Taylor Swift Mingles With Travis Kelce’s Family, Including Jason Kelce & Wife Kylie, at Chiefs-Bills Playoff Game

Taylor Swift and the Kelce family were seen watching the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills game together in the Buffalo metropolitan area in Orchard Park, New York, Sunday night (Jan. 21).

Swift wore a unique Gant varsity jacket in Chiefs colors, with stars drawn at the coat’s pockets, and a red winter beanie in support of boyfriend Travis Kelce at the NFL playoff game.

When Swift was briefly on camera during the CBS broadcast of the game, she was at one point referred to as the “MVP” — the “Most Valuable Princess of Chiefs Kingdom.”

In other videos from Highmark Stadium that made their way to social media, the pop star was shown hanging out with Travis’ brother, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Jason Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie. Travis and Jason’s parents, Donna and Ed, were also by their side in the suite they shared.

Swift — who’s been spending her weekends cheering on Travis, tight end for the Chiefs — also brought a couple of her friends to the game in Buffalo: Cara Delevigne and Ashley Avignone. Last weekend Swift braved the cold in below-zero temperatures in Kansas City.

At Sunday’s game, Swifties were apparently in for a tasty treat, as it was reported that there would be menu items inspired by the singer at the stadium, provided by the Bills’ food service partner, Delaware North. Food options included “Bad Blood” Waffle Fries and the “Karma” Quesadilla.

In just weeks Swift will resume her Eras Tour, starting with performances in Tokyo from Feb. 7-10 before she heads to Australia and Singapore.

Her latest album release, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), recently surpassed two million in sales.

Fans Choose Green Day’s ‘Saviors’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music

Green Day‘s Saviors has topped this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (Jan. 19) on Billboard, choosing the veteran pop-punk trio’s 14th studio album as their favorite new music release of the past week.

Friday Music Guide: Green Day, Nicki Minaj & Future, Bleachers & More

Saviors brought in almost 27% of the vote, beating out new music by Kygo and Ava Max (“Whatever”), Nicki Minaj featuring Future (“Press Play”), Norah Jones (“Running”), Bleachers (“Tiny Moves”), and others.

Nearly four years since their last studio LP — 2020’s Father of All… — Green Day returned on Friday with a brand new set featuring a slew of singles, including Billboard‘s Rock Airplay chart-topper “The American Dream Is Killing Me.”

“‘The American Dream Is Killing Me’ was written by Billie [Joe Armstrong] almost four years ago. But we all knew it was just low-hanging fruit. We’re not a parody of who we are, and songs like that need time to be fleshed out. If that means just sitting back and letting life happen, so be it. And it was one of the last things we recorded,” Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt told Rolling Stone in early January.

In addition to “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” the iconic rockers also released single like “Dilemma,” “Bobby Sox,” “One Eyed Bastard” and “Look Ma, No Brains!” To promote the new album, the band played an impromptu show in the Rockefeller Center subway station on Jan. 16 for a segment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Green Day will hit the road this summer to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their major-label debut, Dookie, and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot by playing both albums in full on a massive stadium tour. The trek launches its North American leg on July 29 at Washington, D.C.’s Nationals Park. Rancid, the Smashing Pumpkins and the Linda Lindas will open the North American shows.

Trailing behind Saviors on the poll is tropical house producer Kygo and pop hitmaker Ava Max’s “Whatever,” which brought in nearly 26% of the vote. With nostalgic vibes, the throwback smash lifts its chorus from Shakira’s English-language breakout single “Whenever, Wherever.”

Mary Weiss, Lead Singer of The Shangri-Las, Dies at 75

Mary Weiss, the lead vocalist of The Shangri-Las — the 1960s pop girl group behind the No. 1 hit “Leader of the Pack” — has died. She was 75.

A representative for Weiss’ record label, Norton Records, confirmed the news of her death to The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday (Jan. 20). Norton released Weiss’ only solo album, Dangerous Game, in 2007.

No cause of death has been reported.

“I think you’re born with music in you,” Weiss said at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum event in 2007. “I sang from the time I could speak. I was always into music, always. My brother was a lot older than me and had an extensive record collection, and I listened to everything.”

In sixth grade, Weiss saw The Everly Brothers perform at a theme park and was inspired by their harmonies. “I always thought they were so underrated as far as what they provided for music and harmony,” she said.

With her older sister Elizabeth “Betty” Weiss, and friends Marguerite “Marge” and Mary Ann Ganser, twins whom the Weiss sisters met in grammar school, the group got together in the Cambria Heights neighborhood of Queens, New York. “We used to sing harmony on the street corner, in bathrooms, in tunnels — Central Park has some great tunnels if you want to sing harmony — and that’s pretty much how we started,” Weiss said during her interview with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Together they performed at local talent shows and school events, being too young to appear in clubs.

In 1964, when Weiss was just 14, the group met producer and songwriter George “Shadow” Morton. Working with him, they broke through with their recording of “Remember (Walking in the Sand),” released in 1964 via Red Bird Records, followed by singles like the chart-topping “Leader of the Pack” and “Give Him a Great Big Kiss” the same year, and “I Can Never Go Home Anymore” in 1965.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Musicians We Lost in 2023

As Weiss was a minor, her mother signed her contracts. The group released only two studio albums before shifting to Mercury Records and disbanding in 1968 amid litigation.

In 2007, Weiss recalled of the group’s busy years in the mid-’60s, “My entire life was a whirlwind … For four or five years, I would go to sleep and not remember what state I was in when I woke up because I would do a TV show in the morning and a radio thing in the afternoon, and be on a plane and be some place else. That was my life.”

“Initially, I loved the music. I didn’t like a lot of the things that came with it. I think it was very, very hard in 1964 to be a woman in the music business,” she said.

Weiss admitted that her “tough image kept a lot of people away, which was really important for survival.”

“It was very difficult back then because I truly believe that a lot of men were considered ‘artists’ whether or not other people wrote for them. Women were considered products,” Weiss explained. “I always found that difficult to accept.”

The Shangri-Las shared concert bills with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, James Brown and more famed acts. Weiss recalled the time Brown booked the group for a show in Texas in a 2007 interview with Rolling Stone, saying, “When I walked out onstage, I thought he was going to have a coronary. He didn’t realize I was white.”

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honored “Leader of the Pack” in its singles category in 2019.

After her time performing with The Shangri-Las, Weiss went on to pursue a career as a commercial interior designer and consultant in New York City.

Weiss is survived by her husband, Ed, and sister, Liz, who is the last living member of The Shangri-Las.

Justin Timberlake Unveils New Song ‘Selfish’ at Memphis Concert & Drops ‘Everything I Thought It Was’ Album Trailer

At a concert in his hometown of Memphis on Friday night (Jan. 19), Justin Timberlake live-debuted the new song “Selfish” — his first new solo material since his fifth studio album, 2018’s Man of the Woods.

“So if I get jealous, I can’t help it/ I want every bit of you, I guess I’m selfish,” JT sings on the silky-smooth R&B track (listen to a snippet in the TikTok video below). “It’s bad for my mental, but I can’t fight it.”

Justin Timberlake Is Returning to ‘Saturday Night Live’ as a Musical Guest Amid New…

@justintimberlake

ONE NIGHT ONLY

♬ Selfish – Justin Timberlake

And that’s not all: Also on Friday night, Timberlake unveiled a trailer for his sixth album along with the project’s official title: Everything I Thought It Was. This comes after the pop star’s Instagram teaser on Wednesday was captioned “EITIW,” leading fans on an Easter egg hunt to decode the acronym.

The album trailer has a sort of Wes Anderson, Asteroid City vibe about it, with a model car driving toward a desert gas station. It also has an A-list narrator in Benicio Del Toro.

“What do we have here?” Del Toro says as the video opens. “Ooh, that’s a nice car! Wait, it’s a model. Did that say JT? OK, that sunset is definitely not real. Oh, there’s Justin! Why won’t he turn around? What the f— is he staring at?”

The trailer — which you can watch below — ends with yellow words against a black screen that read: “Justin Timberlake Presents: Everything I Thought It Was.”

A series of clues had hinted at new Timberlake solo music, starting with the star wiping his Instagram clean in early January. In addition to the mid-week Instagram teaser, Timberlake was also announced as a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday next week and the musical guest on Saturday Night Live (alongside host Dakota Johnson) on Jan. 27. While we don’t have an official release date for “Selfish” yet, you can pre-save the song on Spotify now.

In September, Timberlake reunited with *NSYNC to release “Better Place” for the Trolls Band Together soundtrack, marking the group’s first musical release since 2002 (when the Neptunes remix of “Girlfriend,” featuring Nelly, arrived). That same month, Timberlake reunited with longtime collaborators Timbaland and Nelly Furtado on the song “Keep Going Up!”

Zayn Malik Checks in After His Foot Was Apparently Run Over at Paris Fashion Week

Zayn Malik appeared to have an unfortunate run-in with a car while making his way through a swarming crowd at Paris Fashion Week.

The former One Direction singer — who was attending Kenzo’s Fall/Winter 2024-2025 menswear show, which can be viewed in full here — was filmed and photographed being escorted through a large gathering of people on Friday (Jan. 19). Fans noticed in one clip posted on social media that as Zayn walked alongside bodyguards, it appeared that his foot possibly got caught by a car driving by.

“Whoa, be careful! Be careful!” someone can be heard saying in the clip circulating online. Zayn only momentarily paused, then kept on walking.

During the early hours of Saturday, Zayn checked in with fans and shared a few new photos from Paris on Instagram.

“@kenzo @nigo Thanks for a great show!” he wrote, adding: “My foot is fine !! Thanks to my incredibly well made shoes.”

Zayn ended his comment with a crying-laughing emoji and a thumbs up.

In a three-picture gallery, Zayn offered a side-profile selfie, a snapshot from inside the Kenzo show and a closeup of his right foot, the foot in question.

Zayn’s white Kenzo sneaker wasn’t as pristine as it probably was at the start of the night. The right side of the shoe was covered in dark skid marks. Fortunately, his footwear apparently protected him from injury.

Julia Michaels Talks ‘Surreal’ Experience Writing Music for Disney’s ‘Wish’

Julia Michaels is the youngest female songwriter for a Disney film, and to celebrate, the artist sat down with Billboard’s Rania Aniftos to discuss the process of making the film.

“It was such an honor. I grew up watching Disney and listening to Disney,” she said of working on the project, before adding, “The first time I saw Wish as a movie with all the songs in it, I was like, oh my gosh, this is going to live longer than me. This exists now and there’s going to be littles all over the world that are going to feel connected to these songs and they’re going to grow up with these songs like I grew up with my Disney songs. Wrapping my head around that has been so deeply surreal.”

As for what her younger self would think of her accomplishments as a songwriter, artist and beyond, Michaels noted, “Little me wouldn’t even understand that. I come from a very chaotic, broken family. I didn’t come from money. I didn’t come from anything.”

Lastly, the star teased working on music in the upcoming year. “I’ve been writing with a lot of people again, which has been really good for the soul,” she noted.

Julia Michaels Talks Writing Music for Disney’s Wish,’ Her Approach to Writing for Other Artists & More | Billboard News

Julia Michaels talks about what it was like to become the youngest female songwriter to write songs for Disney film Wish, how she would feel if she were to receive an Oscar nomination, how her anxiety is her power, how she approaches for other artists like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Sabrina Carpenter and more!

Julia Michaels:
There’s gonna be littles all over the world that are going to feel connected to the songs, and they’re gonna grow up with the songs like I grew up with my Disney songs. Hi, I’m Julia Michaels, and this is Billboard News.

Rania Aniftos:
Hey, everybody. I’m Rania Anifto with Billboard News, and I’m so happy to be here with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Julia Michaels.

So Wish, yes, what a beautiful story. You got to write the music for it. And you’re the youngest female songwriter to write songs for a Disney movie.

Julia Michaels:
That’s what I’ve been told.

Rania Aniftos:
What was that like, hearing about that history-making accomplishment?

Julia Michaels:
Overall, just was such an honor. I mean, I’ve … I grew up listening to Disney and watching Disney, Alan Menken and the Lopezs and Howard Ashman, and just the greats, and to be able to, you know, follow in their, their footsteps is beautiful … terrifying and beautiful.

Rania Aniftos:
Obviously, I’m guessing it was pretty intimidating writing for, like, a Disney film. Like, how did you I guess, work through that? Were you were like, “OK, I can do this. I’m set in, they asked me you know, like, and I’m ready to take this on.”
