First things first: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce need to tie the knot and the Kansas City Chiefs need to rebound from a disastrous 2025-2026 season to make it to next year’s Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

But if those two things happen before next Feb. 14, it’s possible that one of the most-watched celebrity couples on the planet may have to delay their first Valentine’s Day as a married couple to let Kelce go to work. On Wednesday’s (May 20) episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce lamented that next year’s big game happens to fall on the same date as the romantic holiday.

“I don’t think I could ever remember it being that late in February,” Kelce, 36, noted after the NFL announced the locations and dates for the next few Super Bowls this week. “In my mind, it’s, what’s going on? Is it just kinda how the month of September starts here?”

Brother Jason weighed in and said he seemed to remember V-Day being close to the Super Bowl in the past and recalled it being “big news” for men to be watching the game on the day reserved for romance.

For its first 35 years, the Super Bowl was played in January. It began creeping into February in 2002, when it took place on Feb. 3 in the Superdome in New Orleans. For the next 20 years it bounced around the first week of February, getting as close to Feb. 13 in 2022.

So, while it’s possible next year’s game could delay Taylor and Travis’ Valentine’s plans, at this point the couple — who got engaged last August — have not revealed any details about their nuptials, so it’s not even clear they will officially be married come February, though it’s widely expected that they will tie the knot this summer.

First, though, the Chiefs need to bounce back from one of Kelce’s statistically worst full seasons as a professional tight end and quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ devastating ACL/LCL tear during a game on Dec. 14 against the Chargers that knocked the three-time Super Bowl champ out for the rest of the season. Mahomes underwent surgery the next day and while he is reportedly on track for a return this season it’s unclear if he will be available to start the season.

Either way, Swift is used to cheering Kelce on during the championship game, supporting him when the team won in 2024 and then again in 2025, when they lost to Jason’s former team, the Philadelphia Eagles. A silver lining to it all is that while Travis will be playing the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving this November, the Chiefs are not on the scheduled for the NFL’s Christmas Day roster.

One year after Taylor Swift blew attendees’ minds when she hopped on stage unannounced for a surprise performance at fiancé Travis Kelce‘s Tight End University event, TEU and partner Sports Illustrated announced the return of the Tight Ends & Friends concert for 2026 on Wednesday (May 20).

While the lineup will drop at a later date, it was announced that the show will take place June 23 at The Pinnacle in Nashville. Tickets are on sale now via Tight End University’s website.

Produced in partnership with SI‘s parent company, Authentic Brands Group, the concert is part of TEU’s annual week of programming for fans 18+, with the press release promising “top-tier country music talent, high-energy performances and special guests.” This year’s Tight End University will take place between June 22-25 and, in addition to the concert, will allow the public to attend the training and field work.

TEU was formed by famed NFL tight ends Kelce, San Francisco 49ers’ George Kittle and former Bears/Panthers player Greg Olsen, with last year’s inaugural event featuring a set from Kane Brown, as well as Swift performing a surprise “Shake It Off” with Brown’s band.

“Tight Ends and Friends is everything TEU stands for: the brotherhood, the celebration, the fans and the moments that nobody sees coming,” said Olsen in a statement. “What we built last year in Nashville was something truly special, and this summer we are taking it to another level entirely.”

Kelce said Swift’s surprise performance last year was so last minute that she didn’t even have time to rehearse. “We’re in Nashville, she grew up in Nashville — she moved there when she was younger,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast last July. “We had this plan for a while that we were going to have some fun with the tight ends. I won’t say when the idea came up, but when we were there at Tight End and Friends, and we knew there was a professional like Kane Brown, who can just, he can figure it out. He’s a pro. Tay just kind of went up to him and the band and went, ‘Hey, if you guys are down, I’ll go up there, play a song and see if we can pop the roof off this place.’”

TEU brings together players, legends and fans for an immersive week of competition, camaraderie and culture.

When summertime calls, the King of Dancehall answers.

On Wednesday (May 20), Billboard can exclusively reveal that Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel will unleash his new God & Time album on June 5 via TJ Records and Vybz Kartel Muzik, with Zojack Worldwide handling distribution. Pre-order is available now, alongside the release of the album’s faith-rooted title track and accompanying music video.

Featuring several high-profile guest stars — including Latin Grammy-winning reggaetonero Farruko, Grammy-nominated pop-dancehall princess Shenseea and contemporary Jamaican music star Skillibeng — God & Time follows two consecutive Grammy-nominated projects from the King of Dancehall. Both 2024’s Party With Me, which arrived around the time of his release from prison, and 2025’s Heart & Soul earned nods for best reggae album, marking Kartel’s first nominations at the ceremony.

“I named the album God & Time because it’s a slang that has been popular in Jamaica since we was children,” Kartel tells Billboard. “When I was in prison, my lawyer used to always say that to me. I eventually just started believing in myself and applying it to my life.” 

For God & Time, Kartel re-teamed with the same creatives behind 2015’s Viking (Vybz Is King) and 2016’s King of the Dancehall, the latter of which spawned “Fever,” a defining song for 2010s dancehall. Introduced by the Shenseea-assisted lead single “Panic,” God & Time is set to feature Kartel’s signature blend of self-reflection, waist-wining riddims and genre-bending crossover records. “You can expect Vybz Kartel energy; the flow will be different, and the lyrics will be amazing,” he says, also teasing a few more surprise collaborations on the album.

Notably, God & Time will also survey the depths of Kartel’s psyche and the full range of his emotions following his triumphant release from prison in 2024. On Aug. 6, 2024, Kartel regained his freedom after the Court of Appeal unanimously ruled that he and his co-accused — Shawn Campbell, Kahira Jones and Andre St. John — would not face a new trial for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. Although he was originally sentenced to 35 years in prison after a historic 64-day trial back in 2014, Kartel (and his co-accused) have always denied their involvement in Williams’ death.

Since his release, Kartel has seized his second chance at life beyond bars, mounting a massive Freedom Street concert in Kingston to bring in 2025, popping out at Drake’s Wireless Festival takeover that summer and playing his own Worl’ Boss Tour in venues across the U.K., Europe and the United States. Earlier this month, he appeared on Chris Brown’s “F—k and Party,” a cut from the R&B superstar’s Brown LP, which debuted at No. 7 on the May 23-dated Billboard 200 ranking.

What have been some of the most notable trends on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart over the past five years?

ChartCipher has released its new trend report spotlighting Radio Songs hits from 2021 through 2025, encompassing all titles, whether they peaked at No. one or No. 50. (“Using AI, ChartCipher extracts granular data for the compositional, lyrical and sonic qualities of songs and delivers insights into the qualities shaping today’s hits,” the company notes in the report.)

Below are three key takeaways from ChartCipher’s latest research.

Rock Is on the Rise, While Pop Drops

“Rock posted the clearest gain of any genre in Radio Songs between 2021 and 2025, rising from 10% to 24% and more than doubling its footprint by the end of the period,” ChartCipher found.

Standout examples of rock hits that scaled Radio Songs in that span include sombr’s “Back to Friends,” Hozier’s “Too Sweet” and Glass Animals’ “Heat Waves.” (ChartCipher’s definition of rock includes alternative.)

Meanwhile, rock’s ascent “stands in sharp contrast to pop, which fell from 52% in 2021 to 35% in 2025 after peaking at 55% in 2022,” ChartCipher stated. Still, pop “remained the most represented genre for most of the period.”

Plus, “Country was comparatively steady, moving from 31% to 29% and briefly overtaking pop in 2024 at 33% versus 32%.”

Recapping the five most prominent primary genres for 2025 among Radio Songs hits: pop, 35%; country, 29%; rock, 24%; hip-hop/rap, 20%; and dance/club/electronic, 6%.

In 2021, the top five were: pop, 52%; country, 31%; hip-hop/rap, 20%; rock, 10%; and R&B/soul, 6%.

Drum and Bass Were Nearly Universal

What instruments were most commonly heard in Radio Songs hits over the last five years?

“Prominent drums and bass were nearly universal across the entire period,” ChartCipher compiled, with the instruments claiming nearly identical shares of between 93% and 96%.

As rock gained, “Guitar slightly grew from 60% in 2021 to 68% in 2025.

“Piano, on the other hand, moved in the opposite direction, falling sharply from 35% in 2021 to just 11% in 2025 — a drop of nearly two-thirds,” per Chart Cipher.

Still, hits by piano men — and women — in that stretch included Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need,” David Guetta and Bebe Rexha’s “I’m Good (Blue)” and Justin Bieber’s “Holy,” featuring Chance The Rapper.

Most Common Lyrical Moods Revealed

“The two most prevalent lyrical moods in every year of the five-year period were cynical and detached,” according to ChartCipher. Further, “The largest increases between 2021 and 2025 came from cynical and detached, which rose by 29 and 19 percentage points, respectively, to 75% and 57%.”

Plus, “anger increased by 16 percentage points to 40%.”

Wait, there’s positive news! ChartCipher reported that happy (38%) and optimistic (37%) rose to their highest shares of the five-year measurement in 2025, alongside the moods noted above. Especially happy hits on Radio Songs in that span include ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.,” Nicky Youre and Dazy’s “Sunroof” and, naturally, Post Malone’s “I Like You (A Happier Song),” featuring Doja Cat.

In the new three-part documentary Kylie that debuts today (May 20) on Netflix, Australian superstar singer Kylie Minogue reveals that a routine checkup in 2021 led to a second cancer diagnosis after the singer received treatment for breast cancer in 2005.

“My second cancer diagnosis was in early 2021. I was able to keep that to myself,” Minogue, 57 says in the film, according to the BBC. “Not like the first time. “Thankfully, I got through it, again, and all is well. Hey, who knows what’s around the corner, but pop music nurtures me… my passion for music is greater than ever.”

Minogue says she struggled to “find the right time” to talk about her second diagnosis, which came before the global success of her Grammy-winning 2023 dance pop smash “Padam Padam.” “I don’t feel obliged to tell the world, and actually I just couldn’t at the time because I was just a shell of a person,” she said. “I didn’t want to leave the house again at one point. ‘Padam Padam’ opened so many doors for me but on the inside I knew that cancer wasn’t just a blip in my life. And I really just wanted to say what happened so I can let go of it. I’d sit through interviews and every opportunity I thought, ‘now’s the time’, but I kept it to myself.”

While she didn’t discuss her second diagnosis with reporters or fans, Minogue did hide some Easter eggs in the lyrics of her 2023 Tension album. The song “Story” features the lines, “I had a secret that I kept to myself/ Turn another page, baby take the stage.” She explains that she “needed to have something that marked that time.”

Though she kept mum about the 2021 diagnosis, Minogue said she’s sharing the details now in the hopes that “someone out there who will benefit from a gentle reminder to do their checkups.”

After her first diagnosis in 2005, Minogue had to cancel the rest of her Showgirl hits tour and pull out of a headlining legends slot set at the Glastonbury festival in order to get a lumpectomy and chemotherapy. In a trailer for the doc, Minogue says “I felt removed from my body … I was so scared of what was ahead of me,” amid flashing headlines about her first cancer diagnosis.

Minogue was declared cancer-free in February 2006 and was praised for helping to raise awareness about the disease that the WHO reported resulted in more than 2.3 million women being diagnosed in 2022, leading to 670,000 deaths globally. The uptick in women getting screenings in the wake of Minogue coming forward, especially in Australia, was referred to as the “Kylie effect.”
