Olivia Rodrigo launched her Unraveled tour at Hartford’s People’s Bank Arena on September 25, and the floral-filled show delivered a moment nobody saw coming. Midway through an emotional performance of“The Cure,”her dress appeared to melt off on stage. Planned or not, the clip spread fast, and it set the tone for a tour that already feels like a full production.
The same weekend, the MTV VMAs took over Los Angeles on September 27. Taylor Swift posed with her Moonman trophy alongside Dakota Johnson, while Sabrina Carpenter joined Madonna for the show’s opening performance. Two pop generations sharing one stage made for the night’s most replayed segment.
The sightings did not stop there. Ava and Deacon Phillippe attended the Nashville Film Festival premiere of Brother Save Us, and Brad Pitt promoted Heart of the Beast at the San Sebastian International Film Festival. With festival season and award season overlapping, the next few weeks are packed with star moments.
