Tegan and Sara are taking their crushes on the road this fall.

The Canadian pop duo will bring the book tour for their new graphic novel Crush to nine North American cities in October. The new book is a follow-up to last year's autobiographical Junior High, and follows the tween twins as they try to survive grade eight.


The book tour will find grown-up Tegan and Sara chatting with writers like Jillian Tamaki, Elamin Abdelmahmoud, and Kosoko Jackson about the new novel. The conversation is sure to get nostalgic, promising to tackle topics like first loves, first songs, and more.

The Quin sisters from Calgary first made their name as an indie rock duo in the 2000s before ascending as pop stars in the 2010s, and have gone on to receive multiple Juno awards, Grammy and GLAAD nominations, and a Governor General's Award for performing art.

In recent years they've expanded into other mediums. The graphic novel series follows their 2019 memoir High School, which was also adapted into a TV show.

The sisters also founded the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which provides funding and support to LGBTQ+ communities across North America, and for which they were named Billboard Canada Power Players in 2024.

See Who Was Nominated — and Who Was Passed Over — in Oscars’ 2025 Music Categories

This is the fifth year in a row that one or more non-English language songs has been nominated for best original song.

Diane Warren received her 16th Oscar nomination for best original song on Thursday (Jan. 23) — a tally equaled by only three other songwriters in the 91-year history of the category. Sammy Cahn leads with 26 nods, followed by Johnny Mercer with 18 and Paul Francis Webster, also with 16. Warren was nominated this year this year for “The Journey,” sung by H.E.R. in The Six Triple Eight.

Moreover, this is the eighth year in a row Warren has been nominated, which enables her to tie Cahn for the longest continuous streak of nominations in this category. Cahn was nominated eight years running from 1954 to 1961.
