Travis Kelce is one of few lucky Swifties who got to see Taylor Swift premiere her brand new Eras Tour set — which is now complete with select numbers from her Billboard 200-topping new album, The Tortured Poets Department — across four shows in Paris over the weekend. And on the latest episode of his podcast New Heights Wednesday (May 15), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end couldn’t help but gush about the “absolutely unbelievable” experience.  

“I had a blast at Tay’s show,” the athlete told his brother and co-host, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. “Her new rendition of The Eras Tour, I suggest everybody go see it. It has her new Tortured Poets Department, a handful of those songs in the new show, which means there’s a new segment and new lights and new dancing. New everything to the f–king show.” 

“It is absolutely unbelievable,” he continued. “I enjoyed every bit of it … I don’t know if they’re just getting better or if I just keep forgetting how they are. It was electric in there. Paris was on a whole other level.” 

The episode comes about three days after Travis attended Swift’s final Paris concert at La Defense Arena Sunday (May 12), where fan cameras captured him dancing along to the show with suitemates Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. The “Anti-Hero” singer’s tenure in the City of Love marked the first few times she’d ever performed tracks such as “Fortnight,” “Down Bad” and “So High School,” a love song thought by many fans to have been inspired by the athlete.  

“I got to see a few familiar faces,” Travis added on the show. “I got to see Gigi and Bradley. Bradley Cooper, man, BC, Big Coop. We were all in the suite having a blast.” 

At the show, Swift also debuted a new outfit made with Chiefs colors: red and gold. Later on, she performed “The Alchemy” — another TTPD track believed to be about Travis — as part of the surprise song section, during which the Ohio native held up a hand heart in the stands.  

The 14-time Grammy winner will next perform in Stockholm for three nights at Friends Arena starting Friday (May 17), after which she’ll spend the summer traveling through Spain, Scotland, Ireland and parts of Europe before returning to the U.S. in October. And if you’re wondering whether Travis will continue to tag along on the tour, it certainly sounds like he’s game. 

“I’m gonna be dancing around,” he hinted on New Heights. “I’m all over the world this offseason.”

With Pride season nearly upon us, music fans are busy buying tickets to their local Pride festivals. But if you can’t make it to an in-person celebration this year, don’t worry — Billy Porter, Orville Peck and plenty of others are here to help.

On Wednesday (May 15), iHeartMedia and P&G announced the lineup for their fifth annual Can’t Cancel Pride event. Taking place on June 12, the livestreamed event will feature a series of appearances and performances from stars including Porter, Peck, Allison Russell, Ben Platt, David Archuletta, Meghan Trainor, Melissa Etheridge, Raye and Victoria Monét.

Along with performing at the event, Porter is set to host and receive the Elton John Impact Award for his LGBTQ+ advocacy throughout his career. The award was first given to John during the event’s 2022 broadcast, and was later presented to Americana star Brandi Carlile in 2023.

In a statement released with the news, iHeartMedia’ spokesperson ‘s chief marketing officer Gayle Troberman teased a can’t-miss event. “We are proud to celebrate Can’t Cancel Pride’s fifth birthday with another fantastic show that celebrates the intersection and unconditional power of music, message and inclusivity,” she wrote. “It’s incredible to see and hear the positive impact this franchise has on the community each year.”

Peck’s performance at the event will come on the heels of his recent win at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards, where the country star took home the organization’s Vito Russo Award. During his acceptance speech on Saturday (May 11), Peck pointed to the importance of having more out queer artists in the genre, in order “to allow some kid in a small town who loves country music to see themselves in me or Mickey Guyton or T.J. Osborne.”

Can’t Cancel Pride will take place live at the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles on June 12 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET, with a livestream of the event that will take place on iHeartRadio’s YouTube and Facebook pages, Hulu, Revry, and The Advocate Channel. Check out the full lineup for the event below:

Living in modern times, we spend a majority of our time staring at screens — working on a laptop from home, scrolling through TikTok on a smartphone, watching YouTube on a tablet or playing video games on a computer desktop.

Staring a screen for long periods of time could cause eye strain, fatigue, blurred vision, headaches, dry eyes or sleep loss because of blue light that’s emitted from laptops, smartphones and other devices with displays. In some cases, too much blue light can cause eye disease.

However, there’s a simple solution. Enter blue light-blocking glasses.

These special glasses don’t require a prescription, and act like a pair of sunglasses — but for computer screens. A good pair can also help reduce eye strain and fatigue, and may also improve your overall health and sleep quality.

The TLC tour has been bitten by the flu bug. The duo informed fans on Monday (May 14) that they’ve been forced to cancel that night’s planned show and postpone three other tour dates in Canada this week after member T-Boz (as well as several other tour members) have fallen ill.

“We deeply regret to inform you that we must cancel the upcoming date,” they said of the Monday night gig slated to take place in the Avenir Centre in Moncton, New Brunswick. “Unfortunately, a few members of our tour, including T-boz, have fallen ill with the flu. As a result, she has lost her voice. Doctors have advised her not to perform this week,” read the statement from the group that also features singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” they added. “Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to the opportunity to perform for you in the near future. We love you and will see you soon.”

The affected dates included a Thursday (May 16) show at Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, a gig on Friday (May 17) at the Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario (which has been rescheduled for Oct. 3) and a May 18 concert at the Memorial Centre in Peterborough, Ontario.

At press time the group had not announced when, or if the other three shows will be rescheduled.

TLC are the subject of a new Netflix documentary, TLC Forever, and earlier this year they celebrated the 25th anniversary of their landmark Fanmail album, which features extended remixes of Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “No Scrubs” and “U in Me.”

See TLC’s statement about the show postponements below.

Never say never. Back in December, before she was announced as one of this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees, Cher had some choice words for the Cleveland-based museum that, at that point, had not deigned her worthy of inclusion despite her record of scoring No. 1 hits over seven decades.

To put it mildly the 77-year-old pop wonder told Kelly Clarkson that she was not interested, not even if the RRHOF “gave me a million dollars… I’m never going to change my mind. They can just you-know-what themselves.”

Well, now that she is preparing to enter the HOF alongside Mary J. Blige, Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner, A Tribe Called Quest, Kool & the Gang, the Dave Matthews Band and Peter Frampton on Oct. 19 in Cleveland, you better believe she’s had a change of heart.

According to ET, while walking the red carpet at the Paley Center in L.A. for the premiere of the documentary Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion — about the fashion designer who has made so many of the singer’s glitter-dripping costumes over the years — Cher said she was grateful for her pending induction.

She thanked longtime friend and one-time paramour former music executive David Geffen and RRHOF Foundation chairman John Sykes for the honor and, in her inimitable way, warned that she will not go quietly into that very good night.

“I’m going to have some words to say,” Cher promised. “I’m going to accept it as me.”

Cher’s first No. 1 hit was 1965’s “I Got You Babe” with late partner Sonny Bono and she had been eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame since 1991.

Nonprofit foundation Live Music Society has announced the recipients of its second annual Music in Action grant.

The Music In Action grant provides funding for venues to program events that build community and promote accessibility for marginalized groups, create opportunities for both local talent and touring acts to grow and find new audiences, and increase their revenue and customer base. The number of small music venues benefitting from the program is up from 17 in 2023, while the funds have grown from $500,000 last year to $710,000 this year.

This year, 24 small performance venues across the United States have been granted a total of $710,000 to program events that build community and boost revenue. The 24 venue grantees include Maple Leaf Bar in New Orleans, Nocturne Jazz & Supper Club in Denver, Cole’s Bar in Chicago, Drkmtter Collective in Nashville, The Lost Church in San Francisco, The Royal Room in Seattle and Chris’ Jazz Cafe in Philadelphia.

The 2024 recipients will use their funds over the next year to launch concert series, put on family-friendly festivals, build out membership programs, develop spaces for LGBTQ+ musicians to gather, create educational programming and host monthly Latinx dance parties.

“People are trying to open their stages to new voices: women, BIPOC, LGBTQ and even just different styles of music that they are not used to presenting,” says Live Music Society executive director Cat Henry. “It’s really exciting for people to take a philosophical risk to make sure that they’re not just staying in one lane the whole time and providing opportunities for more voices at the table.”

For Live Music Society founder Pete Muller, the Music In Action grant is about giving people who love and know their business the ability to take a swing at something new and help build a more sustainable business for the long term. “If you have a 200-seat venue, you are not going to make a lot of money. Even if you run it well. The best shot you have is to figure out how to raise a lot of philanthropic local dollars,” says Muller. “Most of the time, it’s going to be shoestring and we can help.”

While Live Music Society does not intend to fully fund any venues, Muller says the nonprofit created the grant for them to take risks on new musicians, pay their musicians and staff reasonable wages and remain an integral part of the live music ecosystem.

“200-seat venues or 100-seat venues are an amazing place to start your musical career,” says Muller, who is also a touring musician. “I actually prefer smaller venues. You can really connect with the crowd. The only problem is, it’s very hard to make a good living.”

Live Music Society, which began handing out grants in 2020, hopes to continue growing the number of venues that receive funding through the Music In Action grant, with the amount of funds reflecting the need. With the 2024 Music In Action grant and its annual Toolbox grant, the foundation has now disbursed $3.7 million in funding to small venues.

To further its mission to recognize and protect small venues and listening rooms across the United States, Live Music Society is also looking to help venues by developing and sharing best practices. In partnership with its venue grantees and involvement with organizations like the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) — Live Music Society will host a panel at this year’s NIVA conference in June — the foundation plans to collect expertise that it can share with small venues to help them succeed in a tough live music economy.

“One of the goals of gathering in New Orleans [for NIVA ‘24] is to help create an informal network of companies and club owners because they aren’t really competing with each other. They are in different markets,” Muller says. “If one of them finds a great musician, sharing it with a different club is helpful to both. The more you interact, the more you create community.”

Cardi B has big plans for the rest of this year, including some chill time, maybe a trip to the beach, but, sorry to report, not releasing her long-awaited sophomore album. The revelation came on Monday (May 14) in a since-deleted response to a comment from an X user who said it was “time for her to pull back from social media platforms,” dubbing the “Bongos” rapper’s engagement with her fans as “unappreciated.”

In a since-deleted reply (screen-grabbed by HipHopDX), Cardi didn’t disagree, writing, “Exactly and I tell myself this all the time .. and I hate that I fall back and start interacting again and it bites me in the a–.”

Then Cardi dropped a very disappointing truth bomb on the Bardigang. “Anyway NO album this year I don’t care I’m relaxing this year .. Dropping these features I already committed to and traveling and enjoying my summer.”

The revelation was especially harsh considering Cardi celebrated the sixth anniversary of her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, in April by teasing what fans can expect from her forever delayed second full-length. “6 years ago I released my first album and it broke so many records GAH LEE!!” she wrote at the time of the album that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned a Grammy award for best rap album at the 2019 Grammys. “6 years later I’m preparing to drop the next one this year.. it’s so different from what everyone is expecting and I’m sooo excited.”

For now, it seems, fans will have to sate their appetite for more Cardi with her most recent loosies, “Enough (Miami)” and the Shakira collab “Puntería,” the latest single from Shak’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran album.

See the exchange below.

Cub Sport, The Teskey Brothers and Jem Cassar-Daley will take great form into the 2024 AIR Awards, set for Thursday, Aug. 1 at Queen’s Theatre in Adelaide.

Cub Sport is hunting a triple. The Brisbane electronic pop foursome is shortlisted for best independent dance or electronica and independent album of the year for their ARIA No. 1 collection, Jesus At The Gay Bar, and their Adam Munnings-directed clip for “Keep Me Safe” is up for independent music video of the year. Cub Sport pounced for two wins at last month’s 2024 Queensland Music Awards.

Also at the AIR Awards, The Teskey Brothers, led by Josh and Sam, are up for best independent blues and roots album or EP and independent marketing team of the year (Ivy League, Mushroom).

The Teskeys are fresh from winning the songwriter of the year at the 2024 APRA Music Awards, and best record at the 2024 Rolling Stone Australia Awards for their ARIA No. 1 album The Winding Way, and their manager, Jeremy Furze, was named manager of the year at the 2024 AAM Awards.

Meanwhile, Jem Cassar-Daley’s “King of Disappointment” could be crowned song of the year, though it faces competition from works by Genesis Owusu (“Leaving The Light”), Maple Glider (“Don’t Kiss Me”), RVG (“Nothing Really Changes”) and Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers (“I Used To Be Fun”).

Cassar-Daley, daughter of homegrown country great Troy Cassar-Daley, won a brace at the 2024 QMAs, including the night’s top honor – song of the year (for “King of Disappointment”).

Best independent label will be contested by ABC Music, Dot Dash Recordings, Ourness, Poison City Records and Spinning Top Records.

Now in its 18th year, the AIR Awards are a celebration of the best and brightest from Australia’s independent music community.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to recognize the work the independent music industry does in providing talented and emerging artists and music businesses with a platform to share their art with a wider audience,” comments minister for arts. Andrea Michaels, member of parliament.

This year’s ceremony will once more be bookended by the Indie-Con Australia conference, a gathering that focuses “on issues that are specifically relevant to the independent music sector,” say organizers, the Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR). The South Australian Music Development Office is major sponsor for the annual awards. Details on the program and lineup of speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

When season 25 of The Voice began, 40 artists were split among the four teams.

Now, just five are alive in the competition.

On Tuesday night (May 14), The Voice trimmed its list of contenders following a round of “Last Chance” performances.

Asher HaVon, Bryan Olesen, Josh Sanders, Karen Waldrup, Maddi Jane, Madison Curbelo, Nathan Chester, Serenity Arce and Tae Lewis took their turns at the mic on the previous night. America voted. The four singers with the top scores went through: Karen Waldrup (Team Dan + Shay), Nathan Chester (Team Legend), Josh Sanders (Team Reba) and Asher HaVon (Team Reba).

The remaining singers battled it out for the last remaining spot.

There could be only one. With his performance of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida,” Bryan Olesen (Team Legend) won the Instant Save, and a precious lifeline. Waldrup, Chester, Sanders, HaVon and Oleson progress to next week’s finale, which airs Monday, May 20, when each singer performs one last time for America’s vote.

On Tuesday, May 21, the winner of The Voice season 25 is announced.

An all-star cast will join on both nights, including Keith Urban (on Monday), The Black Keys, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and Kate Hudson (all performing on the Tuesday episode).

Though not performing, a slew of coaching favorites will appear on The Voice Finale to celebrate its milestone 25th season, from Kelly Clarkson to CeeLo Green, Niall Horan, Jennifer Hudson, Nick Jonas, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Gwen Stefani.

Both episodes air on NBC, and will stream on Peacock the following day from 6 a.m. ET.

It’s not just the singing talent that’s undergoing change. The lineup of John Legend, Chance the Rapper, Reba McEntire, and newbies Dan + Shay will have a new look when The Voice returns in this fall. Country great McEntire is the only returning coach on a panel that includes Gwen Stefani, Michael Bublé, and Snoop Dogg.

Watch the Last Chance performances below.

Reggaetón stars Feid and Yandel came up with a very cool marketing ploy for Manifesting, their recently released joint EP and for their single “Brickell.” They would perform an “impromptu” live concert from a yacht cruising the waters of Biscayne Bay in Miami, with Brickell avenue within striking distance.

Late Tuesday afternoon (May 14), Feid let fans know something was up, posting an Instagram story that showed him on a boat in the bay with the caption “Quien en bote hoy en Miami puessss (Who’s on a boat in Miami today, puessss).” A mere three hours later, a second Instagram story showed a caravan of boats trailing Feid’s yacht, and soon enough, he and Yandel began to sing.

But not for long.

Just three songs into the performance, as Feid and Yandel’s yacht was nearing the Brickell bridge, local water police patrols asked the artists to shut down the party.

According to Andy Martínez, Yandel’s manager, officers told the artist teams “to please stop the music” because so many fans showed up, that traffic on the roads was ensnarled and “there were over 50 police patrols on hand” for the safety of the crowds trying to get to the bridge and boat’s route.

However, Martínez told Billboard, all was good. Feid’s team had obtained “all the necessary permits with the Coast Guard, and everything was in order and in time.”

The plan, says Martínez, “was to cross the bridge and sing the entire album. But they only got through three songs.”

As a marketing ploy, however, the show on the water was a hit. Social media videos show throngs of screaming people lining the canal as the yacht went by.

“Miami que locura, que chimba que momentos que amor tan especial. Gracias Gracias,” posted Feid on his Instagram.

The latest missive from The Desk of Taylor Swift is a newly penned Eras Tour setlist, to make room for her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.

Last week, Swift brought her blockbuster trek to Europe for the first time, playing four shows at Paris’ La Defense Arena. After a year-plus of concerts — not to mention the theatrical release of her Eras Tour film and a streaming version on Disney+ too — the pop superstar made wholesale changes to the well-worn setlist, reshuffling the order, combining two eras into one and adding a seven-song section dedicated to her latest release.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith (who have been to two Eras Tour concerts apiece) take a closer look at the changes Swift implemented at the European kick-off. Listen below:

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake feud continues to heat up the charts, as Lamar’s “Not Like Us” debuts at No. 1, his “Euphoria” jumps into the top 10, and Drake’s “Family Matters” debuts at No. 7. Plus, over on the Billboard 200, Dua Lipa scores her highest-charting album ever, as her new studio set Radical Optimism debuts at No. 2, behind a third week at No. 1 for Swift’s Tortured Poets.

Myke Towers earns his second No. 1 on Billboard’s Tropical Airplay chart as “La Capi” jumps 2-1 to lead the May 18-dated list. It’s the second ruler on the radio ranking for Towers, who first crowned the list through “Travesuras” in 2021. While the Puerto Rican picks up his second No. 1 with his second entry, he’s notched 30 titles on the Latin Rhythm Airplay ranking, including 11 No. 1s.

“La Capi,” released Nov. 23, is one of 23 songs on Towers’ LVEU: Vive La Tuya…No La Mía album, which debuted at No. 9 on Top Latin Albums (December 2023). The song launched at No. 7 on Tropical Airplay in March and completes a steady climb to the summit in its eighth week, with 9.17 million audience impressions, up 49% on U.S. reporting radio stations during the May 3-9 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The song’s eight-week trek to the penthouse bests Towers’ preceding ruler: “Travesuras,” with Nio García, Casper Mágico, Ozuna, Wisin & Yandel, Myke Towers and Flow La Movie, wrapped a 17-week journey to in March 2021.

With “La Capi” ascending to the summit on Tropical Airplay, Towers joins six other artists outside the genre who have secured a No. 1 through a collab or as soloists in the last year.

Here’s the recap of those winners dating back to May 6, 2023:

Title, Artist, Date reached No. 1
“El Merengue,” Marshmello & Manuel Turizo, Aug. 5, 2023
“Bailando Bachata,” Chayanne, April 8, 2023
“Así Es La Vida,” Enrique Iglesias & Maria Becerra, Dec. 9, 2023
“Cosas de La Peda,” Gabito Ballesteros (with Prince Royce), Feb. 24
“La Capi,” Myke Towers, May 18

“La Capi” also rallies 11-3 on the overall Latin Airplay chart, and gifts Towers his 13th top 10.

Beyond its radio popularity, “La Capi” debuts at No. 45 on Hot Latin Songs, the airplay-, digital- and streaming-combined chart, despite a 2% decline in streaming activity, which translates to 145,000 official U.S. streams logged during the same period. The song joins two other Tower tracks on the multi-metric tally, “Adivino,” with Bad Bunny, which drops 2-4, and “La Falda” dips 15-19.

Benny Blanco is ready to start a family with Selena Gomez!

The producer joined The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday (May 14), where the host asked about his future following all his success in music. “That’s my next goal, to check the box,” Blanco said of becoming a father, according to OK! Magazine. “I have a ton of god kids; I’ve got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids.”

“You want to have kids with Selena? Have you told her you want to have kids yet?” Stern asked the star, who replied, “It’s always a topic of conversation to me every day.”

As for proposing, Blanco said, “I take everything a day at a time and I just know that when I look at her, I just say, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’ That’s what I always say to her.”

Gomez first confirmed that she and Blanco were dating on Dec. 7, about six months into their romance. In a reply to fans on Instagram, she wrote that he “is my absolute everything in my heart” and that she is at her “happiest” in the relationship.

The singer and actress soon made their relationship fully Instagram official by giving a spot on her main feed to photos with Blanco, including one in which he hugs her among friends, and one in which she leans back to kiss him. The couple went on the spend New Year’s Eve together, with the Only Murders in the Building actress sharing a photo to her Instagram Stories, in which Blanco has his arms wrapped around Gomez and seems to be giving her a kiss.

You know everything’s gonna be a breeze now that Selena Gomez and David Henrie’s Wizards of Waverly Place reboot is in production.

Gomez announced at Disney Upfront on Tuesday (May 14) that the upcoming series will be called Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, and also shared the first-look images and the series logo. In the snaps, the cast is seen smiling on set. Gomez and Henrie, who played magical siblings Alex and Justin Russo on the original Wizards, will reprise their roles and serve as executive producers on the reboot. Along with Gomez and Henrie, former Disney Branded Television head Gary Marsh and director Andy Fickman are on board to produce, as are the pilot’s writers, Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas. 

Henrie’s character will lead the majority of the show as Dad to sons Milo, played by Max Matenko, and Roman, portrayed by Alkaio Thiele. More than a decade after the original Wizards wrapped in 2012, Justin Russo is also a married man; his wife, Giada, will be brought to life by Mimi Gianopulos. The series lead, Billie, will be portrayed as Janice LeAnn Brown.

According to the series description, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, follows “an adult Justin Russo, who has chosen to lead a normal, mortal life with his family, Giada, Roman and Milo. When Justin’s sister Alex brings Billie to his home seeking help, Justin realizes he must dust off his magical skills to mentor the wizard-in-training while also juggling his everyday responsibilities — and safeguarding the future of the Wizard World.”

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is slated to premiere on Disney Channel and Disney+ later this year. See the first-look photo below.
