The official trailer for Billie Eilish‘s upcoming concert experience on Disney+ is here!

In the preview of Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles, the Grammy-winning singer is shown performing onstage at the Hollywood Bowl with her brother, Finneas, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.

An animated version of Eilish also appears in the nearly two-minute trailer for the original film, which premieres Friday, September 3.

“I definitely have fantasies about LA — a whole different world interwoven with my world,” Billie says in the preview.

The singer will perform every song from her latest album, Happier Than Ever, in track list order during the Robert Rodriguez– and Patrick Osborne-directed original film.

“It’s a concert film, but it’s also a story, at the same time,” she says in the trailer. “This kind of beautiful version of Old Hollywood … and the Hollywood Bowl, it’s very timeless.”

In a previously released statement, Eilish shared: “Disney is incredibly iconic, so to collaborate on something like this is a huge honor. To be able to present my album in this way and dedicate it to the city that I love and grew up in is so exciting to me. I hope you love it.”

The concert experience will also feature the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus and renowned guitarist Romero Lubambo.

R. Kelly‘s sex trafficking trial continued Monday, with a woman who claimed to be one of his live-in girlfriends testifying that the singer gave her herpes and forced her to get an abortion.

One woman, identified as Jane Doe #5, testified that she became involved with the 54-year-old singer, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, in 2015, when she was 17 and an aspiring singer.  She claimed their relationship lasted five years.

Billboard reports the woman said she met Kelly at one of his concerts and he coerced her into a sexual relationship after inviting her to “audition” for him.  Jane Doe claimed he knowingly gave her herpes, a sexually transmitted disease.  Kelly’s physician testified Thursday that the singer has had herpes since 2007.

Other claims from the witness include her being forced to get an abortion in 2017 when she allegedly became pregnant with Kelly’s child, along with various accusations of physical and mental abuse — including being left in a room for three to four days and having Kelly control nearly every aspect of her body.

Jane Doe also spoke about Kelly’s controversial marriage to Aaliyah, who was 15 when the two secretly wed.  She claims that Kelly told another live-in girlfriend that he impregnated the “Try Again” singer and that the two needed to be married to obtain an abortion.

Kelly faces state and federal charges for sex trafficking, racketeering, coercion and other charges related to the alleged abuse and exploitation of six women — three of whom were underage at the time — over the course of 25 years. Three of those women are scheduled to testify during the trial.

The new season hasn’t aired yet, but Ariana Grande has already been gushing about her time on The Voice. On the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Monday night, it was fellow coach Kelly Clarkson‘s turn to gush.

“I love her!” Kelly said of Ariana. “We had actually run into each other a couple of times before, but not really like, been able to talk and she so’s funny. Like, very witty.”

“We’ve already taped everything up to the lives, and she’s hysterical,” she continued.

Kelly adds that The Voice has never had a coach quite like Ariana. “I’ve only been there for eight seasons, but in all my seasons, I’ve never heard a coach talk about vocal health as much, and I’m like, ‘I guess we should have mentioned that,'” she laughed. “No one’s ever mentioned it, and she’s really into it.”

Over the weekend, Ariana posted one of her looks from the show and captioned it, “One month @nbcthevoice ! you just ….. have no idea. i love this show and everyone involved so much and yes, i will continue saying this repeatedly until september 20th goodbye.”

The new season of The Voice premieres September 20 on NBC.
