About

Hi! My name is Dana Maynard (or Lovato, Horan, Hemmings, or any of my other celeb crushes last names haha) I am a professional fangirl who would love to share my views on entertainment and popular culture with anyone that cares to listen! I have had a strong passion/obsession for the music and entertainment industry ever since being introduced to Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift and mainstream radio when I was in 5th grade. I’m going to bring you the latest news, reviews of songs, music videos, albums and concerts and everything you need to know about!

My main focus on this blog is music reviews, but don’t limit me, and get all the knowledge of what music to be listening to that you possibly can!

Site Notes:

Disclaimer: I don’t own the rights to any of the media on this website (except for my own concert pics/video), I’m just using it to inform and entertain. ( I know I’m within legal rights anyway since I just inform and critic.)

I plan on updating the site any time during the regular week (because you never know when celebs are gonna do stuff!) If I post it’s probably going to be in the afternoon/evening but follow @dropofpopcul on twitter to know when EXACTLY!! I aim for at least one post per week!

I’d give this blog a PG-13 rating. The entertainment world isn’t always the most clean-cut, so know there’s gonna be a bit of swear words and sex talk.

Note: When I say that I’m reviewing something on here I’ll probably be sharing my reactions to certain bits as well if that’s ok.

This blog matches the excitement level of its author. I’d like to think it’s more fun to read that way!

Speaking of excitement level, any post concerning my queen/main fandom Demi Lovato is bound to get super fun and crazy due to my intense love for her. You’ve been warned! (aka definitely either check those articles out and love them, or run away and straight into my other posts)

Feel free to leave comments on the site or if you have any topic ideas that you’d like me to cover, criticisms, or general comments directly to me, feel free to send me an email at danaannem@hotmail.com or fi;nd me on my social media listed below.
