Let’s talk about the Sabrina Carpenter vs. Olivia Rodrigo booking. Capital has clearly read the gossip forums and thought, “Let’s put them back-to-back and livestream the side-eye.” Sabrina will be doing her espresso-themed holiday mashup, while Olivia will likely debut a breakup ballad about someone who stole her Christmas cookie. I’m honestly expecting a Mamma Mia-style catfight but with microphones and glitter.
And then there’s Chappell Roan, who is the lineup’s chaotic wildcard. She’s apparently requested a stage prop of a giant, animatronic unicorn that shoots rainbow confetti at the audience. Also, she’s doing a cover of “Last Christmas” but in the style of a 1980s hair metal power ballad. You heard it here first.

Remember Coldplay? They’re headlining too, because apparently they never die—they just keep releasing more yellow-themed album variants. Chris Martin will probably give a speech about world peace while wearing a puffer jacket that looks like a space suit, and then they’ll perform “Fix You” while 10,000 phone lights look like a constellation of drunk Bees.
