At EW, our team is fortunate enough to work with some of our favorite stars. But there are plenty of moments where we are left collectively starstruck. Getting to shoot a *Disclosure Day* cover with Steven Spielberg was certainly one of those — especially as he praised our co-directors Alison Wild and Kristen Harding as ones who "get it." I wouldn't be surprised if those words aren't already tattooed on them by now. —*Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*

Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Olivia-Rodrigo-You-Seem-Pretty-Sad-For-A-Girl-So-In-Love-061026-cd724030ca4f41ba8499b492830c9e87.jpg)
Olivia Rodrigo's 'You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love' album cover.
On Rodrigo's third studio album, she challenges the public's perception of her and how she perceives herself. Her first single, "Drop Dead," chronicles the intoxicating early stages of dating a crush, while "The Cure" is a sad ballad about doubts and fear clouding a relationship. The 23-year-old pop star isn't reinventing her aesthetic or sound; instead, the 13-track album feels like an organic progression after the chart-topping *Sour* and *Guts*. Her lyrics include more nuance, but she's still candidly laying her heart out — and giving us moody summer hits. —*Tiffany Kelly, Staff Editor*

Steven Spielberg's new UFO adventure harkens back to the conspiracy thrillers of the '70s and boasts electrifying performances from Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, and Colman Domingo. If you don't already believe in aliens, you'll want to believe by the time the credits roll. —*Wesley Stenzel, News Writer*
