Voicemails for Isabelle, which became the #1 movie on Netflix the first weekend it was released, has a musical pedigree. The score was co-composed by Este Haim of the group HAIM, and it features several big pop music needle drops, including Taylor Swift's "Marjorie," from Evermore, and "New Year's Day," from Reputation.

Director Leah McKendrick, who identifies as a "hardcore Swiftie," told ABC Audio that she was thrilled to be able to use the songs in the film. "I love Taylor. She's the poet of our time. She's the Shakespeare of our times, the voice of our generation," she said.

"I think we can all really connect with this wistful little girl that became a woman, who has experienced the full spectrum of love and heartbreak and articulates it so gorgeously in a way that is accessible and, simultaneously poetry," she continued, adding, "She amazes me. ... I want Taylor Swift's songs in all my movies."

"Marjorie" is used to soundtrack a pivotal moment in the film when Jill, played by Zoey Deutch, is grieving for her younger sister Isabelle, who passed away. "New Year's Day" is heard when Jill's love interest Wes, played by Nick Robinson, is missing her. 

"In my mind, we have this girl who's yearning, longing, grieving, and we have the perfect song: 'Marjorie' just feels so right," said McKendrick. "But by the end, he's the one longing, yearning, grieving -- listening to Taylor Swift."

At first, McKendrick wasn't sure if the production would be able to afford not two Taylor Swift songs. But, she said, "Netflix really understood ... [that] [m]y music is my everything. It's part of my process. It's a part of what I want to deliver to my audience. It will always be banger after banger in all of my movies. I own that."

Even if your dad was in one of the bestselling groups of all time, if you weren't around to see them in their heyday, you might not fully realize how famous he is. But when an artist you love thinks your dad's a big deal, that's pretty convincing proof. At least, that's what Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson discovered a few years ago.

Speaking to Billboard, Kevin said that during the group's DNA tour, he and his kids were eating at a Toronto restaurant when superstar rapper Drake, a Toronto native, happened to drop in. "The maitre'd is like, 'Uh, excuse me, Drake is here and he would love, when you're finished, he would love to be able to come over and say hi,'" Kevin recalled, noting that his kids immediately started freaking out.

When they eventually went over and met Drake, Kevin said the rapper shared a story about how he had his first kiss to a Backstreet song. Then, according to Kevin, Drake asked, "What are you guys doing in town?"

"I'm like, 'We're playing three shows.' He's like, 'Could I come through?'" Kevin continued.

"He came through, got up on stage and performed with us," Kevin laughed. "So that is really when it clicked for my kids."

Even The New York Times wants to know when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be tying the knot, and the paper has seemingly uncovered some solid evidence pointing to a certain date.

"Some powerful clues are emerging," the paper writes, noting that according to "three people who have knowledge of the matter," a permit has been filed with the city to close the streets around Madison Square Garden from July 2 through midday July 4 for an event on July 3. Taylor and Travis are rumored to be tying the knot at the legendary venue. 

What's more, the paper reports that "a city official who was briefed on the preparations" came right out and said that the wedding is taking place at the Garden on July 3.

And there are other indications that the information is accurate: The Times reports that according to "a person told of the accommodations," several members of the Kansas City Chiefs have booked hotel rooms for dates around July 3 at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York's Times Square.

Plus, the Times reports that an event planning company has filed an application to set up a tent outside the arena that can hold 500 to 999 people. Amtrak police officers, who patrol the train station underneath the Garden, have been told to expect the wedding to take place that weekend.

Since they got engaged in 2025, Travis and Taylor have never confirmed any details of their wedding. The paper notes that Taylor is known for "subterfuge," and posits that all these details could be part of an elaborate ruse to throw press and fans off the trail.

Sam Smith has Hazel Eyes.

That's the title of their new album, the follow-up to 2023's Gloria. It's due Aug. 21 and is available for preorder now.

While posting a carousel of photos from her recent concerts in the LA area on Instagram, Ariana Grande inadvertently included a photo that shows her bare breast, visible due to the gaping neckline of her dress. She’s responded by unearthing a Halloween video she seemingly filmed in 2023.

In the video, posted on her Instagram Story and captured by a fan, Ariana, wearing a curly blond wig, is shown sitting at a table in Las Vegas, drinking champagne with her buddy Elizabeth Gillies.

“You have great t***,” says Elizabeth admiringly. “They’re really beautiful.”

“Thank you,” responds Ari.

This is a word-for-word reenactment of a scene from the cult movie Showgirls: Elizabeth is playing Gina Gershon’s character, Cristal, while Ari is playing Elizabeth Berkley’s character, Nomi. The two pals filmed an entire tribute to Showgirls for Halloween 2023; this was seemingly part of that tribute. Elizabeth also posted it in an Instagram Story.

"she’s so unserious and i love her," a fan responded.

Bruno Mars' hit "I Just Might" becomes "Take a Bite" in the furry blue hands — paws – of Cookie Monster.

It's the first song and video from the upcoming album Parody Party, featuring beloved Sesame Street characters putting their own spins on famous pop songs. In the video, a near carbon copy of Bruno's original, Cookie sings about his favorite treat while backed up by a band made up of sunglass-wearing clones of himself. 

"If cookie tastes as good as it look right now/ me will take a bite, a big bite/ me not going to wait/ me gobble up entire plate, hey!" sings the lovable blue monster.

The album also includes "Where Is My Lovie," a parody of RAYE's "Where Is My Husband!" sung by Abby Cadabby, Cookie Monster and Elmo. Instead of singing about a romantic partner, they sing about a misplaced toy.

Another song, "Go for the Gold," parodies the HUNTR/X song "Golden" and is performed by Abby, Zoe and Rosita, with lyrics about teamwork and friendship.

Most hilariously, "Got to Go," a parody of Chappell Roan's "Hot to Go," features Cookie Monster, Elmo and Abby singing about potty training.

The album also includes three previously released tracks that were previously only available on YouTube: "Me Want It (But Me Wait)," a parody of Icona Pop's "I Love It" in which Cookie Monster sings about self-regulation; "Sort It All," a "Shake It Off" parody about recycling sung by Oscar the Grouch and friends; and "Share it Maybe," a "Call Me Maybe" parody about sharing treats, also sung by Cookie Monster.

Parody Party is released on July 26; you can pre-save the album now.

Oprah Winfrey recently made headlines by telling an unflattering story about Whitney Houston, and now the late singer's estate is hitting back, saying Oprah's version of the story is inaccurate.

While speaking at the Cannes Lion festival in France, Variety and other outlets reported that Oprah illustrated the influence she and her talk show had by claiming that Whitney Houston once fell off the stage during a 2009 appearance on the show because "she had gone back on drugs.”

Variety quoted Oprah as saying, “I knew that if that story got out … [Whitney] would be destroyed by that. And so even though the audience was there and the audience had cameras, I begged them not to put those pictures out because it would ruin her life, and they did not. That would not happen today, I can tell you that.” 

The official Whitney Houston Instagram account posted a statement from the late singer's estate on Wednesday, reading, "Whitney absolutely fell off stage, but it was during a sound check and it was due to the darkness of the area and her unfamiliarity with the stage. She was absolutely not high."

"This story was picked up by several media outlets. Like many people, she faced personal battles, but it is inaccurate and unfair to attach that struggle to every performance or every chapter of her life," the statement continued.

The statement concluded, "What the studio audience witnessed on stage was the result of discipline, talent, and commitment not the assumptions others project.  Whitney’s humanity included triumphs and struggles, but on that day, she showed up as the professional and gifted artist she always worked to be. We owe her the dignity of telling the truth not repeating myths."

Whitney accidentally drowned in 2012. She was 48.

Taylor Swift and one of country music's hottest stars teamed up for a surprise duet Tuesday night in Nashville, where Taylor's fiancé Travis Kelce was holding his annual Tight End University event.

The surprise duet took place at Sports Illustrated and Tight End University's Tight Ends & Friends Concert Presented by Reese’s, held at Nashville's The Pinnacle. Award-winning country queen Lainey Wilson, whose own appearance was a surprise, welcomed Taylor to the stage to sing Taylor's hit "Love Story."  When Taylor got to the part where she sings, "Pulled out a ring," she flashed her own engagement ring.

The event included performances by other country superstars, including Luke Combs and Dan + Shay. Comedian Shane Gillis also put in an appearance, and Travis and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle did a keg stand onstage.

Travis, George and ex-tight end Greg Olsen founded Tight End University. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, George, who's been invited to Taylor and Travis' wedding, said he asked Travis if the couple is really getting married at Madison Square Garden, as has been rumored. George said that Travis "laughed at me."

George told People of Taylor's appearance at the concert, "She's just such an awesome person to give us her time this close to their wedding. So we're just so thankful that they're here."

Last year, Taylor also performed at the Tight Ends & Friends concert; she sang "Shake It Off."

Myles Smith's debut album, My Mess. My Heart. My Life., is out now and comes with an endorsement from Myles' pal Ed Sheeran, as well as a short film starring Emmy-winning Adolescence star Stephen Graham.

The film's set to the song "Hold Me in the Dark" and features Graham as a devastated father whose child is dying. Myles directed it and has dedicated it to the staff of the pediatric oncology ward at his local hospital in England, some of whom appear as extras.

While "Hold Me in the Dark" isn't about death, there are tracks on the album that cover serious topics, alongside romantic ballads and upbeat tunes, like "Dublin Lights," which he co-wrote with Ed. That's why, Myles says, the album title is so long.

"This title is almost a roadmap of the record," he told ABC Audio. "'My Mess' is chaos, it's mistakes, it's struggles. 'My Heart' is about love, relationships and the people who matter most. And 'My Life' is everything in between: the memories, the lessons and experiences."

"They've all shaped me," he notes. "Together, it feels probably like the most complete picture of who I am right now."

Two of the songs on the 15-track project are the ones that put him on the map: "Stargazing" and "Nice to Meet You." Even though both those tunes came out in 2024 and have racked up over 1 billion streams, Myles says they "absolutely deserve a place in this record."

"They changed my life," he told ABC Audio. "And more importantly, they represent themes that run throughout the album: hope, connection, the idea that people could come into your life and completely change your perspective."

"They might have existed before the album, yes, but also, I guess, spiritually, they've always belonged there."

If it seems like Daryl Hall's been "Out of Touch" lately, he has a good excuse.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer wrote on Instagram Wednesday, "Hi everybody! I thought you should know that I recently received a kidney transplant from a very kind and generous living donor."

"It happened a couple of weeks ago, and I'm already starting to feel better. It was, according to my doctors, a complete success!" he continued. "I should be back to normal in a few months, so get ready for more music and lots of Daryl's House shows. You all take care!"

Hall, 79, was most recently on tour last year, when he visited the U.S. and the U.K. with special guest Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze. His most recent solo album, D, came out in June 2024.

ABC Audio has reached out to Hall's representative.

Ariana Grande welcomed some old pals to her recent string of concerts in the LA area.

Ari posted to Instagram a carousel of photos from her Eternal Sunshine tour, and one of them showed her posing and smiling with Elizabeth Gillies and Matt Bennett, two of her co-stars on the Nickelodeon show Victorious. There were also photos of her posing individually with Elizabeth and Matt.

All three appeared on Victorious from 2010 to 2013, with Ari playing Cat Valentine, Elizabeth playing Jade West and Matt playing Robbie Shapiro. Also in the cast were Leon Thomas III, who's now a Grammy-winning musician, and Avan Jogia, who's now engaged to Halsey.

After attending the concert, Elizabeth wrote on Instagram, "You’ve always been a visionary who stayed true to herself and poured herself completely into her art and this tour is no exception. It’s spectacular, visually stunning, deeply immersive and made me feel like I was watching a movie. It also made me feel like I was watching an artist at the top of her game."

"I’ll never understand how that voice comes out of you so perfectly and effortlessly every night but it definitely does. You were born to do this and nobody does it like you. Nobody could," she concluded.

Ariana responded in the comments, "oh my f****** goodness liz i am sobbing at this." She added, "my sweet, my dearest, my dingus, my friend, i love you so much always."

Ari's next concert is Wednesday in Austin, Texas.

Despite her relative youth, Miley Cyrus seems to have done it all in the entertainment biz, so why shouldn't she get her own Barbie doll?

On Tuesday, Miley posted a photo of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You can see someone's legs standing on it, but when you look closer, you see those legs and feet belong not to a human, but to a Barbie doll. Miley captioned it "June 30."

The official Barbie account wrote in the comments, "Hi Miley." And the official Barbie Style account wrote, "Shoes fit for a star."

"OMG ITS A DOLL FOOT! BARBIE!!!" wrote one fan. "MILEY BARBIEEEE LETS GOOOOOO," wrote another.
"as a doll collector and a lifelong smiler IVE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS," added a third fan.

And when one fan wrote, "Come on Barbie, let’s go party" — referring to the lyrics of the song "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, another fan added, "Yessss. Party in the USA."

Of course, if and when a Miley Cyrus Barbie doll does go on sale, you'd better move fast; past celebrity Barbies have sold out in minutes.

When Taylor Swift and her pals attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 10, they made headlines not just because people were accusing Taylor of not being a "real" fan, but because of the custom shirts they were wearing.

The tees, worn by Taylor, Mariska Hargitay, and Este Haim and Alana Haim of the band HAIM, featured the names of famous people misspelled with a "Kn," in honor of the New York Knicks, like "Stevie Knicks," "Knickole Kidman" and the band "Knickelback."

Now, Este tells People, "Taylor is a genius. She was the one that came up with the idea, and Alana was the one that executed it." Alana custom-made the shirts by hand and said Taylor came up with "Stevie Knicks" specifically.

As for Nicole Kidman, Este tells People, "I mean, it's no secret that we love her, we're huge fans of hers. And it kind of lent itself to the T-shirt. It was the first name that came to mind when we were all brainstorming what Knicks-themed names we would use."

After seeing Este in the "Knickole Kidman" shirt, Nicole shared a photo of the trio at the game to her Instagram Stories and wrote, "Right there with you girls!"

The third member of HAIM, Danielle Haim, was also at the game that night — she wore a shirt that said "Knickolas Cage." And later that same night, Taylor's friend sombr was seen out at a club in a "Stevie Knicks" shirt.

In other Taylor news, on Monday she supported her fiancé Travis Kelce at his annual Tight End University  training camp in Nashville by attending the opening night party.

The death of legendary record executive Clive Davis at age 94 continues to reverberate throughout the music industry, since he was personally responsible for the careers of many artists.

Clive signed Billy Joel to Columbia Records, where he remained for his entire career. Billy said in a statement, "He recognized the talent of great musicians and understood the power of contemporary music. I will always be grateful to Clive for his recognition of the critical importance of songwriting."

Clive helped revive Dionne Warwick's career in the '80s with songs like "I'll Never Love This Way Again" and "Heartbreaker." She said in a statement, "I can think of no other record man that seemed to have that magical ability to know a hit when he heard a song."

On Instagram, Barbra Streisand credited Clive with helping her update her sound. "In the early 1970s, the times they were a’changin’…socially, politically, and of course, musically," she wrote. "As the head of Columbia Records, Clive recognized these changes and encouraged me to ... record an album of songs by contemporary writers like Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, Laura Nyro and Gordon Lightfoot. The album Stoney End opened new doors for me. I’m forever grateful for Clive’s vision and support."

Clive was the head of the record label that released the music of American Idol winners in the show's early years. Jennifer Hudson, a finalist on season 3, wrote on Instagram, "This was a huge blow to wake up to. I know nobody lives forever, but Clive’s impact and legacy will always live on! Yes, he was the legendary music mogul, but he was family to me. ... You will be missed, Clive! We will always celebrate your life and legacy."

Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks wrote, "The great Clive Davis and I used to yell at each other. Our chemistry from artist to legendary label head was edgy but we both had one goal in common, to create the best art I could. ... I was honored to know him and yell at him ;) Rest in Peace Clive, you were a legend."

Season 5 finalist Chris Daughtry paid tribute to Clive, writing, "Thank you for believing in and taking a chance on a 26 year old me… A singer songwriter from North Carolina who couldn’t even win a TV singing competition. Thank you for seeing something more in me. Thank you for being the only record exec out of the 6 that I met with to show genuine interest in MY songs."

He then recalled playing "Home" in front of Clive for the first time, and Clive saying, "Well… that sounds like a hit.”  "My heart almost exploded out of my chest. I will never forget this moment. You will be missed sir," he added.

Olivia Rodrigo is drawing inspiration from one of music's most influential female-led festivals as she launches her own event aimed at supporting women and girls.

Speaking with ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview that aired Tuesday on Good Morning America, the Grammy-winning singer said Lilith Fair, the groundbreaking concert tour founded by Sarah McLachlan in the 1990s, helped inspire Daisy Chain Fields, a new music festival taking place Aug. 29 at Great Park in Irvine, California.

"Lilith Fair was a huge inspiration in me starting this festival, Daisy Chain Fields," Rodrigo said. "And actually, the first person that I called when I decided that I wanted to do this festival was Sarah McLachlan."

Rodrigo added that McLachlan "is a total trailblazer and an incredible artist and a friend, and she's actually going to sing at the festival with me too, which is really exciting and a big honor for me."

The single-day festival will bring together an all-women lineup of artists, including Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Garbage, Mitski, KATSEYE, The Breeders and more. Special guests will include McLachlan, Stevie Nicks and Karen O.

According to organizers, 100% of the net proceeds from Daisy Chain Fields will benefit nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls.

"All of the incredible artists who are on the bill are doing it for free for charity, which is just a real testament to their hearts, as well as their talent," she said.

The singer said she came up with the festival's name while imagining a community-centered gathering.

"When I pictured this festival, I had an image in my head of girls sitting underneath a tree, making [daisy chain] flower crowns or friendship bracelets," Rodrigo said. "And so I came up with the name Daisy Chain Fields, and I also just like the idea of a daisy chain, how we can all be individual links in this chain that is larger than the individual."

Rodrigo said Daisy Chain Fields is ultimately about fostering connection and support among women.

"I think there's this rhetoric that girls are supposed to be competing with each other for the top spot, or there's only this many resources for everyone," Rodrigo said. "And I think it's an experience like Lilith Fair, and hopefully Daisy Chain, that will show us that we're all way stronger when we come together and support one another."

Pollstar, which tracks the concert industry, has released its midyear touring charts, and Lady Gaga and BTS rank high on the list.

BTS' current tour landed them in the #1 spot among the North American top touring artists, grossing more than $104 million so far this year. Lady Gaga's The MAYHEM Ball ranked #2, with a gross exceeding $87 million. Other artists in the top 10 include Bad Bunny, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, New Edition, Luke Combs, the Eagles and Cardi B.

When it comes to the worldwide chart, Bad Bunny is #1, raking in more than $225 million. Lady Gaga is #2, followed by BTS at #3. Ed Sheeran ranks at #5 with a gross of more than $105 million.  He just started the North American leg of his LOOP tour a few days ago, so those numbers aren't reflected in the totals.

While some high-profile artists canceled tours and individual shows this year, Pollstar reports the industry is doing better than ever. Gross revenue for the top 100 touring artists is more than 12% higher than last year: a total of $3.16 billion. In case you're wondering, the average ticket price in North America is $122.15, which is actually down 2.4% from last year.

If you didn't get a chance to see The MAYHEM Ball, Gaga filmed a reimagined version called MAYHEM Requiem, now streaming on Apple Music.

BTS' tour, in support of their album ARIRANG, is currently making its way through Europe and is set to return to North America starting Aug. 1. Ed Sheeran's LOOP stadium tour, featuring opening act Myles Smith and a rotating lineup of other performers, wraps up its North American leg in Tampa, Florida, in November.

Adele's been out of the spotlight lately, but she emerged a few days ago to check out a rising star: Lola Young. 
Adele attended one of Lola's concerts at the O2 Academy Brixton in London and posed with her backstage. Lola posted video of herself freaking out as she tells someone else that "Adele's here." She wrote in the caption that "it was so surreal" to have one of her "favourite artists ever" show up.

New mom Carly Rae Jepsen is birthing another project: a double album. Called Day and Night, it features 24 tracks, 12 for day and 12 for night. The first single, "On Wires," is out on Friday. Her first live performance of 2026 will take place Sept. 27 at New York City's All Things Go Festival.

Pink shared a Father's Day tribute on Monday to her husband, Carey Hart, with whom she shares daughter Willow Sage Heart and son Jameson Moon Hart. She wrote, "I miss my Dad. But I get to see this guy do it. It is such a gift to see a father love their children. To be stretched to the limits by that love, to show up in any and every way they can. These two are very lucky, and very loved."
