And McKenna Grace tells us how it went down. Happy Hump Day at Billboard News. I wish I was on a boat, but not this one.

According to Yandel’s Manager The plan was to perform their joint album ‘Manifesting 20-05’ in its entirety, but after just three songs local water police patrol asked them to shut it down.

The latest missive from The Desk of Taylor Swift is a newly penned Eras Tour setlist, to make room for her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.

Last week, Swift brought her blockbuster trek to Europe for the first time, playing four shows at Paris’ La Defense Arena. After a year-plus of concerts — not to mention the theatrical release of her Eras Tour film and a streaming version on Disney+ too — the pop superstar made wholesale changes to the well-worn setlist, reshuffling the order, combining two eras into one and adding a seven-song section dedicated to her latest release.
