Megan Moroney reveals her favorite Georgia slang at Billboard‘s Country Live event.
Megan Moroney: What’s up, y’all? I’m Meghan Moroney, and here are some of my favorite Georgia slang.
So one of my best friends is from Philly and I did not realize that not everyone called them buggies. Apparently up north, they call them shopping carts. But in Georgia they’re definitely buggies.
Up north, they call them car accidents. But in Georgia, we call them car wrecks.
So something that my mom always says, like, instead of saying, “How are you doing?” She says, “How are you making out?” To my northern friend, it was strange.

Selena Gomez Teases New Music With Photos From the Studio: ‘Don’t Worry Guys, It’s Coming…
“Sometimes you need to be around empowering, kind and kick a– gals. I needed that,” Gomez captioned the post, which included party pics with her A-list friends.
On Friday, Swift shared the same set of Polaroids from her annual patriotic celebration. In one of the pics, Tay hugs a smiling Gomez from behind, wrapping her arms around Selena’s shoulder. A second snap shows the pair preparing to share a red, white and blue Bomb Pop.
The two other photos appear to show the women singing karaoke in the kitchen and piling up for a group hug. The images also featured Este, Alana and Danielle Haim, along with Nashville stylist Ashley Avignone and Sydney Ness, who is the reported girlfriend of Swift’s brother Austin.
Swift has hosted a 4th of July blowout for years, with her crew of models, actors and singers making the trek to the singer’s Rhode Island mansion for pool parties and pics. Other guests over the years have included Ed Sheeran, Nick Jonas, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and many others.
Earlier this summer, Gomez teased on Instagram that the follow-up to her 2020 album, Rare, is finally underway. The 30-year-old pop star shared several photos of herself working in a recording studio. “Don’t worry guys, it’s coming,” the singer-actress captioned the post. “Even from Paris.”

Jason Mraz reflects on the success of his hit song “I’m Yours” 15 years after its release, talks about his new album ‘The Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride,’ making pop music for 40-year-olds and more!
Katie Bain What advice would you give to that guy now, knowing what you now?
Jason Mraz Oh, gosh, just relax. You don’t need the tramp stamp. Hey, what’s up? I’m Jason Mraz and this is Billboard News.
Katie Bain Hello, I’m Katie Bain this is Billboard News and we are here with the legend Jason Mraz, the legend.
Jason Mraz Wow I’m a legend?
Katie Bain Truly a legend.
Jason Mraz Thanks Katie.
Katie Bain About to become more legendary because you are releasing a new album. And I’m not gonna lie. I’m just gonna read this off the cue card because it’s a bit of a mouthful: ‘Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride.’
Jason Mraz Yeah, that’s the new album.
Katie Bain I feel that there’s probably a lot intertwined in the title itself. So just unpack that for me to start.
Jason Mraz It comes from a lyric inside the album. For me, it sums up life. I want to be mystified by life because I don’t know what’s going on. And so the album addresses life, and how to stay awake and enjoy the ride.
Katie Bain I really love this album. And it’s beautiful, and it’s smart. And I was intrigued by sort of the framing of it as pop music for people in their 40s. How does this album reflect your age and your experiences?

Britney Spears is reflecting on the Las Vegas incident earlier this week in which she was allegedly struck by NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s security.
The pop superstar took to Instagram to share her thoughts on Friday (July 7) after TMZ shared footage of the situation, where Spears is seen tapping the San Antonio Spurs player on the back outside Catch restaurant — despite Wembanyama claiming she grabbed him from behind — which prompted the Spurs’ Director of Team Security Damian Smith to push the “Womanizer” signer’s arm out of the way, hitting her in the face. Spears is then heard crying out, “F— you all.”
“I’ve been working in the industry for years and have been with some of the most famous people in the world … NSYNC at one point were like The Beatles … girls would throw themselves at them everywhere we went … not one time in my life has a security guard ever hit another person !!!” Spears wrote on Instagram. “I’m not sharing this to be a victim … I SIMPLY GET IT HONESTLY … my reaction was priceless … BAD ??? YES … I’ve had documentaries done about me and none of which I approved … I have felt helpless in most situations and my experience in Vegas and my reaction was a cry out on all levels … I will say it !!! No, I don’t feel like I have been treated as an equal person in this country … of course when I watched the video myself … the people who actually swarmed around me when they heard me get hit made me feel like I mattered !!! I wasn’t aware of that at the time … all people could hear was me saying f— you all … which was WAY BETTER THAN HITTING HIM BACK 🙄🙄 🙄 !!!”
However, Spears said she’s “still a huge fan” of Wembanyama’s. “It’s not his fault his security hit me … s— happens !!! I hope you’re all having a wonderful Friday !!!”

Jason Mraz has been making music for more than 20 years, but he’s only just made his first pop album.
On June 23, the singer/songwriter released his latest album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride, a 10-track collection that contains some of the dance-iest and most pop-forward songs of Mraz’s career while still asking the deep questions that have been a through line in all of his output.
Mraz recently stopped by the Billboard News studio to unpack some of the stories behind the album, including how it took heavy influence from none other than his mom.
Upon telling his mom the ideas he was considering exploring on his next project, Mraz recalls, “She said, ‘These are great, but I feel like you’ve done this before.’ She said, ‘What you need to do is make a pop album before it’s too late.’
“Those words ‘before it’s too late’ reverberated around the room,” Mraz continues, “and I thought… am I too old to make upbeat music?’ So I wanted to challenge myself and my bandmates; we all challenged each other to make this album you could dance to.”
But Mraz, who turned 46 on the day of the new album’s release, wanted to make dance music for people his age, which caused him to approach the themes of the album from a different perspective than those in a lot of mainstream pop.
“Historically, had I been doing this at a younger age, I would have been hormonally charged to try to create these dancefloor bangers,” he says, “but as you get older those moments are still precious, but it’s not what all of life is about. Sometimes life is about cheering yourself on to get through the day.”
Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical is Mraz’s eighth studio LP and comes 21 years after his first album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, which produced breakout hits including “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)” and “You and I Both.”
“I think back then, it’s all I knew so I felt both like a winner, but I felt a little unworthy,” Mraz says of the starting-out days. “I felt like I was thrown into it too soon. I wasn’t fully realized in life and I was 23, 24, so I’m writing songs that are more for that age. Looking for love in all the wrong places, I guess, but still asking questions about why am I here and what is the meaning of life. I think that is the through line.
Mraz says the advice he’d give to this younger version of himself is pretty simple: “Just relax, you don’t need the tramp stamp, you can quit smoking sooner than you think, it’s gonna be OK. I was junk food and cigarettes and beer, and I was everything, every night. That’s who I was back then. I felt like I was indestructible. I wouldn’t really wake up from that for many years, probably 2007 is when I had a big transformation in my life, so that first album is a distant memory, but a joyful one.”
