SHAWN MENDES AND TAINY SHINE LIKE THE SUN AT THE VMAS





Hot Girl Summer, meet "Summer of Love."

Pop singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes and electronic producer-songwriter Tainy performed their sun-soaked hit single at the 2021 Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 12), and they brought the warmth. The set opened with Mendes crooning to the crowd in billowing trousers and a loose-knit striped sweater.

Midway through, the stage turned red, and blue lights shone brightly on Mendes and Tainy, who was playing the keys. The lighting became more and more colorful throughout their set until the entire stage resembled a neon-hued sunset. Oh, summer... we miss you already.

Both Mendes and Tainy were up for VMAs this year: Mendes for Best Pop for his hit single "Wonder," and Tainy for Best Latin for "Una Dia (One Day)," his collab with rapper J. Balvin and Future Nostalgia diva Dua Lipa.

Mendes and Tainy's rendition of "Summer of Love" was their first VMAs performance as a duo, but Mendes has already commanded the VMAs stage three times. Most recently, the Canadian-born artist dialed up the heat in 2019 with a sensual performance of "Senõrita" alongside his girlfriend and collaborator, Camila Cabello. (Cinderella fans, you're in luck: Cabello also graced the stage at the 2021 VMAs!)

9/11

  9/11’s Immigration Legacy By  JULIETA MARTINELLI , ALEJANDRA SALAZAR and  VICTORIA ESTRADA   SEP 10, 2021   HISTORY   IMMIGRATION   NEWS   PODCASTS   POLITICS September 11, 2001 was a paradigm shift. It is considered the deadliest terrorist attack in world history: nearly 3,000 people died and thousands more sustained lifelong injuries, depression, and PTSD. After the World Trade Center fell, a traumatized nation lived in terror of another attack, and amid the chaos, the United States set out to prioritize national safety above all. The 24-hour news cycle of the attacks focused endlessly on the identity of the terrorists: non-citizens who had been able to exploit “vulnerabilities” in the immigration system. In the eyes of the United States, “national safety” required an urgent revamp of the system—and the public agreed. People were willing to grant full control to government agencies under the guise that they’d keep Americans...

  Cryptocurrencies Bitcoin Falls to Lowest in Month as El Salvador Rollout Falters Bitcoin plunged as much as 17% to its lowest level in a month as El Salvador’s crypto rollout appeared to be faltering.  The largest cryptocurrency fell as low as $43,050 in New York Tuesday, tumbling more than 10% in the course of an hour, before recouping about half the losses. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index, which tracks some of the largest digital tokens, lost as much as 19% at one point.  “Mystery selloffs, or selloffs where a legitimate reason is only found a significant while later are much more common in crypto than in other asset classes,” said Stephane Ouellette, chief executive and co-founder of FRNT Financial. “The market remains far more opaque and global than most if not all other notable asset classes.” The swiftness of the plunge was likely accelerated as more than 336,000 traders had their accounts liquidated over the past 24 hours, equal to around $3.6 billion worth of ...

NFL

  Tom Brady, Buccaneers get 2021 NFL season off to a fiery start TAMPA -- On the night the Tampa Bay Buccaneers inflated two silver Lombardi Trophies, unveiled a video featuring pirate ships, swords, fire, and players in the midst of it all, and followed it with a video of those same players proclaiming how happy they are that fans are back, the NFL's season opener managed to reward fans -- all fans -- on their long-awaited return to football. The smoke, the raucousness, the flag-waving, the noise. The resilience. The relentlessness. All of it was back, a reminder of what millions of fans around the country had missed seeing in person last season, and a promise for what both the Bucs and Cowboys could deliver in the new one. It seemed entirely fitting that fans here screamed for the come-from-behind field goal, which was kicked with seven seconds remaining in the 31-29 thriller before it had even cleared the plane of the 5-yard line. Bucs fans had waited a long time -- through a pa...
