Snapchat parent Snap Inc. made a flurry of announcements during its NewFronts presentation to advertisers, including team-ups with Issa Rae and Live Nation as well as the launch of an in-app sports channel.
At the event Wednesday night in New York, the company said it has also renewed its agreements with the NBA and WNBA and reached a deal with longtime partner NBCUniversal centered on the Paris Olympics. As part of the NBCU pact, Snap Stars like Livvy Dunne, Harry Jowsey, Kai Cenat, Duke Dennis and Enisa will be in Paris to offer their takes on the Games to Snapchat users.
Rae’s Ensemble, which launched recently with a focus on brands and the creator economy through a multicultural lens, is connecting with Snap’s 523 Program. The two will work on expanding Snap’s 523 creator accelerator program and making it available to creators from all minority ethnic groups as well as the LGBTQ+ community.

Galantis’ Christian Karlsson didn’t know that the “different wiring” in his brain had a name growing up. It wasn’t until he was an adult that he was diagnosed with Adhd and he finally was able to bring “clarity to the chaos.”
“My brain has the motor of a Ferrari and the brakes of a bicycle,” he tells Rolling Stone. “And the only way I had been able to sustain was by keeping it activated non-stop with music.”

Usually “American Song Contest” reveals the results of America’s votes from the previous week in the first few minutes of the following episode. However, because the hit reality TV show is airing its Season 1 finale on Monday, May 9, the normal process wouldn’t give the yet-to-be-announced finalists enough time to prepare for their last performances. That’s why, for the first time ever, NBC is changing up its results format. The second group of Semi-Finalists, who duked it out on the big stage on Monday night, will find out their fates on “E! Pop Daily” on Wednesday morning at 8:45 a.m. Pt. Updated: Here is the complete list:
“American Song Contest” finalists announcement:
Connecticut’s Michael Bolton (“Beautiful World”) — public vote
North Dakota’s Chloe Fredericks (“Can’t Make You Love Me”) — public vote

In the video above, watch Bolton sing a reprieve of “Beautiful World” in the “American Song Contest” semi-finals, which aired May 2 on NBC.
