Big news: T-Pain is fresh off Coachella and Stagecoach festival performances and heading back to Wiscansin. T-Pain's iconic hits like "Buy You A Drank" and "I'm Sprung" were not only the soundtrack of the mid-2000s, but they are still on replay in my house and we're gonna pretend that it hasn't been almost 20 years since those dropped because that makes me feel old. Despite his list of bangers and being crowned the king of autotune, T-Pain's inaugural Coachella performance wasn't until 2025, when he absolutely rocked it.

He won the first season of 'The Masked Singer' on NBC and he's racked up nearly four million subscribers across his Nappy Boy Entertainment, gaming and T-Pain channels on YouTube, five million on Instagram and nearly five million on TikTok. As part of USA TODAY Shopping's "What's in your cart?" franchise, we connected with T-Pain to discuss his streaming must-haves and new Munchie Meal at Jack in the Box. T-Pain's streaming and gaming must-haves 'I travel...a lot and so I'm not always streaming from one of my home set ups," T-Pain said.

Shaboozey Hits The Road This Fall For The Great American Roadshow Tour
Shaboozey is taking his vocals and vibes on the road this fall. The 29-year-old singer announced his forthcoming tour titled The Great American Roadshow. The month-long trek begins in Indianapolis toward the end of September and will hit major cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and Houston before finishing up in Orlando on Oct. 16. There is currently no opener announced, but the tour is sponsored by Jack Daniels and Coors Light. The artist pre-sale began on Tuesday (April 29) and tickets will be available for the general public on Friday (May 2) at 10 a.m. Check out the tour announcement below to see if the Virginia-born artist will hit a city near you. The Great American Roadshow Tour is in support of Shaboozey's 2024 album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going. Of course, it boasts the Billboard Hot 100 record-breaking chart topper 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' which sampled J-Kwon's 'Tipsy.' Earlier this month, he shared a deluxe version of the album featuring Jelly Roll, Myles Smith, and Sierra Ferrell, headlined by his latest single 'Good News.' The young star racked up five Grammy nominations, one of which was for his appearance on Beyoncé's 'Spaghetti.' That track, and his feature on 'Sweet / Honey / Buckin' both appeared on her country-inspired album Cowboy Carter and were major in helping Shaboozey's breakthrough. 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' was nominated for Song Of The Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance, plus he was also in the mix for Best New Artist. His newfound stardom landed him sets at Coachella and Stagecoach this month, and he will also perform at CMA Fest in Nashville in June and at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Montreal in August. Listen to the deluxe version of Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going below.

Irish hip hop group dropped from TRNSMT lineup due to Police Scotland concerns
Irish hip-hop group Kneecap are still scheduled to headline Wide Awake festival in London on Friday evening despite member Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh being charged with a terror offence. | Getty Images for BFI Announcement comes after an intervention from Police Scotland last week, issuing a statement saying Kneecap performing at TRNSMT festival would require a significant police operation. Ticket holders were told this evening that the group will not be performing at the July concert in Glasgow Green. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Irish hip hop band Kneecap have been taken off the line-up for this year's TRNSMT festival at Glasgow Green. The promoter, DF Concerts, issued an update to all ticket holders this evening: 'Due to concerns expressed by the Police about safety at the event, Kneecap will no longer perform at TRNSMT on Friday, 11 July. We thank fans for their understanding.' Having weathered the intervention of politicians following their appearance at Coachella, support of Palestine and criticism of Israel, the band's scheduled performance in the festival lineup has now been cancelled due to the position of Police Scotland that Kneecap's performance would require a significant policing operation that would be incompatible with the promoter's plan for the opening day of the festival. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Last week, a police spokesperson said: "There was no prior consultation with Police Scotland before acts were booked. Officers have highlighted the potential reaction of such a large audience to this band would require a significant policing operation in order to support the delivery of a safe event. We have also passed on information from the public around safety concerns to allow organisers to make an informed decision on the running of the festival." Consultation with police before the booking of music acts for a festival in Glasgow is not considered to be common practice. When asked for comment this evening, Police Scotland provided the same statement. Kneecap immediately announced a gig at Glasgow's O2 Academy on confirmation of the lineup change: 'To the thousands of people who bought tickets, flights and hotels to see us play, we are is out of our hands. Glasgow has always been a huge city for us. We've played there many many times, with no issues - ever. Make of that what you will. To try to make up for it, we will be at your O2 Academy on Tuesday July 8th. - Pre-sale is tomorrow at 10am in our WhatsApp channel. - General sale is 10am this coming Saturday. ' Police Scotland and the promoter of the festival have been in regular contact regarding the staging of TRNSMT at Glasgow Green, an annual event that has been taking place since 2017. Police Scotland singled out the band in discussions, making representations regarding what they consider to be the local context of Kneecap performing at TRNSMT. Police concerns centred on the potential for football related flashpoints in the area surrounding the festival, the city centre and in the festival due to the rivalry between Celtic and Rangers fans and the Irish republican lyrics of Kneecap. Police registered concerns that the band's performance would require additional policing because of potential crowd reaction. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The move comes after a special police operation for the most recent Celtic v Rangers match. In March, football supporters from The Green Brigade and Rangers' Union Bears ultras groups were kettled by police and denied entry to the Celtic Park after police used Section 60 powers, intended to be used to search individuals for weapons. Supporters were reported to the procurator fiscal for concealing their identity. In April, First Minister John Swinney backed calls for Kneecap to be removed from the lineup for this year's TRNSMT music festival after outrage over a video clip from a performance in 2023. Organisers were urged to drop the Belfast trio over footage from a gig that appeared to show a band member saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." Swinney said the alleged comments "crossed a line" and were unacceptable. He said: 'It would be unacceptable for me for the band to perform on such a stage given the fact their comments are so beyond the pale. I think TRNSMT have got to respond to that.' On 21 May, Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged by the Metropolitan Police after an incident on 21 November 2024 at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, London. Mr Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 18 June. In a statement posted on social media, Kneecap said: "We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves." A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said this evening that the decision to remove the band from the lineup was a matter for the promoter and Police Scotland. Last month, council leader Susan Aitken said the local auhtority would not support a ban on the group performing in the city: 'The UK is a state where MPs have been murdered in recent years. Words can and do matter. That – certainly not on the part of the SNP group – doesn't translate into support for a ban on them playing in Glasgow or indeed anywhere else.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Kneecap have been the focus of intense international scrutiny following their vocal criticism of Israeli military action in Gaza, particularly after their appearance at Coachella. Last month, music artists including Fontaines DC - who appear at TRNSMT on Saturday 12 July - Massive Attack, Dexys and The Pogues, signed an open letter in support of the band saying they face "a clear, concerted attempt to censor and ultimately deplatform the group."

Mr Ó hAnnaidh is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. Kneecap has denied the alleged terror offence and said they will "vehemently defend" themselves. READ MORE: Kneecap member charged with a terror offence The group has also been under international scrutiny for their criticism of Israeli military action in Gaza, particularly after their appearance at Coachella. Last month, several music artists, including Fontaines DC, Massive Attack, Dexys, and The Pogues, signed an open letter in support of the band, stating they face "a clear, concerted attempt to censor and ultimately deplatform the group." Kneecap has criticised what they call "political policing" after one of their members was charged with the alleged terror offence in the UK, describing the case as a "carnival of distraction." The Glasgow Times reported that in a statement posted on X, Kneecap suggested the charge is part of a broader attempt to silence them. They wrote: "Since our statements at Coachella — exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people — we have faced a coordinated smear campaign. "For over a year, we have used our shows to call out the British and Irish governments' complicity in war crimes. "The recent attacks against us, largely emanating from the US, are based on deliberate distortions and falsehoods. We are taking action against several of these malicious efforts. "Let us be absolutely clear. The reason Kneecap is being targeted is simple — we are telling the truth, and our audience is growing. "Those attacking us want to silence criticism of a mass slaughter. They weaponise false accusations of antisemitism to distract, confuse, and provide cover for genocide. "We do not give a f*** what religion anyone practices. We know there are massive numbers of Jewish people outraged by this genocide, just as we are. "What we care about is that governments of the countries we perform in are enabling some of the most horrific crimes of our lifetimes — and we will not stay silent. "No media spin will change this. "Our only concern is the Palestinian people — the 20,000 murdered children and counting. "The young people at our gigs see through the lies. They stand on the side of humanity and justice. And that gives us great hope." READ MORE: Kneecap release statement on member's terror charge Despite the TRNSMT cancellation, Kneecap has announced a replacement show at Glasgow's O2 Academy on Tuesday, 8 July.

Lola Young comes out as bisexual in a playful TikTok comment
Lola Young dropped some truths about her sexuality over the weekend, and did so with a single line of text in a comment on a TikTok video. The 24-year-old British alt-pop sensation, fresh off her Coachella set and the Billboard success of her breakout hit, 'Messy,' posted a video of herself dancing and lip-syncing to CMAT's 'Take a Sexy Picture of Me' while wearing a corseted grey hoodie and matching sweatpants. - YouTube In the comments section of the video, one user said, 'no man deserves this,' which prompted a response from Young stating, 'i like p***y as well u kno.' Lola Young commenting on her sexuality Prior to this, Young has never publicly addressed her sexuality, though she did confirm to British GQ back in 2021 that the first time she'd fallen in love was when she was 14. 'I believe in young love, for sure, but I believe love does not change depending on your life experience,' she said at the time. 'The person [I fell in love with] was great, but it just wasn't right.' She further clarified, 'I don't love love most of the time, but sometimes I do, and I don't like change, which means I like to stay in relationships as long as they last.' Young has been a rising star since she debuted with '6 Feet Under' in 2019, and 'Messy' took the number one spot in the charts in the UK, Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Ireland, and Israel. - YouTube Overall, Young's frank lyrics and unique sound have garnered her the attention, with 'Messy' initially becoming a viral sensation after it became a TikTok trending sound in 2024.
