Bowen Yang and Ariana Grande took advantage of having the iconic Stevie Nicks in their presence.
In a new promo for the upcoming Oct. 12 episode of Saturday Night Live, Grande and Yang discuss Grande returning as host of the sketch comedy series. “You know what they say, lightning strikes once, maybe twice,” the Wicked star says in reference to Fleetwood Mac’s 1982 hit, “Gypsy,” hoping that Nicks might sing along.
“You can’t trick me into singing,” Nicks tells the crew, with Yang and Grande nodding in agreement before discussing how their weekend went. “It was good, you know, I climbed a mountain and I turned around,” Grande says.
“That’s so funny, because I saw my reflection on the snow-covered hills,” Yang responds, finally prompting Nicks to complete the lyrics of Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 classic, “Landslide,” by singing, “And the landslide brought me down.”
This weekend’s stint will mark Grande’s second time helming SNL, following her hosting debut in 2016. Following the release of her Billboard 200-topping album Eternal Sunshine earlier this year, the Grammy winner served as musical guest on a Josh Brolin-hosted episode of the show in March, and participated in a couple sketches, including a Moulin Rouge parody with Yang. Meanwhile, Nicks will be the musical guest for the first time since 1983. Fleetwood Mac has never performed on the show.
Watch the promo below, and catch the full episode of Saturday Night Live this weekend (Oct. 12) at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC and streams on Peacock.

The “big three” conversation is a tiresome one in rap. With Kendrick Lamar,Drake and J. Cole still running strong as commercial titans from the 2010s, fans and critics have been trying to identify the next class to fill their shoes.
Billboard Unfilteredreturned with a new episode on Thursday (Oct. 10) as Staff Writer Kyle Denis, Deputy Director R&B/Hip-Hop Carl Lamarre and Senior Charts & Data Analyst Trevor Anderson debated who could crash the big three party.
Denis believes Tyler, The Creator is one of the tastemakers trailblazing for the next generation of rap and should be more highlighted in big three conversations.
“I think that combo of his acclaim, his success — we know he can sell, we know he can tour, we know he can headline major festivals. He’s beloved across genres,” he said. “He’s been pretty consistent on an upward trajectory for these last couple years.”
A more heated debate broke out surrounding Doja Cat and her résumé fitting into today’s rap landscape. “For me as well, I think what she needs to do to bolster her résumé — she just needs a No. 1 album,” Lamarre said. “That’s a glaring blemish on her résumé.”
Tommy Richman made the bizarre decision to not include his Billboard Hot 100 hits “Million Dollar Baby” and “Devil Is a Lie” on his Coyote LP. After listening to Richman’s debut, Anderson didn’t see why the pair of bangers couldn’t have been a fit on the project.
“Only Tommy Richman knows what a Tommy Richman album is supposed to sound like,” Anderson said. “When I heard the album, it’s not like, ‘Oh, I can clearly see why ‘Million Dollar Baby’ wasn’t on there.’ It doesn’t sound different to me where it wouldn’t have fit. Maybe it’s to prove something.”
Denis chimed in: “I feel like this is a business versus art thing for him. Do I care that much?” Coyote didn’t chart on this week’s Billboard 200 after selling about 4,300 copies in the first week, per Luminate.

Rebranded as Punk You, producer Sophie Watts and entrepreneur Joe White have brought back the legendary prank show with the help of Punk’d co-creator Jason Goldberg, and their latest victim is Sexyy Red.
The eight-minute video on the Punk You YouTube channel shows the St. Louis rapper and a group of family and friends getting ready to hang out in a Texas mansion in the middle of woods for a couple days. They already feel like the vibes are off with one of Sexyy’s friends suggesting that they hit a strip club instead staying in to watch movies. “I’m stressed out tonight,” she says. “I need to go out. See some big booty freaks.” They then realize that they’re surrounded by woods and Sexyy tells them she doesn’t feel right. “I’m getting weird feelings and stuff,” she tells them while curled up on the couch. “I’m getting chills, nah, this is weird.”
Her suspicions are confirmed once the lights start to flicker and Sexyy gets goosebumps. The TV starts to bug out and an image of a little girl flashes on the screen through the static, and of course, everyone starts to freak out and Sexyy tries to leave. Her head of security is in on the prank, though, and tells her that he went to the store to pick up some Backwoods. Sexyy then Facetimed a friend to break down what happened, but her friends were denying that they noticed anything. And that’s when all hell breaks lose.
This iteration of Punk’d is made for the digital era that we’re in. “This is a format that we’ve specifically designed for social media,” said Watts while talking on-stage during Adweek‘s Brandweek.
So far, Punk You has done episodes pranking streamers Jynxzi and Stretch, and NLE Choppa.

JoJo Siwa is a fan of Beyoncé, even if a joke she made at the Industry Dance Awards did stir the pot this week.

Luke Bryan Clarifies His Comments on CMA Awards Snubbing Beyoncé After Getting Backlash
The Dance Moms alum jumped in on a runaway internet bit Tuesday (Oct. 8) when she shouted out the “Break My Soul” vocalist on stage at the ceremony, telling the crowd: “I also have to say thank you to Beyoncé, just so that we can keep the dancing community safe.”
“Beyoncé, you’ve got great music,” Siwa added at the time as audience members simultaneously groaned and laughed. “We all love to dance to it. We all love you. … Someone had to, and I will be the someone.”
Though the “Karma” singer’s thank-you may seem genuine enough, it actually ties back to a trend of some social media users jokingly giving Bey flowers at every opportunity to stay on her good side and/or maintain prosperous careers. Some people, however, have applied a darker meaning to the joke amid so-far unsubstantiated rumors that the 32-time Grammy winner and Jay-Z are linked to Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged crimes, as the Bad Boy Records founder is currently being held in custody as he awaits trial for charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
When asked about her joke by Us Weeklyone day after the Industry Dance Awards, Siwa said, “the internet’s going to run with whatever it is they run with.”
“They do their thing, and I can’t predict what they’re going to do,” the 21-year-old TikTok star added. “I think Beyoncé is great and she’s written a lot of incredible music that we’ve all used [and danced to].”
But while Siwa and other people on the internet aren’t taking certain comments about Bey seriously, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” artist’s legal team is. After Piers Morgan platformed Jaguar Wright on his show Uncensored, allowing the singer-songwriter to make claims about the Carters being “monsters” who have hundreds of victims, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s lawyer instructed the polarizing media personality to remove the content from his channel — and Morgan obliged.
“Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were totally false and have no basis in fact,” Morgan said on another episode of his show earlier this week. “We’ve therefore complied with the legal request to cut them from the original interview. Editing interviews is not something we do lightly on a show called Uncensored. But, like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”

The song, which released back in 2003, is tied to a filter where users try to line up the features on their face as they fall from the sky.

More than two months after a Taylor Swift-themed children’s dance class became the site of a deadly stabbing — in which three children died and several more people were injured — Prince William and Kate Middleton visited Southport, England, on Thursday (Oct. 10) to join the town in paying respects to the victims and their families.

Taylor Swift ‘Completely in Shock’ After Deadly Stabbings at Dance Class Celebrating…
According to People, the royal couple met privately with the families of the three young girls who were killed in the July 29 attack, as well as the dance teacher who was there when it occurred. Eight other children and two adults were also injured in the mass stabbing, for which a 17-year-old knifeman has since been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also reportedly spoke with the Southport first responders who were dispatched to the crime scene about how the traumatizing experience impacted their mental health — a timely topic of discussion, given that Oct. 10 is World Mental Health Day.
“A heartfelt thank you to the people of Southport for talking about your experiences and honouring the young lives lost,” reads a message on Will and Kate’s official Instagram, alongside a video of footage from the couple’s visit. “In the face of tragedy, this community’s strength and resilience has been a powerful reminder of the bonds that unite us. As the healing continues, take comfort in the incredible support around you. Each shared memory, act of kindness, and moment of unity brings hope for the future and ensures that those lost are never forgotten.”
The outing marked Middleton’s first public engagement since announcing in September that she’d completed chemotherapy. Six months prior, the princess revealed that she’d been diagnosed with cancer and would be undergoing treatment.
Before the royal couple’s visit to Southport, Swift also met with families affected by the attack backstage at one of her August Eras Tour shows in London. In July, the pop star wrote that she was “completely in shock” over the tragedy in a statement shared to her Instagram, adding that the “horror” of the violence was “washing over [her] continuously.”
“The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders,” she added at the time. “These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”

In the two years that the Recording Academy has presented a Grammy for songwriter of the year, non-classical, four women have been nominated for the award. Amy Allen, Nija Charles and Laura Veltz were nominated in the category’s inaugural year. Jessie Jo Dillon was nominated at the ceremony in February.

Men won both years. Tobias Jesso Jr. won in 2023 for writing songs by such artists as Harry Styles, Adele and FKA Twigs. Theron Thomas won earlier this year for writing songs by such artists as Lil Durk featuring J. Cole, Tyla and Chlöe.
The list of 61 songwriters vying for nominations in that category this year includes 20 women, one of whom may make history as the first woman to win in the category.
The list includes two women who have already won Grammys – Allen, who won album of the year in 2023 for her songwriting contributions to Harry Styles’ Harry’s House, and Diane Warren, who won best song written specifically for a motion picture or for television in 1997 for “Because You Loved Me” from the Michelle Pfeiffer film Up Close and Personal.
This year’s entry list also includes eight women who have been nominated for one or more Grammys, but have yet to win – Dillon, Sarah Aarons, Caroline Ailin, Jessi Alexander, Brittany Amaradio (aka Delacey), Ink (Atia Boggs), Ali Tamposi and Emily Warren.
The list also includes 10 women who are vying for their first Grammy nomination – Elizabeth Lowell Boland, Jessie Early, Julia Gargano, Sarah Hudson, Lauren Lee Hungate, Steph Jones, Kayla Morrison, RAYE, Sasha Alex Sloan and Betsy Walter.
You may be surprised to see RAYE on the list, due to the academy’s focus in this category on non-artists. To qualify for the award, writers “must have written a minimum of five songs in which they are credited solely as a songwriter or co-writer” (and not also as a primary or featured artist, or producer). But if they meet that threshold, they may also have written or co-written tracks on which they were the artist.
RAYE qualified because in addition to writing for herself, she writes for other artists. Her entries this year include Rita Ora’s “Ask & You Shall Receive,” Halle’s “Because I Love You,” Jennifer Lopez’s “Dear Ben Pt. II,” Beyoncé’s “Riiverdance,” and Neiked’s “You’re Hired” (featuring Ayra Starr).
Nominated songwriters can come from any musical field, except classical. Those composers are recognized in the best contemporary classical composition category.
Will any of these women be nominated for songwriter of the year, non-classical? We’ll find out on Nov. 8 when the nominees are announced. Winners will be revealed on Feb. 2.
As a bonus, here are the first women to win in 10 other songwriting categories at the Grammys.
Song of the year: Carole King in 1972 for writing “You’ve Got a Friend,” which was featured on her Tapestry album and was also a No. 1 Hot 100 hit for James Taylor. It took a while for a woman to win this award: This was the category’s 14th year. King later also became the first woman to win the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
Best rock song: Alanis Morisette in 1996 for co-writing “You Oughta Know,” the most incendiary track on her Jagged Little Pill album, with Glen Ballard. This was the category’s fifth year.
Best R&B song: Betty Wright in 1976, for co-writing her track “Where Is the Love” with Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch (both of KC and the Sunshine Band) and Willie Clarke. Note: This is not the far more famous Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway song of the same title, but confusion with that classic may have worked to this song’s benefit. This was the category’s eighth year.
Best rap song: Miri Ben Ari in 2005, for co-writing Ye’s “Jesus Walks” with Che Smith and Kanye West (as Ye was then known). This was the category’s second year.
Best country song: Debbie Hupp in 1980, for co-writing the Kenny Rogers ballad hit “You Decorated My Life” with Bob Morrison. This was the category’s 16th year.
Best song written for visual media: Cynthia Weil in 1988, for co-writing the Linda Ronstadt & James Ingram hit “Somewhere Out There” (from An American Tail) with her husband and longtime collaborator Barry Mann and film composer James Horner. This was the category’s first year. (The ballad also won song of the year.)
Best American roots song: Edie Brickell in 2014 for cowriting “Love Has Come for You” with Steve Martin. They also recorded the song. This was the category’s first year.
Best gospel song: Yolanda Adams in 2006 for cowriting her track “Be Blessed” with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and James Q. Wright. This was the category’s first year. The award is now known as best gospel performance/song.
Best contemporary Christian song: Laura Story in 2012 for writing her own track “Blessings.” This was the category’s third year. The award is now known as best contemporary Christan music performance/song.
Best contemporary classical composition: Joan Tower in 2008 for composing “Made in America.” This was the category’s 30th year.

Pharrell Williams is the latest guest to test his taste buds on Hot Ones, and while he was feeling the heat of the increasingly spicy chicken wings before him, the multi-hyphenate artist opened up about working with some of his long list of collaborators.
When host Sean Evans asked him about his teenage years “jamming out” with soon-to-be fellow superstars like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, the Clipse and more, Williams that it felt like “kids having fun.”
He continued, “We didn’t know where it was going to end up. That’s the thing, falling in love with the process. It’s not necessarily the ‘there,’ it’s the ‘getting there,’ it’s the ‘going,’ it’s the process, it’s the journey.”
Later on in the interview, Evans listed off some of Williams collaborators, and challenged him to share his first thought about them in the studio. With Daft Punk, Williams noted that being in the studio with a “robot” is “euphoric, because you’re around two absolute masters.”
Beck, Williams says, is “one of the most eclectic people with one of the deepest mental libraries of all kinds of records,” calling him a “walking almanac.” He wrapped up by calling N.O.R.E. “so funny, bombastic with the energy he wants to evoke when he’s making a song.”
Beyond releasing his biographical Lego film, Piece by Piece, on Oct. 11, it’s gearing up to be an exciting next few months for Williams. The star will serve as a co-chair for the 2025 Met Gala among a group of Black men including Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and honorary chair LeBron James.
This year’s theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
Williams’ Something in the Water festival will also return in April 2025 after being postponed last month. “Dearest Virginia, I love you with all my heart,” he wrote in a statement at the time. “Nobody loves you more than I do. Virginia doesn’t deserve better, Virginia deserves THE BEST. So SOMETHING IN THE WATER has to match that. It just isn’t ready yet.”
