Cardi B Smokes 3 Cigarettes At Once To Deal With Election Stress

We all could use a breather after this nail-biter of an election.

With the race still too close to call, it’s not clear whether Joe Biden will become the next President of the United States or if President Donald Trump will be re-elected. Biden is still holding a slight lead in the electoral college votes but he must win in several key states, including Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and more, if he wants to win the entire race.

While it may take all of today, and even a few extra days, to declare the winner in the 2020 Presidential Election, the world is watching intently. Cardi B woke up at 5 AM to cast her vote yesterday and, as she watched the results flash on her television screen, she was as stressed as you and me about what she was seeing.

Some Democratic voters went into the day with the belief that a Biden landslide would occur and, as Cardi B and many others figured out, that was not the case.

“How these elections got me watching these states turn red,” wrote Cardi on Instagram, posting a video of her smoking not one, not two, but three cigarettes simultaneously to dwell the election stress.

Her lungs won’t be thanking her but if that’s what she needs to relax right now — and we all could use some relaxation after this — then that’s what she needs.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
