Masterlist, Short n'Sweet Series

“If you haven’t already noticed,” Y/n announced, making the crowd go quiet to hear her talk. “We have a special guest tonight in the crowd.”

The moment the words left her lips and the camera panned to the guy in the audience, beaming up at her with the biggest smile one could muster, the crowd went wild. Lando was just laughing at the reaction.

Everyone there knew how big of an f1 fan Y/n was. Having attended some grand prixs already and posting her reactions to every race on her insta story, she didn’t try to make her love for the sport unknown.

The camera went back to the woman on stage, sirens going off and making everyone know what would happen next. It was a common tradition on the tour. But now, it was different when she said, “I’m sorry, sir, but I’m afraid you’re under arrest for being too hot.”

The way she winked at him and from how red he got at the mere eye contact with her, made it obvious this wasn’t mindless flirting. This was proper natural behavior for them.

“That hot, formula 1 driver I have absolutely no relation to.” She pointed out at the crowd. “You know who I mean, right? Of course, you do.” She nodded in approval at the crowd as they clapped and shouted in excitement. They were there for the show and boy, were they going to give them one.

“Sorry, what was your name again?” She asked innocently, holding the microphone in his direction.

Instead of one answer, she got thousands. All calling one name: Lando.

“Oh, okay. Okay,” she said after genuinely being surprised by the amounts of answers she received.

“Lando, gosh,” she continued talking, waving her hand in front of her face like she was trying not to faint. “Lando.” She mused his name, making it melt on her tongue like it was the most beautiful thing she heard.

She didn’t need to ask, but a script is a script. “Lando, where are you from?”

“Monaco,” he shouted back this time.

“Monaco? So, you’re rich?” He nodded. “And you came all the way here to see me?”

“Only for you.”

“Only for me? You’re too much. Stop it.” Waving her hand at him, as a blush graced her face and she scrunched up her nose. “You’re doing things to me, boy. I can’t even.”

Before she could keep on rambling, her backup dancer opened the back of her once long skirt making it fall down, revealing a shorter version. She stepped out of it, saying, “Oh my god, my clothes are falling of for you. This is embarrassing.”

She heard his voice again, a flirty comment leaving his lips: “Wouldn’t be the first time.”

“Wouldn’t be the first time?” She repeated, trying to see if she heard him correctly. When he nodded, she could see the confidence building up inside of him more and more. He wasn’t as nervous about this anymore as he was backstage before the show. Overthinking and stressing about how the fans would react to it. “Oh, you’re right about that.”

The crowd went wild again. Screaming louder than ever before.

“So, I guess,” she started talking, taking the fluffy pink handcuffs from another one of her backup dancers. “Could you maybe keep them for the rest of the show? Just so, I don’t loose them for later.” She winked at him again, starting to laugh when she saw him bury his face in his hands out of embarrassment.

She could barely still hear herself over the screams of the fans.

“Anyway, I’d like to dedicate this next song to my boyfriend, Lando Norris.”

And then the song began, the crowd going crazy and she couldn’t stop smiling. Everyone knew, finally. They knew and she made it official in a way only she could.

Lando Norris

Yep, this is my girlfriend. No more of that Lando Norizz bullshit.

yourusername: babe, what the fuck is that last picture?

yourusername: love you though, i guess

-> LandoNorris: you guess? Didn’t seem like that last night, huh?

-> yourusername: omg, shut up. This isn't a public account concersation.

Canadian Celtic Group Leahy Share their Riveting Live Show on New LEAHY Live In Concert LP feat. Lead Single “Roots”

Leahy is a powerhouse Celtic music group and one of Canada’s most renowned musical families. To date, they have sold more than half a million albums worldwide, achieved Double Platinum status in their home country and won three JUNOs. Leahy’s story began with a family of 11 siblings whose musical abilities gained them attention from around the world. Their life became the subject of an Academy Award-winning documentary that foretold the success that would follow (The Leahys: Music Most of All). Playing everything from fiddle, piano, guitar, drums, bass, and accordion to singing, step dancing, and composing, the Leahy family were steeped in a world of music. 

Leahy’s newest recording, LEAHY Live In Concert, is the 9th addition to the platinum-selling band’s celebrated discography. The tracks on this record were captured during a live performance in Kingston, Ontario which was being filmed as part of a video series, LEAHY: From the Inside, where the group shares an inside look at the creative process that brings their music to life. 

Featured live recording, “Roots,” is a powerful track that puts the spotlight on the group’s propensity to blend their roots and traditional Celtic music with modern instruments and sounds.  In this case, the edgy vibe is immediately charged by Xavier’s electric guitar and the tight combination of drums and bass (think Thin Lizzy), setting the stage for stellar twin-fiddle performances by Erin and up and coming talent Savannah Leahy (Xavier’s sister). 

The recording experience was very natural with a heightened level of energy. But the music was in its natural state...being played and shared live. More of a raw and spontaneous vibe that is hard to capture inside a studio. – Maria Leahy (Acoustic Guitar/Banjo/Mandolin)

#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE: Pennsylvanian Singer Collaboration between 'Taylor Swift' and 'Sabrina Carpenter' is in the works to make a remixed version of 'Espresso' at 'The Eras Tour', while rumors leaking the unreleased remixes and mash-ups on both sides

Originally published on October 28th, 2024 due to financial constraints.

LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- In a surprising moment during Night 2 of Taylor Alison Swift's "The Eras Tour" at the Caesars Superdome in 'New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America' (U.S.A.) on Saturday night (October 26, 2024 -- Louisiana local time), Taylor reportedly introduced overnight a surprising special guest 'Ms. Sabrina Annlynn Carpenter'. The two singers teamed up for a mash-up performance that included Sabrina's hit song "Espresso" and Taylor's "Is It Over Now?". New Orlean's audience of 65,000 was ecstatic, making the weekend nights even more memorable.

Before it gained fame with local Pennsylvanian singer duos, 'Taylor Alison Swift' lives in the Berks County when she started her music career in 2003 as a teenager. Her big break came in 2005 when she signed with 'Big Machine Records' and released her debut single "Tim McGraw" in late-mid June 2006. Taylor started as a country artist, but later switched to pop music with her album "1989" in late-October 2014. Currently, 'The Eras Tour' goes on full steam like a train, starting in late-March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona; and will go on until Sunday (December 8th, 2024), when it ends in Vancouver, Canada; which will be the final performance of this global concert tour.

'Sabrina Annlynn Carpenter', a local Pennsylvanian of Bucks County, got into the music business in mid-March 2014 with her debut single "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying" by 'Hollywood Records'. She rapidly became well known as 'Maya Hart' on the live-action Disney Channel series "Girl Meets World". Since that, she has put out several albums, the latest one being "Short n' Sweet" at the end of August 2024, and also previously "Eyes Wide Open" in mid-April 2015.

They are lived, and both from Pennsylvania state in America, and began their music careers, way over the middle of millennium years. 'Taylor Swift' started in 2003, while 'Sabrina Carpenter' started in 2014. They both became popular figures in the music industry, each with her own style and fan base. 'Taylor Swift' said that 'Sabrina' is the "pop princess of our dreams" and congratulated her for fitting in the surprise performance considering her busy tour schedule.

A surprising twist shook up the world when Taylor Swift recently gave an exclusive phone interview to 'OneNETnews', allowing Sabrina Annlynn Carpenter's song "Espresso" to be included in a mash-up during the show. The concert for 'The Eras Tour' in New Orleans recently kicks off at around 8pm (Louisiana local time), where you can enjoy live performances of your favorite 'Taylor Swift' songs in general. Sabrina would also be performing live, before the crowd at the Superdome.

A month before the concert, rumors surfaced about a suspected music leaker releasing an unreleased studio-quality mash-up track, featuring the examples of Sabrina Carpenter's Juno and Taylor Swift's Girl at Home. The legal topic brought up to music and label licensing, taking unauthorized use of copyrighted material seriously is something to look out for.

In Pennsylvania, copyright law violations can lead to major fines and possibly jail time, with penalties that can range from $750 to $30,000 (or PHP43,663 to PHP1,746,495). These laws protect the rights of song artists, and ensure they are fairly paid for their own work. Using copyrighted material without the proper licenses can result in legal issues and deadly harsh penalties, just like the suspected music leaker, which contradicts the idea of fair use. We reached out to two record label companies from both artists, but they did not heard it back in our response. We also cannot indepedently verify the authenticity of the mash-up or remixed song.

But anyway, this latest concert tour was very successful between fans, as they got so excited with 'Taylor' performing when she actually gave in, and letting Sabrina include her song into the performance. There is also hearsay that Taylor might release a new version of the remix of "Espresso" for Sabrina, much currently, they are negotiating terms with the companies that will deal with music and the license for this, which at the time of writing.

The surprise collaboration at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans was a major highlight of Night 2 of 'The Eras Tour'. The chemistry and talent of both artists were on full display, thrilling the audience. This performance not only delighted fans but also highlighted the importance of adhering to copyright laws and obtaining the necessary licenses for musical collaborations, which is essential for making new remixes and live mash-ups.

Pressing Play on "Big Ideas"

Remi Wolf’s second album, Big Ideas, hit listeners this summer! The singer’s second studio album is finally landing her on the public’s radar. I have been a big fan of Wolf for about two years now, with much of her music appearing on a variety of my playlists. After releasing her first single from the album, “Cinderella”, Remi Wolf finally began to appear in the mainstream media, as the great attention that “Cinderella” received, allowed her to appear on The Zane Lowe Show and most recently, NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts series. 

The indie pop artist’s unique style certainly makes her stand out amongst other artists. If I could describe Wolf’s musical style in just a few words, I would use the words camp and funky to describe her. While elements of mainstream pop music can be found in Wolf’s work, Wolf’s unique style has never been as prevalent as it is in Big Ideas. Despite many of Wolf’s lyrics being worded interestingly, to the point where they do not always make complete sense, they always somehow work with the general theme of the song and album they are a part of. Wolf seems to have changed her style slightly, as I find that the lyrics on Big Ideas seem to be more coherent and easier to understand. I think the differences in how her lyrics are written made a big impact on her most recent album’s performance, as it landed at the 95th spot on the US Billboard 200 charts. 

Some of my favorite songs from Big Ideas have to be “Cinderella”, “Pitiful”, and “Wave”. “Cinderella” is without a doubt, my absolute favorite song from this album. After it was first released as a single in the spring, I could not stop listening to it. Whenever I listen to “Cinderella”, I cannot help but want to stand up and dance. “Pitiful” and “Wave” both remind me of Remi Wolf’s first album, Juno, which is one of my favorite albums of all time. When I listen to these two songs, it is as if I am transported to when I first discovered Remi Wolf and her amazing music.

This album is perfect for fans of pop, indie, folk, and funk music. I rate this album a 7/10 as I honestly expected more from Remi Wolf. Her first album, Juno, is what first made me a fan of her music, and I could listen to every song from that album on repeat forever. Leading up to the release of Big Ideas, “Cinderella” was one of my most listened-to songs this summer, which gave me the impression that I would have a similar reaction to Big Ideas, much like the appreciation and admiration I have for Juno. While I am a fan of Big Ideas and many of the songs on this album, I do not like it as much as her previous work.

‘Dear Rita’ cast rehearse tribute to Rita MacNeil’s life

It's been 10 years since the passing of Rita MacNeil, but the music and memory of the iconic singer from Big Pond, N.S., lives on.

On Mother's Day, the cast of “Dear Rita” spent the day rehearsing songs and stories at one of MacNeil's favourite places to perform -- the Savoy Theatre.

“I think it’s entirely symbolic of Rita as a mother because she was such a hard worker, and so we're here on Mother's Day putting in the work just as she would do. She ran to music for her refuge and for her fulfillment,” said performer Catherine Woodford.

MacNeil died in 2013 following complications from surgery at the age of 68.

At the time of her death, she had reportedly been planning a series of concerts.

Now, a cast of six actors and performers have come together to pay tribute to Cape Breton's first lady of song.

“For us, it’s all rolled into one. It’s Mother's Day weekend to start, and telling the story about this tremendous mother figure who is also going to be having a heavenly birthday while we're actually doing the run, so it’s amazing,” said performer Ciarán MacGillivray.

MacNeil recorded more than 24 albums during her career and won her first of three Junos in 1987.

But the road to fame wasn't an easy one for MacNeil.

“I think that's one thing the crowds will really appreciate. There's a lot about her early life that comes out in Lindsey's script, both beautiful and painful and powerful,” said MacGillivray.

The curtain initially rose in Charlottetown before coming to Glace Bay. This is the second set of shows at the Savoy, and there have been rave reviews.

“Last May, when we had our opening night, people went crazy for the show. There were standing ovations and people cheering and standing in the middle of the first act for the songs,” said director Ron Jenkins.

The first of four shows will begin May 25 at the Savoy Theatre.
