"fired rubber bullets at us," she wrote on Saturday, sharing photos from the frontline of protesters. "we did not breach the line. hands were up. unmoving. and they gassed and fired.""I dont know how to articulate the horrors of today," she wrote on Sunday."NG + officers firing rounds into kneeling crowds," another update said. "We dont have enough medics on the ground on our side. I was treating injuries I am not qualified to. So much blood spilled. If you have med training pls go + standby outskirts.""And if you're a white ally who is gonna stand and shout and antagonize the officers and NG and then hide behind black bodies when the shots start firing, f--- you," she continued. "You couldnt understand a shred of the bravery of the black folks at the front line. Thank you to everyone who stayed."The 25-year-old singer, who is biracial, was protesting alongside her ex-boyfriend and close friend, YUNGBLUD, who she says "literally ran exposed in front of rounds being shot to drag wounded people to safety without even thinking twice."YUNGBLUD also shared updates from the protest on Twitter and praised Halsey for her "brave and inspirational" actions."i need to say @halsey u were incredible today. u acted fearlessly and selflessly," he wrote. "when innocent people were unlawfully wounded, u were there with a medical kit bandaging them up. u didn't think about yourself for one moment. i am proud to know u."Indeed, many fans and observers have praised Halsey for using her platform to act against racism and injustice.Elijah Daniel, a popular internet personality, called attention to Halsey's actions on Twitter."halsey is doing incredible &amp; that should be noted," he wrote. "not for press. not for attention, not with a group of body guards. on the frontline. helping injured people. THIS is how to use the platform your fans give you for good. if you are given a platform, it's for a reason. use it."Grande has also been on the ground in Los Angeles with a "Black Lives Matter" sign and marching alongside her close friend, Doug Middlebrook, and boyfriend, Dalton Gomez.<div type="image" title="ariana grande protesting" height="900" width="1015" msid="76141557" hostid="261"></div>The 26-year-old pop star has encouraged the media to bring attention to the peaceful side of protesting."hours and miles of peaceful protesting yesterday that got little to no coverage," she wrote on Sunday.

Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and Kanye West have also marched for Black Lives Matter in Los Angeles and Chicago, with fans documenting their involvement on social media. Other stars like Ellen Pompeo, Emily Ratajkowski, Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, and Pedro Pascal have also demonstrated in support of Black Lives Matter.

Next up: Kali Uchis.It feels exceedingly natural to turn to Kali Uchis right now for comfort, wisdom, and guidance.The 25-year-old has been singing about solitude and self-sufficiency since her first official single, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSViNoqvC6s">"Know What I Want,"</a> was released in 2014. Her debut studio album was literally titled "Isolation." Her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTdj-6Bd5wk">recent standalone single "Solita,"</a> released in December, means "Alone" in Spanish. (Dancing by yourself is better than dancing with the devil, she crooned like a sensible, pre-quarantine prophet.)"I mean honestly, I've really been in my bag while I've been home because this is how I started, you know?" Uchis told Insider during a recent Zoom call, casually swaddled in a white robe and sitting cross-legged on her bedroom floor."I started just making <keyword id="6354530" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="music">music</keyword> in my room by myself. I brought this little setup up here. This is where my microphone is," she said, pointing to the black object on her left-hand side, "like, literally right here."<div type="image" title="kali uchis zoom interview" height="900" width="1200" msid="75557188" hostid="261"></div>"Today, I did not feel like doing my makeup," she added. "Today I was like, 'Ugh.' I just threw some sunglasses on."<h2>'There was just something so beautiful and freeing about that, about it not being calculated and it not being perfect'</h2>Uchis first attracted attention when she spontaneously posted her debut mixtape, "Drunken Babble," online in 2012. She thought nothing of it. In fact, she told me, she basically made all 17 of its songs "in the matter of one night.""I didn't know how to sing and I didn't know how to produce, and I didn't know how to do anything that I was doing, but there was no pressure and there was no expectation," she told me. "There was just something so beautiful and freeing about that, about it not being calculated and it not being perfect.""That was something that I just wanted to feel again. I just wanted to feel like, 'I'm just going to sing this stuff and put it out there.'"And so, in much the same way, Uchis surprised fans with the announcement of her newest project: a four-song EP titled "To Feel Alive," released on April 24, that she made "in a couple of days""recorded all of it alone, in my room, bcoz i won't roll out my real album right now, but wanna give my babies Something," <a href="https://twitter.com/KALIUCHIS/status/1252476804582891521?s=20">she wrote on Twitter</a>. "nobody needs to listen to it, &amp; i don't want ANYONE to buy it. thank u.""It was very free-flowing. It just felt like a no-brainer for me," she said of the project. "But honestly, I wanted to be really, really vocal about the fact that I didn't want people to buy it. Because I want people to save their money for the things that matter right now, and I really just wanted people to have something.""If it was up to me, I would've put it out for free, but I'm on a label and they didn't let me do that," she added, sighing heavily. "So, whatever. I just told everyone, 'Don't buy it, just stream it.' And I was really, really surprised by the way it was received.""It was like a reassurance to me that I am on the right path and I am doing what I came to do and what I'm meant to do."Before the coronavirus pandemic altered the fabric of our shared reality, Uchis had planned to release the lead single from her forthcoming sophomore album in June. (With everything going on, she declined to clarify whether that plan is still in motion.)"I was supposed to be on tour in Latin America right now. My plans were changed pretty much overnight for my career," she said. "This was one of those things where I just wanted to feel the excitement of being able to connect with people in a time where I felt really repressed and really muted.""I'm just really excited to share the actual album because that is the project that, I feel like at this point in my life, is my life's work. I am more proud of it than anything that I've ever done in my life," she continued."[The EP] was like a nice appetizer, you know?"<h2>It took Uchis just 15 minutes to write and record the EP's titular track</h2>The centerpiece of "To Feel Alive" is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsNAvSwfZ6E">the fourth and final track</a>, which bears the same name. The winking, minimal production elevates Uchis' nimble self-reflections, almost giving the impression that she's freestyling, or else scribbling an especially poetic diary entry."I just played the little string and a harp together, and then I just started singing it. It wasn't very much thought. I was like, 'I'm just going to put this on because this is a bit of me now,'" she said. "'I'm just going to say, 'F--- it,' and just literally make this thing in five minutes."Uchis is persistently introspective and precise with her phrasing, which often leads her to offer anecdotes and sprawling, thoughtful meditations in response to simple questions.We're engrossed in conversation for another 30 minutes, touching on a varied feast of topics — writing lyrics in Spanish versus English, her EP's George Condo-inspired cover art, which Fiona Apple albums she's been listening to — before I remember to circle back for an important clarification.I asked: "Wait, so did you seriously write the song 'To Feel Alive' in five minutes?""That song was probably 15 minutes to write it and record it," she replied coolly.<div type="image" title="kali uchis" height="2440" width="1536" msid="75557190" hostid="261"></div>In contrast, the first two tracks on "To Feel Alive" were years in the making. "Honey Baby (Spoiled!)" and "Angel" are revamped versions of old demos; the original versions were <a href="https://twitter.com/LaUnicaUpdates/status/848593934083215360?s=20">both featured in the teaser for Uchis' debut EP, 2015's "Por Vida."</a>"They never came out because they actually got leaked, and then I was just over it," she explained. "I was going through a lot of different things at the time, and I was just like, 'F--- it. I'm just going to make more stuff.'""But with this new project," Uchis added, "I felt that I owed that to my fans, that bit of nostalgia and real actual recordings of me, even though it was just done in my room." Uchis rewrote "Honey Baby" so that she still felt connected to its message. She tweaked just one line in "Angel," which was originally titled "Pablo": "Told me let you worry 'bout the annual residuals" became "You know I'm not worried 'bout my annual residuals," mirroring her journey towards strength and financial stability."I mean, I've always been an independent person, but it's different being fully an independent woman, an adult — because I made those songs when I was newly 18, 17," Uchis said, pausing to reflect."It was just really nice to be able to still connect with them and still connect with that part of me and that side of me, and with my journey. When I look back on all the stuff that I've been through and all the people that I've been in one life — I am still connected to all those parts of me."<h2>The EP's third track, 'I Want War (But I Need Peace),' poetically sums up Uchis' thoughts on growth and solitude</h2>Uchis performed "I Want War" during her joint tour with Jorja Smith in 2019. Now, the fan-favorite song has an official recording and even a lyric video — which Uchis filmed in her backyard after ordering a green screen and phone booth prop online.Uchis was quiet, her voice rich with empathy, as she reflected on the song's title and central refrain."I've always been a very complicated and complex person," Uchis explained. "I think for a lot of us who come from — I guess, for lack of a better word — traumatic childhoods and confusing upbringings, I think it can be really difficult to be able to understand what a healthy relationship is."Uchis, who grew up in Colombia before spending her teen years in Virginia, said she "attracted a lot of chaos" when she was younger and found herself "addicted to other damaged people" — not just in romance, but in work and friendships."I let myself be around negative influences for a long time. I let people into my life that were not good for me and that were toxic," Uchis said. "Unhealthy people can infect you just like toxins in your body.""I just got to a point where I realized that if people are not enriching your life, they're poisoning your life," she continued, her voice growing softer and more contemplative. "I got at that point in my life last year where peace of mind became my priority. Peace of mind is my only priority."<div type="image" title="kali uchis bw" height="2030" width="1534" msid="75557195" hostid="261"></div>This is a valuable mindset for any occasion, of course, but feels especially prescient during a pandemic, when peace of mind is hard to come by.Uchis is similarly, tenderly understanding when I ask for advice she can offer to fans who struggle to be alone or prioritize inner peace."Even if you have issues with abandonment, which I've also struggled with, I think the best thing to do is face all those things that make you uncomfortable," she told me."If you feel like you constantly have to be on a FaceTime call with someone or you constantly have to be talking to someone, it's important to understand why you do that, and challenge yourself to be OK to not talk to anyone.""Start in sections. It might just be like, 'OK, I'm going to challenge myself to not get on my phone for five hours and not talk to anyone for five hours,'" she continued helpfully."We talk so much, and a lot of time, people just have no idea of what the f--- they're even talking about. It makes communication just very vapid. When you practice silence and you practice diving inwards, once you do open your mouth, it's something meaningful and valuable."Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/kali-uchis-to-feel-alive-ep-quarantine-isolation-interview-2020-4">Insider</a>

"Omg, can you please show us how you did this? My puppy would love it," wrote another. The TikTok duo responded to users with a tutorial video on the crafty puppy hammock.First, they connected two zip ties to the underside of the desk.Next, they grabbed a fleece blanket and tied knots onto either side of it to each of the zip ties.After the basic hammock is set up, they put Valentina inside and added pillows and blankets for comfort.At the end of the video, they noted that they keep the hammock close to the ground in case she has bad dreams. Although it's not mentioned in the video, they placed a dog bed underneath the hammock, too. This video had more than 100,000 views and 8,000 likes at the time of writing, and commentators tried hack for themselves."I just made this, he climbed in immediately," one TikToker commented. "Yaaaaaas," wrote another, "doing this Monday."Another TikToker noted another use for the hammock: "But also a foot hammock," the user commented.@dacia_fabricia responded that they do actually use the hammock as a footrest when Valentina isn't in it."Great minds think alike," they commented.

The creator, who goes by "Laura Love" on TikTok, said in a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lauralove5514/video/6993121251619294470?q=lauralove&amp;t=1683209069519" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> that while some parents might punish their child for such an action, she decided to ask him to clean up the mess, had a conversation with him about why he shouldn't do the same thing in the future, and gave him some glasses placed over a dish so he could practice pouring liquids in a more appropriate environment."Is it really a toddler's fault who has zero impulse control at this age, or is it the parents' fault for leaving the coffee accessible in the first place?" she asked. Laura is one of dozens of parents sharing their journey with a method called "gentle parenting" on TikTok, gaining millions of followers for sharing tips on the seemingly atypical technique of aiming to teach and understand their young children, who are often still non-verbal, through building up a rapport of communication with them from an early age. The hashtag <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/gentleparenting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#gentleparenting</a> has 3.7 billion TikTok views, and social media has propelled this method — which emerged out of <a href="https://parentingscience.com/authoritative-parenting-style/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">growing</a> <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8967044/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">psychological</a> <a href="https://medcraveonline.com/JPCPY/the-concept-of-authoritative-parenting-and-itrsquos-effects-on-academic-achievement.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> into the most effective ways to promote children's wellbeing and positive relationships with caregivers — towards widespread popularity.TikTok-famous parents trying and testing these methods told Insider they're bringing cameras into their households to fight the misconceptions that gentle parenting is weak or overly permissive, or reserved for parents of certain backgrounds and lifestyles.But as they gain traction, they also attract criticism.Some viewers say that gentle parenting, as seen on TikTok, sets an unattainable standard of "perfect parenting" that leaves some parents, particularly those in full-time work, feeling inadequate and guilty for letting angry emotions get the better of them. Others say the community is oversaturated with white women and excludes fathers and people of color, while some equate gentle parenting to letting children run amok and promoting a culture where parents are not able to maintain control over their households. Amid these concerns, gentle parenting content has continued to draw a community of supportive TikTok viewers, some of whom say they feel increasingly compelled to implement the methods they see online at home. Creators told Insider the rewarding feelings generated from having others compliment and take inspiration from their parenting choices has alleviated some of their own fears about stepping out and giving gentle parenting a try in front of millions of online spectators. <h2>Proponents say gentle parenting is built on a foundation of respect</h2>Parenting experts largely agree that there are four main types of parenting: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and neglectful.The framework was initially <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/1126611" target="_blank" rel="noopener">developed by clinical psychologist Diana Baumrind</a> in 1966 and became more widespread in the 1980s when Stanford researchers Eleanor Maccoby and John Martin added the fourth method to the list. "Gentle parenting," as it is most commonly known on TikTok, falls into the "authoritative" category, which employs high levels of discipline, while also focusing on creating an emotionally stable environment for the child to express themselves. Many experts believe authoritative parenting is the most effective for nurturing children because of the extent to which it emphasizes seeking to understand the reasons behind a child's behavior. It differs from authoritarian parenting, which is characterized by strict rules, often followed by punishments if they're breached. <a href="https://sarahockwell-smith.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah Ockwell-Smith</a>, a parenting coach and the author of "The Gentle Parenting Book" told Insider that older generations, particularly people in their 60s and 70s, are more likely to be authoritarian in their parenting style, having likely been raised in this way themselves, but that authoritative models have become increasingly common in more recent decades due to psychological research on the best parenting practices. "Research has allowed us to set our expectations of a child's behavior in a way that is far more realistic than previous parenting styles. Where we may have once spanked a young child for having a tantrum, we now know that they are not being deliberately defiant, or naughty, and can instead help them to understand and regulate their emotions," she told Insider. According to Ockwell Smith, TikTok has propelled the gentle parenting movement into widespread popularity at an extremely fast rate, but she thinks the method was likely to spread into the mainstream regardless, due to <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/parenting/gentle-parenting#pros" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increasing research</a> supporting its benefits. <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeofnamz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Namwila Mulwanda</a>, a gentle parenting TikToker with 54,000 followers based in Essex, UK, told Insider that although gentle parenting goes by many names on TikTok, including "respectful" and "positive" parenting, she thinks videos about the method are all characterized by the principle that the child is worthy of being treated with respect."You also look at life from the child's perspective," she said, adding, "Their brain is not fully developed at all, and they're likely struggling with their ability to express their emotions in an appropriate way." <div type="image" title="A picture of Namwila" height="3088" width="2316" msid="100038072" hostid="261" sizebytes="830816"></div>In one of Mulwanda's <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeofnamz/video/7160403930218859782?q=lifeofnamz%20tantrum&amp;t=1676559344178" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikToks</a>, posted in October, the creator explained how she prefers to use positive language, such as "feet on the floor please," instead of negative statements, like, "stop jumping on the sofa," as a way of helping her child to understand how to behave without being critical. Kelly Enos, a TikToker with 436,000 followers, told Insider that her commenters sometimes confuse gentle parenting with the "permissive" method, which is when parents are nurturing, but reluctant to introduce limits or disciplinary measures. Enos, also based in the UK, said she wants to show that you can parent gently while also setting boundaries, and she has posted videos demonstrating scenarios of how she would tell her child <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kellymedinaenos/video/7156592920806706438?q=kellymedinaenos%20limits&amp;t=1676638737204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to not play in the road</a> or to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kellymedinaenos/video/7012995003437944070?q=kellymedinaenos%20how%20to%20say%20no&amp;t=1676638961251" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stop drawing on the wall,</a> using kind and respectful language. <h2>Creators say they want to debunk misconceptions and address concerns about gentle parenting</h2>As the gentle parenting genre has risen in popularity on TikTok, users have started to debate the accessibility of the method, particularly saying that it feels like <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alypain/video/7030561651057298693?q=gentle%20parenting%20white%20privilege&amp;t=1676642075392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">parents</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tototoryyy/video/7046081124451257605?q=gentle%20parenting%20white%20privilege&amp;t=1676642075392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@_theteacherlady/video/7056166249549581615?q=gentle%20parenting%20white%20privilege&amp;t=1676642075392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@nameswithsteph/video/7056482609265921326?q=gentle%20parenting%20privilege&amp;t=1676642382838" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more</a> socially privileged — such as those who can afford to be stay-at-home-parents — are likely to find it easier to control their emotions and parent in a gentle way. Katherine Reynolds Lewis, a <a href="https://www.katherinerlewis.com/bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">parent educator</a> and <a href="https://www.katherinerlewis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">author of the parenting book "The Good News About Bad Behaviour,"</a> told Insider that parents in full-time work, or those living in societies with less family-friendly work policies, might find that they struggle to emulate the kind of gentle parenting they see on TikTok due to a lack of time and resources. She warned that the popularity of the genre might cause some people to compare their realities to videos of gentle parenting they see on social media, which can be "problematic" when it starts to make parents lose confidence in their own parenting abilities.Lewis said it is important for parents to balance having influencer role models with making real-life connections with other parents so that they stay in tune with the reality of what other families look like, instead of fixating on what they see online. She also said that while a lot of gentle parenting content seems flawless on the surface, it's important for parents to keep in mind that there's a lot they don't see off-camera and that it's normal to make mistakes in parenting.Enos, who has been sharing gentle parenting advice based on how she's raising her 3-year-old, George, told Insider that her account exists precisely to debunk the perception that gentle parenting is always "perfect parenting." The 32-year-old mother has posted videos <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kellymedinaenos/video/7182288039337659653?q=gentle%20parenting%20hard&amp;t=1676979445843" target="_blank" rel="noopener">struggling</a> to engage with her child while dealing with sickness herself and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kellymedinaenos/video/7070423661223709958?q=gentle%20parenting%20hard&amp;t=1676979445843" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempting</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kellymedinaenos/video/7057499056326593798?q=gentle%20parenting%20hard&amp;t=1676979445843" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to</a> calm herself down, to show viewers the difficult side of gentle parenting that they don't often see on social media. In <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kellymedinaenos/video/7088795167305501957?q=kellymedinaenos%20shout&amp;t=1683206845800" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one</a> of her videos from 2022, she mentions that she lost her temper and shouted at her son in the car, and told Insider she hopes her honesty can help other parents feel less ashamed when they make mistakes or have bad days. "I just thought it'd be really refreshing to see somebody doing it, but also struggling through it," she said, adding, "In a lot of TikToks, you tend to see these picture-perfect moments where children will just react wonderfully to gentle parenting, and that's not always how it goes."Meanwhile, Mulwanda, who has African heritage, has dealt with concerns about privilege and the genre in another way entirely. She told Insider that some parents from the Black community often comment on her videos, insinuating that they think gentle parenting is a highly Westernized concept, believing that failing to punish a child is likely to spoil them. The TikToker told Insider that she grew up in a "strict" household and that there is a <a href="https://africa.thegospelcoalition.org/article/african-parents-dont-provoke-your-children/#:~:text=On%20the%20other%20hand%20is,being%20authoritarian%20rather%20than%20permissive." target="_blank" rel="noopener">perception that African parents tend to lean more toward authoritarian parenting styles</a>. She believes her content is having an impact on her community because it shows her refusing to pass down generational trauma inherited from her own upbringing onto her child. "Those patterns are so easily carried down, so I thought, I'm going to do my best to break the cycle and try to be as intentional as I can," she said, adding that many parents of color have commented on her videos that they appreciate seeing a Black mother parenting their child in a radically different way to how they were themselves raised. <h2>Gentle parenting content raises questions, but creators believe it's worth sharing their journeys</h2>Concerns around gentle parenting content sit alongside equally prominent criticism that is rife in other parenting communities on TikTok, as videos posted by parents are among the most controversial on the platform. <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktok-mom-backlash-baby-snacks-floor-2022-12">Creators</a> <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktok-mom-backlash-waxing-daughters-unibrow-2022-10">who</a> <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktok-mom-9-year-old-nose-piercing-backlash-response-2023-1">have</a> shared clips about raising their children in any way that is considered outside the norm have previously faced intense scrutiny and backlash. Some criticism that gentle parenting content shares with the broader world of parenting content on TikTok is that it seems to be dominated by women, with a lack of representation of parents from other genders. Experts Lewis and Ockwell-Smith both said this is representative of the societal stereotype that women are more often the primary caregiver and that men tend to engage less with parenting content on social media, rather than an indication that gentle parenting itself is more suited to mothers. Others have criticized this parenting genre, among others like it, for involving children in the production of videos, due to <a href="https://www.insider.com/maia-knight-parent-oversharing-child-abuse-tiktok-youtube-family-vlogging-2023-1">concerns about whether a child can consent to being filmed</a>. Enos told Insider she's become more aware of these concerns as she's grown on TikTok, and said she has gradually decided to include her son less frequently in her videos to protect his privacy. Mulwanda told Insider she often wrestles with the ethics of filming her child, and might reconsider her decisions in the future, but is currently motivated to keep sharing videos of her parenting because of the way she feels she is "able to help so many different people" through the power and reach of her account.<div type="image" title="A picture of Mulwanda and her child." height="1452" width="737" msid="100038077" hostid="261" sizebytes="271298"></div>Among the millions of people viewing gentle parenting content on TikTok, many have responded with strong statements about the impact that watching it has had on their outlook on parenting. Lewis told Insider that many parents are beginning to see this genre as inspiration for a "redo" of their own childhoods, the chance to create "something better for their child" than what they were raised with, making use of the resources and testimonies they can access on social media. "TikTok is a great venue for viscerally seeing the difference between what your parents did and what other people are doing, or even what you're doing currently," she said. For Enos and Mulwanda, who are both continuing to document their journey with gentle parenting on TikTok, one of the biggest payoffs has been the hundreds of people responding emotionally, saying that watching this positive parenting in action has helped to "heal their inner child" from the wounds of their own experiences of childhood.For these two creators, parenting in this way has had an equally healing and significant impact on their own lives. While Mulwanda said she was "scared of replicating" the environment she grew up in, and Enos said she felt "really guilty" for shouting at her son before discovering the gentle parenting method, both women told Insider they feel their current approach to parenting has restored to them a feeling of emotional stability that they lost out on as kids. "I was just plodding along doing gentle parenting and out of nowhere it really hit me," Enos said, "That big part of gentle parenting is self-healing and finding out what your triggers are and how to support yourself in getting through that. A huge part of it is about healing your inner child.""That was something I really did not expect to happen," she said. <a href="https://www.insider.com/culture">For more stories like this, check out coverage from Insider's Digital Culture team here.</a>

They just need to feel "new" to mainstream audiences.This is clearly represented by this year's crop of 10 nominees, <a href="https://www.insider.com/grammy-awards-2022-nominees-winners-list-2021-11">announced on Tuesday</a>. They include Glass Animals, who dropped their debut EP nearly 10 years ago; <keyword id="12273154" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="saweetie" source="Orion">Saweetie</keyword>, who released her first of four platinum singles in 2017; and <a href="https://www.insider.com/who-is-finneas-oconnell-billie-eilish-brother-producer-cowriter">Finneas O'Connell</a>, who has already won eight Grammy Awards.As <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/olivia-rodrigo-best-new-artist-grammy-analysis-9648036/">Billboard</a> previously reported, artists and label executives "have long complained about the ambiguity of the best new artist rules, which have changed several times in the past decade."Here's everything you need to know about the current eligibility requirements.<div type="image" title="glass animals" height="1999" width="2666" msid="87898880" hostid="261"></div><h2>The rules were recently changed to get rid of a maximum song restriction</h2>In recent years, there was an explicit sweet spot for best new artist consideration.In order to be eligible, a musician was <a href="https://www.grammy.com/recording-academy/press-release/the-recording-academy-announces-rule-amendments-and-dates-for-the">required</a> to have at least five songs or one album in their catalog — but no more than 30 songs or three albums.However, in June 2020, the Recording Academy <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/new-grammy-rules-best-new-artist-1012966/">announced</a> that nominees would no longer be held to a "specified maximum number of releases." In other words, well-established artists with vast catalogs can now be submitted for consideration.Glass Animals has certainly benefited from this change. The British indie-rock band has released three studio albums, containing more than 40 songs, since 2014. The most recent, "Dreamland," was released in August 2020, before the eligibility period for the <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/grammys-2022">2022 Grammys</a> began on September 1, 2020.Indeed, the band was presumably nominated for best new artist this year thanks to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRD0-GxqHVo">"Heat Waves,"</a> the fourth single from "Dreamland.""Heat Waves" was originally <a href="https://www.facebook.com/glassanimals/photos/heat-waves-is-out-now-its-about-realising-you-cant-make-everyone-happy-and-reali/10156912343501152/">released</a> in June 2020 and began <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56667366">steadily climbing charts</a> around the world, praised by critics for its <a href="https://www.stereogum.com/2145342/glass-animals-heat-waves/columns/the-week-in-pop/">warm sound and crossover potential</a>.The single then burst onto mainstream radars when <a href="https://www.intheknow.com/post/sometimes-all-i-think-about-is-you-heat-waves-tiktok/">a slowed-down remix became popular on TikTok</a> this summer, causing the band's streaming numbers to balloon and popularity to explode. The song <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/glass-animals-heat-waves-tops-hot-rock-alternative-songs/">finally reached No. 1</a> on Billboard's Hot Rock &amp; Alternative Songs chart in September and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/adele-glass-animals-hot-100-top-10-9656721/">cracked the Billboard Hot 100's top 10</a> in November.<h2>The Grammy Award for best new artist is intended to honor a 'breakthrough' year</h2>According to <a href="https://www.grammy.com/sites/com/files/rulesandguidelines_2021_update_10.21_2.pdf">the current rules</a>, "This category recognizes an artist whose eligibility-year release(s) achieved a breakthrough into the public consciousness and notably impacted the musical landscape."If that sounds subjective, it is.The Grammys employ an anonymous screening committee that evaluates the list of best new artist submissions, which can include anywhere between 500 to 1,000 names, according to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/olivia-rodrigo-best-new-artist-grammy-analysis-9648036/">Billboard</a>.This group has the final say on whether someone is eligible for nomination that year, <a href="https://www.grammy.com/sites/com/files/rulesandguidelines_2021_update_10.21_2.pdf">the rules specify</a>. (Each musician can be submitted for best new artist consideration up to three times.)As the <a href="https://www.grammy.com/sites/com/files/rulesandguidelines_2021_update_10.21_2.pdf">rules state</a>, "The screening committee will be charged with determining whether the artist had attained a breakthrough or prominence prior to the eligibility year. Such a determination would result in disqualification."For example, the screening committee apparently decided that Saweetie was not a household name prior to this eligibility year.Even though she already had multiple hits under her belt (including 2017's "Icy Grl," 2019's "My Type," and 2020's summer anthem "Tap In"), Saweetie reached a new level of fame when she teamed up with <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/doja-cat">Doja Cat</a> in January for the infectious bop <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xJUCsyMQes">"Best Friend."</a>Their collaboration was <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/Best-Friend-feat-Doja-Cat-6901529746388027394?lang=en">immediately embraced online</a> and peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. It earned Saweetie <a href="https://www.insider.com/mtv-vmas-nominees-winners-list-2021-8">her first MTV Video Music Award</a> and has since been <a href="https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&amp;ar=Saweetie&amp;ti=&amp;format=&amp;type=#search_section">certified</a> two-times platinum by the RIAA.The single also helped build hype for Saweetie's third EP, "Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1," which was released in April, as well as her forthcoming debut studio album, "Pretty Bitch <keyword id="11898471" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="music" source="Orion">Music</keyword>."The 28-year-old rapper went on to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/saweetie-host-mtv-emas-1235038416/">host</a> the MTV Europe Music Awards and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOItdP6ZjU8">perform</a> on "Saturday Night Live" in November, cementing her star-on-the-rise reputation.<h2>Artists are ineligible if they've already received Grammy recognition as a performer — but not as a producer or songwriter</h2>As Billboard previously reported, several of 2021's breakout stars were not included on the final list of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/grammys-2022-most-least-crowded-categories-9651445/">463 eligible artists</a> this year, including <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTHLKHL_whs">"Industry Baby"</a> rapper Jack Harlow and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn_p95HbHoQ">"Telepatía"</a> singer Kali Uchis.These artists were deemed ineligible because they had previously received Grammy nominations as performers.

Musicians like Kali Uchis, Janelle Monáe, Noname, Kehlani, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra shared screenshots of their donations to the freedom fund, too. And several other stars donated to bail-relief funds that weren't based in Minnesota. Chrissy Teigen shared on Twitter that she was donating $100,000 after President Trump shared a statement announcing Saturday was "MAGA" night at the White House (he didn't elaborate what that meant).In response to a since-deleted tweet calling the protesters "rioters and criminals," Teigen upped her donation to $200,000. Other celebrities who contributed to bail-relief funds include Harry Styles, who revealed that he was "donating to help post bail for arrested organizers," and the band Paramore, who gave $25,000 across three organizations (Black Lives Matter Nashville, Campaign Zero, and the ACLU) in an effort to support the black community and "be responsible with their privilege." Mindy Kaling, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds also opened up about their donations to organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Campaign Zero, and the Minnesota Freedom Fund. And Ben Stiller shared news of his donation to a GoFundMe for Darnella Frazier — the 17-year-old who filmed George Floyd's death at the hands of police — on Twitter.<keyword id="6355064" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Celebrity">Celebrity</keyword> couples like Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, and Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, have also made donations to social justice-focused organizations.Nick shared on Twitter that he and Chopra had donated to the Equal Justice Initiative and the ACLU, and Joe revealed on Instagram that he and Turner had donated to those organizations as well. <div type="image" title="joe jonas IG donation" height="1396" width="717" msid="76201567" hostid="261"></div>Stephanie Beatriz and the rest of the "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" cast, along with the showrunner, also made significant donations to the National Bail Fund Network. Beatriz <a href="https://www.insider.com/brooklyn-nine-nine-stephanie-beatriz-black-lives-matter-donation-tv-cops-2020-6">even called on other actors who've played cops on TV to do the same.</a>And musicians like Drake, the Weeknd, and Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco have shared their donations to bail-relief and black-focused organizations, too. Urie shared on Twitter that his silence on the protests made him "complicit" in the inequalities against black people, and that he was redirecting funds from <a href="https://panicatthedisco.com/highesthopesfoundation">his organization</a> to "anti-racist organizations." Poet Mustafa Ahmed shared screenshots of his interaction with Drake (whom he frequently collaborates with) on Twitter.After Ahmed challenged him to match his donation to the National Bail Out fund, Drake sent Ahmed a DM saying he'd donated $100,000 to the organization — but had to sort out an issue with his credit card at first. And the Weeknd posted screenshots of his donations to charitable organizations— which totaled $500,000 — on Instagram, telling followers, "keep supporting our brothers and sisters out there risking everything to push for actual change for our black lives."

The group shared a statement in solidarity with the movement on June 4.

She fights Black Pumas, DaBaby, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Post Malone for the trophy. Swift's six nominations include five for her "Folklore" album or its "Cardigan" single and one for her collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber on an original song for the film version of "Cats".
