Kelly Clarkson took the second star to the right on Wednesday (May 11), performing Kelsea Ballerini‘s “Peter Pan” to open The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Accompanied by just her pianist, the multi-hyphenate pared Ballerini’s 2016 country hit down to a tender ballad, singing, “You’re just a lost boy with your head up in the clouds/ You’re just a lost boy, never keep your feet on the ground/ You’re always gonna fly away just because you know you can/ You’re never gonna learn there’s no such place as Neverland/ You don’t understand, you’ll never grow up/ You’re never gonna be a man, Peter Pan.”

Released as the third single from Ballerini’s 2015 debut album The First Time, the track completed the young country singer’s hat trick atop the Country Airplay chart following fellow No. 1s “Love Me Like You Mean It” and “Dibs.” It also earned Ballerini her first — and so far lone — No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

After wrapping up her daily “Kellyoke” number, Clarkson chatted up guests Michelle Pfeiffer and Dakota Fanning about their new Showtime series The First Lady — in which the pair play, respectively, Betty Ford and her daughter Susan — as well as about working together more than two decades ago on Fanning’s first film, 2001’s I Am Sam.

Her take on “Peter Pan” wasn’t the only musical moment in the show, either. Later, she welcomed Rick Springfield to the show to perform his classic song “Jessie’s Girl” in honor of the track’s recent 40th anniversary.

Watch Clarkson’s rendition of Ballerini’s “Peter Pan” below.

On Wednesday (May 11), Casanova pleaded guilty to two counts — for racketeering and marijuana conspiracies — after his alleged involvement with a gang.

Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, claims that Casanova (né Caswell Senior) played a “leadership role in the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods Gang (‘Gorilla Stone’) in Westchester County, New York City and Florida.” As part of his racketeering conspiracy offense, Casanova admitted to his involvement in a 2018 robbery at a Manhattan diner and a 2020 shooting in Miami following a “gambling dispute.” He was allegedly affiliated with the gang, which is described as “particularly violent,” from 2004 to December 2020.

Senior’s attorney James Kousouros tells Billboard, “Mr. Senior pled guilty to the racketeering conspiracy and in that regard he admitted to selling marijuana and a robbery in which he took a phone from a lady who refused to stop filming him. He deleted the videos and returned the phone to her. He is sincerely sorry for his involvement in this case and hopes that the Court will accept his remorse and positive plans for the future. Mr. Senior has every intention of giving back to the community in a positive way.”

Williams said in a statement, “Like 12 of his co-defendants, Caswell Senior, an accomplished recording artist and performer, now stands convicted of playing a leadership role in Gorilla Stone, a particularly violent Bloods gang that operates throughout New York and across the country. In addition to his supervisory role, Senior was an active, hands-on participant in the gang’s senseless violence, including a shooting in Miami and contributing to a robbery at a Manhattan diner.”

Senior is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern on the morning of Dec. 6.

Prior to his guilty plea, Casanova was poised for success in his music career. He peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s Next Big Sound chart in 2019 after the release of his album Behind These Scars. Chatting with Billboard at the time, Casanova was hopeful for the future and excited that his music was being recognized globally.

“I go out to these different places overseas and they recognize who I am, I’m shocked,” he said then. “Like right now I’m by myself and people can walk right by. But when you’re out in London by yourself and they call out your name it’s amazing and I love it. I think that’s because I’m beginning to travel more and people are getting to know who I am now more than ever.”

Per a statement from the DOJ, the maximum prison sentence for Senior’s charges is 60 years.

Luis Figueroa claims his third top 10 on Billboard’s Tropical Airplay chart as his latest single “Todavía Te Espero” jumps 12-10 on the May 14-dated survey.

The song, released March 24 via Sony Music Latin, rises to the upper tier with a 5% boost in audience impressions, to 2.6 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending May 8, according to Luminate.

One of the new voices of the salsa movement, Figueroa scored his first No. 1 on Tropical Airplay less than a year ago when his version of the 1993 classic “Hasta El Sol De Hoy” landed at the summit in July 2021.

“Todavía,” which was written by Luis Figueroa and ICON and produced by Motiff, is the first single from Figueroa’s eponymous upcoming album and follows the Puerto Rican’s second chart entry “Si Tú Me Dices Ven” (No. 6 peak, Oct. 2021).

Elsewhere, the track breaks into the all-Latin genre Latin Airplay chart at No. 45, also his third career entry there.

Future charted all 16 from the standard edition of his new album I Never Liked You on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated May 14), including the standout hit “Puffin on Zootiez.”

“Zootiez” stands at No. 4, just three spaces behind Future’s current chart topper “Wait for U,” featuring Drake and Tems.

If you need a guide to follow along with Future’s “Puffin on Zootiez,” find the lyrics below:

G5 the flight, man, I’m here in the sky
She finna tell me, “No way” and it’s cap
N—a, can’t even see me, I’m way in the sky
G5 the flight, a n—a way in the sky
G5 the flight, man, I’m way outta here (man, I’m way outta here)

G5 the flight, n—a, can’t even see me
I’m way outta here, I’m too far in the sky
Hermès ashtray to dump my ashes
Bi— so pretty, look better than Cassie
Puffin’ on zooties and she callin’ me daddy
Walkin’ on sh–, turn it up and not gas it
Came out the gutter, it ain’t nothin’ for me to swag it
Secure the bag, got a bi—, I’ma bag it
Turnin’ it up, gotta make sure sh– good
Park a two mil’ in the middle of my hood
Drinkin’ on mud, I made it out of the sewer
Chrome Heart accessories, whatever, I’m good
Lot of these n—as, they lookin’ the same
They copy my lingo, they bitin’ my chain
Championship, championship, Range just gon’ amp this sh–
Bi— break her neck just to look at the kid

Dirty the Fanta but make it in Canada
Bro get this money like it’s my religion
It’s gon’ be a mad day, a sad day for any of these n—as
That try to compare whatever I did
Damn near touched a hundred, it just off the gig
I came out the jungle, they kidnapped a kid
I trap out a bando, spent ten on a crib
I look at the ocean to spot thirty M’s
Pin it where I’m at, the city I’m in
I keep and go fully, no matter where I’m in
Her hair touch her ass, she gon’ think she Korean
You f—in’ me good, bi—, you helpin’ me win
N—as can’t see me, ain’t no competition
Too many bracelets, need a whole ‘nother wrist
I’m never sober, I’m thinkin’ ’bout quittin’
I pop the E, I can feel when it kick

G5 the flight, n—a, can’t even see me
I’m way outta here, I’m too far in the sky
Hermès ashtray to dump my ashes
Bi— so pretty, look better than Cassie
Puffin’ on zooties and she callin’ me daddy
Walkin’ on sh–, turn it up and not gas it
Came out the gutter, it ain’t nothin’ for me to swag it
Secure the bag, got a bi—, I’ma bag it
Turnin’ it up, gotta make sure sh– good
Park a two mil’ in the middle of my hood
Drinkin’ on mud, I made it out of the sewer
Chrome Heart accessories, whatever, I’m good
Lot of these n—as, they lookin’ the same
They copy my lingo, they bitin’ my chain
Championship, championship, Range just gon’ amp this sh–
Bi— break her neck just to look at the kid

Count up some millions and take some more drugs
Been stuck in my memory, they wasn’t showin’ love
Ain’t matching my fly, bi—, you know you a dub
I started this wave, and ain’t usin’ a brush
Stopped taking molly, now I’m back on the E
Flyin’ commercial, you ain’t high as me
Driving the spaceship, the one with the wings
Cross up the trap, I done broke down a key
Ain’t let no f— n—a holdin’ me back
Put a switch on it, these lil’ n—as whack
After I hit your bi—, givin’ her back
Ain’t got no roof, put her heart on a strap
Go to the moon, ain’t gon’ show you no slatt
Pluto tycoon, ain’t no regular cat
Took a few ‘shrooms, I forget where I’m at
Poppin’ a Tesla, I feel when it kick

G5 the flight, n—a, can’t even see me
I’m way outta here, I’m too far in the sky
Hermès ashtray to dump my ashes
Bi— so pretty, look better than Cassie
Puffin’ on zooties and she callin’ me daddy
Walkin’ on sh–, turn it up and not gas it
Came out the gutter, it ain’t nothin’ for me to swag it
Secure the bag, got a bi—, I’ma bag it
Turnin’ it up, gotta make sure sh– good
Park a two mil’ in the middle of my hood
Drinkin’ on mud, I made it out of the sewer
Chrome Heart accessories, whatever, I’m good
Lot of these n—as, they lookin’ the same
They copy my lingo, they bitin’ my chain
Championship, championship, Range just gon’ amp this sh–
Bi— break her neck just to look at the kid (look at the kid)
