Ariana Grande Leaves a Message for Her Haters in Her New Single, “Yes, And?”

 A deep dive into the lyrics of her latest pop anthem

With fame comes inevitable scrutiny over a celebrity's personal life, and that scrutiny only seems to intensify when the celebrity in question is a woman. It's a phenomenon that Ariana Grande seems to know all too well. But, her latest single brushes the rumor mill aside in an enthusiastic embrace of her “most authentic life.”

Today, Grande dropped “Yes, And?,” the lead single off of her forthcoming seventh studio album, Eternal Sunshine. The bouncy pop anthem is rife with lyrics that hit back at the public's interest in her private affairs.

Specifically, it seems to reference recent disapproval over her dating life. Last September, Grande filed for divorce from real estate agent Dalton Gomez after two years of marriage. Shortly after, news of Grande's romance with Wicked costar Ethan Slater emerged, drawing questions from fans who noted that Slater had been married to his high school sweetheart, Lilly Jay, and welcomed the arrival of their first child together just months prior.

Of course, Grande doesn't mention this gossip explicitly. Instead, she cheekily references the drama throughout, with a biting bridge that recites: “Don't comment on my body, do not reply / Your business is yours and mine is mine / Why do you care so much whose d*ck I ride?”

In the second verse, too, Grande flippantly dismisses the public's opinion of her: “Now, I'm so done with caring / What you think, no, I won't hide / Underneath your own projections / Or change my most authentic life.”

The delectably addictive chorus only cements this sentiment, with Grande inviting the cynics to “say that shit with your chest,” and reminding herself to “be your own fuckin' best friend” and “keep moving like, ‘What's next?’ / ‘Yes, and?’”

While the track's lyrics wink at the scrutiny, the “Yes, And?” music video more forcefully confronts her naysayers. The video opens with a montage of critics who have something to say about the inner workings of her life that they are most definitely not privy to: “Who cares if she's happy? I don't want happy, I want art,” “Oh my god, did she really do that?” “Well, I read it on the Internet, so it must be true.” But, in the end, these critics are the ones who are eating their words.

Read the full lyrics below.

In case you haven't noticed

Well, everybody's tired

And healin' from somebody

Or somethin' we don't see just right

Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin')

Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don't care what's on their mind)

And if you find yourself in a dark situation

Just turn on your light and be like

"Yes, and?"

Say that shit with your chest, and

Be your own fuckin' best friend

Say that shit with your chest

Keep moving like, "What's next?"

"Yes, and?"

Now, I'm so done with caring

What you think, no, I won't hide

Underneath your own projections

Or change my most authentic life

Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin')

Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don't care what's on their mind)

And if you find yourself in a dark situation

Just turn on your light and be like

"Yes, and?"

Say that shit with your chest, and

Be your own fuckin' best friend

Say that shit with your chest

Keep moving like, "What's next?"

"Yes, and?" (Yeah)

My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like

Protected, sexy, discerning with my time (My time)

Your energy is yours and mine is mine (It's mine, it's mine)

What's mine is mine

My face is sitting, I don't need no disguise (I don't need no disguise)

Don't comment on my body, do not reply

Your business is yours and mine is mine

Why do you care so much whose d*ck I ride?

Why?

"Yes, and?" (Yes, and?)

Say that shit with your chest, and (Say that shit with your chest)

Be your own fuckin' best friend (Oh, be your own, be your own)

Say that shit with your chest (Say that shit with your chest, baby)

Keep moving like, "What's next?"

"Yes, and?"

"Yes, and?"

Say that shit with your chest, and

Be your own fuckin' best (Be your own) friend

Say that shit with your chest

Keep moving like, "What's next?"

"Yes, and?" (Yeah)

Bradley Beal had a season-high 37 points, including eight 3-pointers, Devin Booker added 31 and the Phoenix Suns routed the Los Angeles Lakers 127-109 on Thursday night.

Kevin Durant added 18 points for the Suns, who broke a five-game losing streak to the Lakers. It was also Frank Vogel's first victory over his former team. Vogel coached the Lakers for three seasons, including 2020 when they won the NBA title in the Walt Disney World bubble.

D’Angelo Russell had 19 points off the bench as the Lakers fell to 5-11 since winning the NBA In-Season Tournament last month. Los Angeles had seven players score in double figures but committed 17 turnovers that led to 28 Phoenix points.

Beal scored 20 points in the third quarter and the Suns' largest lead was 32 early in the fourth. He was one off tying the Suns’ single-game record for 3-pointers shared by six players.

LeBron James had 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting along with nine assists and five rebounds. Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves scored 13 points apiece. All three players did not see action during the fourth quarter as the Lakers trailed by 27 after three.

The Lakers had won two in a row but fell back below .500 at 19-20.

Cam Reddish was in the starting lineup but did not play in the second half due to knee soreness.

Get today's sports news out of Los Angeles. Here's the latest on the Dodgers, Lakers, Angels, Kings, Galaxy, LAFC, USC, UCLA and more LA teams.

It was Booker's 10th 30-point game this season. He had 16 points in the first quarter as the Suns had an 11-point advantage.

A fadeway by James gave the Lakers a 7-6 lead before the Suns grabbed control. Booker's 19-foot jumper started an 11-2 run that put Phoenix up by eight less than four minutes into the game.

Another jumper by Booker gave the Suns a 32-15 advantage with two minutes remaining in the first quarter before the Lakers made a late spurt to get within 36-25 at the end of the period.

Los Angeles kept whittling away at the start of the second quarter. Jerod Vanderbilt's 3-pointer cut it to 40-34 but that would be the closest they would get the rest of the way as Phoenix countered with seven straight points as part of a 10-2 run.

Josh Okogie finished off the spurt with a driving dunk while being fouled by Jaxson Hayes. Okogie finished the three-point play with a free throw to make it 50-36 with 7:44 remaining in the first half.

Kali Uchis Is Pregnant, Expecting Her First Child With Don Toliver

By  Heran Mamo, Anna Chan

Congratulations are in order for Kali Uchis and Don Toliver, who are expecting their first child together. The pair shared the joyous news in a joint Instagram post on Thursday (Jan. 11), with a video featuring clips of the couple showing off her bump, the rapper rubbing and kissing on her belly, and the couple dancing together, interspersed with videos of them as little children.

In one part, Uchis coos as Toliver plants big smooches on her bump, “Awww, look how much your daddy loves you, little pooks! He’ll love you forever!”

“Starting our family,” the couple captioned the visual. “don’t take too long to get here little pooks, mom & dad can’t wait to share our life with you.” They did not share when their little one is due to arrive.

The happy news comes just a day before Uchis is scheduled to release her second Spanish-language album Orquideas. The visual is from the music video for “Tu Corazon es Mio” off her upcoming fourth LP, which will also feature Karol G, Peso Pluma, Rauw Alejandro and more.

Toliver confirmed Uchis was his girlfriend in a 2021 interview with W Magazine. “We’re not crazy public or nothing like that. We just vibe,” he said at the time. The two traveled to Uchis’ Colombian motherland to shoot a pair of music videos for the first two singles of Toliver’s 2021 sophomore album Life of a DON — “What You Need” and “Drugs N Hella Melodies,” featuring Uchis — and he met some of her local family. “I already had it in my mind to go out there and shoot a video with her incorporated into it, to make it a real-deal situation,” he said. During his interview with Nardwuar in March, he gushed about his girl, saying, “She’s amazing. I love her artistry! Her artistry is beyond.”

Uchis brought out Toliver during her 2023 Coachella set to perform “Fantasy” from her third album Red Moon in Venus that she released in March. The couple have also collaborated on “4 Me” from his third album Love Sick that he released this past February.

Bill Belichick leaving Patriots after 24 seasons, six titles

Bill Belichick will no longer serve as New England Patriots coach after a remarkable 24 seasons, saying Thursday that "we're going to move on" while also looking back fondly at his unmatched run in NFL history that included six Super Bowl titles.

Belichick and Patriots owner Robert Kraft spent a good part of this week periodically meeting and discussing how each side wanted to proceed. From sources familiar with those conversations, there was said to be no conflict, no disagreement, and in the end, productive talks resulted in a mutual decision that left both sides comfortable and at ease.

During a news conference Thursday, Kraft called Belichick the greatest coach of all time who deserved to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

"This is a move that we mutually agreed that is needed at this time," Kraft said. "What Bill accomplished, in my opinion, will never be duplicated."

Belichick, who said he will "always be a Patriot," thanked Kraft and his family for the opportunity and support, saying: "We had a vision of building a championship football team that has exceeded my wildest dreams and expectations. I'm very proud of that. I'll always have those great memories, will carry those with me the rest of my life."

Belichick, who had one year remaining on his contract, will be allowed to leave the team without the Patriots seeking compensation. He wants to continue coaching and is expected to draw interest from at least some of the other seven NFL teams that have head-coaching vacancies, including quite possibly the Atlanta Falcons, league sources said.

"It'll be difficult to see him in a cutoff hoodie on the sideline, but I'll always wish him continued success, except when it's against the beloved Patriots," Kraft said.

The Patriots now will embark on their first head-coaching search in a quarter century. Patriots linebackers coach Jerod Mayo, whom the team signed to a contract extension in the offseason and Kraft has identified as a rising head-coaching candidate, projects to be a, if not the, leading candidate for the job, sources said. Mayo played for the Patriots from 2008 to 2015 and has been an assistant under Belichick since 2019.

If Mayo is ultimately the choice, and the Patriots established a succession plan in the contract he signed last offseason, the organization could hire him at any point without going through the standard NFL hiring process.

Kraft said in a second news conference Thursday that he chose not to try to trade Belichick, saying he "didn't think it was right" to turn the coach's departure into a transaction and comparing the circumstances to Tom Brady leaving for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

"We're looking for someone who can help us get back to the playoffs and win," Kraft said.

Brady posted about Belichick's departure on Instagram, calling him "the best coach in the history of the NFL."

"We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate," Brady wrote. "He worked every day to help us achieve the ultimate goal, in the ultimate team sport. ... I could never have been the player I was without you Coach Belichick. I am forever grateful. And I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose next."

Belichick's exit from New England occurred less than 24 hours after his close friend Nick Saban retired from Alabama.

There is a symmetry and a similarity in the departures of two football legends -- men who are widely considered the greatest coach in professional history and the greatest coach in college football history. Belichick helped lead the Patriots to nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl titles; Saban led Alabama to nine SEC titles and six national championships.

Additionally, Saban succeeded Pete Carroll as the Ohio State secondary coach in 1980; when Belichick was head coach in Cleveland, he worked with Saban from 1991 to 1994; and Belichick replaced Carroll as the Patriots' head coach in 2000, decades before all three vacated their long-standing jobs this week in a 24-hour period.

The fact that Belichick and Kraft are going their own ways carries an element of sadness, but not surprise. Kraft had pointed out how important it was for the Patriots to make the playoffs this season. Instead, they were one of the first teams eliminated, on Dec. 10.

Speculation about Belichick's future swirled during the 2023 season, with one of the lowest points for the team coming Nov. 12 in a 10-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Frankfurt, Germany.

Before that game, addressing this past season, the 82-year-old Kraft told NFL Network: "It's really been disappointing. I had hoped things would be a lot better, as I know our fan base did. ... This isn't what we were expecting to happen this year."

Another key factor for Kraft was the franchise's trajectory since Brady's departure as a free agent after the 2019 season. Since losing Brady, which pained Kraft, the Patriots have posted losing records in three of their four seasons, and their last playoff win was a 13-3 triumph over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Feb. 3, 2019 -- when Brady was on the team.

Belichick, 71, leaves New England with 333 career victories (including playoffs), ranking second all time behind Don Shula and his 347. Belichick, George Halas and Curly Lambeau are the only NFL coaches with six championships since the league began postseason play in 1933.

Belichick's 24-year tenure was the fifth-longest of any head coach with one team. He had completed his 49th consecutive NFL season in 2023, the most consecutive coaching seasons in league history.

He is now looking to spend season No. 50 with another NFL franchise.

Kraft called it an "emotional day" for the organization while explaining why he believed it was the right decision.

"Our family is the custodian of this asset, the New England Patriots, and we know how important it is to the psyche of the community," Kraft said. "What's gone on here the last three to four years isn't what we want, so we have a responsibility to do what we can to fix it to the best of our ability."

As he departs New England, Belichick's résumé includes these marks that are expected to stand for the foreseeable future:

• 17 division titles, the most by a head coach in NFL history, with Shula, Andy Reid and Tom Landry tied for second with 13.

• Nine conference championships, the most by a head coach in the Super Bowl era.

• 12 Super Bowl appearances (including his time as an assistant).

• 21 winning seasons as a head coach, which trails only Halas (40), Shula (33), Lambeau (33) and Landry (29).

• One of four undefeated and untied regular seasons in NFL history (2007). It was the only one under the 16-game schedule played from 1978 to 2020.

"Players win games in the NFL," Belichick said. "I've been very, very fortunate to coach some of the greatest players to ever play the game."

Michael Strahan reveals his daughter's cancer diagnosis on 'Good Morning America'

Good Morning America anchor and former NFL player Michael Strahan revealed on Thursday's show that his teenage daughter was recently diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer.

"I'm very proud of her and she's always been strong and this is something that is so personal that I didn't know if it would be something that she'd want to share," Strahan said.

But Isabella Strahan, a 19-year-old student at the University of Southern California, decided to tell her own story to GMA's Robin Roberts.

Isabella said in September, she began experiencing extreme headaches, as well as nausea and an inability to walk straight. At first, she thought she had vertigo. But in late October, she began vomiting blood. She texted her twin sister Sophia, who informed the rest of the family. Michael Strahan then took her to the doctor.

Isabella's MRI results showed a fast-growing, four centimeter brain tumor that was larger than a golf ball. She had an emergency surgery to have the tumor removed the next day, Roberts said.

But Isabella recently rang the bell, a celebratory tradition for cancer patients who complete their radiation or chemotherapy treatment. Isabella had 30 sessions of radiation and will begin chemotherapy at Duke University in February, she said.

Isabella was in rehabilitation for a month and had to learn to walk again. Now, she says she's feeling good.

"I'm very excited for this whole process to wrap, but you just have to keep living every day, I think, through the whole thing," she said.

She has started a YouTube channel to document her journey through vlogs, or video blogs. Proceeds from the content will go to Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center.

"It's been like two months of keeping it quiet, which is definitely difficult," Isabell said.

She said she wants to be "a voice and be a person people who maybe are going through chemotherapy or radiation can look at and find something interesting about their day."

Michael Strahan said the experience has changed his perspective about his own life, and has highlighted the importance of support.

"Perspective is a big thing," Isabella said. "I'm grateful just to walk or see friends or do something, cause when you can't do something, it really impacts you."

Michael Strahan said: "I literally think that, in a lot of ways, I'm the luckiest man in the world because I got an amazing daughter, and I know she's going through it, but I know that we're never given more than we can handle, and that she is gonna crush this." He added: "I need her. I don't know what I would do without her."

For now, Isabella said she is looking forward to getting back to California and continuing her college education.

Group D

Two 2021 Nitto ATP Finals competitors lead the way in Group D, with Stefanos Tsitsipas topping Greece's lineup and Hubert Hurkacz playing No. 1 singles for Poland. The two countries will face each other on the evening of 1 January inside Qudos Bank Arena.

Hanteo Music Awards 2021 (Info Dates, nominees, winners and about 1st K-pop chart awards)

More Articles - 36th Golden Disc Awards (GDA) 2022 | Info Performer Lineup, Nomination List & Link Streaming

The award season in the West, as well as in the East, is in full swing. And South Korea is pretty much dominating them. It was previously announced that the critically acclaimed Netflix K-drama 'Squid Game' had been nominated at the Critics’ Choice Awards and at the Golden Globes 2022. We also have the likes of global K-pop group BTS sweeping the awards at MTV EMAs, AMAs and at huge K-pop award shows like MAMA 2021, MMA and AAA. And now we have the first award show from South Korea’s Hanteo Chart.

Hanteo Chart is one of the major music charts that look at album sales and digital streams of releases in South Korea. They were the world’s first real-time music chart and South Korea’s first music chart. They also award album sales certifications to those releases that cross certain milestones like 500k sales or 1 million sales. Topping their charts is also considered as a criterion for winning awards at several K-pop award shows. Their success on the charts also reflects the artists’ success in their own country as Hanteo looks at domestic sales. Well, it looks like they will be using their own data to now honor K-pop artists at the very first edition of Hanteo Music Awards.
