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.

What you missed from Hollywood’s biggest night: The Oscars

By Ayla Peden | March 9, 2025

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.”

‘Nosferatu’: The much-needed revival of gothic horror

By Ayla Peden | January 31, 2025

With students returning to campus, one question is looming in the backs of everyone’s minds: How did you spend your Christmas day? Many will say, “spending time with family” or “nothing really; It was a normal day.” However, if you’re like me, you flocked to the theaters to watch Robert Eggers’ newest film, “Nosferatu.”

Timothée Chalamet delivers award-worthy performance in Bob Dylan biopic

By Stella Powers | January 30, 2025

If you grew up anything like I did, Bob Dylan was a household name. His albums would be constantly spinning on my dad’s record player, and “Maggie’s Farm” remains stuck in my head, even now. As I got older, I never sought out to listen to Dylan on my own time. There’s so much other music out there — it’s almost as if his discography had slipped my mind. However, seeing “A Complete Unknown,” the 2024 Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet, reminded me why I loved the musician in the first place, and revitalized my desire to listen to his music again as an adult.
