This proves that she flawlessly follows her grandma's dutie, no matter where she is. As far as the Cowboy Carter tour goes, the clips from the show are going viral, and the Beyhive can't keep their calm over the same, as many have been talking about her dance routines and amazing outfits.

Hey Dude Partners with Feet Finder on Fake ‘HeyNudes' Collection for April Fools' Day
Are you tired of shoes that hide your feet — and others' feet — from the world? Hey Dude has a solution for that — enter HeyNudes, a clear shoe created in partnership with Feet Finder that lets your feet be the star of the show. April Fools'! More from Footwear News Meg Donnelly Picks All Green in Minidress and Open Toe Platform Charles & Keith Shoes to 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards 'Global Force' Jennie Stands Tall in Celeb-Loved Amina Muaddi Platform at 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards Hey Dude is getting in on the mischief of April 1 and poking fun at 'feet pic' culture with a fake collaboration with Feet Finder, a platform for buying and selling photos of feet. To be clear, no pun intended, the transparent shoes are not really being sold by the Crocs Inc.-owned brand. Through social content, however, customers are instructed to send feet pics but are actually rerouted to a speciality collection with a 41% off discount (in honor of the 4/1 date). The deal is going on for only 48 hours. This unexpected collaboration follows Hey Dude's faux campaign with Texas Road House for last year's April Fools' Day. In 2024, the brand posted photos of shoes printed with the restaurant logo and baskets of rolls. It became a viral moment for the brand, with fans wanting the shoes to actually be available for purchase. With its new Feet Finder April Fools' Day joke, Hey Dude is leaning into unconventional marketing to reach new customers and get people talking. Elsewhere in Hey Dude world, the comfort-focused brand released its second shoe with Jelly Roll, who serves as a brand ambassador. Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney maintains her title as Director of Dude, serving as a global ambassador for the brand. She starred in the brand's Fashion Crisis Hotline campaign, released in February, which showcased the Austin Lift style, a platform slip-on shoe. 'The Austin Lift, which is like my new absolute favorite shoe, is perfect for any fashion emergency,' Sweeney said in an interview. 'It's light and it's comfortable, and I'm such a short girl, so I always like a little bit of a boost, and anything that has a little bit of a platform I'm really happy with. So, it just makes me feel really confident and I love that.'

Meghan Trainor hoping to connect with country songwriters at Billboard event Show Caption Hide Caption Meghan Trainor reveals she'd like to have another baby in 2025 Meghan Trainor tells USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa at iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball that she'd like to expand her family and write music in 2025. The singer is being honored with the "Hitmaker Award" at the upcoming Billboard Women in Music Awards. Trainor expressed her desire to collaborate with country artists like Megan Moroney and Mickey Guyton. She is also promoting a partnership with Arm & Hammer while supporting her best friend Chris Olsen on tour. Meghan Trainor is all about that bass, that family and those detergent sheets. The mom of two is breathing a sigh of relief following her Timeless Tour that stretched across the U.S. last fall, visiting cities from Mansfield, Massachusetts, to Inglewood, California. "It's like you've accomplished the hardest physical and emotional thing in two months," she says over Zoom. Her smile beams through the camera. " I can't imagine how people do it for years. I salute them. I think they're heroes." Her husband, Daryl Sabara, and kids, Barry and Riley, joined her on the road. Trainor's one rule is she doesn't spend more than a week away from the loves of her life. "Riley won't stop talking about the tour," she says. "Every day was an adventure. Every day we got in a new car and on a new bus to go to a museum or aquarium." More: Meghan Trainor calls Nashville her 'pretend second home,' talks first tour in seven years Trainor is gearing up for her next event, hoping to rub elbows with fellow stars at the Billboard Women in Music Awards.
