In the 40-second clip, lovers of the Broadway musical’s soundtrack are treated to a snippet of the two witches’ high-energy performance of “What Is This Feeling?,” a number that appears in the first of Jon M. Chu’s two Wicked films. Backlit by green and pink bulbs, Grande and Erivo go toe to toe with their impressive live vocals while recreating some of the movie’s choreography, singing, “And I will be loathing for forever/ Loathing truly deeply/ Loathing you.”
At the end, the R.E.M. Beauty founder shakes things up by delivering a sassy, “Alright, I get it!” in response to the Erivo shouting, “Boo!,” making the Tony winner laugh.
Premiering Thursday (Nov. 6) on NBC and Peacock, Wicked: One Wonderful Night will mark the first time fans get to watch Grande and Erivo perform “What Is This Feeling?” and several other Wicked classics live. Featuring glamorous costumes and dance routines, the two-hour spectacle is one of the biggest events the team has planned for the Wicked: For Good promo cycle ahead of the sequel’s theatrical premiere on Nov. 21.
In a recent interview with Evan Ross Katz, Grande explained that the idea behind the concert special was to make the promotion of the final film in the duology “more about the fans this time.”
Watch the new sneak peek for the Wicked concert special above.

When scrolling through TikTok following the onsale of Chappell Roan’s Visions of Damsels & Other Dangers Things tour dates, Foundations Artists Management’s Lauren McKinney noticed something interesting: In a stark contrast to most fans of major artists in 2025, the reviews were overwhelmingly positive.
McKinney and Roan’s team at Foundations scrolled the social media site to find “fans being excited they got tickets, and saying how calm the process was and how nice it was that they weren’t having to battle other fans,” McKinney told the audience at Billboard’s 2025 Live Music Summit in Los Angeles on Monday (Nov. 3) during a panel titled “No Bots Allowed: Inside Chappell Roan’s Fan-First Ticketing Strategy.” She added, “Our team was just so happy with that.”

Wasserman Music Nashville’s Kristen Mitchell echoed McKinney’s excitement about the results of the ticketing strategy that they, along with AXS ticketing, implemented to ensure tickets for Roan’s nine-show summer run made it into the hands of fans instead of resellers. “I was obsessively reloading the AXS mobile reporting app, and I saw that at the Kansas City show, it was a 97% check-in. So, there was very little attrition. That’s incredible,” said Mitchell.
In 2025, concerts across the country are seeing higher-than-normal attrition rates (where far fewer fans show up to shows than the number of tickets sold) because many tickets are purchased during onsale and immediately placed on the secondary market for double or triple the face value. When fans are unable or unwilling to pay those exorbitant prices, those seats are left empty at the venues.
When tickets went on sale for Roan’s stadium dates, she and her team knew the demand for tickets would far outweigh the demand, so they turned to Fair AXS for a slower approach to selling tickets.
As Billboard reported in the 2025 touring issue, Roan’s fans signed up over a three-day period, after which AXS used a proprietary system to verify that each registrant was a real person, including those who had purchased Roan tickets in the past. AXS then delivered a list of registrants who met the criteria to her agents at Wasserman. The AXS team subsequently released a batch of ticket-purchasing invitations to fans across 24 hours. Based on the ratio of those fans who actually purchased the tickets, they subsequently released a second batch the following day, and a third the day after that.
“It requires a lot of trust in the fan to be patient in that process and know that they will have to sign up, wait a week, maybe receive an email,” McKinney said during the panel. “Overall, we learned that people are willing to be patient and willing to jump through some additional steps, if they can feel like the end result is equitable and that it’s a fair process all.”
AXS head of North American venues Dean Dewulf added that with Fair AXS, “we’re essentially deconstructing [the onsale] process.”
“We essentially are having a unlimited registration window where everybody can register. And what’s really important about that is that fans have two to four days, depending on the configuration of the program, to register when it’s convenient for them,” Dewulf explained on the panel, moderated by Billboard’s touring director Dave Brooks. “Once the registration ends, then we run it through our process to essentially hand pick and invite specific fans to buy the tickets.”
The process is a lot more intensive than a typical onsale and requires a lot more human power. As Mitchell joked, “AXS was not sleeping.”
“This was such a great passion project for a lot of the folks that worked on this,” said Dewulf on the panel. “We loved every minute. Honestly, this is why I got into the business. I don’t know about any of you, but getting tickets in the hands of real fans is really cool.”
When asked about how they deal with tickets that do end up on the secondary market, Mitchell said Wasserman has worked with AXS to combat the high prices by fighting fire with fire.
“AXS has something called AXS Distro, which actually allows you to — it sounds counterintuitive — but you’re feeding tickets to the secondary market. But you’re undercutting the pricing,” Mitchell said. “So, what happens when you undercut the pricing is people aren’t purchasing those higher price tickets.”
“I don’t know that that exists across other platforms, but I personally think that might be the future of what we’re looking at in ticketing,” Mitchelle continued. “I’m not saying that we want scalping, but it’s going to be there no matter what. So, it’s really on us as an industry to figure out how we’re dealing with that, and, in some cases, competing with it.”

The exciting news comes after the pop star and music producer exchanged vows during an intimate ceremony on Oct. 4 at New York City’s Chelsea Hotel. The wedding was attended by about 100 guests in the iconic building’s Bard Room, according to Vogue.
“We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York,” Jepsen told the publication. “As artists, its iconic history and lore made it that much more appealing. For planning, we had weekly dates to talk out all the details of the wedding. This way it was only ever fun and not too much at once.”
The wedding celebration reportedly featured a surprise performance by Rufus Wainwright, who sang an a cappella rendition of Leonard Cohen’s 1974 song “Chelsea Hotel #2.” Her posts also included black-and-white snapshots from inside the Hotel and photos in front of New York’s Broni & Belle Pizzeria.
Jepsen previously announced her engagement to Cole M.G.N. in September 2024 through Instagram. She shared photos of the couple hugging outdoors and showing off a beautiful engagement ring. “Very engaged over here,” she wrote.

2025 will be a year marked by a moment that went viral on the internet: that of a musician who swept the streets in the early mornings in Mexico City and who, with a video on TikTok, managed to connect with millions through an uplifting song, “Sueña lindo,” and his personal story. Now, just a few months later, Macario Martínez presents his new album, If Tomorrow I’m No Longer Here, while preparing for his first concert at the Lunario of the National Auditorium on November 15.
Released on October 24 under Morrxs Tristes — two weeks after his performance on NPR‘s Tiny Desk — Si Mañana Ya No Estoy comes from a process that began several years ago, in which Martínez sought to represent the idea of fear of the future evoked by the title through the lyrics of his songs.
“I was trying to record it with many friends in various places, but in the end, it didn’t work,” Macario tells Billboard in a Zoom interview. “And then, at the end of 2022, I arrived at the Casa del Árbol studio, which is also where I was able to record ‘Sueña lindo’ and ‘Nuestra casa en el mar.’ I became very good friends with [the musicians] there, and in fact, they are currently the members of my band. Together we were able to really develop that idea.” Macario also highlights how important it has been for him to continue being accompanied by the same musicians and how, emotionally, they have been fundamental in this stage of his career.
The 11-track album — a flawless fusion of huapango-folk-rock — creates a sort of internal journey through memory, touching on human anguish in the songs “Estaba lejos” and “Otra vez.” It also invites reflection on the complexities of existence in the track “Si te mentí.”
Martínez has ingrained the sounds he heard when he lived for a time in Veracruz with his dad. There he got to know the jaranas (a string instrument mainly used in the jarocho style): “I try to blend both traditional sounds and the sounds of bands like Beach House or alternative rock sounds. I think the sound of my album is the sound I always wanted to have.”
Below, Macario Martínez breaks down five essential songs from Si Mañana Ya No Estoy. Listen to the full album here.

We’re currently focused on next year’s Super Bowl halftime show headliner, but the 2024 master of ceremonies is still at the center of the culture.
After the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays at the 2025 World Series on Saturday (Nov. 1), the City of Angeles reached for the only appropriate song for moments of total victory: Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.” The baseball team’s official Instagram account shared a flick of the whole gang with the all-caps caption, “They still not like us,” a reference to both Lamar’s Grammy-winning Hot 100 chart-topper and their 2024 World Series triumph.
As is seemingly the order of things these days, when K.Dot gets some praise, a jab at Drake isn’t too far behind. To commemorate the Dodgers’ consecutive victories, the official ESPN X account posted a picture of the celebrating team in the style of Drake’s “Back to Back” single cover. Notably, this is a nod to a separate Drake beef — the Toronto MC’s 2015 back-and-forth with Meek Mill. Not only did Drizzy take an L by way of the Blue Jays’ loss, he also got slammed in a new lawsuit against Spotify, which alleged that the streamer used bots to generate “billions of fraudulent streams.”
Drake isn’t the only rapper whose beefs made headlines in the hip-hop world over the weekend. On Thursday (Oct. 30), NLE Choppa (who’s currently going by NLE the Great) shared his new “KO” single, which finds him rapping over the same Dennis Edwards “Don’t Look Any Further” sample that 2Pac flipped for “Hit Em Up,” his iconic Biggie diss track. The subject of NLE’s ire? None other than NBA YoungBoy, one of the few rappers with a song sitting just outside the Hot 100’s top 40, a news story that sent the hip-hop space into a tizzy last week.
On Wednesday (Oct. 29), Billboardreported that, for the first time since 1990, there were no rap songs in the Billboard Hot 100‘s top 40, after Kendrick Lamar and SZA‘s smash hit “Luther” was deemed recurrent and removed from the ranking due to recent changes to the chart’s methodology. Though those rule changes mostly explain what’s going on with hip-hop on the Hot 100, the shocking stat spurred heated debate across social media channels. Grammy-nominated producer The Alchemist chimed in on X, simply writing, “No rap in top 40 has nothing to do with the music being bad or good.” Click here for a full breakdown of the Hot 100’s new recurrent rules.

Beis and Rare Beauty’s latest collaboration is here, and it’s selling out fast.
Launched Monday (Nov. 3), the collection, backed by Selena Gomez and Shay Mitchell of Pretty Little Liars fame, included three makeup accessories — a cosmetic pouch, blush case and a makeup brush pouch — all in a special peachy shade called “Worth,” inspired by Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush of the same name. While the cosmetic pouch and blush case have sold out, you can still get your hands on the limited-edition makeup brush pouch for $24 on Beis’ website.

The interior is also a breeze to clean because it’s a mix of 100% polyester, 100% PVC and 100% nylon mesh. Simply wipe away any and all makeup messes with a rag and water. The case also easily stands on its own, giving users a more accessible look at all of their brushes without having to dig through.
While you’re at it, why not shop the shade that started it all? Rare Beauty’s Worth Soft Pinch Liquid Blush is currently available to shop at Sephora, retailing for $25. The blush is a liquid formula that packs a punch, applied with an XL doefoot applicator. The specific shade is a deep rosy tone that would work universally with a bunch of different skin tones.
The product is also designed with features like soft-touch finishes and easy-to-open caps, prioritizing ease of use for people with limited dexterity, making it super accessible across the board. Simply dab onto the high points of the face and blend in with a beauty sponge or a Rare Beauty brush for that “just been kissed” airbrushed flush every time.

UPDATE (Nov. 3): The Second Circuit Court of Appeals granted Combs’ unopposed motion to expedite his appeal on Monday (Nov. 3). Combs’ first appellate brief is due next month, and arguments are tentatively on track for April.
PREVIOUSLY: Sean “Diddy” Combs is trying to expedite his criminal appeal, saying he could be close to getting out of prison by the time his case is heard if forced to follow the typical, drawn-out argument timeline.
Combs is challenging both his July conviction and the resulting four-year prison sentence for arranging the drug-fueled sex marathons, known as “freak-offs,” between his girlfriends and male escorts. Jurors found Combs guilty of illegal prostitution, but they acquitted him of more serious racketeering and sex-trafficking charges.

As is the case in much of the court system, appellate procedure is usually slow. In the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, where Combs’ case will be heard, it takes nearly a year and a half on average to get a criminal appeal decided.
Combs’ lawyers don’t want to wait that long. They say in a Wednesday (Oct. 29) court filing that he could complete most of his prison sentence during the typical appeal timeline; Combs is getting credit for the year he’s already spent in jail, plus the sentence could be further trimmed down for good behavior or participation in a drug abuse rehab program.
“An expedited briefing and argument schedule is critical to ensure that Mr. Combs’s appeal of his sentence does not become moot while the appeal is pending,” writes his attorney, Alexandra Shapiro. “To ensure that Mr. Combs could meaningfully benefit from any appellate ruling vacating his sentence, we have proposed a schedule that would expedite this court’s consideration of Mr. Combs’s appeal.”
Shapiro suggests that the lawyers submit all their legal briefs by March and deliver oral arguments in April — that is, she wants the case heard just six months after Combs’ notice of appeal last week.

White House Denies Report Trump Is Considering Commuting Diddy’s Sentence: ‘Fake News’
Wednesday’s court filing says prosecutors have consented to this expedited briefing schedule. This means it’s likely to get approved, absent scheduling conflicts from the Second Circuit.
A rep for the prosecution did not immediately return a request for comment. Shapiro said in a statement to Billboard, “Sean’s appeal will challenge the unfair use of the Mann Act, an infamous statute with a sordid history, to prosecute him for sex with consenting adults.”
The Mann Act, which makes it illegal to transport people across state lines for prostitution, indeed has an ugly past. Originally called the White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910, it has its roots in a government campaign to criminalize interracial relationships. Combs’ legal team said from the beginning of the case that Mann Act prostitution counts were improperly tacked onto his sex-trafficking indictment, and this argument has taken center stage since Combs defeated the heftier charges at trial.

BTS’ V is can now add global ambassador to his lengthy list of achievements.
Beyond being a chart-topping artist with hits such as “Butter” and “Dynamite,” the K-pop sensation just received the savvy title from South Korean cosmetics brand TirTir, a brand hallowed for its commitment to diversity in the Asian beauty scene. V, otherwise known as Taehyung, serves as the brand’s first global ambassador.
On Oct. 28, TirTir dropped a teaser image to Instagram of V’s face eclipsed with a focus on the brand’s Mask Fit Red Cushion, a viral product that has garnered TirTir a ton of buzz because of its extensive shade range — 40 shades total — and seamless, blendable coverage. The wide shade range is almost unheard of, especially for South Korean cushion products, giving accessibility to those who couldn’t use cushion foundations before. The foundation, along with all of TirTir’s products, is available to shop at Ulta Beauty and Amazon.
It was later revealed in other Instagram posts that this “new era” for the brand would be spearheaded by the beloved BTS member, and the fans are loving it. A spokesperson for the brand stated in a press release, “V’s expressiveness and sensibility align closely with TirTir’s direction of ‘individuality and diversity.’ We expect that his influence will allow the brand to connect more deeply with consumers around the world.”
V and BTS are major draws, creating buzz wherever they go. This move from TirTir will expose the brand to an all-new global audience, one that is eager to emulate their fave by shopping products backed by him. The cosmetics brand is owned by Goodai Global, the parent company of other hit South Korean cosmetics brands such as Beauty of Joseon and Round Lab. TirTir was founded in 2016. While the brand’s cushion foundation was the viral winner in 2025, its other product deserves just as much love. We’ve compiled a few of our favorites for you to shop below.
Milky toners have become all the rage in 2025. First, it was Rhode’s Glazing Milk, and then it was Ilia’s The Base Face Milk Essence. Now, TirTir is throwing its proverbial hat in the milky toner ring with its Milk Skin Toner, and it’s just as good as both aforementioned toners. The best part? It’s also the most affordable milky toner we’ve seen on the market yet.
Retailing for $25, the toner is your one stop shop for helping achieve flawless skin thanks to ingredients such as panthenol and ceramide, used to protect and strengthen the skin barrier to maintain hydration. Niacinamide and pro-vitamin B5 also come in clutch to gently brighten the skin, creating an all-over even tone, great for those with constant redness. While regular toners are used to wipe away any dirt, oil or excess makeup, milky toners often come formulated with ingredients that hydrate rather than strip the skin.
Is your skin in distress? TirTir’s SOS Serum is here to help. Retailing for $25, the product features a water-based formula and is utilized to combat dry and dull skin. Youthful skin is all about radiance and elasticity. As we age, that elasticity and radiance wane, leading to wrinkles. This serum is jam-packed with ingredients such as polyglutamic acid that lock in moisture along with adenosine, a naturally occurring nucleoside that may help improve your skin’s elasticity, potentially reducing wrinkles. To use, we’d recommend applying a generous amount post toner, locking in moisture to help give your skin a plump and glossy finish.
Sun protection is non-negotiable. If you aren’t applying sunscreen daily, you run the risk of developing sunspots, aging your face and/or skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to find a sunscreen that fits nicely into your daily routine with a substantial SPF.
TirTir Hydro UV Shield Sunscreen aims to do all that and more. Retailing for $18, the sunscreen boasts SPF 50+, offering a broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. It also leaves no dreaded white cast, blending into the skin like any moisturizer. Speaking of moisturizer, this sunscreen is also hydrating thanks to three types of hyaluronic acid found in the formula.
TirTir’s Waterism Glow Tint has 30 shades to choose from, all for just $8. The water-based formula gives the tint a non-sticky weightless feel that stains the lips for up to 12 hours. The finish is soft and wearable, unlike traditional liquid lips. Plus, the extensive shade range gives prospective buyers plenty of opportunity to find their perfect shade.
