Nezza says she sang national anthem in Spanish at Dodger Stadium against team's wishes
Singer and social media personality Nezza sang the national anthem in Spanish at Dodger Stadium on Saturday night. And, according to a video the performer later posted to social media, she did so against the wishes of the Dodgers organization. In a video Nezza, whose full name is Vanessa Hernández, posted to TikTok, an unidentified Dodgers employee is heard telling her before Saturday's performance that 'we are going to do the song in English today, so I'm not sure if that wasn't relayed.' Then, the video cuts to Nezza — who was wearing a Dominican Republic shirt — signing a Spanish version of the Star-Spangled Banner on the field ahead of the Dodgers' win against the San Francisco Giants. The video's caption: 'So I did it anyway.' In a separate video, Nezza said the version of the song she sang was commissioned in 1945 by the U.S. State Department under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and that she wanted to sing it amid the recent unrest in Los Angeles stemming from raids by ICE agents. 'I didn't think I would be met with any sort of no, especially because we're in LA and with everything happening,' she said. 'But today out of all days, I just could not believe when she [the Dodgers employee] walked in and told me 'no.' But I just felt like I needed to do it. Para mi gente.' The Dodgers did not respond to a request for comment. In general, the Dodgers have largely been quiet about the raids and resulting protests in the city over the last week. Manager Dave Roberts has been asked about the situation twice. On Monday, he said that, 'I just hope that we can be a positive distraction for what people are going through in Los Angeles right now.' On Friday, he offered little further comment: 'I know that when you're having to bring people in and deport people, all the unrest, it's certainly unsettling for everyone,' he said, 'But I haven't dug enough and can't speak intelligently on it.' Veteran Kiké Hernández spoke out on Instagram on Saturday, writing that 'I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights.' The Dodgers, however, have not issued any team-level statement, and a club executive told The Times' Dylan Hernández on Friday that they did not plan to make any comment.

Beyoncé's global impact felt at London shows: 'I've moved to England because of Beyoncé'
Beyoncé's global impact felt at London shows: 'I've moved to England because of Beyoncé' Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour is keeping the momentum going in London, with fans from all over the world continuing to flock to the city to witness the international spectacle. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her June 14 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. The show marked her fifth of six shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. Her last show in London is set for June 16, before she heads to Paris for three nights. And while the first U.K. show debuted over a week ago on June 5, fans continue to travel from across the globe, keeping the excitement alive for each show. 'I've moved to England because of Beyoncé' "I've moved to England because of Beyoncé. That was about 15 years ago," says Patrycja Lesiakowska, who attended multiple shows in London along with her best friend from London, Chichi Mbagwu. Lesiakowska says she became a huge fan back when Beyoncé released her 2006 album "B-Day," and she would go on to listen to that album and all the ones that followed on repeat. "I realized that she never came to Poland, and I needed to see Beyoncé live. I needed to witness it. I had a brother that lived in England. So I took my opportunity to move to England to see Beyoncé during 'Sasha Fierce.' And I signed myself up for college, went to university and stayed in England because I loved it," she says. "And I've seen Beyoncé ever since. But the best thing about it, I've also learned English because of Beyoncé." She says she used Google translate to understand her song lyrics and her interviews when she was 15 years old and would eventually learn the language. 'She taught me English' "So she taught me English. She changed my life. I'm here. I met my best friend. I got a career I wanted," Lesiakowska says. "I live in an amazing country and I have the opportunity to see Beyoncé all the time. But we actually follow her all over the world." Mbagwu and and Lesiakowska met through Beyoncé nearly 15 years ago when they both attended a House of Deréon launch in London and have remained friends since. They've attended her shows together over the years and plan to return to the stadium for her final London concert — their 52nd show together. "I feel honored that I'm able to witness it. I think it's such a huge moment and a huge movement," Mbagwu says. And while "Cowboy Carter" is rich with American history, the impact is profound all over the world. "I think it personally resonates a lot because I think there's been a lot of erasure of Black people," Mbagwu says. "A lot of culture comes from Black people, and I think that's kind of lost down the line in terms of, you know, appropriation. The artistry, the message behind the songs and the way she of invokes her art — it's artwork. Genuinely 'Cowboy Carter' is artwork." 'Attending Beyoncé's tour in London felt significant' Other fans traveled from Australia, Italy, the U.S. and everywhere in between. And it's clear no matter what pocket of the world, Beyoncé's impact and messages have not only been heard but felt. "London is a city that carries such a vibrant energy," says Brendan Thomas, who traveled from West Yorkshire, England, for the show. "It's a cultural melting pot where art, music and people collide in the most inspiring ways. Attending Beyoncé's tour in London felt significant because it's one of those cities where the audience truly matches her energy." He added: "The album feels deeply personal and unapologetic like Beyoncé inviting us into her world while reminding us of our own power. It resonates because it's not just music. It's a statement of freedom, resilience and joy." As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her tour has been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The June 14 show was no different as she debuted more looks and delivered another high-energy show. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Delicious in Dungeon Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 14, 2025, 19:17 IST With its unique blend of fantasy, comedy, and culinary creativity. Following the success of its first season, Studio Trigger announced a second season, leaving fans eager for more adventures with Laios and his party. In this article, we'll dive into everything we know about Delicious in Dungeon Season 2. Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 Release Date Speculation As of June 2025, no official release date for Delicious in Dungeon Season 2 has been confirmed. However, several clues point to a potential timeline: Production Status : Studio Trigger confirmed that Season 2 is in production as of August 2024, announced via the anime's official X account. Industry Trends : Anime sequels typically take 1–2 years after the first season's finale. Since Season 1 ended on June 13, 2024, fans can expect Season 2 to premiere between summer 2025 and winter 2026 . Studio Trigger's Schedule: The studio is also working on New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt , which may impact the timeline. A late 2025 or early 2026 release seems likely. While some reports speculate a 2026 release, the rapid announcement post-Season 1 suggests Studio Trigger may prioritize Delicious in Dungeon due to its popularity. Fans should watch for updates from Studio Trigger, Kadokawa, or Netflix for an official date. Who's Returning for Season 2? The main voice actors from Season 1 are expected to reprise their roles, given the quick renewal and no reports of scheduling conflicts. The confirmed cast includes: Laios Touden : Kentarō Kumagai (Japanese), Damien Haas (English) Marcille Donato : Sayaka Senbongi (Japanese), Emily Rudd (English) Chilchuck Tims : Asuna Tomari (Japanese), Casey Mongillo (English) Senshi : Hiroshi Naka (Japanese), SungWon Cho (English) Izutsumi : Mitsuho Kambe (Japanese), Laura Stahl (English) Falin Touden : Saori Hayami (Japanese), Lisa Reimold (English) Kabru: Wataru Katō (Japanese), Cedric Williams (English) Plot Details: What to Expect in Season 2 Delicious in Dungeon Season 1 adapted the first 52 chapters of Ryoko Kui's manga, covering seven of its 14 story arcs. Season 2 will pick up from Chapter 53, starting with the First Floor Interlude Arc, and is expected to explore the remaining arcs, potentially concluding the series. Season 1's 24 episodes adapted roughly two chapters per episode. With 45 chapters remaining (Chapters 53–97), a 24-episode Season 2 could adapt the entire manga. However, if Season 2 has only 12 episodes, a third season may be needed. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
