Beyoncé brings out Miley Cyrus for II Most Wanted in Paris
Beyoncé hailed Miley Cyrus an "icon" before performing a surprise duet together in Paris. The Grammy winner had a special treat in store for fans attending her Cowboy Carter Tour concert at Stade de France on Thursday night (19.06.25), with Miley joining her to perform their collaboration II Most Wanted from Cowboy Carter. Before Miley shot up from under the stage, Beyoncé gushed: 'I'm so excited because I wanted to do something very special for you guys. 'I could not do it without this young lady's help, so I want you to scream as loud as you can. I wan't y'all for this icon. 'I'm your biggest fan. I'm so grateful to watch you, to sing with you, Miss Miley Cyrus.' It marked the first time the pair had performed the song together live. Miley penned the song and admitted it was a "dream come true" to record it with the Crazy in Love hitmaker. She told W Magazine: 'I wrote that song, like, two and a half years ago. My mom would always go, 'I love that song so much.' So when Beyoncé reached out to me about music, I thought of it right away because it really encompasses our relationship. 'I told [Beyoncé], 'We don't have to get country; we are country. We've been country.' I said, 'You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.' Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyoncé was a dream come true.'' The surprise duet comes after Miley released her latest project, the visual album Something Beautiful.

Sabrina Carpenter sparks fresh backlash for 'pretending to be a child' amid Lolita controversy: Fans say she's trying too hard
Sabrina Carpenter might be celebrating chart success, but her latest Instagram post has fans doing a serious double-take. The singer, who just hit No. 1 in both the US and UK with her single Manchild, posted a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos on Wednesday to mark the milestone. Still, one picture in particular is causing fresh waves of internet discourse. This comes right after her Lolita controversy, which has already sparked a wave of criticism against the rising pop star. Sabrina shares a new controversial image In the newly shared image, Sabrina is perched inside a shopping cart wearing a checkered crop top, short denim shorts, and fire-red heels, while an older man—suited in a leather jacket—leans beside her on a motorcycle. The whole scene reads like a quirky Americana fever dream, but given the timing, some aren't seeing it as innocent fun. With the Lolita-themed backlash still trailing her recent photoshoots and album art, fans online were quick to comment on the odd visual. The image was also shared on Reddit's r/popculturecirclejerk subreddit with the title 'Controversy queen strikes again' and the caption 'Amidst the Lolita controversy, Carpenter pretends to be a child shopping with her dad.' In the comments, Redditors largely agreed that the Please Please Please hitmaker might be trying a little too hard to spark a second wave of viral attention after last summer's breakout success. Some users felt that the photo leaned into controversy just for the sake of staying in the spotlight, calling it a bit forced compared to her earlier, more effortless pop stunts. One user wrote, "There comes a time in every starlet's career when you pull out the degraded film filters, rednecks, and cigarettes." Another mocked the 26-year-old, writing, "Someone who is a peak nepo baby from an old showbiz family, who was a child star under 10, because her Auntie is literally Bart Simpson (who was also a young star) – doing poor-core is wildly cringe." A third commented, "I preferred Into You by Ariana Grande music vid for my dirty motel pr*stitute and dirty biker drug dealer Americana vibe," while a fourth wrote, "women are not for sale." Sabrina denies any Lolita inspiration but the internet isn't convinced This all comes on the heels of controversy around a W Magazine shoot that featured Sabrina in a soaked yellow dress, an image nearly identical to scenes from the 1997 film Lolita. Fans were quick to make the connection online, but Sabrina decided to publicly hit back. 'I've never seen this movie,' she wrote in a public comment on TikTok. 'It's never been on my mood board and never would be.' Despite her clear denial, the conversation didn't die down. Instead, it spread into a wider debate about her current album visuals, which some have accused of pandering to the male gaze and leaning too hard into infantilised sexuality. Sabrina Carpenter shuts down claims that she was inspired by 'Lolita' for her W Magazine photoshoot:'i've never seen this movie. it's never been on my mood board and never would be' She's self-aware and unbothered, for the most part Sabrina isn't new to controversy, and she's shown she knows how to play with public perception. In recent interviews, she admitted she's aware of how her sexualised image is received and finds humour in the irony that people often criticise the same songs and visuals they helped make popular. When one user accused her of having no personality beyond sex, she clapped back, 'Girl, yes, and it is goooooood.' Meanwhile, she was recently slammed for controversial imagery for her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, for allegedly pandering to the 'male gaze'. Her new album drops on August 29, 2025.

Sabrina Carpenter takes savage swipe at fan comparing her 'oversexed' shoot with controversial Lolita film
Sabrina Carpenter is defending a photo from her September 2024 W magazine spread. This week the 26-year-old pop star — who has faced criticism since announcing her latest album, Man's Best Friend — shut down a fan who compared an image featured in the shoot to the controversial 1997 film Lolita. The movie, based on Vladimir Nabokov's book, follows a man's inappropriate infatuation with a teenage girl. It stars Jeremy Irons, Dominique Swain, Melanie Griffith and Frank Langella. TikTok user @arcafan999 re-shared a side-by-side comparison of two photos — one of Sabrina lying in grass under a sprinkler, and a movie still of Dominique doing the same thing — originally posted by The Pop Faction. The post was captioned, 'gross,' and the social media user asked in a video, 'What the eff is this?' Sabrina denied the Lolita inspiration, writing in the comments: 'i've never seen this movie. it's never been on my mood board and never would be.' However, the critic didn't back down and instead doubled down on the judgement. In a comment that has garnered nearly 9,000 likes, the person quoted a line from Carpenter's song Nonsense, which she tweaked for a Mexican audience while on tour, writing: '"fully grown but i look like a niña," [yeah] sure.' Per an account from Billboard, the complete lyric Sabrina used in the show was, 'I'm full grown but I look like a niña/ Come put something big in my casita/ Mexico, I think you are bonita!' For the cover of Rolling Ston e's July/August issue, the Bed Chem songstress went nude. She posed on her knees, dressed in nothing save for thigh-high white hosiery. Her famous platinum blonde extensions fell over her bare butt and down to her thighs in soft ringlets. Meanwhile, her dainty, manicured hands were crisscrossed over her chest to cover her modesty as she gazed up with her lips parted. The singer-songwriter has largely used her sex appeal to market her music and keep fans entertained tantalized. It's never been more evident than throughout her Short n' Sweet Tour, which kicked off last September and runs through this November. Audiences have come to expect simulated sex acts and cheekily engineered lyrics from the petite performer during the stage show. Footage from the set contain concertgoers reveling during these moments, but Sabrina has also received criticism for the NSFW display. Addressing the hate in her RS cover story, Carpenter noted that the sex-centric songs are the ones most beloved by fans. 'It's always so funny to me when people complain,' she said. 'They're like, "All she does is sing about this." But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it.' Referencing one song in particular, she added, 'It's in my show. There's so many more moments than the "Juno" positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can't control that. 'If you come to the show, you'll [also] hear the ballads, you'll hear the more introspective numbers.' The music artist reflected, 'I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I'm not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes.'
