- Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers delivered a performance of t.A.T.u.'s 'All the Things She Said' at Bravo's 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards, backed by dancers in hockey gear with phallic hockey-stick choreography and steamy window staging
- Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman of 'The Hunting Wives' cameoed, singing a few bars and staging an over-the-top fake-out makeout during the routine
- The hosts' preceding monologue singled out shows like 'The Hunting Wives' and 'Heated Rivalry' as 'all about gay sexual tension between the main characters,' prompting Yang's quip, 'So, why would this show be any different?'
- 'All the Things She Said' was nominated for the Culture Award for Record of the Year, a category that's a deliberate bit — the only genuinely new release among nominees is Meg Stalter's 'Prettiest Girl in America,' while the other slots went to the t.A.T.u. track, Mandy Moore's 'Only Hope,' and the Pokémon theme song
- The 2026 show marks Yang and Rogers' fifth year hosting the Culture Awards and the second time the event has been televised, with the special now streaming on Peacock
Why it matters: The performance crystallizes how 2025–26's buzziest TV moments — queer-coded tension in shows like 'Heated Rivalry' and 'The Hunting Wives' — have become inescapable pop-culture reference points, and Yang and Rogers used the televised Culture Awards to turn that into a single campy set piece for a mainstream Bravo audience.
