(NOTE CONTENT) DaBaby stars in and directed his new music video, which pays homage to Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death in his hometown.

“Save Me” finds DaBaby taking on the role of a bystander. He stops the actor representing Decarlos Brown Jr. from stabbing the woman who portrays Zarutska.

Zarutska was stabbed to death on Aug. 22 while riding the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte, North Carolina, according to an affidavit obtained by ABC News.

According to the affidavit, Zarutska got on the train and sat directly in front of Brown, who eventually pulled a knife out of his pocket and struck her, according to an affidavit obtained by ABC News. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Brown was arrested after he was released from the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has since charged him with first-degree murder.

Brown is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.

Mariah Carey has turned a meme into merch. Mariah was interviewed on BBC Radio 2 in August when the topic of Katy Perry’s Blue Origin space flight came up. The deejay asked Mimi, “Would you go?” She replied, “I think I’ve done enough.” The moment was instantly memed, and now it’s an official T-shirt available on Mariah’s Amazon Music storefront. It shows Mariah wearing shades, being touched up by her glam squad, with “I think I’ve done enough” written underneath it.

Sabrina Carpenter is doing her part to get out the vote.

Speaking of Sabrina, a spooky version of her song “Please Please Please” appears in the trailer of the new Sydney Sweeney film The Housemaid — you can hear it amid shots of stabbing, blood, arrests, fire and other mayhem.

Forget about going up into space for a few minutes and then coming back down like Katy Perry did: Ed Sheeran was once invited to perform an actual concert in space.

Speaking to BBC Radio 2, Ed said, “I was offered to go to space a while ago, and it terrifies me.” He explained that the pitch was that he would be doing the “first gig in space,” but he turned it down. 

“I ain’t doin’ it, I got kids,” Ed said. “I’m not gonna risk that for, for what? Like, a Guinness World Record something or another? I’m not gonna risk my kids not having a dad.”

Ed noted that he’d rather “go to space when it’s like flying to France and 40,000 people have done it, and you can just book it online.”

He also pointed out, “There’s places on this planet that I haven’t been to. I’ve never been to Greenland — I would love to go to Greenland. There’s places on this planet I would far rather go to than space.”

The BBC‘s Ozzy Osbourne documentary has a new release date.

The film, titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, will debut on Oct. 2 after being delayed from its originally announced Aug. 18 premiere.

The BBC had pulled Coming Home from air just hours before it was set to broadcast without explanation. The network later said, “We are respecting the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film.”

Coming Home was first announced on Aug. 7, just over two weeks after Ozzy’s death on July 22. It was originally conceived in 2022 as a reality series called Home to Roost before being reworked into a standalone film.

Carly Pearce paid tribute to the “Father of Bluegrass” Tuesday as part of the Opry 100 Honors Bill Monroe show.

Carly performed Bill’s most famous song, “Blue Moon of Kentucky,” along with another Country Music Hall of Famer from the Bluegrass State. 

“Growing up in Kentucky, Bill Monroe and Ricky Skaggs were two of the biggest influences in my musical journey,” Carly shared on her socials, along with a clip of their collab. “As a kid, I loved bluegrass music and when I was in fourth grade, I won my first talent show singing this song. Last night we got to honor Bill Monroe for the Opry 100 and it was SO special to have Ricky join me and my band on stage!”

Carly’s described her upcoming fifth studio album as “super, super bluegrassy rootsy country.” Though she said she’d finished her vocals back in June, there’s no word on when Carly’s new music will make its debut.
