In the editor’s rotation: My public humiliation ritual

By Chloe Southard | March 16, 2025

This is my last playlist as culture editor. Don’t worry, my devoted handful of readers, I’m not going to leave you high and dry. The playlists will continue, but not from the culture editor. Think of it more as a grandmother of The Miami Student dropping in and telling you what she’s listening to. Now that I’ve prepared you for what’s to come, I’ve got a bit of a doozy this week. Lately, I’ve been listening to music that is embarrassing, to say the least. I’m going to be very vulnerable with you here, so please be nice to me.

Lady Gaga returns to dance pop with ‘MAYHEM,’ and suddenly everything feels like it’s going to be OK

By Chloe Southard | March 13, 2025

I have been a Lady Gaga stan since the ripe age of 7 years old. When I tell you that seeing the “Paparazzi” music video for the first time on MTV changed the trajectory of my entire life, I mean it. Gaga was my first favorite singer; she is the reason why I became so consumed by pop culture. And like any loyal Little Monster, I have been seated for every single thing Mother Monster has released. Even throughout her country era with “Joanne” and jazz era with “Cheek to Cheek,” I was there in the trenches, defending her artistic decisions.

The most talked-about moment had to be the number of Oscars “Anora” took home. For most of the ceremony, many films were tied for the most wins. However, by the end, “Anora” left with five awards in some of the biggest categories, including film editing, original screenplay, best directing, best actress and, most importantly, best picture.

'Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!'

By Stella Powers | March 1, 2025

It started out as a normal Wednesday — on Feb. 12, I woke up, went to my two classes, got coffee with my friend and went back to my apartment to take a nap before weekly The Miami Student production. Before I got the chance to go to sleep, my phone buzzed. I opened it to a notification from X (formerly known as Twitter) I never would have expected in a million years: “Saturday Night Live – SNL shared a photo.”

The largest crowd ever to gather in the Assembly Hall (over 11,000) witnessed the old and the new sounds of the popular Simon and Garfunkel guitar-vocal duo. Not shown in the picture is Paul Simon’s brother who appeared briefly on the stage in their “Hello, Love” which reminded many of the Everly Brothers
