We're screaming! Elyanna joins Abu Dhabi F1 line-up

Cosmopolitan ME21-05-2025
If you thought Elyanna's moment with Coldplay was iconic… you're absolutely right. After stealing the spotlight during their Abu Dhabi show – vocals on point, visuals unforgettable she didn't just perform, she made history.
And now, she's coming back. But this time? It's all her. She's taking the spotlight solo at one of the biggest stages of the year: the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.. And yes, the vibes will be immaculate.
It's a full-circle moment for the Palestinian-Chilean singer, who's been carving her own path from day one.
Elyanna's not your typical pop artist. At just 22, she was the first artist to perform a full set in Arabic at Coachella, blending her unique fusion of Arabic lyrics, Latin rhythms, and dreamy pop energy has carved out a space in global music that feels fresh and deeply rooted at the same time.
Whether it's Ghareeb Alay to the emotional pull of her unreleased tracks, she brings depth, soul, and serious stage presence – and F1 is about to get all of it..
This isn't just another gig – it's a full-on glow-up. She went from sharing the stage with Coldplay to now owning one of the biggest weekends in the region. Elyanna is making it clear: she's not the future of Arabic pop, she's the now.
So if you're heading to F1, don't just go for the race. Go for Elyanna. She's bringing the vocals, the visuals, and the energy. And something tells us this is just the beginning.
Did you know – Elyanna landed a spot on Billboard Arabia's Top 5 female artists?

Astronomer gets Chris Martin's ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow to 'answer' questions after Coldplay controversy

In a surprising turn of events, Astronomer has hired Gwyneth Paltrow to 'answer questions' from the internet. Paltrow and Martin announced their split in 2014, after a decade of marriage. This comes after the company's now former-CEO was mired in controversy after being seen at a Coldplay concert with the firm's HR head. Paltrow, who is a popular actor, says in the video that she has been hired on a "very temporary" basis to answer common questions that people have been asking on the internet. While the star doesn't actually answer any questions or address any real concerns that netizens may have conveyed earlier, the actor does redirect the conversation to the products that the firm already offers. Watch the video below: Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. — Astronomer (@astronomerio) July 25, 2025 Just last week, Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron put in his resignation, according to a statement issued by the tech company. The company said on X, "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met." "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO," they said.

Watch: Kids arriving at DXB get souvenir 'passports' to help them explore city

As the summer heat intensifies in Dubai, crafting an engaging itinerary can be challenging for visitors, with most outdoor attractions becoming virtually inaccessible. To help those coming to the emirate make the best of their stay, Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office, has announced that children arriving at Dubai International Airport (DXB) will receive souvenir 'passports' to help them navigate the vibrant city that thrives all year round. In a video shared by Dubai Media Office on X, kids arriving at Children's Passport Control are shown as they receive their passport from officers, shake hands with airport officials before getting their real travel documents stamped. Take a look here: Dialling up the excitement surrounding the #DubaiDestinations summer campaign, Brand Dubai and the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs partner to highlight the very best of Dubaiâ��s summertime experiences for visitors. @BrandDubai | @GDRFADUBAI — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) July 25, 2025 The colourful passports serve as a guide for young visitors to explore the city, providing them with curated itineraries and interactive guides. By using a QR code in the passport, kids will be directed to Dubai Destinations website for guidance on where to go and what to do in Dubai this summer. The initiative is the fruit of collaboration between Brand Dubai and the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA). Special immigration counters dedicated for children were set up at DXB Terminals 1, 2 and 3 in 2023 to make the arrival process 'more enjoyable and interactive' for children aged between 4 and 12. More than 550,000 children have passed through these counters since they were first opened, GDRFA announced last year.
