After offering fans limited-edition CDs of her new Toy Story 5 song, Taylor Swift has put some vinyl versions up for sale — with a twist.

Instead of the usual 7-inch vinyls, there are two 10-inch vinyls available to order now. One of them is pressed in the star shape of Toy Story 5 character Jessie’s sheriff’s badge. Taylor’s Toy Story 5 song “I Knew It, I Knew You” was inspired by Jessie’s journey in the film.

The other vinyl is decorated to look like Jessie’s red cowboy hat. Both vinyls picture the Toy Story 5 logo on the flip side, along with an instrumental version of the song.

These so-called “collector’s edition” vinyls are only available until Friday at 1:59 p.m. ET or while supplies last. They’ll ship on or around June 19, but you won’t have to wait to hear the song: it arrives on digital platforms on Friday.

When she announced the song, Taylor wrote on Instagram, “I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie.”

The Living Legend Icon Award will go to Ms. Lauryn Hill when the BET Awards return June 28.

She’s been named the recipient of the honor, which recognizes “artists and creators whose body of work has remained essential not because the culture held on to them, but because they never stopped holding on to it,” according to a press release.

“Ms. Lauryn Hill is the very definition of a living legend,” BET’s Connie Orlando said in a statement. “Across every era, she has never chased the moment; she has shaped it. Her artistry redefined what was possible in our music and gave a generation permission to be fearless, spiritual, and free. Her influence is woven into the fabric of the culture, and it is a profound honor to celebrate her legacy on Culture’s Biggest Night.”

The BET Awards will take place June 28 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with Druski hosting. It will air live at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT and reair at 8 p.m. PT.

“let our way rage on as it’s how a family that actually likes each other speaks,” the post reads, with Antonoff adding, “thank god for this tour starting we are honored and humbled but mostly ready to bring the last night on earth every night.”

Finally, he says, “lets [sic] have some f***** fun out there its [sic] time to kick the door in.”

Michael Jackson’s hit biopic has boosted his catalog of hits, but it’s a deep cut that went viral that helped him capture an all-time chart record.

After becoming popular on social media, “Chicago,” from The King of Pop’s posthumous 2014 album Xscape, has now debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #30. That makes Michael the first artist ever to have at least one new song debut on the Hot 100 in every decade since the ’70s.

He sent 11 songs into the chart in that decade, according to Billboard, followed by 20 songs in the ’80s. He then had 12 in the ’90s, four in the 2000s, four in the 2010s and now one in the 2020s.

“Chicago” is now so popular that it’s currently the singer’s second-highest-charting song on the Hot 100, after “Billie Jean,” which is at #19.

Xscape, which was released five years after Michael’s passing, spun off two chart hits in 2014: “Love Never Felt So Good” featuring Justin Timberlake and “Slave to the Rhythm.”  “Chicago” was never a single.

Paul Simon fans will now get to enjoy his A Quiet Celebration tour from the comfort of their own home.

Paul Simon: The Quiet Celebration Concert, an almost two-hour concert film, will air on Hulu and Disney+ starting June 26.

The film was recorded live at McCaw Hall in Seattle back in August. It features performances of songs from his most recent album, Seven Psalms, as well as new renditions of classic hits. The tour, which he launched in April 2025, was Simon’s first after dealing with the loss of hearing in his left ear.

“This tour has enabled me to play with musicians again. I really missed it,” says Simon. “Everybody has enjoyed the experience so much. There’s been a feeling of camaraderie and elation that we were playing this piece of music that we were really interested in, and that had a significant effect on me.”

“It made for one of the most extraordinary tours I’ve done — maybe the most joyous,” he adds.

In addition to the concert film, a companion album will be released Oct. 9 digitally and as a three-LP or two-CD set.

Simon kicked off a new leg of the tour on Wednesday in Stanford, California, and will play there again on Thursday. A complete list of dates can be found at PaulSimon.com.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

Josh Klinghoffer on the ‘slight disrespect’ of Red Hot Chili Peppers not playing music he made with them

Guitarist Josh Klinghoffer has shared his thoughts about the Red Hot Chili Peppers rarely playing songs from the albums he appeared on.

Klinghoffer joined the Peppers in 2011, replacing John Frusciante, who took over on guitar in 1988 following the death of founding guitarist Hillel Slovak. Frusciante appeared on many of their hit albums, including 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik and 1999’s Californication.

Klinghoffer was with the group until 2019, when Frusciante returned, and appeared on 2011’s I’m With You and 2016’s The Getaway. In an interview with Guitar World, he was asked whether it bothered him that those albums are “ignored by the band.”

“Not really,” he replied. “It’s a funny thing. I guess it’s particular to the way John views the band when he’s not in it, and it makes sense to me. They have enough music that they don’t need to look to some of the other records.”

“I guess it’s just something unique to that band, you know? Having such a revolving door there, and such a strong presence in John,” he added. “He’s kind of the preeminent guitar player, you know? He’s the one who made the work with them where they experienced their global fame.”

Frusciante acknowledged that there seems to be “a little bit of a slight disrespect to the records that aren’t the John records. Once John’s back in the picture, it’s like the other records don’t exist.”

“That’s the only weird thing to me, because those records were important at the time, you know?” he said. “They were important enough to go and play them around the world.”

Klinghoffer’s solo project, Pluralone, will release the new album A Drop in the Ocean on June 12.
