Like millions of viewers, Rashad Raisani grew enchanted with Music City through watching the soapy nighttime drama Nashville, which captivated fans during its 2012-2018 run and led to a major tourism boom in Nashville and interest in country music.
So, when it came time to figure out where the latest edition of Ryan Murphy’s first responder procedural 9-1-1 would take place, Nashville was top of mind for Raisani, who serves as executive producer, co-creator and showrunner for 9-1-1: Nashville.
“Nashville was my first kind of exposure to the city, and I really loved the show,” Raisani says. “And it was just in my brain that I like the city and the music.”
Like the flagship 9-1-1, which is based in Los Angeles and premiered in 2018, and 9-1-1: Lonestar, which aired for five seasons, the latest addition to the franchise centers around a group of firefighters, led by Captain Don Hart (played by Chris O’Donnell), as they deal with life-threatening emergencies each episode.
But unlike its predecessors, 9-1-1: Nashville “really does infuse the city of Nashville” as a character, Raisani says. “I love all three of them, but this one is the most location-specific, from the landmarks that we go to to the musical references and musical identity of the characters. The musical element is undeniable about Nashville, so we knew that we wanted to honor and to explore that in the show.”
The premiere episode, which debuted Oct. 9 on ABC and Hulu, immediately incorporated Nashville’s music scene into the plot, with country superstar Kane Brown performing an outdoor concert when a storm blows down the stage, trapping both fans and crew.
The Nashville setting even allows for characters to be part of the music community: Grammy-winning artist LeAnn Rimes plays Dixie, “our unapologetic villain,” Raisani says, and is a frustrated back-up singer. “She’s got a real deep connection to lots of famous artists, some of which we hope to get on the show as we go forward,” he says.
One of the young firefighters, played by Tony-nominated actress Hailey Kilgore, plays an aspiring musician who the audience will see play in local honky-tonks as she pursues her dream.
The show has already filmed at Ascend Amphitheater and Ryman Auditorium, and Raisani has a wish list that includes iconic Nashville venues including the Bluebird Café and Tootsie’s. “We’re ticking off our list as the stories allow,” he says.
Raisani is working closely with music supervisors Amanda Kreig Thomas and Anna Romanoff, both of whom have worked on 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lonestar on licensing music for 9-1-1: Nashville and to set the musical tone.
The syncs are still being worked on in post-production for the show, but the first episode included Thomas Rhett’s “Feelin’ Country,” and Big & Rich’s “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).”
“We definitely hit country hard, but we definitely expand past that as well,” Raisani says. “For example, we have an episode coming up where I said, ‘I need two songs, both by famous divas. It could be Whitney, it could be Mariah, it could be Dolly. I need one that’s high octane, rollicking and I need one that’s a beautiful ballad.’ And then they’ll go off and find 20 songs that meet those criteria.”
Previously working on 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lonestar helped Kreig Thomas and Romanoff find their rhythm. “In the early dates of Lone Star, there was this question of ‘We’re set in Texas, how should the music reflect that,’ and very quickly [we realized] the DNA of 9-1-1 is it really has a universal appeal to it,” Kreig Thomas says. “There’s always big hits that are not necessarily country [and] we keep it both localized and universal, so I think that’s something to expect from [9-1-1: Nashville] with the added touch of we have musician characters.”
“From a music perspective, 9-1-1: Nashville is like the highest form of what we do on these shows,” Romanoff says. “But a lot of the pieces in the building blocks are still there from 9-1-1 and Lone Star. The cadence that the show works at is so crazy in a very fun way. It kind of mirrors the lives of the people on the show, so I think learning how to work in those environments before it was the Music City version was a super helpful foundation.”
Both Kreig Thomas and Romanoff say they don’t have a wish list of artists to feature on the show—though Romanoff says she loves Sierra Ferrell “and I’m trying to get her into everything.” Kreig Thomas, who immersed herself in country music when she was music supervisor for the 2022 drama Monarch, which was about a fictional country music dynasty, adds, “there’s just really interesting things coming out of country music, like Dasha and Jessie Murph. Madeline Edwards is another artist that’s doing really cool things, but it all goes back to story and vibe and what’s going to fit in the way we’re telling this world. It’s still a 9-1-1 so the priority will always be the emergencies.”
Their guide to make sure their musical choices are authentic is music producer/composer Tim Lauer, who worked on Nashville and whose father was the director of photography for Robert Altman’s classic 1975 film, Nashville. “[Tim] has been this incredible resource who just knows the city and the history and the landscape and the architect and the people,” Raisani says. “He knows all the people to talk to, to get each crazy location, or to help us get into the rodeo, or get into the Ascend.”
Similarly, Kreig Thomas says Lauer has been critical part of their success as they work with publishers, labels and songwriters. “Tim has been such a great liaison to that Nashville musician community that’s been really invaluable,” she says. “He’s definitely been our musical sherpa.”
Following Brown’s appearance in the premiere, Raisani hopes to have other country artists appear in story lines, but, he adds, scheduling can be difficult. “We’ve started shooting in the summer, which is [country artists’] touring season, so it’s a headache to get these [big names]. The people you want are awesome, but their schedules are really tricky.”
Given his love of the show Nashville, Raisani isn’t ruling out having some fictional characters from that show pop up on 9-1-1: Nashville. “I think that would be amazing,” he says. “I don’t know about the rights and ownership, but what if I wanted [Nashville leads] Luke Wheeler or Rayna James or somebody to run into one of [our characters],” he says, although there could be issues because James died on the show and Connie Britton, who played James, also appeared as a dispatcher on the first season of 9-1-1. “So maybe that would be a little bit complicated for her,” Raisani says, “but I think I love the possibility of it.”

Ty Dolla $ign takes Billboard out to his favorite West Hollywood eatery to talk about his new album, Tycoon, on the latest episode of Take Us Out.
The R&B star took Billboard to Casa Madera in West Hollywood, Calif., which he called one of the finest restaurants in the whole neighborhood. After ordering various dishes that included a Yucatan salad, a hummus platter and some red rice, Ty spoke about the concept behind his new album, Tycoon, which drops on Friday (Oct. 17).
“A tycoon is a boss,” Ty explained. “It came from a Japanese word ‘tycoon,’ which means ‘great lord.’ It’s the same thing — great boss, the best at your craft. The top of your game, right? That’s what I feel like I’ve reached. There’s still heights I wanna reach, there’s still places I wanna go, there’s still more goals I have, but I’m there. I’m one of the biggest artists in the game.”
He then spoke about founding his label EZMNY Records, including signing his first artist, Leon Thomas. However, he quickly added that his daughter was by far his “greatest accomplishment.”
The new episode of Take Us Out comes after Sean Paul and Love Island‘s Chelley sat down for candid conversation while eating Jamaican food earlier in October. While splitting some jerk mac and cheese spring rolls, the two of them reflected on Sean Paul’s unbelievable legacy and spoke about his groundbreaking Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s “Get Busy,” “Temperature,” “Cheap Thrills” with Sia, and of course, “Baby Boy” with Beyoncé.
Check out the latest episode of Take Us Out with Ty Dolla $ign above.

In the fall of 2000, songwriter Steven Dale Jones (“Ten Thousand Angels,” “Singles You Up”) played a club in Atlanta the night he’d learned that Arista planned to release his song “One More Day.”
“I remember saying, ‘This is going to be a Diamond Rio single, and I hope you hear it so much you get tired of hearing it,’” Jones recalls.
Twenty-five years since the song’s Oct. 27, 2000, release, “One More Day” has been heard more than 5.5 million times on the radio, according to BMI, putting it in league with such titles as The Beatles’ “Penny Lane,” Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven” and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.”
Diamond Rio has never been a band that commands constant media attention, so “One More Day” reached that level through a workman-like route, finding its place in people’s lives through its utilitarian value: the harmony-drenched chorus has ideal sing-along qualities, it’s an attractive wedding song and even more suited for funerals. The song – and the band – stealthily established a place in culture by assisting people through big personal moments, both in solitude and with company.
“I can never explain it exactly,” Diamond Rio frontman Marty Roe reflects. “You understand why in hindsight. You never expect it, never want it, but there it is, and it’s a blessing that something we did has helped people through all that. It’s a sobering thing to go, ‘Wow, that’s impactful. And I didn’t have anything to do it.’”
More accurately, everyone who had a role in “One More Day” seems to have allowed the song to find its way. Its path has proven quite timely, too, helping the country process its grief in the aftermath of a plane crash in 2001, the death of NASCAR Dale Earnhardt and the tragic loss of life in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Even now, its 25th anniversary coincides with developments for songwriter Bobby Tomberlin (“A Good Day To Run,” “Someday It’ll All Make Sense”): he’s been affiliated with Curb | Word Publishing for 30 years, and he just published his autobiography, I’ve Lived Country Music.
“How wild is that,” Tomberlin says. “You know, none of that was planned.”
Tomberlin wasn’t planned either. He was given up for adoption after his birth in Mobile, Ala., but was fortunate enough to be taken into a safe, nurturing home at just four months. “The first thing the foster parent told them when they picked me up in Montgomery was ‘The only time this baby cries is when the radio is turned off,’” Tomberlin notes. “So it was like I was consumed with music from the very beginning.”
Tomberlin got into radio, and when he picked up a gig at WLAY Muscle Shoals, he met Jones, a loan officer at a local bank, on his second day in town. A decade later, both of them had relocated in Nashville, and in late-1998, Tomberlin was missing some loved ones during the holidays. He wrote part of an opening verse, concluding it with a wish for “one more day with you.” The next day, he presented it to Jones at a writing appointment, and Jones immediately linked it to a three-note melody he’d been carrying that fit the “One More Day” title. Jones shifted from his usual guitar to piano, a move that forced him to keep the song simple.
They finished it that day, and Jones turned in a quick demo, and got a quick response. The Clark Family Experience put it on hold, though they let it go a short time later. Alabama considered it for about three days, then Mark Wills, and finally it got pitched to Brooks & Dunn, though Ronnie Dunn thought it sounded like it was best-suited for Diamond Rio.
The band heard it on the bus among a slew of potential songs, and they were fatigued enough from listening that nobody made a big deal about it. Although they all quietly agreed it was a song they should take it seriously.
“There was none of this ‘We know it’s going to be a hit,’” keyboardist Dan Truman suggests. “There was none of this super-excited stuff that you hear these stories about. It’s so subtle, and it’s so simple, but we were all luckily in agreement: ‘Let’s put that one on hold.’”
They developed their own simple treatment – nothing flashy, but enough to take advantage of their trademark, bluegrass-tinged harmonies and Jimmy Olander’s double-bender guitar. And they played in communal spirit, mixing some unison riffs with tradeoffs in the background: Gene Johnson’s mandolin flowed into Truman’s piano into Olander’s guitar so gracefully that it felt like one musician was playing all the parts.
“One More Day” was not a first choice for a single. But when RCA Music Group Nashville president Joe Galante played new music at a meeting in Los Angeles, a woman in the room sent him a note suggesting that he present that song. The response was so overwhelming that the label changed plans and released it quickly. Radio programmers reacted similarly – many added it into rotation early, even though it wasn’t the standard uptempo song that broadcasters routinely seek.
“We really didn’t hear a whole lot about, ‘Oh, it’s getting great spins,’” Roe recalls. “It was more about how it affected them. And that was different – never [happened] before or since.”
At KZLA Los Angeles, personality Shawn Parr told listeners before playing it for the first time that hearing “One More Day” had inspired him to shuffle his schedule and have lunch with his son. Country radio responded. So did syndicated adult contemporary host Delilah, who ultimately put it in rotation on her national show. “One More Day” swelled to No. 6 on the Billboard AC chart.
When 10 people associated with the Oklahoma State basketball team died in a plane crash near Boulder, Colo., on Jan. 27, 2001, KXXY Oklahoma City remixed the song – then positioned at No. 17 on Hot Country Songs – with audio related to the tragedy to pay tribute to the victims. Three weeks later, it was at No. 8 when NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt died during the Daytona 500. It got another remix with related audio, which Roe heard in the cab on the way from Earnhardt’s funeral on Feb. 22. “One More Day” subsequently surged to No. 1 on the March 10 list, then returned to the pole position on March 31. At that year’s Country Music Association Awards, video provided another cultural connection with images from 9/11 playing behind the band as it performed live. The group members, including drummer Brian Prout and bassist Dana Williams, couldn’t view the screen behind them, but they saw the emotional response in the artists on the front row, including Shania Twain and Tim McGraw.
They saw it in their concerts, too. People brought posters with the names of friends and family who died and placed them in the vacant seat next to them. The group sometimes struggled to get through “One More Day” on stage.
“For eight or 10 years after that song was out, I swear over half the audience was in tears,” Truman says. “I was so moved by that, I probably cried two or three dozen times while we played it, watching other people.”
Diamond Rio played it for a memorial again during a 2010 funeral in Mississippi for 11 workers who died in the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion.
BMI has since declared “One More Day” a standard. Tomberlin earned a greater appreciation for it when his mother died in 2020, and again when he lost his father in January. He decided to write I’ve Lived Country Music after that, and his understanding of the song’s significance grew.
“Writing this book, I’ve gone back, and I’ve read old emails and messages from people, and, of course, I still get them from people where the song has connected with them and helped them heal,” he says. “I’ve sung it at many memorials, but I don’t know that I realized how big of an impact the song has had on so many people.”
Diamond Rio certainly does. Fans have repeatedly shared their stories of grief and regret during meet and greets, and the members had to learn how to hear those stories, offer support, but not carry the weight of all that hurt with them. The group has seen first-hand reaction 25 more years since the release of “One More Day,” and they continue to appreciate the power that’s possible in music.
“You got to be careful what you record,” Williams says, “because these songs are a little bit more than just three minutes on the radio. It means something to people.”

Jennifer Lopez Couldn’t Be Happier About Bad Bunny Headlining Super Bowl Halftime Show: ‘He’s About to Blow Everybody’s Mind’
While guesting on Watch What Happens Liveon Wednesday (Oct. 15), J. Lo revealed whether she’s been tapped to join Benito on stage when he performs at the big game in 2026. According to her, “There’s no talk!”
“I have not gotten any calls!” she continued. “So I just want to put the expectation down.”
But would she be interested if he did reach out? “Of course if he wanted me to do something, I would definitely do it,” Lopez added.
The interview comes just a few weeks after it was announced that Bad Bunny is next year’s headliner, a decision that upset many conservatives — including President Donald Trump, who called it “absolutely ridiculous.” In protest of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation selecting a Spanish-speaking performer, Turning Point USA recently announced its intention to host an alternate halftime program, featuring “anything in English” by way of music choice.
Countless other people, however, have pointed out that there is nothing inherently political about choosing the Puerto Rican superstar to perform. Shaboozey recently pointed out that inviting Benito to perform could be incredibly beneficial to the NFL’s globalization efforts, telling Billboard, “He’s a global superstar, global icon — and an American citizen. There’s no better choice.”
Lopez also defended the selection of Bad Bunny as next year’s headliner on the Today show. “I think he’s about to blow everybody’s minds,” she said recently. “I don’t understand [the controversy]. He’s one of the top artists in the world right now, probably the top.”

Beatport, the global hub for DJs, producers, and electronic music fans, is stepping into the live events business with the launch of Beatport Tickets, a new platform aimed at the dance music community.
The move is powered by a strategic partnership with European ticketing firm Weeztix and marks the evolution of Beatport’s ecosystem beyond music discovery and streaming into real-world event access.
Launching today (Oct. 16), Beatport Tickets will allow labels, promoters, and venues in the U.K. and EU to sell tickets directly through Beatportal, the company’s editorial and nightlife platform. A U.S. rollout is planned in the coming months, along with the integration of event listings directly into the Beatport store. Beginning in 2026, live event listings will also appear on artist and label profiles, enabling fans to purchase tickets straight from their favorite Beatport pages.
Beatport first launched in 2004 as an online marketplace for DJs and music producers and was purchased by SFX in 2013 for a reported $50 million. Beatport was folded into LiveStyle in 2015 when SFX declared bankruptcy and is now owned by Axar Capital, the senior creditor of both SFX and the now-defunct LiveStyle.
“Beatport has always been the home for DJs and fans to connect with the music that drives dance culture,” says Helen Sartory, chief revenue officer at Beatport. “This year, we expanded into the live space, creating a dedicated Live & Interactive team who executed ambitious initiatives like The Block, giving emerging artists opportunities to perform at major festivals. With Beatport Tickets, we’re taking the next big step — bridging the gap between digital and live experiences, supporting promoters, helping artists expand their reach and giving fans a richer way to engage with dance music. Because without live music, there is no dance scene.”
Event organizers can now link playlists and tracks directly to their event pages on Beatportal, turning a ticket listing into an immersive preview of sound and scene. In 2026, that experience will go even deeper, as live event listings become fully integrated into Beatport’s artist and label pages, allowing fans to buy tickets straight from the profiles of the DJs and producers they follow.
The platform also promises reach, with events promoted across Beatport’s store, mobile app and editorial site — an ecosystem that collectively draws more than 40 million users each year. For promoters, it offers flexible tools to bundle tickets with add-ons like merchandise, accommodations, or digital tokens, while advanced analytics help labels and event producers make data-informed decisions about marketing and fan engagement.
Behind the scenes, an open API framework allows events to connect seamlessly with third-party apps and services, expanding customization options for organizers. Weeztix’s offers 24/7 customer service for both promoters and fans with help just a call or tap away.
Beatport’s entrance into ticketing reflects a larger trend across the live music business, where digital platforms like Spotify and tech platform Fever, which purchased Dice in June, are increasingly expanding into physical experiences and could help independent venues and promoters compete on a more level playing field.

New York has always worn its attitude on its sleeve and on its sneakers. From the stoops of Brooklyn to the runways of SoHo, fashion in the city isn’t just about what you wear, it’s about what you represent. It’s identity, legacy and rebellion stitched together. That same spirit drives the new adidas Originals x Avirex collaboration, a reimagined Superstar that bridges heritage and the next generation of New York energy. And at the center of it all is Joey Bada$$, the Brooklyn-born rapper, actor, and cultural voice who’s spent his career embodying what it means to move with authenticity.

To New Yorkers, clothing is more than fabric, it’s communication. The city’s fashion language was built on individuality: from uptown sneaker culture to downtown leather jackets, each borough carved its own chapter into global style. Joey Bada$$, who’s nearly 15 years deep into his career, has lived that narrative in real time.
“I think it represents alignment, especially in the spirit of NYC,” he says of the collaboration. “Here’s three brands that represent New York City culture in its most original, authentic forms. It’s a pleasure to be here as a quintessential New York representative with two strong brands that represent the city and everything it stands for.”
Both adidas and Avirex carry deep New York legacies — sneakers on the streets, leather jackets in the clubs. Their new partnership brings that shared DNA to life through a capsule featuring a premium Superstar sneaker, a limited-edition leather jacket, and a tee. The Superstar’s enlarged proportions, folded tongue, and signature Avirex branding pay homage to craftsmanship and street heritage while reintroducing an icon for a new era.
For Joey, it’s about evolution and timelessness: “When you’re talking about timeless art, the potential for evolution is endless,” he says. “The first time I seen the adidas Superstar was on Run-D.M.C., and here we are in 2025, 40 years later, still rocking the Superstar. The longevity’s already been proven.”

Avirex, founded in 1975, has long been a staple of New York identity. Its leather jackets became a cultural symbol in the ’90s and 2000s — worn by legends like Biggie and Dipset — representing pride, toughness, and self-expression. The brand’s rebirth in 2019 reconnected it to that same ethos, with a focus on craftsmanship and authenticity.
“It’s telling the story of longevity again,” Joey says of the new collection. “adidas and Avirex have such a long track record — at this point, it spans decades. Here we are in 2025, and we’re continuing to push it even further. It doesn’t feel out of place at all. It actually feels pretty aligned with the moment, especially with JBA involved.”
That alignment is what makes the collaboration feel so New York. Avirex’s revival is grounded in the same cultural energy that shaped Joey — a mix of creativity, grit, and individuality that continues to define the city today.

Joey’s connection to fashion has always been personal. “I usually don’t like the word fashion, ’cause I believe fashion is something you go to the store and purchase,” he says. “Whereas style is something naturally embedded in you. It doesn’t take a designer brand or anything like that. Style is more so a reflection of expression.”
That reflection is visible across every part of his world — whether he’s on stage, in front of a camera, or walking through Brooklyn. “My stylistic expression is definitely a form of storytelling,” he adds. “Those stories vary day to day. How I’m feeling today, or how I’m feeling in this era of my life, that’s what shapes it.”

2025 has been a defining year for Joey Bada$$. In August, he dropped Lonely at the Top, a project rooted in reflection, growth, and self-awareness, featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Westside Gunn, A$AP Ferg and more. He also reprised his fan-favorite role as Unique in Power Book III: Raising Kanan and became a father alongside fiancée Serayah.
Still, it’s Joey’s voice within the culture, particularly his willingness to defend the East Coast’s legacy, that’s kept him front and center. His surprise release of “The Ruler’s Back” on New Year’s Day sparked a coast-to-coast lyrical showdown that dominated the year’s rap conversations. Through it all, Joey has stayed true to his roots.
“The city is just so embedded in who I am,” he says. “Even if you take New York City away from me, it’ll forever be in my DNA, in my bloodstream. From the tempo to the motivation and the grit you get from being here, it’s who I am.”

In both his music and his style, Joey represents the same principle: authenticity with evolution. On Lonely at the Top, he raps about growth and perspective, themes that parallel the way he approaches fashion. “Through music, we express how we feel, and through style, what we wear, we express how we feel,” he says. “What I’m saying, the message I’m carrying, or even the sound I’m choosing to convey that message, it all inevitably aligns with my style.”
That natural synergy between music and fashion is something Joey sees as mutual, not hierarchical. “I think it’s like an ecosystem,” he says. “Both have influenced each other over time, and now they’re so blood-related that they feed off each other. It’s like the chicken or the egg — they just coexist and manifest in real time.”
As someone who moves between the studio, the screen, and fashion campaigns, Joey doesn’t see authenticity as something he has to balance. “At this point, it’s second nature,” he says. “adidas and Avirex — that’s full alignment. That’s authentic right there. Once I show up, everything’s in sync. I’d wear it anyway.”

New York City remains the creative pulse of Joey’s art — and the foundation for this collaboration. It’s where music, fashion, and self-expression collide. “There’s so much creativity that comes out of New York,” he says. “It’s free, diverse, and always moving forward.”
That sense of freedom defines both his artistic journey and the new adidas x Avirex capsule. Each piece — from the leather jacket to the Superstar — reflects the city’s legacy of resilience and individuality.
“In 2025, everything is happening all at once,” Joey says. “Fashion is at the same place we’re at with music. There’s all this genre-bending — it’s healthy because people are just expressing who they are and what feels authentic, instead of staying confined to a certain trend.”
From his lyrics to his wardrobe, Joey Bada$$ continues to carry the soul of Brooklyn into everything he touches. Just like the adidas Superstar and Avirex’s iconic jackets, his story is one of endurance, originality, and rebirth — proof that New York’s energy isn’t just alive, it’s evolving.
So, is it a Flex, Trade, or Fade? For me, this one’s a Flex — no doubt about it. This collection is a love letter to New York City style, something that’s been a part of me since day one. Growing up in NYC, I’ve always seen an Avirex jacket as more than just outerwear, it’s a staple, a status symbol, and a reflection of how deeply fashion and identity intertwine here. Joey and adidas capturing that energy? That’s New York through and through.
But what about you — is the adidas x Avirex collab a Flex, Trade, or Fade in your book?

When Taylor Swift floats down the aisle like a pageant queen, Vera Wang thinks the pop star will be wearing just one of several dresses the singer will sport during her wedding to Travis Kelce.

While speaking to E! News at the DKMS 19th Annual Gala on Tuesday (Oct. 14), the famed bridal designer shared her prediction for Swift’s wedding-day attire. “I don’t think there’ll be just one [dress],” Wang told the outlet. “But that’d be my guess.”
Wang wasn’t the only notable wedding designer who weighed in. Christian Siriano also told E!, “Taylor, I think, will be in lace of some sort.”
Only time will tell what Swift ends up wearing on her big day. She and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end just got engaged in August, announcing the news on Instagram with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
If the 14-time Grammy winner does end up wearing multiple gowns, however, she’ll be following a celebrity trend. In her bestie Selena Gomez’s wedding photos, the Rare Beauty founder appeared to wear a number of white dresses for her nuptials to Benny Blanco in September.
Though Swift has played coy as to when her wedding to Kelce will take place, the musician has said that she already knows their guest list will be quite long, telling Graham Norton earlier in October, “I think it will be fun to plan.”
She also recently revealed which of her musician friends will almost definitely want to perform at the affair. “It would be hard to keep him from it, I think,” she told U.K.’s Hits Radio Breakfast Show of pal Ed Sheeran. “It’s like, Ed, if there’s a stage, you know that you’ll be on it. He knows what people want, and he wants to give people what they want. That’s the fun thing about our friendship is we both love performing, we love writing and we love singing.”
