Sabrina Carpenter is racking up the country bucket list items. After duetting with Dolly Parton last year, she sang with Shania Twain at the Austin City Limits festival on Oct. 4. Now she’s made her debut on Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, the iconic country music broadcast that’s been around since 1925.

Sabrina performed at the Grand Ole Opry House just outside of downtown Nashville on Tuesday, and Sheryl Crow stopped by to introduce her. “What a magical night it was,” Sabrina wrote on Instagram, alongside a carousel of videos and photos.

“The brilliant @sherylcrow took the time to come out and introduce me and i am the biggest fan ever so that made my whole night alone if nothing else!!!” she added. “Thank you to the showstopping band that accompanied me last night. Thank you to my amazing fans who came out and for the Opry frequenters that opened me with welcome ears and hearts :’) I’m a lucky girl!”

Rolling Stone reports that Sabrina erased the frequent f-bombs in her songs for the occasion, telling the audience, “You’re so wholesome here in Nashville. That’s why I’m doing all the clean versions.” The set list included the hits “Please Please Please” and “Manchild,” which normally contain the f-word.

Sabrina also shared her country music bona fides, noting that while growing up in Pennsylvania she listened to Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline. She said her album Man’s Best Friend was put together with “a pedal steel [guitar], a banjo and a dream.”

Sabrina’s performance was part of the Opry’s centennial celebration.

Domino’s is debuting a new brand refresh complete with bolder colors, modern design and an updated sound, thanks to the musical talents of Shaboozey, whom the pizza chain enlisted to record a catchy new jingle.

“Pizza is that one food that brings everyone together — different people and generations and cultures — and no one does it better than Domino’s,” Shaboozey said in a press release. “It was a fun challenge to be the voice for the most craveable food.”

The Michigan-based company revealed its modernized marketing on Wednesday, including a new tagline: “You can’t say ‘Domino’s’ without saying ‘mmm.'”

The company said in a press release that its first refresh in 13 years “took inspiration from its past and present” to “better reach current and future pizza lovers.”

Domino’s worked with Shaboozey, a five-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, to launch its new audio and visual representation of the updated tagline with the new “Dommmino‘s” jingle.

The new look is set to roll out in the U.S. and international markets over the coming months on TV, digital advertising, the Domino’s website, ordering app, boxes, print materials, in-store graphics and team member gear.

Queen has been named the U.K.’s most played rock act of the 21st century by the music rights organization PPL.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers earned the honor with 400 million seconds, or the equivalent of 12 1/2 years, of continuous play on U.K. radio and TV over the past century.

When it comes to Queen songs, “A Kind of Magic,” the title track of their 1986 album, is their most played track of the 21st century. That’s followed by “I Want To Break Free,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Radio Ga-Ga” and “Somebody To Love.”

“Astounding news!” Queen’s Brian May says. “Bearing in mind that most of Queen’s major works were done in the 20th century, it’s amazing to top a 21st century list. Big thanks to all our fans.”

The list was released in honor of the U.K.’s upcoming National Album Day on Oct. 18. Landing just behind Queen on the list is David Bowie, with U2, Oasis and Fleetwood Mac rounding out the top five.

Other artists in the top 10 include The Rolling Stones at #7 and The Police at #8.

Travis Kelce won’t take the bait as brother needles him about Taylor Swift’s song ‘Wood’

If the world’s biggest music star wrote a song about your sexual prowess, wouldn’t you own up to it? When it comes to Travis Kelce, he’s not going there.

On the new episode of their New Heights podcast, Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, tried to get Travis to share how he feels about the song “Wood” on fiancée Taylor Swift‘s new album, The Life of a Showgirl. The song is full of double entendres about how well-endowed Travis is, but he wouldn’t comment.

“It’s a great song,” Travis said when Jason asked him about it. Jason then referenced the song’s lyrics by asking, “Do you feel, do you feel — not confident — do you feel cocky about the song ‘Wood’?”

“No,” Travis responded. “Any song that she references me in is very—”

Jason then cut him off, noting, “This is not just any song. This is a very specific you.” He added, “It’s not just you. It’s an appendage. It’s a very specific thing.”

“I think you’re not understanding the song,” Travis said with a straight face.

“You’re out of your mind,” Jason insisted, quoting some of the lyrics to Travis: “Redwood tree/ ain’t hard to see.”

“That’s a generous word, I think,” Jason continued. “I think if somebody wrote a song about me, it’d be like, ‘Japanese maple.'” That cracked Travis up. It’s worth noting that another lyric in the song is “New heights of manhood.”

The brothers also talked in detail about The Life of a Showgirl. “Let’s just give it up for Taylor,” said Travis. “She’s done it again. … The album is absolutely amazing.” Jason said his top two songs are “Opalite” and “Eldest Daughter,” while Travis says he keeps going back to “Actually Romantic.”

“She makes talking s*** sound so sweet,” he added.

Amid an album rollout that has seen Cardi B discuss the dark times in her marriage, her estranged husband, Offset, is reflecting on his faults. During an appearance on the Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast, he revealed he “made a lot of mistakes” during their relationship.

“I was definitely not perfect,” he said. “I made a lot of mistakes. I did a lot of wrong, and it’s always on the front screen, so it was hard to move on from it.”

In hindsight, he said, he “should have respected her way more.”

“I made bad decisions as a man, stepping out, and I gotta take that on the chin,” Offset shared. “I was being selfish, and I can say that as a man. I wish there wasn’t so much interest in our stuff going on. I’ve done got out of pocket a couple of times because it feels like you’re getting bullied.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Offset shut down speculation that Saweetie cheated on Quavo with him, saying, “No, it was rumored, man.”

He added he believes his breakup with Quavo was due to “something deeper.” “I think people were trying to tear down my situation and their situation,” he guessed. “We’re men, we don’t play those games.”

Offset then shared that things between them will never be the same because Takeoff was “the glue to everything.”

“In a group you got egos. We grown men. We got millions of dollars and egos. But homie would humble that at all times. … He just kept us as one,” Offset explained, adding he will always identify with Migos despite its split.

“I’m still Migos at the end of the day. When I go back to my neighborhood, it’s a crew of us, and we Migos,” Offset said. “So it don’t never go away from me.”

Yungblud responds to critics of VMA Ozzy Osbourne tribute performance

(NOTE LANGUAGE) Yungblud has responded to criticisms of his performance on the MTV Video Music Awards in tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.

The topic came up during Yungblud’s guest appearance on the Trying Not to Die podcast, which is co-hosted by Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne

“You’ll never see someone that’s bigger or more emotionally evolved than you talk s*** on you,” Yungblud says. “You ain’t ever gonna see f****** [Metallica frontman] James Hetfield slag off a young rock star, because he’s James f****** Hetfield. … They don’t need to insert themselves into a conversation, because they’re emotionally evolved and they know what it takes to get somewhere.”

While neither Yungblud nor Jack mention any critics by name, The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins made headlines when he called the VMA performance, which also featured Aerosmith‘s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and Extreme‘s Nuno Bettencourt, “Cynical, nauseating and more importantly; s***.”

“All I was trying to do was my best for your old man, because he gave me such a gift,” Yungblud tells Jack. “When people try and intellectualize a sense of spirit and six musicians on a stage going, ‘I f****** love you, man,’ it’s just bitter and jealous.”

Jack also refutes the idea of Yungblud “inserting himself” into Ozzy’s narrative, sharing that he’s long been a friend of the Osbourne family.

“They are doing the things that they say we are doing,” Yungblud says of the critics. “They’re trying to insert themselves into a conversation to obtain some kind of relevancy, on the back of us honoring one of the greatest rock stars that ever lived. And then they talk about authenticity and stuff like that. And it’s like, I just loved your dad.”
