Justin Bieber is empathizing with grieving fans following the death of Liam Payne.

Five days after the former One Direction star died at 31 years old after falling from the third story of his hotel in Buenos Aires, the “Sorry” singer reposted an emotional reel of videos taken at fan memorials for Payne all around the world via his Instagram Story on Monday (Oct. 21). “Just remember, you are allowed to grieve as a fan,” a voice-over on the video states.

“You are allowed to love someone you never met,” it continues. “You are allowed to admire someone for their art. You are allowed to cry, to pray, to feel like a part of you is gone. Even if they never knew your name, they changed your world.”

Over the video, the “Baby” artist added a simple heartbreak emoji.

As seen in the video shared by Bieber, fans have been gathering in London, Glasgow, Paris, Sydney, New York City and more locations to sing and cry together while mourning Payne with flowers, photos and candles. The musician died Oct. 16 and is survived by a 7-year-old son, Bear.

Payne is believed to have been alone when he died, according to a recent preliminary autopsy report. Moments before he fell to his death, a hotel manager called 911 to report that a guest was “overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol” and “destroying [their] entire room”; by the time police arrived in response, the “Strip That Down” artist had already fallen and suffered multiple fatal hemorrhages.

The initial autopsy also concluded that Payne likely had drugs in his system when he died, which new toxicology test results confirm. Among those substances was a recreational drug called “pink cocaine” — a mix of substances that often contains ketamine combined with MDMA, methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids and/or psychoactive substances — and authorities are currently investigating who provided Payne with the drugs.

Bieber is just the latest star to post in the aftermath of Payne’s death, with the late singer’s sisters, girlfriend and former One Direction bandmates all posting statements over the past few days. In 2022, Payne opened up about a time he met up with Bieber in a trailer to defuse perceived tensions between 1D and two-time Grammy winner, telling Logan Paul: “I was like, ‘Dude, I’ve always felt for you … I’ve done all the things you’ve done and I’ve never been caught for any of them.’”

Payne also said at the time that he’d told Bieber that they both “suffer from the same disease,” but that he’d at least had bandmates to lean on in hard times. “‘And I know in your camp you’re you and there’s no one like you, so you can’t turn around and have that shoulder,’” Payne recalled telling Bieber. “And he was like, ‘Bro, that’s giving me chills.’”

Streams and sales of music from One Direction and Liam Payne surged both in the U.S. and globally following Payne’s Oct. 16 death in Buenos Aires, as listeners flocked to both the late 31-year-old’s solo material and the influential boyband in which he starred.

Sure, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart are best friends, but it doesn’t mean they agree on everything.

The duo appeared alongside Seth Meyers on a new episode of Watch What Happens Live, where host Andy Cohen led a game of “Do! Besties! Give a Damn!?,” in which he asked Meyers if he thinks Snoop and Stewart “give a damn” about various current pop culture moments.

The duo agreed on most topics that were presented, as they do care about the upcoming Wicked film, do not care about Ina Garten’s new memoir, do care about Kim Kardashian working to free the Menendez brothers from prison and do care about the viral pygmy hippo, Moo Deng.

However, they disagreed on one major topic. Meyers guessed that Snoop and Stewart don’t “give a damn” about where in New York City Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce dined out, and Snoop agreed. Stewart then quickly chimed in that she does, in fact, care where the superstar couple went out to eat. “I like to go where they go. They’re cute,” she explained as her reasoning.

Swift and Kelce are often spotted on date nights in New York City. Earlier this month, the duo hit up Torrisi restaurant in Nolita, just a day after having a double date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds at SoHo’s The Corner Store.

Bunnie XO is in proud wife mode after Jelly Roll scored his first-ever No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with Beautifully Broken this week.

Shortly after it was announced Monday (Oct. 21) that the country star had topped the U.S. ranking — beating out other competitive new releases from Rod Wave and Charli XCX — the Dumb Blonde podcaster reshared Billboard‘s post about her husband’s feat on her Instagram Story. “You guys!” Bunnie wrote, adding a sobbing emoji. “We did it!!!!!!” the influencer added triumphantly.

Following its Oct. 10 release, Beautifully Broken opened its first week with 161,000 equivalent album units, 114,000 of which were album sales — marking Jelly’s largest sales week yet. The triumph follows his previous peak on the Billboard 200 in 2023 with Whitsitt Chapel, which bowed at No. 3 on the chart.

Bunnie has long been her husband’s most vocal supporter. Just a couple of weeks before Jelly topped the Billboard 200, the Internet personality shared a TikTok showing how she cuddles up to her husband even while he’s warming up his vocals before a show — “I’m just there for moral & emotional support,” she wrote at the time.

As Jelly’s career continues to take off, the couple is also in the midst of their IVF journey. The “Son of a Sinner” singer first revealed in June that they were pursuing fertility treatments on an episode of Bussin’ With the Boys, after which Bunnie confirmed on her own show that she’s in her “baby mama gardening era.”

“We had planned on doing this privately, but decided our IVF journey needed to be shared because we’ve always been so open,” she later added on Instagram. “And w/ all odds stacked against us, it’s already been hard and we have only just begun. We have been meeting with IVF doctors & exploring all our options to add to our family.”

Thalia and Maria Becerra sat down for a candid conversation about mental health and fame during the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week.

During the 30-minute discussion the Mexican pop diva and Argentine artist—who in the summer took a break from social media to focus on her mental health—got up-close and personal about accountability, haters, and having a positive mindset.

Below, check out some of the best quotes from their conversation:

Thalia on the term “Mental Health”: “Honestly, it’s something new. I didn’t have this in my teenage years when you most need it. This didn’t exist, so you had to kind of like eat it up and move on. You had no choice.”

Maria on Social Media Exposure: “Social media is very important in everyone’s mental health. This exposure 24/7 and feeling the need or pressure of having to show what you are doing but on top of showing what I’m doing, it has to look nice, look aesthetic. Like you know everyone will talk about it, it’s so much exposure.”

Thalia on Being Yourself: “You go viral when you are yourself. When you are honest, when you are in the moment, you are sharing, you connect with people. When you do it to try and reach a number because a person is doing good and you want that or better and you do it in a similar way, you lose your essence and you lose your way.”

Thalia on Faith: “In terms of the Bible, I am a Christian and I love the word. It’s my strength and what keeps me going in all this madness of this world that we face every day. It’s that. Don’t bring things from the past into the present. I already forgave you, I took it from you, don’t keep on punishing yourself. Nobody should point a finger at you. Live your life in peace doing honorable things, doing things that make you grow spiritually, spreading good vibes to people who cross paths with you, in your career giving out positive things.”

Maria on Discipline: “You can be talented and do a lot of things but discipline will get you there.  It’s the hard work. Getting up after three days of work of doing three shows in a row with five hours of sleep… and you miss your family and you feel bad and you eat bad, but you are there giving your 100%. That extra you give, always giving in an extra is what makes the difference. It’s what creates excellence.”

Maria on Ignoring the Haters: “Try to put aside all this pressure that’s so big and understand that maybe it’s other people’s objections that they are projecting on me, and trying to not take things personally. Understanding that this person does not know me, it’s nothing and it will pass.”

Thalia on Finding a Support System: “You can work on your body. Working out, which is wonderful, getting oxygen, breathing, eating well, your nutrition, your water. Spiritually, keeping a line, having faith. You can work on all that but sometimes there’s an unbalance in your brain or hormonal, and you need someone to guide you and tell you it’s going to be ok. You need a support system.”
