The sun is shining, spring’s here—and Rolling Stone’s June cover has arrived with Noah Kahan.
We spent the perfect day just outside Nashville at Firetower Farms—fishing, rowing, making fast friends with donkeys and Highland cows, and watching Noah casually rip a dirt bike through the fields.
We closed it out around a campfire, with him strumming some Jason Isbell and a few new songs of his own. Pretty darn magical.
Can’t wait to celebrate him again on the Fourth of July at Rolling Stone’s first music festival.
A tremendous thank you to Danny Clinch @dannybones64 —a true rock star—for making it all feel effortless and unforgettable.

Today, we launch the first of our three 2026 Future of Music covers — and we’re kicking things off with the unstoppable Fuerza Regida.
Photographed by the brilliantly imaginative @david_lachapelle , the shoot celebrates the band’s journey from playing backyard neighborhood parties to becoming global stars. To bring that story to life, we literally threw a block party on the streets of Los Angeles — music, community, and Fuerza Regida. We even had the LAPD sent a helicopter for a flyover to make sure everything was good. 🚁
From the neighborhood to the world stage — Fuerza Regida is here to conquer the world.

On December 20, 2010, the universe sent NYC a big, beautiful snowstorm—and topped it by sending me my most precious gift. The best day of my life.
Watching @_sophiaryan.nyc grow into such an intelligent, empathetic, and deeply loving human has been my greatest joy. I’m endlessly proud of who you are and so excited to watch you keep taking on the world. ❄️💙💙
Happy birthday to the greatest sister—my forever favorite human. Our bond is truly special, even if you tried to convince me I was found in a dumpster, warned me I’d die from eating fruit seeds, and definitely wanted to kill me at least 100 times growing up. Still obsessed with you. Always have, always will. 💖
