SYDNEY, Australia – Paul Dainty enjoys new duties at TEG, while Mark Dodds climbs the ranks and Tim McGregor departs in a sweeping restructuring of the group’s concert promotion activities.

The live entertainment, ticketing, and technology powerhouse presses the button on a “strategic reset,” one that sees McGregor leaving the business “to embark on his next chapter.”

McGregor, who departs after 20 years serving with Dainty Group and TEG, most recently as TEG Live’s global head of touring, will hand over the reins of TEG Live to Dodds in the coming weeks.

Through this executive restructuring, Dodds takes the new role of managing director, TEG Live, reward for his work on tours by the likes of Olivia Dean, Fred again.., Fontaines D.C., Phoebe Bridgers and Beabadoobee. By assuming leadership of TEG Live, Dodds will have responsibility for upcoming tours from System Of A Down, Icehouse, Niall Horan and others. Dodds will continue to lead Handsome Tours as managing director.

Meanwhile, Dainty, one of the great names of concert promotion in these parts, or anywhere, assumes the new post of TEG’s president of touring and theatrical, in addition to his role as CEO TEG Dainty.

Also, Danny Rogers and Jerome Borazio, co-founders of Laneway Festival and Laneway Presents, continue within the TEG ranks. According to a statement, the Laneway Festival 2027 lineup announcement is “imminent.”

Also, TEG recruits John Ranieri as chief information officer across the TEG Group. Ranieri boasts more than 20 years of experience in digital and technology leadership positions, most recently serving as head of transformation and CTO (General Insurance) at Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

Announced on Thursday, Sept. 24, TEG’s new leadership lineup is meant to drive the group’s “next phase of growth and execute on its sharpened Asia-Pacific touring focus,” and reaches across the business’s activities in stadium touring, theater, festivals, and talent development.

The new structure is said to complement the broader leadership team assembled by Cameron Hoy, who was promoted to CEO of TEG with effect from June 1.

“TEG has a long and proud history of delivering market-firsts that transform the live experience,” Hoy comments in a statement. “Whether it was pioneering digital ticketing, building the first fair and ethical resale marketplace, or advancing accessible ticketing, we have always led from the front. John’s appointment ensures we maintain that relentless pace of innovation, deploying cutting-edge technology that elevates the experience for our partners, venues, and millions of fans across the region.”

TEG (or Ticketek Entertainment Group) is owned by Silver Lake, the U.S.-based private equity company which specializes in technology investing, through a deal struck in 2019 worth more than A$1.3 billion.

Based in Sydney, TEG’s empire collects the ticketing powerhouse Ticketek, TEG Dainty, TEG Van Egmond, plus TEG Live, TEG Sport, TEG Experiences, Ovation and other businesses.

Founded in 1979, Ticketek’s Australian presence sells over 23 million tickets to more than 20,000 events each year, according to a statement on its official website, including concerts at ANZ Stadium, Qudos Bank Arena, Rod Laver Arena, Hisense Arena, Suncorp Stadium, and Brisbane Entertainment Centre. Today, the ticketing specialist operates seven country offices, including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines.

On the departure of McGregor, Hoy remarks: “I want to thank Tim for his enormous contribution over his 20-year journey with us. Having worked alongside him for the past 10 years, I have immense appreciation and respect for him and all he has achieved. He leaves a lasting legacy having developed a promoter division with capabilities unmatched across the region, and we wish him all the best in his next chapter.”

Ciara says she’s no match for her 9-year-old daughter with a sixth sense.

Before the singer and Russell Wilson officially broke the news to their kids that they’re expecting baby No. 5, daughter Sienna had already started putting the pieces together.

In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight published Tuesday, Ciara shared that Sienna somehow sensed that her family was about to grow pretty soon — even before there was a visible baby bump.

“Sienna told me that I was pregnant before I told [the kids],” Ciara said.

According to the singer, Sienna has a history of picking up on her pregnancies before her siblings, and this time was definitely no different. “She told me early on, but my stomach was not big. I wasn’t showing then. She’s got this sixth sense. She’s done this with all her siblings,” Ciara explained.

Sienna apparently wasn’t keeping her suspicions to herself, either. At one point, she directly confronted her mom in the kitchen, telling her, “There’s a baby in your tummy.”

Ciara rightfully panicked a little bit, telling her daughter, “No, there’s not. What the heck?”

She immediately realized that her daughter might accidentally ruin the surprise she had planned for the rest of the family.

“And we were in the kitchen, so I’m like, ‘You’re really going to blow my cover,’” Ciara said.

But Sienna wasn’t the only one who had burning questions and suspicions. While Ciara was filming a TikTok dance with her son Future Zahir, who is 12, he apparently noticed that fans had something to say about his mom’s appearance. After scrolling through the comments, he came to Ciara with a question of his own: Why did everyone keep saying she was pregnant?

Ciara brushed off the speculation like a champion, telling him that people were just being people. But with the family’s big reveal still under wraps, it seemed like her kids were getting dangerously close to figuring out the secret.

Eventually, Ciara and Wilson decided it was time to stop keeping everyone in the dark. The couple gathered their children for what they presented as a family photo before Ciara revealed her growing bump and announced that they were expecting another baby.

The reaction was pretty predictable due to the previous detective work done by her children. After hearing the news, Future joked that the speculation that was swarming in the TikTok comments were in fact true. Despite somewhat figuring it out before the big reveal, everyone was overjoyed that a new member of the family was expected to arrive.

Baby No. 5 will be Ciara and Wilson’s fourth child together. The couple already share Sienna, Win, 6, and Amora Princess, 2, while Ciara shares 12-year-old Future with her ex-fiancé, rapper Future.

KATSEYE‘s Lara Raj has a special place in her heart for Camila Cabello.

On Wednesday (Sept. 23), Raj posted a selfie with the “Havana” singer to her Instagram Story. Raj is seen smiling while wearing a pair of sunglasses, posing next to Cabello as she rests her head on Raj’s shoulder. The sweet snapshot is captioned, “My big sissy forever.”

The photo doesn’t provide any clues about where or why the pair linked up, but Cabello’s music has been an inspiration for Raj, who revealed in August on the Nicky at Night podcast that the former Fifth Harmony member’s 2018 hit “Never Be the Same” was a reference behind the writing and production of KATSEYE’s song “Unloveu.”

The other girls of KATSEYE have also previously expressed their love and admiration for Cabello. In an interview with Complex back in 2025, member Sophia Laforteza deemed Cabello everyone’s “older sister.”

Released in 2017 as part of Cabello’s debut solo album Camila, “Never Be the Same” went on to become one of the singer’s biggest solo hits. The song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 2018 and also topped Billboard‘s Pop Airplay chart.

The song’s influence seems to be full-circle for Raj, considering she used it as inspiration for “Unloveu,” which appears exclusively on the Target edition of the group’s third EP, WILD. The project was released last month, and it also made a major splash on the Billboard charts, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and giving the group their first No. 1 on the tally.

Texas forever. Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” smash notched a 23rd week atop the Billboard Hot 100 on Tuesday (Sept. 22), and the country star celebrated breaking the record for having the the most weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. chart with a heartfelt video posted to Instagram thanking her fans.

“I’m genuinely trying to find the words to help explain what’s going on in my brain today,” she began. “Thank you so much for loving this song, for listening to it… I’m running out of hyperboles to describe how I feel.”

Langley continued: “Just thank you so much, it’s changing my life, it’s changing the lives of the writers of this song. It’s changing the lives of my family and it is truly growing an atmosphere for something I’m gonna be able to do the rest of my life.”

The 27-year-old singer explained that she planned to take a break and enjoy the night celebrating with her team.

“Today doesn’t feel like a real thing,” she added. “It feels fake and somebody’s gonna be like, ‘Ha ha, we’re kidding the whole time.’ I’m gonna go out and celebrate tonight. I’m really excited to just experience a moment like this in my life. Just thank you so much.”

Langley wrote in the caption: “23 weeks Texas forever.” Before reflecting in a video from her backyard on IG, she reacted briefly with a post to her IG Story hours earlier Tuesday, calling the achievement “absolutely insane.”

“Choosin’ Texas” debuted in the top 40 of the Hot 100 at No. 39 in November and surged to spend 23 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, which dethroned Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” as the record-holder.

The Ella Langley train doesn’t appear to be slowing down either: She’ll return to the stage on her Dandelion Tour in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Thursday.

Watch Langley’s record-breaking reaction video below.

As a married dad to six kids, Walker Hayes is well-known as a family man, but his family extends these days to his four-legged children as well.

That’s the inspiration behind the country star’s campaign with Canidae Heartland, a new pet food line that pays tribute to America’s Heartland, with “farm-raised nutrition” that supports dogs, American farmers and the environment.

As part of the campaign, Hayes has penned a new song titled, “Love Is a Four-Legged Word,” which celebrates the country star’s bond with his dogs Puckett and Copper, as well as his late dog Skeeter (sample lyric: “He’s my dog and I’m his human”).

The song starts with Hayes’ point of view, before transitioning to Skeeter’s thoughts. “I like it when Walker scratches my belly, I tell him with licks and he throws sticks,” Hayes (as Skeeter) sings. “Just a couple of best buds in the heartland, lending a paw and lending a hand,” continues the chorus to the soft-plucking acoustic ditty, which is surprisingly poignant for a simple song.

Hayes says he originally developed the country-inspired track as a theme song for an animated kids series he’s working on, called Walker’s Woods, but he tweaked it to better fit the Canidae campaign. As the Grammy-nominated singer explains, “If you have a bond with a dog, you just get it.”

Similarly, Canidae says it’s developing dog food “built on the belief that every bowl can make a difference.” That applies in multiple ways too: the pet food brand says it uses real meat (including farm-raised chicken) plus ancient grains like barley and whole grain sorghum, with no corn, wheat or soy, and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Everything is cooked in the company’s Brownwood, Texas facility and finished with live probiotics to help support doggy digestion and immune health.

The brand also uses regeneratively-farmed ingredients, to help cultivate healthy soil and grow nutrient-rich food for your pets.

But the brand also makes a difference in another way too, donating 1% of every purchase to the American Red Cross, to support “pets, people and communities in need.” The goal: to make sure U.S. towns and neighborhoods are as strong and healthy as the pets who live in them.
