Thomas Rhett and pop star Niall Horan together on one bill? It may seem like an unusual pairing, but the two are teaming up for two stadium dates this summer.
Niall writes on Instagram, “When TR brought up the idea of doing these, I immediately got so excited just thinking about it. We’ve been friends for ages and it just makes perfect sense.”
Niall says during these two shows they’ll “each play our own sets but also play together and do some special stuff.”
This won’t be the first time the two have sung together. Niall and Thomas recorded a duet version of TR’s song “Old Tricks” as a bonus track on the digital deluxe reissue of his album About a Woman.
Thomas says in a statement, “There’s nothing I love more than being on the road alongside longtime friends — it’s going to be a blast for us and the fans.”
The shows are set to take place July 9 at GEODIS Park in Nashville and July 18 at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania. You can sign up now at niallhoran.comfor access to the presale, which starts at 10 a.m. local time Wednesday. The general sale begins Friday.

A never-before-seen George Michael concert film is set to hit the big screen.
The film, George Michael: The Faith Tour, features footage from Michael’s two-night stand at Paris’ Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 1988 during his first-ever solo tour. The long lost film has now been restored and remastered and will be released in theaters later this year.
According to a press release, the concert film, directed by Michael’s longtime collaborators Andy Morahan and David Austin, “captures a turning point that transformed George Michael from a global superstar into a singular, era-defining artist, whose influence continues to reverberate across music, fashion, and culture today.”
It will open with Mary McCartney’s short film, Finding Faith, which features a previously unheard interview with Michael, previously unseen photos from photographer Herb Ritts and behind-the-scenes footage of the music video for “Faith.”
In addition to the concert film, a new live album, The Faith Tour, will be released this year, featuring 18 previously unreleased recordings of songs from Michael’s solo and Wham! catalogs.
Details on when and where George Michael: The Faith Tour will be released will be announced at a later date.

Jack White has shared a statement clarifying his comments comparing his songwriting style to Taylor Swift’s.
The “Seven Nation Army” rocker brought up the pop superstar in an interview with The Guardian about his new book, Collected Lyrics and Selected Writings Volume 1. He was asked if any of his songs are “entirely autobiographical.”
“Not too much,” White replied. “Now it’s become very popular in the Taylor Swift way of pop singers writing about all of their publicly aired break-ups, which I don’t find interesting at all. I think it’s a little bit boring for me to write about myself.”
According to Rolling Stone, White has since shared and deleted an Instagram post stating, “I didn’t say that I think Taylor Swift’s music was ‘boring’ or whatever click bait the net is trying to scrape together.”
“What I was trying to say in an interview I did about poetry and lyric writing, was that I don’t find it interesting at all for ME to write about MYSELF in my own lyric writing and poetry because I think that it could be repetitive for ME to always write about and It could be uninteresting for people who listen to my music to delve into, and that imaginary characters are more attractive to me as a writer,” White wrote.
“Because I say I have a way of doing things doesn’t mean that I think that EVERYONE should do it the same way,” White added while mentioning Swift’s “tremendous success.” “They should do what works for them, And they do, and it is obviously appealing to many people, and I’m glad to hear that.”

Jill Hennessy, best known for her roles in Crossing Jordan and Law & Order, is starring in Hope Valley: 1874, the new prequel to Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart. ButHennessy, who’s also a singer-songwriter, has also been flying from the show’s Canadian set to New York City to play a concert series at City Winery, with the next one scheduled for Thursday.
The concert series, called Ghosts In My Head: Stories from Edmonton to New York, sees Hennessy performing her own music, plus songs from her musical influences, such as U2, Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. The goal, she says, is to create an autobiographical theater piece similar to Springsteen on Broadway.
“This will eventually become a one-woman show. … And right now it’s intimate, I’m talking with the audience, I’m telling them my stories,” Hennessy tells ABC Audio. “So I’m gonna look back at all this, see what was the most potent, what was the most relevant and then condense it all into one show.”
Hennessy says that even during her Law & Order years, her music was always present.
“I was bringing the guitar to set and we’d play at lunch hour,” she recalls. “We had the whole squad room filled with a lot of the crew and whatever guest actor was [on] and we’d just be singing. … And then on Crossing Jordan, I would play my songs for the hair and makeup crew to see what they thought.”
Hennessy says she’s been doing the same while filming Hope Valley, which premieres March 21.
“Sometimes I try out my material on them, too. Like, ‘I’m thinking of introducing this song with this. Do you think that’s resonant?'” she explains. “So I have to thank the whole cast and crew of Hope Valley because they have been incredibly helpful.”

(NEW YORK) — Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon signed a bill into law on Monday banning abortion in the state after a “fetal heartbeat” has been detected.
HB 126, or the Human Heartbeat Act, prohibits abortion once cardiac activity is identified, which is around six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they’re pregnant.
If cardiac activity is detected, an abortion can only be performed in the case of a medical emergency, meaning if the life of the mother is in danger or if continuing the pregnancy would cause serious or irreversible impairment of a major bodily function, according to the bill.
The bill does not include exceptions for pregnancies as a result of rape or incest.
Any person who intentionally or knowingly violates the act will be charged with a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both, according to the bill.
“Today I signed the Human Heartbeat Act into law, reaffirming my view that life is sacred. I resoundingly share the determination to defend the lives of unborn children and support the intentions behind the Human Heartbeat Act,” Gordon wrote in a post on X on Monday.
Previously, abortion was allowed in Wyoming until fetal viability, which occurs between 24 and 26 weeks of gestation.
Wyoming is now the fifth state at least to have a “heartbeat ban” following bans enacted in Florida, Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina.
“This ban is an attack on Wyomingites’ constitutional freedom to make their own health care decisions, and it puts the health and well-being of our communities at risk,” Julie Burkhart, president of Wellspring Health Access, Wyoming’s only abortion clinic, said in a statement.
“Every day that this law is in effect means people in our state will face even greater barriers to abortion care — and some may be denied this care altogether,” the statement continued. “With so many across Wyoming already struggling to access reproductive health care, restrictive policies like these take us further in the wrong direction.”
Burkhart said Wellspring Health Access is prepared to challenge the ban in court and will continue to work with regional and national partners to help patients access the care they need.
Gordon wrote in the post on X that he was concerned the bill was “well-intentioned” but would lead to a “fragile legal effort with significant risk of ending in the courts rather than in lasting, durable policy.”
Gordon suggested that voters should decide on the issue and that a question be placed on a ballot asking if an abortion ban should be cemented in the state constitution.

(NEW YORK) — President Donald Trump said on Monday he doesn’t “know enough” about the strike on an Iranian elementary school that Iran says killed at least 168 people, including dozens of children, but that he was “willing to live” with the findings of a U.S. investigation into the incident.
A newly surfaced video appears to show a U.S.-made missile, a Tomahawk, hitting a building in Iran adjacent to the girls’ school, experts told ABC News.
Trump suggested Monday it could have been a Tomahawk fired by Iran.
“I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, it’s sold and used by other countries, you know that,” Trump said. “And whether it’s Iran, who also has some Tomahawks, they wish they had more, but, whether it’s Iran or somebody else, the fact that a Tomahawk — a Tomahawk is very generic, it’s sold to other countries. But that’s being investigated right now.”
The U.S. makes and sells Tomahawks to its closest allies, including the U.K. and Australia. But it has never sold the technology to Iran or other adversaries. While other countries like Russia use cruise missiles, only the U.S. makes Tomahawks, as the missile experts say appears to be seen in the video of the school strike.
Israel has already said it wasn’t operating in the area of the school bombing.
The president faced questions Monday on the Feb. 28 incident during a news conference at Trump National Doral Miami, including his comment over the weekend that Iran was behind it.
“Based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Saturday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing just behind the president on the plane, said the matter was under investigation and that “only side that targets civilians is Iran.”
But pressed on those remarks, Trump said on Monday, “I just don’t know enough about it.”
“I think it’s something that I was told is under investigation. But Tomahawks are –are used by others, as you know. Numerous other nations have Tomahawks. They buy them from us,” Trump said.
“But I will certainly, whatever the report shows, I’m willing to live with that report,” the president continued.
The U.S. military was striking targets in the country last Saturday in an area where an elementary school was hit and dozens of children were killed, two people familiar with the initial findings previously told ABC News.
An analysis of satellite imagery by ABC News suggests the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab was near an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps compound but had been separated from it more than decade ago.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, rejected Trump’s claim that Iran was behind the hit on the girls’ elementary school.
