A Retro Pop Celebration
Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers took the stage at the 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards to deliver a spirited rendition of t.A.T.u’s iconic single “All the Things She Said.” The duo, known for their sharp comedic timing, infused the performance with a retro‑pop energy that immediately captured the audience’s attention.
The numbers were bolstered by the cast of The Hunting Wives, whose coordinated movements added a theatrical layer to the routine. Adding a playful twist, the choreography incorporated hockey motifs, turning the stage into a rink of glittering skates and stylized passes that paid homage to the award show’s custom channel focus on hockey.
During the performance, Yang and Rogers highlighted the track as one of five contenders for the Culture Award for Record of the Year. The nomination placed the 2000s anthem alongside a diverse slate of songs, including Meg Stalter’s “Prettiest Girl in America” and a mix of early‑2000s classics such as Mandy Moore’s “Only Hope” and the Pokémon theme.
The other nominees for the top honor reflected a blend of eras and genres, underscoring the awards’ celebration of cultural touchstones that span generations. From contemporary viral talent to nostalgic pop staples, the shortlist illustrated the event’s eclectic palate.
This marked the fifth consecutive year that Yang and Rogers have served as hosts of the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, a role that originated from their popular podcast of the same name. Their recurring presence has helped shape the ceremony into a unique fusion of comedy, music, and pop‑culture commentary.
The evening concluded with a palpable sense of nostalgia and novelty, as fans of the original t.A.T.u era and newer listeners alike recognized the song’s enduring appeal. The performance not only entertained but also reinforced the awards’ reputation for spotlighting innovative artistic expressions.
