Taylor Swift isn’t the only pop star who can get Google to do something cool when you put her name in the search box. Ed Sheeran has somehow arranged for Google to return the question “Did you mean Rupert Grint?” when you search for his name and vice versa. It’s all a promotion for Ed’s new video for “A Little More,” which features the Harry Potter actor as an obsessed Ed Sheeran fan.
During her Spotify Billions Club concert in June, Miley Cyrus performed her hit song “We Can’t Stop” because it’s one of her songs that has been streamed 1 billion times. But it wasn’t until this week that the song’s video officially hit the billion-view milestone on YouTube. It’s her fifth billion-view video as a lead artist, collaborator or featured artist, including “Flowers,” “Wrecking Ball” and “Party in the U.S.A.”
Ahead of more details being revealed about Taylor Swift‘s upcoming 12th studio album, Kansas City, Missouri, is taking advantage of its connection to the singer.

Thank you to my bro [Kendrick Lamar] and [SZA] for allowing me to open the show. I’ll never forget it,” he wrote, alongside photos from the tour. “I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity.”

Cardi B’s upcoming single, “Imaginary Players,” will drop on Friday, taking after the title of Jay-Z‘s track of the same name. In an X Spaces session early Wednesday, she seemed to tease that he cleared the song.
“There [were] a lot of hip-hop heads in the building … and they heard ‘Imaginary Players,’ and they absolutely love it,” Cardi said. “This song is like a staple for me. … I have to f****** get it approved by the one and only.”
The “Bodak Yellow” rapper also said she would have been fine if the answer had been no. “If he didn’t approve it, I probably wouldn’t [have] even [felt] a certain type of way [either], because it would have been like, ‘OK, maybe I just had to come a little bit harder,’” she explained. “But I’m glad that I came hard and he loved it.”
“Imaginary Players” is said to include a sample of Jay’s song of the same name and will continue to preview Am I the Drama?, due out Sept. 19.
“If only y’all knew the story of what I had to go through with this single,” Cardi said in an earlier Instagram Live. “I fought really hard to put this song out because some people wanted a different direction, but it’s like, I want my next single to be more of a hip-hop direction.”

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have shared another track from the upcoming reissue of their only studio album as a duo, 1973’s Buckingham Nicks.
The artists have released the tune “Don’t Let Me Down Again,” which was the first single off the record when it was originally released. It is now available via digital outlets.
Buckingham Nicks is being released Sept. 19, digitally, on CD and on vinyl, with newly remastered sound. This will mark the first-ever reissue of the album, which has been unavailable for decades.
Lindsey and Stevie’s career didn’t initially take off after the release of Buckingham Nicks. The album wasn’t a commercial success, but shortly after the release Mick Fleetwood heard a track from the album, which led to him inviting Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac. Buckingham insisted his then-girlfriend Nicks come with him, and the pair officially joined the band on New Year’s Eve 1974.

President Donald Trump announced this year’s Kennedy Center Honorees Wednesday, with KISS among the artists being recognized.
Trump made the announcement during a press conference. “I Will Survive” singer Gloria Gaynor, actor Sylvester Stallone, Phantom of the Opera star Michael Crawford and country legend George Strait also make up the 49th class of Kennedy Center Honorees.
“They’re great people and they deserve it. They work hard, and they’re still working hard,” Trump said of KISS, noting the band has “something very special” planned for the annual ceremony, which will be held on Dec. 7. “We’re gonna have a good time.”
Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss formed KISS in New York City in 1973. They released their self-titled debut album in 1974 and have gone on to become one of the biggest-selling bands of all time, selling over 100 million records worldwide. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
Kid Cudi was one of the people who testified in support of Cassie during Sean“Diddy” Combs‘sex trafficking and racketeering trial, but apparently he didn’t want to do it. While a guest on Alex Cooper‘s Call Her Daddy podcast, he explained how he ended up as a witness in the trial.
“At first they asked, I said no. They asked again, I said no. Then I got subpoenad, and I was like, ‘F***. S***. No,” Cudi recalled. “I hated every minute of it. Like, I did not want to do it. But then I thought about, when I was up there, you know, I’m here to support Cassie and, you know, Cassie is my friend, and I love her and I wanna see her do well.”
“I’ve always just wanted to see her, you know, thrive and, and do well and be happy, because I know she was living a nightmare. And I just was there to support her,” Cudi continued. “That’s what kind of gave me peace with it when I sat down in that chair, it was just about … ‘Oh man, I gotta, like, hold homegirl down’ and like, you know, look out for her.”
Cudi’s testimony included his recollection of the time he learned Diddy had allegedly broken into his home and lit his car on fire — a moment Kudi admits he “had a hard time understanding” was true.
“I was like, ‘Am I in a movie? What the f*** is going on?'” he said. “I just thought about it as like, just some wild s*** that happened in my rock ‘n’ roll life.”
Diddy was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges but was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
