What’s HARDY’s biggest source of fun on the road? (Besides the fans, of course.) Well, the “Favorite Country Song” hitmaker says all you have to do is look behind him for the answer.
“The band is awesome,” he says. “I have two guitar players and a drummer and, man, they are all unique in their own way. And I have such a great relationship with my guys.”
“We’ve been through a lot,” he continues, “and we’ve had to have, like, sometimes, like, difficult conversations and things like that, but they always resolve, and I think that just builds for, like, a really strong relationship. So I can’t say enough about how great my band is onstage and off.”
To hear HARDY talk about it, you’d think they can even cure a hangover.
“My favorite thing to do on tour, outside of playing the show, is literally — let’s just say we tied one on the night before,” he begins. “And my favorite thing to do is get off of my bus and go get on the band bus and just sit around and shoot the s*** with them for hours and we just laugh. We make jokes and it’s the favorite part of my day.”
HARDY happens to have enough guys to form a superstar band with him on his latest hit. Eric Church, Morgan Wallen and Tim McGraw all join him on the top-20 hit “McArthur.”

Katy Perry and her boyfriend Justin Trudeau made their red carpet debut Monday night at the premiere of Katy’s concert film Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live in Paris at New York’s Tribeca Festival. Katy posted plenty of photos and footage of the moment on her Instagram, but Justin’s own post included a sweet message to her.
On Tuesday afternoon, Justin posted a few photos of himself and Katy on the carpet, and wrote in the caption, “What a special night. Huge energy on screen, huge energy in the audience! So happy to be by your side, Katy.”
Katy joked in the comments, “it’s Katheryn to you, baby.” Katy’s birth name is Katheryn Hudson.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the premiere, Justin said he was excited to see the movie, because it documents Katy’s entire Lifetimes Tour set, from start to finish.
“I saw the show three times, but wasn’t really paying attention to anything but Katy,” he admitted. He laughed, “So I’m looking forward to seeing it tonight, for the first time!”
Katy also spoke to Entertainment Tonight about what it was like taking her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom with her on the tour. Katy said she wanted Daisy to be inspired by watching her mom do her thing in front of 20,000 screaming fans.
“When she gets to see me onstage feeing free and authentic, she’s just gonna be a little duplicate copy of me in her own little way, and we’ll see what that is, and I’ll support her along the way,” she said.

If Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron is looking to pivot musical styles following his departure from Pearl Jam, we think he’d make a pretty good metalcore drummer.
We say that after watching the grunge icon rock out to Bad Omens in the latest edition of Drumeo‘s “For the First Time” series.
As part of the YouTube channel’s challenge, drummers are tasked with coming up with their own part to a song they’ve never heard before while playing along to a drumless version of the track. For Cameron, Drumeo chose the Bad Omens song “Just Pretend,” which, despite hitting #1 on both the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay and Alternative Airplay charts, was completely new to him.
After a few takes, Cameron delivered a final “Just Pretend” performance that included some of his signature tom grooves that will be familiar to any Soundgarden fans.
“Bad Omens f****** rules,” Cameron declared after learning the identity of the band. “It’s a good song, man.”
At the end of the video, Drumeo showed Bad Omens drummer Nick Folio reacting to Cameron’s rendition.
“Wow, excellent job, Matt, that was awesome,” Folio responded.
Cameron announced his departure from Pearl Jam in 2025, ending his 27-year tenure with the “Even Flow” rockers. He later clarified that he’s “still an active musician” and will be performing at Tom Morello’s Power to the People festival in October.
Pearl Jam, meanwhile, is set to reveal their new drummer during their headlining set at Eddie Vedder’s Ohana Festival in September.
As for Bad Omens, you can catch them headlining Ohio’s Inkcarceration festival in July.
Following Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny, Tyla is the latest Grammy-winning artist to be involved with Toy Story 5. Like Bad Bunny, she’s voicing a character in the film, but only in a certain part of the world.
Disney Africa‘s Instagram account announced that Tyla will play Inflatable Flamingo in the sub-Saharan version of the film, which will be seen in select African countries, including Tyla’s home of South Africa.
In a YouTube video that shows her recording her part, Tyla says of being involved in the franchise, “I just couldn’t believe that the offer was even presented to me. … I just grew up watching Toy Story — it’s such a big movie in my family. My parents love it, my whole family loves it. … So the fact that now we get to watch it and hear a little bit of my voice in it is insane.”
“I just remember growing up watching it, and trying to peek through a door to see if my toys actually moved,” she recalls.
Meanwhile, Taylor has contributed the song “I Knew It, I Knew You” to the soundtrack, while Bad Bunny will voice a character called Pizza with Sunglasses.

If you’re worried that Sam Mendes’ four Beatles films may get a bit repetitive, one of the actors in those films is here to ease your mind.
Adam Pally, who plays controversial music exec and one-time Beatles manager Allen Klein in the films, reveals in a new interview with The Direct that each film will be unique.
When asked to explain how different he thinks the films will be, Pally was careful with his answer, but did offer some insight.
“I will try to answer in the most allowed way possible, but I would say that they are totally different,” he said. “The way The Beatles were individually, totally different, and the movies reflect each Beatles’ tone, in a way.”
“So, they all go together beautifully, and then they also are all individually perfect in that way, you know?” he added.
The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event is set to open in April 2028. It stars Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.
The Sony films will mark the first time Apple Corps Ltd. and The Beatles have granted a studio the rights to the life stories of band members and their legendary catalog of music.

Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker are ruining the friendship in the new Hulu comedy series Alice and Steve. The two star as the titular best friends whose relationship is tested when Steve starts dating Alice’s adult daughter, Izzy.
It’s being described as a “wrong com” instead of a rom-com, but Walker tells ABC Audio that while her character, Alice, might call it that, she believes it’s more nuanced.
“I think it’s hugely problematic and going to, you know, [be] a grenade that blows up everybody’s lives. But I don’t think it’s wrong,” she says of the relationship between Steve and the 26-year-old Izzy.
“No one is right and nobody is wrong completely, but everyone behaves appallingly at times,” she adds. “And yet you understand them and sympathize with them, I think.”
Clement says there’s “a lot of gray area” in terms of the characters’ behavior, and while he doesn’t necessarily relate to Steve, he at least feels for him.
“He is extremely lonely when we begin, and he’s just lost a good friend, a mutual friend of his and Alice’s,” Clement says. “And so he’s thinking about his entire life at that moment.”
All six episodes of Alice and Steve are now streaming on Hulu.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship, according to People.
The Wicked co-stars have amicably called it quits after nearly three years of dating, according to a source who spoke to Peoplethis week.
ABC News reached out to Grande’s and Slater’s representatives for comment.
Slater and Grande met while working on Wicked, which began filming in December 2022. Grande played Glinda in the film, while Slater played Boq.
The pair were first photographed together at Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar party in March 2023, alongside their Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo.
Grande and Slater, both of whom were married previously, were spotted together in public a few times, including in October 2023, when Grande attended Spamalot on Broadway to support Slater, who was appearing in the show.
They appeared to make their relationship Instagram official in November 2024, when they each shared the same behind-the-scenes photo of themselves at the Wicked premiere in Sydney, Australia.
When Grande was nominated for best supporting actress at the Critics Choice Awards in 2025 for her turn as Glinda, Slater spoke with ABC’s Good Morning Americaon the carpet about what it was like to see Grande take on the role.
“It’s really moving,” Slater said at the time. “When somebody’s wanted to play a role for so long, something that’s meant so much to her, it’s meant so much to everyone on the cast, and then everybody had to really go for it and earn these roles and deliver every day on set, I feel immensely proud of Ariana, of Cynthia, of [Jonathan Bailey], of every single person.”
Grande is currently on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which kicked off on June 6, in Oakland, California.
She is expected to make stops across North America in Los Angeles, Austin, New York, Boston, Montreal, and more, before hitting the stage at The O2 in London on Aug. 15 for a multi-show run.
Her upcoming album, petal, will be released July 31.
