Top 10 musical artists that need to perform at Notre Dame Stadium

Who do you want to see play in South Bend?

According to the website setlist.fm, Johnny Cash was the first artist to play at Notre Dame Stadium in 1977. That would be the last musical performance at the stadium until Chicago played at halftime of the Irish’s 2017 game against USC. Since then, Chicago has come back for one other game, and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have played there twice apiece. Weezer appeared there for the 2019 Winter Classic, and Billy Joel played a full show there in 2022.

Other than that, Notre Dame Stadium has a very paltry history when it comes to hosting big musical acts. I don’t know or care what’s behind that. I just want to see Notre Dame Stadium become a hot spot for concerts like most other stadiums around the world are when they don’t have games to host. Plus, such things only can be a boost to South Bend’s economy, and those shouldn’t have to happen only during football season.

Here are 10 artists I believe need to add Notre Dame Stadium to their next tour:

Lizzo played a cookie flute for Elmo on Sesame Street before Cookie Monster ate it

Do not let the Cookie Monster near a cookie flute. It will not go well.

While Sesame Street has always come through for outrageously great celebrity cameos, this recent appearance by music sensation Lizzo might take the (cookie) cake for 2023.

In a segment posted on Twitter, Lizzo and Elmo admire a flute made of chocolate chip cookie. It’s both an homage to Lizzo’s famous ability to play the flute, and, y’know, the Cookie Monster would probably eat it.

As you could guess, the blue monster enters frame soon after and devours Lizzo’s cookie flute after the latter gets in a little playing time. On Sesame Street, you can play a cookie flute, and no one will ask questions.

What Cookie Monster does after consuming the cookie flute is actually pretty impressive, even for Sesame Street standards.

Look, we’re not saying that you’ll be able to play your torso like a flute if you consume a cookie flute, but we’re not saying you can’t, either. Clearly the Cookie Monster could. Set your goals high!

Lizzo is having a fantastic 2023 so far, and this Sesame Street appearance has to be near the top of the list.

5 great things about the 2023 Grammys, including Lizzo, Harry Styles and that astonishing hip-hop tribute

Lizzo! 50 years of hip-hop! Harry Styles!

The 2023 Grammys have come and gone, leaving everyone with plenty of Beyoncé takes, new Ben Affleck memes and stellar performances to rewatch over and over again.

The night’s biggest moments featured Beyoncé both becoming the most-decorated artist in Grammy history and controversially losing the Best Album honor for a fourth time. Queen Bey was also late to the show because she was stuck in Los Angeles traffic.

The show also featured some hilarious Ben Affleck clips, some incredible tribute performances and great little moments like Adele meeting Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

The Grammys always land with a bang and leave plenty of people both amazed and frustrated.

Rather than dwell on the negative, let’s break down five great things about this year’s installment.

Stefon Diggs is investigating Lizzo’s mysterious Vikings reference on ‘Truth Hurts’

Who is the “new man on the Minnesota Vikings”?

It’s a question that’s on everyone’s minds after listening to Lizzo’s hit, Truth Hurts.

Who IS the “new man on the Minnesota Vikings”?

That’s also something Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs is wondering. And he says he’s not the anonymous player mentioned by the singer.

On Thursday, Diggs was asked by Sports Illustrated if he knows who the player is and he responded, “Nobody has come forth and said anything. … I’ve asked my teammates, nobody has said anything. But we’re going to get to the bottom of it, I promise.”

Stefon Diggs is on the case!! But maybe we’ve already found out some info about the player?

First, here’s the moment with SI Now:

As BET.com pointed out, Lizzo has confirmed a Viking was in her DMs and she went out a date with him (it’s also worth noting the song was released in 2017, so it could be a Viking who’s no longer with the team). And in May, the singer performed in her native Detroit and, per the Free Press, this happened:

With her 2017 single “Truth Hurts” now bounding onto the charts thanks to the Netflix movie “Someone Great,” the singer offered up a tidbit about the “boy problems” referenced on the track.

“Y’all want to know a secret?” she told the Saint Andrew’s crowd. “The person I wrote that song about is from Detroit.”

Now, that could mean the Viking is a Detroit native … but what if the song is about two men, one of whom is the new one who played for the Vikings? And maybe the Detroit guy isn’t him?

The mystery continues … but maybe Diggs will figure it out.
