Sombr says it's "incredibly insane" that people would consider him a child of nepotism. The Grammy nominee addressed nepotism claims in a Tuesday profile with Elle, where he pointed out both of his mother's and father's professional history with amFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. He said he's proud of his parents' work, and doesn't think that specifically his father, Andy Boose, boosted his career. "Every time I see an artist blow up, I'm like, 'OK, this artist is great. I love them so much. They're so talented.' Three months later, somehow they're a nepo baby," Sombr said. "I will forever respect my dad and my mom. I'm so ******* proud of them, because to devote your life to something like that is so incredible and important. To think that that could help me get signed or become a big artist because my dad devotes his life to fight AIDS is just incredibly insane." Boose worked at amFAR for a decade and became the director of special events, he told The World's Best Events in a 2018 interview. He was also a musician, and now serves as the president of AAB Productions, a single-source event management company that has managed and developed charity dinners for amFAR, The Elton John AIDS Foundation, The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, Madonna's Raising Malawi and more, per its website. Bennah Serfaty, the singer's mother, works at the nonprofit as the senior director of public relations.

Peloton announced the launch of "Let Yourself Run," the next chapter of its "Let Yourself Go" brand platform, partnering with Grammy® Award-winning, multi-platinum global superstar Miley to debut the Peloton Tread Flex. The campaign spotlights Miley's new single "Bass Persuades" from her recently released tenth studio album, Bass Persuades, leveraging her status as a Peloton Member who famously trains her lungs on the Peloton Tread. Directed by creative force Bethany Vargas, the dynamic hero spot fuses the rhythm of a run with a powerful soundtrack, highlighting the simple joy of movement and encouraging viewers to unlock their inner athlete. As the next chapter of Peloton's "Let Yourself Go" brand platform, "Let Yourself Run" evolves the narrative by redefining the running experience. The campaign aims to demonstrate how Peloton transforms every run, walk, or hike into an opportunity to move authentically and find a powerful sense of personal release. The hero film captures what movement feels like for Miley: as she steps onto the Peloton Tread Flex, the world falls away, leaving her lighter, freer, and more herself. Through running, music, and choreography, she finds her rhythm alongside Peloton Instructor Adrian Williams, capturing the unique connection between Instructor and Member that is key to transporting the runner. "Movement is essential for me, it's something that enhances any performance that I do. When people see me and Peloton, it's something that's very authentic to me, it's a part of my daily practice. I think all of us can really benefit from running, moving, and dancing - for no reason, for no gain but just being in that moment," said Miley.

Taylor Swift will receive the inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), a new award recognizing groundbreaking music artists whose work behind the camera has expanded the possibilities of music video and advanced the art of visual storytelling. The MTV VMA Artist Director Honors celebrates a sustained and influential body of work from artists who have pushed creative boundaries and developed a clear directorial voice. A seven-time VMAs Best Director nominee and four-time winner, Swift has emerged as one of the most distinctive directors of her generation, using music video as an extension of her songwriting and developing a visual language that blends narrative, symbolism, humor, and autobiographical themes. Her directing work includes videos and films such as "The Fate of Ophelia," "Opalite," "The Man," "cardigan," "willow," "All Too Well: The Short Film," "Anti-Hero," "Bejeweled," "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone, "I Can See You (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)," "Karma" featuring Ice Spice, and "Lavender Haze." Across her work, Swift has brought an increasingly expansive approach to storytelling, creating interconnected narratives, cinematic worlds and recurring details that invite audiences deeper into each project. The inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors recognizes that body of work, while also underscoring the growing role artists play in shaping how their music is brought to life on screen.
