A new documentary puts Britney Spears back in the spotlight, but why can’t we just leave her be? This past week, the singer was in the spotlight again after the release of a New York Times documentary 'Framing Britney Spears.' The documentary, now streaming on Hulu, focuses on the conservatorship Spears has been under since 2008, as well as the efforts of the fan-generated #FreeBritney campaign to remove the legal constraints that still dictate the star’s finances, personal life and career. The film also explores Spears’ contentious relationship with the press, and the role the media played in perpetuating a story of the superstar singer as a damsel in distress, needing to be saved from the negative influences around her — and from herself.

Prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, have opened a criminal investigation into Trump’s January phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the New York Times first reported on Wednesday. During the call, the former president can be heard pressuring state officials to “find” enough votes to help him overturn his election loss to Joe Biden. According to the Times, District Attorney Fani Willis sent a letter to Raffensperger and other state officials, including the Republican Governor Brian Kemp, directing them to preserve documents related to “an investigation into attempts to influence the administration of the 2020 Georgia General Election.” Tap the link in bio to read more.
Black women make up the vanguard of popular music. Decades before Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion, and Janelle Monáe, that was already the case — a fact that's sometimes overlooked in standard histories of rock and its many related styles. In honor of Black History Month, we look back at some of the women who left their mark on the genre, from early blues pioneers to girl-group icons and punk upstarts. Swipe through and tap the link in our bio to read more about iconic black women who shaped rock & roll.

Hayley Williams has codified what a top-to-bottom quarantine album can sound like with her latest LP, Flowers for Vases / descansos, released this past Friday via Atlantic. It’s her second solo album outside of her long career as the lead singer for Paramore, and her second one in less than a year: She put out her debut, the eclectic and Bjork-inspired Petals for Armor, in three parts last spring. Unlike Petals, or any other album she’s been a part of, Williams recorded Flowers entirely on her own — singing all the harmonies, playing all the instruments — at her home in Nashville, seeking outside help only from producer Daniel James and engineer Carlos de la Garza.

Diana Ross on the cover of Rolling Stone, August 11, 1977. “Everybody, all women, all men, have a Dorothy, a youthful something inside them that’s searching for who they are. So to me, when she meets the Scarecrow and he’s looking to have some brains, everything she’s talking about is herself — she’s looking for her own brains and her own heart … and a lot of us, even today, we’re looking for that one person that’s gonna give us all the answers: the Wizard. The Wiz.” Tap the link in bio to revisit the cover story. Photo by Annie Leibovitz. Every Monday throughout Black History Month, we're sharing iconic covers from our archives. #RSBlackHistory
Sly and the Family Stone for Rolling Stone, March 19, 1970. “We just want to do the right things. Not for money... if it’s the money that will satisfy you more than not doing something you don’t want to do, then do it. But we will never sell out. For any reason. To death. Anything like that. Anything like that, man.” Tap the link in bio to revisit their cover story. Photo by Stephen Paley.
