‘Headphones on’ (neon, obviously—Addison Rae style), fingers flying on the mouse like you’re training for an Olympic CPS test—that’s probably been your week, scrambling to score tickets to the girlies. With one lone exception (a certain boy band holding it down for the men), it’s been a full-blown femme fest: starlets showing out, selling out, and already inspiring fans to show up dressed like glitter-drenched clones.

Jake & Shelby sound familiar? They should. The Nashville-based pop duo has likely graced your TikTok scroll at least once, or twice if you’re a “just checking my For You page real quick” kind of person. But even if you’re more of a “strictly following” lurker, chances are they’ve popped up on your fave’s feed doing something swoon-worthy.

Catch Jake Minch on an off-day and you might find his shaggy brown hair draped over his face as he hunches over a weathered sketchbook—one he’s carried since his teen years, as you’ll learn soon enough. But catch him on a superstar day—guitar in hand, analogies swirling like a paperback fever dream—and you’ll see him in his element. From the punchy grit of ‘handgun’ to the aching poetry of ‘Drawing a Tattoo,’ Jake is a rising force to watch.

Turns out our ‘Busy Woman’ really meant it. Sabrina Carpenter isn’t just five feet and in the middle of a globe-spanning tour (Short n’ Sweet, for those currently experiencing eras-induced whiplash), she’s also been pulling musical all-nighters. Why? Because she’s a singer. And apparently a prolific one — she’s whipped up a 12-track album titled Man’s Best Friend (nine of which are explicit enough to make your parents instinctively reach for the volume remote).

From rockstar SpongeBob to everyone’s favorite anxious Rugrat (yes, Chuckie), Joe Jonas is basically a walking Cartoon Network tribute. The man’s ink collection is a nostalgia-fueled fever dream. But you know what we haven’t spotted yet? A nod to his sophomore album, Music For People Who Believe In Love. (We think. Joe-girlies, feel free to drag us if he secretly has track seven tattooed across his ribcage.) With a body that’s halfway to a living coloring book, can you really blame us for wondering?

Scrapbook this: you, cocktail in hand that tastes like a tropical daydream, soaking in views so dreamy they could be postcards straight out of Bali, and—plot twist—you’re not spiraling into a Cher Horowitz-style meltdown in a sea of outfits. Nope, there’s no standing around your villa looking glamorously stressed because you’ve already nailed the wardrobe-to-playlist alignment like the sartorial genius you are. You’ve got looks queued up and matched to every beachy beat on your summer soundtrack.

With her signature ginger curls and smouldering vocals, Madison Watkins isn’t showing up to America’s talent shows anymore—she’s commandeering the piano and writing soul-stirring love letters to the Big Guy upstairs. Her five-track EP, Letting Go, is less a collection of songs and more a spiritual reset button. The lyrics might just pry open your death grip on control, and the rhythms? Let’s just say they’ll have you swaying like you caught the Holy Spirit… or at least a really good vibe.

What’s that sound? Oh, just the rhythmic clack of your keyboard as you type your favorite artist’s name into Twitter, chasing that grainy, shaky fan video from last night’s show—filmed by someone you kind of resent but also deeply admire because they were actually there. Yep, we know the feeling. And this week, it’s hitting even harder as more of our faves take to the stage.

Think “Vacation Manor,” and you might picture a countryside escape—cows, quilts, and a dozen sheep fighting for Wi-Fi. But if your ear’s tuned to the hum of indie rock’s best-kept secrets, you already know better. Since 2016, Nathan Towles and Cole Young have been spinning shimmer into sound, raising glasses (and catching stray toasts in the moonlight) with tracks like ‘A Toast and a Spirit,’ and hitting the road with Briston Maroney and Night Traveler.
