You Can Finally Add Music To Your Instagram Stories

Good news people  – you’ll no longer see the ‘Instagram Music is not available in your region’ pop-up when scrolling through Instagram Stories as Facebook Canada has finally launched the music function for its users in the North.

Announced at an intimate media gathering in Toronto’s west end last night, the new rollout (side note: we will never not hear this word in Eugene Levy’s voice anymore) allows users to add songs and lyrics to photos and videos. The new function features a variety of options for lyrics display, all of which can be resized like regular stickers. There is also a new music questions sticker available that allows followers to respond with a song from the Instagram music library.

In addition to a roster of international artists, users can also feature music from Canadian musicians on their Instagram Stories. Featuring local talent was particularly important to the company. Indigenous hip hop stars Yung Trybez and Young D of Snotty Nose Rez Kids said in a statement, “We are working to bring a voice to Indigenous experiences to empower our youth, and to ensure greater representation in music here on Turtle Island (Canada) and around the world. We’re excited to see Facebook and Instagram launch these new tools and provide a platform for us to better reach and connect with our fans.” For Quebec pop singer Marie-Mai, the new feature allows her “to connect more deeply with fans [and] gives my music a platform to be heard around the world.”

The music feature is also available on Facebook, and stories shared across the two platforms will be able to have the same song. Facebook users will also be able to pin songs to the top of their profiles.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
