Hailey Bieber is on the mend after experiencing what she described as “stroke-like symptoms” last week.

Over the weekend, the 25-year-old model told her fans what happened on her Instagram Stories and said it was “one of the scariest moments I’ve ever been through.”

“On Thursday morning, I was sitting at breakfast with my husband when I started having stroke-like symptoms and was taken to the hospital,” Bieber wrote. “[The doctors] found I had suffered a very small blood clot to my brain, which caused a small lack of oxygen, but my body had passed it on its own and I recovered completely within a few hours.”

In the U.S., strokes are the fifth cause of death and leading cause of disability, according to the American Stroke Association. It occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either “blocked by a clot or bursts.” Usually when this happens, the American Stroke Association says, part of the brain can’t get the blood and oxygen it needs.

Board-certified emergency medicine physician and ABC News contributor Dr. Darien Sutton said there are three types of strokes. He said he believes Bieber had a transient ischemic attack, sometimes called a “mini-stroke.”

“That’s when blood supply is temporarily reduced,” Sutton said. “And that can cause symptoms lasting anywhere from minutes to up to 24 hours.”

Bieber’s health scare comes one month after her husband, Justin Bieber, contracted COVID-19. The singer, who has since recovered from the disease, had to postpone multiple concert dates on his Justice World Tour, including a show in Las Vegas, which was later rescheduled to June.

Newly minted ACM Entertainer of the Year Miranda Lambert is gearing up for another big year of wowing crowds. She’s reviving her Bandwagon Tour, a co-headlining gig with Little Big Town, in 2022.

A lot goes into mounting a tour, especially on such a high caliber, where the expectations are high for a stellar show. But Miranda is up to the challenge. On TikTok, she posted a little behind-the-scenes clip of her rehearsals with her band.

Complete with a huge array of instruments, personnel and more cords than you can count, Miranda’s clearly got an epic show planned for when she hits the road in May.

The sneak peek video is set to Miranda’s new song, “Strange,” which comes off her just-announced Palomino record. That project will arrive at the end of April.

Traci Braxton, the sister of Toni and Tamar Braxton, has passed away after a private battle with esophageal cancer. She was 50.

The Braxton family shared the news in a statement Saturday.

“It is with the utmost regret that we inform you of the passing of our sister, Traci,” the statement reads. “Needless to say, she was a bright light, a wonderful daughter, an amazing sister, a loving mother, wife, grandmother and a respected performer. We will miss her dearly.”

The statement added that Traci “passed this morning as the snow was falling, our angel is now a snowflake.”

“We ask that you respect our privacy as we plan to send her home with love, celebrating her life,” the statement concluded.

Her husband Kevin Surratt said in a statement, “Our beloved Traci Braxton has gone on to glory.”

Traci’s management team also confirmed the news Saturday, noting she was “surrounded by family and friends at the time of her passing.”

Traci had appeared on her family’s WEtv reality show Braxton Family Values, as well as on the third season of Marriage Boot Camp with Surratt. She also released her debut solo album, titled Crash & Burn, in 2014.

COIN has released a new song called “Brad Pitt.”

The track, which is available now via digital outlets, doesn’t mention the Fight Club actor by name in the lyrics, but rather finds vocalist Chase Lawrence singing about wanting to be “young forever.”

There’s also a line that goes “Bring me out of the box,” which we’re choosing to believe is a Seven reference.

“Brad Pitt” will appear on COIN’s upcoming album, Uncanny Valley, due out March 25. The record also includes the previously released single “Chapstick” and the songs “Cutie” and “I Think I Met You in a Dream.”

COIN will be playing a number of U.S. festivals this year, including Bonnaroo, Governors Ball and Shaky Knees. Next month, they’ll head to the U.K. to open for 5 Seconds of Summer.

Camila Cabello teased her forthcoming album Familia on Friday by sharing some handwritten notes and photos fashioned in a scrapbook-style booklet. “Sneak peek of the FAMILIA journal,” she wrote on Instagram and shared snippets of some never-before-seen photos and notes. Familia is due out April 8.

Rihanna‘s Savage X Fenty lingerie line is valued at at least $3 billion, says Bloomberg.  Apparently, Rih is considering making an initial public offering (IPO) for her company, meaning fans could potentially buy stock in her Fenty franchise in the future. Her representatives declined to comment on the report.

Ariana Grande’s fans are saying “thank u” to Madame Tussauds for unveiling its new Ari wax figure that, shockingly, looks just like the Grammy winner — engagement ring, tattoos and all. This is the third revision of the statue, according to a press release. Fans can start checking it out at Florida’s Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Orlando.

Post Malone‘s sale of his Bugatti is going less than smoothly because it’s the center of a lawsuit. KUTV reports that a man agreed to buy the all-white 2019 Bugatti Chiron Coupe for $3.5 million, but his all-cash offer was bumped when a higher offer came in. The man claims he signed a sales contract prior to that other offer coming in, which he says fell through, so now he’s suing the car broker, who he claims is not returning his calls.

Cardi B lambasted her young fans who think it’s okay to disrespect their teachers. Sharing a video of middle schoolers throwing a chair at and hurting their teacher, which she called “disgusting,” she tweeted, “I went to school wit a lot of gangstas and no matter what they never put their hands on a teacher…Kids this is not respected, not cool, not funny, not tough, not gangsta.”

Eddie Vedder‘s Ukulele Songs is coming back to vinyl.

A reissue of the Pearl Jam frontman’s sophomore solo album will be released May 6, marking the first time the record’s been pressed to wax since its original release in 2011.

The collection will be available in Standard and Deluxe editions, both of which include all 16 songs from the original album. The Deluxe arrives in exclusive expanded packaging including a 16-page booklet and a lithograph.

Ukulele Songs, as the title suggests, found Vedder trading a guitar for Hawaii’s signature instrument to strum along to set of originals and covers. It was Vedder’s most recent full-length solo effort until this year’s Earthling, which was released this past February.

Vedder just wrapped up a solo tour in support of Earthing last month. He’ll return to the road with Pearl Jam for a European tour in June.
