Walmart+ Week takes place from June 17-23.

How to Join Walmart+

Don’t miss out! Walmart+ typically costs $98 for the annual membership, and $12.95 for the monthly membership after a 30-day free trial. Walmart offers different plans that will save you up to half off the membership plan.

For example, subscribe to the Walmart+ annual plan to save you around $5/month and over $100 per year on your Walmart+ subscription.

What is Walmart+? The subscription unlocks instant access to loads of benefits including shopping certain sales earlier than everyone else, special pricing and product releases. Walmart+ members also get a ton of freebies.

If you’re interested in more discount options, there are a couple of ways to join Walmart+ for $49 or 50% off the regular price — no promo code necessary. For starters, Walmart offers a government assistance program that slices the subscription price in half.

TikTok has become more than just a destination for watching funny videos and discovering the latest fashion trends — the social media platform also knows how to spot beauty products that deliver luxury results for a wallet-friendly price. The latest makeup tool to capture TikTokers’ attention is Milani’s Color Fetish Lip Stain, which has been deemed a “holy grail” for long-lasting color and hydration.

Some of the standout qualities that go beyond its $10 price tag include its wide range of colors and its use of plant-derived squalene and hyaluronic acid, which help deliver moisture and nourishment naturally. TikToker Vianney Strick has also gained more than 55,000 views for a review on the Color Fetish Lip Stain in the shade Mauve Mentality, describing its uses and benefits.

“It’s so glossy, looks stunning on its own or as a lip combo,” Strick says in the video. “Also, something super important: it looks wearable. It’s not bright pink or purple, it’s a beautiful shade.”

@vianneystrick

✨NEW DRUGSTORE LIP STAIN✨ ​this is the new Milani Cosmetics Color Fetish Hydrating Lip Stain! I have the shade “Mauve Mentality.” I love a lip stain but I hate when it’s drying. I was super excited to try a drugstore lip stain and it did not disappoint! ​(For the lip liner I used the Tower 28 lip liner in “work of art”) ​💓description & claims: ​Lip color goes low maintenance with Milani’s Color Fetish Hydrating Lip Stain. Buildable, glossy color transforms into a semi-matte stain. Lightweight formula cushions lips with Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane for up to 8HRS of hydration, comfort & wear.* $13.99 USD ​💓my opinion: ​I love everything about it! The color range is beautiful! I love the precise applicator for lining the lips. It’s super pretty and glossy and not goopy. Leaves a pretty stain behind and it doesn’t dry my lips out. Definitely a new drugstore favorite! @Milani @Ulta Beauty ​#milanilipstain #drugstorelipstain #lipstain #lipcombo #newdrugstoremakeup #makeupreview #milanicolourfestish

To help further prove its longevity, one TikTok influencer wore the lip stain on an 11-mile run while training for a half marathon and gave a first-hand review. Target has also labeled the lip product one of its most viral products seconding the “luxury results for less” point that reviewers have been talking up.

Milani Color Fetish Lip Stain

The $10 lip stain comes in a range of six shades including soft pinks and deep reds that’ll help complete your makeup looks whether it’s for date night or brunch with friends. Each application remains on for up to eight hours a day and it uses a vegan formula that will leave behind a semi-matte texture after drying.


How Long Does Lip Tint Stain Last?

This will depend on your wants and needs, as different brands’ lip stains won’t last the same amount of time. Milani’s Color Fetch Lip Stain starts off glossy, but with a lifespan of eight hours (according to the official description) the formula will eventually turn into a semi-matte stain.

Does Lip Stain Rub Off?

The goal of a quality lip stain is to eventually dry into a semi-permanent stain that’ll provide your lips with some color for a period of time. Milani’s version starts off glossy, which you can easily wipe off, but as it dries, it’ll leave behind a colored stain on your lips that’ll last all night.

The corresponding teaser clip features a preview of the  “Deja Vu” performance.

From Shaboozey‘s runaway breakout hit “A Bar Song” to Sabrina Carpenter‘s drawl-inflected “Please Please Please” and Post Malone and Morgan Wallen‘s Billboard Hot 100-topping “I Had Some Help,” country music is back on top. Of course, a major player in this moment, specifically in the platforming of Black country artists in this moment, is Beyoncé.

At the top of the year she unleashed her Billboard 200-topping Cowboy Carter, the second act of her still-unfurling trilogy, featuring a slew of rising Black country stars, including Reyna Roberts, who is a credited artist on “Blackbiird” and harmonizes in the background on “Tyrant.”

“From the very moment I heard my voice on [“Tyrant”], I couldn’t believe it,” Roberts gushed to Billboard backstage after her performance at Blavity House Party on Saturday (June 15). “I’m still so thankful that Beyoncé brought us onto a project and made us a little part of her legacy because people here weren’t doing that, but she did.”

Despite Black artists being foundational to the creation of what is now recognized as country music, the genre’s roots have been whitewashed and obfuscated by those who wanted to erase the contributions of key players such as Leslie Riddle, Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne, Arnold Schultz and Gus Cannon. With the release of Cowboy Carter — which, in addition to Roberts, featured collaborations with Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, Shaboozey, Willie Jones and the legendary Linda Martell — a mainstream Black country boom is unfolding in real-time.

None of the artists featured on Cowboy Carter are new to the country music industry. Many of them have been trying to break through for close to a decade, but Beyoncé’s latest LP has been the catalyst needed to sidestep the Nashville machine and force industry gatekeepers to truly pay attention. After all, when Beyoncé released “Texas Hold ‘Em,” Cowboy Carter’s Hot 100-topping lead single, back in February, Billboard reported a residual streaming boost for the catalogs of other Black women in country; Robert’s streams jumped 250% in the week following the release of “Texas.”

“When I was [first] coming to Nashville, I was telling people my goals, my dreams, like I’m going to work with Beyoncé,” says Roberts. “People just weren’t seeing it. I met with a lot of labels [in Nashville], and everybody passed on me. It’s so interesting to see how people treat me now. I’m the same person, I’m thankful my personality hasn’t really changed, my talent hasn’t changed, I’m the same individual. But it took Beyoncé and a lot of answered prayers from God for some people to see what they weren’t able to see before.”

For Roberts, the rest of 2024 is all about making sure this moment isn’t just a flash in the pan. The “Stomping Grounds” singer is currently hard at work on her new album, the follow-up to 2023’s Bad Girl Bible, Vol. 1, as well as exciting endeavors across different realms of entertainment.

“With this next album, every song is going to have a story [and] have a visual,” she reveals. “I want to make sure I’m telling the best stories that I can, so it takes a little bit of time. It’s definitely coming. It’s going to be something that I’m proud of and that I want to sing for the rest of my life.”

At the intersection of 615 Day 2023 and Juneteenth Weekend lies the inaugural Blavity House Party. Holsted by Blavity Media Group, the new festival took over Nashville, Tennessee, on June 14 and 15, treating locals and travelers alike to two nights of fiery performances in celebration of Juneteenth and Black Music Month.

Hosted by Zack Fox, Bridget Kelly and Mani Millss, Blavity House Party boasted a slew of performers across the myriad genres of the Black diaspora, including Monica, Rick Ross, K. Michelle, Dru Hill, Uncle Waffles, Blxst, Ryan Leslie, Leon Thomas, Big Freedia, Freeway, Lil’ Mo, Travis Porter, Reyna Roberts, Nesta, Domani and more. In addition to the two performance stages (one outside and one inside Music City’s storied Municipal Auditorium), the patio hosted a bevy of local Black-owned businesses for festivalgoers to support.

The festival’s opening day got off to a semi-sanctified start with a rousing performance from Sainted Trap Choir. With a tight choreography and tighter arrangements, the choir ripped through a medley that combined both secular and pop hits, including Travis Porter’s “Make It Rain,” Victoria Monét’s “On My Mama,” Tyla’s “Water” and Kirk Franklin’s “Melodies from Heaven.” Big Freedia kept the energy high with a NOLA-exalting bounce set that featured endless twerking and racy fellatio demonstrations from her backup dancers, while Grammy-winning R&B singer-songwriter Leon Thomas enraptured the audience with his honeyed vocals and impressive guitar skills.

Despite strong performances from day one’s performers, the meager audience turnout was impossible to ignore. As the day went on, the floor started to fill up, with legendary R&B group Dru Hill drawing the most passionate crowd of the night. Celebrating more than 25 years of hits, Sisqó led his fellow group members in impressive renditions of timeless hits like “Tell Me” and “In My Bed,” flaunting the power of their live vocals and pristine harmonies. With their set, Dru Hill was able to capture lightning in a bottle and truly make Blavity House Party feel like a must-see festival. Nonetheless, that energy quickly dissipated as the crowd waited anxiously for Lil Wayne — who was scheduled as the night’s headliner — just for the “A Milli” rapper to ghost the festival, providing no reason for his absence.

In an effort to make up for the last-minute disappointment of day one, Blavity House Party packed on several additional performers for the festival’s second day, including Lil Scrappy, Rick Ross and Tennessee native K. Michelle. Standout performers from day two included outlaw country princess Reyna Roberts — who put on a blazing show to match her red-hot hair — and hip-hop trio Travis Porter, who have provided a timeless soundtrack to Black house parties for nearly 15 years and counting. Lil Scrappy, something of a musical forefather to Travis Porter, also lit up the auditorium with lively performances of ’00s classics such as “Head Bussa” and “Neva Eva.”

Clearly an eleventh-hour addition, K. Michelle breezed through a six-minute set that included renditions of “Can’t Raise a Man” and “V.S.O.P.” Curiously, the chart-topping R&B star did not perform any of her country songs, though she did confirm that her long-awaited country album is still on the way. Headliner Monica took fans down memory lane with a set that spurred mass sing-alongs to some of her most beloved tracks, such as “So Gone” and “Before You Walk Out of My Life.”

Once again, the show threatened to fly off the rails near the end of the night. Rick Ross’ music was shockingly cut short about six songs into his set. After requesting his DJ drop the next track, silence ensued. The DJ continued to press buttons to figure out the situation, but within the next seven minutes, Ricky Rozay had given away a bottle of Belaire champagne, threw on his backpack, and exited the stage for good, making for a sudden and unforgettable end to the inaugural Blavity House Party.

Here are the six best moments from Blavity House Party 2024.

Curtain up! Light the lights! Broadway’s biggest night, the Tony Awards, is here. It all got underway Sunday night (June 16) at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT with The Tony Awards: Act One, co-hosted by Julianne Hough and Utkarsh Ambudkar. Stereophonic and The Outsiders each won two awards during the 90-minute pre-show, which streamed on Pluto TV.

At 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, CBS will air the 77th annual Tony Awards, with Ariana DeBose hosting for the third year. The three-hour show will also stream on Paramount+ in the U.S. Both shows will be held at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.

The Tonys telecast is set to include performances from all five nominees for best musical (Hell’s Kitchen, Illinoise, The Outsiders, Suffs and Water for Elephants) and from three of the four nominees for best revival of a musical (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, Merrily We Roll Along and The Who’s Tommy). The Tonys will presumably not include a performance from the fourth nominee for best revival of a musical, Gutenberg! The Musical!, which closed on Jan. 28.

The Hell’s Kitchen segment was capped by Keys and Jay-Z performing “Empire State of Mind,” their Grammy-winning smash that spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009. Pete Townshend joined the cast of The Who’s Tommy to perform songs from that classic 1969 album.

The telecast is also set to feature a performance from Stereophonic, the “play with music” (by Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire). Stereophonic tied with Hell’s Kitchen, a musical based on the music of Alicia Keys, for the most nominations of any production this year (13).

Most Broadway experts see the race for best musical as a close race between Suffs and Hell’s Kitchen. Stereophonic won best play. A revival of Stephen Sondheim’s 1981 show Merrily We Roll Along won best revival of a musical. A revival of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ 2014 off-Broadway show Appropriate won best revival of a play.

But who will actually take home the honors? We’ve got you covered. We’ll update this list as each winner is announced.

Stevie Nicks had to cancel her concert Saturday night (June 15) at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania, because of “illness in the band,” according to a brief statement shared on the singer’s official social media accounts.

“Regrettably, due to illness in the band, tonight’s performance is being postponed. Please hold on to your tickets. A new date will be announced soon,” said the update, originally posted by the stadium at 5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The update was later added to Nicks’ stories on Instagram and Facebook, and shared on her page on X (formerly Twitter).

Billboard reached out to Nicks’ representatives for comment on Sunday. At press time, no further details or updates have been provided.

The rock icon and vocalist for Fleetwood Mac, 76, was expected to take the stage Saturday night at the latest stop on her ongoing Live in Concert Tour across the U.S.

Nicks’ performance was postponed just hours before showtime.

In posts on social media, fans reported the show was canceled around the time doors were set to open, when they were already in line to enter the concert grounds. A video posted by a concertgoer in the comments of the announcement indicated soundcheck happened Saturday afternoon.

As of Sunday (June 16), Nicks’ published schedule has her performing on June 18 in Grand Rapids and June 21 in Chicago. What follows is a short break in her itinerary until July 3, when she’s set to jet to Europe for a gig in Dublin, Ireland. U.K. dates come next (Glasgow, Manchester and London), then stops in Antwerp, Belgium, and Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Last weekend Billboard saw Nicks and her touring band put on a lively show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, with a 15-song setlist spanning solo hits and classics from Fleetwood Mac’s discography, complemented with plenty of career anecdotes told between songs. “My stories are starting to become as long as the show,” the star joked during her June 9 performance.

After opening with Bella Donna‘s “Outside the Rain” and playing the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Dreams,” from Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, Nicks was in good spirits, telling the cheering crowd, “We’re very glad to be here. We got to fly in on a helicopter. It was truly magnificent.”

Green Day has been on the road for their The Saviors world tour, but they’re also celebrating a milestone anniversary: the 30th birthday of their album Dookie.

Two shirts are offered on the website, including a classic white T-shirt with Dookie written in block letters or you can go a more bold route with a gray tee with Dickies written in red in the iconic Green Day font.

Taylor Swift was in storytelling mode with two surprise song mashups in Liverpool, England, Saturday night (June 15).

At the third of three shows at the city’s Anfield Stadium, Swift got creative with her acoustic set, weaving together crime mysteries for one mashup, and telling the story of an affair from the Red era with the other.

“This is what it all really comes down to, for me, in the show,” said Swift, strumming her guitar. “It’s just the most amount of, like, ‘Don’t mess this up. Don’t mess this up,’ ’cause it’s also my favorite part of the show.”

“This one, I’m gonna,” she started telling the crowd, but her voice trailed off. After pausing for a few seconds, Swift announced, “I’m gonna call this ‘The Murder Mashup.’”

She gave Liverpool the live debut of “Carolina,” the haunting song she wrote for the soundtrack of the 2022 film adaptation of Delia Owens’ murder mystery Where the Crawdads Sing — playing it alongside parts of Evermore‘s “No Body, No Crime.”

“Carolina creeks running through my veins/ Lost I was born, lonesome I came/ Lonesome I’ll always stay/ Carolina knows why for years I roam/ Free as these birds, light as whispers/ Carolina knows,” Swift sang, continuing with the film ballad up until “there are places I will never, ever go/ And things that only Carolina will ever know.”

And then, to shrieks from around the stadium, she switched over to “He did it,” bringing “No Body, No Crime” (originally recorded with Haim) into what is now officially known as “The Murder Mashup.”

Following that pairing, the songstress softly begin playing “The Manuscript,” the contemplative closer of her 31-song The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology album, at her piano.

“She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years, everything had been above board,” sang Swift, recalling a “torrid affair” with an older man in her younger years, of which she quietly reflects on in the Tortured Poets track. “She wasn’t sure.”

Swift then connected 2024’s “The Manuscript” to the bridge from 2012’s “Red”: “Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes/ Tell myself it’s time now, gotta let go/ But moving on from him is impossible/ When I still see it all in my head/ In burning red … Loving him was red.”

“The story isn’t mine anymore,” the closing line of “The Manuscript,” ended the piano number.
