Lorde is gearing up to do a scan of arenas across North America and Europe this fall, with the pop star announcing her Ultrasound Tour in support of upcoming album Virgin Thursday (May 8). Breaking the news on Instagram, Lorde shared a tour poster featuring a blue X-ray photo — similar to her June-slated fourth album's cover art — and wrote, 'I am going on tour in support of my new album, Virgin.'

The trek will kick off Sept. 17 in Austin, Texas, followed by U.S. and Canada shows in Chicago, Nashville, Toronto, Boston, New York City, Las Vegas, Seattle and more cities through late October. In November, Lorde will head overseas for the European leg, starting in Luxembourg and followed by Paris, London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin and more before wrapping Dec. 9 in Stockholm. The Ultrasound Tour will mark Lorde's first trek since 2021's Solar Power Tour, which supported the Grammy winner's album of the same name. It's also her first arena tour since the 2017-2018 Melodrama World Tour, with Lorde favoring more intimate, theater-sized venues for the Solar Power run. Fans can buy tickets as soon as May 14, with a pre-sale going live at 10 a.m. local time. Registration is already open on Lorde's website. After that, more tickets will become available in a general on sale on May 16. The announcement comes shortly after Lorde dropped her comeback single, 'What Was That,' in April, shortly before revealing that Virgin would be arriving June 27.

Lil Baby ranks his top five Atlanta rappers
Lil Baby has set the internet abuzz after revealing his ranking of the top five Atlanta rappers during an appearance on the DeepCut podcast. The WHAM rapper, who has been making the rounds promoting his latest projects, was asked to rank himself alongside four other prominent Atlanta artists. However, rather than placing himself at the top, he humbly dropped himself to the fifth spot. "That's hard cause I don't know how to rank myself," Lil Baby admitted before ranking the other four rappers. He placed Playboi Carti at fourth, 21 Savage at third, and Young Thug at second, while giving the top spot to his frequent collaborator, Future. "Future, Slime, Savage then Carti," he reaffirmed. "For sure." The ranking immediately sparked controversy online, with fans debating whether Future deserved the number-one spot over Young Thug, who has played a pivotal role in Lil Baby's career. Others chimed in, arguing that legendary Atlanta rap groups like Migos and OutKast should have been considered. Another major talking point was Gunna's omission from the list. While Lil Baby and Gunna were once close, their relationship reportedly soured following the YSL legal case, which led many to label Gunna a snitch. While Baby has not directly criticized his former Drip Harder collaborator, he has made his stance clear. "I'm always gonna look at certain stuff a certain way," he said on A Safe Place podcast. "It boils down to what we rapping about… We can't rap about that if you did that. If I was making Christmas music, then I don't give a damn what you did." Lil Baby's decision to put Future at number one may also hint at an upcoming collaboration. The rapper previously revealed that he and Future had nearly completed a joint album before Young Thug's return shifted plans. "Me and Future was working on a joint tape," he told Spotify in January. "We damn near got the joint tape done. Now [Thug] came home and he ain't going for that. He like, 'Sht.' And it actually [was] Thug's idea."
