Lizzo Returns With New Single 'Love in Real Life' and Intimate Fan Shows
'Everything was so much simpler, and that's exactly what I need. No views, no likes, real love in real life,' Lizzo says to kick off her latest music video for her new single 'Love in Real Life.'
The rock-inspired pop song is the Grammy-winning artist's first solo release in nearly three years; she hasn't released an album since 2022 but did participate in the 2023 Barbie soundtrack. 'Love in Real Life' will be featured on her upcoming album of the same name.

In the song's music video, directed by Colin Tilley, the 36-year-old is decked out in a studded leather jacket, leaning into the 90s feel she seemingly took inspiration from. 'Love in Real Life' ends with a Michael Jackson-esque choreography sequence showing Lizzo leading a gaggle of dancers.
The singer also announced a trio of shows 'to celebrate the start of this chapter,' according to a release. Lizzo is set to play The Wiltern in Los Angeles on March 12 before heading to New York on March 16 for a show at Irving Plaza. She'll finish at First Avenue in Minneapolis on March 18.
Lizzo has been teasing new music for quite some time. On Feb. 13, she posted an Instagram video of herself spray painting and reciting 'Bye Bitch' over her 2022 album, Special, with a caption that read: 'End of an Era.'
The singer first teased new music on a December episode of Keke Palmer's podcast, Baby, This is Keke Palmer. 'My album is done. I'm so happy. People thought that I was on a gap year but mama was in the studio,' Lizzo said on the episode.
On that podcast, Lizzo also addressed the lawsuit filed against her by some of her tour dancers, who alleged they were sexually harassed and victims of a hostile workplace environment. 'I was literally living in my dream, and then the tour ended, and three ex-dancers just completely, like, blindsided me with a lawsuit,' she said.
'You can ask me anything about it because I got dismissed from the case,' Lizzo told Palmer. 'We're continuing to fight the other claims until they're all dismissed — not dropped, but dismissed,' she added, saying it was 'a big victory.'
Presale for Lizzo's upcoming shows starts on March 5 and general sale begins on March 6.

Latest Historic Announcement Puts Taylor Swift in Rare Company
Latest Historic Announcement Puts Taylor Swift in Rare Company originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records and making history. Her 'Eras Tour,' which wrapped up last December and hit 51 cities across two years, shattered the previous record for the highest-grossing tour of all-time ($2.2 billion), and she's been breaking new records ever since she announced she bought back the master recordings of his first six albums — 'Taylor Swift,' 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation.' And now, the 14-time Grammy winner and girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has accomplished another notable feat worthy of celebration. It was announced on Monday that Swift's '1989' album became just the third ever by a female recording artist to spend at least 10 years (520 weeks) in the Billboard 200. Swift's fifth studio album joins Lana Del Rey's 'Born to Die' (572 weeks) and Adele's '21' (615 weeks), which is the best-performing album of all-time in the U.S., spending a record 24 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 charts — the most of any female solo artist. Fans hit social media to react to the news and applaud Swift's latest career milestone. 'Wow! This is a historic achievement! 🔥,' one fan wrote. 'It's her time we better keep it charting,' another added. 'Greatest album of the century,' a third exclaimed. '3 absolute goats,' one user replied. 'The only trio that stay iconic and legendary and masterpiece,' remarked another user. This wasn't the only good news Swift received in the last 24 hours. Her final album 'Reputation,' which was released in 2017 and the final one published under her old label Big Machine Records, jumped 73 spots on the Billboard 200 and reentered the top five for the first time since 2018. Swift's music sales have surged since buying back her masters. While many fans anxiously await her next album, which is rumored to be released near the end of 2025/early 2026, they can catch Swift at Arrowhead Stadium quite a bit during the next NFL season as the 'Blank Space' singer is reportedly planning to attend most of, if not all of the Chiefs' home games in 2025 to support Kelce. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 9, 2025, where it first appeared.

Drew Scott & Linda Phan Gave a Super-Rare Glimpse Into Making the ‘Back-To-Back Birthday Parties for Piper & Parker'
Having kids born close together is a logistics nightmare. When their birthdays are only days or weeks apart, it can be exhausting (and expensive!) to celebrate each child separately. And as a twin, Drew Scott knows the importance of making your kids feel special. That's why he and his wife Linda Phan came up with the coolest party hack to celebrate the 'back-to-back' birthdays of their kids Parker, born on May 4, 2022, and their daughter Piper, born on May 21, 2024. 'Linda and I threw back-to-back birthday parties for Piper and Parker last month, and let's just say…the kids weren't the only ones having a blast! 😄' the Property Brothers star captioned a new post on Instagram. He shared that he and Phan had a great time dressing up and making their own multi-purpose decorations. 'When it comes to hosting, we love getting the kids involved with DIY crafts, finding new ways to repurpose decorations, and keeping things fun and festive without the fuss. (Linda's creativity never ceases to amaze me!) Swipe for inspo➡️🎂,' he added. In the first photo, the couple smile next to a wagon covered in cardboard to turn it into a 'sea lab.' 'Making props with cardboard and paint is a fun way to get kids involved,' Scott explained. His first tip: 'start with a theme.' For Parker's 3rd birthday, the theme was 'under the sea,' and for Piper's first, it was 'French Pâtisserie.' Next, they made cute signage and rhymes to go with the party and set up a photo booth backdrop. For Parker, they put up blue and orange streamers; for Piper, they made a display with flowers and pastries. 'Try décor you can eat!' he suggested. Next up: 'attention to detail.' They wrapped blue paper sharks around paper cups and set up a table with pink glasses and blue-striped napkins. To save money, Scott recommends 'invest[ing] in décor you can reuse multiple times,' like mini disco balls that worked for both parties, and setting up a play and reading area with things they already had around the house. 'Put on a show' was next, as Scott shared photos of Phan, him, and others dressed up to do a puppet show for Parker's party and a live band to play music for Piper's party. Last but not least, have a fabulous cake! Parker's was in the shape of waves with toy sea animals to fit the theme, and Piper's had edible flowers that made for 'beautiful and easy decorations.' They definitely made the whole back-to-back party thing look easy! People praised these nice, yet relatively simple birthday parties in the comments. 'Kiddos parties are the best – love it! ❤️,' one person wrote. Someone else said, 'This is too cute for kids party 🎉 ideas enjoyed the pics' Last month, Scott shared adorable updates about his kids on their birthdays. For Piper, he shared a sweet video montage of one of her favorite things: dancing! 'POV: Your toddler dances to anything and everything,' he wrote over the video, adding in the caption, 'Happy 1st birthday to our little dancing queen! ❤️' When his son Parker turned 3, he wrote a little bit about what his toddler is into right now. 'To my walk and talk compadre, my dino wrangler, my coffee connoisseur, and my little foodie,' the HGTV star wrote on Instagram. 'You've made the past 3 years the best I could have imagined.' He added, 'I love you Parky!! Happy bday.' It may be challenging to celebrate two kids in the same month, but Scott is doing it with style — and he seems to be truly enjoying every minute with his little of SheKnows 27 Times Katherine Schwarzenegger Proved She's the Sweetest Mom 32 Celebrities Who Froze Their Eggs or Embryos From Free-Range to Fully Offbeat, These Celebs Embrace Unconventional Parenting Styles
