Troye Sivan was in “pure shock” after watching Timothée Chalamet impersonate him on Saturday Night Live.

The Australian pop star took to social media following the Nov. 11 episode of the NBC comedy series, during which the Wonka star hilariously portrayed Sivan as cast member Sarah Sherman’s sleep paralysis demon.

“WHY IS LIFE SO WEIRDDDDD RN LMAO IM DEAD,” Sivan captioned a snippet of the SNL skit on Instagram.

The Idol actor also shared several screenshots from the sketch on his Instagram Story, along with a snapshot of himself watching the comical segment on his laptop with the caption, “Pure Shock.” The singer liked it so much, he even changed his profile picture to an image of Chalamet portraying him.

During the five-minute sketch, Sherman plays a woman who complains to her doctor (portrayed by SNL‘s Bowen Yang) that she sees a mysterious figure in the room when she tries to sleep. Chalamet, who served as the evening’s host, then appears in the hospital room as a hallucination of Sivan from the artist’s “Got Me Started” music video, where he sports a tight white tank top and baggy blue pants.

“It’s just a guy, but like a gay guy,” Sherman describes, to which Chalamet’s Sivan replies, “No, not just any gay guy, homie. It’s me, Troye Sivan. Let’s go!”

After showing off his dance moves and slightly pulling down his pants, Chalamet’s Sivan reassures Sherman that he’s not a sleep demon. “No, not quite, girly. I’m an Australian YouTube twink-turned-indie pop star and model-turned-HBO actor Troye Sivan being played by an American actor who can’t do an Australian accent,” he says in his normal voice.

The doctor then reveals that Sherman is the fourth woman he’s treated who’s “suffering from Troye Sivan dancing as her sleep demon.” Sherman wonders if it’s a bad thing, asking, “Isn’t he kind of famous?” Bowen replies, “He’s gay famous. It’s different!”

The sketch ends with Sherman telling the physician that she’s starting to enjoy Sivan’s presence. “Oh no, I really wish you didn’t say that. If you invite him in, he starts to multiply,” he says. From there, Sivan manifests more versions in himself in the form of musical guest Boygenius‘ Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker.

“Hey homie, thanks for inviting us,” Bridgers’ Sivan says with a smile.

Lana Del Rey checked in from Nashville to share her reaction to the five nominations she received for the 2024 Grammy Awards. Although she’s been nominated for a six Grammys previously, she apparently only personally became aware of the process of submitting material for consideration this year.

“I woke up so surprised,” Del Rey said with a giggle in a black-and-white clip posted on Instagram Friday (Nov. 10). “Very excited about these Grammy nominations. Five!”

Del Rey is nominated for album of the year and best alternative album for Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd; song of the year and best alternative music performance for “A&W,” and best pop duo/group performance for “Candy Necklace” feat. Jon Batiste.

“And we’re singing on I think two of the other albums that are nominated, with Jon and Taylor,” she added, referencing her contributions to Jon Batiste‘s World Live Radio (“Life Lesson”) and Taylor Swift‘s Midnights (“Snow on the Beach”).

Plus, Jack Antonoff is nominated for producer of the year for his work on Del Rey’s Did You Know…, Swift’s Midnights, as well as The 1975‘s Being Funny in a Foreign Language.

Smiling in the Instagram clip, Del Rey said, “It’s just such a fun day. It’s really just about how excited everybody else is, and everybody calling, getting in touch and saying hi. All about the process and just one more exciting thing that’s happening.”

Adding that she was “genuinely touched” by the nominations and support on Friday, Del Rey said, “I in fact only learned this year that you have to submit your own album if you want to be nominated. Even that was out of my wheelhouse, but I did do that.”

Recording Academy members and record companies submit work released during the eligibility period that they believe is worthy of recognition by the Grammys; the submissions for the 2024 awards ceremony had to be released between Oct. 1, 2022 to Sept. 15, 2023. The Academy’s voting members then participate in the nominating process that determines finalists in each category, and later the final voting process that determines winners.

If Del Rey takes home an award at the 2024 ceremony, it will be her first Grammy win.

Del Rey was in Nashville hanging out with Beth and Luke Laird and Nikki Lane, and earlier this week appeared on The Ryman stage to sing backup for Lukas Nelson on “Find Yourself.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoyed a night out in Buenos Aires, Argentina, while the pop superstar continues the South American leg of her Eras Tour.

On Friday (Nov. 10), Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end were spotted on a dinner date at Argentinian steakhouse Elena, a restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel, according to People. The lovebirds were reportedly joined by Swift’s father, Scott Kingsley Swift.

The “Cruel Summer” singer and NFL star were caught on camera holding hands while entering the dining establishment, as seen in a fan-captured video on X (formerly Twitter). In another clip, the pair receives cheers from people in the background as they walk into the restaurant.

The timing of the Friday night date worked out well, as Swift was forced to postpone her second Eras show at Buenos Aires’ Estadio River Plate due to dangerous weather conditions and because Kelce’s football team is on their bye week.

Swift launched the international leg of her Eras Tour on Thursday (Nov. 9). During the show, she delivered her nightly two surprise songs. For her first concert in Buenos Aires, the “Maroon” singer offered up “The Very First Night,” followed by the Midnights deep cut “Labyrinth.”

“Uh oh, I’m falling in love/ Oh no, I’m falling in love again,” Swift smiled while singing the chorus of “Labyrinth,” prompting Swifties to flood X with speculation that she’s singing about Kelce.

“MY GIRL IS SMITTEN,” tweeted one fan. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TRAVIS KELCE.”

Kelce didn’t attend Swift’s first Buenos Aires show on Thursday, but he had good reason for missing the event. The Chiefs star was instead at teammate Patrick Mahomes’ fourth annual 15 and Mahomies Foundation Gala in Kansas City. Kelce was spotted in video from the event shared on the foundation’s Instagram Stories. In one clip, he stood up at his table and clapped in thanks to the cheers from attendees after he received recognition for becoming the team’s all-time leading receiver during a recent game against the Miami Dolphins.

“There’s a party going on here this morning,” a laughing Robert Glasper tells Billboard after learning about his nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards. Glasper received two nods this go-round — best R&B performance and best R&B song — both for the track “Back to Love,” featuring SiR and Alex Isley. 

To date, Glasper has won five Grammys and earned 12 nominations, claiming his first career Grammy for best R&B album for Black Radio back in 2012. But the artist/songwriter/producer/pianist says receiving a Grammy nomination never gets old.

“It feels new every time,” he explains, “no matter how many times I’ve won or been nominated. Because there are so many new artists and producers out here; so much music. So for me to get selected down to only five is always an honor and always, to be honest, kind of unexpected for me. When I say that, people always say what you do you mean?. But like I said there are so many great artists out here that I never take it for granted or never think I’ll be a shoo-in.”

The genesis of “Back to Love” stems from Glasper’s scoring of the Starz original series Run the World: Season 2. Last October, he got a call from the show’s team asking if he could pull off writing and recording a song needed for a specific scene in the season’s last episode. However, there was a catch: The deadline was under two weeks. But it also gave him the chance to work with SiR and Alex Isley, each of whom he’s worked with separately on other projects.

“I’ve always been a fan of SiR and Alex,” says Glasper. “They’re both so effortless in their writing with something original to say that it just made sense to call them. And they got it done so fast. They also have such unique voices. So the fact that we worked on this together means everything. It was just a match made in heaven.”

The artists/songwriters that Glasper is vying against in the best R&B performance and best R&B song categories include SZA, Halle Bailey, Chris Brown, Coco Jones and Victoria Monét. “Everyone in those categories is great. It’s always amazing to be mentioned in that kind of company,” says Glasper. That includes Brown, who earlier this year queried on social media “Who da f-k is this?” after his album Breezy (Deluxe) lost to Glasper’s Black Radio III for best R&B album at the 65th Grammy ceremony. Brown later apologized.

“As a talent, I hold Chris Brown in the highest regard,” notes Glasper. “He’s a great singer and performer. I’ve never had anything negative to say about Chris.”

Glasper’s across-the-aisle genre work with other nominees in the aforementioned categories, including Bailey and Jones, also symbolizes his own version of the six degrees of separation theory.

“I remember going to Chloe x Halle’s first major performance in Los Angeles,” shares Houston native Glasper. “I went to high school with Beyoncé as well as the A&R head at Parkwood. He asked me back then if I’d mind coming to their first show. So to see them [sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey] both blossom has been amazing to watch. I’m so proud of them.

“And that goes for Coco as well,” Glasper adds. He got the chance to work with Jones when he and Terrace Martin scored the first season of last year’s Bel-Air, the reimagined version of the popular ’90s series TheFresh Prince of Bel-Air. In the reboot, Jones played the character Hilary Banks. “I’ve been putting music to her talking for a long time,” says Glasper with another laugh.
