Francis Lawrence deserves a lotta recognition for what he’s brought for the Hunger Games franchise since Catching Fire. He made such tremendous effort in his care and level of directing throughout the films

So tired of people downplaying and dismissing these movies. THG is probably one of the most solid franchises out there – every movie in this series is so well-crafted and compelling. I will never understand why so many people sleep on the hunger games.

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
