At one of her recent Eras Tour shows in London, Taylor Swift met with the families of victims harmed by the deadly mass stabbing at a children’s dance class in Southport in July.

In photos posted to TikTok by one mom who met the pop star with her daughters at Wembley Stadium over the weekend, Swift poses with the two girls and gives both of them hugs backstage. The older girl appears to wear a bandage covering her left forearm, while both young Swifties sport Red-themed T-shirts. In other photos, the little girls smile next to Swift’s mom, Andrea.

“You drew stars around my scars 💫🥹 ….,” the mom wrote in her caption. “The biggest thankyou to @Taylor Swift and her mum for making the most magical night possible for us all 🫶🏻 thankyou for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always 💗💗💗.”

Swift hosted multiple families impacted by the tragedy before stepping on stage at Wembley, where she’s slated to play five final shows before closing out the European leg of her Eras trek.

On July 29, a 17-year-old knifeman targeted a Swift-themed dance and yoga event for children ages 6 to 11 in Southport, killing three young girls and injuring eight more children as well as two adults — including 35-year-old instructor Leanne Lucas, who was recently readmitted to the hospital, according to the BBC. U.K. police has since charged the teenager with murder and attempted murder.

The 14-time Grammy winner has not addressed the attack on stage, but she did release a statement shortly after it occurred. “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously, and I’m just completely in shock…” Swift wrote at the time. “The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders. 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.”

Kesha fans were sent for a loop on Sunday (Aug. 18) after claims that the “Eat the Acid” singer’s name was removed from the video credits of Pitbull‘s 2013 hit “Timber.” According to screenshots posted on Reddit of what appeared to be the altered credentials for the visual for the single from Mr. Worldwide’s Meltdown EP, whose hook is sung by Kesha, her name looked like it was scrubbed.

But a check of the credits for the song on Monday morning (Aug. 19) showed that the song is credited to both the artists, with Kesha’s former stage name (Ke$ha) also listed as a feature in the official video title. According to reports, for an unknown period of time on Sunday, the video, which has more than 1.5 billion views to date, was amended to read “Pitbull – Timber (Official Video).”

In a statement posted on Sunday afternoon to X, Pitbull sent a direct message to Kesha assuring her that he was looking into the reports. “@KeshaRose and I have an incredible song together. Nothing will change this. Team Pitbull is looking into this matter. Always nothing but love for Kesha, Dale!”

At press time spokespeople for Kesha and YouTube had not returned Billboard‘s request for additional comment and a spokesperson for Pitbull had also not responded to a request for clarification. The statement from Pitbull appeared to come after Kesha fans flooded social feeds on Sunday with anger over the apparent erasure of her significant contribution to the song which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks.

Many fans speculated that the removal could have been tied to Kesha’s yearslong feud with the song’s main producer, Dr. Luke (born Lukasz Gottwald), whom she sued in 2014 alleging that he sexually, mentally and emotionally abused her; Dr. Luke denied all the allegations and filed a defamation suit in response, with the two settling of court in 2023 just before a trail was set.

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess hits No. 1 on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart for the first time as the set jumps from No. 12 to No. 1 on the Aug. 24-dated list. The album sold 8,500 copies on vinyl in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 15, according to Luminate. That’s a 203% sales increase compared to the previous week.

The new Aug. 24-dated Vinyl Albums chart will be posted in full to Billboard’s website on Aug. 20.

The 12-1 jump for Rise reflects the tracking week that contained a buzzy festival performance from Roan – her Aug. 11 gig at Outside Lands in San Francisco. The latter generated a quasi-viral moment where she chastised the VIP section for not singing along to the album’s “Hot to Go!” The Outside Lands gig came a little over week after another well-received festival performance from the singer, when she had a  rousing reception at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 1.

In total, Rise has sold 80,000 copies on vinyl since its release in September 2023.

The good news keeps coming for Rise on the charts, as the set hits new peaks on three key album rankings: the Billboard 200 (moving 3-2), Top Streaming Albums (3-2) and Top Album Sales (7-3); all dated Aug. 24.

In the Aug. 9-15 tracking week, Rise earned 72,000 equivalent album units (its best week yet). Of that sum, a little more than 14,000 were in traditional album sales (the set’s second-largest sales week). Further, the album’s songs generated 75.42 million on-demand official streams during the week — equaling 57,000 streaming-equivalent album units; both figures are new one-week highs for the album.

Drake took it back to 2003, and while listening to a Chingy classic, something about the St. Louis rapper’s “One Call Away” anthem stuck out to him.

The 6 God took to his Instagram Story on Sunday (Aug. 18) to quote verses from the Jackpot hit, which Drake felt he related to, especially when it came to trying to go harder if certain ladies were in attendance watching him play basketball, but negatively impacting his game.

“Nah Chingy I felt this like why do I play better when the tings aren’t watching you really struck a chord with this one goated lyric,” he wrote.

Drizzy continued to salute Chingy. “Also, the face you said tryna dribble like off that bar we know you were ass at ball but your ting showed up and you started doing too much like this real af you are a guy for that bar,” he wrote.

Chingy has yet to respond to Drake’s praise on social media. However, there was much debate and confusion about what the OVO boss had to say, as some interpreted the flowers as a backhanded compliment or even dissing Chingy. “Did Drake just diss Chingy or is he just joking around?” one person asked, adding a shrug emoji.

“One Call Away” landed on Chingy’s Jackpot album in 2003 and was released as a single in January 2004.

The Track Starz-produced banger went on to reach No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ended up spending 20 weeks on the chart.

The latest chapter in Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz‘s love story involved a romantic night out at Taylor Swift‘s London Eras Tour show over the weekend.  

And in a video posted by the Magic Mike star after the show, he films the Batman actress dancing along to “Shake It Off” before leaning down and kissing his fiancée on the cheek. “Date night with TSwift,” he captioned the clip posted on X Monday (Aug. 19). “The love is real and @taylorswift13 is an absolute force!”

Tatum also tweeted a selfie in which he poses with Swift’s father, Scott, and a handful of guitar picks. “Got some guitar picks I’m gonna sell for charity from big daddy Swift himself,” he wrote. “Legend he is. #swiftiesforever #tstheerastour.”

The couple’s outing comes just over a year after Tatum attended an Eras Tour stop in Los Angeles, wearing a glitter heart around his eye and an “I’m the daddy, it’s me” T-shirt made by his 11-year-old daughter, Everly, whom he shares with his ex-wife, actress Jenna Dewan. “I was a fan of the music because I’ve listened to her forever, but I did not know she was such an unstoppable force,” the actor later raved of Swift’s concert on The Tonight Show in July.

“I kind of know her a little personally, and she’s really kind of just normal and sweet,” he added at the time, referencing his connection to Swift via Kravitz’s friendship with the pop star. “And she’ll make you, like, a dinner, and like whip it up no problem. Like, homemade Pop-Tarts. Like warm, warm Pop-Tarts. I’m like, ‘Did you just make these? How are these warm?’”

In addition to dancing with her fiancé at the three-hour-plus Wembley show, Kravitz also got to rock out to a song she helped Swift write: “Lavender Haze” from Midnights. Shortly after the album dropped in 2022, the Divergent actress revealed in an interview with GQ that she and the 14-time Grammy winner were in each other’s quarantine pods, and that Swift made her “home-cooked meals and dinner on [her] birthday” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Zoë’s sense of self is what makes her such an exciting artist, and such an incredible friend,” Swift added in the same interview. “She has this very honest inner compass, and the result is art and life without compromising who she is.”
