The star recently wrapped up her sold-out global Miss Possessive Arena Tour. With over 80-dates and a million tickets sold, the tour included stops in Latin America, Europe, United Kingdon and North America. Praising the show, Rolling Stone called it “a manic pop-glitz spectacle” while The New York Times noted, “Dance, which has been a central part of McRae’s pop persona from the beginning, is thrillingly showcased.”
GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist mgk reunites with one of the most successful groups of the 21st century, Jonas Brothers, for fizzy and swoon-worthy remix of his inescapable 2025 hit “cliché.” The two pop powerhouses first played the song together live when mgk joined Nick, Joe, and Kevin for a raucous surprise performance at their September Vancouver show on Jonas Brothers biggest tour yet. “cliché (Jonas Brothers Remix)” captures their infectious full-band energy as four vocalists making a heartfelt plea for love. Listen HERE.
Hailing from mgk’s blockbuster new album lost americana — his third consecutive No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart — “cliché” is an upbeat anthem written and produced alongside longtime mgk collaborators and friends SlimXX, BazeXX, and Nick Long. Opening on spare guitar and emotive vocals, the song explodes into racing pop-punk rhythms and glistening new wave textures. On the new version, mgk splits up the verses with the Jonas Brothers, but they all come together for the massive heart-on-sleeve chorus.
“cliché” has become an enduring cornerstone of lost americana. In June, mgk released the candid, piano-powered acoustic rendition, “cliché (sad version).” He’s also brought energized performances of the single to massive televised stages including Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards and The Today Show’s Citi Concert Series, where he sang backed by a full band.
The new release arrives as mgk continues his lost americana tour, which is set to conquer arenas and amphitheaters in North American, Europe, and the UK well into July of 2026 so far. At select dates, mgk will treat fans to a special five-year anniversary performance celebrating his groundbreaking 2020 album, Tickets to My Downfall, which scored mgk his first #1 on the Billboard 200. The tour’s full lineup, routing, and ticket information can be found HERE.

Two-time Stanley Cup Champions the LA Kings and HexClad, the game-changing cookware brand redefining kitchens worldwide, are heating things up in the world of sports with a new multi-year partnership naming HexClad the Official Cookware Partner of the team.

This new partnership adds to HexClad’s growing sports portfolio, which includes official collaborations with the New York Yankees and F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda, further solidifying the brand’s position as a global lifestyle force redefining what performance looks like in the kitchen and beyond.

KATSEYE – who recently received their first two GRAMMY® nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the breakout hit “Gabriela” – kicked off their first-ever tour on November 15 at The Armory in Minneapolis, MN. The tour is named for the group’s new EP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS (HYBE x Geffen Records), which debuted in the top 5 of the Billboard 200.
When tickets for KATSEYE: The Beautiful Chaos Tour sold out immediately, the group added second shows in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles, which also sold out. The headline run continues tomorrow, November 18, with a show at The Theatre at Great Canadian Toronto.
In New York City, KATSEYE will play The Hammerstein Ballroom on November 21 and The Theater at Madison Square Garden on November 22. West Coast dates include a two-night stand at The Theater at Bill Graham Civic in San Francisco (December 5 & 6) and Los Angeles area shows at YouTube Theater (December 12) and the Hollywood Palladium (December 13). The tour will wrap up on December 16 at Teatro Metrópolitan in Mexico City. See below for itinerary. All information can be found on www.katseye.world. KATSEYE gave Vogue a first look at their tour wardrobe in this feature.
Over the summer, the group played their first festivals. NYLON praised KATSEYE’s “red-hot Lollapalooza debut.” Coveteur went backstage with the group for a look at the fashions selected especially for their performance in this feature. Next, the group flew to Japan to perform at Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo. In late October, KATSEYE made their first-ever UK appearance. Melanie C (Spice Girls) was on hand to moderate a Q&A with KATSEYE before their performance. Rolling Stone UK noted, “KATSEYE are, dare I say it, the Spice Girls of the social media age…. I think they will become the defining girl group of the 2020s.”
BEAUTIFUL CHAOS includes the hits “Gnarly,” which has already amassed 100 million combined global streams, and “Gabriela,” which HYPEBEAST praised as “a bold evolution in [KATSEYE’s] artistic direction.” KATSEYE went on to team up with Young Miko for a remix of “Gabriela,” earning widespread praise. Rolling Stone said, “The new version of the fan-favorite [‘Gabriela’] comes just days after Katseye made history with a massive crowd on the Lollapalooza mainstage in Chicago over the weekend.” Remezcla observed, “[The] remix has transformed this song into an undeniable Latine queer anthem.”
KATSEYE recently won the MTV Video Music Award for Push Performance of the Year for “Touch.” The group performed two songs at the ceremony –“Gnarly” (view HERE) and “Gabriela” (view HERE). ELLE chronicled their night of firsts in this article. The FADER said, “KATSEYE’s 2025 VMAs performances prove they’re up next.” Harper’s Bazaar praised their “jaw-dropping performance of ‘Gabriela’…they brought the heat with sensual choreography that made the crowd go wild.” Entertainment Tonight said, “KATSEYE Slays VMAs” and spoke with the group in this clip.
For Halloween, KATSEYE shot a special video, inspired by a question they got on the VMA red carpet: “What is your favorite Mariah Carey video?” Playing a journalist in the clip, “Saturday Night Live” star Bowen Yang poses the question, and each group member responds by modeling a look from Carey’s music videos. Carey, who was honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the VMA’s, makes a cameo. View the video HERE. Teen Vogue declared, “KATSEYE Goes Full Mariah Carey For Their First Halloween Costume. And we’re obsessed.”
When GAP tapped KATSEYE for its fall 2025 “Better in Denim” campaign, the commercial instantly went viral as fans began posting clips of themselves doing the moves from the Robbie Blue-choreographed spot. View the ad, which has over 45 million views on YouTube alone, HERE. As Bustle noted in this feature from its Entertainers issue, “It seems just about everything the group does goes viral…” Highsnobiety and Teen Vogue went behind-the-scene of the commercial shoot.
KATSEYE – comprising Daniela (Cuban/Venezuelan-American, from Atlanta, GA), Lara (Indian, from New York, NY), Manon (Ghanaian-Italian, from Zurich, Switzerland), Megan (Chinese-American, from Honolulu, HI), Sophia (Manila, Philippines), and Yoonchae (Seoul, South Korea) – is the first group of its kind, forged within the high standards of the K-pop system, as seen in HYBE and Geffen Records’ groundbreaking Dream Academy show and artist development program (and later, the Netflix docuseries, Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE).

Brooklyn’s award-winning rapper, Joey Bada$$, and visionary designer KidSuper debuted their collaborative capsule collection, “SUPAFLEE,” at an exclusive pop-up event in Brooklyn from 2-6PM EST. The event brought together fans, collectors and creatives to celebrate the launch of the highly anticipated collection, blending music, fashion, and art in a one-of-a-kind experience.
SUPAFLEE merges Joey’s bold, timeless energy with KidSuper’s imaginative design language. The collection marks a full-circle moment for the two Brooklyn natives, whose decade-long friendship fueled the spirit behind the drop. Designed to celebrate and mirror the essence of Joey’s latest mixtape, ‘Lonely At The Top,’ the capsule embodies the same vibrant, stylish, and self-expressive DNA.
“Colm isn’t just a collaborator he’s family” says Joey Bada$$. “We’ve been building together for years, so SUPAFLEE came naturally. It was a no-brainer. We both approach creativity with the same fearlessness, so this capsule became a space where our worlds collide.” KidSuper creator Colm Dillane says, “Over a decade of knowing each other, it’s amazing to see everything we have both accomplished. Without Joey, I don’t know where KidSuper would be”.
The Brooklyn pop-up offered first access to the limited-edition collection along with an exclusive meet-and-greet, giving attendees the chance to shop the collection, take photos, and connect with Joey and Colm. Guests were immersed in an environment reflecting the capsule’s striking and playful aesthetic, complete with interactive installations and curated visuals that brought the world of SUPAFLEE to life.
The pop-up followed a monumental night for Joey, who performed a sold-out show at the historic Brooklyn Paramount. The homecoming performance marked a full-circle moment, as his last Brooklyn show took place before 2022. Joey celebrated the release of his latest project, Lonely At The Top, bringing out special guests Ferg, Rapsody, Neek Bucks, and Bri Steeves, with a DJ set by Powers Pleasant. The setlist blended new music with fan-favorite records from his debut album, 1999, underscoring his growth and longevity.
The “SUPAFLEE” capsule collection features a zip-up hoodie, matching sweatpants, a crewneck sweater, and a T-shirt, available for purchase exclusively at the KidSuper Brooklyn storefront from November 21 to 24 and online starting (date TBD). The drop will remain in-store only for the duration of the pop-up, with an online release date to be announced.

Food critic, philanthropist, and social media changemaker Keith Lee took center stage at Minnie’s Food Pantry’s 18th Annual Thanksgiving Giveaway, where he helped feed over 4,200 families last Saturday in North Texas during the organization’s largest holiday distribution since its founding.
Amid ongoing recovery from the recent government shutdown and temporary SNAP benefit halt, Keith’s participation brought national attention to the growing need for hunger relief. Through his nationwide initiative, “A Familee That SNAPS Back,” Keith donated $12,000 worth of turkeys, directly ensuring that even more families received the support they needed this holiday season.
Keith also collaborated with multiple partner brands to amplify the event’s reach and spent the morning volunteering onsite, handing out meals, meeting families, and inspiring community-led giving through his content and influence.
This year’s giveaway supported over 4,200 families, many still struggling to regain stability after benefit disruptions. Keith’s involvement played a key role in helping Minnie’s Food Pantry meet the moment with dignity, heart, and expanded resources.
The event was made possible through the power of community, including 818 volunteers and generous sponsors.

Nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, Jennifer Hudson’s The Gift of Love won widespread critical acclaim upon its release in 2024 and debuted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart. Today, Interscope Records released an extended holiday edition of the album, which includes two new bonus tracks “Mary, Did You Know?” – a modern Christmas classic penned by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene that contemplates the relationship between Mary and her newborn son Jesus – and “Let There Be Joy,” an original song heard in Hallmark’s 2024 Joy to Your World campaign. Download / stream The Gift of Love Extended Holiday Edition HERE. See below for track listing.
With her effortless range and melodic tone, the genre-defying vocalist brings to life seasonal favorites like “Winter Wonderland,” “O Holy Night,” and “Auld Lang Syne” alongside original songs such as “Santa for Someone,” “Find The Love” and “Carol of the Bells” (ft. The Joy).
“Christmas carols from one of the greatest voices in music? asked Rolling Stone. “Sign us up!” Predicting The Gift of Love would rise to the rank of “annual staple,” AllMusic.com noted, “‘Santa for Somebody’ is an uptempo soul throwback about the pressures of gift-giving, while…‘Almost Christmas’ is mostly gleeful narration from Common with Hudson enhancing the sentiments with graceful and romantic punctuation.”
Ryan Tedder served as Executive Producer of the album and produced several tracks. Hudson additionally teamed with producers David Foster, Greg Phillinganes, Kirk Franklin, James Poyser, Fede Vindver, Peer Åström; and co-writers including Michael Pollack and J Kash.
Entertainment’s youngest female EGOT-winner and a self-described “holiday fanatic” spoke with Billboard about how she went about recording her first-ever Christmas album in this feature. The nod for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album marks the ninth GRAMMY nomination of Hudson’s career and follows wins for Best R&B Album (Jennifer Hudson) and Best Musical Theater Album (The Color Purple).
At the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony earlier this month, Hudson joined Stevie Wonder, Maxwell, Questlove, Beck, Leon Thomas and Flea for an all-star medley of Sly and the Family Stone’s greatest hits. View HERE.
Now in its fourth season, “The Jennifer Hudson Show” will be celebrating the holidays throughout December. “Saturday Night Live” recently turned its attention to the show’s legendary “Spirit Tunnel” pre-show segments in this spot with Nikki Glaser for an anti-anxiety med dubbed “Hudsacillin.”
Hudson is represented by Original Project, CAA, Wolf Kasteler, JSSK and Ziffren Brittenham.
