Walker Hayes finds humor in halftime show mishap

January 31, 2022 by WDNY Radio

When Walker Hayes took the stage at Arrowhead Stadium for the halftime show yesterday, things didn’t exactly go according to plan — but he’s finding the humor in the situation.

The country star served as the headline performer at the Cincinnati Bengals versus Kansas City Chiefs game in St. Louis on Sunday. But things went a bit awry during his set, as the volume was on full blast as CBS Sports announcers James Brown, Bill Cowher, Boomer Esiason, Nate Burleson and Phil Simms were attempting to discuss the game.

In a video shared by Walker, the singer can be heard performing his latest hit “AA” live while the team of announcers try their best to talk over the loud music and provide commentary from the field.

“@CBSSports thanks for having me,” Walker captions the clip with several crying laughing emojis.

The Bengals claimed victory, solidifying their spot in the Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams on February 13.

January 31, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Halsey closed the month of January with the best news for their fans — they are going on tour.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, the “Without Me” singer unveiled their Love and Power Tour, which kicks off later this year. “It’s been far too long and I could not be more excited to see you all,” said Halsey while releasing the official poster as well as announcing the acts that’ll tag along on the multi-date tour.

Halsey has tapped Wolf Alice, Abby Roberts, PinkPantheress, The Marias and Beabadoobee to open for their 22-date tour, which is in support of their Grammy nominated album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power.

The outdoor summertime concert series kicks off in West Palm Beach, Florida, on May 17 and will take Halsey across North America’s biggest cities before wrapping on July 9 in Irvine, California. Several stops had already been in the books, such as Halsey’s scheduled appearance at the Governors Ball on June 11 in New York City.

Tickets for the Love and Power Tour go on sale this Friday on the tour’s official website. Those who previously purchased tickets to Halsey’s Manic Tour will be able to access the presale on Tuesday, February 1, starting at 10 a.m. EST.

In other Halsey news, the singer is nursing an injured foot after falling out of their chair during a sexy photo shoot. The “Nightmare” singer shared footage of the bizarre injury to TikTok, which shows them seductively rising out of their chair before they lose balance and clatter to the ground.

In new doc, Janet Jackson says she and Justin Timberlake are “very good friends,” and have “moved on”

January 31, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Janet Jackson fans are still furious at Justin Timberlake for his role in the infamous 2004 Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction,” which led to her career taking a hit while he emerged relatively unscathed. But it turns out that Janet herself isn’t angry at Justin, so she’d like her fans to move on, just as she and Justin have.

As Access Hollywood reports, in the second half of Janet’s new Lifetime documentary that aired on Saturday night, we see a video that Janet filmed for fans, in which she says, “This whole thing was blown way out of proportion. Of course, it was an accident that should not have happened, but everyone is looking for someone to blame and that’s got to stop.”

She adds, “Justin and I are very good friends and we will always be very good friends. We spoke just a few days ago and he and I have moved on, and it is time for everyone else to do the same.”

About a year ago, Justin issued an apology via Instagram to both Janet and his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears, in which he admitted that he’d “benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.”

The documentary also reveals that in the aftermath of what’s now known as “Nipplegate,” Janet was “disinvited” from the Grammys, which led her then-boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri, to resign from the board of the Recording Academy. In addition, Janet shares that Justin did offer to speak out on her behalf, but she told him not to.

Finally, the doc reveals that Justin asked Janet to perform with him when he headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2018. She declined, saying that it would have been “stretching out the past, reliving something that happened over 10 years ago.”

January 31, 2022 by WDNY Radio

(NEW YORK) — The Midwest is bracing for a storm that could bring major snowfall and leave dangerous ice on roadways.

The storm is set to strike Tuesday through Thursday. A winter storm watch has been issued from Colorado to Michigan, including Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit.

More than 1 foot of snow is possible between Chicago and Indianapolis and also near Detroit.

This storm is expected to drop freezing rain and sleet — leaving dangerous, icy roads — in a huge part of the country, especially in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

By Thursday morning the wind chill — what temperature it feels like — is forecast to drop to 14 degrees in St. Louis, 0 degrees in Chicago, minus 25 degrees in Minneapolis, minus 17 degrees in Amarillo, Texas, and minus 16 in Denver.

Meanwhile, by the end of the week the Northeast will be thawing out, with temperatures rising to the mid 40’s in New York City and Boston.

Lauv says he threw out his entire creative process when making his new album

January 31, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Lauv gave fans their first taste of his upcoming new album on Friday, when he released his vulnerable new single “26,” which finds the hitmaker realizing he chased after the wrong things in life.

Speaking to Billboard, Lauv says he completely overhauled his creative process when making his new album because he didn’t like the pace at which he was working. “I didn’t even realize how much of a workaholic I was — because it’s like, obviously making music is so fun, but I had no balance in my life,” he admitted.

That’s what inspired the depressive track “26,” where he acknowledges money and fame doesn’t equal happiness. He compared that realization to climbing a mountain and finding the journey to the top was not worth the effort. “I was so detached from my center — so it’s not so much the view as it was just looking out and feeling so empty and groundless on the inside,” Lauv described.

He says that life lesson is what inspired him to toss out everything he knew about songwriting and give freestyling a try. Lauv said the music began to flow because he stopped obsessing over the lyrics.

“Let the moments that are hooky be hooky, let the moments that are wordy be wordy,” said Lauv. “And I feel like writing this album was kind of an exercise of pushing out of that, [and] being like, ‘What happens if I don’t think at all what I’m going to say? I don’t plan on what I’m going to say, no one ever even needs to hear it, who cares!’ I really wrote every song from that place.”

Teased Lauv, “What I think is going to make this album really special is that it’s really raw.” A release date is forthcoming.
