Welcome back to The Pop Corner with Matty Durkin!
Your weekly deep dive into the hottest moments in pop culture, music, Broadway, celebrity news, and more!
This week, Matty is reacting to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter World Tour, and he’s absolutely obsessed with Rumi Carter’s viral performance — the internet’s new favorite superstar-in-the-making! He also breaks down Lady Gaga’s record-breaking concert in Brazil, plus gives you the scoop on the biggest music tours coming to the U.S. in 2025/2026.
On the theater front, Matty unpacks the buzz around the 2025 Tony Award nominations — from the most historic and herstoric nods to some jaw-dropping snubs. We’re talking:
After weeks of trying, Matty finally scored tickets to see the one and only Audra McDonald in her incredible, Tony-nominated performance in Gypsy — and yes, she absolutely delivered. But while the show was Broadway magic, the audience? A total mixed bag. Matty dishes on the thrill of finally seeing a legend live… and the chaos that came with it. We’re talking nonstop phone glow, whispers during solos, and yes — a woman sitting in the aisle like she was at home (WTF?!). Theater etiquette is not optional, and Matty’s got thoughts.
