Sienna Spiro is by now a name you’ve heard before. Whether you’ve seen her iconic holiday campaign with GAP, are a recent fan of her hit ‘Die On This Hill,’ or have been a long-time fan since ‘MAYBE,’ then you’re on the right wavelength. If there is one piece of advice you take from us this new year, it’s becoming a Sienna Spiro fan…like right now. Afterall, she’s going on tour, and you don’t want to miss out on seeing the show.
‘Die On This Hill’ (On The Tonight Show!)
Sienna Spiro recently hit the infamous stages of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, in which she sang her recent hit ‘Die On This Hill.’ If you’re anything like us lately, this song is all we can listen to. Those vocals? The songwriting? Hello, wake up honeybees! If watching this performance doesn’t instantly make you want to see Sienna perform live for yourself, then we aren’t doing our job properly.
‘Dream Police’ On COLORSxSTUDIOs
Ok, you might need a little more convincing. Our favorite Sienna Spiro song, ‘Dream Police,’ recently hit the COLORS stage, which, as you all know, is home to some of the most prolific live performances from our favorite artists, ever. Sienna is clearly not afraid of a microphone and a stage. Just give her three minutes and an empty room where her insane vocals can shine. And yes, we want to be in that audience.
The Visitor Tour
Sienna is taking ‘Die On This Hill’ along with her other hits (like ‘Dream Police,’ ‘MAYBE,’ and ‘You Stole The Show’) on the road this year. From Los Angeles to Washington D.C., London, and New York, she’s probably coming to a city near you, and now is the time to get tickets. We’ve already got our fangirl friend group gathered together for some of the shows, and we want to see you on the barricade next to us. Will you be a visitor to Sienna’s new tour?

We’ve got secrets. It’s time to admit that we are deeply in love with Gracie Abrams. Was that really a secret, though? Ever since Gracie dropped her latest project, The Secret Of Us, we’ve been hooked on songs like ‘Blowing Smoke’ and ‘Good Luck Charlie.’ The whole album is a musical masterpiece and our headphones have been working overtime lately.
If you’re a major Gracie fan and want to support her during the album release, here are six ultimate fangirl tips straight from the hive.
Record Store Selfie
If you’ve been following Gracie on Instagram, you would know that a new trend with the cover art is emerging. It’s simple! Head to your nearest local record shop and grab a copy of The Secret Of Us on vinyl. Then, hold it up to your face and get a friend to snap a photo! Gracie’s head on the cover art should be aligned with yours so that it looks like you have a mega-Gracie head. If your stores are anything like ours, then The Secret Of Us is probably already sold out, but the challenge to find it and get that selfie starts now. Happy hunting!
Dance To ‘Close To You’ Online
Another re-emerging digital trend that has come from the album release is Video Star. If you grew up in the 2000’s like us you definitely know what the Video Star app is. It was TikTok before TikTok even existed. Using fun colorful filters and video effects, you and your friends could create music videos to your favorite pop songs. The app has been gone for a while, but Gracie is bringing it back! To promote ‘Close To You’ she hopped on Video Star and made a fun music video with a friend. We challenge you to do the same!
i wrote Close To You seven years ago and we made a demo that i posted 20 seconds of and you somehow cared about it enough for us to revisit the song seven years later. Close To You was not initially a part of TSOU — it’s from a different time entirely, we had finished the whole record top to bottom, but i heard you loud and clear. consider this one a bonus track pre-deluxe?? with everyone getting their vinyls this week, i got impatient and wanted you all to have it early. or seven years late, actually. CLOSE TO YOU OUT EVERYWHERE THIS FRIDAY AND ONLY 17 DAYS UNTIL THE SECRET OF US 😭💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Take Gracie’s video as inspiration and get to dancing!

Lastly, we have to tell you to continue streaming The Secret Of Us. If there is one thing that you can do as a fan, it’s to stream your favorite songs day and night. Just keep it on a continuous loop! Whether you are listening on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or a CD we give you a high-five. Play the album in the car, at work, on your summer girls’ trip, and on your hot girl walks!
It’s Laufey’s world, and we’re all just living in it. Seriously, the Icelandic singer-songwriter is all we want to listen to, dance along to, and talk about. Currently on her sold-out The Goddess World Tour,which is about to hit London’s magical The Royal Albert Hall, attending her very first Met Gala, to playing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, there is so much to be proud of. Aside from bewitching us with her music, Laufey is teaching us important life lessons along the way, and we’re here to celebrate them.
“Keep on going with your silly dream”
The song ‘Letter to my 13-year-old self’ hits home with Lauvers because of its relatability and honesty. Particularly, the line, “Keep on going with your silly dream,” is a motto we wish everyone to hear at least once in their life, no matter how grand, small, or silly our dreams may feel. It’s also a message we live our lives by.
Plus, Laufey is a prime example of following your dreams. Notably, Laufeys’ dreams of becoming a singer led to her debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she performed a beautiful rendition of her latest single, ‘Goddess,’ which left us all in awe.
Jazz is truly timeless
Modern music is so progressive that many artists often feel like they need to fit popular or trending genres for recognition. Some even diverge, creating their own genre and pushing boundaries. But for Laufey, her passion lies with jazz. In the wise words of Laufey (well, her TikTok caption), “releasing jazz music in 2024 because why not!” Her success proves that jazz is not a dying genre. Having recently debuted on the Billboard Top 20 and winning her first Grammy, Laufey’s success and reach confirms that jazz will forever be timeless, even to the modern generation.
Embrace your true beauty
If 13-year-olds could see themselves now, what would they say? Laufey acknowledges the struggles of being a young woman in today’s overly influenced society in a way that makes everyone feel seen. In her song ‘Letter to my 13-year-old self’, she sings, “Don’t you worry ’bout your curly hair.” You’re probably wondering why we’ve brought this up … well, Laufey just walked her first Met Gala with her curly hair. We couldn’t be more proud and feel more inspired to embrace our natural beauty.
Behind the glamour, everyone is human, and everyone has the right to feel
It’s easy to look at celebrities and put them on pedestals as our society’s modern gods or goddesses. And Laufey acknowledges this in her song ‘Goddess.’ While singing to a past lover, she ultimately reminds us that we’re all human and we all feel. It’s an important self-reminder when we get caught up in the glitz and glamour. So remember, everyone has the right to feel, including you!
Laufey is a role model to so many, and her story is inspiring. What important life lessons have Laufey taught you? Let us know in the comments, or let’s talk Laufey on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
