Jonas Brothers Joined by John Legend, 5 Seconds of Summer at L.A. Show

This weekend brought more surprises to fans attending the Jonas Brothers’ 20th anniversary tour, with appearances from both John Legend and 5 Seconds of Summer at the band’s Saturday night show (Sept. 6) in Los Angeles.

Legend was the first special guest on the Jonas Brothers’ stage at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., the latest stop on the brothers’ Greetings From Your Hometown Tour — a trek that’s so far also been the setting of a live Fifth Harmony reunion, a Camp Rock sing-along with Demi Lovato and more.

The star performed his 2013 ballad “All of Me” (as seen in slide four of this Instagram post from the Jonas Brothers) and “I Believe” with the group, from their 2019 album Happiness Begins.

Later in the show, 5 Seconds of Summer shared the stage with the Jonas Brothers, which the siblings casually joked about in a bit for TikTok: “Do you think they’re gonna play ‘She Looks So Perfect’ by 5 Seconds of Summer?” Nick asks in the clip, to which Joe replies, “No, this is the Jonas Brothers’ concert, silly goose,” before cutting to a concert video of the live collab that did indeed happen that night in L.A. “legends!!” 5SOS commented on the post.

The guys next bring their show to West Valley City, Utah (Sept. 13); Vancouver, B.C., in Canada (Sept. 18); Portland, Oregon (Sept. 20), and Seattle, Wash. (Sept. 22), before swinging back to California. Jonas Brothers’ Greetings From Your Hometown Tour runs through Nov. 14, when it’ll wrap in Uncasville, Conn., at Mohegan Sun.

Also slated for Nov. 14 is the Disney+ premiere of the trio’s family film A Very Jonas Christmas Movie.

Appearing on stage at New York’s UBS Arena dressed in just a white strapless bikini with dripping jewels, McRae began her performance with a stripped down, nearly orchestral rendition of “Revolving Door.” As she walked back through rows upon rows of shirtless, statuesque male dancers, she lamented her decision to “keep comin’ back like a revolvin’ door.”

But as her petrified dancers suddenly came to life, so did the singer. Being lifted up and twirled around the stage, McRae launched into the performance of her hit single “Sports Car,” as she popped, locked and twerked her way around the stage, through a pit of sand and even above her dancers’ heads. Strutting across the stage, McRae showed off her skills as a singer, dancer and live performer with her performance at the ceremony.

Hosted by LL Cool J, the annual award ceremony brought stars from across music together. Lady Gaga led the nominations with a whopping 12 nods at the annual ceremony, followed closely by her “Die With a Smile” partner Bruno Mars with 11 nominations and Kendrick Lamar with 10. Mariah Carey, meanwhile, was set to receive the coveted Video Vanguard Award. For her part, McRae earned four nods, including for best pop artist and song of the year for “Sports Car.”

Meanwhile, McRae was far from the only performer at the ceremony, with performances throughout the evening from stars such as Sabrina Carpenter, Conan Gray, Jelly Roll and sombr.

Doja Cat Dances Through ‘Jealous Type’ With Kenny G to Kick Off VMAs

Doja Cat continued her streak of visually dazzling awards show performances with a fabulously retro presentation of new single “Jealous Type” to kick off the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night (Sept. 7).

After LL Cool J introduced the evening, Doja cut him off mid-sentence via a glitched-out, ‘80s-fied video — then appeared onstage alongside none other than Kenny G, whose smooth jazz nicely led into her lovingly retro single. Doja Cat showed off her choreography skills, vocal theatrics and seasoned rap flow throughout the performance, which culminated in a dance breakdown with the pop star flanked by a guitarist and keytar player strutting with her step by step.

The “Jealous Type” showcase was a knowing wink towards MTV’s roots, mixed with a forward-thinking pop sensibility. The audience at the VMAs ceremony responded in kind with rapturous applause.

Produced by Y2K and Jack Antonoff, “Jealous Type” was released last month as the lead single to Doja Cat’s upcoming fifth studio album, Vie, which is due out Sept. 26. The song debuted at No. 28 on the Hot 100 chart. Two singles from Doja’s previous album, 2023’s Scarlet, reached the top 10 of the chart.

“Jealous Type” is nominated for the Song of Summer award at this year’s Video Music Awards, which are being held at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. Meanwhile, Doja Cat won Best K-Pop at the ceremony alongside LISA and Raye for their collaboration, “Born Again,” from earlier this year.
