Troye Sivan

TIME has revealed its 2026 TIME100 Next list, honouring emerging and influential figures shaping the future. Among the musicians recognised are RAYE, Sombr, Troye Sivan and Conan Gray, alongside other artists and public figures highlighted by Billboard. The annual list typically spotlights rising leaders, entertainers and innovators, and the inclusion of several pop and R&B acts has drawn attention from music fans worldwide.

Troye Sivan's fragrance line is being praised as standing well above the usual standard of celebrity perfumes. New York Magazine's review argues that most celebrity fragrances feel like cash grabs, while Sivan's offerings show genuine care in their composition and branding. The review is fueling fresh conversation about which celebrities take their product lines seriously and which simply license their names.

Troye Sivan says Madonna gave her blessing without any hassle when he asked to sample her 2000 track 'Music' for his song 'Party'. He said she 'made it super easy' during the approval process. The comments shed light on the collaboration behind his recent release and highlight Madonna's willingness to let younger artists build on her catalog.

TIME has announced its 2026 TIME100 Next list recognising emerging leaders, with a strong showing from music. British singer RAYE and rising American artist Sombr are among the honourees, alongside Australian pop star Troye Sivan and US singer-songwriter Conan Gray. The list highlights figures shaping the next generation of culture, entertainment and public life, and fans are celebrating the musicians' inclusion.
