Now that we know Taylor Swift is the leading nominee at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, the next question is: What might she surprise-announce at the Sept. 10 ceremony?

It was two years ago when Swift surprised the 2022 VMAs audience by announcing that a brand-new studio album called Midnights would arrive in October. Then earlier this year, she used the 2024 Grammys stage to announce that The Tortured Poets Department was on the way.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are dropping our best theories for what news she might drop on the crowd this time around. Listen to the full podcast below:

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how The Tortured Poets Department is back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a lucky 13th week. With Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s long-gestating Vultures 2 arriving over the weekend, could there be a Tay vs. Ye battle next week for No. 1? Plus, Chappell Roan hits new peaks on both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart as her breakthrough summer continues to sizzle.

Kehlani is embracing herself wholeheartedly.

The superstar — who uses she/they pronouns — appears on the latest Stylecaster digital cover rocking a tailored, pinstripe suit and full glam makeup, complete with a mustache. The “Honey” singer has been a longtime open book about their sexuality, but in the publication’s interview, she says she would have been open sooner.

“It’s dope to see people now who are in that fluidity and people of that expression be able to exist and make music and everything be celebrated. …Younger me would probably have come to terms more quickly with my non-binary identity and how I present,” they shared.

As a result, Kehlani will continue to be living authentically. “I’m going to exist loudly,” she said. “And if it rocks, it rocks.”

Back in 2018, Kehlani clarified their sexuality to fans. “cuz i keep geddin asked.. i’m queer,” she said at the time. “not bi, not straight. i’m attracted to women, men, REALLY attracted to queer men, non binary people, intersex people, trans people. lil poly pansexual papi hello good morning. does that answer your questions?”

When asked why she chooses to use the word “queer” rather than “gay,” Kehlani explained, “i felt gay always insisted there was still a line drawn as to which ‘label’ of human i was attracted when i really jus be walking around thinking ERRYBODY FINE.”

Walmart’s Summer Deals event wrapped last month, but you can still expect to find some of the hottest summer savings. The retail giant is rolling out a student discount on Walmart+, which offers loads of benefits and early access to Walmart sales before everyone else. To get you started, we’ve rounded up a list of everything you need to know — including how to subscribe for 50% off. See below for more details.

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. The subscription is on sale for 50% off with a student discount.

College students and grad students can subscribe to Walmart+ Student at a discounted rate of $49/year of $6.47/month after the free trial. Offer ends Sept. 13.

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’s another ways to join Walmart+ for $49 or 50% off the regular price — no promo code necessary. In addition to a student discount, Walmart offers a government assistance program that slices the subscription price in half.

Last year, the retail giant introduced Walmart+ Assist discounted subscription, for those on government assistance. The Walmart+ Assist discount is available to eligible new and existing Walmart+ members.

Existing members who qualify for the price cut will receive a prorated refund and the discounted price will begin immediately, per Walmart.

How else can you save on Walmart+? If you’re not eligible for Walmart+ Assist or Walmart+ Student, don’t worry, you can still enjoy a free 30-day free trial with your subscription.

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.

You can also give a Walmart+ membership as a birthday or back-to-school gift. A Walmart+ membership is perfect for shoppers who want access to special benefits such as free shipping and sweet deals.

How do you gift someone with a Walmart+ membership? Simply purchase a Walmart gift card, which can be used to cover the annual membership fee.

Walmart+ features member-only offers such as 10 cents off fuel at Exxon & Mobile stations, up to 5% back in Walmart Cash on flights, hotels, car rentals and activities booked through Walmart+ Travel.

What can you get for free with Walmart+? For starters, you’ll get free shipping with no order minimum, so you won’t have to worry about adding things to your cart that you might not even need just to get free shipping.

The membership also includes free grocery delivery, contact-free checkout with mobile-scan and go, travel deals, free subscriptions to Paramount+ and ad-free streaming with Pluto TV.

But wait, there’s more. Walmart+ members get free flat tire repair and other auto care and lots of other member benefits. Some of the limited offers available to Walmart+ members include a three month trial to the Peleton App, a free 30-day trial and 40% off Noom, three months of free Life360, a subscription to HISTORY Vault for $0.99/month, and 30% off Angi (formerly Angie’s List).

K-pop stocks were the hardest hit music stocks on Monday (Aug. 5) as global markets continued Friday’s decline in the U.S. with major selloffs. 

Four K-pop companies — HYBE, SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment — fell an average of 8.8% on Monday, while a major South Korean stock index, the KOSPI composite index, had its worst day since 2008 by also falling 8.8%. HYBE declined 5.9% while the others fell between 9.6% and 9.8%. South Korean stocks were effectively catching up to the rest of the world on Monday: trading in Seoul had closed by the time a disappointing U.S. jobs report was released Friday morning, stoking fears of a possible recession. 

The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 3.4% to 16,200.08, the S&P 500 dropped 3.0% to 5,186.33 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 2.6%, with the latter two suffering their deepest losses since September 2022. In Japan, the Nikkei Stock Average plummeted 12.4%, its worst day since 1987. 

Some of the biggest companies were among the worst performers. Chipmaker Nvidia, once a high-flying stock buoyed by AI investors, dropped 6.4% on Monday. Apple fell 4.8%. Amazon dropped 4.1%. 

The 20-company Billboard Global Music Index (BGMI) fared a bit better than the major indexes, dropping 2.0% to 1,705.25 despite the large K-pop declines. 

Outside K-pop, SiriusXM fell 4.1% to $3.01, adding to last week’s 15.6% decline following second-quarter earnings results that showed the company lost 173,000 satellite radio subscribers in the period ended June 30. Live Nation fell 3.5% to $88.06. Sphere Entertainment dropped 2.8% to $38.25. 

The BGMI’s most valuable companies fared better. Universal Music Group was flat at 21.44 euros ($23.50). Spotify declined 2.1% to $324.03. Warner Music Group, which releases earnings on Wednesday (Aug. 7), dropped 2.4% to $27.59. German concert promoter CTS Eventim slid 1.3% to 75.50 euros ($82.74).
