Pride month was chock full of Madonna, just the way we are sure her legion of LGBT fans would like it.

Topping the charts with her 14th studio album, ‘Madame X’ (released June 14), the Queen of Pop ended the month with a rocking performance during New York City’s Pride Island 2019 (June 30).

Lending a 20 minute set, the diva may have opened with her classic, dance floor groove ‘Vogue,’ but from there she rendered live performances of her politically charged tunes ‘God Control’ and ‘I Rise’ (both found on ‘Madame X’) and also a rare live performance of her equally political 2003 hit, ‘American Life.’

“Fifty years, people,” she said. “Fifty years of celebrating. Fifty years of revolution. Fifty years of freedom fighting. Fifty years of putting up with discrimination, hatred and indifference. Fifty years of blood, sweat and tears. Fifty years of not bowing down to fear. We have been on this journey together, and I am so proud and honored to share this historical evening with you.”

With a whopping 13 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Lil Nas X‘s ‘Old Town Road’ is unquestionably the year’s biggest hit.  Lauded for its experimental fusion of Country and Trap genres, the song’s also earned applause for being one of few hit, mainstream Rap numbers devoid of explicit references to sex, drugs, or violence.

Yet, after the 20-year-old took to Twitter on World Pride Day (June 30) to end speculation about his sexuality (click here to read more on that), congratulatory comments were rivaled only by ridicule from those who asserted the horse referred to in ‘Road’ was a metaphor for gay sex.

As the jokes continued, Nas took to Twitter to respond with a detailed explanation about the song’s inspiration.  See it inside:

With a 20+ year career that reads of dizzying highs (see:  Grammy win, millions of records sold, chart-topping hits, and more) and heavily documented personal lows, Brandy‘s unique tale in the music industry is one that knows few parallels.

This may be why the 40-year-old R&B icon feels there’s no more capable actress to portray her in her long-rumored biopic than herself.  Taking to our radio friends at WBLS 107.5 (New York) recently, the songstress – celebrating the critical acclaim of her recent release ‘Love Again’ with Daniel Caesar (click here to listen) – dropped by to dish on the creation of the tune, finishing up her long-awaited new solo album, and confirmed work on her own biopic.

Taylor Swift is in the middle of a media firestorm thanks to her lengthy Tumblr post that called out music industry executive Scooter Braun for purchasing her masters (click here to read) – a move that ultimately means she has no ownership of any of her own work that precedes content from her forthcoming album, ‘Lover’ (August 23).

Swift’s catalog – reportedly valued at over $300 million – has been the source of debate for most of the day (June 30) as fans, music industry analysts, and fellow celebs alike have weighed in on the matter.  While some have sided with the Grammy winner, as evidenced by the trending hashtag #WeStandWithTaylor, others have remained loyal to Braun and maintain he’s done nothing wrong (click here to read more).

Among those supporting Swift are Miley Cyrus, Halsey, and even her former nemesis, Katy Perry.  The latter was among many who took to the net to sign a Change.org petition that calls for Taylor to re-record her first six albums.  Details inside:
