Zach Bryan jumped from No. 9 to No. 1 on Billboard‘s Emerging Artists chart (dated May 7) to become the top emerging act in the U.S. for the first time, thanks to his lovestruck single, “Something in the Orange.”

If you need a guide to follow along with Zach Bryan’s “Something in the Orange,” find the lyrics below:

It’ll be fine by dusk light I’m telling you baby
These things eat at your bones and drive your young mind crazy
But when you place your head between my collar and jaw
I don’t know much but there’s no weight at all

And I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t
‘Cause if I say I miss you I know that you won’t
But I miss you in the mornings when I see the sun
Something in the orange tells me we’re not done

To you I’m just a man, to me you’re all I am
Where the hell am I ‘supposed to go?
I poisoned myself again
Something in the orange tells me you’re never coming home

I need to hear you say you’ve been waitin’ all night
There’s orange dancing in your eyes from bulb light
Your voice only trembles when you try to speak
Take me back to us dancing this wood used to creak

To you I’m just a man, to me you’re all I am
Where the hell am I ‘supposed to go?
I poisoned myself again
Something in the orange tells me you’re never coming home

To you I’m just a man, to me you’re all I am
Where the hell am I ‘supposed to go?
I poisoned myself again
Something in the orange tells me you’re never coming home

If you leave today I’ll just stare at the way
The orange touches all things around
Grass trees and dew, how I just hate you
Please turn those headlights around
Please turn those headlights around

Kim Kardashian shut down the Met Gala red carpet Monday (May 2) in one of Marilyn Monroe’s most iconic dresses, a gold beaded body hugger Monroe wore when she sexily sang happy birthday to President John F. Kennedy 60 years ago.

Kardashian had to lose 16 pounds to fit into the dress, designed by Jean Louis and purchased in 2016 by the Ripley’s Believe or Not! museum in Orlando, Florida, for a whopping $4.81 million.

“It was such a challenge,” she said. “I was determined to fit it.”

The dress originally cost $12,000. It was so tight Monroe had to be sewn into it when she purred “Happy birthday, Mr. president” on May 19, 1962, at a Madison Square Garden fundraiser. She died three months later. It has been known as the “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress ever since.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson at The 2022 Met Gala celebrating In America: An Anthology of Fashion held at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2, 2022 in New York City.

The celebration of American design was themed to gilded glamour, sprouting classic black tuxedoes for many of the men and lots of dresses in black and white for the women. Others paid literal homage to New York City and still more shimmered in metallic golds and silver.

It’s been just under eight months since the last gala, an annual fundraiser that raises eight-figure sums for the Met’s Costume Institute. Pre-pandemic, about 600 A-listers from fashion, sports, music, film, TV, technology and beyond were invited. This year and last, the numbers were closer to 400. The 2020 gala was canceled.

More than $16.4 million was raised last year. The starry event is the institute’s primary budget feeder.

This year’s gala coincides with the opening of the second part of a two-part exhibit at the Costume Institute focused on American fashion and style. The evening’s dress code is gilded glamour and white tie, a la the Gilded Age, that tumultuous period between the Civil War and the turn of the 20th century known for its robber barons, drama and grandeur.

Megan Thee Stallion accompanied Jeremy Scott to the 2022 Met Gala on Monday (May 2), where she painted the red carpet gold with her luxurious look.

The 27-year-old, Grammy winning rapper wore a golden cut-out Moschino gown, complete with a feather shawl, a sleek bun and a winged out black smokey eye.

Lin-Manuel MirandaRegina KingBlake Lively and Ryan Reynolds serve as co-chairs of this year’s event with the theme of “Gilded Glamour,” inspired by the turn-of-the-century Gilded Age in American history. The theme encourages today’s biggest stars to interpret late 19th-century clothing through a modern lens.

Olivia Rodrigo channeled her ethereal beauty at the 2022 Met Gala on Monday (May 2), when she walked the red carpet in a sparkling lavender Versace gown.

The look was complete with mesh lilac gloves, loose wavy hair with butterfly clips and a purple smokey eye.

“We were inspired by the opulence of the Gilded Age,” the Grammy winner told Vogue‘s livestream host Vanessa Hudgens. When Hudgens asked when the follow up to her smash debut album Sour will be arriving, Rodrigo replied, “I’m working on it right now. I’m constantly writing and I want to make sure it’s right. I’m excited for a new era.”

Nicki Minaj rocked a baseball cap at the 2022 Met Gala, but her look was anything but casual.

The rapper teamed up with designer Riccardo Tisci for the all-black Burberry look, which included a leather baseball cap/headband combo up top.

Minaj even insisted to Tisci that the hat needed to be part of the final look. “I love the hat,” she told La La Anthony after walking the red carpet. “I’m obsessed with the hat.”

The rest of the ensemble included a low-cut feathered bustier with a train paired with leather leggings and high-heeled boots. And to top it all off, celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath was behind all the hand-placed jewels on Minaj’s face, shoulders, arms and across her collarbone.

During Minaj’s livestream interview with La La, Spanish superstar Rosalía ran up to fawn over her friend: “I love you, Nicki!”

Stevie Wonder has received countless awards for both his music and his work in advancing social justice, but the one he is set to get from the Legal Defense Fund on May 10 is especially meaningful. Wonder will receive the inaugural Icon Award at the 34th National Equal Justice Awards Dinner on Tuesday, May 10, at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Wonder will be honored for “his steadfast work throughout his illustrious career, spanning over half a century, which embodies LDF’s values and demonstrates his commitment to confronting the barriers that face Black Americans and other marginalized communities,” according to a statement.

In addition, Nikole Hannah-Jones, journalist, professor, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The 1619 Project, will be recognized with the Spirit of Justice Award. Sherrilyn Ifill, LDF’s outgoing president and director-counsel, will be awarded the Thurgood Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award.

With a theme of “Truth Is Power,” the evening will feature video messages from former first lady Michelle Obama and civil rights activist and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. In addition, the Dance Theater of Harlem will present two performances.

LDF’s signature event is an opportunity to recognize and honor leaders in law, the arts, business, and philanthropy who have demonstrated a commitment to the promotion of racial justice and equality. The evening will also serve as an opportunity to celebrate the civil rights work that has been accomplished by LDF over the past year.

“Since the organization’s founding in 1940, the Legal Defense Fund has been an ardent defender of civil rights, advocating for the social, political, educational, and economic advancement of Black Americans,” Janai S. Nelson, LDF’s president and director-counsel, said in a statement.

“Our honorees have unapologetically used truth as power,” Nelson added. “They have refused to back down when others tried to silence them. And they have held their convictions fiercely and been unyielding to false narratives. Most importantly, they have used truth to shape outlooks, inform mindsets, and touch souls.”

Founded in 1940, the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) is the nation’s first civil and human rights law organization. LDF was founded under the leadership of Thurgood Marshall, who in 1967 became the first Black associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

LDF has been separate from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) since 1957—although LDF was originally founded by the NAACP and shares its commitment to equal rights.
