BTS cannot wait for fans to get their hands on their new album, Proof, which drops June 10, and just announced its complete track list.
Proof, which arrives June 10, is not only BTS’ 10th studio album, it’s a three-disc anthology collection meant to commemorate their ninth anniversary as a band. Their label, Big Hit Music, announced on Sunday that the first disc will feature the septet’s biggest hits, including “Dynamite,” Butter” and their Halsey collab “Boy with Luv.”
Disc two, according to Big Hit, is meant for the die-hard BTS fan, and will feature deep cuts such as “Euphoria,” “Her,” “Stay” and many others. The second disc’s track list was revealed Monday.
That said, we’ll have to wait until Tuesday to find out what’s on the third disc. The label has since released a full schedule of when they will announce all the Proof details, including concept photos and music video teasers. However, June 7 is only marked with “???”
Proof will be BTS’ first effort since they announced an “extended period of rest” in December. Their label said of their new release, “The BTS anthology album that embodies the history of BTS will be released as they begin a new chapter as an artist that has been active for nine years to look back on their endeavors.”
BigHit said Proof will “reflect the thoughts and ideas of the members on the past present and future of BTS.”
Halsey is very upset to learn they’re allergic to a favorite drink of theirs.
“Just found out I’m allergic to coffee so there goes my entire personality,” Halsey captioned a TikTok video of them sipping on an iced green drink while a remix of Fleetwood Mac‘s “Dreams” plays in the background.
Halsey revealed they are also allergic to a bevy of other things, including yeast, wheat, potatoes, onions, milk, mustard, shrimp, shrimp, soy, almonds, blueberries, squash and a lot more. But Halsey assured fans “Everything is fine!” although when one fan empathized with the singer about being allergic to garlic, Halsey admitted, “The Italian in me is weeping.” The singer said to another fan that she is seeking more answers because “this is just a WILD way to live.”
In other Halsey news, the singer recently issued a warning to their more squeamish fans about their upcoming tour, which “contains mature themes.”
“The show will contain visual images that may not be appropriate for all audiences,” they announced on Twitter. “With that being said however, this show is vulnerable and powerful in a way that I am so proud of. It is unlike anything I’ve ever done before and I can’t wait for you to see it.”
Joe Alwyn, who is famously dating Taylor Swift, stars in Hulu’s Conversations with Friendsand is part of some pretty steamy scenes in the show. So, how does his girlfriend of six years feel about them?
Speaking with Extra, the British actor said he didn’t need to give Taylor a heads-up before watching. “I mean she’s read the book and she loves the book so she knows it,” Alwyn explaied.
Conversations with Friends, which was published in 2017 and written by author Sally Rooney, tells the story of two young female friends who become entangled with a married couple, played in the series by Joe and actress Jemima Kirke.
Despite filming his fair share of racy scenes, Alwyn said he knew Taylor wouldn’t have a problem with them. “She just, like, couldn’t be a bigger fan of the project,” he assured.
The actor went on to explain that each love scene is meant to progress the story, and an intimacy coordinator made sure each scene was what it needed to be.
“Hopefully, each intimate scene feels different or there’s some kind of progression in their relationship,” he added.
Alwyn also spoke about being considered one of Hollywood’s most private actors, telling the outlet, “I don’t really mind if people call me that. I think people having a private life is important to understand people’s interest in what’s going on behind closed doors. I think it’s nice to draw a line as well and keep what’s important and close to you private.”
Taylor is also notoriously quiet about her private life, which has sparked numerous rumors about her relationship with Joe and their status.
Conversations with Friends arrives on Hulu on May 15.

Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde are celebrating their #1 song, “Never Wanted to Be That Girl,” in numerous ways.
While on the road opening for Kenny Chesney, Carly took a moment to honor the moment by posing in front of her tour bus with “#1” balloons in hand and a smile plastered on her face. She also shared a photo of her and Ashley on a video call, but holding one finger in the air.
In a caption accompanying the photos, Carly reflects on their writing session with Shane McAnally as they were “thinking about the women we want to be and the way that’s not always how life and love turn out,.
“Sometimes out of something bad comes something good. Thank you to everyone who plays Country music, our fans, our record labels, management teams, agents, our bands and everyone in between,” Carly continues, saying that she’s “proud” to call her duet partner a “friend” and “sister.” “I will forever be grateful for this song bringing us together. Gonna go cry for the 100th time!”
“First times only happen once,” adds Ashley. “I’ll always love that Carly and I got to ride this rocket of a song together. I’ll always love that she, Shane and I trusted each other and ourselves to be brutally honest when we wrote it. It doesn’t get a whole lot better than that.”
“Never” is the second all-female country duet in the past 30 years to top the charts, following Miranda Lambert and Elle King‘s “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home).”
“Never Wanted to Be that Girl” was also named Music Event of the Year at the ACM Awards. “Never” is Carly’s third #1 single and Ashley’s first.
