Hilary Duff is going on a world tour — and for her longtime fans, the news really is what dreams are made of.

Duff announced her long-awaited return to music last year. The pop icon signed with Atlantic Records in September and soon after shared news of her upcoming album, luck… or something, out Feb. 20. She has released two singles so far, “Mature” and “Roommates.”

By the start of 2026, it was clear she was more than ready to dive back in and continue building on momentum. In January, Duff embarked on a four-city mini tour including London, Toronto, Brooklyn and Los Angeles. And for her hometown finale, she made sure to save a special surprise.

Halfway through her set — which featured beloved hits including “Why Not,” “Come Clean” and “What Dreams Are Made Of” — Duff invited three lucky fans on stage to dance with her. And after delivering spot-on choreography, she had a thank you gift waiting for each one of them. With their backs turned to the packed venue, Duff gave each fan a black t-shirt and told them not to turn around until her signal.

Once they were all ready, the three fans spun to face the audience and revealed major news, with three words spread out across each shirt: “World Tour Loading…”

As the crowd erupted in celebratory cheers and applause, Duff couldn’t help but beam as she took it all in. “It’s a trip,” she later said. “I can’t believe I’m here 18 years later.”

Duff has charted seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and all five of her albums have debuted within the Billboard 200’s top 5. Metamorphosis (2003) and Most Wanted (2005) both hit No. 1.

Nancy Seltzer, a PR legend who worked with many of the giants of entertainment, including the late Whitney Houston and Garth Brooks, died Wednesday (Jan. 28) following a brief stay at a hospital in Los Angeles. She was 79.

A smart operator, Seltzer got about her work “quietly, always with integrity, dogged determination, and purpose,” reads a statement on Brooks’ website.

Seltzer’s clients include some of the greatest stars of stage and screen, from Richard Burton to Sean Connery, Robert Downey Jr., and others. For many years, she could be spotted running the Academy Awards red carpet, and had a knack for navigating “moments of triumph and vulnerability with a steady hand and unwavering discretion,” Brooks’ site continues.

“Public relations is the hardest job in show business,” Brooks remarked of Seltzer. “She always handled every situation with the utmost class.”

Seltzer also served as rep for best-selling author Danielle Steel, opera singer Joyce DiDonato and Spanish opera singer Placido Domingo, and Hollywood A-listers including Julia Roberts, Bette Davis, Nicole Kidman, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman and many more, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Artists trusted Seltzer not just for her steady hand, experience and class, but recognized her maternal instinct: she was always protective of the talent she represented.

Seltzer started her career in her hometown, New York, before heading west to L.A. where, for almost 50 years, she operated the bicoastal boutique publicity firm, Nancy Seltzer & Associates. The PR business was active at the time of Seltzer’s death.

“Ms. Seltzer was particularly known for her extraordinary trust. She created long lasting friendships with people from all over the world to whom she was also wonderful, kind, caring and fiercely loyal,” reads a statement from her business.

Seltzer also had a hand in promoting a slew of feature films including Pirates of the Caribbean, Breaking Away, All That Jazz, Splash, RoboCop, Spinal Tap, Aliens, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, When Harry Met Sally… and A Few Good Men, and repped such movies as Amadeus, Misery, Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, and The Shawshank Redemption.
