Internet Meltdown: Beyoncé Rocks CMAs!

In case you’ve been offline this afternoon, here’s why they Beyhive is tweeting about the Country Music Awards for the first time probably ever: Their queen, Beyoncé herself, is performing at tonight’s 50th annual event.

While there’s no official word on when, what or, well, WHY the pop diva is slated to hit the awards show stage, fans suspect that the country-inflected “Daddy Lessons” from her groundbreaking Lemonade album — which was covered in concert by the Dixie Chicks this year — might have something to do with it. Or maybe, just maybe, it could be the country music industry’s recognition of an iconic contemporary artist who breaks genre boundaries and also happens to be a Black woman — that is to say, notoriously underrepresented in the world of country music. At any rate, people are FREAKING THE F OUT… and also, TBH, feeling a little confused about it all.

The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Cast

Prime Video

Who's Officially Returning For 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Season 3 (& Who's Not)

Considering The Summer I Turned Pretty doesn’t have magic like The Vampire Diaries, treasure hunting like Outer Banks, or quests (at least, not the typical kind), the relationships and character arcs take center stage. That means the cast (and their relationships with one another) has to be believable AND you have to really care about what they’re going through. Good thing this cast is amazing!

Everyone from Lola Tung to Chris Briney is electric every time they're onscreen and I can't wait to see them all again oh so soon. After all, new episodes are coming to Prime Video this summer! Before we press play, here's the rundown of who's returning.

Here’s everyone in The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 cast.
