Sophie Lloyd: 5 Things To Know About Machine Gun Kelly’s Guitarist

Sophie Lloyd has been making headlines recently as the guitarist for Machine Gun Kelly‘s world tour — and as Megan Fox‘s potential hookup. That’s right, amid the breakup rumors swirling around the “Bloody Valentine” singer, 32, and Transformers actress, 36, Megan joked on her since-deactivated Instagram in Feb. 2023 that she “maybe” hooked up the blonde musician, per POPSUGAR. So, who is Sophie Lloyd? Read on to learn five things about MGK’s Mainstream Sellout World Tour guitarist.

1. Sophie Has Been Playing Guitar Since She Was 10 Years Old

Sophie’s official website said she started off as a “bedroom guitarist”, but her credentials suggest anything but. The 27-year-old musician graduated from the prestigious BIMM Institute (formerly known as The British and Irish Modern Music Institute) in 2018 and released her first EP, Delusions, while she was in school, according to her YouTube channel. Music was always important to Sophie, which she explains on her official website. “I started playing guitar when I was around 10 years old after listening to Led Zeppelin in the car with my dad,” she said. “Because I was a bit of an outcast, I had a lot of time to practice and this gave me an escape from reality, helped me overcome my anxieties and really gave me a sense of fulfillment.” 

Sophie always took mastering the guitar seriously. Her website also says she rarely socialized while growing up and instead would stay home to practice her craft.

2. Sophie Is Taken

Sophie is in a long-term relationship with drummer Christopher Painter, who goes by the name “The Painter”. They have been together for five years, as the rock drummer shared a fifth-anniversary snap to his Instagram feed in Jan. 2023 to celebrate the milestone. “Today marks a very special day. It was the day I asked you to be my partner in crime. And 5 years later that is still very accurate,” he captioned a photo of them playing their respective instruments together. “Thank you for everything you do. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, kindness, generosity, care, silliness and your love. @sophieguitar_ …You get me like no one else does and have been my rock for 5 solid years.”

On their first anniversary, Sophie called Christopher “gorgeous” and her “best friend” alongside a slideshow of loved up snapshots of them together, as seen below.

The Painter plays drums for Sophie when she’s not touring with a world-famous musician, according to his Instagram page. He’s seemingly also her No. 1 fan, as he’s posted himself supporting her from the sidelines multiple times as she toured around the world with the “my ex’s best friend” hitmaker. He even praised Machine Gun Kelly and his band during summer 2022.

“Yo Kels thanks for bringing Sophie back in one piece,” he joked in the caption of a picture with the superstar. “Don’t bother with any of the b******* you read about MGK online. From what I experienced, they are the most amazing group of people you could meet. The MGK camp have been so incredible to Sophie and have also made me feel so welcomed, and will always be grateful for that.”

3. Sophia Is A YouTube Star

Sophie began her YouTube account in 2011 and gained a large following as she consistently posted videos of her absolutely shredding. Her account has more than 800,000 followers as of this writing and is still growing. She posts several videos a month, despite her busy schedule. In addition to musical videos, she sometimes gives her fans behind-the-scenes views of her rockstar life by creating daily vlogs. She has posted vlogs on Instagram as well, as seen below.

4. Sophie Is A Partner With Kiesel Guitars

Sophie teamed up with American guitar brand Kiesel Guitars in 2020 to launch a Limited Artist Edition of her A6H Aries electric guitar. It was crafted in Kiesel’s Custom Shop in Escondido, Calif. and created with Sophie’s specifications, according to Guitar World. “Having an Artist Series guitar has been one of my aspirations since I was a kid, and to have one with my favorite guitar company is just mind-blowing,” she said at the time. “Ever since I got this guitar it’s provided me with so much inspiration and creativity which has really taken my playing to the next level, and I’m so excited for everyone to try it and fall in love with it as much as I have.”

She also gave the company some love in Feb. 2022. “All the hard work and thought behind each and every guitar is so amazing and inspiring to see, so honored to be a part of this amazing company,” she wrote alongside a carousel of pics from her time at the shop, as seen above.

5. Sophie Has Big Plans

Touring with MGK seems to be just the start for Sophie and her dreams. On her website, she revealed she would love to make collaborative albums with Guns N’ Roses lead guitarist Slash, Joe Satriani, Grammy Award winner Steve Vai, and others. She has dreams of making an impact on the world’s youth as well. “I’d also love to do some kind of tour where I go around to different primary/secondary schools and do a masterclass to encourage younger, especially girls, to pick up the guitar,” she said. “And finally I’d like to have my own custom line of guitars with a company that people can buy.”

Sophie Lloyd, the British guitarist, has been making quite the impact with her performances during Machine Gun Kelly’s world tour. Kom hier met haar samen.

‘Jawan’ to mint Rs 70 crore on opening day

 

​With a 5 am show in Kolkata, a 6 am one in Jaipur and tickets flying off the proverbial shelf, Bollywood theatrical releases — most recent being “Gadar 2” and “OMG 2″ — are raking it in.Mumbai-based trade expert Komal Nahta agreed with Biji’s estimate.”The situation is crazy across single-screen theatres and multiplexes both. It is difficult to predict the business. It will at least do Rs 70 crore on day one (in India),” Nahta told PTI.In Delhi, the film releases ahead of the G20 Summit on September 9-10 with several heads of state, including US President Joe Biden, set to attend the event. While the city will remain open during the weekend, restrictions will be imposed on a small part of the NDMC area.Bijli said he is not worried about the theatrical business taking a hit in central Delhi because of G20 restrictions. It would mean four PVR theatres — PVR Plaza, Rivoli, Odeon and ECX Chanakyapuri — shut during the summit.”They are single screen theatres with a total capacity of about 2,000 seats so that really wouldn’t have much of an impact because the loss for that will be compensated by the fact that Delhi has a four-day weekend,” he said.About 30-35 per cent of the film’s business will come from the South, which again is bigger than the numbers made by “Pathaan”, added Bijli.The buzz around “Jawan” is also high in south India as a majority of the cast and crew hail from the region, said Chennai-based trade analyst Ramesh Bala.”The advance booking is looking good all over India, certainly so in the South as well. There are early morning shows in the south. It is a big release here for all the states combined because the cast and crew are from the South.”So the buzz is more. Looking at the advance booking response for the film, I think on day one, the film should do Rs 20 to 25 crore from the South market, and overall, it should do Rs 70 to 75 crore across India. If the movie is reasonably good, then the lifetime business of the movie will be Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 crore,” Bala told PTI.It’s not just in the South.Theatre chain Miraj Cinema, which has 182 plus screens across India, said it has already sold 28,000 tickets.”Due to overwhelming public demand, we’ve broken new ground by adding a 5 am show for a Hindi film in Kolkata, a first in our cinema’s history. Jaipur will experience the earliest screening at 6.05 am in Hindi, setting a record for the city,” Amit Sharma, MD of Miraj Entertainment Ltd, said in a statement.Senior distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal, said many theatres in Rajasthan will also hold early morning shows of “Jawan” due to the unprecedented response.”After almost 30 years in Rajasthan, we are having 6 am shows for ‘Jawan’. In the past, this happened with Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Hum’,” Bansal, director of Jaipur’s three-screen multiplex Entertainment Paradise, told PTI.In Mumbai, Gaiety-Galaxy, a prominent single-screen theatre, about 90 per cent of its seats are sold out.”Almost 80 to 90 per cent booking is done so far; by Thursday it will be houseful. We are happy with the golden run of movies in theatres, especially in single-screen theatres. I think because of ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Gadar 2’, the business in single screen has revived. The industry has bounced back in a big way. With ‘Jawan’ things are looking positive,” Manoj Desai, executive director of Gaiety, Galaxy and Maratha Mandir Cinema, told PTI.As screens open up for advance bookings in various cities, the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film are also seeing enthusiastic support although the Hindi version is naturally taking the lead, Ashish Saksena, COO – Cinemas, BookMyShow, said in a statement.”What is interesting to note is that the Hindi language version of the film has seen maximum interest from markets in South and East India such as Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Chennai amongst others,” he added.According to Bijli, 2023, particularly the months of July-August, have been great for the exhibition sector with the back-to-back successes of both Hollywood and Hindi movies such as “Mission Impossible 7”, “Oppenheimer”, “Gadar 2”, “OMG 2” and “Dream Girl 2″.”Movie going (experience) has come back. ‘Jawan’ has a lot going for itself. The film has Shah Rukh Khan, who has delivered ‘Pathaan’, a Rs 525 crore movie,” he said.That film releases on Janmashtami, when many people celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna, and a weekend follows one day later is expected to boost sales.Rajkot-based distributor Ajay Bagdai said the advance booking for “Jawan” looks promising as Gujarat will have a holiday weekend due to Janmashtami.”At my theatre in Rajkot, we have 1,100 seats and so far we have sold about 750 tickets, only for September 7. On the first day, the pan-India business should be at least around Rs 50 to 60 crore,” Bagdai added. 

Shah Rukh Khan’s next movie “Jawan” is expected to outperform the opening day grossing of “Pathaan” from earlier in the year. It is projected that Jawan should reach nearly 70 crore in earnings on its premiere day at the theaters.
