Today (November 8), we saw the first major step towards the 2025 Grammy Awards: The nominations were revealed (find the full list here). Given that the point of awards shows like these are superlatives, a natural question to emerge from the reveal of the nominees is:

Who Has The Most 2025 Grammy Nominations?

As Billboard notes, Beyoncé has 11 nominations this year, most than anybody else in 2025. In fact, that’s the most ever by a woman in one year, and it’s tied for second of all time, alongside Kendrick Lamar and Jon Batiste, and behind Michael Jackson and Babyface, who each had 12-nomination years.

Beyoncé’s nominations are in the categories of Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Melodic Rap Performance, Best Country Solo Performance, Best Country Duo/Group Performance, Best Country Song, Best Country Album, and Best Americana Performance.

By the way: Over the course of her career, Beyoncé now has 99 total nominations, which is the most ever.

Meanwhile, there’s a four-way tie for second this year, as Lamar, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, and Post Malone each have seven nods. (This means Lamar is the most-nominated rapper for 2025.) Behind them with six nominations apiece are Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift.

Rihanna Names Billie Eilish As Her Number One Dream Collaboration

by

Rihanna has always had love for other artists. She has collaborated with tons of rappers and pop stars throughout the years. She’s taken the last decade off to focus on her family and fashion line, but she’s rumored to have a new album around the corner. The rumors have been boosted by the fact that she’s talking about other musicians. She recently praised Kendrick Lamar for playing the upcoming Halftime Show at the Super Bowl. Now, Rihanna has decided to give flowers to Billie Eilish.

Rihanna got on the topic of dream collaborators during a recent interview with Access Hollywood. She was asked who would top of her lists of artists to work with, and she answered Billie Eilish right away. “If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish,” Rihanna asserted. “She’s so good.” The shout out completely took the “Birds of a Feather” aback. She reposted the interview on her Instagram Story with a caption that can only be described as starstuck. “What in the absolute f*ck oh my god what the f*ck.” Eilish has made her adoration of Rihanna very clear in the past.

Billie Eilish Previously Praised Rihanna In Vogue

The singer actually pointed to RiRi when it came to who she thought were the hottest stars on the planet. Eilish spoke on femininity, and the notion of attractiveness, during a 2023 profile with Vogue. During the conversation, the singer determined that Rihanna was the benchmark for beauty. “I think that I decided the other day that I think she’s the hottest person to ever exist in the history of the world,” she asserted. The admiration is clearly mutual between the two artists. It’s fascinating, however, to consider that Billie Eilish’s entire musical career has played out in the time since Rihanna dropped her last album.

Rihanna released Anti in 2016, and has teased new music intermittently since then. She seemed to be hard at work on material during the first half of the year, but we’re nearing November and still no word on a release date. It doesn’t help that Rihanna’s partner, ASAP Rocky, also seems to be stalling with regards to releasing new music. Rihanna claimed that she and Rocky have been in the studio together, so we can only hope they come out of their joint hiatus soon. Maybe there’s a Billie Eilish collab around the corner.

Rihanna’s Dream Collaborator Is Billie Eilish, Who Once Called Her ‘The Hottest Person To Ever Exist In The History Of The World’

Given that Rihanna is a massive global star, she’s collaborated with so many people at this point in her music career. That said, it’s been nearly a decade since her latest album, 2016’s Anti, and since then, a whole generation of music stars has emerged. One of these new icons has caught Rihanna’s eye: Billie Eilish.

In a recent interview (video here), Rihanna was asked who her “dream collaborator” is, and she said, “If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish. Mmm-mmm… she’s so good.”

Eilish hasn’t publicly responded to this situation, but she’ll likely be over the moon when she hears about it, as she’s a longtime Rihanna stan.

Last year, Eilish declared, “I think that I decided the other day that I think she’s the hottest person to ever exist in the history of the world.”

In a 2019 interview, she said, “Who would I want to meet? Um… Rihanna. But, like, only if she would want to, because my entire life, I’ve never even wanted to meet my idols because I never wanted to bother then.” When the interviewer insisted Rihanna would “love” to meet Eilish “and then maybe work together,” Eilish responded, “I would die a million times.”

In a 2019 Billboard interview, she spoke about what she admires about Rihanna:

“People like her and like Childish Gambino, Tyler [The Creator] and Kanye — [there’s] not just one thing that they’re known for. They take what they have and actually turn it into more. That’s what I’ve always wanted to do. I really want to design shoes, and I really want to f*cking design a car. I direct my own videos and edit them myself most of the time, so hopefully more of that. I think Rihanna is f*cking murdering it. Everyone who is like, ‘Stop with the [Fenty] brand and put out more music,’ I think, ‘Shut the f*ck up.’ She is doing exactly what she needs to do, and that’s fire. Yeah, we want new Rihanna music, but we also want Rihanna. Only props to her.”

So, basically, don’t rule out this collaboration actually happening at some point.

Barack Obama’s (Brat) Summer Playlist Includes Fan Favorites From Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, And Shaboozey

Former President Obama has shared his latest summer playlist, and of course, he’s all-in on Brat Summer too. This year’s list includes new fan favorites from the likes of Billie Eilish, Shaboozey, and of course, Charli XCX, but it also has quite a few throwbacks, as well. “No Diggity” from Blackstreet makes an appearance, as does “Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting” from jazz great Charles Mingus and “How Do U Want It” from the late, great Tupac Shakur.

But, a big part of Obama’s appeal has been that he’s an older guy who keeps up with the times, and as per usual, he certainly does seem to have his ear to the streets — or at least, the algorithms. From Billie Eilish’s new album, Hit Me Hard And Soft, he’s got “Chihiro”; from Charli XCX’s unlikely political favorite, “365.” Shaboozey’s J-Kwon-sampling “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is a no-brainer, as is Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby.”

However, there are also some surprises here. Rising British rapper Enny appears with her 2023 single “Charge It,” as does Saweetie’s newest single, “My Best.” R&B stars H.E.R. and Cleo Sol both appear (both songs are throwbacks from their catalogs, with “Process” and “Why Don’t You” representing their respective artists). But lest you think that golden ear is turning to tin, Tems’ “Love Me Jeje” also appears to keep things up to date.

You can see Mr. Obama’s full summer playlist below.

Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, And More (Including Some Surprise Guests) Perform For The 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony

Days ahead of the 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony yesterday (August 11), there were reports of who would be performing (beyond previously announced acts), and the list included Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Well, the reports ended up being true, as the world learned last night.

The festivities kicked off at Stade de France, and among the performers there was Phoenix, who called upon a number of guests for their set, including Kavinsky, VannDa, Air, and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. Later, HER performed the United States National Anthem.

Then, there was a series of performances from Long Beach, California, which were pre-taped on August 10. There, Snoop busted out a setlist featuring (per setlist.fm) “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “The Next Episode” alongside Dr. Dre, “Gin And Juice,” and “What’s My Name” (check out a video here).

At another point, RHCP hit the beach for “Can’t Stop” and “Eddie” (video), while Eilish (with Finneas, of course) played “Birds Of A Feather” and “The Greatest” (video).

It was a good showing from the United States, and that was the case for the actual Olympic events themselves. By the time all the medals had been handed out, the US had secured the most with 126 in total while tying with China for the most gold medals, with 40.

The 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony Will Reportedly Feature Snoop Dogg (Of Course), Billie Eilish, HER, Red Hot Chili Peppers, And More

In July, the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics had some firepower, featuring performances from Lady Gaga, Celine Dion, and Gojira. Now, the event is nearing its end, as the Olympics are set to wrap up this Sunday, August 11.

There’s going to be a closing ceremony, too, and now we’re starting to get word about which musicians will be involved in that spectacle.

A new report from Variety that cites “multiple sources” indicates that Billie Eilish, Snoop Dogg, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to perform. The performances will reportedly take place in Los Angeles (the host of the 2028 Olympics) and will be a combination of live and pre-taped performances.

Meanwhile, People also reports that HER will participate as well, by singing the United States National Anthem. Her performance will take place in Paris, live from Stade de France.

This follows reports that French bands Phoenix and Air would also perform during the closing ceremony, and there will apparently also be a large-scale stunt from Tom Cruise. Variety has since confirmed the reports of Phoenix and Air’s performances.

The 2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony is set to broadcast on NBC, and stream on Peacock, on August 11 at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT).

Tyler The Creator Falls For Billie Eilish’s Absurd Interview Prank Call

by

Tyler, The Creator has built his persona on being a troll. He loves to get a rise out of people, and that includes interviewers. The Odd Future founder has a very particular sense of humor, which seems to be why he’s developed such a strong bond with Billie Eilish. The two artists have nothing but nice things to say about each other. However, Eilish pulled a fast one during a recent interview with Elle Magazine. She decided to call Tyler, The Creator, and convince him that she was in deep trouble.

Billie Eilish doesn’t get far into the bit without laughing. That being said, she does try to sell the idea that she defecated in her pants during a date, and she needs Tyler’s help. “Honestly,” the rapper said. “Fire.” Eilish cracks up at the rapper’s flippant answer, but keeps going with the story. She claims to be close to Tyler, The Creator’s house, and asks whether she can come by. Tyler is baffled. “Uh, I’m in Atlanta,” he revealed. Eilish asks whether she can go to his L.A. property, shower, and borrow some clothes, and he agrees. Not, however, before giving her a hard time for what happened. Billie Eilish eventually pulls the rug out from under Tyler, The Creator and admits the call was a prank.

Billie Eilish Cites Tyler, The Creator As A Major Influence

Tyler, The Creator took the whole thing in stride. “That’s amazing,” he can be heard saying over the phone. “That’s the content they’re doing for journalism, now?” Eilish apologizes, and Tyler cracks a few more jokes before hanging up. As absurd as the whole prank call is, Eilish has made it clear that she has an adoration for Tyler, The Creator and what he represents. During a 2020 interview with NME, the pop star claimed that Tyler was the most influential artist in her life.

“Everybody knows Tyler has inspired every part of everything about me,” Eilish claimed. “Basically, I’ve been a fan of Tyler’s forever, and I never really got to listen to all of this album [IGOR].” Tyler, The Creator has returned the praise. During a 2019 chat with Apple Music‘s Zane Lowe, the rapper admitted that he wanted to work with Eilish. “I like her,” he admitted. “I think she’s, I just want her to just keep doing her damn thing. [I’d] want to work with her. I don’t know what the f*ck we would make…” Hopefully we’ll get to hear what these two will make in the future.

Billie Eilish Pranked Tyler The Creator By Saying She Pooped Her Pants And His Response Was So On Brand And Hilarious

by

Elle does a video series called “Phoning It In,” where they get their celebrity guest to prank call some of their famous contacts. Billie Eilish is the latest participant, and her call to Tyler The Creator is pure gold.

The show gives Eilish some prank prompts to go with, but she got to do her own prank idea for Tyler. So, she decided to tell him she was calling him from the bathroom on a date because she pooped her pants.

Tyler was on one right away, as he answered the call, “‘Sup, gay man?” After Eilish fed him the poop lie, he quickly responded, “Fire. Honestly? Fire. You deserve it.”

Eilish, through laughter, told Tyler she didn’t know what to do and asked if she could go to his house. He eventually said yes before wanting to go over the poop story again. Eilish told him she thought it was a fart, and he replied, “Bro, you don’t… you don’t stop once you feel it?”

She then gave up the gag and told him he was being pranked. After some silence, Tyler responded, “That’s amazing. That’s the content that they’re doing for journalism now? Nice.” He added, “Look, I sharted like two months ago.”

The overall theme of that and Eilish’s other prank calls is the prank victims were all very kind. Margot Robbie was super supportive in trying to help Eilish find a new place to shoot a music video, her label head Justin Libliner looked out for Eilish’s well being when she told him she wanted to quit music, and Dakota Johnson did her best to help when Eilish wanted advice about being cast to play a baby in a movie.

The whole video’s pretty fun, so check it out above.

NLE Choppa Is Scared To Shoot His Shot At New Crush Billie Eilish

by

NLE Choppa is honest with his fans. It’s one of the reasons his music resonates. It’s also why he used one of his own songs, “Slut Me Out 2,” to tell the world that he has a crush on Billie Eilish. The rapper hopped on TikTok on July 10 and danced to his song while a message on the screen read: “I got a crush on Billie Elish [sic].” Spelling error aside, the TikTok caught the attention of viewers, if for nothing else the sheer randomness of the selection. NLE Choppa had more to say on the matter, though.

The rapper posted a second TikTok in which he lamented being “bored.” Then a third in which he tries to stretch his legs and flailing them around in frustration. The latter also came with a message that put the bizarre outburst into (some) context. “If I shoot my shot at Billie and it don’t work out,” he wrote. Strange as this whole string of TikToks may seem, this is actually something that NLE Choppa has done before. The rapper is only a few months removed from shooting his shoot with another artist, GloRilla.

NLE was a big fan of GloRilla’s IG thirst traps, and voiced his interest during an interview with AllHipHop. “She’s getting a little thicker. We see you,” he announced. “That a** getting fat now, Glo… She must’ve been on her oats. She ‘bout one more picture away before I’m just there with it.” NLE and GloRilla never linked up, as far as the public knows. Unfortunately, the same is going to be true for the rapper and Billie Eilish, based on the latter’s recent comments about dating.

Billie Eilish was asked about her love life during a March interview with People Magazine. She asserted that she’s “never dating again,” but walked the comment back with a more fleshed-out response. “That’s not true, obviously,” she conceded. “But no, I don’t see myself being serious with anyone until I find someone that really feels right to me, and that is not interesting to me right now.” Billie Eilish’s last serious relationship, with Jesse Rutherford, came to an end in May 2023.

NLE Choppa Admitted He Has A Crush On Billie Eilish, And He’s Scrambling To Figure Out His Next Move

NLE Choppa released “Sl*t Me Out 2” in April, but the Memphis rapper is still promoting the aggressively, explicitly confident single on TikTok.

On Wednesday, July 10, NLE Choppa used the song to soundtrack a TikTok showing him dancing alongside the written message, “I got a crush on Billie Elish [sic].” NLE posted another TikTok in which he’s dancing to “Sl*t Me Out 2” because he’s so “boredddd” before posting one showing him awkwardly attempting to stretch his leg out and flailing like a disappointed child when he lacked any flexibility whatsoever and failed. “If I shoot my shot at Billie and it don’t work out,” the TikTok reads.

Tip No. 1 would be to spell Billie Eilish’s name correctly, but NLE Choppa’s chances don’t seem promising. Regardless, nobody can blame NLE for crushing on Eilish. Even Finneas admitted to Billie on Hot One Versus, “You look good in the dumbest f*cking clothing.”

NLE Choppa also addressed on commenter asking, “What happened to Sophie Rain?” That TikTok displayed the message “Locked in with Sophie til I rest in peace” while soundtracked by NLE’s “Stickin And Movin.”

In late June, NLE Choppa and influencer Sophie Rain posted two TikToks lip-syncing to “Sl*t Me Out 2,” which have since been viewed a collective 27.2 million times. (This is officially the most 2024 post ever.)

Watch all of NLE Choppa’s TikToks below.
