Loren Gray unveiled her debut studio album Guilty on Friday (April 21) and to celebrate, the 21-year-old sat down with Billboard‘s Rania Aniftos to open up about her journey from social media star to pop star.

Gray released her album as an independent artist after leaving her deal with Virgin Records and Capitol Records. “Everything, for me, is backwards,” she explains. “Usually, you make the music, you grow the audience and it grows from there. For me, it’s like, ‘You have this audience. Now what do we do?’”

She continued, “I almost feel like everyone was afraid to touch my project. No one really wanted to develop an artist. The way I always looked at it was that my social media presence and everything I built there means nothing when it comes to my music, because music is a completely different audience and it should be treated that way.”

While she’s still so young, Gray often expresses her maturity online to her 54 million TikTok followers when discussing heavier topics like mental health and developing genuine friendships. “Through the years, because I grew up online, I got more and more comfortable sharing things that I was going through,” she reveals of her growth. “I started looking for that connection and that’s sort of what kept me passionate and interested. […] I keep a very small circle now, and everyone that’s in my life is like family and I trust them.”

Jake Gyllenhaal showed off his musical chops — and his affinity for accents — when he stopped by the Kelly Clarkson Show on Friday (April 21) and played a game of Sing That Name That Tune with the superstar singer.

The rules of the game, hosted by Matt Iseman, are simple. When Clarkson’s band begins playing a song, Gyllenhaal and Clarkson have to step up on a platform and sing along once they recognize the track. Whoever does it first wins a point.

However, the Nightcrawler actor wasn’t feeling too confident at first. “I just want to apologize to the left side of the audience before we begin,” he told the section of the crowd he’d be competing on behalf of.

“I have a feeling he’s slow playing you,” Iseman warned Clarkson, and he turned out to be right. Gyllenhaal won every round of the game, delivering performances of Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart” and The Proclaimers’ “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles),” complete with Southern and Irish accents, respectively.

The final round came in the form of The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” which Gyllenhaal and Clarkson performed flawlessly together — despite some lyrical mishaps.

“Who knew it could be this easy?” Gyllenhaal joked after winning the game. Watch it all go down below.
