Adrienne Houghton (Bailon)
We all remember Adrienne Bailon from the girl groups 3LW and Cheetah Girls. But how it all started was on October 24, 1983, Adrienne Bailon was born to a Puerto Rican mom named Nilda and an Ecuadorian father named Freddie in Lower East Side, New York City, New York. Adrienne always loved music. She actually started singing when she was five years old. Her and her sister would sing for their family a lot. So Adrienne knew that she was going to be a famous singer one day. That day came true one day while she was singing with church in Madison Square Garden, Ricky Martin approached her and asked if she and four other singers if they could sing backup for him at his concert that night.

Taylor Swift's "LWYMMD" — The Comeback Anthem We Need in 2018
A year ago Taylor Swift disappeared. After a very public break-up and rebound she made a song with her friend Zayn and then melted into the background. Since her first album came out, Taylor Swift has been in the spotlight as a serial monogamist and has been praised and lauded for her open diary policy displayed in her albums. Fans will defend the songstress to their graves while critics will take apart her every action to prove their point, that she's an attention seeking, flighty girl with little patience. She's a lightning rod for just about every kind of gossip. It is no surprise, then, that her latest album got either applauded or criticized by just about every person and news outlet I know.
