What’s up, Trendsetters? It’s Max Buzz coming at you live with the freshest, most electric pulse of pop culture in 2025. Buckle up because we’re diving straight into the glow-up moments lighting up music, TikTok, and celeb scenes right now.

First off, let’s talk Grammys—2025’s music scene is straight fire. Doechii made history as only the third Black woman to snag Rap Album of the Year with *Alligator Bites Never Heal*. Her blend of jazz, R&B, and musical theater gave us raw, unfiltered bars, and her live show featuring “Catfish” and “Denial is a River” was absolutely iconic. Meanwhile, Chappel Roan took home New Artist of the Year and turned heads with her electric “Pink Pony Club.” Oh, and we can’t forget Beyoncé finally snagging Album of the Year for *Cowboy Carter,* channeling that Texas country vibe with style. Kendrick Lamar was the night’s biggest winner, sweeping multiple awards including Song of the Year for “Not Like Us” and delivering a jaw-dropping Super Bowl performance packed with a political statement featuring SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, and Serena Williams. Music and activism? Legendary combo. Oh, and yes, Spiritbox got double Grammy nods—and although Gojira took home Best Metal Performance, Spiritbox is definitely squad goals right now.

Sliding over to the Oscars, musicals took center stage. *Emilia Pérez* swept several awards, and the after-party was next-level with Chappel Roan and Elton John performing “Pink Pony Club.” Mick Jagger showed up to present Best Original Song, and Miley Cyrus dropped in for Best Sound. Talk about star power!

Now, TikTok’s July 2025 vibe is a whole mood. Body positivity is booming with Latto’s “Big Mama” anthem, where creators celebrate their curves, height, and power like a boss. It’s all about flipping the script and owning confidence in every shape and size. The “There Was a Time” carousel trend is killing it too—users juxtapose their serene present selves with past wild moments to show growth and nostalgia, all set to that dreamy “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby” track by Cigarettes After Sex. Plus, the hilarious “With the Marketing Girl” trend is crushing it, pulling back the curtain on viral content creation in the most awkward, quirky, and relatable ways. Middle-aged employees jumping in on dances? Comedy gold.
