The superstar singer delivered the second of four performances in Los Angeles on The Eternal Sunshine Tour, and 90 minutes through the show Grande stopped to address the crowd, which responded to her comments with wild cheers and applause. “Thank you so much, oh my god. L.A., thank you so much. Are you kidding? What the hell? I’ve never in my life experienced a crowd like this,” Grande said as she got emotional and wiped away tears with a gloved hand while wearing custom Vivienne Westwood, Christian Louboutin boots and Swarovski jewelry. “This is so overwhelming in the most beautiful way ever. Thank you so much for being so loving. Holy moly. I said holy moly, but I meant it, you know.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The newly announced performances include extra shows in Indianapolis, Chicago, New York City, Toronto, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Presales begin Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit Bridgers' website. The initial Lost Tour announcement followed Bridgers' run of pop-up performances, which culminated with a surprise show at New York City's Madison Square Garden earlier in June. Those shows marked Bridgers' first solo concerts in three years. As previously reported, attendees of the Lost Tour will be required to secure their phones and any other recording or filming devices in Yondr pouches during the show.

TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Nate 2:41 Today's Sponsor! 4:36 Cassie 9:02 Maddy and Lexie 11:59 Jules 14:56 Rue Rue Bennett is gone. But to those whose lives she touched, she’s vividly present. That’s among the takeaways from the Season 3 finale of “Euphoria,” an episode that brought its primary characters to some version or another of closure. Rue (Zendaya) dies before the episode’s midpoint, after which Ali (Colman Domingo) must avenge her. Meanwhile, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) seems set up for her future as an OnlyFans mogul, but still has ways to go in terms of healing the wounds left by her brief, turbulent marriage to the late Nate (Jacob Elordi). And there’s a sweet tribute to Fezco (played in the first two seasons by Angus Cloud), in some ways the soul of “Euphoria.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lizzo is putting a certain rumor to rest. On Saturday, May 23, the rapper and singer (whose real name is Melissa Jefferson) responded to a fan comment accusing her of "talking s---" about Taylor Swift. "The Life Of A Showgirl + MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING — 4.005M," a user wrote on X the day prior, referring to Swift's latest album and Lizzo's 2025 mixtape, respectively. "ICEMAN + MAID OF HONOUR + HABIBTI — 683k." The post also featured a clip from her "STFU" music video. Lizzo, 38, reshared the post, asking users to clarify what the X user wrote: "Can someone explain what this means?" One user replied, saying, "It means all that s--- talking you did about Tay finally caught up to you." That's when Lizzo stepped in to defend herself. Learn more about your ad choices.

Harry Styles hit the dance floor hard in his latest music video. On Thursday, May 7, the English pop star shared the sweaty and sensual "Dance No More," the third visual to arrive from his latest album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. In the video directed by Colin Solal Cardo, Styles, 32, enters what appears to be a high school gym where he gets down to disco very quickly in little red shorts and tennis shoes.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or so they say. In that case, Meghan Trainor’s Toy With Me is the biggest compliment anyone could ever pay Sabrina Carpenter. Between the sexy pastel babydoll aesthetic, glitzy production, cheeky hooks, (attempts at) winking innuendo, and even the stupid banged wig in every visualizer, there’s very little on the “All About That Bass” singer’s latest album that does not have the Short n’ Sweet star in its DNA. What doesn’t scream Sabrina, though, screams someone else: “Chef’s Kiss” echoes Taylor Swift’s “Karma”; “Rich Man” feels a little too close to aespa’s hit of the same name from last year. None of this compares to the closing track, “Shimmer,” which is so close to Tate McRae’s “Just Keep Watching” that a future lawsuit wouldn’t be surprising. The bridge is nearly identical to McRae’s chorus, down to lines like “Just do it like this, break your back”—shockingly similar to McCrae’s “Goes like this, start with the track / Eyes on me, archin’ my back.” You have to wonder what the hell Trainor’s team was thinking.

Michael is aiming for a record-breaking opening weekend. It’s also a critical flop. In a vacuum, the Michael Jackson biopic might sound like a perfectly palatable film. The movie stars Jackson’s real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson as the titular singer, following his childhood through the height of his career in the 1980s with non-stop musical sequences of the King of Pop’s greatest hits. But Michael Jackson’s legacy is more than just music. Audiences and critics alike are panning Michael for glossing over the dark side of Jackson’s life, proving that it takes more than a famous subject to make a biopic a critical success—even while Jackson’s star power propels the movie to a box office of $70 million its debut weekend.

Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGMQbVfYVmI TIMESTAMPS 0:00 New Year Same Beef 2:17 Justin Bieber Karaoke Hour 6:02 Sabrina Carpenter Controversy 12:04 Final Thoughts When Justin Bieber took the stage at Coachella on Saturday night, the performance quickly became the most contested headline set in recent festival history, drawing intense scrutiny that extended far beyond questions of vocals or production design and into a broader conversation about how live performance is interpreted within a media environment shaped by constant circulation, commentary and reinterpretation. Bieber reportedly earned close to $10 million for the appearance, placing the set among the highest-paid in Coachella history, yet the creative execution leaned heavily into minimalism, with the defining segment centered on a prolonged onstage “YouTube time capsule” in which he played viral clips, early career footage and fragments of older songs from a laptop, creating a deliberately fragmented and referential structure that resembled an internet browsing session more than a conventional festival headlining arc. Coverage from outlets like Entertainment Weekly and Business Insider emphasized this structural choice as the defining characteristic of the show, while The Guardian noted the strength of his vocal delivery even within the restrained staging.
