Earlier this year, Kevin Jonas debuted his first-ever solo song, “Changing,” during Jonas Brothers‘ show at Fenway Park. Now, he’s announced when it’ll be available.

Kevin performed the song again during their Orlando, Florida, show on Sunday night, and then announced that it’d be available Nov. 20. He’s the one member of the Jonas Brothers who has yet to release any solo music.

Other surprises during the Orlando show, which was livestreamed on Samsung TV Plus, included appearances by Moana star Auliʻi Cravalho, who sang “How Far I’ll Go”; Khalid, who sang “Young Dumb & Broke”; and Sebastian Yatra, who joined JoBros for their joint 2019 single “Runaway,” as well as his Oscar-nominated song “Two Oruguitas” from the Encanto soundtrack.

Samsung TV Plus viewers were also able to participate in a fan vote from home to determine one of the songs on the set list. The winner was “Rollercoaster,” from their 2019 album, Happiness Begins.

The holiday season officially begins at Dollywood on Saturday, as the East Tennessee park kicks off its annual Smoky Mountain Christmas celebration on Nov. 1. 

“When I want to get in the Christmas spirit, all I have to do is close my eyes and remember all the cherished times and stories with my family through the years,” the park’s inspiration, Dolly Parton, says. “I’ve found that Christmas at Dollywood has a way of bringing those memories back to life – for me and so many people – by having a way to make new traditions and spend precious time with all the people that we love.”

This is the 35th year for the yuletide festival, which features more than 6 million lights, as well as Merry and Bright! fireworks at the end of select nights. 

“This year’s Smoky Mountain Christmas is a perfect way to finish the end of our 40th anniversary season – it’s like the star on top of our Dollywood tree!” Dolly continues. “I hope everyone who visits during this special season experiences the love and joy of a traditional Smoky Mountain Christmas. We hope you laugh, love and enjoy the light of the season.”

The Wildwood Grove section of the park will transform into a winter wonderland with the immersive Snow in the Grove experience, while the Country Fair area will become Peppermint Valley. 

Guests will also be able to spot Dollywood’s Christmas characters, Roly and Poly, and enjoy shows like “Christmas in the Smokies,” which has played the Celebrity Theater every year since 1990.

Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas runs through Jan. 4, 2026.

Drake celebrated his 39th birthday Friday at the World Series, cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays. “What up, what up. Biggest 6ixer, live from — oh you gotta see the Jays at the bottom — live from the World Series on my birthday,” Drake said in a video shared to MLB’s social media. “You see the whole city came out tonight. Shout out to the Jays. We’re down right now, but we’ve been here before.” The Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 11-4.

Summer Walker has revealed her upcoming release, Finally Over It, is “a 2-part album about the choices we have left when true love feels impossible.” “One side chooses me, the other sacrifices love completely,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside the vinyl cover art. Finally Over It arrives Nov. 14.

While at the SKVLK Fest hosted by Jamie Foxx and his daughter Anelise Bishop, a fan threw an object at GloRilla onstage, prompting her to issue a warning. “I don’t care how young you is,” she said. “You can get your a** beat.” Jamie then came to her defense, saying, “Who did it? … You throw some s*** in my house? In my crib? Nah, man, that ain’t cool though. … Should we just pull the plug?” Glo eventually returned to the stage and performed “TGIF” and “Yeah Glo!”

Tame Impala‘s new album is called Deadbeat, but you wouldn’t think that for its chart debut.

The latest effort from the Kevin Parker-led outfit starts at #4 on the Billboard 200 with a total of 70,000 equivalent album units, 37,000 of which were traditional album sales.

Tame Impala previously charted in the top five of the all-genre chart with 2020’s The Slow Rush and 2015’s Currents, which peaked at #3 and #4, respectively.

Deadbeat marks the fifth Tame Impala album, and the first in five years. It includes the single “Dracula.”

Tame Impala will launch a U.S. tour in support of Deadbeat Monday in New York City.

On This Day, Oct. 27, 1975…

New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen appeared on the covers of both Time and Newsweek magazines, becoming the first artist to ever appear simultaneously on the magazines’ covers.

Time’s article featured the headline “Rock’s New Sensation,” while Newsweek went with “Making of a Rock Star.”

The simultaneous covers were engineered by Bruce’s then-manager Mike Appel, and followed the August release of his third studio album, Born to Run, which was a breakthrough hit for the rocker.

The surrounding publicity behind the covers resulted in some backlash against Springsteen, who reportedly did not like the attention.

Radiohead will launch a European tour in November, ending their seven-year hiatus from the live stage. Speaking to the U.K.’s The Times about the comeback, guitarist Ed O’Brien shares, “I was nervous going into rehearsals because I was effectively over Radiohead.”

“It wasn’t great on the last round. I enjoyed the gigs but hated the rest,” O’Brien says. “We felt disconnected, f****** spent. It happens. This has been our whole life — what else is there? Look, success has a funny effect on people — I just didn’t want to do it any more. And I told them that.”

O’Brien adds that he went through a “deep depression” since the last Radiohead tour, culminating in 2021 when he “hit the bottom.”

“One of the things that was lovely coming out of it was realizing how much I love these guys,” O’Brien says. “I met them when I was 17 and I have gone from thinking I can’t see myself doing it again to realizing that, you know, we do have some stellar songs.”

Radiohead will be playing many of those songs during their tour, which will feature different set lists each night. Frontman Thom Yorke came up with a list of 65 potential tracks they could play on the tour, “Which we’re all frantically learning,” says guitarist Jonny Greenwood.

“Then Thom will turn up and say, let’s not do half,” Greenwood adds.

The tour will also feature Radiohead performing in the round for the first time since 1993. As for what happens next for Radiohead — new music, perhaps? — Greenwood replies, “I don’t know.”

“We haven’t thought past the tour,” Greenwoods says. Yorke adds, “I’m just stunned we got this far.”
