Olivia Rodrigo pulled double duty on Saturday Night Live's May 2 episode, serving as host and musical guest. Her reward was the second-highest overall ratings of the season, as per LateNighter.com. The only episode that ranked higher this season was another one hosted by a pop superstar: Ariana Grande's Christmas episode.
Kesha says the only time she was ever dumped by a man was over Taylor Swift — sort of. Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kesha told host Alex Cooper, "The guy I was dating, I kind of like thought he was probably a starf*****, and I was like, 'I'm just going to test this theory.' So I went to the Eras [Tour, and] after the tour, there was a little party. And I was just like, 'I'm going to pop in, take my girlfriend, I'm not going to take the boyfriend.'" Kesha says the guy threw a "tantrum" and "came over the next day, dropped the key off and that was it."
Now that Justin Bieber's 2012 single "Beauty and a Beat" is a hit all over again, the man who co-wrote it would like to nominate some of his other hits to find a second life this year. Speaking to Billboard, Savan Kotecha, who has co-written dozens of hits for other stars, chose “One Last Time” by Ariana Grande, because "it's really important to me," and One Direction's “What Makes You Beautiful,” "because it’s about my wife."
Clay Aiken will debut his new single, "Rewind," on the season finale of American Idol on May 11. The song was co-written and produced by noted DJ/remixer Dave Audé, who has worked with everyone from Lady Gaga, U2 and Katy Perry to Rihanna, Britney Spears and Madonna.

Ariana Grande's upcoming Eternal Sunshine tour launches in exactly one month — June 6 — and Ari has seemingly revealed one song that will be on the set list.
Ari posted video of herself on Instagram rehearsing the song "Dangerous Woman," the title track of her 2016 album, which peaked at #8 on the Hot 100. She captioned the video, "Our first time running this song since swt," likely referring to her Sweetener tour, which concluded in 2019.
She continued, "happy ten years of dangerous woman, happy one month til tour, happy petal preorder. see you in a month i love you so much." Petal, Ariana's new album, is due out July 31.
Since her Sweetener tour concluded, Ariana has released two albums, Positions and Eternal Sunshine, as well as a deluxe edition of the latter, so she'll have plenty of new material to add to the set. The tour is set to run through Sept. 1.
Harry Styles, 'Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally' (Columbia Records)
Harry Styles has got legs and he knows how to use them.
They're featured prominently in a teaser for his new single and video "Dance No More," which is coming out on Thursday. In the brief clip, we see a pair of bare legs — which seemingly belong to Harry — in high-top sneakers and short shorts, walk out onto what looks like a gym floor. Then we cut to a shot of Harry wearing a hoodie and, um, licking a microphone.
"Dance No More," from Harry's album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., was inspired by his friend Chloe, who's a DJ. The way he explained it was, one night Chloe was dancing with Harry and their other friends at a club, and someone said, "Oh, it's so nice to have you down [on the floor] with us." To which Chloe replied, "I know! DJs don't dance anymore."
"Dance No More" will be the third video Harry has made for a song from the album, after "Aperture" and "American Girls." It drops Thursday at 12 p.m. ET.

Despite the internet being convinced they're going to be wed over Fourth of July weekend in New York City, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven't officially revealed any details about their upcoming nuptials. However, there is one thing about the couple's wedding that Travis says he's particularly excited about.
Golf champ Rory McIlroy, who just won the Masters for the second year in a row, is the guest on the latest episode of Travis and his brother Jason Kelce's New Heightspodcast. During a discussion of what it's like to attend the Masters Champions Dinner, Rory said, "It's an incredible night, to be sitting in that room. It's a bit like, um, and Travis, you'll feel this this year whenever you're sitting at your wedding and you have all the people in a room from, like, [your entire life]."
"It's amazing to have all these people in the same room, from your childhood to people that you've — like, it's just, you're just sitting there, and it's like surreal. It's like unbelievable," Rory continued.
"I can't wait," Travis chuckled.
"The only thing that I can compare it to is your wedding day because it's like all this collection of people in the same room. It's, like, wild," he concluded. Travis repeated, "I can't wait."
Taylor also came up in a discussion about how she's changed Travis for the better. "He's more adventurous with food," Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce, revealed.
"Yeah, I'm more of a man when I'm around her and eating foods I haven't tried before, yes," Travis said with mock indignation.
Podcast producer Brandon Borders then joked that Taylor feeds Travis using "little airplane noises," like you'd use to feed a toddler.

If you buy Selena Gomez's house, you'll be getting a place that was home to not one but two musical luminaries.
According to Realtor.com, Selena's home in Encino, California, where she lived before she and husband Benny Blanco bought a house together, is now on the market for $6.49 million. She purchased the six-bedroom, 8 1/2-bathroom home, which measures 11,500 square feet, in 2020 for just under $4.9 million.
It was formerly the home of the late Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tom Petty, who custom built it in 1989 and owned it until a few months before his death in 2017.
Among the home's amenities are a home theater, wine cellar, gym, massage room, glam room and a vocal booth. Outdoors, there's a pool with a waterfall and stream, cabana, fire pit and al fresco dining area.
Selena and Benny now live in Beverly Hills, in a house they bought in February 2025 for $35 million, according to Realtor.com. That home has seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and two guest houses, one of which contains a home theater and one of which has a recording studio.
Bebe Rexha is one of Arena One at AMC's 'Girls Night Live' performers (Nate Guenther)
If you don't want to spend hours online trying to buy concert tickets just to end up paying $400 or more for a seat with a lousy view, AMC Theatres just may have a solution.
Starting in June, the theater chain is launching Arena One at AMC, a new concert concept that has artists perform exclusive live concerts that will be viewable in real time in more than 300 AMC locations nationwide. Not only will fans have a great view of the action, but the tickets will be considerably less expensive.
The new program launches in June with a series of concerts billed as "Girls Night Live": Bebe Rexha performs June 17; Paris Hilton performs June 18; Kim Petras performs June 19; and Maren Morris takes the stage June 20. Each concert has a host and opening acts, and when you buy your tickets, you can even order food at the same time.
But the main thing is, how much does it cost? Prices vary by theater and city, but the shows that are on sale now seem to range from roughly $66 to $77 each. Additional artists and performances will be announced soon.
Adam Aron, chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment, says in a statement, "Thanks to Arena One at AMC, music fans across the country will be able to come together for the same live concert, at the same time, all with the accessible premium experience of huge screens, powerful sound, and comfortable seats that AMC guests know and expect.”
Harry Styles is playing 12 nights at London's Wembley Stadium this summer, but fans will also have a chance to see him in a smaller London venue. As curator of this year's Meltdown Festival, he'll be playing the 2700-capacity Royal Festival Hall on June 16, backed by a full orchestra. It's just been announced that the only way fans can attend the gig is to win tickets.
The gig will be a fundraiser for London's Southbank Centre, where the Meltdown Festival is taking place, so fans must pay for online contest entries. It's about $27 for one entry, $54 for two and about $81 dollars for three. The bad news? You can only enter if you're a resident of the U.K. Get all the details at SouthbankCentre.co.uk.
All the net proceeds from Harry's gig will go toward the Southbank Centre's youth programs. Each year, they provide more than 25,000 young people with free access to creative experiences through workshops and special programs.
Harry is the 31st artist to curate the Meltdown festival, following in the footsteps of past curators like David Bowie, Chaka Khan, Yoko Ono, Patti Smith, The Cure's Robert Smith and more. The festival runs from June 11 to 21 and will take over the entire Southbank Arts Centre.

It's looking as though Coachella might be the best thing that's ever happened to Justin Bieber's career.
Rolling Stonereports that thanks to renewed interest in Justin's catalogue — the Bieberssance, if you will — Justin has now amassed over 141 million monthly listeners. That gives him the title of the artist with the most monthly listeners on all of Spotify. The previous holder of that title, Bruno Mars, currently has 137 million monthly listeners.
That number is directly attributable to Coachella; on April 9, right before the first weekend of the festival, Justin had 98.8 million monthly listeners, which means he's experienced a more than 40% increase in just under a month. On April 20, the day after his final Coachella performance, Justin had his biggest streaming day ever on Spotify with 105 million streams.
The songs in his catalog that have gotten the biggest boosts include a mix of past hits and ones he highlighted during his Coachella performances: "Baby," "Beauty and a Beat," "Sorry," "Love Yourself," "Eenie Meenie," "Never Say Never" and his current single, "Daisies." Plus, his song "Everything Hallelujah" has gone viral on TikTok.
The popularity of Justin's Coachella performances highlighted the pent-up demand for live Bieber shows, because they marked his first major public performances since he canceled his Justice tour in 2022. Prior to the festival, Justin did two invite-only club shows for fans, but prior to that, he stuck to private gigs and TV spots.

Billie Eilish may change her mind when she gets older, but for right now, she says she has no plans on getting work done on her face in the future.
While appearing on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, Billie, 24, talked about still being seen as a "young wonder," even though she's not a teenager anymore. She admitted that she once thought that she'd be the same person she was at 17 forever, but now realizes, "It's just not how it works." That being said, Billie claimed, "I am so excited to age and I'm so excited for my face to age and my body to age and not change it, you know?"
"And I want my kids to look at me and have my face look like their face and not be some botched version of whatever the f*** is going on out there right now, you know what I'm saying?" she added.
That's not to say that Billie is anti-plastic surgery. In 2021, she told the U.K. paper The Guardian, "It’s completely fine to get work done – do this, do that, do what makes you feel happy. It’s just when you deny it and say, ‘Oh, I got this all on my own, and if you just tried harder, you could get it.’ That makes me literally furious. It is so bad for young women – and boys, too – to see that.”
Billie's new concert film Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) arrives in theaters on Friday.
Noah Kahan on the cover of the June 2026 issue of 'Rolling Stone' (Danny Clinch)
The pressure to follow up a career-making hit can be enormous, and at one point Noah Kahan thought it might be easier to simply change careers rather than try to match the success of Stick Season.
That's according to Noah's new Rolling Stone cover story, in which he says that after touring Stick Season in 2024, "I was just sick of it.” He adds that, faced with the prospect of making his next album, all he could think was, "This thing that’s supposed to be so fun and so rewarding is becoming tiring and making you anxious all the time.”
According to Rolling Stone, Noah began thinking about getting a new job. He got fingerprinted with the intention of becoming a substitute teacher, and also considered enrolling in psychology classes at his local college or even becoming a groundskeeper at a golf course. "I thought that would be such a therapeutic thing,” he explains.
There was some light at the end of the tunnel at the end of 2024, when he first connected with The National member and producer Aaron Dessner at Dessner's Long Pond Studios. But another setback came in March 2025, when he took a trip to Joshua Tree, California, and ended up having what he calls an "OCD meltdown," which manifested in him suffering from disturbing intrusive thoughts.
After that, Noah went back on medication and finally, he felt creative again. His new #1 album, The Great Divide, was the result.
"You find out who you are in the moments when you’re alone,” he says. "I needed to be brought back down to earth, and I think the process, as hard as it was, really did bring me back.”
Freya Skye's breakthrough song "Silent Treatment" came out in December, and since then it's climbed into the top 20 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart. But she celebrated a milestone in April when the song debuted on the "big chart": the Billboard Hot 100.
“Look at the names that I’m surrounded by: They’re the people who I used to sing songs in the car with my family with. They’re the people who I have grown up with," Freya tells Billboard, describing her reaction to the news.
Freya, who started writing the song about a year ago, had already gained fans with her role as Nova Bright in the Disney Channel movie Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires. She then went on the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide tour, but kept on working on her own music, finishing "Silent Treatment" in September.
Freya is now juggling two careers: Disney star and pop star. She's currently filming Zombies 5 in New Zealand, before hitting the road in June with her Stars Align tour, supporting her Stardust EP. Freya says she knows doing both those things at the same time is rare.
"The stereotype that has been created, and I felt like one that I was going to have to follow, was like, ‘OK, I’ll do Disney. Then one day, unfortunately, that journey will come to an end, and then my music career will begin,’" she tells Billboard. "The fact that they’ve been able to coincide is something that, honestly, I was surprised by and [feel] really lucky for.”
That's the message Bebe Rexha is sending with her latest Instagram post, in which she celebrates her current success after a career setback in 2025. The post opens with a video of Bebe crying, with the text overlay, "January 25th, 2025 This is the day I found out that the label I was signed to for 12 years officially decided to part ways with me."
She says in the video, "I know that I'm loved by the people around me, and I don't know where I go next, you know? I don't know. This video will probably never see the light of day, but I wanted to make it so that I can watch it, and hopefully I'll be in a better place."
The next slide shows Bebe's song "New Religion" at #1 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart. The third slide is Bebe, who's now an independent artist, giving the finger to the camera with both hands.
"New religion is #1 on Billboard Dance/Airplay and US Dance Radio!" she wrote in the caption. "First I wanna say to the fans this isn’t just my win. This is our win. This means more to me than any other accolade I’ve ever received because I’m doing this on my own terms."
"Going independent was so scary, I honestly thought it was over for me. I know that sounds dramatic but the last 7 years were a battle and I was suffering in silence," she continued. "But now I’m free and I’m surrounded by people who celebrate and uplift me. ... This feels like a rebirth and the sick thing is, we’re just getting started."
Tori Kelly will return with her first album since becoming a mom, God Must Really Love Me, on June 12. The first two singles, "Control" and "Dive," both arrive Friday; you can preorder the album now.
Tori and her husband, André Murillo, welcomed their son, Zayden Michael Murillo, in November 2025. She says in a statement, "Before the baby was born I’d tried to work on as many songs as possible, because I thought maybe I wouldn’t want to write once I was in mom mode. But then everything just hit me at once and right away I knew what I needed to say and exactly how I wanted it to sound."
"I really challenged myself to peel back the layers and go much deeper with my lyrics," she adds. "In the past I’ve held back from getting too specific in my songs, but this time I just completely let go.”
Tori tells Variety of the album's title, "[W]hen I took a step back and listened to the songs, it’s a feeling of gratitude, like, 'Look at these blessings in my life. God must really love me.'”
However, she says, "At the end of the day, I would love it if people felt that for themselves too. Feel how loved they are, how special they are, inspire them to look at their lives and see what they can be grateful for, spend time with the people that they love."
Variety describes the album as "acoustic-leaning R&B," adding that baby Zayden can be heard cooing on some of the songs.
Tori will team with Forrest Frank on The Jesus Generation tour, launching June 1 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. For tickets, visit torikellymusic.com.

Having already performed with Madonna at Coachella, Sabrina Carpenter spent the night at the 2026 Met Gala singing with yet another legendary female Rock & Roll Hall of Famer: Stevie Nicks.
As Vogue reports, Sabrina, one of the co-chairs of the Gala, and Stevie teamed up for a performance of Stevie's iconic Fleetwood Mac song "Landslide." After performing her Fleetwood Mac hit "Gypsy" and her solo classic "Edge of Seventeen," she closed the night with another Fleetwood Mac classic -- "Don't Stop" -- joined by Sabrina and a 12-person choir.
Ahead of Stevie's performance, Sabrina took the stage for her own set, performing "House Tour," "Espresso" and "Please Please Please." She wore two different looks: a 2018 Versace gown decorated with Andy Warhol's prints of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, and a gold-fringed Bob Mackie number.
As for Sabrina's previous legendary duet partner, Madonna also attended the Met Gala, though she and Sabrina didn't team up to perform their new duet "Bring Your Love."
Madonna hit the red carpet in an outfit that was an elaborate recreation of a 1945 painting by Leonora Carrington called The Temptations of Saint Anthony Fragment II. The painting depicts a woman holding what looks like a hunting horn, with a boat on her head, surrounded by five women, each holding the hem of her dress.
Accordingly, Madonna wore a headpiece with a ship on it, carried a horn, and was followed by six women, all holding up a part of her lengthy veil.

The stars came out for the 2026 Met Gala Monday night in New York City, and as usual, the gathering included a contingent of some of pop's biggest names. Here's a roundup:
Katy Perry took the theme of "Fashion is Art" very seriously. She wore a white satin Stella McCartney gown repurposed from surplus tailoring fabrics, with a train that was intentionally burned to tease her upcoming single, "Watch It Burn." She paired the gown with a custom headpiece featuring a mirrored mask insert. According to a press release, the accessory "invites the observer to consider that their perception of others can mirror their own internal world, and conversely mask truth." Topping off the outfit: white gloves, one of which had a sixth finger, in reference to the fact that in 2024 and 2025 AI-generated fan art depicted her as falsely attending the Met Gala.
Hooray for Hollywood! Met Gala co-chair Sabrina Carpenter wore a Christian Dior dress made entirely out of film strips, along with a 1920s-style headpiece. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the strips were actual vintage camera film from Audrey Hepburn's 1954 classic movie Sabrina. The look reflected the "Sabrinawood" aesthetic she showed off at Coachella.
Fellow co-chair Beyoncé, returning to the event for the first time in 10 years, wore a diamond-studded dress by Olivier Rousteing that looked like a skeleton, with a matching sun-shaped crown headpiece and a feathered train that was so long it took five people to carry it up the stairs.
Sam Smith wore a voluminous black, sparkly, fur-trimmed gown and a 2-foot-tall feather attached to their forehead.
HUNTR/X star EJAE didn't go "Golden" for the carpet. Instead, she wore a silver column gown that was spangled and bejeweled, with matching silver accessories in her hair. Her bandmate Audrey Nuna wore a floor-length black-and-white coat dress and matching hat that looked like they'd been splattered with paint.
Gracie Abrams wore a golden bejeweled Chanel gown that was inspired by the paintings of artist GustavKlimt.
Sombr wore a black lace and silver confection that featured a floor-length silver fringed cape.
Tate McRae wore a golden custom gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin that, according to a press release, was inspired by the golden statues on the ceremonial boat of French King Louis XIV. The lace and feather creation was meant to turn Tate into a "a living statue ... a luminous art object."
A number of stars wore outfits that featured accessories that looked like hands, arms or both. BLACKPINK's LISA was one of them, wearing a white tulle gown topped off by a massive lace veil that rose above her head because it was held up by two white artificial arms.
SZA wore an elaborate dress by Bode in various hues of yellow, created from a mix of over 100 yards of different fabrics — taffeta, silk, lace and tulle — sourced entirely from eBay. The gown was covered with floral appliqués and butterfly motifs, topped off by a headdress of flowers and golden chains.
Doechii was naked and barefoot, except for a strategically placed draping of purple fabric and a towering purple fabric headdress.

Lola Young and Zara Larsson have joined the lineup for the Washington, D.C., date of this year's All Things Go festival. Zara will perform Sept. 26, while Lola will take the stage Sept. 27. A fan presale starts Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET. Lola canceled her 2025 D.C. appearance after collapsing onstage during the New York date of the festival.

Andy Grammer will perform at this year's National Memorial Day Concert, which will air live on PBS and YouTube May 24 at 8 p.m. ET. Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise co-host the show.
The Pussycat Dolls, PCD Forever Tour (Live Nation)
Meghan Trainor, ZAYN and Post Malone have all canceled U.S. tour dates recently, and now the Pussycat Dolls have done the same. The difference is the group seemingly admitting it's because sales haven't been up to par.
"When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world. After taking an honest look at the North American run, we’ve made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates," the group wrote on Instagram.
They went on to say that the U.K. and European dates are still on because some of those shows are already sold out. Plus, their scheduled performance at WeHo Pride in LA on June 6 is still going forward.
"We are putting everything into making this show a true celebration of the music and the memories, for the fans who have been with us from the beginning and those discovering us for the first time," the group wrote. "We’re working hard to create the kind of show we’ve always dreamed of bringing to you."
Fans in the comments asked if perhaps the group might consider doing the tour and just playing smaller venues, while one fan wrote, "Kudos to you all for the honest message."
A few fans noted that they weren't happy that the tour only includes three original Dolls: Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts. Nicole actually went viral when she failed to adequately answer a question about the absence of other members on the lineup while appearing on NBC's Today show.
Meghan cited wanting to spend more time with young family as the reason for canceling her Get In Girl tour. ZAYN cited health reasons, and Post Malone said he needed to finish his album. Varietyreports that sales for those tours were "notably weak."

What year is it? Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj's 2012 duet "Beauty and a Beat" is currently the biggest song in the world.
Blame Justin's Coachella performance on April 11: During that show, Justin played YouTube clips of his old hits and sang along to them, including "Beauty and a Beat." The renewed interest in the track has now sent the song to #1 on Billboard's Global 200, which ranks the world's biggest hits based on sales and online streaming in over 200 territories.
The song, from Justin's album Believe, originally reached #6 on the Hot 100 in 2012. It's Justin's third #1 on the Global 200, following "Stay" with The Kid LAROI and "Peaches," featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon. Both those songs topped the chart in 2021.
But that isn't even the oldest song in the top 10 on the Global 200. Thanks to the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, "Billie Jean" has jumped to #8. The song originally spent seven weeks at #1 in 1983.
