Love.”

Lollapalooza’s producers posted on their socials that Megan Thee Stallion will take Tyler’ place, writing: “Hot girl summer in Chicago. Unfortunately, Tyler, the Creator will not be able to perform this year. See @theestallion headline Lolla on Thursday, August 1st!”  Outside Lands also posted their new lineup on its website, with Carpenter noted as the replacement headliner, marking her first major North American festival headline billing.  Outside Lands wrote on Instagram“We are excited to announce that @sabrinacarpenter will now headline the Lands End stage on Saturday, August 10th! Due to personal reasons, Tyler, the Creator will no longer be performing at Outside Lands.”
