We Drafted the Most Beautiful '90s Pop Stars. Here’s What Happened | Carved in Stone | Episode 25.5

What happens when a fantasy football group chat gets bored in the offseason? You draft the most beautiful pop stars of the 1990s, of course! In this special Carved in Stone .5 episode, seven of us each built a team of four using one simple rule: every pick had to have released at least one song in the 90s. From there, things got competitive. We ranked each team, seeded a mini tournament, and let the votes decide who had the best lineup. The draft features a mix of icons and unexpected picks — from Britney Spears, Shakira, and Mariah Carey to deeper cuts and a few selections that definitely pushed the definition of “pop star,” even when using the term loosely. Did the right team win? Or did we completely miss the mark? Drop your rankings in the comments and let me know who you think drafted the best team.
