Three playlists I love right now

Music is a big part of how I set the mood in my room, so here are the three playlists on rotation right now — and yes, I take requests for all three.
Getting ready 💄
The mirror, the makeup, the first coffee of the night. This is hairbrush-microphone territory.
- “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” — Shania Twain. Canadian girl law: this plays before a big night.
- “Espresso” — Sabrina Carpenter. Sweet, a little cocky, impossible to sit still to.
- “Golden” — Harry Styles. For obvious reasons 💛 It’s practically my theme song at this point.
- “Levitating” — Dua Lipa. By the end of this one I’m not getting ready anymore, I’m arriving.
Late-night lounge 🌙
Second show, lights lower, voices softer. This is the playlist for the crowd that stays.
- “Smooth Operator” — Sade. Some songs are just silk in audio form. This is the silkiest.
- “Wicked Game” — Chris Isaak. Slow, smoky, and it never once misses.
- “At Last” — Etta James. Pure romance. I will not be taking questions.
- “Cabo San Lucas” — Toby Keith. Takes me straight back to the beach every single time. If you know, you know 🏖️
Party mode 🎉
Theme nights, goal celebrations, duo nights with Ember — when the room is loud and nobody’s sitting down.
- “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” — Backstreet Boys. The ultimate throwback hype song, and yes, I will be singing every word.
- “Dancing Queen” — ABBA. Karaoke royalty, and I take this one very seriously 🎤
- “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” — Whitney Houston. The greatest “get up right now” song ever recorded. Science.
- “Uptown Funk” — Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars. The closer. If the room isn’t moving by now, check for a pulse.
