Camila Takes Us Behind The Scenes On Tour
Camila Cabello is on the road with Taylor Swift now, but she just wrapped up her very first headlining tour in Europe, and just released a video tour diary of that time. The mini-doc takes us behind the scenes of her tour, alternating between fan interviews & shots from the stage, with Camila narrating her experience.
"I feel like the never be the same tour has changed my life because this has been my first time really talking to a crowd… really like telling my story & opening up & being vulnerable. And talking about what these songs are about, who I am, how I feel, how I felt before in my life. How I react to heartbreak & hurt. I think it’s the most vulnerable I’ve ever been, and I’ve always been, like, even though it doesn’t seem like it, when it comes to public speaking & talking to people I’ve always been really really painfully shy… I think that this has changed my life in the sense that I feel so safe in this environment. I feel so loved with the people that I love all around me – my fans all around me – that it does feel like when I’m talking to the crowd, I’m talking to my friends."
Check out the clip above to get a feel for Camila, and tune in to the MTV VMAs tonight (Monday, August 20th) to see if she takes home the Artist of The Year moonman!

Respect
Today we say goodbye to a musical legend. On the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, Aretha Franklin has joined him in that rock ‘n’ roll band we know must be jamming in heaven.
Aretha’s music influenced artists of every genre – and has even made appearances at country music industry events. Like that time in 1988 when then-three time consecutive female vocalist of the year Reba McEntire performed “Respect” at the CMA Awards. Reba said it was controversial, but she said the song connected with her mental outlook at the time.
Country artists have been paying their respects (no pun intended) on social media today, including Reba, who also shared a video of her 1988 performance.
Rest in peace, Queen. Thank you for the music. – Jess Wright
Remembering Aretha Franklin
The reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” has created an amazing legacy that spans an incredible six decades, from her first recording as a teenage gospel star to a stunning string of seminal R&B, Pop and Soul classics. Take a deep dive into her music, her collaborators, her inspirations and the many who site her as an inspiration.
Bebe Rexha Gets Real With Rolling Stone
Bebe Rexha is one of those artists who puts it ALL out there – whether she’s spilling the dirt on her breakthrough track with Eminem (you know, the one where she was replaced by Rihanna) or discussing how she failed, big time, and got dropped from her first record deal.
2018 is FINALLY the year of Bebe, and she sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about all these experiences, plus what it’s like to sing about her own anxieties and going to therapy.
