Jay-Z has expanded the celebration of his 30-year career by adding another show to his upcoming run of performances. He will perform at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sept. 4, which is so far his only scheduled U.K. stop.

O2 and Virgin Media presales begin Thursday at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the general sale on Friday at 10 a.m. local time at livenation.co.uk. 

The London show will follow Jay-Z’s three-night stand at Yankee Stadium on July 10, 11 and 12, celebrating Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint and his broader discography, respectively.

The performance also comes one week before he takes the stage in Paris and ahead of an Oct. 23 concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Dolly: A True Original Musical will officially open at New York City’s St. James Theatre on Jan. 19, 2027, Dolly Parton’s 81st birthday. Previews are set to start on Dec. 7.

“This isn’t about a story about sparkle and shine on the outside,” Parton said in a video announcing the move to Broadway. “It’s about where I really come from — what I’ve lived, what I’ve lost, what I’ve loved, and how I found my way and told it in my own words — and through the music, it’s been part of me every step of the journey.”

The show had a sold-out run at Nashville’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Belmont University last summer.

The stage show features some of Dolly’s greatest hits, like “9 to 5,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Jolene” and “Coat of Many Colors,” as well as original songs she wrote especially for the production.

Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, who directed the musical’s Nashville run, will also lead the Broadway version.

“Dolly has never really shared her story before. She’s offered glimpses and peeks, but this musical allows her to reveal the unfiltered story in her own words,” Sher says. “As we prepare to come to Broadway, we’re thrilled to show that rhinestones were never her whole story.”

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. ET but a presale will be available starting Thursday at 10 a.m. ET. To sign up, visit DollyMusical.com.

A federal judge in Florida has dismissed a poet’s lawsuit alleging Taylor Swift stole her themes and ideas to write the songs “The Man,” “The Great War,” “I Can Do it with a Broken Heart” and more.

Self-published poet Kimberly Marasco alleged Swift infringed on her rights in various poems she had written between 2017 and 2021, which Swift denied.

Among the allegations in her lawsuit, which identified several Swift songs released between 2019 and 2024, Marasco claimed that Swift infringed on her poem “Ordinary Citizen” — which contained the line, “I’m running behind/ You say it’s His word against mine” — with the song “The Man,” which contains the lyric, “I’m so sick of running as fast as I can/ Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man.”

Both the poem and Swift’s song describe a woman working in a male-dominated office environment, Marasco alleged.

Marasco also alleged Swift’s song “The Great War” (with the lyrics “Diesel is desire, you were playing with fire”) infringed on her poem “The Fire” (which contains the line “Anger fuels our desire … I’m fighting fire with fire”) because both use the metaphor of “desire as fuel and fire.”

Marasco’s lawsuit also listed music producer Jack Antonoff, Republic Records, Universal Music Group and musician Aaron Dessner as defendants.

In her ruling on Tuesday, Judge Aileen Cannon wrote that these are “quintessential themes, concepts and isolated words” that copyright law does not protect.

Cannon granted Swift’s motion to dismiss, ruling that Marasco’s poems “do not contain protectable expression and that, regardless, Plaintiff has failed to plausibly plead copying.”

Tuesday’s ruling came in response to Marasco’s second amended complaint on the matter and was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be filed again.

In her decision Tuesday, Cannon wrote that the second amended complaint “closely mirrors” Marasco’s initial copyright infringement lawsuit against Swift, which was “dismissed with prejudice in September 2025 after concluding that Plaintiff had pled no protectable expression and had not plausibly alleged unlawful copying.”

“As this Court already determined in Marasco I, the allegedly infringed material-basic ideas, themes, metaphors, isolated words, and short phrases- is not protected expression and cannot be infringed,” Cannon wrote, referencing Marasco’s initial lawsuit. “Plaintiff has also failed to plausibly allege either access or substantial similarity, each of which is independently required to plead copying.”

ABC News has reached out to Marasco and a representative for Swift for comment.
