British songbird Olivia Dean has had a wild year. Between her best new artist Grammy win in February to her successful pushback on Ticketmaster to cap resale prices for her upcoming debut North American arena tour, the London-bred singer has a lot to reflect on.

That’s exactly what she did in a cover story for ELLE magazine’s Women in Music issue, where the “Nice to Each Other” star mused on her big Grammy night and riding high on charts around the world thanks to her breakthrough hit, the Billboard Pop Airplay No. 1 smash “Man I Need.”

Less than a week after taking home the coveted prize she told the magazine that she couldn’t believe this is her life. “My heart is extremely full in a way that is kind of hard to even describe. I did not think that was going to happen. I can’t lie to you. I’ve never won an award for music before,” she said of the highest accolade she’s received so far for her acclaimed sophomore full-length album, The Art of Loving.

She said the win over a ridiculously stacked roster of nominees including Addison Rae, Alex Warren, KATSEYE, Leon Thomas, Lola Young, sombr and The Marías was all the more surreal because of her vantage point at the show. Watching Lauryn Hill participate in the all-star tribute to D’Angelo — Hill won best new artist the year Dean was born, 1999, and the singer’s middle name is Lauryn in tribute to the Fugees legend — all she could think was that it was “all the most serendipitous full-circle moment. I was just at home in London a couple of weeks ago on my sofa. Then suddenly I’m holding a Grammy, and Queen Latifah’s looking at me.”

And though she has a great crew of friends and family that keep her grounded, Dean revealed that she’s also learned the value of not letting the outside world shape how she feels about herself. So, after the Grammys win she deleted all her social media apps.

“I’ve been thinking about doing it for a while,” she said. “Even though the love has been overwhelming, even that is not healthy sometimes. I don’t think you’re supposed to know everyone’s opinion about you. And I’ve decided I want to live in sweet ignorance.”

After achieving the hard-won crossover in the U.S. that so many British artists dream of, Dean is also conscious of making sure her fans are able to come along for the ride. When the tickets to her first North American arena tour sold out so fast many of her day one fans couldn’t beat the bots to get seats, she demanded that Ticketmaster refund fans who were overcharged by resellers and cap prices going forward.

“There is no way that I’m going to get up on that stage and sing my heart out while somebody sits at home and makes $500 or $600 off of me and you,” she told the magazine. “I want people to be able to afford to come to the show. I don’t think you need to be someone who’s got loads of money to enjoy your favorite album. Full stop.”

The singer also sat down for one of ELLE’s AMA lightning rounds, saying “Nice To Each Other” best represents her as an artist because is paints her as “fun, flirty and cheeky,” with an overall message of joy and positivity. Her earliest music memory was the animated 1995 Disney film Pocahontas, specifically the ballad “Colors of the Wind,” with Dean recalling how she would sit in front of the TV and watch it over and over until her mum and granny got sick of it.

Describing the moment “Man I Need” hit the top of the Pop Airplay chart in the U.S., Dean said she was at the airport about to hit the road in the U.S. on Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour having a pint and did a little cheers to celebrate her milestone. And, like a lot of fellow music nerds, she said her dream collaborator is Stevie Wonder.

Dean’s The Art of Loving North American tour will kick off on July 10 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

In addition to being one of the most accomplished artists on the planet, Taylor Swift is Travis Kelce‘s wifey — regardless of whether they’ve made it legal yet.

On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast posted Wednesday (April 1), the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and brother Jason Kelce chatted with Jerrod Calhoun — head coach for the University of Cincinnati basketball team — about college sports. At one point, Travis told the show’s guest, “Man, you’re getting me fired up right now, coach.”

“I think I got like one semester left of eligibility, coach,” continued the athlete, who played both football and basketball when he was an Ohio high schooler.

“Hey, we’ll get you a good NIL deal,” Calhoun quipped in response. “You gotta ask your wife.”

Travis didn’t skip a beat. “Exactly, yeah,” he said before pretending to call out to Swift off camera. ‘Sweetie, I’m going back to school!”

The 14-time Grammy winner and Grotesquerie star have been engaged since August. At the time, the pair shared photos from the proposal — for which Travis secretly set up an enchanted rose garden right outside their home — and wrote, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

Ever since, Swift and Travis have been tight-lipped about the details of their wedding, prompting fans online to regularly speculate on whether the pair have already tied the knot privately. But there are at least a couple of things we know about their big day, with the Eras Tour headliner previously revealing that she plans on having a massive guest list and that Ed Sheeran will probably want to perform at the reception.

Olivia Rodrigo fans won’t be sad at all to hear this news: On Thursday (April 2), the singer announced that her highly anticipated third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, is dropping this summer.

Sharing the album’s dreamy cover — a photo of Rodrigo leaning backward on a swing, backdropped by a pale blue sky — the Grammy winner wrote on Instagram, “my third album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ is out June 12th.”

“I am so proud of this record and I can’t wait for you to hear it,” she continued. “available for preorder now!”

On her website, a number of various vinyls, CDs and cassettes of the album are available to purchase, as well as signed copies featuring a photo of Rodrigo frolicking through a grassy field at night while wearing a sheer pink dress.

Rodrigo last dropped an album in 2023, topping the Billboard 200 with Guts. The album spawned Billboard Hot 100-topping lead single “Vampire” and served as the basis for the artist’s Guts World Tour. The majority of the trek ran from February through October 2024, with Rodrigo also playing shows throughout the first half of 2025.

Before Guts came Sour, the debut album that launched Rodrigo into superstar status. The project also topped the Billboard 200 and spawned a number of Hot 100 hits, including No. 1s “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U.”

The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum has been teasing OR3 for some time, revealing some of the juiciest details in a British Vogue cover story. She told the publication at the time of the interview that the LP is full of “sad love songs” based on her realization that all of her “favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.”

“[I thought] that the second I’m in a really great relationship, I’m gonna start feeling good about myself, and this stuff is going to fall into place,” added Rodrigo, who was most recently linked to actor Louis Partridge, at the time. “But it just doesn’t work like that.”

King Princess must be feeling fantastic.

Billboard can exclusively reveal that the singer-songwriter is a cast member of the upcoming stage production of Girl, Interrupted at The Public Theater in New York City. This will be the artist’s theatrical debut.

Previously adapted into a 1999 film of the same name starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie (the role for which she won the best supporting actress Oscar), Girl, Interrupted is author Susanna Kaysen’s bestselling 1993 memoir. Girl, Interrupted follows Kaysen during an 18-month stint in a psychiatric hospital as she navigates her new life among the other patients and the doctors on staff. The stage production’s book is penned by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Martyna Majok and will feature original music by two-time Grammy winner Aimee Mann. King Princess will play Lisa, a fellow patient at the psychiatric hospital. Jo Bonney directs with choreography by Sonya Tayeh.

The complete cast of Girl, Interrupted at the Public Theatre is Leela Bassuk (Understudy), Ta’Rea Campbell (Valerie), Gabi Campo (Tori), Juliana Canfield (Susanna), Eileen Doan (Understudy), Mano Felciano (Man/Musician), King Princess (Lisa), Gunnar Manchester (Understudy), Mia Pak (Grace), Katherine Reis (Daisy), Anna Roman (Understudy), Sally Shaw (Polly), Emily Skinner (Dr. Wick), Rachel Stern (Understudy) and Lauren Jeanne Thomas (Judy/Musician).

Though this is King Princess’ theatrical debut, this is not her first time acting. The Brooklyn-based musician made her screen acting debut as a series regular on the second season of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers and appeared alongside leads Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in the Oscar-nominated 2025 film Song Sung Blue. King Princess will next appear alongside Julia Fox, Este Haim and Maya Hawke in the upcoming romantic comedy One Night Only, written and directed by Will Gluck (Easy A, Friends With Benefits).

The National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City (NAMI-NYC) will join forces with The Public Theater in support of this production, including a post-show talkback during June.

The choreographer behind *NSYNC‘s famous “Bye Bye Bye” dance is suing Sony Music after it appeared in the Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine, claiming the label had no right to sell access to his iconic routine.

Darrin Henson, who won the MTV Video Music Award for best choreography in 2000 for the “Bye Bye Bye” music video, says in his lawsuit that he owns copyrights to the choreography, but that Sony has wrongfully “held themselves out as the owners of the work.”

The dispute was sparked by the 2024 Deadpool movie, in which the title character dances to “Bye Bye Bye” in the opening sequence. The scene was heavily memed on TikTok and other social media platforms, causing a streaming boom for *NSYNC’s track.

As a result, Henson claims that his decades-old dance moves are now “unjustly affiliated with Marvel”— all because Sony granted a license for a piece of intellectual property that it didn’t own.

“The reality is that the work belongs to Henson, and to obtain full acknowledgement of his ownership and a complete transfer of all monies earned by SME and its licensees, the plaintiff must seek declaratory relief from the court,” his lawyers write in their March 27 complaint, which was obtained by Billboard.

Henson says Sony also wrongfully licensed the choreography to Epic Games for use in the video game Fortnite as an “emote” — a move that gamers can purchase as an add-on downloadable content for the game.

The lawsuit claims Henson attempted to resolve the dispute “amicably,” but that Sony has refused to budge. The label allegedly told him that, because it owns the copyrights to the “Bye Bye Bye” music video, it was entitled to license out the use of dance to Marvel Studios and Epic.

A rep for Sony Music declined to comment on Thursday (April 2). Marvel and Epic are not named as defendants in the lawsuit nor accused of any wrongdoing.

Henson’s case is just the latest court fight over choreography. Last year, a dancer who worked with Usher and Jennifer Lopez sued over allegations that Fortnite stole his moves from a recent Rauw Alejandro music video. Before that, the TikTok user who says she created the viral “Apple dance” to a Charli xcx song sued Roblox for selling it.

For years, such cases faced skeptical judges, who questioned whether simple dance moves were even covered by copyright law, which historically covered only more elaborate choreography such as ballets. But in 2023, a federal appeals court issued a first-of-its-kind ruling reviving such a lawsuit against Epic, saying there was “no reason to treat choreography differently” from longer dance routines.

The music video for “Bye Bye Bye,” released in January 2000 as the lead single from the band’s No Strings Attached, is a legendary piece of 2000s pop culture, featuring the boy band members hung from puppeteer’s strings before breaking into dance. The video spent 25 consecutive days at No. 1 on MTV’s then-ubiquitous Total Request Live countdown, and was ranked at No. 21 on Billboard’s 100 Greatest Music Videos of the 21st Century.

In his lawsuit, Henson says he was recruited by the band’s manager to create the sequence for the group in October 1999. And when he did so, he says he never signed any kind of agreement handing over the rights to anyone.

“Henson did not sign a work made for hire agreement prior to the creation of the work, and as such by its creation alone, became the sole owner of the work,” his lawyers write. “To date, he has not transferred said ownership to any third party.”
