Rare Beauty just cooked up a new fragrance for fall.

Retailing for $75 at Sephora, the Selena Gomez-backed brand launched Rare Eau de Parfum, a dreamy vanilla and caramel fragrance sure to titillate the senses. This warm offering comes in a gilded package with a pink frosted finish, with the key notes in this gourmand fragrance being caramel, vanilla and sandalwood, a sweet and woody mixture.

The bottle was constructed with everyone in mind, allowing a variety of people easy access to the fragrance. In a consumer study done by the brand, of 56 individuals with mild to severe upper extremity impairments 96% said the oversized pump makes it easier to press down on with any part of your hand/body and 95% said the shape of the bottle allows for a more secure grip. The mist is fine, evenly dispersing the product for even coverage. For best results, we recommend spritzing this on the inside of your wrist, neck and ankles.

If you aren’t sold on the full-size bottle, Sephora also has a mini set and a larger travel size that folks can browse. The mini set will run you $35, while the travel size retails for $30. Both of these mini sizes make great gifting options for the perfume lover or the Selenators in your life.

Now, you might be asking yourself, “What’s a gourmand?” In simple terms, a gourmand fragrance is one that contains edible notes like vanilla, caramel, chocolate, matcha and orange. The resulting fragrance is often decadent and sweet rather than herbal or woods.

If you’re not fond of fragrance or you want to amp up the longevity of your fragrances, Rare Beauty also launched layering balms in four distinct scents: Floral Peony Blossom, Fresh Bergamot, Woody Oak and Amber Vanilla. Each balm retails for $19. We’d recommend using the Amber Vanilla scent when layering with the Rare Eau de Parfum, given the notes live in the same gourmand family. Essentially, layering balms can be likened to the primers of the perfume world.

They prep the skin for fragrance, upping the intensity of anything put on top of it. These balms will also enhance the longevity of your fragrance, giving you more wear time. Balms also create a more dimensional fragrance experience, allowing you to tailor a unique scent to your preferences. Want your fragrance to lean towards a clean and fresh route? Layer on Fresh Bergamot. Want something sweet and floral? Lean towards Floral Peony Blossom. The world is your oyster.

As one of Taylor Swift‘s closest friends, Zoe Kravitz was one of the first people to hear songs from the pop star’s new album The Life of a Showgirl.

And according to the actress, her bestie’s upcoming LP is worth all of the hype it’s already garnered in the six days since Swift first announced it last week. “I’ve heard bits of it,” Kravitz recently told Extra during an interview alongside Austin Butler for their new movie, Caught Stealing.

“It’s fantastic,” she continued. “Yeah, of course … No skips.”

When the interviewer replied that a skip-less album is “rare,” Kravitz asserted, “For her it’s not.”

At this point, the Batman star is an expert in Swift’s music. In addition to being friends with the 14-time Grammy winner for years, Kravitz has co-written songs with Swift in the past, lending her pen to Midnights opening track “Lavender Haze.”

The two women are so close, in fact, that Kravitz stayed at one of Swift’s homes with mom Lisa Bonet after having to evacuate her own residence amid the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. While there, the two women accidentally lost Bonet’s pet snake Orpheus inside the Eras Tour headliner’s bathroom, resulting in Swift’s house manager having to take apart the musician’s cabinetry in order to get the reptile out.

“We completely destroyed Taylor’s bathroom, and there was just this moment where I was like, ‘Either we destroy her bathroom, or I have to tell her that there’s a snake somewhere in her house,’” Kravitz recalled Aug. 12 on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “I remember calling her and saying, ‘Hey … I wanted to talk to you about something,’ and she was like, ‘Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in our house and destroyed my bathroom?’”

Kravitz’s comments on Showgirl come less than a week after Swift announced that her 12th studio album is set to arrive Oct. 3. Produced by Max Martin and Shellback, the project features 12 tracks — including a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter.

“[The album is] a lot more upbeat, and it’s a lot more fun pop excitement,” Swift said of Showgirl on boyfriend Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast. “My main goals were melodies that were so infectious, you’re almost angry at it.”

HUNTR/X and Saja Boys may do battle in Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters, but the acts team up to claim four of the top five on the Billboard Global 200 chart.

HUNTR/X’s “Golden” adds a fifth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on both the Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. In July, the song became the first leader on each list for the act, whose music is voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI.

Meanwhile, HUNTR/X earns its second top five Global 200 hit, as “How It’s Done” jumps 8-5.

In between the trio’s two top five entries, Saja Boys rise 4-3 with “Soda Pop,” which returns to its best placement, and 5-4 with “Your Idol,” which has also reached No. 3. Both songs are performed by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo and samUIL Lee.

Since the Global 200 began in September 2020, four elite albums — by two superstars — other than the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack have generated as many as four concurrent top five hits. Taylor Swift monopolized the entire top five in the debut chart weeks for her LPs The Tortured Poets Department (May 4, 2024), 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (Nov. 11, 2023) and Midnights (Nov. 5, 2022), while Drake held Nos. 2-5 the week that Certified Lover Boy made its chart start (Sept. 18, 2021).

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

“Golden” leads the Global 200 with 117.8 million streams (down less than 1% week-over-week) and 14,000 sold (up 7%) worldwide in the week ending Aug. 14.

As for the only song not from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack in the Global 200’s top five, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds at No. 2 after 10 weeks on top beginning in May.

“Golden” tops Global Excl. U.S. with 86.1 million streams (down 1%) and 7,000 sold (up 8%) outside the U.S.

“Ordinary” keeps at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S., following eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May; BLACKPINK’s “Jump” repeats at No. 3, after it led in its debut week in July; “Soda Pop” is steady at its No. 4 high; and “Your Idol” rises 8-5, returning to its best rank.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Aug. 23, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Aug. 19. For both charts, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard’s subscription-based service. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Taylor Swift is keeping the surprises coming ahead of her new album The Life of a Showgirl, with the 14-time Grammy winner unveiling two new vinyl variants on her website Monday (Aug. 18).

Available for pre-order at 2 p.m. ET — hours after a mysterious countdown appeared on Swift’s site teasing the drop — the brand new The Life of a Showgirl: The Shiny Bug Edition collection features an exclusive set of goodies that can only be purchased over the next two days. The limited editions are only available while supplies last until 1:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday (Aug. 20).

Available in two colors — wintergreen onyx and violet shimmer — the marbled Shiny Bug vinyl records feature exclusive cover art depicting Swift wearing a dark, sparkly leotard with flared spikes and matching gloves. They also come with a full-size gatefold photograph of Swift, a double-sided foldout panel displaying a special poem she wrote for the set and a collection of exclusive photographs.

The news comes less than a week after the pop star announced The Life of a Showgirl — her 12th studio album — on Aug. 12, via a teaser clip for her interview on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast. The full episode featuring Swift arrived the following day, with the musician sharing more details about the LP — including its cover art, production team and tracklist — on the show and in an Instagram post.

“[The album is] a lot more upbeat, and it’s a lot more fun pop excitement,” she said on the show. “My main goals were melodies that were so infectious, you’re almost angry at it.”

With Max Martin and Shellback serving as Swift’s only co-producers on Showgirl, the 12-track project features a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter on the title track. At the time Swift first announced the LP last week, she also debuted four alternate versions of the album — the “Sweat and Vanilla Perfume” edition, the “It’s Frightening” edition, the “It’s Rapturous” edition and the “It’s Beautiful” edition — that each come with different artwork and photo cards, as well as a jewelry box with a different collectible charm bracelet.

As opposed to Swift’s last album, the sprawling 35-track Tortured Poets Department — which spent 17 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — the singer has also promised that Showgirl will not have any bonus tracks beyond the core 12 on the tracklist.

“There’s no other songs coming,” she emphasized on New Heights. “This is the record I’ve been wanting to make for a very long time.”
