This week on Name 3 Songs…
Bebe Rexha and Ava Max suffer injuries after being assaulted on stage by adult men. Just two days after Bebe Rexha was hit with a flying phone and received stitches, Ava Max was slapped in the face while performing. We explore the shift in concert culture and fan expectations, including how fans engage with “accessible” pop stars. We also discuss issues of concert safety and what “threatening” fan behavior looks like coming from men with perceived credibility vs fangirls with perceived hysterics.
Kesha and Dr. Luke settled their court case that began in 2014, just one month prior to the trial. This comes after the New York Court of Appeals ruled that Dr. Luke is a “limited public figure”, subjecting Luke to a higher burden of proof in his defamation case against Kesha. The two shared an Instagram post with their statements on June 22 as part of their resolution to the lawsuit. We discuss why this is a win for Kesha by avoiding a trail that would likely have brought up past trauma and online vitriol for victims of abuse.
Fangirl news includes: Harry Styles flirting with fans on stage, Kourtney Kardashian announcing her pregnancy at Travis’s concert, kpop idols turning into fans at Bruno Mars’ concert, Tomorrow x Together’s collab with Jonas Brothers.
