1. Grimes is not sure X Æ A-Xii's Viking haircut 'went well'

X Æ A-Xii has a new haircut, although his mother, Grimes, admits it might not have gone quite the way she'd envisioned. "Not sure this haircut went well but he's a Viking now," the singer shared on Instagram, along with pictures of her 8-month-old sporting something faintly resembling a mohawk, with the hair on either side of his head trimmed short. Grimes explained that the look was "inspired by The Last Kingdom on Netflix, which is a masterpiece." Seeing as Grimes once gave herself a haircut she described as "elf demon [with] a pronounced mustache," Little X probably got off easy.
