Reneé Rapp’s Bite Me Tour Rocks New York City’s Madison Square Garden: 5 Best Moments

At just 25 years old, Reneé Rapp boasts a box office-topping movie (Mean Girls), a hit TV show (HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls) and a No. 1 album (2025’s Bite Me debuted atop Album Sales). On Monday night (Sept. 29), the vocal powerhouse added another notch to her belt: her first headlining show at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden.

Launched in support of Bite Me, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and housed popular tracks like lead single “Leave Me Alone” and “I Think I Like You Better When You’re Gone,” Rapp’s latest trek kicked off on Sept. 23 at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Across two hours of roof-raising vocal performances, Rapp treated the packed arena to the entirety of Bite Me and a few tracks from her debut album, Snow Angel, as well as its preceding EP, Everything to Everyone.

The title track of the latter project served as Rapp’s intro Monday night. After a video interlude in which Rapp played several different versions of herself (masc Reneé, pop star Reneé, everyday Reneé, etc.) to highlight the different roles she’s expected to play in her personal and professional lives, she softy sang “Everything to Everyone” before properly kicking the show off with the deliciously riotous “Leave Me Alone.”

With no backup singers or dancers, Rapp made excellent use of her stage, which was comprised of a black-and-white checkered floor, a star-shaped platform lit up with pink lights, and a lift that she mounted on two separate occasions. From her dramatic smoky eye makeup and silver-and-black outfit to her emphasis on her live band, Rapp nailed her singular amalgamation of glam rock and punk pop aesthetics. Interestingly, she also tempered that style with nods to her theater background, from the red curtains that framed the stage to her penchant for video interludes that use her acting chops to further the show’s narrative of leaning into her pop stardom in earnest. Some of that tension even made its way to the setlist, with Rapp cutting short “Not My Fault,” her Mean Girls soundtrack single, in favor of “At Least I’m Hot,” a similarly disco-tinged number from Bite Me.

From Beyoncé covers to an incredibly emotional performance of her debut single “In the Kitchen,” Rapp had several standout moments during her MSG show. Nonetheless, few moments compared to her giving each member of her terffici band — Tim Ramsey (bass), Josh Porter (guitar), Terrence Vaughn (keys), Ari O’Neal (guitar) and Josh Foster (drums) — time for their individual bows, complete with their names lighting up the big screen.

Here are the five best moments of Reneé Rapp’s Bite Me Tour at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

Tom Holland Adorably Corrects Journalist Who Calls Zendaya His ‘Girlfriend’

That’s “fiancée” to you. In a clip that’s been circulating online, Tom Holland couldn’t help but interrupt a reporter who mistakenly referred to Zendaya — to whom he got engaged earlier this year — as his “girlfriend.”

The video on X shows Holland on stage at a press event. One reporter tells him, “I brought my daughter, and she got to meet your girlfriend.”

In response, the Marvel star just laughs. As the reporter continues speaking, though, Holland then interjects with a quick correction.

“Fiancée,” he says matter-of-factly.

The moment marked a rare instance of Holland addressing his engagement to the Euphoria actress, who first sparked proposal rumors when she attended the 2025 Golden Globes with a giant diamond on her ring finger in January. Her Spider-Man love interest reportedly popped the question over the holidays this past year.

But while Holland and Zendaya have largely kept details of their engagement and wedding plans private, the actor isn’t shy about sharing his affection for the Emmy winner. In August, he recalled how he and his costar-turned-partner surprised each other on Lip Sync Battle back in 2017.

“It’s so funny, Zendaya and I, we were chatting at the time about what we were gonna do, and we had agreed that we would take it easy,” he told Goldon Ramsay of his viral performance on the series, which he says spiraled into him being “like, ‘F–k it, I wanna wear fishnets and do this, and I want a wig and a quick change’” despite his promise to Z.

Earlier this year, Holland explained why he doesn’t attend red carpets with his fiancée. “It’s not my moment, it’s her moment, and if we go together, it’s about us,” he told Men’s Health in January.

Melanie Martinez Just Dropped a Collection of $30 Body Sprays – Get Them Before They’re Gone for Good

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Following the overwhelming response to re-launching her Cry Baby perfume, Melanie Martinez has dropped a new line of body sprays all for $30.

The “Cake” singer dropped a total of 13 body sprays under her line Portals Parfums, each with names meant to pay homage to tracks from Melanie Martinez’s third album, Portals. The collection just dropped today, Sept. 30, and is available to shop now at Portals Parfums’ website.

Toting whimsical and weird names like Womb, Death, Void, Light Shower and Faerie Soirée, these fragrances are 6 fl. oz and feature notes meant to mirror the same scents of the brand’s collection of hard-to-get Egg Candles that also went quite viral upon their release back in 2024. The virality of Martinez’s scented products in the past means it’s likely these body sprays will go just as quickly. You’ll want to get your hands on these before they’re gone for good.

A strawberry and vanilla-scented body spray.

With just one spritz, users are transported to vivid worlds that are translated through unique notes like milk, strawberry, wood, caramel, yuzu and black tea. If the unique scents don’t intrigue you, the price tag on these body sprays sure will. They’re exceedingly affordable, especially when compared to other high-end fragrances. With so much to choose from, you’re bound to find something that you vibe with. If you’re a fan of Martinez and new to the perfume game, we’ve got you covered. We’re breaking down a few of our favorite scents from the collection, giving you the downlow on everything you need to know before adding one, or all 13, body sprays to your cart.

Just a note for those curious. Body sprays are going to be less strong than your average perfume. The staying power is around two to four hours, meaning you’ll likely have to reapply often. For these body sprays, we’d recommend layering up alongside perfumes that have similar notes, creating a multilayered experience that lasts you longer. That way once the body spray wears off, you’ll still have scent left over.

First up, we’ve picked Womb, an orange flower and milk-scented spray in a milky bottle with a peachy pink cap. Yes, you heard that right, the top note is milk. This lends the scent a creamy and slightly powdery undertone while the orange flower is traditionally floral and sweet with hints of citrus. This spray is for those who prefer their scents on the sweeter and softer side. In a similar vein, we’ve picked Faerie Soirée, a body spray with a fuchsia cap. This is also another sweeter fragrance with notes like strawberry and vanilla. It’s one of the sweetest scented body sprays in this collection, and one we think would suit Martinez’s younger audience.

A palo santo and white sage-scented body spray.

Void and Death are deeper, more mature scents—as the almost sinister names suggest. Death features a bright blue cap and is a Palo Santo and white sage-scented spray. Palo santo is sweet and woody and is often likened to licorice. Sage is complementary with its earthy and herbaceous notes, giving the body spray depth. Both notes combine to smell like an old church—in a good way, of course. Void is scented like smoky pine and wood, akin to a campfire in a pine tree forest. Both are more sophisticated scents that we can see Martinez’s older fans loving.

Finally, we’ve got Leeches, a body spray scented like black tea and amber with a burgundy cap. Black tea usually smells earthy, malty and sometimes sweet or floral, while amber smells spicy, resinous and musky. The resulting fragrance, accompanied by hits of honey and bright ginger, comes together to make it smell like you’ve just sat down for a relaxing cup of tea.

On Tuesday (Sept. 30), Smith and Another Planet Entertainment announced the singer’s upcoming eight show residency at the Castro. Titled “To Be Free: San Francisco,” the new set of dates for Smith will kick off on Feb. 10 at the iconic venue, with the residency wrapping on Feb. 21. Tickets for the upcoming shows go on sale Oct. 7 on Smith’s website.

“I LOVE San Francisco and The Castro especially has been so central to the Queer community here over the years,” Smith wrote in a statement shared alongside the news. “These shows will also celebrate the official reopening, so it’s truly an honour to become part of this iconic venue’s history.”

To celebrate the news, Smith also shared an acoustic cover of Bill Withers’ 1971 hit song “Ain’t No Sunshine,” along with an accompanying video filmed at the Castro and its surrounding neighborhood. The clip ends with Smith leading a crowd of onlookers to the theater, where they step inside and begin giving out tickets to their new show.

The new set of shows comes on the heels of Smith’s forthcoming New York residency, which will see the singer taking over Brooklyn’s Warsaw for a whopping 24 dates beginning on Wednesday, Oct. 8 and lasting through to Dec. 13. Both of the new residencies are named after Smith’s latest song “To Be Free,” which saw them return to their signature adult contemporary sound.

Chris Brown Hits New Career Heights at No. 1 on Monthly Boxscore Report

Until now, only three artists hit No. 1 on Billboard’s monthly Top Tours chart throughout 2025. Coldplay ruled in January and April. In between, Shakira led for February and March. Before summer officially hit, Beyoncé kicked off the season with a rare three-peat, ruling over May, June and July. But as the August recap rolls out, a new name sits atop the chart: Chris Brown has the highest-grossing and best-selling tour of August.

According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Brown’s 14 shows in August grossed $96.8 million and sold 590,000 tickets. That’s enough for his first month at No. 1. His only prior top 10 appearances were back-to-back showings at No. 8 last summer while on The 11:11 Tour.

What caused Brown’s sudden spike to the top? His 2025 tour, Breezy Bowl XX, elevated the R&B superstar from arenas to baseball stadiums, tripling the sellable capacity for each of his shows.

But his August gross is still a massive improvement upon his stadium performance in June on the European leg of this tour, when he ranked at No. 12. Brown, like most other R&B and hip hop acts, is a much bigger draw stateside than internationally. Plus, ticket prices are much more elastic for domestic shows, regardless of genre. And compared to 11 shows in Europe in June, he played 14 in the U.S. and Canada in August, maximizing his total reach to nearly 600,000 fans.

Not only is this a new peak for Brown himself, he enters rare space for R&B acts. He is only the second such artist to crown Top Tours, following seven wins for Beyoncé, spread between 2023 and 2025. But three of Queen Bey’s victories were for this year’s Cowboy Carter Tour, which notably became the highest-grossing country tour in Boxscore history when it wrapped earlier this summer. That makes Breezy Bowl XX the first R&B tour to conquer the list since the Renaissance World Tour in September 2023.

The highlight of Brown’s August was a double-header at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., with $15 million and 107,000 tickets on Aug. 12-13. Stops in Detroit, Toronto and Atlanta also pulled eight-figure grosses with two shows apiece. Those four cities landed him at Nos. 9-11 and 14 on Top Boxscores.

Breezy Bowl XX is head-and-shoulders Brown’s biggest tour yet. Through Sept. 27, the tour has brought in $241.4 million and sold 1.7 million tickets. That marks a 193% increase over the gross of The 11:11 Tour ($82.3 million) and a 270% jump over its attendance (446,000).

Still, Brown has more gas in the tank. Breezy Bowl XX has seven more shows scheduled before wrapping in Memphis, Tenn. on Oct. 18. Based of the $7 million per-show average in North America, he should add another $45-50 million in the next three weeks. At $457 million in career grosses, he could cross the half-billion mark.

Three acts follow closely in both grosses and attendance. Coldplay is No. 2 on Top Tours, while The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran bunch up at Nos. 3-4, respectively. All three acts wrapped their 2025 schedules in the first week of September, potentially clearing space at the top of the chart for next month’s recap.

Coldplay grossed $85.4 million in August, largely from its marathon run at London’s Wembley Stadium. The first six shows fell during August, landing at No. 1 on Top Boxscores. The final four shows have yet to be reported and will impact the September listing. The Music of the Spheres World Tour is the best-selling trek in history, at 12.8 million tickets through Aug. 31, with more dates teased in 2027.

August marks The Weeknd’s fourth consecutive month in the top 10, after hitting No. 2 in June and July. The After Hours Til Dawn Tour is the biggest R&B tour ever, with more dates announced for 2026.

Sheeran rounds out the upper echelon with $75 million and 583,000 tickets. In early September, he wrapped The Mathematics Tour after playing stadiums around the world since 2022. His previous tour, The Divide Tour became the biggest tour of all time when it wrapped in 2019, but this one outgrossed it by nearly $100 million, finishing with $875.7 million.

August was a major month for music festivals. The Top Boxscores tally is dotted by three weekend events, each in a different country. San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival is No. 2, with $41.4 million from Aug. 8-10. Laois, Ireland’s Electric Picnic Festival is next at No. 6, earning $18.2 million from an audience of 57,800 on August 29-31. Finally, Montreal’s Osheaga Music & Arts Festival is No. 13 with $14.6 million from the first weekend of the month.

Outside Lands took place at San Fran’s Golden Gate Park, which is the month’s top-grossing venue. Just beneath the festival on Top Boxscores is the venue’s weekend with Dead & Company is No. 3, adding $38.3 million and 167,000 tickets (Aug. 1-3). Together, these events combined for $89.6 million and 426,000 tickets.

Wembley Stadium is next ($78.9 million) for its Coldplay shows, followed by Las Vegas’ Sphere (No. 1 on Top Venues [15,001+ capacity]), Toronto’s Rogers Centre, and Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros, each of which grossed more than $30 million.

Louis Tomlinson Sets Third Solo Album for January 2026: Hear Lead Single ‘Lemonade’

Louis Tomlinson will kick off next year with his third solo album, as How Did I Get Here? will be released on Jan. 23, 2026, the One Direction star announced on Tuesday (Sept. 30). The upcoming full-length’s lead single, “Lemonade,” also debuted on Tuesday as the ‘Hottest Record’ on BBC Radio 1 before hitting streaming services.

“I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make,” Tomlinson says of his upcoming album in a press release. “My bread and butter is my honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music. I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”

After One Direction announced its hiatus in 2015, Tomlinson released a pair of solo albums, 2020’s Walls and 2022’s Faith in the Future, which both made the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. For his third album, Tomlinson once again teamed up with producer Nico Rebscher (Aurora, Zoe Wees), and traveled to Santa Teresa in Costa Rica for inspiration in early 2025.

The release of “Lemonade” precedes Away From Home, the annual festival curated by Tomlinson that will be held in the U.S. for the first time this weekend. The independent fest will head to Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y. on Oct. 4 and 5, and feature headlining performances by Tomlinson and Lauv, along with sets by Plain White T’s, Daya, Pale Waves and “special guest” Steve Aoki (who worked with Tomlinson on the 2016 collaboration “Just Hold On”), among others.

“I’m so excited to be bringing Away From Home to the U.S., and for the first time, a two-day festival!” Tomlinson says. “Really honored and grateful to have such a strong lineup over both days, got a few things up my sleeve too. Can’t wait to see you all there, it’s going to be special!”

Lola Young Announces She’s ‘Going Away for a While’ to ‘Work on Myself’ After Collapsing On Stage

Lola Young has decided to step away from music for a while after collapsing on stage at All Things Go Festival on Saturday (Sept. 27).

In a message posted to her Instagram on Tuesday (Sept. 30), the rising English pop star informed fans that she will not be able to fulfill any of her upcoming commitments as she needs to take some time off for herself. “I’m going away for a while,” she wrote. “It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future.”

“Thank you for all the love and support,” Young continued. “I’m so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me, it hurts me more than you know.”

The update comes three days after the “Messy” singer appeared to pass out on stage at the New York City iteration of All Things Go Festival. Afterwards, Young simply thanked fans for their concern and wrote, “I am doing okay now.”

Before her collapse, the musician had been telling fans at her set about how she’s been going through a tough time. The day prior, she’d pulled out last minute from her slot at Audacy’s We Can Survive concert at New Jersey’s Prudential Center, with her manager citing a “sensitive matter” related to mental health at the time.

Shortly after her collapse, Young — whose new album I’m Only F–king Myself dropped less than two weeks ago — pulled out of the All Things Go Festival in Washington, D.C. “I love this job, and I never take my commitments and audience for granted,” she told fans on Instagram when announcing the news. “I hope you’ll all give me another chance in the future.”

In her post about stepping back from all of her upcoming appearances, Young echoed that sentiment. “I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger,” she closed out her message.

The Best Sneakers For Fall Are Animal-Printed & They’re Available at Adidas Right Now

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Some things in life just go together, no questions asked.

For example, peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, apples and oranges, a burger and fries and dogs and cats. The list could go on and on and on. Our favorite pairing? Fall and animal print, obviously. The combo is a classic one that we’ve seen time and time again, serving as a constant despite the ever-changing trend cycle. We’re not the only ones who think this combo is elite. Adidas does too.

The brand’s women’s SL 72 sneaker offerings are chock full of animal-printed options that just scream fall, from sleek leopard printed models to shiny snakeskin options that we’re kind of obsessed with. Unlike your standard fall booties, we’d argue sneakers, like the SL 72, are a more comfortable option with a wider range of more playful options, a la snake and leopard print. If you didn’t know, the SL 72 OG sneaker is heavily inspired by the archival ’72 running model Adidas dropped in, you guessed it, 1972. The sneaker revolutionized the industry with its lightweight build, hence the SL, or “super light,” moniker.

If you’re currently sitting aimlessly shopping for fall footwear without an end in sight, we’re here to make your buying journey a little easier. We’ve picked out four of our favorite SL 72 animal-printed silhouettes available to shop on Adidas’ website now that would make the perfect addition to your footwear rotation for fall.

A black and leopard-printed low-top sneaker.

The SL 72 leopard-printed options are head-turners for sure. We’ve picked out a more conservative black silhouette with hints of leopard throughout, along with the more maximalist all leopard-printed option. Both silhouettes will run you $110. The all-over leopard is equipped with textural pony-hair uppers mixed with white leather accents that create a welcome contrast. Speaking of contrast, the laces are a vibrant neon orange hue that brings a unique pop of color, appealing to those who like a “weird” and funky shoe. The performance aspect comes in the form of gum rubber outsoles, creating a durable, non-slip finish with flexible traction.

On the opposite spectrum but still keeping the same energy, the black model features hints of leopard in the brand’s iconic three-striped motif and towards the heel, accompanied by small doses of textural black suede paneling. Like our last entry, you’ve also got sturdy non-slip gum rubber soles. This is a more subtle option for those not looking to dive headfirst into the cool waters of animal print. It’s a more digestible play on the print, and one we can see diversifying any outfit you pair these with.

Green/emerald snakeskin low-top sneakers.

If you aren’t a fan of leopard, snakeskin is another stylish alternative that works in sort of the same way. This SL 72 iteration is made of shiny leather in either brown or a deep green hue with contrasting off-white or cream accents throughout.

Both sneakers are currently available for $100. Black cotton laces give way to subtly branded tongues and non-slip gum soles that harken back to the athleticism the OG running sneaker needed for performance purposes. Today, you still get those athletic aspects, along with that stylish snakeskin and high-shine finish that gives the shoe a lifestyle angle. The muted emerald and brown hues are unique jewel-toned touches that easily elevate the otherwise simplistic low-top silhouette.
