Megan Thee Stallion reflects on 31st birthday celebration: ‘A time was definitely had’

February 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Megan Thee Stallion has unlocked her 31st year of life, as well as a brand-new car.

The rapper, whose birthday was on Sunday, took to Instagram to give a glimpse of how she celebrated another trip around the sun. The post included photos of her in a revealing dress, posing with boyfriend Klay Thompson on a boat and a beach, and a blue Bentley, which appears to be her birthday gift from Klay.

“Aw man I was not ready for this birthday trip to be over,” Meg wrote in the caption. “A time was definitely had. THANK YOU BABY.”

Meg’s birthday getaway comes a week after she celebrated Klay’s 36th birthday with a party that included a performance by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.

She previously spoke to People about the NBA player, whom she said unexpectedly came into her life after she prioritized self-love and mental health.

“I think that because finally I started being in a better mind space about myself and my life, and I had already been doing a lot of work to heal me,” she said. “I had been going to therapy, I had a bunch of activities that I started doing for myself; maybe God just opened up that space for me to have somebody that loved me right.”

“This is one of the first times that I’ve ever been just overly comfortable,” she added. “I’m comfy, babe!”

Charges filed against suspect in 2024 Taylor Swift concert bombing plot

February 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

On Monday, the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office in Austria filed charges against a suspect in the thwarted plot to bomb Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in that city on Aug. 9, 2024.

The 21-year-old suspect is accused of “planning and preparing a terrorist attack,” “obtaining instructions online for constructing a … bomb” and of “receiving instruction from other IS members in the handling of explosives.” He’s also accused of attempting to buy guns and a hand grenade illegally, and of manufactured a small quantity of explosives.

In addition, the suspect is being accused of multiple other terrorist-related crimes, including promoting terrorist activities via Snapchat and other messenger services. The suspect, in custody since 2024, faces up to 20 years in prison.

While the plot failed, in part thanks to a tip from U.S. intelligence, Taylor’s three planned shows in Austria that year were canceled due to concerns for public safety.

February 17, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The movie version of The Who’s rock opera Tommy is returning to theaters.

In celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary, Tommy is getting an exclusive two-day run in IMAX theaters, March 17 and 18.

Originally released in March 1975, Tommy, written and directed by Ken Russell, was based on The Who’s 1969 album of the same name.

The film follows a young boy named Tommy, who, after witnessing his father murder his mother’s lover, becomes deaf, dumb and blind. Despite this, he becomes an unlikely celebrity due to his pinball-playing skills and eventually inspires a cult following.

All members of The Who appeared in the film, with Roger Daltrey playing the title role. The cast also included Elton John, Eric Clapton, Ann-Margaret, Jack Nicholson, Oliver Reed and Tina Turner.

The film earned Ann-Margaret an Oscar nomination for best actress, while The Who’s Pete Townshend earned a nod for the score.

Tickets for the IMAX screenings are on sale now.
