MNEK

        Lewis Vorn Bridge
    
When you look at all the songs that MNEK is credited on and the list of artists he's worked with, it takes a number of hefty scrolls to get all the way to the bottom. 
The gay singer-songwriter and producer worked with dozens of artists, ranging from major pop stars like Dua Lipa, Troye Sivan, and Selena Gomez, to girl groups like the wildly successful British acts Little Mix and FLO (whose debut album he worked on, which helped him nab another Grammy nomination), as well as K-pop groups Twice, aespa, and BTS.

Given that they aren't headliners, the general public hasn't reacted to these new names as intensely as they did for Bad Bunny headlining the Halftime Show.

Kim Petras stirred up controversy when she announced that her record label has “refused” to give her a release date for her finished album, and now other pop stars are coming forward to support her. 
In a string of revealing social media posts on Jan. 20, Petras accused Republic Records of refusing to provide a release date for her new album, tentatively called Detour, despite it being finished six months ago, and said her label has yet to pay her collaborators "for the work they’ve done.”
