Congratulations to Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson, who celebrated their wedding on Valentine’s Day.
The Stranger Things actress, 27, and singer-songwriter, 35, exchanged vows in a surprise ceremony at St. George’s Episcopal Church in New York City on Saturday (Feb. 14).
The star-studded event included Maya’s famous parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, as well as her Stranger Things castmates Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery, according to People.
Hawke looked radiant in a classic white wedding gown paired with a feathery winter coat, while Hutson opted for a timeless black-and-white tuxedo.
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests celebrated at Manhattan’s The Players Members Club, Page Six reports.
Hawke and Hutson’s romance dates back to 2023, when they were spotted kissing in New York City. They made their red carpet debut at the opening night of the Broadway show John Proctor is the Villain at NYC’s Booth Theater in April 2025.
Hutson, who has released three albums co-produced by Phoebe Bridgers, confirmed his engagement to the Little Women star during a 2025 interview with SoCal Sound Session.
When the show’s host mentioned that he had worked on the track “Carousel Horses” (from his 2024 album Paradise Pop. 10) with Bridgers and his “fiancée” Maya, Hutson responded, “Yeah,” according to People.
The couple reportedly first met while making music together years ago. The New York musician opened for Bridgers on tour between 2022 and 2023, and appeared on Hawke’s 2024 album, Chaos Angel.
In February 2024, Hutson shared a Valentine’s Day Instagram post of himself cuddled up with the actress on the couch.
“the first song from maya’s new record, chaos angel, is out now,” he wrote in the caption. “i love this song. i love this record. can’t wait to share the rest of it.”
Over the years, Hawke and Hutson have collaborated on other musical projects, including her 2022 album, Moss.
“[Hutson] has been so encouraging to me as a musician, helping me to make the transition from being a poet in a band to sort of being a musician,” she toldVariety in June 2024.

J. Cole claims his seventh No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as his new studio album, The Fall-Off, opens atop the list dated Feb. 21. The set launches with 280,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending Feb. 12, according to Luminate. That marks the largest week for any R&B or hip-hop album in nearly a year, since Playboi Carti’s MUSIC opened at No. 1 with 298,000 (March 29, 2025-dated chart). (R&B/hip-hop and R&B albums are defined as those that have hit or are eligible for Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top R&B Albums charts, respectively.)

Will the Full Bad Bunny Halftime Show Chart on Its Own Next Week?
J. Cole previously hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with The Off-Season (2021), KOD (2018), 4 Your Eyez Only (2016), 2014 Forest Hills Drive (2014), Born Sinner (2013) and Cole World: The Sideline Story (2011).
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, two albums by Bad Bunny bound up the list following his Super Bowl LX halftime show (Feb. 8) — with 2025’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS posting its biggest week to date — while ATEEZ and Joji see their latest albums debut in the top five.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Feb. 21, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Feb. 18 (one day later than usual, due to the President’s Day holiday on Feb. 16). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of The Fall-Off’s 280,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week SEA units comprise 166,500 (equaling 169.5 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks; it debuts at No. 2 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 113,000 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 500.
Sales of the album were enhanced by its availability on vinyl (in only one variant), marking the first time a J. Cole album has been issued on vinyl concurrent with its release across digital and streaming platforms. About 71% (or 80,000) of The Fall-Off’s first-week sales were vinyl purchases. That’s J. Cole’s biggest week ever on vinyl, and the largest sales week for any R&B/hip-hop album on vinyl in a year. The last larger sales week for an R&B/hip-hop vinyl album was when Kendrick Lamar’s GNX was issued on vinyl for the first time, selling 87,000 copies (chart dated Feb. 22, 2025).
Bad Bunny rides his Super Bowl LX halftime show (Feb. 8) to big gains in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, as his former No. 1, and most recently released album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS holds at No. 2 with 250,000 equivalent album units — its best week ever, up 194% — while 2022’s chart-topping Un Verano Sin Ti jumps 16-6 with 81,000 (up 163%). It’s the first time Bad Bunny has placed two titles concurrently in the top 10.
DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’gain was also assisted by a new vinyl pressing that become widely available during the tracking week, helping the album’s sales for the week jump 732% to 61,000. On the streaming side, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS earned 186,000 in SEA units (equaling 195.31 million on-demand official streams of its songs; it returns to No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a fifth nonconsecutive week, with a 2-1 rise).
ATEEZ earn their eighth top 10-charted album on the Billboard 200 as GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4 bows at No. 3 with 200,000 equivalent album units earned — marking the act’s best week ever by units. Of that sum, traditional album sales comprise 195,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, with the act’s best sales week yet), SEA units comprise 5,000 (equaling 5.58 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s first-week sales got a boost from its availability across more than 25 physical variants (all containing collectible items such as photocards, posters and stickers, with some items randomized), including signed editions.
Don Toliver’s OCTANE falls 1-4 in its second week on the Billboard 200 with 97,000 equivalent album units earned (down 40%).
Joji captures his fourth top 10-charted project on the Billboard 200 as Piss In the Wind arrives at No. 5 with 86,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 45,000 (his best sales week; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 41,000 (equaling 42.17 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs, it debuts at No. 8 on Top Streaming Albums) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability in deluxe edition boxed sets (containing a piece of branded clothing and a CD) and more than 10 vinyl variants (including a signed edition).
Rounding out the rest of the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 are Morgan Wallen’s former leader I’m the Problem (3-7 with 77,000, down less than 1%); Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving (4-8 with 75,000, up 7%); Taylor Swift’s chart-topping The Life of a Showgirl (5-9 with 54,000, up 18%); and the former No. 1 KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack (6-10 with 42,000, down 2%).

A video has surfaced online showing a hilarious encounter between Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger and a fan.
In the brief clip (via Spin), the 51-year-old frontman of the Canadian rock band appears to be gambling in a casino when a female fan approaches him with an unwelcome request.
“Chad, can you sing for me one little time?” she asks. An annoyed-sounding Kroeger replies, “What?” before turning around and firing back, “Would you shut the f—k up?”
The fan then repeats the question, and the frontman hesitantly gives in, saying, “Yes, what?” as another person with him amusingly chuckles in the background.
She quickly follows up by asking Kroeger to sing a snippet of Nickelback’s hit song “Rockstar,” which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2007. The track is from the band’s 2005 album, All the Right Reasons.
Kroeger lifts his hand and half-heartedly sings the song’s opening lines, “I’m through with standing in line to clubs I’ll never get in/ It’s like the bottom of the ninth, and I’m never gonna win.”
After finishing, he puts his hand over the camera and with a subtle grin once again requests, “Would you f—k off?”
Nickelback recently teamed up with English rock band Don Broco on a new song, “Nightmare Tripping,” which serves as the title track of the latter’s recently announced album. The project is set for release on March 27 through Fearless Records.
Nickelback’s most recent studio album, Get Rollin’, was released in 2022 and reached No. 30 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Dressed in a lacy red ensemble, Cardi was straddling a chair and leaning back to engage with the crowd when she appeared to lose her balance and tumble onto the stage. Like a pro, she quickly recovered and continued thrusting her hips from the floor alongside her shirtless male dancers.
After finishing the performance, she stood up to a cheering crowd and joked, “That was the government!” while pointing back to the chair.
The jokes didn’t stop there. After the mishap went viral on social media, Cardi reposted the video on X and wrote the caption, “Can someone put a community note on this? This video is clearly AI.”

The following day, the United States Department of Homeland Security responded to the Grammy-winner on X. “As long as she doesn’t drug and rob our agents, we’ll consider that an improvement over her past behavior,” the DHS wrote.

Nearly a year after his unexpected dismissal from Foo Fighters, Josh Freese says he has “a lot to say” about the situation — but is choosing his words carefully.
In a new interview with Modern Drummer (via Louder Sound), the veteran percussionist addressed his May 2025 exit from the band, which came two years after he officially joined as their touring and recording drummer following the death of Taylor Hawkins in March 2022.
Freese’s tenure formally began in May 2023, after he appeared with the group at their London and Los Angeles tribute concerts for Hawkins. He went on to serve as drummer for the band’s 2023 album, But Here We Are.
In May 2025, Freese revealed that Foo Fighters had decided “to go in a different direction with their drummer,” adding at the time that “no reason was given” for the decision.
Now, he says he has his own thoughts about what happened but is hesitant to share them publicly.
“The Foo Fighters are such a big, mainstream band that everything I say gets taken out of context, reposted, and blown out of proportion,” Freese told Modern Drummer. “People created headlines from one quick, simple comment I made on a podcast not long ago, it’s crazy. I’ve got to be careful about what I say about it. But I’ve got a lot to say about it and I’ve been just trying to figure out how and when, to go about really articulating it.”
“I have a couple small theories [as to why I was let go],” he continued, “but I can’t really go into them right now. I did really enjoy the two years I spent with those guys however, and they were good to me… until they weren’t.”
Freese said his time in the band had been largely positive, describing Dave Grohl as a bandleader he “loved” working with.
“I enjoyed being around those guys,” he said. “They were generous and good to me… and that’s what makes the whole thing even more of a mystery. I think I’m a pretty good read on people, and I did not see that coming.
“One day it was nothing but laughs, we’re on stage and Dave’s looking at me every night like, ‘You’re killing it, dude!!!’ And then it was just – over.”
Freese also recalled the day he learned of his firing, saying he was spending time with members of A Perfect Circle and Primus when the news broke. “Everyone was in shock and asking me what the hell happened,” he said.
Following his departure, Foo Fighters announced Ilan Rubin as their new drummer, with Rubin appearing on the band’s single “Asking For A Friend.”
Despite the high-profile exit, Freese said he has quickly moved forward. He is currently performing again with Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle, in addition to working in the studio with artists including Danny Elfman and Billy Idol.
“Someone recently said to me, ‘Man, you’ve had a tough year.’ And I thought, Really?” Freese said. “So the Foo Fighters thing is over. Big deal, that was a blip. The fact that I’ve been touring with Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle again, playing some shows with Weezer, working in the studio with everyone from Danny Elfman to Billy Idol.
“I feel like I’m back where I belong,” he added. “Trust me… no one should feel sorry for me.”

Megan Thee Stallion is entering what she calls her “Lover Girl” era — and she says she didn’t plan it.
In a new exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the three-time Grammy winner reflected on her relationship with Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson and how focusing on her own healing helped open the door to love.
“Well, I don’t never want to tell [anybody] to just jump in a relationship just because everybody else got one, and I’m not going to tell you to just jump in a relationship because you have to,” the rapper said. “I didn’t even know I was going to be in my relationship, to be honest.”
Megan and Thompson made their red carpet debut in July 2025. But she says the relationship came at a time when she was prioritizing therapy and self-growth.
“I think that because finally I started being in a better mind space about myself and my life, and I had already been doing a lot of work to heal me,” she said. “I had been going to therapy, I had a bunch of activities that I started doing for myself; maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loved me right.”
Now, she says, she feels a level of ease she hasn’t experienced before.
“This is one of the first times that I’ve ever been just overly comfortable,” Megan said with a laugh: “I’m comfy, babe!”
Still, she cautions fans against chasing love.
“People got to stop trying to be in love and trying to chase love,” she said. “They just got to let it come to them. When it’s meant for you, it’s going to happen. God does not give you nothing that is not meant for you.”
The pair first sent fans into a frenzy in July 2025, when Megan posted a vacation IG photo featuring Klay Thompson in the background.
The Dallas Mavericks star also leaned into the rumors and soft-launched his relationship with the Houston rapper at the time, posting a photo dump of a trip to the Bahamas.

Ed Sheeran opened up about his long-running copyright lawsuit during the first of three Sydney shows, telling a crowd of 70,000 at Accor Stadium that being forced to hand over his devices in court unexpectedly led to one of his most personal songs.
The British singer-songwriter kicked off the Sydney leg of his Loop Tour on Friday (Feb. 14), performing hits including “Castle on the Hill,” “Shape of You” and “Perfect.” Midway through the set, Sheeran paused to address the $100 million copyright lawsuit filed in 2015 alleging that his 2014 single “Thinking Out Loud” copied elements of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.”
In 2023, after an eight-year legal battle, a New York jury found that Sheeran did not copy the 1973 classic. Speaking to the Sydney audience, Sheeran reflected on the toll of the case and the unusual position it put him in.
“In the last 10 years, if you have seen my name in the news it might be related to a lawsuit – a copyright lawsuit in 2015,” he said. “I got sued for a song by someone else that had said I had stolen their song, and the only thing I could do in that situation, because I hadn’t done it, was take it to court and prove that I hadn’t done it.”
As part of the legal process, Sheeran said he was required to hand over his electronic devices so investigators could review messages and files.
“All I’ll say is that I’m glad there’s nothing weird on them, you know,” he joked.
Sheeran told fans that he has not owned a mobile phone since the lawsuit was filed. He said he stopped using one during a 2015 Australian tour and later rediscovered the device when it was requested as evidence in court.
“I did a tour down here [in Australia] for Multiply in 2015 and I remember at the end of that tour, I switched that phone off and going, ‘I do not want to use a mobile phone again,’” he said. “I moved to email and I’ve used email since then.”
Powering the phone back on years later proved emotional.
“I opened it again for this lawsuit and I switched it on to go through the emails and text messages and that sort of stuff and it was like going through a time machine to right back to 2015. But not only back to 2015 but to 2007, when I started texting on this number,” he said.
“It proper like spun me out. I was like frozen in time,” he added, noting that he found old conversations with friends who had since died and with family members he had not spoken to in years.
The experience ultimately inspired “Old Phone,” a track from his 2025 album Play, which Sheeran performed for the stadium crowd.
“I find whenever anything negative happens in my life, I write a song about it and it somehow makes sense of that bad thing that’s happened. And it also works with something good that happens in my life – I write a song about it,” he told fans.
“Any song you hear of mine is basically like two-minute extremities. Either I feel a lot of this or I feel a lot of this … I find when the bad days happen, good songs come from it.”
Elsewhere in the show, Sheeran expressed his affection for Australian audiences, recalling that the country was one of the first outside the U.K. to embrace his music.
“This is why I love coming back to Australia. When I first came here when I was like 19 or 20, the crowds have always been nuts,” he said. “No matter the occasion, no matter the day, the crowd has always been nuts.”
Later in the show, he gushed about his love for Australia, sayign, “Sydney, it feels amazing to be back. If you haven’t lost your voice tomorrow, I haven’t done my job.
“Australia was the first place I had a hit outside of the UK … so I am super happy to start the tour here. It means a lot and I hope you know that.”
Sheeran is scheduled to perform two more Sydney dates before continuing the Australian run in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Timothy Very, the longtime drummer of Manchester Orchestra, has died. Bandmates Andy Hull, Robert McDowell and Andy Prince confirmed the news of Very’s death on Saturday (Feb. 14).
His cause of death has not been reported.
Very joined Manchester Orchestra for the group’s third full-length album, Simple Math, which was recorded in 2010 and released via Favorite Gentlemen in 2011, when it debuted in the top 10 on Billboard‘s Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts. He began touring with them starting that year.
“The entire Manchester Orchestra family has been devastated by the sudden passing of our brother, Timothy Very,” the band wrote in a statement on Instagram Saturday afternoon. “The most beloved human being any of us were lucky enough to know in this life. We’ve all been dreading sharing this news as we are all still in absolute disbelief.
“Tim was instantly likable and interacted with everyone he met with kindness and warmth. His laugh was infectious and he immediately made people feel invited and encouraged. His humor and energy were the very foundation that held together the entire MO universe. Strangers quickly became friends and friends became family.
“He had an undeniable light that was only matched by his dedication and love for the craft that he was clearly put on earth to do. No words can ever do him justice. Please know, if you are someone who loved Tim, he loved you too.
“The only thing that Tim loved more than creating music was being with his family. You’d be pressed to find a more joyful dad.
“We love you Tim, thank you for loving us. You are a force of positivity that will be a constant presence in the rest of our days,” Manchester Orchestra’s note said.
Very officially started working with the group — originally formed by frontman Andy Hull in the suburbs of Atlanta, Ga., in 2004 — upon former drummer Jeremiah Edmond’s departure in 2010.
Very’s first live performance with Manchester Orchestra was in Camden, London, in 2011 on the U.K. leg of the band’s tour in support of Simple Math. During an interview the following day with Alter the Press, he said, “I threw up during it. It’s been awesome. I can talk about it for hours, but I’ll just say this is what I’ve always wanted to do and these are guys I’ve known for a long time. It’s the best.”
He stayed with the band through the time of his death, appearing on the albums Cope/acoustic companion Hope (2014), A Black Mile to the Surface (2017) and The Million Masks of God (2021), and the EP The Valley of Vision (2023).
“I guess I would like to describe myself as a songwriter’s drummer,” Very said in an episode of the podcast Drummers on Drumming in 2022. “I’d like to think that after doing this for 20 years or so, whatever it’s been at this point, that I’m bringing something to the table that isn’t just drums and grooves and all that, but it’s understanding what a song should have, or could have in it, to hopefully enhance it or hopefully add something — a flavor, a feel to it … Leaving your mark on a song and feeling like, ‘Man, that’s better ’cause I played on it,’ that’s kind of what I’m always sort of circling around and hoping to reach: having an impact on a song that’s just that right thing.”
Very, whose father is also a drummer, began playing the drums himself as a teen, when a neighbor spotted one of his dad’s unused drum sets and asked why he wasn’t playing.
“My dad heard me banging on them and he came down and set ’em up the right way,” he recalled of that day. “That really kind of started the whole path. I wasn’t one of those guys that got to start playing when I was like six years old, got lessons out the gate. It took me a little while to kind of find my identity. I instantly knew that this was something I was going to be doing for a long time.”
Dave Grohl was a huge influence on Very’s drumming, he said, noting that it was Nirvana’s heyday in the ’90s when he started on the instrument. “I instantly jumped in and started trying to learn Nirvana songs, which I think is a killer place to start as a drummer because he [Grohl] writes attainable drum parts, but they’re the perfect parts for songs. It’s a great introduction on how, what I hope to do is service a song, kind of enhance it — he still gets to have his fun, but he’s doing the right thing for the song.”
“It sounds so trite when you’re young, when people are like, ‘Believe in your dreams!’ But some of that is true,” Very said more recently, in a podcast clip on how he got his start in music posted on Manchester Orchestra’s Patreon in July 2025. “If you like actually believe in yourself and are willing to just bite down on the dream and go like, man, I’m gonna hang in here. Whatever it is, whatever you’re doing out there — it doesn’t have to just be music — this can go across the board for anything. You can make it happen. It just won’t happen the way you thought it would.”

Harry Styles is reflecting on some of the lifestyle changes he’s embraced recently.
In a new interview with The Sunday Times Magazine, published Saturday (Feb. 14), the 32-year-old pop star opened up about his love for Italy, slowing down after a busy period, becoming an uncle, running a marathon, and more.

Harry Styles’ ‘Aperture’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
Nearly four years after his Grammy-winning third album, Harry’s House, Styles teased his return to music in early January. His fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, is set to arrive on March 6, followed by an extensive global residency tour. To build anticipation, the former One Direction member released the album’s first single, “Aperture,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early February.
Since wrapping up his Love on Tour in 2023, Styles has largely stayed out of the spotlight, occasionally appearing around the world to run major marathons or being spotted in Rome last May to witness the reveal of Pope Leo XIV.
After finishing the two-year trek in support of Harry’s House, “it was time for me to stop for a bit and pay some attention to other parts of my life,” Styles told The Sunday Times Magazine.
The “As It Was” singer noted that he spent the summer in Italy in 2024, describing it as a “transitional moment for me — to stop working and be settled somewhere for a while. I was settling into that life and a new space.”
Styles said his time in Rome taught him the importance of slowing down.
“Italy became so important to me because I was so used to everything moving so quickly and being on the go, but then I remember going to a café and sitting and having a coffee and thinking, ‘I don’t remember the last time I sat down and had a coffee — if I’ve ever sat down and just had a coffee,’” the musician said.
“I realized the pleasure in just being in the moment of what you’re doing. The Romans are the best at that — that’s their speciality. The pace they’ve taught me has been so special.”
Around the same time, Styles’ sister, Gemma, had a baby. “To be there to get to know my niece as she’s growing up, it’s so obvious to me what’s real,” he said. “It was really obvious that was where I wanted to be.”
Other changes the artist has made include distancing himself from social media. “I’ve made small changes, like not having Instagram on my phone any more,” Styles said. “I feel so much healthier in my relationship with this world that I’m stepping back into.”
Styles also touched on his love of running, which he started in his early twenties. As he approached 30, his desire to run a marathon grew stronger.
“As I was approaching my 30th birthday, I thought it was only going to get harder to start running again,” he said. “I knew I could approach it in a better way now. So it was healthy for me to have something as an outlet that gave me some structure in a moment where I was spending a lot of time by myself. It showed me that I could do difficult things by myself. Running wasn’t about being perfect, or the best, and it has been really rewarding.”
In March 2025, the pop star ran the Tokyo Marathon, finishing in the top fraction of runners, completing the 26.2-mile race in three hours and 24 minutes. He also completed the 2025 Berlin Marathon, running a time of 2 hours and 59 minutes under the pseudonym “Sted Sarandos.”
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally will mark Styles’ fourth solo album. It follows his 2017 self-titled debut, 2019’s Fine Line, and 2022’s Harry’s House, all of which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The latter also won album of the year at the Grammys and spawned the 15-week Billboard Hot 100-topping hit “As It Was.”

Adam Lambert is speaking out against the removal of the Pride flag at Stonewall National Monument in New York City.
In early January, the Trump administration replaced the rainbow-colored flag — a symbol of LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion — with an American flag at the National Park Service–run site in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.

“Stonewall is not just a park, it is sacred historical ground in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights,” Lambert, a founding partner of Pride Live and the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center (SNMVC), wrote on Instagram Thursday (Feb. 12).
The singer continued, “The Pride flag is not a political prop; it is a symbol of visibility, resilience, and the countless lives that have fought, and continue to fight, for dignity and equality. Removing it sends a message that our history and our humanity are negotiable. They are not. We were here. We are here. And we will continue to be.”
The Stonewall National Monument, located across the street from the Stonewall Inn — a historic bar known as the origin point of the LGBTQ rights movement — is a national civil rights landmark established in 2016 by President Barack Obama.
The Pride flag was taken down on Feb. 10 under new guidance from the Trump administration. Weeks earlier, the Department of the Interior had issued federal guidance prohibiting the display of “non-agency” flags in the National Park System.
On the same day Lambert shared his thoughts on social media, local elected officials raised the Pride flag once again at the Stonewall National Monument.
Lambert wasn’t the only artist to speak out against the Pride flag removal. Gracie Abrams also made her opinion clear by resharing comedian Benito Skinner’s post about it being “Demonic” on her Instagram Story on Feb. 10.
Recently elected NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement on X that he was “outraged” by the seizure of the flag.
New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history,” he wrote. “Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it.”
