2. Børns (real name: Garrett Clark Borns) became an electropop darling in the 2010s, opening for acts such as Halsey and Bleachers. But then, in 2018, just after finishing up a tour with Lana del Rey, he was accused of sexual misconduct and grooming underage fans. Despite Borns denying the accusations, he was dropped from the All Things Go Fall Classic festival.
He took a long break from the public eye but quietly released an independent EP last year after being dropped from his label in 2020. This year, he wrote on Instagram that he did not groom anyone and that all relationships he had were consensual, but acknowledged “that I shouldn’t have engaged in relationships with fans,” saying, “I apologize to the women involved and hope they’ve found happiness. I didn’t show them the level of respect I could have in our communication or lack thereof, and I was irresponsible with their feelings.”
