MUSICAL BEGINNINGS Born in Johnson County, Kansas, USA, Grace began singing and making up songs when she was just three years old. “I was basically singing stories, not literally writing songs” Grace explains. “I would make up a story in my head and sing it out loud. I was 11 when I wrote the first real song that I actually put on paper.” When she was 11 Grace also learnt to play the ukulele, an instrument that would later on help catapult her career. “A friend was staying with us and she had one. I just loved the sound and the way it looked. It felt good and I picked it up pretty fast.” But her mum wouldn’t buy her a ukulele because she thought it was just a phase,…

‘RARE’ IS A SPECIAL WORD FOR SELENA The word ‘rare’ means so much to Selena Gomez that not only does she have a song and an album called Rare, but she also has the word tattooed on the back of her neck. “The word has meant so much more to me than just a title of a song,” said the star. “We live in a time where everything is based on your looks and social media and there are so many different channels telling people what they should look like, and how they should do this, do that. I want to represent a person that is just saying, you are who you are; you’re unique and you’re rare.” We love this so much. Yay, Selena! SOPHIE HATED THE JONAS BROTHERS…

TIKTOK: 101  It’s not just the sound a clock makes. Here’s more info on how the app works. WHAT IS IT? TikTok is a social media game where people upload 15-second videos of themselves doing cool or funny things. You can add a song to your video, which is why some of the most popular videos are people doing mini dance routines, gymnastics or lip syncing and singing. You can also upload a video to tell a mini story, kinda like a very short vlog and link posts together to create a clip that’s a maximum of 60-seconds long. HOW TO USE IT If you’ve used some other social media before, TikTok should be a breeze. If not, you’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly! The videos are all…

SOCIAL CELEBS DUA LIPA Dua Lipa has one of the most incredible voices on the charts right now, and it may seem like she’s on top of the world. But, the Don’t Start Now songstress says that she’s just like the rest of us, and she only uses social media in small amounts. She tells, “Social media can be such an amazing tool, and it can be so fun to share things but at the same time it’s almost like a breeding ground for hate and anxiety. People feel like they can say things because they’re hiding behind a computer screen, and I think, for me, it’s important to use social media like bite sizes.” A very smart lady! dualipa @dualipa OMG!
