Last week, Katy made an epic return to the MTV stage for the first time since 2017. The five-time VMA winner accepted the 2024 Video Vanguard Award and performed a show-stopping, career-spanning medley of her biggest hits, which included the debut television performances of two singles from 143 – “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE,” with a surprise appearance by Doechii, and “LIFETIMES.” View the medley HERE.
Shortly thereafter, Katy dropped the official video for “I’M HIS, HE’S MINE.” View HERE. Billboard said, “If you’re still wiping the steam off your screen from Katy Perry‘s NSFW debut performance of ‘I’m His, He’s Mine’ with Doechii during her career-spanning medley at this week’s 2024 VMAs, buckle up because the official video is just as provocative.” PEOPLE observed, “Katy Perry left no crumbs in her performance for the ‘I’m His, He’s Mine’ music video.” Uproxx marveled, “From daredevil like stunts to full-on PDA, Katy Perry and Doechii hold nothing back.” 143 also includes features by 21 Savage, Kim Petras and JID. See below for track listing.
With a cumulative 115 billion streams alongside worldwide sales of over 70 million adjusted albums and 143 million tracks, Katy is one of the best-selling musical artists of all time. She’s one of only five recording artists in RIAA history to gain entry to the elite 100 Million Certified Songs club. With 143, she launches an exciting new era in her record-breaking pop career.

GRAMMY-nominated artist GloRilla has raised the bar once again by dropping a huge announcement: her debut album GLORIOUS is set to arrive on October 11. The studio album comes after Big Glo trailblazed her way through the music industry with infectious hit records and high-profile collaborations that have won fans over around the globe. Fans who pre-order the album will get two instant gratification tracks, “Hollon” and her summer smash “TGIF.”
In addition to the album announcement, the 25-year-old has given fans a surprise by releasing “Hollon” as her latest single. The track has been teased several times on social media and went viral with fans who couldn’t get enough of the song by recording their own videos to it. “Hollon” is another banger from the CMG product as she weaves through the speaker-rattling production and dishes out fierce bars about how she handles her business with her collective of fierce women. “H*e, you must not know what you just started (da f*ck) / Me and my b*tches go gnarley / Give a f*ck about this party / We gone step on sh*t regardless (stamp dat),” Glo states triumphantly to open the track.
GloRilla has been on a tear over the last several months, starting with her last project, a 12-track effort titled Ehhthang, Ehhthang, which was released in April and generated over 550 million streams in the U.S. to date. The mixtape propelled Glo further into the spotlight and had her dominate the summer season as two of the project’s biggest songs, “Yeah Glo” and “Wanna Be” with Megan Thee Stallion, simultaneously hit Urban Radio Top 10 list along with her biggest anthem to date, the Rihanna-co-signed “TGIF.” Glo became the first female artist to achieve that feat in almost a decade and she didn’t stop there as all three songs went on to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, with each peaking at the Top 30. In particular, “Wanna Be” went #1 on the Rhythmic Radio chart while “TGIF” is still active, cracking the Top 10 this week and still climbing.
Glo also received the key to the city of Memphis for her musical achievements in September and also performed an exhilarating set at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where she was also nominated four times and turned heads with a red carpet look inspired by Vogue, which was highlighted in a ‘Get Ready With’ piece with the iconic publication. The bonafide hitmaker also hit the road alongside Megan Thee Stallion as an opening act on her sold-out Hot Girl Summer tour earlier this summer. She was also invited to serve as a presenter at the ESPYs, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and Billboard Women in Music. The Glo train isn’t stopping there either, as the rapper has been nominated seven times for the upcoming 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards in October.
About GloRilla
GloRilla is leading the next generation of rappers with a force, having already been nominated for a 2023 GRAMMY Award, a 2022 AMA Award & a 2022 BET HipHop Award. The Memphis rapper arrived on the scene in 2022 with singles “F.N.F” & “Tomorrow 2” ft. Cardi B., which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, she released her debut EP, “Anyways, Life’s Great…” The project sold close to 400K units and is the biggest label debut EP from a female rapper in three years. Since she emerged, Glo has graced the covers of major magazines, including ELLE, The CUT,XXL Freshman Class 2023.

Global superstar Gwen Stefani releases her new single, “Somebody Else’s,” an upbeat, guitar-driven track. Mixing together new wave flare and ’70s soft rock energy, the song arrives alongside the news that Stefani’s fifth solo album, entitled Bouquet, will be coming out on November 15.
On Monday, September 30, Stefani will join Jimmy Kimmel Live! for a debut performance of “Somebody Else’s”.
“Somebody Else’s” is available now at all digital retailers via Interscope Records. Listen HERE.
Stefani recorded “Somebody Else’s” backed by a full live band at Smoakstack Studios with award-winning producer Scott Hendricks. It’s the same crew she worked with on the rest of Bouquet. The new single is an outlier in that it looks back, but only long enough to take stock of the present.
The insight, vulnerability, confidence, and raw honesty that Stefani displays— not to mention the timelessness of the music — may offer a hint of what’s to come. Of course, Stefani’s ability to keep us guessing has been a large part of her staying power and perennial appeal.
A three-time GRAMMY® Award winner, Stefani has achieved global success as a performer, songwriter, and frontwoman of No Doubt, and as a multi-platinum solo artist, among numerous other accomplishments. To date, she’s sold more than 60 million units worldwide. Her 2015 solo album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. She also previously spent seven seasons as a coach on the Emmy®-winning NBC series The Voice — and returns for an eighth on September 23.

Moët Hennessy and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter Launch Groundbreaking New Whisky – SirDavis
The award-winning spirit offers a new, unexpected take on American whisky.
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has joined forces with Moët Hennessy, a subsidiary of LVMH, to create SirDavis, a groundbreaking new whisky. The first-of-its-kind joint venture reflects a shared vision between Knowles-Carter and Moët Hennessy, two vanguards of culture and craft, around the future of American whisky.
This unique product was years in the making after Knowles-Carter, a Japanese whisky enthusiast, sought out Moët Hennessy to help craft a one-of-a-kind flavor profile that reflected her whisky ideal. Meanwhile, Moët Hennessy had been exploring ways to deepen its presence in the American whisky market, making the timing kismet for a partnership between the world-leading luxury group and Knowles-Carter.
“I’ve always been drawn to the power and confidence I feel when drinking quality whisky and wanted to invite more people to experience that feeling,” says SirDavis Founder Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. “When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whisky was fated. SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy. In partnering with Moët Hennessy, we have crafted a delicious American whisky that respects tradition but also empowers people to experience something new and unique in the category. You can taste it better than I could ever tell you — welcome, SirDavis.”
SirDavis is named in honor of Davis Hogue, Knowles-Carter’s paternal great-grandfather, who was a farmer and a moonshiner in the American South during Prohibition. He stashed whisky bottles in the empty knots of cedar trees for friends and kin to find and enjoy. For Knowles-Carter, it was this discovery that made the idea of creating a whisky brand feel predestined. Four generations later, the legacy comes to life – rather than hidden in the trees, bottles of SirDavis proudly grace the top shelves of fine purveyors of spirits around the world.
“SirDavis is not only a revelatory and exceptional American Whisky, which we are very proud of. It is also a testament of the unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, heritage and innovation shared by LVMH and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter,” said Bernard Arnault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LVMH.
Moët Hennessy tapped Dr. Bill Lumsden, one of the world’s most awarded and highly regarded Master Distillers for his work on Scotch whisky brands Glenmorangie and Ardbeg, to lead on whisky creation.
Lumsden selected the brand’s bespoke mash bill — one of the rarest new offerings in the world of American whisky composed of 51% rye and 49% malted barley — to serve as the backbone of the liquid. Lumsden then combined traditional whisky-making techniques to impart an elegant mouthfeel and texture reminiscent of Japanese and Scotch whiskies, while retaining the robust and deep flavors typical of classic American rye.
“With SirDavis, we looked to challenge the category norms and offer something new in the space,” said Lumsden. “The distinctive grain selection and unusual secondary maturation in sherry casks helped us achieve a signature profile completely unique to SirDavis, one of bold sophistication.”
Moët Hennessy and Knowles-Carter’s shared commitment to excellence was key to the partnership and the product. To validate SirDavis’s quality, the liquid was anonymously submitted to numerous prestigious spirits competitions prior to launch. SirDavis won Best In Class for American Whiskey from the 2023 SIP Awards, outperforming over 100 other entries in the category. Awarded to only one brand per category, this award is reserved for premium spirits receiving scores in the pinnacle of their respective categories and is SIP’s highest acclaim from consumer judges.
Other notable scores include a Gold Medal (95 points) from the 2023 New York International Spirits Competition and a 93-point rating from the 2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
Knowles-Carter also lent her visionary artistic direction to the brand’s bottle design – a tall, eye-catching bottle with intentional design elements that make the vessel an unmistakable beacon of luxury.
The SirDavis bottle is striking and clean, with ribbed glass that beautifully catches light and highlights the liquid. It also features a black medallion with a regal bronzed horse, emblematic of strength and respect and symbolizing Knowles-Carter’s Texas roots.
In another nod to Knowles-Carter’s Southern heritage, the whisky is finished, blended and bottled in her home state of Texas. Unlike other acquired brands, SirDavis also makes history as Moët Hennessy’s first spirits brand developed entirely internally by Moët Hennessy in the United States. SirDavis is headquartered out of Houston, Texas.
SirDavis retails for $89 and is available for pre-order via SirDavis.com. Product will be available at retail across the U.S. as well as in select airports (LAX/JFK/SFO) and stores in London, Paris, and Tokyo in September 2024.
ABOUT SIRDAVIS AMERICAN WHISKY
A first-of-its-kind joint venture, SirDavis reflects a shared vision between Moët Hennessy and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter around the future of American whisky. With a distinctive taste profile that delights both seasoned whisky connoisseurs and new enthusiasts, SirDavis is on a mission to redefine the category and invite new consumers to feel welcome to participate in the world of luxury whisky.
Crafted with Moet Hennessy’s own five-time International Whisky Competition Master Distiller of the Year Dr. Bill Lumsden, SirDavis offers a one-of-a-kind taste profile that redefines the taste of American whisky with inspiration from Japanese and Scottish styles. In an evolution from category norms, the SirDavis mash bill includes 51% rye and a noteworthy 49% barley. The spirit’s secondary maturation in sherry casks resulted in its silky, sophisticated profile with layers of dark red fruits and spices like clove and cinnamon. This duality of rounding out rye’s characteristically spicy notes with structured flavors of juicy red fruit offers an entirely new interpretation of this spirit, suitable for connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The award-winning liquid received Platinum and was named Best In Class by the 2023 SIP Awards, 95 points and Gold from the 2023 New York International Spirits Competition, and 93 points from the 2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. SirDavis is finished, blended and bottled in Knowles-Carter’s home state of Texas.

Grosjean returns to SC63 alongside Caldarelli and Cairoli for penultimate Endurance round of the year
Lamborghini Iron Lynx returns to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship this weekend for the penultimate round of the Michelin Endurance Cup (MEC) at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Having contested the previous MEC round at Watkins Glen with a two-driver line-up, Lamborghini Iron Lynx returns to full capacity this weekend as Romain Grosjean teams up with fellow factory drivers Matteo Cairoli and Andrea Caldarelli in the #63 Lamborghini SC63. The trio last raced together at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where they finished a creditable 13.
Despite their race ending in retirement due to a cooling issue with the SC63, Caldarelli and Cairoli were able to showcase the improved performance of the #63 car in the Sahlen’s 6 Hours of the Glen in June. The car recorded its best qualifying performance of the season so far and ran strongly inside the top five during the race, running as high as third due to good strategic calls amid changeable weather conditions.
The GT Daytona (GTD) line-ups remain unchanged, with Sarah Bovy, Rahel Frey, and Michelle Gatting again joining forces in the #83 Iron Dames Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2. Fresh off the back of a podium finish in the Sprint race at Virginia International Raceway last month, the #78 Forte Racing Huracán of Loris Spinelli and Misha Goikhberg is once again completed with the addition of Devlin DeFrancesco. Meanwhile, in the other full season entry, Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America regular Graham Doyle returns to the #45 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti car alongside Kyle Marcelli and Danny Formal.
Due to a calendar clash with the Fanatec GT World Challenge Endurance Cup race at Monza, the #19 Iron Lynx Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 features a revised driver line-up this weekend, with DTM regulars Maximilian Paul and Luca Engstler joining the team, the latter making his IMSA debut. The German duo are both members of Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s young driver talent pool, with Paul an official Young Professional Driver and Engstler part of the GT3 Junior Driver roster.
Track Description
The Indianapolis Road Course is a 14-turn, 2.439-mile (3.925km) track which starts and finishes on the famous main straight – running in the opposite direction – of the Speedway, crossing the line of bricks which gives the venue its nickname, the Brickyard. A narrow and technical track, there are three big braking areas, namely the first turn where the cars arrive at maximum terminal speed and turn seven following the high-speed chicane of turns five and six and the backstraight. Overtaking and negotiating lapped traffic will likely cause a few headaches during the race, particularly in the final sector. Additionally, with a lap-time of just over 70-seconds, quick pit work and effective strategy will play a key role in staying on the lead lap for as long as possible.
How keen are you to get back in the car after missing Watkins Glen?
“I’m very excited to be back in the car this weekend, I kept an eye on Watkins and the recent WEC round at COTA, but I was able to get a bit of a refresher in the SC63 with the tyre test at COTA. But I’m very keen to get back, IMSA is a great championship with really high competition, and I know the track very well.”
What are the main challenges of the Indy Road Course and what is the key to a good lap-time?
“It’s a very flat track, and it has a lot of big braking zones into slow-speed corners, so this is quite a big challenge. And then the 7, 8, 9 sequence of corners is quite tricky, so you need to use a lot of kerbs. I think the flat nature of the track should help us a bit compared to the bumpy tracks we’ve been at before at Sebring.”
You’ve done well at this track before in IndyCar, what are you hoping to achieve in IMSA?
“The aim is to keep improving the car and continue the development and learning curve this weekend. I think we are getting better and better, and so the objective is to try and get the best result we can with this beautiful car in Indy.”
How do you assess the first season with the SC63 so far?
“The reliability has been one of the biggest strengths of the car which is great. I think we have a very good baseline to develop for the future; of course, there are a few things which all of us drivers and engineers want to see on the car going forward but overall, I would say that it has been a very positive team with the entire Lamborghini Squadra Corse team.”
