Yahoo19-05-2025

Billie Eilish is bringing the ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour to downtown Phoenix for two nights at PHX Arena on Nov. 18-19, 2025.
Eilish played Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, in December 2024. Eilish was hit in the face with what appeared to be a flying bracelet at that show.
New dates added to the tour include two nights at Tokyo's Saitama Super Arena on Aug. 16 and 17, followed by a second U.S. leg this fall with stops in Miami and Orlando, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; New Orleans; Austin, Texas; and more.
The tour will now span 106 dates, concluding on Nov. 23, at Chase Center in San Francisco more than a year after it kicked off in fall 2024.
Eilish is currently touring across Europe, Ireland and the U.K., where she'll headline six sold-out nights at The O2 in London.
The tour has featured multiple-night stops in several cities, including five sold-out hometown shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and three sold-out nights at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
Tickets will be available starting with an American Express Presale beginning at noon on May 20, while supplies last. Terms available at ticketmaster.com.
The general on sale begins at noon on May 22 at billieeilish.com.
Eilish is using Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange to give fans, not scalpers, the best chance to buy tickets at face value. Tickets will be nontransferable and the tour may cancel tickets posted elsewhere for more than face value.
In New York, where resale can't legally be restricted, tickets will be transferable.
Fans can still buy and sell their tickets at the original price paid on Ticketmaster.

Billie Eilish's New Single Matches The One That Made Her A Star

Billie Eilish's 'Wildflower' ties 'Bad Guy' as her second-longest-charting song on the Hot 100, ... More hitting 49 weeks on the tally. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Billie Eilish performs onstage during the 67th GRAMMY Awards at Arena on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Billie Eilish's most recent album Hit Me Hard and Soft recently celebrated its first birthday. The singer-songwriter released her third full-length in May 2024, and it was immediately welcomed as both a commercial and critical success. As the album continues to overperform across the Billboard rankings, two of its most popular songs are still present on the Hot 100, the most important tally for individual tracks in the U.S. Thanks to one more stay on that list, Eilish's current single reaches a very special milestone. "Wildflower," the current focus track from Hit Me Hard and Soft, is still charting on the Hot 100. At the moment, it marks 49 weeks on Billboard's ranking of the most-consumed tracks in the country. As "Wildflower" reaches 49 frames on the Hot 100, it ties with "Bad Guy" as her second-longest-charting track of all time on the competitive tally. While both "Wildflower" and "Bad Guy" have spent 49 weeks apiece on the Hot 100, their chart journeys have been quite different. "Bad Guy" debuted in April 2019 and reached No. 1 by August, becoming Eilish's first – and so far, only – leader. "Wildflower," however, opened at what turned out to be its peak, debuting on the Hot 100 in June 2024. Despite its longevity, "Wildflower" has only ever climbed as high as No. 17. This week, "Wildflower" declines more than 10 spaces, dipping from No. 44 to No. 58 on the Hot 100. That's a relatively low position for a cut that's nearing a full year on the roster, and it's not even Eilish's highest-rising smash at the moment. "Birds of a Feather" remains the longest-charting tune in Eilish's catalog on the Hot 100. Last frame, it became her first one-year charter. Now, it has collected a total of 53 appearances somewhere on the list. Currently, "Birds of a Feather" drops from No. 12 to No. 17 after peaking at No. 2, where it became one of Eilish's most successful releases to date – and one of two to stall in the runner-up space, joining 'Therefore I Am.'

What Taylor Swift buying her masters means for her — and the music industry

By now, we know all too well about the power of Taylor Swift. With her epic Eras Tour alone, the pop superstar went from crashing Ticketmaster to boosting the economy in every city she visited to going around the movie studio system for its theatrical concert film. But Swift's latest power move may be her biggest one yet: The 'Anti-Hero' singer finally bought back the master recordings of her first six studio albums — from her 2006 self-titled debut to 2017's 'Reputation.' Advertisement 4 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright,' wrote Taylor Swift in a letter to fans about getting her masters back. taylorswift/Instagram In 2019, Scooter Braun gained control of Swift's masters after he acquired her former label, Big Machine Records, which owned the rights. After attempts to buy back her catalog from Braun failed, Swift began re-recording her albums and releasing 'Taylor's Versions' of them, beginning with 'Fearless' and 'Red' in 2021 and then 'Speak Now' and '1989' in 2023. Then, in 2020, Braun turned around and sold Swift's Big Machine catalog to Shamrock Capital for reportedly over $300 million. Advertisement Five years later, though, Swift's music is now back where it belongs. 'All the music I've ever made … now belongs … to me,' she wrote in a letter to fans on her website. 'Every single era. My entire life's work.' Now, Swift's first six studio LPs have joined her last five recorded for Republic Records under her ownership. 4 Taylor Swift described buying the masters of her first six studio albums as 'my greatest dream come true.' taylorswift/Instagram Advertisement 'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it,' she continued. 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy.' In an Instagram post proudly displaying her albums, Swift simply wrote, 'You belong with me.' It's a boss move that few in the music business — or any other entertainment field — could pull off, but Swift has the big bucks to do it, reportedly paying around $360 million, according to Billboard. 4 Taylor Swift hand-wrote a letter to fans on her website about the importance of getting her masters back. Taylor Swift Advertisement But it's the principle that probably mattered more to Swift than the money. She had already convinced her legions of Swifties to buy and stream the re-recorded versions of her first six albums, effectively devaluing her original masters. In fact, fans were hoping that she would announce the 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' release at Sunday's American Music Awards. 'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it,' she wrote in her letter while revealing that she has already re-recorded all of 2006's 'Taylor Swift.' Swift had started a movement with other artists such as Demi Lovato, Paramore and 98 Degrees following her lead. She even forced record labels to rework and rethink contracts to put stricter limits on re-recordings. 4 Before making her latest power move, Taylor Swift wrapped her epic Eras Tour last December in Vancouver. Getty Images for TAS Rights Management But for Swift, that wasn't enough. At a time when many artists are selling their catalogs for major money — from Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan to Katy Perry and Justin Bieber — ownership meant everything to her. This was personal. And while it's not something that every act can afford or demand, it certainly makes a strong statement about the fundamental right of being in charge of the music that you create. For Swift, you can't really put a price on it — and she couldn't just shake it off. As a woman especially, Swift felt bullied by the men in the industry who didn't take her seriously enough and sought to control her. She took a stand against them that, with her enormous influence, greatly impacted and emboldened her largely female fan base. Advertisement As a businesswoman, Swift has always been savvy. And now this will be as much a part of her legacy as becoming the first artist to win four Album of the Year Grammys. She's in her Ownership Era now.

Shakira concert canceled in Washington DC a day after nixed show in Boston

A day after her Boston concert was canceled, Shakira's tour is suffering another setback. The popstar's scheduled show in Washington, D.C. — which was part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and WorldPride DC 2025's Welcome Concert — on May 31 has also been canceled. The reasoning was "due to complications with the previous show in Boston," according to a statement released by Nationals Park May 30. "Shakira's full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance," the statement read. "As a result, the D.C. show has been canceled. Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned." Ticketholders will automatically receive refunds for Ticketmaster and purchases. Those who purchased from a third party should contact the seller. Shakira shared a statement about her heartbreak over the show's cancellation, writing, "Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am sad and heartbroken that I will not be able to be in Washington, D.C. with you tomorrow. I hope that I can come back to D.C., as soon as I am able. "Meanwhile, please know that I am eternally thankful for your unconditional support." In a May 30 statement to USA TODAY, Live Nation said the cancelation of several shows at Fenway Park was due to issues discovered during routine checks before the Shakira show. "Structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe," the statement said. The issue also affected upcoming shows from Jason Aldean and Brooks & Dunn. Shakira is next scheduled to perform in Atlanta June 2. The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour kicked off in South America in February and began its North American leg May 13. Opening up about the work that went into the tour, Shakira recently told USA TODAY, "I've worked so much on every detail of this show. I'm building the biggest setlist of my career. "There are going to be visuals I created, the narrative and the details of them. There are 145 people on this tour to make it happen every night," she explained. "I've created original music for the transitions in the show, new choreography and arrangements. I have 13 costume changes, so all of what I've learned these years of making music, I feel like this is a recap of that journey."
