They were joined by Latinx artists Becky G and Luis Fonsi.  Gaitán slayed in the opening segment with a stunning yellow dress and sparkling earrings and necklace to match the flawless look.  Despite the critical acclaim and commercial success of «We Don't Talk About Bruno,» Disney opted to submit the love song «Dos Oruguitas» from for Oscar consideration, landing it in the Best Original Song category. The song is going up against Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” from, Van Morrison’s “Down to Joy” from , Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s “No Time to Die” from, and Diane Warren’s “Somehow You Do” from .ET spoke with composer and lyricist Miranda earlier this month at the Critics Choice Awards about the impact of «Bruno.»«The first person I got a DM from was [director] Taika Waititi, and he was the first one that was like, 'It's constant with my kids! It's constant right now.

wasn’t actually nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar.Cast members Adassa, Stephanie Beatriz, Mauro Castillo, Carolina Gaitan, and Diane Guerrero performed the infections song alongside the previously announced Becky G and Luis Fonsi and a very unannounced Megan Thee Stallion. And while it indeed was a hoot, it wasn’t exactly the live-action performance many of us were expecting (okay all of us were expecting), especially when the Lin-Manuel Miranda lyrics were swapped out with some platitudes about Oscar night.“Encanto” was nominated elsewhere for Best Original Score (Germaine Franco ultimately lost to Hans Zimmer and his “Dune” music), Best Animated Feature, and Best Original Song (for “Dos Oruguitas”).The song’s placement in the awards show actually raised eyebrows, as ABC started advertising the performance on the first day of Oscar voting, which some nominees felt was tipping the awards towards “Encanto” in an unfair way.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorMegan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa are a formidable team, and award-winning video director Dave Meyers plays to their strengths in the clip for the pair’s new tag-team single, “Sweetest Pie.” Working a similar theme to the one from his video for Saweetie and Doja Cat’s “Best Friend” — hapless explorers of a science-fiction world stumble upon female characters with superpowers — this one turns dark quickly, as the explorers decide Megan and Dua are witches, try to burn them at the stake, and then suffer the consequences of their arrogance. Sure, it’s a not-terribly-serious, special-effect-filled music video, but it’s still a satisfying perspective during Women’s History Month.

Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa unite to bring their fans a hot girl anthem for 2022, and the music video serves supernatural wickedness.Directed by Dave Meyers and produced by Freenjoy, the video features the 27-year-old rapper and 26-year-old singer as the stunning divas they are with an arachnid twist. When two men wander into a mystical forest, they find the duo's lair hidden amongst trees shaped like women's bodies, and they lure them into their fantastical abode.Of course, once they've been ensnared by the gorgeous women and their delicious cake (see what they did there?), they realize they've been captured by deadly predators.

“Sweetest Pie.”The music video, which dropped on Friday, features a mixture of magical, fanatical vibes and sexy booty-popping.The clip was directed by Dave Meyer and the concept was created by Meg herself.The scene opens with a breathtaking waterfall in a grassy green forest.Megan, 27, and Lipa, 26, then pop up on screen sporting black leather hats and gowns, looking rich.Other shots show the “Levitating” singer and the “Body” rapper dancing in bright bejeweled corsets against pastel-colored Versailles-esque backdrops. The backgrounds are reminiscent of “Hansel and Gretel” meets Marie Antoinette.

Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa‘s new song is out now!
