Grace went on Instagram and had a pretty long session (45 minutes). She played snippets of new songs she has been working on recently with Garage Band and then played some snippets of songs that will presumably be on Letters, Volume II (apparently that was recorded prior to the pandemic as she mentioned she has a call tomorrow to decide on the order of the tracks). After than she began using fan comments to go on different topical rants.
I loved how excited she was about these songs and if they are any indication, Letters, Volume II will be even more of a banger than the first part. She really seems to be stretching her sound and experimenting. Few teen pop artists have the same level of creativity: Billie Eilish does; Tate McRae and Emily Bear potentially could (Emily already is in the jazz field but she is just starting to find her way in pop). I'm sure there are a few others I have neglected to mention and feel free to them to the list.
One of the funnier moments occurred during the end when there was a sudden rush of people joining to ask her to guest someone named Meghan. You can bring someone else on your screen so they can interact with the audience as well and artists will often do this with their producers, members of their band, etc. Occasionally, they will even bring a fan (usually one they know) on to talk. Lately with all the artists having such sessions online during the lockdown, some people have been joining Instagram live sessions of entertainers with all their friends and they will all ask them to guest this one person and claim it is their birthday. Some have been good-natured enough to guest them and that person then either starts insulting them or using foul language or mooning the audience and other examples of middle school behavior. Being a teenager, Grace apparently was up on this prank and when they all were requesting she guest someone named Megan as she was signing off, she responded "Bye. I hate you Meghan" while smiling all the way through. She punked the punker.

April, I hope you are recovering\have recovered successfully and that family is all well. We are all well. Thank you. Hope you guys are too, and hope everyone here is ok. I worry about essential workers. My hubby and my kids are working from home. DIL is a pediatric doc, so is working, but her specialty. And sub specialties aren’t exposing her like many med workers. Hubby has a coworker who thinks he and wife caught it from petting the family dog who doesn’t maintain social distancing on walks :-\ .

I finally re-watched Grace's benefit concert stream. I'm a little less critical now, but still think she should take these things more seriously. I also watched all 45 minutes of the stream AMG1977 posted. Tantalizing new music was the highlight for me. Girl gotz talent yo. I really admire her, but man is she scattered sometimes. I'm a really low energy person, and even when I was her age I would have found her tiring to be around. She's funny though, and I felt sorry for her when she said she was lonely. Being cooped up is a drag for anyone who needs the energy of other people around them.

Disney Vevo just posted the "Be True to Your School" segment from Stargirl. I thought it was cool that they broke out into a music video-like performance, without going full musical with the film. If you haven't seen the movie, this is a scene that shows how everything is going perfectly because of the "good-luck charm" that the students have decided Stargirl is for them. In the trailer (and early in the film) the band is really crappy, so this performance contrasts to that in an amusing way. Look for Artemis (Elena House) in the scene also:

Socalfan, sorry I’m so off topic these days. Jackie isn’t really singing anymore, and her family is off limits to me now. But I wish them well. J

Eulenspiegal, I am now enamored with Jacob Collier and with Laetitia Hahn (and Bear’s great grandma is a classic beauty :-). Thanks for those.

I'm staying with my mom during the Coronavirus house arrest period. Over the years, she has become a Jackie fan and listens to her CDs much more than I do. Mom doesn't follow entertainment news and she asked me what has been going on with Jackie. These are the updates I gave her: 1) Jackie's career appears to be slowing down as her "the Debut" CD wasn't a huge seller
2) Jackie appears to be the character, "Kitty" on the Masked Singer show. She hopes that this move will get her noticed in the pop world.
3) Jackie's brother Jacob is now a girl 4) Jackie's father is having an affair with a stylist
5) Jackie is a close friend with the stylist's daughter 6) Jackie's mother is having an affair with a trans female 7) Jackie's parents are getting divorced and the entire family is still living together Did I get anything wrong or is there anything missing?

That covers it. Except I would substitute "relationship" for "affair" since "affair" suggests something clandestine whereas all the relationships are out in the open.

For all we know, the divorce may have preceded, or at least been decided on, before the involvement of the new partners (a more proper sequence, if you accept divorce). Therefore, I think "affair" may be a bit judgmental choice of words. Also, your 5 might have preceded 4 in time. Other than that, your list seems reasonably consistent with the Facebook post, save that they're all together now because Jackie's other residence (subleased condo in NYC Hell's Kitchen area) is not a good place to be right now; Jackie, her father, and his new significant other and her daughter, presumably returned to Pittsburgh from wherever they'd been before that. The home north of Pittsburgh is large enough, and the location not densely populated, so it's the safest option for all right now.
