Drake has kept the surprises coming all year long. Back in October, he released his eighth studio album For All The Dogs in the middle of the buzzy It’s All A Blur Tour. A month later, he dropped the extended version of For All The Dogs, called the Scary Hours Edition, which featured the instant fan-favorite “You Broke My Heart.” Today (December 20), Drizzy has shared the video for “You Broke My Heart,” and boy, is it… interesting?

The video begins with Drake having dinner with, for some reason, Morgan Wallen, as the two rant about their exes. After their meal, the two enter a car, which explodes shortly after.

The two women responsible for the musicians’ fiery incident — seemingly their exes, played by Grace Matthews and Taylor Morris — then appear on screen walking through the scene amid the wreckage, rapping and lip-syncing to the song’s lyrics for the rest of the clip. It’s not clear what pushed the ladies to blow up the car, but we can assume Wallen and Drake’s actions were less than favorable.

Early next year, Drake will embark on the It’s All A Blur: Big As The What? Tour with J. Cole at various North American venues.

You can see the video for “You Broke My Heart” above.

When the Lakers won the inaugural In-Season Tournament, there was a question of how the storied franchise would handle celebrating the accomplishment. After initial reports indicated they would not hang a banner, they reversed course (likely under pressure from Adam Silver and the NBA) and announced their plans to raise a banner that would have a different look from their championship banners — and noted they would hang just one, with space to add future years to it.

On Monday night, the banner officially went into the rafters in L.A. in a mild pregame celebration of the accomplishment, and unsurprisingly it drew mixed reviews. The Lakers have, rather famously, only hung banners for NBA championships, but the NBA Cup presented an interesting conundrum because it wasn’t just a conference or division title, it was an actual leaguewide title they won — just, not the big one. The black vertical banner was the compromise, but not everyone was thrilled with it.

Shaquille O’Neal is among those that isn’t a fan, as the former Laker great put three NBA championship banners in the rafters and refused to even acknowledge the IST banner’s existence, calling it an “ornament” and a “decoration” but not a banner. That had Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson in stitches, as they poked the bear further and further while Shaq tried to compare it to putting a ribbon on a coffee cup and calling it a Christmas tree. It’s no surprise Shaq is not in on raising banners for In-Season Tournament crowns, and he’ll defiantly refuse to even call it a banner because it’s not gold.

The Buffalo Trace Distillery produces some of the best and most beloved American whiskey in the whole damn game. Their brand names are almost instantly recognizable even if you’re only ~sorta~ into whiskey — Pappy Van Winkle, E.H. Taylor, Eagle Rare, and Blanton’s to name only a few.

When you get into the nitty-gritty of how BT whiskey is made, it’s a mix of science and following recipes to the letter blended with a little bit of magic from the exact spot a barrel rests and the abilities of the people putting juice in bottles. When talking about the “mash bill” (recipe) of whiskey, we’re talking about the former element — the science of it all. And with Buffalo Trace, that means a lot of different recipes to achieve a lot of different results.

Buffalo Trace Distillery uses four main mash bills for their whiskeys. But that’s only scratching the surface. Master Distiller Harlan Wheatley has been working for decades and experimenting with every type of whiskey mash bill that you can fathom … and some that you maybe can’t fathom. So technically, Buffalo Trace uses dozens and dozens of mash bills over time — but only four for the lion’s share of their brand’s expressions (with plenty of exceptions).

To sort it all out for you, I’m breaking down what I know after many distillery visits spanning the past decade. I’ve had the pleasure of tasting and touring with Harlan Wheatley and Kentucky whiskey legend Freddy Johnson several times (I’ve been to the distillery about 10 times this year alone). We’ve sampled pretty much everything together at one point or another over the years. However, both of those dudes are sphinxes when it comes to what the mash bills actually are. They’re very good at their jobs and part of that means playing coy with details.

Sazerac — Buffalo Trace Distillery’s parent company — keeps their cards very close to their chest when it comes to their exact mash bills. So while I’m going to break down what bottles from Buffalo Trace use which mash bill, Sazerac does not explicitly give exact percentages for each of their mash bills. Still, I’m going to give you the gist of what each mash bill is and what it goes into as an end product. At the very least, you should walk away from this article with a lot more information and context for some of the biggest names in all of American whiskey.

One last tidbit, I’m only talking about mash bills below. That is the grain, water, and yeast recipe used to make distiller’s beer (also called the “mash”) via fermentation. This is not about distilling (like which stills are used and which cuts are distilled again, etc.) or about the aging process, barrels, warehouses, or blending. The mash bill is only about the fermentation process.

Make sense? Let’s roll!

Mash Bill #1

The Mash Bill:

Buffalo Trace Distillery releases three White Dog versions of three of their four mash bills, and this is the main one. That label tells us that Mash Bill #1 is a mix of locally grown corn (Kentucky distillers grade #1 and #2) with Minnesota rye and North Dakota malted barley. The ratios are not given, but it is stated that Mash Bill #1 is a “low-rye” mash bill with 10% or less of rye grain in the mix. We also know that this is a “sour mash” — all Buffalo Trace products tend to be. That means that a little bit of the previous mash is used to start the next batch. As opposed to a “sweet mash” where the tanks are cleaned out and 100% new ingredients are used to start a new mash.

Those grains are ground in-house at Buffalo Trace. The milled grain is then combined with Kentucky limestone water — sourced on-site at the distillery — and cooked to extract the sugars from the grains. That mash is then transferred to open tanks wherein the yeast is added and starts eating the sugars to create a boozy distiller’s beer. Viola!

That distiller’s beer is now the base for some great bourbons.

The Brands That Use Mash Bill #1:

• Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash Bill #1
• Eagle Rare (all expressions)
• George T. Stagg (all expressions)
• Old Charter (all expressions)
• Benchmark (all expressions)
• Buffalo Trace Bourbon
• Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Bourbon (main bourbon expressions only)

Mash Bill #2

The Mash Bill:

Mash Bill #2 is a bit of a mystery. The first thing that’s a tad confusing is that Buffalo Trace doesn’t release a White Dog version. That’s weird. Beyond that, this is mainly the “single barrel” bourbon mash bill.

The actual mash bill is considered a “higher-rye” mash bill with anywhere from 10 to 15% of that Minnesota rye (maybe less) in the recipe alongside the Kentucky corn and North Dakota malted barley. That’s still pretty far from a high-rye bourbon mash bill as it’s known in the industry — that would usually have 20 to 35% rye in the mash. The rest is the same with that local limestone water, a unique yeast strain, and open tank fermentation.

It’s worth noting that a lot of classic Kentucky bourbon mash bills have a rye component at this level.

The Brands That Use Mash Bill #2

• Ancient Age (all expressions)
• Blanton’s (all expressions)
• Rock Hill Farms
• Hancocks Reserve
• Elmer T. Lee
• O.F.C. Vintages

Wheated Mash

The Mash Bill:

This is the big one. Buffalo Trace Distillery’s wheated mash bill makes two of the biggest whiskeys in the world — the Pappy Van Winkle line and Weller.

This mash bill replaces the rye with North Dakota wheat in the corn-fueled bourbon recipe but the percentage of that wheat is not known to the public. Beyond replacing rye grains with wheat, the mash still has Kentucky corn and North Dakota malted barley with a unique yeast strain and local water.

The Brands That Use The Wheated Mash Bill:

• Buffalo Trace White Dog Wheated Mash
• Van Winkle (all of the bourbon expressions)
• Weller (all expressions)
• Single Oak Project
• Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat Recipe

Rye Mash

The Mash Bill:

Buffalo Trace goes their own way with their rye whiskey mash bill. It’s generally understood that their rye mash is a 51% rye mash bill, which just qualifies the recipe legally as a rye whiskey (51% is the minimum rye requirement for a rye whiskey to legally be called one). That said, this could be 52% too — we simply don’t know exactly.

That Minnesota rye is then mixed with a huge portion of North Dakota malted barley and a small component of Kentucky corn (distiller’s grade #1 and #2).

The Brands That Use The Rye Mash:

• Buffalo Trace White Dog Rye Mash
• Thomas H. Handy
• Sazerac Rye (all expressions)
• Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye
• Buffalo Trace Kosher Straight Rye

The Rest

The Mash Bills:

And this is where it goes stratospheric with the mash bills. Buffalo Trace Distillery has 22,000 experimental barrels aging right now. So there are a lot of outliers in the Buffalo Trace lineup with one-off mashbills. Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr.’s line has one-of-a-kind Buffalo Trace mash bills and I’ll list those below.

Then there’s the Experimental Collection which includes completely one-off mash bills that range from things like Peated bourbon mashes to brandy to freaking baiju (a Chinese rice liquor). I’m not going to list them all because there are just too many but you can get a partial list of bottles here.

Lastly, there’s Wheatley Vodka which uses a high-wheat recipe with “other grains” in its mash bill. So yeah, there’s a lot that slots into this category.

The Brands That Use Other Mash Bills:

• Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (a special high-rye bourbon mash bill)
• Wheatley Vodka
• Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Straight Rye (rye and malted barely only mash bill)
• Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Amaranth
• Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain (corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley mash bill)
• W.L. Weller Emmer Wheat (experimental)
• Experimental Collection (varies)
• Prohibition Collection (parts of this collection but exactly which are unknown)

Sarah Silverman‘s latest special, Someone You Love, has the comic at the top of her game, mixing thoughts on everything from religion to life coaches, dried fruit, abortion, language, and obscure porn genres in an hour that’s fun, often silly, meticulously crafted, and quite organic in how it all came together.

Originally airing on HBO at the end of May and freshly released on vinyl this week, the special isn’t so much an act of career strategy or one with an overarching theme. It’s a check in on where Silverman’s head and material was at the time, enhanced by some quick road work and put out into world after HBO tapped her on the shoulder asking for the work.

In the following conversation, recorded a couple of months ago, we discuss the themeless theme, why “segues are for suckers,” Silverman’s evolving process and thoughts on building a comedy special at a point in her career where audiences can be a little too ready to laugh, and her want to be more funny than earnest. In essence, it’s an origin story for one of 2023’s best comedy albums.

Every comedian seems to work on different tracks. Some are like, “I’m going to do a special every other year.” Do you have something like that or is it just that this is when it fits into your schedule, this is when the material worked for you?

I never plan. I never think about the future. This is only my fourth special. I never think of it until some entity goes, “Hey, you want to do a special?” And I actually owed HBO a special and then the pandemic happened and everything and then they were like, “It’s time.” So I went on the road and I had what I had. I had about 37 minutes and then I went on the road for two months and then I had the special and I honed it and shot it at the end of that tour. So it all came together on the road. But I’m glad because unless someone kicks me in the ass, I just never do it.

I’m sure there are specials between the specials I’ve shot, bits and jokes that came and went. I don’t have goals. (Laughs) I don’t think about the future. I’m just always doing standup and working on it, so that’s just a constant in my life.

Having goals is a little overrated sometimes, to be completely honest. I’ve been trying it out for the last couple of years, not a fan. A lot of anxiety comes with goals, so I think you might’ve cracked it.

Thank you. I mean, I’m not against goals. I’m pretty disciplined, so I work. I’m always working on something, but I don’t necessarily have some end in sight or some vision of how it will go. (Laughs)

Once you know, “Okay, I’ve got to drop this special, I’ve got to work on this for a couple of months,” do you start by thinking, “Okay, what’s the theme that I want to talk about?” Or is it just finding your way through wherever your mind is at that point?

The latter. I guess I could go like, “Well, I want to talk about this or I want to talk about this.” But I never really do it that way. I mean, of course, I would say, “I want to talk about abortion rights,” but I didn’t go, “I want to talk about abortion rights” and then write those bits. Those bits were swirling in my head because of our dwindling rights. So I don’t know, it’s a little chicken and egg-ish, but I don’t sit down with a pencil or the laptop or whatever and go, “I want to write a joke about this topic,” because it’s not fruitful for me. It’s just not the way my brain works. And then the trajectory of the special, of course, I’m messing with the order or how things might go together.

You might think that things within a similar category go together, but that isn’t always the case. Sometimes you want to go to other places and then have your mind remember back to something from earlier. The placement gives the material all different kinds of opportunities to connect. Because I realized years ago, many years ago now probably, that segues are for suckers. (Laughs) We don’t talk in segues as humans. We don’t go, “Speaking of that, I, da, da, da.” You know what I mean? Your brain just kind of goes to different places and you suddenly start talking about something else because one thing led the other to the other in your head, and now you’re saying it. It’s like we can connect anything organically. And so once I realized that, I realized stuff can be in any order and that gives you more opportunities.

To me, it’s a way of catching people by surprise.

Yeah, I mean it’s just like if we let ourselves work the way a human brain works, it’s just like everything is connected somehow, even the most different things. And there’s a way in, even if it’s just a pause while your mind goes, “Oh, this!”

Like you said, you wanted to say something about abortion in the last special. There was a great bit about legislating male masturbatory behavior. The one with the GoPro cameras and the kids. It’s a great joke. When you’re crafting material that is talking about a heavy issue, what’s the hierarchy of importance? That you’re saying something [on an issue] or the thrill of saying it in a way that it’s funny, and it gets there? Because that’s a hard line to cross. There’s so many people that try to do political humor and they do it badly.

It has to be funny or you’re just preaching. I mean, there are some moments in this last album where I wish I had more time with it, and it ends up being a little, not preachy, but more observational where I go, “Ooh, it would be great if there was something hardcore right here that I never found.” And so I left it a little bit earnest. What I’m thinking of is “my friends who are in a relationship,” and I see it’s not hard enough for me, like hardcore [in] the comedy. But I really liked what I was saying and people were laughing because they connected with it, which isn’t normally where I like to leave things. (Laughs) I want it to be harder, but I did leave some things there.

But yeah, like the abortion stuff and everything, it’s got to be, if you can make everyone laugh, then anything they retain or think about after that is frosting on the cake. But that’s not necessarily my job, that’s just my personal thoughts. But obviously where I used to say it has to be funnier than it is mean for things I did, now I feel like — and I still feel that way obviously — but it also has to be funnier than it is earnest, which is kind of the way I’ve been going. So I am trying to find that balance because my power is comedy and it is crazy during times like this to try to talk about what matters to you and have enough of a distance to make it funny is hard. But I think about emergency room doctors, they have to have some kind of distance in order to be good at their job.

Yeah, of course.

I feel the same. I don’t compare myself to an emergency room doctor, but to me, I think about how someone can’t come in with a knife in their eye and the emergency room doctor goes, “Oh my God! You have a knife in your eye! Oh my God, that must hurt.” They have to have a certain distance in order to be useful. And I feel the same way with comedians. It’s wonderful to talk about what you’re passionate about, but you need to have some kind of distance in order to be useful because you’ve got to make it funny.

This question’s got a few different pieces, but I’m curious about… I say curious all the time. Sorry.

Curious is great. I like it better than mine. I always say interesting.

I’ll go through the transcripts and see the word curious 9, 10, 11 times. But anyway, you’ve been doing this for a while. Obviously, I’m curious… (drops head in shame). But I am! Is it easier to come up with material now? Is it more fulfilling and is there part of what it felt like when you started that’s still a part of the process now?

It’s a great question. I don’t find it any easier. I mean, I don’t find it easier in terms of writing. I find it the same because the more I know and the more I’ve been doing it, and the more it’s muscle memory and the more all those things, the world around me is changing and comedy is changing. So the challenge is always new and different or else you just become a caricature. And so though imitations of me are very good, I try to not always be like that same caricature. Not that I’m trying to be different for different’s sake, but because I’m just, how can you not be different as years go by?

Oh yeah, I’ll be different tomorrow.

Yeah. But I find it the same amount of challenging. I may have more credibility with an audience where they’re kind of ready to laugh, but in that way, it’s a little harder to be willing to disappoint them, which I am doing every day right now because I’m starting over. Lately I’ve just been going, “Listen, I just did a special, I have nothing, and I have to be able to come out here and try new things and be willing to disappoint you, which makes me brave.” (Laughs)

It’s obnoxious, which I like. And then just to keep their expectations down. But I learned from Chris Rock, he will do a special, he’ll start over. He’ll walk into the Comedy Cellar, the audience will go bananas for four minutes, and then they calm down to listen, and he will disappoint them. He will try 20 new things and see if one hits, or maybe there’s a couple where he realizes, “Okay, this is an area.” But you have to do that work and you have to do it in front of an audience, and there’s just no way around it. There are going to be people going home going, “That wasn’t so great.” But there’s no other way around it. You got to do it

With an audience that’s ready to laugh and the looking, loving gaze… There’s no way around it, but is it more of a challenge for you then to know where the level is, to know what’s funny and what’s not? How do you tell the difference between what’s a Sarah Silverman laugh versus this is just funny and anybody could say it kind of laugh?

Well, I think you get as a comic, and I think comics tend to be pretty hard on themselves, but I think as a comic, you learn when a crowd is laughers and when you feel like you earned good stuff there. I could have a great set where the audience is laughing and come off and be like, “But yeah, no, they were laughing at anything there.” Or I could work out my set at Largo with the best crowd and then go to the Comedy Store and realize, “Oh no, I need to work on a bunch of this stuff to make it actually as strong as it feels when I’m at Largo and the audience just wants to love you.” They love comedy so much that you have to go someplace tougher to really see where you’re at.

‘Someone You Love’ is available to buy on vinyl now and can be streamed on Spotify and MAX.

Jack Black in The White Lotus makes almost too much sense. The actor has a history with creator Mike White, who wrote and co-starred in School of Rock. Also, they both have colors for last names. Something to think about. But alas, Black denied that he’ll be in the next season of the HBO series.

“I’ll deny because that’s easy to tell the truth,” he told Vanity Fair. “I have to throw ice water on that sweet, sweet theory.”

The only confirmed cast member for season three is Natasha Rothwell, who played spa manager Belinda Lindsey in the show’s first season. Otherwise, it’s all speculation, so there’s still hope that the Muppets will visit Thailand.

Black also talked about his Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass being in the holiday classic Elf. “Kyle always reminds me that he’s got the biggest holiday movie,” he said. “He’s able to lord it over me — his residual checks continue to roll in for Elf.” Black’s filmography also includes a Christmas movie, The Holiday, and he’s waiting for writer and director Nancy Meyers to make a sequel. “Once in a while, I slide into Nancy Meyers’s DMs and say, ‘Holiday 2: Electric Boogaloo. Anyone with me?’” he joked.

As long as Kate Winslet gets to beat one of Tom Cruise’s records, I bet she’s down.

Rihanna fans have been waiting a few years to hear some new music from the pop star, but she has taken her time, running a beauty line and starting a family. However, in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, it seems there is a glimmer of hope, as she discussed her thoughts on touring again too.

When Will Rihanna Go On Tour Again?

Although Rihanna played the Super Bowl Halftime Show this year, she hasn’t actually toured since finishing her Anti World Tour in 2016. Next year would mark eight years, but it seems like she is still planning on coming back — it just depends on when.

“Well we’re always gonna go back on tour,” Rihanna told the outlet. “[But] I feel I want to do a tour when there’s new music. We already know what that’s gonna be, with the songs that I’ve performed on my last tour. That was a long time ago.”

“I feel like it’s only fair that my fans get what they’ve been waiting on, which is new music,” she added. “After that, lets just like, blow everything up.”

During the interview, she also mentioned that she felt like Anti was her “most brilliant album,” which has caused a struggle creatively to follow it with something new.

Check out Rihanna discussing touring and new music below.

The Golden State Warriors have been struggling to keep pace in the West playoff race this season, but picked up a huge win on Tuesday night by beating the East’s best team, the Celtics, in overtime on TNT.

Stephen Curry, who has been one of the few bright spots for the Warriors this season, was sensational down the stretch and in overtime, finishing the game with 33 points and six assists. Curry authored the dagger in the closing seconds of overtime, burying a ridiculous three over Derrick White to put Golden State up four and effectively put the game to bed.

Even in a down year for the Warriors that’s seen Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson struggle early (although Klay has been better of late) and Draymond Green dealing with an indefinite suspension, Curry has been tremendous and continues to sustain his level of greatness well into his 30s. That, along with his four rings, prompted Shaq to wonder on Inside the NBA why Steph isn’t “in the conversation” for more people in the never-ending GOAT debate.

Kenny Smith isn’t there yet, and asks Shaq if he ranks Steph above himself, to which Shaq takes no time to say he does. Shaq has long called Curry his favorite player in the NBA, and while Kenny thinks you can argue the point guard list between Steph and Magic Johnson, Shaq thinks he belongs in the overall conversation with LeBron James and Michael Jordan.

It’s an interesting conversation to have and, just generally, I like that Shaq wants to make sure we give Curry his appropriate due as a great player and not just as a shooter, because I think that gets lost sometimes in the discussion of Steph. The difficulty with putting him in the GOAT discussion is the resume of his contemporary, LeBron, features so much and he’s had so much longevity on top of the lofty peaks. That said, you can absolutely argue that Curry has had the biggest impact on how the game is played of anyone since Jordan, which certainly should be brought up when talking about the importance he’s had on the game.

While I doubt Shaq will get too many people on his side that don’t reside in the Bay Area, Curry isn’t done writing his story and as he continues adding records, accolades, and (if the Warriors can get it together again) possible championships, Shaq might want to circle back on this convo.

Travis Scott’s in the middle of his Circus Maximus Tour for Utopia, which has included highlights such as Travis performing fan favorite “Fe!n” 10 times in Tulsa and performing with his daughter Stormi in Los Anggels

However, at his show Tuesday night in New York (December 19), he almost added a moment to his blooper reel thanks to the elaborate stage design. While much of his stage is dressed as a cratered moonscape, there are also props like a massive reproduction of his head, which swings slowly across the stage on a pulley. Unfortunately for Travis, he forgot where it would be swooping down and found himself in its path.

While it didn’t bowl him completely over, it did result in his having to jump to a lower platform to avoid being knocked down. Naturally, though, fans caught the moment while filming and posted it on social media. At least it wasn’t worse; Travis has decent enough reflexes that he’s got fans posting things like “W save” instead of head puns.

Travis’ tour will continue through the rest of the month and up to the end of January. You can see the remaining dates below.

The next time you publicly ogle Sydney Sweeney and/or Glen Powell, be aware that they might see it.

BuzzFeed had the Anyone But You co-stars read thirst tweets about themselves. In response to “sydney sweeney DISTRACTS me!!!!! i’m sitting here doing nothing but suddenly i have to stop doing NOTHING so i can think about her BOOTY!!!!!” Sweeney said, “Thank you for giving my booty love, for once. It’s always my boobs.” Someone else wanted Sweeney to “bite my head off” like a praying mantis. “It’s kind of hot,” Powell admitted, although he doesn’t “usually bring bugs into the bedroom, you know what I mean?”

Don’t worry, the Top Gun: Maverick hunk got objectified, too, including one tweet that imagined the “academy award winning sound of glen powell’s abs flexing in the sun.” When Sweeney expressed surprise that they make noise, Powell shared that it sounds like scooping coconut oil. Here’s more:

“top gun IS propaganda. glen powell being sexy propaganda!!”

“Something about Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell makes me feel bisexual af”

“sydney sweeney could spit on me and call me trash and i’d thank her. sydney sweeney if u see this i’m free sundays”

“i am no better than a man… just a hole for sydney sweeney”

She was particularly flattered and horrified by that last one, which Powell joked is going to “haunt us all.” You can watch the video above.

Last night (December 19), the 2023 Ally Coalition Talent Show was held at the Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts in NYC. As the annual event is co-founded by Jack Antonoff, there was no shortage of surprise guest musicians throughout the evening. A lot of the lineup consisted of performers who were returning for another year, and it benefitted a great cause, with all proceeds going to helping unhoused LGBTQ+ youth.

Clairo dropped by to perform her song, “Blouse,” alongside Bartees Strange and Antonoff’s band Bleachers. As her second song, she also covered Vashti Bunyan’s “Winter Is Blue.”

Bartees Strange would return as well to play Gershwin’s “Summertime.”

Then, there was St. Vincent, who performed her 2017 track, “New York,” from her standout album, Masseduction — which Antonoff produced. The two would join forces, as she sang “At The Holiday Party” while he played piano.

Jason Isbell was there too, deciding to honor the late John Prine with a cover of “Hello In There.”

As another Antonoff-produced song, Claud treated the crowd to a cover of Taylor Swift’s “Betty” — proving the pop star was still there in spirit. (She had performed at the Talent Show back in 2018.)

Check out some clips from the 2023 Ally Coalition Talent Show’s performances above.
