STREAM UND DRANG

At the Spotify House CMA Week installation at Nashville's Ole Red, the Spot's Global Head of Music, Jeremy Erlich, foolishly accepted a dare from artist Russell Dickerson to try the "pretty-hot" hot chicken and subsequently learned that it's possible to sweat from your eyeballs. Seen girding themselves for the global Sriracha shortage are (l-r) Spotify's Claire Heinichen, Andy Sloan-Vincent, Dan Franquemont and Mary Catherine Kinney, Dickerson and the streamery's Alison Junker, Rachel Whitney and Erlich.

Managers Matt Graham (l) and Chris Kappy flank singer Hailey Whitters, whose performance occasioned considerable buzz. Later, the three enjoyed 378 viewings of Ivanka Trump confessing, "I accepted what he said."


"I'm just here researching my role as Daniel Ek in the next Mission Impossible flick," explains superstar thespian Tom Hanks. Seen before undertaking a karaoke megamix of "That Thing You Do" are (l-r) Nelly, Rita Wilson, Hanks, Tyler Hubbard and Hayley Hubbard.
