Kane Brown has been having quite a year.

He’s got an entertainer of the year nomination at next week’s ACM Awards plus a sold-out opening weekend for his In the Air Tour — which you can still buy last-minute tickets to through ticketing sites like Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats (get $20 off orders of $200 with the code BB2024) and Seat Geek (first purchases get $10 off orders of $250+ with code BILLBOARD). While traveling on the road, though, the “Thank God” singer has determined what travel necessities he always needs with him — and ShopBillboard was able to learn what he can’t leave home without.

Walking into his dressing room, you can expect to find it stocked with Olipop tonic soda — especially in the flavor orange, the country singer’s favorite. “We drink a lot of Olipop in our house,” he said in an interview with Billboard about his partnership with the brand. The beverage aims to help with digestive health and also includes vitamin C, prebiotics and no artificial sweeteners.

Along with Brown’s beverage must-haves, he’s also an avid gamer.

“Definitely can’t leave home without my computer,” he says. “I like to game a lot on the road.”

His games of choice? Call of Duty, 2K NBA and MLB.

And before he hits the stage, you can expect him and his team to hype up to music — specifically 2000s throwbacks like Mariah Carey (a personal favorite of his wife). “It used to be heavy metal and now we’ve switched a full 360, and now it’s old-school throwbacks,” he says. “Not really old-school, but year 2000 throwbacks. I usually just put it on a playlist and go through it. There’s been a lot of TLC, randomly. The Black Eyed Peas usually gets us pretty hype.”

Doja Cat was dripping in style on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet, as she hit fashion’s biggest night in a drenched floor-length T-shirt dress.

The Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper kept the wet look going with her makeup, with sparkly black mascara dripping artfully down her cheeks as if she’d soaked the dress in her own tears. Doja posed on the sprawling Met red carpet with one arm across her chest and one arm strategically pulling up the skirt of her dress, as the water rendered the dress transparent.

Before Doja Cat was photographed on the red carpet, she was spotted exiting the Mark Hotel wearing a towel wrapped around her head and body with strappy heels and a diamond necklace. But when she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, her wet look was fully realized, including her tear-soaked makeup. (You can see makeup artist Pat McGrath’s magic come to life here.)

The T-shirt dress was designed by VETEMENTS creative director Guram Gvasalia, with whom Doja walked the red carpet on Monday.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Doja explained how her look fit into the night’s “The Garden of Time” theme.

“I know that people are going to do flowers, but my flower of choice is the most-used flower — and it’s cotton,” she said. “I wanted to do a white T-shirt, also because a white T-shirt is timeless. And it felt very poetic to choose this. I knew it wasn’t going to blend in too much, and I don’t really like to blend in.”

Dua Lipa‘s Radical Optimism has topped this week’s new music poll that features artists in various genres of music.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (May 3) on Billboard, choosing the pop star’s third studio album as their favorite new music release of the past week.

The new set from Lipa brought in 35% of the vote on the poll, securing a notable edge ahead of new releases from Imagine Dragons featuring J Balvin (“Eyes Closed”), Kendrick Lamar (“6:16 in LA” and “Euphoria”), Willow (“Empathogen”), Kane Brown and Marshmello (“Miles on It”), and others.

Lipa’s 11-track Radical Optimism — her first proper album since 2020’s Future Nostalgia — features previously released singles “Houdini,” “Training Season” and “Illusion.”

“[Releasing the album] feels good. It feels for lack of a better word — radically optimistic,” she previously told Billboard, before explaining the idea behind the album cover, which features the singer floating in a wide open ocean facing a shark fin. “Throughout the whole record, there’s this idea of chaos happening around and me trying to push through it in a way that feels authentic and honest to me.”

The British artist also pulled double duty as host and music guest during Saturday Night Live on May 4, where she performed Radical Optimism tracks “Illusion” and “Happy For You.”

Trailing behind Radical Optimism on this week’s poll is the “other” category, with nearly 23% of the vote. Placing third is Imagine Dragons featuring J Balvin’s “Eyes Closed,” which brought in 21% of the vote.
