After officially making history as the first Latin woman to headline Coachella in the festival’s 27-year history, Karol G announced she’s hitting the road with a new tour.

During her second weekend headlining set on Sunday (April 19), the Colombian artist welcomed a wave of special guests, including Peso Pluma for a performance of their sultry reggaetón collaboration “QLONA,” as well as Becky G for an empowering rendition of their 2022 No. 1 Billboard hit “MAMIII” and Colombian powerhouses J Balvin and Ryan Castro. That impressive list of guests came after Karol shared the stage with Mariah Angeliq, Wisin, Greg Gonzalez of Cigarettes After Sex, Arturo Sandoval and an all-female mariachi troupe during the first weekend of the festival.

At the wrap of her historic show on Sunday, the “Bichota” singer surprised fans with the announcement that she’s going on tour. “Nos Vamos de Tour” (we’re going on tour) read a bright orange text on the festival screens during the closing song, “Provenza.” 

Though dates and venues have yet to be announced, the forthcoming trek will be in support of her latest album, Tropicoqueta, and follows her 2024 Mañana Será Bonito record-breaking tour that grossed $313.3 million and sold 2.3 million tickets over 65 shows, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. 

“There has been 27 years of this festival going on and it’s the first time a Latina girl is headlining Coachella, so I just want to say that before me there were so many great Latino artists, legendary Latino artists, that gave me the opportunity to be here tonight,” the Colombian artist told fans at Coachella. “This is not just about me, this is about my Latino community, this is about my people. And at the same time, this is for my Latinos that have been struggling in this country lately. We stand for them, I stand for my Latino community and at the same time I’m very proud because this brings out the best of us: unity, resilience, and a strong spirit.” 

Miranda Lambert has signed with MCA for her future music releases, the label announced today (April 20).

“Miranda is a generational artist whose influence and artistry continue to shape modern music,” Mike Harris, MCA President & CEO, said in a statement. “We are honored to work alongside her as she enters this next chapter and we look forward to building something truly special together.”

“Throughout my life and career, I have found that the common thread in every chapter is finding the right people—songwriters, musicians, collaborators, and team members—to match the moment,” Lambert said. “I am honored to join a roster and a team with such a rich history of championing artistry. I look forward to sharing this new music with the world under their banner.”

The three-time Grammy winner also continues in her role as founder of Big Loud Texas, where she continues being involved in the business partnership and continued artist development efforts across the label and its publishing arm.

To date, Lambert has had seven albums reach the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, and has earned seven No. 1 Country Airplay hits. She’s the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music Awards history. In addition to her headlining tours, she also brought her Velvet Rodeo residency to Las Vegas.

She’s been honored not only for her work as an artist, but also as a producer and songwriter. She’s a producer and co-writer on Ella Langley’s six-week No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Choosin’ Texas,” and is an executive producer on Langley’s Dandelion album, which is currently at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Rosalía will receive the coveted Woman of the Year award at the 2026 Billboard Latin Women in Music ceremony, Billboard and Telemundo announced today (April 20). 

Recognizing the Spanish singer-songwriter’s success, leadership and cultural influence as a defining voice of her generation, “Rosalía has consistently pushed the boundaries of Spanish-language music, blending tradition with bold innovation and captivating audiences worldwide,” according to a press statement. “Her latest album [LUX] further cements her status as a cultural force, sparking global conversation and reinforcing her reputation as a forward-thinking creative leader.”

On the Billboard charts, Rosalía — known for hits such as “Con Altura,” “Despechá,” “Yo x Ti, Tú x Mi,” and “La Fama” — has earned seven No. 1s on Latin Airplay, nine top 10s on Hot Latin Songs and nine Billboard Hot 100 titles, to name a few achievements. Notably, her most recent album, LUX, debuted at No. 1 last November on the Top Latin Albums, Top Latin Pop Albums, Classical Albums, Classical Crossover and World Albums charts, as well as No. 4 on the Billboard 200, marking her first top 10 on the overall chart.

This year, Rosalía joins Latin Women in Music honorees Becky G (Global Impact Award), Gloria Trevi (Lifetime Achievement Award), Ivy Queen (Pioneer Award), Joy (Spirit of Change Award), Julieta Venegas (Artistic Excellence Award), Lola Indigo (Evolution Award) and Young Miko (Unstoppable Award). 

Joining a celebration that will feature memorable performances, tributes and speeches are Carlota Vizmanos, David Bisbal, Feid, Jessica Carrillo, Justina Machado, Natalia Lafourcade, Natti Natasha and Villano Antillano as presenters.

Hosted by Chiquis, the two-hour special dedicated to Latin artists shaping the future of music will broadcast live at 9 p.m. ET on April 23 via Telemundo, and will stream live on Peacock and the Telemundo app.

On Monday (April 20), the TODAY show announced the star-studded lineup for its 2026 Citi Concert Series, featuring upcoming summertime performances from KATSEYE, Zara Larsson, Lizzo, Shaboozey, Brandi Carlile, Niall Horan, Tyla, Mumford & Sons, Bleachers, Maren Morris, Megan Moroney, Melanie Martinez and more.

Grammy-nominated Swedish pop sensation Zara Larsson will kick off the series with a Rockefeller Plaza concert on May 8, followed by a Bleachers show on May 22, timed to the Jack Antonoff-fronted band’s new Everyone for Ten Minutes LP, which drops the same day. Charlie Puth, who performed the national anthem at Super Bowl LX in February and released his Whatever’s Clever album last month, closes out the month with his May 29 show.

Lizzo leads the following month’s lineup with her June 5 show, followed by Niall Horan‘s June 12 set, a week after the arrival of the One Direction alum’s Dinner Party album. Melanie Martinez, who recently earned her fourth consecutive Billboard 200 top 10 studio album with Hades (No. 3), rounds out the month with her June 26 performance.

After a particularly stacked July featuring performances by South African pop star Tyla, Grammy-winning rockers Mumford & Sons and chart-topping country-pop artists Shaboozey, Megan Moroney and Maren Morris, August is all about KATSEYE. The always-viral global girl group is currently the only announced act slated for that month (Aug. 14), and at press time, it’s unknown whether Manon Bannerman will join her groupmates onstage. Currently on hiatus, Bannerman did not join KATSEYE during their Coachella debut last weekend.

The group will take over Rockefeller Plaza the same day their new WILD EP hits streaming.

Finally, Brandi Carlile, one of TIME’s 2026 Women of the Year, will deliver a late summer performance on Sept. 25.

“Music plays such a profound role in today’s culture, and we’re excited to support the Citi Concert Series on TODAY,” Elyse Lesley, head of U.S. Consumer Cards Marketing at Citi, exclusively tells Billboard. “We look forward to kicking off the summer with another memorable edition of the concert series for passionate fans tuning in from across the country.”

With additional performers and dates to be announced in the coming weeks, fans can visit TODAY.com/Concerts for more information on how to attend the outdoor concerts. A limited number of fan passes will be available for each show, with general admission also open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis at Rockefeller Plaza, located on 48th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Manhattan.

Everybody, even huge pop stars, has that one person they would absolutely lose it over if they met them in person. For a long time, Billie Eilish had Justin Bieber at the top of her list. But now they’ve become friendly and, in case you missed it, over the weekend, Bieber, 32, made Eilish’s tween dreams come true when he invited his self-proclaimed superfan onto the stage to serenade her with his 2009 song “One Less Lonely Girl.”

It was clear from the hugs and laughter that Eilish, 24, was having the time of her life, and her mom, Maggie Baird, confirmed it in a sweet Instagram note honoring the special relationship between her daughter and Justin.

“One of the most touching moments ever. It sounds crazy, but we watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there’s nothing in our power to do,” wrote Baird in the post, which featured a picture of Billie hugging Justin with a giant smile on her face, as well as the footage of Eilish losing it as she stumbled and fell to her knees while making her way to the stage for the once-in-a-lifetime moment.

“But we buy them records and maybe buy them a ticket to a concert (or a movie of a concert in our case because we couldn’t afford to see an actual concert),” she continued of her daughter, who has been a Belieber for half her life. “Watching this crazy unimaginable dream come true over many years is so incredible. I’m so grateful to Justin Bieber for the kindness he has shown Billie and to our whole family and to Hailey who makes so many things wonderful and possible♥️♥️.”

Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber, responded with a “❤️ you guys!” in the comments, followed by a “so special.” In other pics, Baird hugs Eilish after the special on-stage moment and mom and daughter fangirl together over Justin’s show from the audience. Later, Eilish — who has spoken in the past about how Bieber offered her advice and friendship early in her career — provided an update on her emotional state following the life highlight moment: “can’t stop crying,” she wrote in an Instagram Story on Sunday accompanied by a pic of her laying in bed with red-rimmed eyes.
