Fergie made her return to the stage in what Ludacris called her first performance in seven years when she appeared a special guest during his star-studded set at One Musicfest in Atlanta on Sunday night (Oct. 26).

“We got Fergie out the muthaf—king house! Can y’all please make some noise?” Luda asked the raucous crowd. “She ain’t perform in over seven years and she came to Atlanta, Ga.!”

Fergie popped out through a riser in a denim bottom and furry jacket as she performed her “Glamorous” smash with Luda, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2007.

“They ain’t ready for this,” she teased, before leading into her “London Bridge (Oh Shit)” anthem, which saw the Hot 100 No. 1 hit’s producer, Polow Da Don, join her on stage to assist with ad-libs.

Fergie then gave Luda his flowers. “Thank you so much for being here for me every single time,” she said. “Everyone give it up for Luda!”

As VIBE points out, while it’s been nearly a decade since Fergie hit a festival stage, she did perform at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards with Jack Harlow.

Ludacris brought the stars to Atlanta for his memorable set, which he deemed to be his “favorite show ever.” The performance saw appearances from Jermaine Dupri, Jadakiss, Jeezy, Usher, Chingy, Shawna and LL Cool J.

“That was my favorite show ever,” Luda told VIBE. “It’s so dope to see hip-hop coming together from all walks, different generations, and [fans] just appreciating the art of what we’ve done — changing our lives. I’ve done a lot of shows over the last 25 years of my life, but I’m going to go ahead and put this one at the top, man.”

Beware, Halloween is right around the corner.
The scariest part of it all, beyond the skeletons and ghouls, is going without a costume. If you do happen not to have a costume, you’re certainly not the only one looking for something to wear. When it comes to last-minute costumes, DIY is a great way to go, and with the help of TikTok and Pinterest, you’ll never run out of costume ideas. You can also depend on the big three — Amazon, Walmart and Target -– to have everything you need for the perfect Halloween celebration, from decorations to candy and costumes.

Since we’re in the business of making things easier for you, we searched online and put together a list of cheap, last-minute Halloween costumes that you can have delivered well before Hallow’s Eve. And if you’re a Prime Member, you’ll get fast and free delivery at no additional charge. Below, we’ve included a handful of our favorite no-effort costumes that’ll be a scream this Halloween.

Nothing says “easy Halloween costume” like a mustache and a hat, and guess what? Luigi has both of those things. This Luigi costume currently retails for $20 at Target and depicts the lovable plumber in all his green glory, down to his gloves.

If you’re really not in the mood to go all-out this year, why not make the most of the holiday and get cozied up in this skeleton onesie? Retailing for $42.99, the unisex style features a spooky skeleton design and a slim fit with a hood. The costume is basically like wearing a fuzzy blanket. What could be bad about that?

Feeling a little devilish this Halloween but not willing to put in maximum effort when curating your look? Walmart has got you covered. This $8.88 devil dress-up kit comes with all you need to channel your inner evil, from horns and a bowtie to a pointy tail.

Another easy costume calls for another onesie, this time in the shape of a Fireball whiskey bottle. This unisex costume from Walmart retails for $24.97 and turns the wearer into one of the hottest drinks around, for an affordable price.

Simple Halloween costumes can be classified as some type of elevated onesie, and this Mr. Incredible costume certainly fits the bill. Retailing for $43.19, that’s 40% off, the costume is essentially a red and black jumpsuit with faux muscles throughout, giving the wearer a superhero build in seconds.

If you don’t want to go all out with your costume, simply throw on a witch hat. The one pictured above has great reviews on Amazon (check here for cheaper hats), but if you want to dress as Elphaba (without dipping yourself in green makeup), consider wearing green leggings and green gloves to pull off the look.

Channel Wayne’s World in this bestselling, wig and hat from Amazon. The wig-hat combo is also available for different characters including Beetlejuice and Bad Elf.

This Unicorn costume is currently on sale for $23 at Amazon and it’s as easy as can be. Just fill it with air and strap it on. It’s that easy.

The Lorax is another TikTok-viral costume that won’t take much work to put together. Just throw on the eyebrows and matching mustache with an orange bodysuit (see DIY directions here).

Shopping for pet costumes can be tricky because it’s hard to choose just one (they’re all so cute!). This adorable Olaf costume is a top pick at Amazon and available for dogs ranging in size from S-XL.

Need a Beetlejuice costume? Channel Lydia, or another other gothic character, in this costume wig. Besides Lydia, the wig is available in designs inspired by characters such as Wednesday and Morticia Addams, Edward Scissorhands, Cruella de Vil and the Sanderson sisters.

Feeling like a pop star? From Britney Spears to Hannah Montana, transform into your favorite pop star with this fake microphone headset.

Move over Ken & Barbie, there’s another dynamic duo in town! This Milk & Cookies costume is a cute costume idea for couples of all ages.

And it’s incredibly easy one to put together, just throw on a mask and hooded cape, and don’t forget your rubber knife.

It was supposed to be a North American arena tour. When Shakira first announced her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran outing in April 2024, the route took her to arenas across the continent that fall. But within months, it morphed into something else. Buoyed by the sustained success of her album of the same name — the set, released by Sony Music Latin, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and Top Latin Pop Albums charts — and her subsequent viral single, “Soltera,” live demand for Shakira exploded. That October, she announced Latin American stadium dates for early 2025 — and scrapped her North American arena tour, instead announcing a mix of stadium and arena dates for the continent for May and June 2025.

That bold move has paid off handsomely. Through the 82-show tour’s first 64 dates, Shakira grossed $327.4 million and sold 2.5 million tickets, according to Billboard Boxscore. And the Live Nation-promoted tour also has a place in history: Shakira now boasts the highest-grossing Latin tour ever by a woman and the second highest-grossing Latin tour ever (behind only Luis Miguel’s 2023-24 outing, which grossed $409.5 million).

The tour’s sales include her historic 12-concert run at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros — the most shows a single tour has ever played at the iconic venue formerly known as Foro Sol. Shakira sold 65,000 tickets per night, according to promoter OCESA, for a total of 780,000 tickets sold.

Shakira will be honored as Global Touring Icon at Billboard‘s Live Music Summit, held Nov. 3 in Los Angeles. For tickets and more information, click here.

Shakira, who returned to the road on Oct. 25 for a run of 17 Latin American stadium dates that will take her through mid-­December, is approaching Miguel’s record mark — and she has yet to announce a possible European leg of the tour. She’ll end 2025 with two Up Close & Personal shows at Miami’s Hard Rock Casino on Dec. 27 and 28.

Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran and its subsequent tour followed Shakira’s high-profile heartbreak and separation. “I believe this has been a healing process for me and for many people — not just women; men, too. I think together we’ve learned that you grow from setbacks and that together we heal when we support each other,” she told Billboard backstage at one of her Mexico City shows in March. “These are more than just concerts. They’re very profound gatherings where healing happens. With each show, I feel stronger and happier.”

This story appears in the Oct. 25, 2025, issue of Billboard.

Grammy-winning artist Kali Uchis, five-time Grammy nominee Kehlani, and KPop Demon Hunters’ songwriter, lead vocalist and rising star EJAE will be honored at the 17th annual ASCAP Women Behind the Music. The event is set for Wednesday, Nov. 12, in Los Angeles.

Kehlani, a five-time Grammy nominee, received the Rule Breaker Award at the Billboard Women in Music event in 2017. Uchis took home a Grammy five years ago for best dance recording as a featured artist on Kaytranada’s “10%.” EJAE co-wrote “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters and performed the upbeat song as Rumi, the leader of the girl group HUNTR/X. The song logged eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has a good chance of landing an Oscar nomination for best original song.

Coco Jones, Amanda Jones and Autumn Rowe were honored at the 2024 ASCAP Women Behind the Music. Other past honorees include Kandi Burruss, Kelly Rowland, Victoria Monét, Joelle James, Salt-N-Pepa, Summer Walker, Jazmine Sullivan, Sheila E., production and songwriting duo Nova Wav, along with executives Shari Bryant, Brittney Davis, Phylicia Fant, Sammye Scott and Nicole Wyskoarko.

“Every year, ASCAP looks forward to spotlighting some of music’s most extraordinary women by honoring them for their achievements at our Women Behind the Music event,” Nicole George-Middleton, ASCAP executive vp & head of creative membership said in a statement. “​This year we are thrilled to recognize three women who are pushing boundaries and capturing the world’s attention across different genres. Their creative success has propelled them to the top of the charts and is set to inspire the next generation of women in music.”

George-Middleton will be on hand to present the 2025 honorees. DJ C Devone will provide music at the event.
