We all know that rapper Stormzy (real name Michael Omari) has a talent for rhythm and poetry, but things got all too poetic on Friday (18 August) when the musician performed his gospel track “Blinded By Your Grace” to a crowd standing in torrential rain. The “Vossi Bop” star was headlining his co-curated bill for All Points East festival’s ‘This Is What You Mean Day’ event when the “spiritual” moment occurred, during the track which includes lyrics such as “I’m God’s son”, “what a God I serve” and – rather spookily – “and the rain was pouring”. And pour, it did. As Twitter/X user Sean Spooner put it, it was “absolutely pooooouring with rain” at “the second” Stormzy played the track to the 50,000 fans in attendance – something he said was “absolutely magical” and “one way to feel alive”. Others fortunate enough to make the event were in agreement, describing it as “magic”, “incredible” and a “beautiful experience”: The performance concluded the event in London’s Victoria Park, which also featured artists Kehlani, Sampha, Lucky Daye and Ms Banks. All Points East festival continues on Saturday with Field Day (featuring performances from Aphex Twin, Bonobo and SBTRKT), before The Strokes and Jungle make their way to the park next week. Stormzy himself acknowledged the special moment on Twitter/X on Saturday morning, when he simply tweeted “wow” along with happy tears, praying and heart emojis. Quite. Stormzy’s set from This Is What We Mean Day will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 10pm on Sunday. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Olivia Rodrigo recently dropped the music video for her second single 'bad idea, right?' from her sophomore album GUTS and fans couldn't help but notice some references from iconic TV shows and films. The pop-rock song is all about leaving your friends and lying to them about meeting up with an ex-boyfriend (always a bad idea), and the music video plays out this exact scenario where Olivia leaves a house party to reconnect with her ex - with some obstacles getting in the way. Here is a breakdown of all the different TV and films that were referenced: Glee Perhaps the clearest reference of them all was when Olivia was on the bus and ends getting a red slushie chucked on her, ruining her outfit. Anyone watching TV in the 2010s will know that's a shoutout to Glee where members of McKinley High's Glee Club would often receive a slushie to the face. We know Olivia is a fan of Glee and the show even got a mention in another song of hers 'Deja vu', from her previous album SOUR, where the lyrics go: "Watching reruns of Glee, being annoying singing in harmony..." Euphoria Euphoria is one of the biggest teen shows of recent years and so it's no surprise there was a reference in Roderigo's video in the form of the singer channelling Maddie (Alexa Demie) with her persistent knocking. While Maddie was knocking to go to the bathroom, Roderigo was knocking on her ex-boyfriend's front door. Empire Records (1995) and Can't Hardly Wait (1998) Olivia is known for her vintage fashion looks and her outfit in the music video took inspiration from a look Liv Tyler's character Corey Mason wore in the 1995 film Empire Records. The outfit that was referenced was a pale blue jumper but instead of the tartan skirt Liv wore in the film, Olivia wore a silver sequined skirt. Danielle Goldberg, a stylist on the music video revealed this in an Instagram Story where she posted a still from Olivia's video along with images from 90s movies such Can't Hardly Wait (1998) and Empire Records (1995) with the image of Tyler, calling it the “90s mood board of [her] dreams." Here is a still from Can't Hardly Wait (1998) where you can see the party scene inspo. Olivia's second album GUTS will be released next month on September 8. Have your say in our news democracy.

Blake Lively turned to Instagram with a stunning drinks campaign for Betty Buzz and took no time in teasing Ryan Reynolds in the process. Fans were in awe of Lively's posts, which saw her donning a red swimsuit for the shoot. One photo saw the actress taking a sip from her Lemon Lime flavoured beverage while jokingly sporting "your mom's 90s visor". Another post showed the actress by the pool drinking the Meyer Lemon fizzy drink, while the third upload revealed the "real crowd pleaser," in form of the Grapefruit flavour. The posts were soon flooded with compliments from fans and familiar faces, including Gigi Hadid, who commented: "Hotty mommyyyyyy." "Just here waiting for Ryan’s response," another person joked, while a third added: "FOREVER THE IT GIRL." Lively then went on to share a snap to her Instagram Story, where she poked fun at her husband Reynolds. "This is not a capture of a wild mating ritual (thought it could be). I legitimately chug @bettybuzz Meyer Lemon, all day. Every day. I am our number one customer." Blake then added: "I respect our customer's privacy so I won't reveal that @vancityreynolds is our number 2 customer." Lively previously opened up about the inspiration behind the alcohol version of the brand 'Betty Booze', writing: "Betty Booze comes from the lemonade recipe I made up 13 years ago for summer lemonade stands. Yeah. I still do lemonade stands. Yeah it was in my 20s that I really got into it. "The lemonade stand version is obviously alcohol free. And it sells out FAST. I would often have adults in my life request a version of my lemonade but with alcohol. It happened so much that that’s where the idea for @bettybooze was born."
