OHMYGOSSIP — Pitbull insists Kesha’s name was not intentionally removed from their 2013 ‘Timber’ music video credits.
After eagle-eyed YouTube users noticed the ‘Tik Tok’ star’s name was missing, it sparked speculation of some sort of revenge by the song’s producer, Dr. Luke.
The ‘Fireball’ hitmaker has denied it being anything to do with himself and has his team investigating.
The title was originally listed as ‘Pitbull – Timber (Official Video) ft. Kesha’ and now it’s just ‘Pitbull – Timber (Official Video)’.
Alongside a clip of the promo, Pitbull wrote on X: “[Kesha] and I have an incredible song together.
“Nothing will change this. Team Pitbull is looking into this matter. Always nothing but love for Kesha, Dale!”
Kesha was in a long-running legal dispute with Dr. Luke after she sued him for sexual assault and battery, sexual harassment, gender violence, emotional abuse, and violation of California business practices.
After almost a decade, the dispute ended in March 2024.
The ‘Woman’ singer recently admitted she felt like she had “lost the rights to [herself]”.
As she prepares to independently release her first album as an independent artist on Kesha Records, she told Paper magazine: “This is the first album I’m making where I’m 100 per cent in control of everything. It feels like it’s my first album.
“It feels divine, it feels like it stands for a lot. It’s really beautiful, and I cannot wait to share it. It’s maybe the most beautiful time of my entire life!”
The pop star released her first independent single, ‘Joyride’, last month and shared how she was able to recapture the emotions she felt when making her 2010 debut ‘Animal’.
Kesha said: “This is the first time in my life I’ve felt similarly to how I did in that point in my life, when I was making music from a purely joyful place. But you know, because of life, this is even more exciting, because it’s all really 100 per cent me.
“That feels really good, just to step into my own worth, and my own power and not have anything in my mind or the external world say it’s anything but me.
“It’s pretty unavoidable that whether people like or hate ‘Joyride’, it’s all me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Shawn Mendes lost his sense of purpose after cancelling his world tour in 2022.
The ‘Treat You Better’ singer continued his return to performing with an intimate gig at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Tuesday (13.08.24) and discussed his fragile state of mind following his decision to scrap his world tour after just seven shows two years ago for the sake of his mental health.
Shawn told fans at the show: “I got back to LA and I was like, ‘I have no idea who I am and what to do with myself’.
“I was not really singing, I was not really playing guitar.”
Shawn was propelled to global stardom as a teenager with hits like ‘Stitches’ and talked about the loneliness and anxiety that comes with being in the spotlight.
The 26-year-old singer said: “The thing that was so terrifying for me was this sensation of being alone… in a situation where it was all on my shoulders.
“It gets heavy when it’s all on your shoulders (but) these days I’m starting to realise there’s a lot of people I can fall back on.”
The London show was one of a series of ‘For My Friends and Family Only’ concerts to showcase the artist’s new album ‘Shawn’ – which is due to be released on October 18 and will draw on his experience from the past two years.
In a heartfelt message posted on Instagram, Shawn wrote: “Music really can be medicine. 2 years ago I felt like I had absolutely no idea who I was. A year ago I couldn’t step into a studio without falling into complete panic. So to be here right now with 12 beautiful finished songs feels like such a gift. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift plans to put on the “best show of her life” on her return to Wembley Stadium.
The 34-year-old music megastar returns to London for the first of a five-night Eras Tour spectacular on Thursday (15.08.24) and is said to be championing a theme of unity following the murder of three girls at a Swift-themed dance class in Southport and the cancellation of shows in Vienna last week after a terrorist attack was foiled.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Everything that Taylor does is for her fans and she will be putting on the best show of her life when she returns to Wembley.
“Hate never wins and Taylor absolutely stands for that.
“Her shows are about love, unity and acceptance, and this is a message she will always want to convey.”
Insiders say that the ‘Cruel Summer’ hitmaker’s friend Ed Sheeran will be supporting her at Wembley and could even make an appearance on stage.
It was reported earlier this week that the security presence for Taylor’s Wembley shows had been elevated to “presidential levels” following the cancellation of her concerts in the Austrian capital.
A source said: “Taylor’s security and of those around her has always been paramount, but even more so now.
“She and her dancers were told to ‘go to ground for their own safety’ in light of the Vienna threat. That’s why nothing has been said about the cancelled shows beyond the promoter’s statement.”
A statement from the Metropolitan Police last weekend assured Swifties that there is “nothing to indicate” that the Wembley gigs will be targeted.
The statement – obtained by PEOPLE – read: “There’s nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will have an impact on upcoming events here in London.
“(The city hosts) a significant number of very high profile events each year with millions of visitors having a safe and enjoyable experience.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Adele is delighted to have discovered the “absolutely amazing” Chappell Roan.
The music superstar explained how she has become aware of the ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ hitmaker over the past week and has been wowed by her talent.
Speaking to the crowd during her performance in Munich on Wednesday (14.08.24), Adele said: “Chappell Roan is her name, yes?
“I heard a song a little while ago at my birthday, and I loved it, and it was one of my best friend’s playlists. And then, I went down a rabbit hole on Monday (12.08.24). All day long.”
The ‘Rolling in the Deep’ singer continued: “She is spectacular, and it turns out, she’s not just got one song. She’s got, like, seven f****** brilliant songs. I think she’s absolutely amazing. I’m very excited for her, but my friend also said she’s a bit scared.
“So, do what you gotta do, baby girl, but you’re phenomenal. Anyway, that’s all I’ve done this week is discover Chappell Roan.”
Chappell, 26, has enjoyed global success with her debut album ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’ but explained that she “misses” being able to do drugs in public as a result of her fame.
During an appearance on ‘The Comment Section with Drew Afualo’, she said: “[Doing] drugs in public. That’s what I miss. Just like, rolling up, being a f****** freak at the bar or making out with someone at the bar.
“I miss frolicking, obviously, because now I’m self-conscious to frolic.”
Chappell revealed that she goes out “in disguise” most of the time now and “misses” the days before she lost her anonymity as people have started to be “weird” around her and her family in the wake of her success.
She said: “I’m in disguise most of the time. But like, I miss just walking around being by myself. I guess being by myself is [what] I miss. People have started to be freaks.
“They follow me and know where my parents live and my sister, where my sister works, all this weird s***.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift brought out “best friend” Ed Sheeran as she resumed the ‘Eras Tour’ at Wembley Stadium on Thursday night (15.08.24).
The 34-year-old Grammy winner had a special treat in store for Swifties as she introduced her special guest during the acoustic section of her show.
Taylor was performing ‘Everything Has Changed’, which Ed co-wrote for the pop superstar, when she re-started the song and the flame-haired singer, 33, joined her and turned into a mashup with their duet ‘End Game’ and his song ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
Taylor remarked: “That was so fun, I had such a good time.”
The mammoth set lasted for well over three hours and featured all the hits, including ‘Cruel Summer’, ‘Blank Space’, ‘Style’, ‘Anti-Hero’, and ‘Shake It Off’.
The concert comes following the murder of three girls at a Taylor-themed dance class in Southport and the cancellation of shows in Vienna last week after a terrorist attack was foiled.
It was reported earlier this week that the security presence for Taylor’s Wembley shows had been elevated to “presidential levels” following the cancellation of her three concerts in the Austrian capital.
A statement from the Metropolitan Police last weekend assured Swifties that there is “nothing to indicate” that the Wembley gigs will be targeted.
The statement – obtained by PEOPLE – read: “There’s nothing to indicate that the matters being investigated by the Austrian authorities will have an impact on upcoming events here in London.

OHMYGOSSIP — Willie Nelson “faces death with grace” on new his album ‘Last Leaf on the Tree’.
The 91-year-old musician is preparing to release his 76th solo record in November and his 34-year-old son Micah Nelson – who produced the album – has revealed the project embraced Willie’s ability to address the “finality of life in recent years”.
Micah explained: “There are little side-quests, but that became the through-line – facing death with grace.”
Micah previously worked with his dad on family albums ‘Willie and the Boys’ in 2017 and 2021’s ‘The Willie Nelson Family’ but this is the first time he has produced one of his dad’s records.
The album’s first single is a cover of Tom Waits’ ‘Last Leaf’ which Willie previously recorded as a collaboration with Rolling Stones star Keith Richards back in 2011.
‘Last Leaf on the Tree’ boasts another Waits song – ‘House Where Nobody Lives’ – as well as covers of tracks by the Flaming Lips, Beck and Neil Young.
The album also features ‘Wheels’ which was written by Micah and ‘Color of Sound’ which father and son wrote together.
Micah added he took a “sculptor’s approach” to producing the album, adding: “It’s an approach that I really love and have used a lot over the years – just throwing the clay down and stepping back, then maybe adding a little more, and then maybe shaving down here, and kind of building the tracks that way.”
He also explained he played more than 20 different instruments while recording the album and even produced sounds using more unusual methods such as performing with “sticks and branches, logs and dead leaves”.
‘Last Leaf’ was released on August 15 and ‘Last Leaf on the Tree’ will land on November 1.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have released their new duet ‘Die With a Smile’.
The pair had been teasing the collaboration on social media in recent days and eventually dropped the ballad on Thursday (15.08.24) evening.
The song features Bruno singing the first verse before Gaga takes over for the second before the two bounce off each other’s vocals for the remainder of the track.
The music video has the style of a 1970s Nashville with the two artists wearing light blue suits and red shirts while Gaga sings the last verse with a cigarette between her teeth.
The ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker explained that it was Mars who approached her about performing the song together.
Gaga, 38, said: “Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating. I was finishing my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on.
“It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song.
“Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There’s no one like him.”
The ‘Leave the Door Open’ singer said in his own statement: “Getting to work with Gaga has been an honour. She’s an icon and she makes the song magical. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it.”
Gaga is busy working on her latest album – a follow-up to 2020’s ‘Chromatica’ – and likened the process of making music to meditation.
She captioned a series of black-and-white studio snaps on Instagram: “Just me in the studio – happy as ever making music.
“Feel so grateful, heart is peaceful. It’s like meditation.
“I can’t wait for you to hear what I’m working on.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Script think that the late Mark Sheehan would’ve loved the new album ‘Satellites’.
The ‘Man Who Can’t Be Moved’ band were left devastated by the passing of the guitarist at the age of 46 after a short illness last year but frontman Danny O’Donoghue is convinced that he would be proud of their latest record and the title track especially.
Danny is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column as saying: “There was one song which he heard, which he really loved, which was the song ‘Satellites’ that I know he loved. And although we didn’t work on it together, I know he loved that tune and he loved the lyric in it.”
The 43-year-old musician also thinks there is a particular poignancy to the title of the new album that is released on Friday (16.08.24).
Danny explained: “So for me, moving past, it wasn’t necessarily why we called the album ‘Satellites’, but the more that I love the album title there’s a great symmetry to it as well.
“And also, someone had brought it up that like he’s a satellite right now. You know, he’s got this beautiful vantage point above the Earth where he can look over everything and just, you know, check over things.
“I mean, what are we all at the end of the day? We’re all just pieces of dust floating through space.
“So ‘Satellites’, I think it’s an apt name for the title of the album. It’s a beautiful, beautiful song as well on there. I hope he’d be proud of it.”
Danny explained that his songwriting has shifted to a point where he wants fans to be belting out the Irish band’s anthems like “football chants”.
He said: “There’s a few melodies that hit a whole stadium that they sing. They’re almost like football chants. So they can’t be too complicated in melody.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Foster the People’s new album was inspired by a trip to London.
The ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ band’s latest record ‘Paradise State of Mind’ releases on Friday (16.08.24) and frontman Mark Foster described how the record stemmed from an impromptu studio session in the UK capital with Adele’s producer Paul Epworth and singer-songwriter Jack Penate.
Mark is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Wired column as saying: “He brought Jack Penate over, who I’m a huge fan of. And the three of us started a song and finished a song. With no intention of going in there and actually doing this.
“Completely organic and just having fun. And for me, it was therapeutic, just to be in the room with Paul and Jack, who are very special people.
“For them to kind of emote that to me, helped me to kind of come out of my shell and we ended up writing a song that ended up becoming the title track to our new record.
“I look at that as day one of making the new record. Then I camped out in the studio for two-and-a-half months.”
Foster the People’s debut album ‘Torches’ proved successful when it was released in 2011 and Mark felt that music “wasn’t going to happen” for him beforehand.
The 40-year-old musician told The Line of Best Fit magazine: “I can remember the feeling I had when I was writing ‘Torches’.
“I was alone in a tiny little studio and I was just exploring, I was just having fun. I had been in LA for about eight years at that point, working all sorts of random jobs, grinding, barely paying rent. And I was like, basically 26 because I moved to LA when I was 18. And in a lot of ways, I kind of felt like my time had passed, and that it wasn’t going to happen for me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Yungblud says his new album will be released in early 2025.
The 27-year-old musician is in the process of making his fourth album and told fans that they can expect a nine-minute opening track on the “rock opera” record.
In an interview with The Osbournes, Yungblud said: “The record we’re making at the minute is probably the closest to a rock opera we’ve ever done. So it’s made to be played start-to-finish, which is a really cool thing to do.
“The opening song’s nine minutes.”
The ‘Cotton Candy’ rocker – whose real name is Dom Harrison – explained that the album won’t be released until the beginning of next year as he is determined to “get it right”.
When asked by Sharon Osbourne when the record will come out, Yunglud replied: “Probably early next year, I would say. It’s a f****** big idea, so I want to get it right. I don’t want a s*** rock opera. You’ve got to f****** think big, it’s going to be cool.”
Meanwhile, the star recently described how he was treating the new album as if it will be the last one he ever makes.
He told Fearne Cotton on the ‘Happy Place’ podcast: “I’m almost approaching my next album like, if I die now, what is the one album I want to leave behind? Regardless of genre, is it cool, will it make 150,000 people move I’ve like literally just thrown that out the window and I’m like what does my soul want to say?”
Yungblud explained that the release of his debut book, ‘You Need To Exist’, has “facilitated” the new record.
He said: “This year, creating that, it has very much facilitated the album as well because it’s kind of like this book has almost helped me write my next album because it’s kind of gone like, f*** it, someone’s soul captured on record, or in a painting, or in a book, or in a movie script – that’s when it truly like transcends time because every one of us has a soul, and very few of us let the world see it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Rodrigo often sleeps for “13 hours a day” to cope with the exhaustion of touring.
The 21-year-old pop superstar is currently in Los Angeles on her mammoth ‘Guts World Tour’ and has revealed her sleeping habit and the way she stays “grounded” on the road.
She told Complex: “Oh, wow. Well, I sleep so much on tour. I sleep for 13 hours a day sometimes. I’m so exhausted. So that passes a lot of the time. But I’ve just been reading and I’ve been watching all of my comfort shows. I’ve been watching Sex and the City every day to make myself feel like I’m grounded and at home. [Laughs].”
Olivia is based in LA and admits it’s “weird” getting to sleep in her own bed and go straight to her concerts at the Kia Forum.
She said: “It’s amazing. It’s kind of weird, I’ve been on tour for so long in various cities around the world, so it’s interesting to just wake up in my own bed and be like, ‘Oh, time to play a show today!’ It throws off my routine a little bit, but it’s so nice to be home, and have all my friends and family come to the shows. It’s a really good vibe.”
Elsewhere, the ‘Good 4 U’ hitmaker admitted it was a challenging time making her second studio album, ‘Guts’, but she’s proud of sticking with it and honing her craft.
She said of the follow-up to 2021’s ‘Sour’: “I worked really hard on this album, and it wasn’t always easy, so I’m really happy that I persevered and ended up making something that I’m really proud of. It taught me a lot about discipline and creativity and how sometimes even when you’re not, like, “I’m just dying to sit at the piano,” sometimes it’s just [important to] hone in on your craft. Just sit there and hash things out. So I’m really proud of that, and I think I’ve really sharpened some of my songwriting skills in making that album. I’m proud of that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rock legend Suzi Quatro shared a psychic connection with singer Brocarde at the Wacken Open Air Festival.
The ‘Devil Gate Drive’ hitmaker met with the spooky songwriter-and-performer – who famously married and divorced the ghost of a Victorian soldier – at the heavy metal festival, which is held in Germany, and the 74-year-old American musician immediately picked up on her physic abilities after gazing into her eyes.
During their intimate chat, Suzi revealed that she could pick up on Brocarde’s physic abilities and gift of communicating with the dead, as she was a kindred spirit with the same physic powers.
Suzi told Brocarde: “Your eyes are very deep, you know a lot, you can see a lot, and you have lived several lives, it drains you a lot. I know you’re physic because I can see it in you, as I am too, we are soul sisters.”
Brocarde revealed that for many years she didn’t understand her own abilities but could always sense and see things that others couldn’t.
She said: “Growing up people would always say that I was too much or too sensitive, now I realise that seeing and sensing much more than what people tell me is part of who I am. It just is, and I’m on a huge journey to accept it and embrace it.
“Meeting people like Suzi who understand it without me even having to explain leaves a powerful impact on me. I feel like I’m on a crazy journey.”
Brocarde was invited by the organisers of the Wacken Open Air Festival to try and communicate with the spirit of late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister.
The heavy metal icon’s ashes were scattered at the festival site last year, in an area they call The Holy Ground, and there is a memorial on site in his memory.
Brocarde conducted an emotive séance in front of the festival’s shrine for Lemmy and he appeared to her riding a black stallion horse and holding a slice of pizza.
The apparition of Lemmy came to Brocarde during a ritual, where she was overcome with emotion and felt a sadness churning inside of her. To conduct her seance Brocarde was given some of Lemmy’s personal possessions, and surrounded herself in sacred objects, a deer skull, dragon blood sage and a crow’s wing, to give her a divine power and protect her from any evil entities. The altar that she created also played homage to Lemmy, with an ‘Ace of Spades’ playing card, in honour of the Motörhead hit, and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s which Brocarde used to raise a toast to the late Motörhead singer.
Of the paranormal experience, Brocarde said: “I knew I had to come to Wacken to participate in something that had a greater purpose, I was nervous to try to connect with the spirit of Lemmy as he is treasured by many, and I didn’t know how I would deal with it if he had a message for me. I feel like some of what I picked up cannot be explained, but that’s the nature of what I do, sometimes the purpose of what happens reveals itself later, and things fall into place in time. Life is very much like that.”
Brocarde developed her ability to communicate with the death after a dramatic spiritual encounter with her ghost ex-husband Edwardo and is currently touring the world filming a TV show and learning more about the paranormal world.
Her supernatural encounters have seen her featured on multiple TV programmes such as ‘Say Yes to the Dress’, ‘This Morning’, ‘Gogglebox’ and ‘First Dates’, and she has collaborated with some of the world’s biggest brands.
Earlier this summer, she went ghost hunting at Download Festival and connected with the spirits of two Georgian aristocrats who were waiting to listen to Busted.
Brocarde is fully embracing her spiritual awakening as she believes nothing happens without reason, and she will be releasing her new music in the Autumn, just in time for Halloween.

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift performed an unexpected track for the first time on the ‘Eras’ tour at Wembley Stadium.
The 34-year-old pop superstar initially played a string of dates at the iconic venue in June but is now back there to complete the European run shows of her mammoth world tour and on Saturday (17.08.24) she performed ‘I Did Something Bad’ from her 2017 album ‘Reputation’ as her surprise song.
She told the crowd: “So I’m going to do a song I’ve never done on the tour that’s one of my favorite songs ever just because you’re that awesome and you deserve something of this calibre. It’s such a dream to perform for a crowd like this, especially when there’s 92,000 of you.”
The ‘Love Story’ singer has been re-recording her studio albums under the subtitle of ‘Taylor’s Version’ ever since it emerged Scooter Braun had paid over $300 million for the rights to Taylor’s records.
The next album remake she has to release is ‘Reputation’ , and towards the end of 2023, Taylor announced that the new version of its predecessor ‘1989’ would be coming out while she was performing on stage in the US.
On Friday night, the ‘Anti-Hero’ hitmaker brought out her “best friend” Ed Sheeran during the acoustic section of her show.
Taylor was performing ‘Everything Has Changed’, which Ed co-wrote for the singer, when she re-started the song, and the ‘Bad Habits’ hitmaker, 33, joined her and turned into a mashup with their duet ‘End Game’ and his song ‘Thinking Out Loud’.
Taylor remarked: “That was so fun, I had such a good time.”
The Grammy winner will play one more night at Wembley on August 20, and will resume the final leg of the tour in North America in October before wrapping up in early December..

OHMYGOSSIP — Demi Lovato was an “egotistical child star”.
The 31-year-old singer first found fame on the TV show ‘Barney and Friends’ during the early 2000s, and Demi has now acknowledged that her parents struggled to deal with her, and her attitude, at the time.
The chart-topping pop star told The Hollywood Reporter: “Having the child be the breadwinner almost inherently changes the dynamic of a family, and then it becomes, like, how do you discipline that breadwinner?
“I mean, they’d try to ground me, but I was an egotistical child star, and I thought I was on top of the world. I’d be like, ‘But I pay the bills,’ and what do you say to that?”
Last year, Demi claimed that the world has entered a “new era of child stardom”.
At the time, Demi announced that she was set to direct the Hulu documentary ‘Child Star’, and Demi is determined to shine a light on the issue.
The singer told PEOPLE: “I want this to give some insight into what it’s like to become a child performer, whether it’s acting or through music, but in the entertainment industry because my parents didn’t get that before I was a child star.”
What’s more, Demi believes social media has changed the landscape for young stars.
The singer – who has previously battled with addiction and suffered a near-fatal drug overdose in 2018 – said: “It’s also important because we’re now in the digital age with TikTok, YouTube and social media where children are becoming famous for unboxing toys, and it’s a new era of child stardom. So having that conversation is important as well.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Beyonce had one of her team deliver her Post Malone collaboration to his personal compound in Utah to avoid leaks.
The ‘Pour Me a Drink’ hitmaker has recalled “how terrifying” it all was having to tread carefully to avoid ‘LEVII’S JEANS’ from Beyonce’s country album ‘Cowboy Carter’ getting out.
In an Interview with The New York Times, the 29-year-old star admitted he cannot “even imagine” what it’s like to be at the 42-year-old ‘Crazy in Love’ hitmaker or his ‘Fortnight’ duet partner Taylor Swift’s “level” of fame.
The humble star said: “I can’t even imagine being at their level — it must suck.”
The ‘Circles’ hitmaker – whose real name is Austin Richard Post – revealed the extreme lengths they went to to keep 34-year-old Taylor’s scenes in the video for ‘Fortnight’ under wraps.
He shared how she had “an umbrella and drapes over the golf cart so drones and a helicopter couldn’t get footage.”
Post added: “That’s so much pressure.”
The singer has traversed many genres, from hip-hop, pop, and rock, to R’nB, and trap, and before his foray into country music with his imminent album, ‘F-1 Trillion’, he contemplated quitting music.
He said of his last two albums, 2022’s ‘Twelve Carat Toothache’ and 2023’s ‘Austin’: “There was a second there where I was like, ‘Oh well, maybe I have made enough money, and it’s time to go and just ranch.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chappell Roan still wants “to be like Hannah Montana”.
The 26-year-old viral star is a huge fan of Miley Cyrus and her former Disney Channel alter ego, and the first ever show she went to watch was the ‘Best of Both Worlds’ hitmaker’s tour with the Jonas Brothers.
Speaking at Miley’s Disney Legend induction ceremony over the weekend – which saw the 31-year-old star become the youngest ever person to get the honour – Chappell said: “Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana tour with Jonas Brothers opening was my first concert ever.
“She came down in a box from the ceiling. I was like, ‘How do I do that one day?’
“I still think about it. I still think about the show. I want to be like Hannah Montana. There’s a lot of crossover between Miley and my project, and it’s just like, I’m such a fan too.”
Chappell was a huge fan of Miley’s TV series, ‘Hannah Montana’, where the star played a seemingly average teenage girl who lives a double life as a famous pop singer.
The ‘Casual’ singer revealed she also loves the way Miley is able to “constantly” change her style in a way that “always works” while feeling genuine.
She added: “The thing that I admire about Miley Cyrus is that she constantly reinvents herself and always works.
“For a lot of artists, it can seem inauthentic or out of the blue, but she’s very open about her transformations artistically and personally, and she’s so true to herself. She puts out music that is so authentic.”
She recently recalled being starstruck when Miley Cyrus invited her to a party.
Speaking on Drew Afualo’s ‘The Comment Section’ podcast, she said: “Miley invited me to a party, and I was like, ‘You don’t know that you were my first concert when the Jonas Brothers were opening for you.’
“I was in fourth grade, and when she came out I saw my friends start crying, and then little girls around us started crying, and I was like, ‘I guess I’ve gotta cry.’
“I was like, ‘This is so emotional.’
“I didn’t understand then why people were crying, but now I get it. I’m like, ‘Oh, because that was the coolest thing.’ It was so spiritual.”
