Big Red Machine’s new song “Renegade,” featuring Taylor Swift, has topped this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (July 2) on Billboard, choosing the upbeat collaboration between the indie-folk duo of The National’s Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon and the pop superstar as their favorite new music release of the past week.

“Renegade,” which will be featured on Big Red Machine’s upcoming album, brought in nearly 72% of the vote, beating out new music by jxdn (Tell Me About Tomorrow), Doja Cat (Planet Her – Deluxe), Imagine Dragons (“Wrecked”), and others.

This isn’t the first time the trio has teamed up. Dessner co-wrote and co-produced the bulk of Swift’s blockbuster 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore, and Vernon was featured on and co-wrote Folklore’s “Exile” and Evermore’s title track.

This time around, Swift joins Big Red Machine for one of three songs recently released from the band’s second full-length album, How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last? The set is scheduled for release on Aug. 27 through Jagjaguwar/37d03d.

Placing second on the past week’s tally with nearly 10% of the vote was jxdn’s debut album, Tell Me About Tomorrow. Produced by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, the former TikTok phenom’s new set delivers the hooks, angst and gleefully sneering charisma of jxdn’s early hits. Elsewhere, songs like “One Minute” recal the sugary highs of mid-period Blink-182 and “Wanna Be” smartly brings Machine Gun Kelly to the mosh pit.

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes appear to be spending their anniversary on a romantic getaway.

The couple, who celebrated two years together on Saturday (July 3), shared sweet messages and snapshots from the Carribean on Instagram.

“Happy 2 years my baby,” Mendes wrote to girlfriend Cabello, along with a heart emoji.

“happy anniversary Kuko,” Cabello said on her own post dedicated to her boyfriend. “here’s to more joy, more friendship, and more love.”

Cabello and Mendes, longtime friends who began dating in 2019, posted photos of themselves kissing, sharing a meal and being silly at the beach over the weekend.

They’ve opened up about their relationship in the past. In November, Cabello penned a message “about love with this guy” that read, “It’s not just the happy blissful moments you see in pictures and videos- When you’re in a relationship with someone, it feels like they are this mirror reflecting yourself back to you- I constantly have to confront my fears, my anxieties, my insecurities, my patterns of thinking, my beliefs about life and about myself.”

“It’s not as simple as it looks in pictures sometimes,” she continued at the time. “Sometimes, it’s messy and uncomfortable and ugly lol. But there’s nothing like the pull, the FORCE that is love, to be the light in the darkness- to be the gravitational pull that gives you the relentless strength to be braver,wiser, and better than you were yesterday.”

In addition to making great music, H.E.R. wants to be an active citizen who empowers young people with information.

The Grammy- and Oscar-winning recording artist gets to do both in the new animated Netflix series We the People.

Created by Chris Nee and produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, the 10-part series provides a range of civics lessons through three-minute music videos on topics that include the Bill of Rights, immigration and the courts. It features award-winning artists Lin-Manuel Miranda, Brandi Carlisle, Bebe Rexha and others.

H.E.R. took on the “Active Citizenship” episode, writing and performing the song “Change.” It deals with teaching young people to get involved with issues in the community by volunteering, writing letters to elected officials and peaceful protest.

The animated segment was directed by Oscar-winner Peter Ramsey, known for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

H.E.R. admits the idea to make music and educate seemed daunting at first.

“I was like thinking about all these topics and how can I make this, like, cool? And, you know, it just started off with just saying exactly what it is: ‘Wrote a letter to the mayor can you hear me out.’ Like how would we really have a conversation about this with somebody who doesn’t necessarily understand,” she said.

That made the process fun, while at the same time gratifying — she was educating the viewer with important information.

The 23-year-old believes the importance of the subject matter lies in the lack of understanding many citizens have when it comes to the rights and duties of citizenship.

“I feel like sometimes things aren’t taught on purpose,” the recording artist said.

H.E.R. cited the power of artists like Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye when it comes to writing music about social justice.

“[They] are saying things so simply. But we digested them, and we really thought about the way that we live our lives based on this music,” she said.

And it’s because music is a language that everyone understands.

“It’s something that makes us feel good, makes us want to fall in love and makes us sad or makes us learn. And so, what better way to teach, especially people at a young age or of all ages,” she said.

She hopes the collection of music videos in We the People will “share the knowledge, that hasn’t always been shared” when it comes to rights, privileges and responsibilities.

“It’s up to us to make these changes and to empower the youth. So, as we grow, as we learn, we teach. And in that, I think will make a huge difference,” she said.

We the People premieres Sunday (July 4) on Netflix.
