Mix 98.1 The perfect desserts to pair with our favorite pop songs of 2020

The perfect desserts to pair with our favorite pop songs of 2020

This is too sweet

While doing anything we practically can to stay calm as we await the results of the 2020 Presidential Election, we are here to offer up the perfect distraction. We’ve curated a pairing of pop songs and desserts that would go perfectly together. From Lady Gaga, Megan Thee Stallion, and BLACKPINK bops to sugary treats galore, we have a list of treats for your ears and tastebuds that are sure to make your day just a little sweeter.

Katy Perry’s 'Smile' and Funnel Cake

Based on her whole clown motif that Katy associated with her fifth studio album it only makes sense to pair this carnival staple with this bubbly track. Grab your frying pan and powdered sugar and turn up the volume on “Smile.”

Ariana Grande’s 'Positions' and Whipped Cream

Since Ari is “Cookin' in the kitchen and I'm in the bedroom” we figured the best dessert to pair with this sexy track would be a dessert that is notorious for being incorporated into some more intimate moments. Hit the bedroom with your boo and don’t forget the Reddi Whip.

Lady Gaga’s 'Sour Candy' and Sour Patch Watermelon

Ok ok, we know this is obvious, but we couldn’t resist the sweet and sour temptation. The Lady Gaga track which boasts a feature from BLACKPINK gives us a sugar rush every time we hear Gaga sing “I'm hard on the outside / But if you give me time / Then I could make time for your love.”

Dua Lipa’s 'Hallucinate' and Brownies

Do you get where we’re going with this? Considering New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and more just voted to legalize Marijuana, might we gently suggest pairing Dua’s best track from Future Nostalgia with a brownie that features some trippy ingredients? Or chocolate is fine too. Do you!

Megan Thee Stallion’s 'Savage' and 14k Gold Chocolate Cake

“Classy, bougie, ratchet,” basically we chose the most decadent and luxurious dessert out there to match this hot girl’s bougie tastes and “Savage” demeanor.

BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez’s 'Ice Cream' and duh, Ice Cream

Don’t hate, we know this is a freebie, but we have a very specific image of what kind of ice cream you should be eating while listening to this bop. We imagine a giant strawberry ice cream sundae covered in rainbow sprinkles, hot fudge, whipped cream, and multiple maraschino cherries gracing your kitchen table, and yes it's a requirement that it has to be a giant serving of ice cream.
