Anitta’s Coachella 2022 Set Moved to Friday Slot

Coachella has announced a slight update to its 2022 schedule. Anitta, who originally was scheduled to be performing on Saturday at this year’s festival, will now appear on the Coachella stage on Friday.

The festival will take place over two weekends, April 15-17 and April 22-24, with Anitta taking the stage on April 15 and April 22.

“Can’t wait, it’s gonna be insane!” Anitta tweeted with the update.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that The Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia are replacing Kanye West as headliners in the Sunday (April 17 and 24) slot of this year’s event. Their names appeared on on a revamped poster that dropped on Wednesday, placing the new headliners alongside those previously announced: Harry Styles (on Friday, April 15 and 22) and Billie Eilish (on Saturday, April 16 and 23). Ye was slated to perform at the Indio, Calif., fest, but pulled out on Monday.

This year, an unprecedented number of Latin acts — including Anitta, Karol G, Grupo Firme and Banda MS — are set to perform at Coachella. Check out Billboard‘s highlights of all the Latin artists performing at Coachella 2022 here, and view the full music lineup on the festival’s website.

Halle Berry Reacts to Reba McEntire Hairstyle Comparison

Halle Berry responded to an unexpected Reba McEntire comparison this week.

The actress, who at one time rocked short, auburn hair in the style of Reba’s signature look, had no problem being compared to the country icon.

“Halle looks like she about to sing ‘a single mom who works too hard, who loves her kids and never stops,’” one Twitter user captioned a photo of Berry circa the late ’90s on Tuesday (April 5). The lyrics were lifted from McEntire’s “I’m a Survivor,” the theme song to her Reba sitcom that premiered on The WB in 2001.

“… and what about it?” Berry responded the next day, along with a crying-laughing emoji.

McEntire is still offering a message of strength in 2022: The country star recently took the stage at the Oscars to sing the Diane Warren-written “Somehow You Do” from the film Four Good Days. The tune was nominated for best original song at this year’s awards ceremony.

See Berry’s Twitter thread, featuring her Reba-inspired look, below.

Kid Rock Opens Bad Reputation Tour With Video Message From Donald Trump: ‘Let’s Make America Rock Again’

Kid Rock is launching his 2022 tour with a video message from former President Donald Trump.

Prior to stepping onstage at his Bad Reputation tour opener on Wednesday (April 6) in Evansville, Ind., the 51-year-old rocker played an introductory clip from the 45th commander in chief for concert-goers at the Ford Center.

“Hello, everyone. I love you all. I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock concert tonight,” Trump said in the brief video. “Quite frankly, he’s amazing. All of you in attendance are truly the backbone of our great country. Hard-working, God-fearing rock-and-roll patriots.”

The former president added, “Bob is truly one of the greatest entertainers of our time. Not the best golfer by any means, his golf game could use a little work, but a great, great entertainer, and that’s why you’re there. Let’s all continue to love one another, fight for our God-given freedoms, and most of all, let’s make America rock again.”

Trump concluded his message by putting on a red baseball cap that read “Make America Rock Again,” a nod to his trademark MAGA hat. Watch the full video here.

Rock, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, has been a major supporter of Trump over the years. The rapper-turned-southern-rocker visited the former president at the White House in 2017 and he has golfed with Trump on numerous occasions. Earlier this year, Rock spoke to Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson about his past interactions with Trump.

Rock’s Bad Reputation tour is scheduled to visit cities across the United States through mid-September. The 25-show trek features special guests Foreigner, Grand Funk Railroad, Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening and Trey Lewis on select dates.

The tour is titled after his 11th album, the 18-track Bad Reputation, which arrived in late March and includes drawling rockers such as “Ala-F—in’-Bama,” “The Nashville I Know” and “Still Somethin’.”

Here’s what you need to know about this year’s top Latin artist finalists at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.

Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny, who won this category last year, is a finalist again. Although he hasn’t released an album since 2020, he did release the chart-topping tracks “Yonaguni” and the Aventura-assisted “Volví,” which make him a top candidate. His record-breaking El Último Tour Del Mundo, which he wrapped up in Miami earlier this month, is also up for best Latin tour.

Karol G

Last year’s top Latin female artist winner, Karol G is not only a finalist in that category again (up against Kali Uchis and Rosalía), she’s also up for top Latin artist and top Latin album for her chart-topping KG0516 set, which became her first Top Latin Albums chart-topper.

Rauw Alejandro

The Puerto Rican artist got everyone on their feet with his disco-pop hit “Todo De Ti,” which is up for top Latin song. He’s also up for top Latin album for Vice Versa, which scored him his first No. 1 set on any Billboard albums chart, top Latin male artist and top Latin artist.

Kali Uchis 

The Colombian-American singer-songwriter scored four mentions in this year’s list of finalists. Her Spanish-language album Sin Miedo (Del Amor Y Otros Demonios) is up for top Latin album, and she’s also up for top Latin female artist and top Latin song for her dreamy hit “telepatía,” which rose to No. 1 on three charts, including Hot Latin Songs and both Latin and Rhythmic Airplay

Farruko

Up for top Latin artist, Farruko is also a finalist in the top Latin male artist category, top dance/electronic song and top Latin song for his global hit “Pepas.” The club-ready banger scored Farru, who announced his new embrace of Christianity this year, his first No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.
