What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBella Poarch's debut album is called Picnic at the Cemetery, and Reuters sat down with her in London to ask about it.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI've seen what the algorithm suggests. It suggests a dance. It has never once suggested a headstone with sandwiches.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe album revisits the experiences that shaped her long before algorithms entered the picture. She's twenty-nine, and she became famous as a viral TikTok star.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMore than seventy-five million views in a week, per Warner Records. And my question is still who brought the potato salad.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorShe also told Reuters she'd love to produce for other artists. A cemetery picnic is a bold first reference.
