Ingrid Andress’ “Now I Know” (Warner Records Nashville)
The latest preview of Ingrid Andress’ third album — and her first new music of 2026 — will arrive on Friday with a track called “Now I Know.”
“We tend to glamorize what ‘growing’ and ‘self discovery’ look like without acknowledging the pain it also takes to break out of the cocoon that kept you safe,” she says. “The beauty of knowing you made it through those ugly, difficult times is what makes all the heartbreak worth it. You learn to trust and believe in yourself again and that is something only you can know after seeing it through to the other side.”
“I wrote ‘Now I Know’ to encourage myself and others to face and let go of the things that no longer serve us because we are capable of having the happiness we’ve imagined for ourselves,” she adds.
Ingrid co-wrote and co-produced the new song, the first of more new music that’s ahead as she puts the finishing touches on the follow-up to 2022’s Good Person, which featured the #1 “Wishful Drinking” with Sam Hunt.
Her debut, 2020’s Lady Like, launched her first #1, “More Hearts Than Mine,” and led to a Grammy nom in the all-genre best new artist category.

Dr. Dre and Dionne Warwick will be honored at the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music’s American Music Honors.
This year’s other honorees include Patti Smith, The E Street Band and the Doors.
Launched in 2023, the American Music Honors recognizes entertainers whose contributions have a lasting impact on the music industry.
“The artists we’re honoring this year didn’t just shape popular music—they helped define it,” Robert Santelli, founding executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, said. “Their work reflects the creativity, risk-taking, and cultural exchange that sit at the heart of American music, and it’s a privilege to celebrate their legacies.”
At the fourth annual event, taking place at Monmouth University in New Jersey on April 18, Springsteen will present Warwick with her honor. Producer Jimmy Iovine will represent for Dr. Dre.

(WASHINGTON) — Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Tuesday was grilled on Capitol Hill about his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, following revelations that the two men remained in contact years after Lutnick suggested he had distanced himself from the convicted sex offender.
Lutnick strongly denied any wrongdoing, but one Democrat said he had “totally misrepresented” the extent of their relationship “to the Congress, to the American people and to the survivors of his despicable criminal and predatory acts.”
Appearing before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, Lutnick was asked repeatedly about his correspondence with Epstein detailed in files recently released by the Justice Department, and President Donald Trump’s commerce secretary revealed he visited Epstein’s Caribbean island in 2012 with his family and others.
“I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies,” Lutnick testified under questioning by Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.
Lutnick told Van Hollen that another couple and their children were with them during the visit.
“We had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour, and we left with all of my children, with my nannies and my wife all together,” he said.
When asked if he saw anything inappropriate during his visit, Lutnick responded, “The only thing I saw with my wife and my children and the other couple and their children was staff who worked for Mr. Epstein on that island.”
Lutnick, who lived next door to Epstein for over a decade, previously suggested he had distanced himself from Epstein back in the mid-2000s prior to Epstein’s conviction in 2008.
“So, I was never in the room with him socially, for business or even philanthropy. If that guy was there, I wasn’t going because he’s gross,” Lutnick said on the “Pod Force One” podcast back in October.
“That’s my story. A one and absolutely done,” Lutnick said.
A spokesperson for the Department of Commerce told ABC News on Monday, “Mr. and Mrs. Lutnick met Jeffrey Epstein in 2005 and had very limited interactions with him over the next 14 years.”
However, the documents released over a week ago showed one email from Epstein’s schedule for May 1, 2011, showing plans for drinks with Lutnick.
Legal documents also showed both Lutnick and Epstein invested in the same business in 2012.
Lutnick testified that he did not have lunch with Epstein in 2011. He also testified that he had no idea about an email from the documents that said Epstein had expressed interest in meeting his nanny.
“I had no idea what that was about. Had nothing to do with me,” he testified.
Van Hollen questioned why Lutnick would make the visit even though Epstein had already been convicted.
“You made a very big point of saying that you sensed that this was a bad person in 2005 and then, of course, in 2008, he was convicted of soliciting prostitution of a minor and yet, you went and had this trip and other interactions,” the senator said.
Lutnick told the committee that he had “nothing to hide, absolutely nothing,” and would speak to the committee about sharing his own records as they relate to Jeffrey Epstein.
“I have done absolutely nothing wrong,” he testified.
Democratic Sen. Chris Coons also criticized Lutnick.
“It troubles me that you took your family to lunch on his island, that you had appointments with him. Please disclose everything. Put this to rest, because this is an issue of grave concern to my constituents,” Coons told Lutnick. “President Trump ran on releasing the Epstein files.”
Lutnick again maintained he had limited interactions with Epstein.
“I did not have anything you could call a relationship, anything you could call an acquaintance,” he told Coons
The White House has defended Lutnick, following the release of the new Epstein files.
“The entire Trump administration, including Secretary Lutnick and the Department of Commerce, remains focused on delivering for the American people,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement Monday.
Several Democratic lawmakers, however, have called on Lutnick to resign because of his appearance in the files.
“It’s now clear that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has been lying about his relationship with Epstein. He said he had no interactions with Epstein after 2005, yet we now know they were in business together. Lutnick must resign or be fired,” Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said in an X post Sunday.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie also called for Lutnick to resign.
“So, he’s got a lot to answer for. But really, he should make life easier on the president, frankly, and just resign,” Massie told CNN Sunday.
Lutnick did not respond to questions from ABC News prior to the hearing about those calls for him to step down.
House Speaker Mike Johnson voiced confidence in Lutnick, telling reporters Tuesday that bipartisan calls for his resignation are “absurd.”
“Howard Lutnick is a great commerce secretary who’s done an extraordinary job for the country, and Thomas Massie should stop playing political games,” he said.
Reporters pressed the speaker on whether he harbors any concerns about Lutnick given his ties to Epstein.
“I don’t know anything about that. I know Howard as an individual, and I trust his word on it,” Johnson said.
Myles Smith and Niall Horan, ‘Drive Safe’ (Kyle Leeman)
Myles Smith and Niall Horan released their collaborative single “Drive Safe” on Friday, and on Monday night they gave the song its live debut in a London pub.
The two artists took over De Hems Dutch Cafe and Bar to perform an acoustic version of “Drive Safe,” as well a version of The Neighbourhood’s song “Sweater Weather,” a song that Myles often covered in his pre-fame days. They also performed outside, in front of the bar.
The bar’s Instagram post about the show also apologized to “the regulars who couldn’t get their standard Monday night pint” because of the “cheeky surprise gig.”
The venue also posted some behind-the-scenes footage of the setup for the gig, which wasn’t exactly spontaneous: there were professional cameramen filming, as well as a teleprompter and lighting.
“Drive Safe” is Myles’ follow-up to his single “Stay (If You Wanna Dance).”

Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for One Piece season 2.
The trailer for the upcoming second season of the series arrived on Tuesday, exactly one month before it debuts on Netflix. Additionally, the streaming service released new photos from the season and a letter from the manga’s creator, Eiichiro Oda, which he personally penned for the fans.
“It’s almost ready!! With Season 1, we faced the world’s question head-on: ‘Can One Piece really be adapted into live-action?!’ — and the answer spoke for itself,” Oda wrote. “Together with the stellar production team that delivered those brilliant results, we bring you season 2, which will head into the Grand Line, the most formidable sea in the world. In other words, all the conventions that were established in Season 1 will be shattered.”
The pirate adventure show is based on Japan’s highest-selling manga series of all time. It follows Monkey D. Luffy during his quest to find the fabled treasure and become King of the Pirates.
Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Taz Skylar, Emily Rudd and Jacob Romero star in season 2, which finds Luffy and the Straw Hats setting sail “for the extraordinary Grand Line—a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn,” according to its official description. “As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.”
The live-action Netflix series has Matt Owens and Joe Tracz as its co-showrunners. Season 2 of the show, called One Piece: Into the Grand Line, will be available to stream on March 10.

“The artists we’re honoring this year didn’t just shape popular music—they helped define it,” Robert Santelli, founding executive director of the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, said in a statement. “Their work reflects the creativity, risk-taking, and cultural exchange that sit at the heart of American music, and it’s a privilege to celebrate their legacies.”

(WASHINGTON) — Federal authorities are expected to unseal the affidavit they filed in support of their search of a Fulton County, Georgia, election office last month, after a federal judge ordered the document be unsealed by the end of the day Tuesday.
FBI agents on Jan. 28 seized 700 boxes containing ballots and other materials associated with the 2020 election from the county’s Elections Hub and Operations Center after obtaining a search warrant. President Donald Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims that there was voter fraud in the 2020 election, specifically in Georgia, that contributed to his election loss.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, a Trump nominee, on Sunday ordered the government to unseal the affidavit that was filed in support of the search warrant, subject to “the redaction of the names of non-governmental witnesses.”
In his ruling, Boulee noted that the government did not oppose the unsealing of the affidavit, which could provide more information on the search and the investigation that lead to it.
The ruling came after Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts filed a motion seeking the unsealing of the affidavit, as well as the return of the election documents that were seized.
Pitts said in a statement he was “pleased” with the judge’s ruling.
“Fulton County will continue to pursue every legal option to seek the return of election records and to defend our elections from possible takeover,” Pitts said. “Even in the midst of this unprecedented legal action, we will not allow our staff to be deterred or distracted from preparations for the 2026 election, which will be once again free, fair, transparent and legally compliant.”
While the judge on Sunday ordered the release of the affidavit that was the basis for the search warrant, the warrant itself authorized the FBI to search for “All physical ballots from the 2020 General Election” in addition to tabulator tapes from voting machines and 2020 voter rolls, according to a copy of the warrant that was obtained by ABC Atlanta affiliate WSB following the raid.
The warrant said the material “constitutes evidence of the commission of a criminal offense.”
The warrant listed possible violations of two statutes — one which requires election records to be retained for a certain amount of time, and another which outlines criminal penalties for people, including election officials, who intimidate voters or to knowingly procure false votes or false voter registrations.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs no more?
That’s the question many fans are asking after the couple seemed to unfollow each other on social media.
Speculation of a breakup between the music superstar and the football powerhouse began on Monday, a day after Diggs’ New England Patriots fell to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Eagle-eyed fans noticed they were no longer friends on Instagram.
Although neither Cardi nor Diggs had addressed the rumors as of Tuesday morning, comments poured in on their Instagram accounts.
“Dang why u and Stefon unfollow each other?” one fan wrote on a recent post of Cardi’s. “I hope yall didn’t break up because of the game.”
Over on Diggs’ page someone said, “I was here for Cardi, if she leaves I’m leaving too, bye.”
The couple went public with their relationship in May 2025 during an appearance at a New York Knicks basketball game. Cardi then took to social media in June with a now-deleted picture of her and Diggs sitting on a yacht.
“Chapter 5 ……Hello Chapter six,” Cardi had captioned the post, according to People.
The pair welcomed a son in November 2025. The new baby is Cardi’s fourth child; she shares three with rapper Offset, from whom she filed divorce in August 2024. Diggs has two daughters from previous relationships.
