Aug. 15 (UPI) -- South Korean boy band Stray Kids is teasing a new music video, which will accompany the release of its upcoming album, titled Karma.
The new music follows the K-pop group's debut mixtape, Hop, which dropped in December.
A music video teaser released Friday for the song "Ceremony" indicates the members of Stray Kids will compete in various sports, as they seen entering an arena.
In a trailer for the album, an apparent newscaster says, "The global sporting event that returns every year -- The 2081 Karma Sports Event... is known to have eight players participating. Will they be able to break the past records?"
He appears to be referring to the band members -- Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N.
The album arrives Aug. 22 and will contain the songs "Bleep," "Ceremony," "Creed," "Mess," "In My Head," "Half Time," "Phoenix," "Ghost," "0801" and a festival version of "Ceremony."
The music video for "Ceremony" will also drop that day.

Taylor Swift is reinventing her style for a 'Showgirl' era. There's a reason for that.

Swift recently unveiled a series of extravagant outfits for her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl," featuring plenty of crystals and scalloped diamonds. Another album, another standout sartorial era. On Wednesday night, Taylor Swift unveiled the track list and album artwork for her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, which will be released on Oct. 3. Just as the album's title suggests, Swift has so far referenced burlesque imagery in her looks, with feathered boas, opulent headpieces and scalloped diamonds fit for the most glamorous burlesque dancer. With help from luxury houses like Area, The Blonds and Rene Caovilla, Swift's Showgirl era is already underscoring that more is more — and that a true Vegas showgirl always embraces excess. For the album cover of The Life of a Showgirl, Swift wore an intricate, crystal-embellished minidress with a balconette-style bra and scalloped cutouts from embellishment designer Area. The garment hails from the brand's spring 2022 collection and is a nod to what Vogue describes as 'the glitz of an off-duty Vegas dancer.' Art Deco-inspired glamour appears to be the theme of Swift's recently unveiled Showgirl era. Also among her featured album artwork ensembles is a rhinestone-encrusted, deep red one-piece with a corseted bodice and pointed accents along the bust from The Blonds fall-winter 2024 collection. Swift completed the look with matching opera gloves and knee-high boots, along with her signature fishnet tights. Swift's voluminous ostrich feather Showgirl look is from The Blond's fall 2025 collection too. Sarah Chappelle, a Swift-focused fashion critic, notes how the brand's designers previously said that their muse for this specific collection was a 'model, showgirl, it-girl, or an actress' — appropriate descriptors for Swift's Deco-coded sartorial era. The False God hitmaker paired the extravagant, light pink getup with a crystal headpiece and chandelier wrap-around sandals by Rene Caovilla. Swift's Showgirl style is capturing the attention of both Swifties and high-fashion aficionados in general. Jack Savoie, a stylist and content creator, was delighted by Swift's commitment to the maximalist allure of Vegas showgirl dressing. 'This era is pure glamour,' Savoie told Yahoo. 'The crystals, sweeping feathers, and gorgeous heels. It's a celebration of beauty and craftsmanship. I think it's right on trend especially after Pamela Anderson's role in The Last Showgirl. Showgirl dressing requires lots of time, details, craftsmanship and artistry, and I can only imagine the joy her stylist, Joseph Cassell Falconer, is having creating these unforgettable looks.' That Swift is clad in decadent designs isn't anything new. The Guilty as Sin pop star has proved herself to be a high-fashion darling, as she made clear with the slew of custom designer looks she wore during her record-breaking Eras Tour, which concluded late last year. Vivienne Westwood, Roberto Cavalli and Alberta Ferretti are just a handful of designers who helped bring Swift's distinct eras to life through fashion. With The Life of a Showgirl, Swift takes the glitz and glamour peppered through prior eras to showstopping new heights. She first gave audiences a taste of her Showgirl inclinations with the 'Bejeweled' music video from her Midnights era, tapping famed burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese to re-create her sultry martini-glass dance in the video. In another scene from the video, Swift has a major Moulin Rouge! moment in a custom, crystal two-piece designed by Michael Schmidt Studios. While on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast, New Heights, Wednesday night, Swift unveiled the inspiration behind The Life of a Showgirl era: She wanted to dramatize the realities of life on the road. Swift visited 21 countries over the course of 21 months during the Eras Tour, which kicked off in March 2023 and concluded in December 2024. Clocking in 149 shows across five continents, it became the highest-grossing tour of all time. 'My day ends with me in a bathtub, not usually in a bedazzled dress. … I wanted to sort of, like, glamorize all the aspects of how the tour felt,' Swift said on the podcast. 'The reason I wanted to have an offstage moment as the main album cover is because this album isn't really about what happened to me onstage. It's about what I was going through offstage.'

Ronnie O'Sullivan makes two maximum breaks in Saudi Arabia Masters semi-final

Ronnie O'Sullivan hit two maximum breaks in his 6-3 victory over Chris Wakelin in the semi-finals of the Saudi Arabia Masters. The 49-year-old had to wait seven years since his last 147 break at the English Open in 2018, and two hours later he achieved his 17th career maximum and second of the night. O'Sullivan's first 147 came in the opening frame of the match and with the scores locked at 3-3, the Rocket completed a second to earn a £147,000 bonus for making two maximum breaks across the UK Championship, Masters, World Championship and Saudi Arabia Masters. Ronnie also slotted breaks of 134 and 142 in a dominant display and will take on Neil Robertson in the final of the competition. O'Sullivan told TNT Sports: 'I'm sitting there at 3-3 thinking I'm probably going to lose this game after a maxi, a 142 and a 70 clearance. 'He (Wakelin) is a monster. I said he's going to win a ranking event, he's so solid. He's better than solid, solid is a compliment, he's very reliable but he's got more than that. It's like Kyren Wilson. As a player he's very hard to break down. He's a superb competitor, superb player.' Robertson beat Elliot Slessor 6-3 to reach the final before revealing he had met his pre-season goal of qualifying for the Tour Championship. Former world champion Robertson was never headed in Jeddah as he made the 39th ranking final of his career. 'This is the biggest tournament we have until the World Championship,' Robertson told TNT Sports. 'With the ranking points available, I don't have to worry about playing in the Invitational or the Tour Championship. 'I set a goal at the start of the season to get into the Tour Championship. 'That was my only goal and I've done that already in the first tournament. It's nice it takes care of the rest of the season.' Englishman Slessor, 29th in the official world rankings but set to rise several places after picking up the biggest cheque of his career, won the third frame with a 92 break. Robertson responded with 93 against his regular practice partner and a crucial pink down the rail in the seventh frame put him in control at 5-2. 'We practice a lot with each other and there's usually heavy scoring,' said the Australian. 'We tried to make things happen but the balls ran awkward, and we both missed some tricky pots that led to scrappy frames. 'Knowing him well, if I wasn't playing him I would have wanted him to win the match. It's quite tough but you've got to put that aside.' Robertson sealed matters with his second 93 break to book his place in Saturday's final.
