Taylor Swift and Matty Healy break up as she readies her new album. And so does Nicki Minaj. BTS is trending with a new track. We tell you a K-pop girl group you need to know about. And five things you didn’t know about Jelly Roll. It’s Tuesday, June 6th, and this is Billboard News. Taylor Swift and Matty Healy have reportedly called their reported relationship quits and we know exactly what she’s speaking now. After splitting from longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Taylor was linked to The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. This caused an uproar from Swifties and fans stemming from information like Matty being caught watching racist pornography and laughing at racial slurs about Ice Spice. Now reports are saying Taylor is single, with People source saying, “She had fun with him, but it was always casual” and an ET source adding, “They realize they’re not really compatible with each other.” Matty has now been seen kissing security guards on tour again and drinking from a flask. All this as Taylor reveals the track list for ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ out on July 7th. The additional tracks include songs with Hayley Williams from Paramore and Fall Out Boy — and Taylor isn’t the only massive star with an album to look forward to.

Jelly Roll 0:32
First thing I want to touch on about my juvenile charges is people could have got hurt. And by the grace of God, thankfully nobody did because we were young and reckless. And I think about that all the time. I never want to minimize the nature of the seriousness of that crime. I do want to emphasize though, that I was a 15, 16-year-old child, I had yet to hit any kind of real puberty. I hadn’t hit my last growth spurt at that point, I was six inches smaller than I would end up being or seven inches in life. And just, I mean, just just in physical. So think of the mental growth. You know, they say the brain doesn’t develop until you’re 25. I was almost a decade behind that. And I was charged as an adult. years before I could buy a beer, lease an apartment, get a pack of cigarettes, I missed all of these things. But I was treated as an adult. I missed all of my high school years. I didn’t get my GED until I was in jail the third or fourth time in my 20s. So you’re like What else do you do? By the end? You’re kind of driven to the streets. You know, I feel like the justice system at that point kind of parked me in my only set path. And to this day as a 38, 39 year old man, I was just tearing down a house because the community wouldn’t let me be a part of the golf course because of my felony.

Megan Thee Stallion was seen out with soccer player Romelu Lukaku amid breakup rumors with Pardi. Saweetie & YG seemingly confirm their relationship. Both Peso Pluma and Bizarrap have been sharing teasers of their upcoming collab on their socials. We followed TOMORROW X TOGETHER as they prepared for night 1 of their shows at UBS Arena. And more!

Megan Thee Stallion and Saweetie got new boos, say what? We’re on tour with TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN. We run down the hottest songs on Twitter. Bizarrap gets a new collaborator and Davido teaches us some Nigerian slang

Tetris Kelly 0:16  

It’s Wednesday May 31st. I’m Tetris Kelly and this is Billboard News, and before we leave this month behind let’s get into your top story. The ladies of rap are feeling the love, so who are Megan and Saweetie dating? 

Tetris Kelly 0:34  

Looks like Saweetie found someone that’s her type. I like what I did there. She was spotted in Cabo getting frisky with fellow rapper YG. They first fueled romance rumors back in March when she attended his birthday party. The two have collaborated twice in the past but we’re not sure when things got romantic. As for Megan It looks like she’s got a new boo too. Megan was spotted arm in arm with Belgian soccer player Romelu Lukaku at his teammate’s wedding in Italy. This came as a surprise to some fans because they assumed Megan and Pardi Fontaine were still an item. The two celebrated their two-year anniversary back in October and Pardi seemingly dedicated a poem to Meg earlier this month, but the two did unfollow each other on Insta. So the internet is taking this new wedding date as a sign. You do you ladies.

Matty Healy Addresses Ice Spice Comments, Blue Ivy Joins Beyoncé Onstage & More | Billboard News

Matty Healy made a lot of people upset after he laughed at racist, body-shaming comments about Ice Spice in a recent podcast appearance. Blue Ivy makes her mother proud as she joins her onstage during her shows in Paris and London. Morgan Wallen has snagged another week at No. 1, making it his 12th week at the top of the Billboard 200 charts and his track ‘Last Night’ also holds on to the No. 1 spot of the Hot 100. And more!

Tetris Kelly 0:00
Taylor’s rumored boo doubles down on controversial statements. Blue Ivy steals the show at Beyoncé’s weekend concert. Morgan Wallen’s reign on the charts continues, and we learned slang from around the world thanks to Labrinth and Nicole Zignago. Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. I’m Tetris Kelly for Billboard News. It’s Tuesday, May 30th and we’re back with some drama. Matty Healy is making headlines again. His latest words continue to rub people the wrong way. The 1975 frontman was asked about his recent racist comments on a podcast and his answer doubles down on the controversy. Matty Healy told The New Yorker that people don’t care that he mocked Asian people made fun of Ice Spice or claimed that he watched violent and racist pornography. He said, “You’re either deluded or you’re, sorry, a liar. You’re either lying that you are hurt, or you’re a bit mental for being hurt.” This comes on the heels of his rumored girlfriend Taylor Swift releasing a remix with Ice Spice and bringing her out at her concert to perform ‘Karma.’

Tetris Kelly 1:10
Swifties have voiced their concern over their fave being associated with Healy as we’re feeling he seems unconcerned. For all the latest head to Billboard.com. Now let’s move on to news everyone loves to hear: Beyoncé is killing it on tour. It was a big weekend for Beyoncé’s tour overseas as Blue Ivy took the stage, Selena Gomez and the Jenners caused a stir, and Tina gets some love. If you’re in Paris and not at Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour What were you doing? The crowd was over the moon as Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy joined her in silver and the crowds also sparkled. Kylie and Kris Jenner attended in Paris though Kylie needs to work on her ‘Heated’ lyrics a little bit. Also at that show was Megan Thee Stallion and Selena Gomez, who apparently yelled at security and people are still trying to find out why. It seems as if she was being like her friend Taylor and just saying to leave the fans alone. Dua Lipa attended the show in the UK, where Beyoncé did a tribute to the late Tina Turner of ‘River Deep Mountain High’.

Tetris Kelly 2:25
It’s time to talk about our charts. Morgan Wallen continues to make history, spending his 12th week at the top of the Billboard 200 charts with ‘One Thing At A Time,’ making it the most weeks at No. 1 for a country album in over 30 years. It surpasses the 11-week reign of Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ in 2008 to 2009 but it’s not yet caught up to Billy Ray Cyrus’ ‘Some Gave All,’ which notched 17 weeks at No. 1 in 1992. Elsewhere on the chart we have two top 10 debuts as Dave Matthews Band earns its fourteenth top 10 with ‘Walk Around the Moon’ at No. 5. And Ghost logs its fourth top 10 as ‘Phantomime’ bows at No. 7. Over on the Hot 100 Morgan Wallen holds onto the top spot with ‘Last Night’ while Bad Bunny sees a top 10 debut, landing at No. 8 with his latest ‘Where She Goes.’

Jelly Roll 3:22
What’s up y’all! Billboard is coming to Nashville to do a question and answer with me at the country summit and you can get your tickets now! Get your tickets, come see me. I’ll be talking that.

Tetris Kelly 3:33
Now we move on to the educational portion of the show. We got together with Labrinth and he taught us some of his favorite slang.

Labrinth 3:40
Hey guys, my name is Labrinth. And this is my favorite British slang

Labrinth 3:49
The first one is “headtop.” If you come into my studio and you hear a banging beat, I’m going to be like, “Yo, what do you think of the song” and you go “headtop.” And that means like, “It’s so crazy” that it’s taking your head off. We got a “mad thing.” And this one makes me laugh because my missus, she grew up in Denmark, and she thought we were actually saying mud, but Patois Jamaicans would say “mad” as “mud” is a “mud thing cus…” and so when you say “mud”, it means that “it’s a crazy thing,” “this thing is wild.” So we say “poppin’ off.” So let’s say Labrinth after Coachella, people are like “This guy’s poppin’ off,” that means that your “success is growing” or people are starting to kind of see who you are.

Tetris Kelly 4:40
From the UK to South America, Nicole Zignago broke down her favorite slang from Peru.

Nicole Zignago 4:45
Hola, yo soy Nicole Zignago y estas son mis frases favoritas de Perú. Mi frase favorita peruana creo que tendría que ser “Qué Palta”, que significa como “uy”, como “That sucks”. Como “¡Qué palta!”. Al final, palta es avocado in Peru so, I don’t know, that’s random, but I really like it. Y otra podría ser “Qué Chévere”. Chévere lo utilizamos mucho. I really like that one. “Huevón”, “Huevona”. We say that a lot. It’s like “Hey, dude. What’s up, dude?” Yeah.

Tetris Kelly 5:19
Wooh I got a lot of slang to use. That’s it for today make sure to come back tomorrow to see what songs are trending on Twitter and we break down the songs making a comeback thanks to TikTok. I’m Tetris Kelly and this is Billboard News.

Lauren Jauregui Talks About Her New Solo Music, Reminisces on Fifth Harmony Memories & More | Billboard News

Lauren Jauregui tells us all about her new music off her EP ‘In Between’, exploring her sexuality through her music, Fifth Harmony’s 10th anniversary, and more!

Lauren Jauregui 0:00
You should listen to my music. That’s what I would say. Go check it out. Check me out, like it’s good sh–. It’s good sh–. Can I say sh–? You can. Hey, what’s up? I’m Lauren Jauregui and this is Billboard News

Tetris Kelly 0:22
It’s Tetris with Billboard News and I’m so happy to be hanging out with my friend Lauren. Hey, beautiful. How are you?

Lauren Jauregui 0:27
Hello, I’m good. How are you?

Tetris Kelly 0:29
I’m amazing. Thanks for hanging out with us. We got to talk about this music. You’re not new to the solo game. I mean, from ‘Expectations’ and all the success you had with that and so many releases. Tell me what about this EP, that’s going to be so different.

Lauren Jauregui 0:39
I think there’s, there’s more movement to this EP. This is a continuation of ‘Prelude’ which is my first EP that I dropped

Lauren Jauregui 0:53
Kind of the sound and vibe that I was, I’ve been cultivating from that point. I’ve been writing since like, 2018. And these songs are from that era, I haven’t really locked in to start writing new stuff yet. So it’s kind of a continuation of a story that would have been told maybe in the past,

Tetris Kelly 1:07
Let’s talk about your lead single. Now ‘Wolves’, you got two amazingly talented people on it: Ty Dolla $ign and Russ. Why were those two guys the perfect people?

Lauren Jaureugi 1:15
This song was written back in like 2019. So Russ and I have always been friends, you know, he’s an independent artist as well. And I learned a lot from him and all of the wisdom he puts out into the world as an artist and I felt very connected to him and we like grew a friendship, just like kind of knowing each other, and then Ty heard the track and loved it and wanted to hop on it. So he did.

Tetris Kelly 1:37
But as we break down this EP, tell me a little bit more about some of the other tracks and what they mean.

Lauren Jaureugi 1:41
I love all of these songs, there are six of them, two of them are already out in the world, which are ‘Always Love’ and ‘Trust Issues,’ which I feel give a very vulnerable kind of take on my songwriting, they’re very just like my vocals and some strings and a guitar, for the most part. But I opened the project with a spoken word piece that’s overseeing music that my friend Powers produced, which is really beautiful and kind of goes even more in depth into the meaning of ‘In Between.’ For me, it’s a poem specifically about that. It’s called ‘Meet Me In the In Between’.

Tetris Kelly 2:24
And something that I also have felt I’ve watched you do is kind of like grow and bloom into your sexuality as well. I’ve been very proud of you. Because like you were unfairly outed in 2016. But now you’ve kind of just owned your stuff. Yeah. And you’re out and proud and living your life. I loved your Valentine’s Day post. So how was that?

Lauren Jaureugi 2:43
I mean, it’s life. I’m older now. I was 16 when I started in this industry, and I’m now 26. So I feel like you blossom into yourself over the course of those years, you discover yourself, you meet people, you fall in love, you fall out of love, and you learn yourself. And I think even when it comes to expression and identity and sexuality, I’m very fluid. So I feel like I’ll continue to discover and engage with different parts of myself because I grow.

Tetris Kelly 3:13
Talking about growth, obviously growing as a solo artist, you know, you obviously were a part of a massive group. And one of your members recently, Dinah, she said that she quit doing solo music in 2020 because of depression and pressure. So is that something you have ever connected with? Or do you feel like there’s a pressure as being a solo artist?

Lauren Jauregui 3:31
Yeah, I think all of us could connect with that. I feel like we’ve all spoken about our stories and in respect to like that experience overall. And I think each of us needed our individual time to grow and discover our personal stories within the story of it all, you know, so I’m proud of her for getting through it and taking the time that she needed. And I hope she’s feeling beautiful because I love you.

Tetris Kelly 3:55
It feels like it was just yesterday that it was July, you guys are celebrating 10 years

Tetris Kelly 4:05
And now, it’s about to be July, again, 11 years.

Lauren Jauregui 4:09
I’m part of anything for 11 years, it’s just like a lot.

Tetris Kelly 4:12
And I feel like every every other week you guys are going viral for some moment or performance. What’s one that sticks out to you that you haven’t spoken on? I need to know like when you see this on the internet, you’re like, oh, man, I can’t.

Lauren Jaureugi 4:26
Oh man. Well, with Fifth Harmony, there is an endless supply of that. There’s so much, there’s so much stuff, definitely our carpet photos. I laughed so hard at y’all’s comments about the carpet photos because I’m, I feel you.

Tetris Kelly 4:41
For people that are checking in and tuning in now. They don’t know Lauren, they don’t know Fifth Harmony. What do you feel like you want to say?

Lauren Jauregui 4:48
Hi, I’m Lauren. I’m a singer songwriter. You should listen to my music, that’s what I would say. Go check me out, like hit me up. It’s good sh–.

Tetris Kelly 4:59
Thank you so much for coming and hanging out with us, I really appreciate it.

Tetris Kelly 0:00
The ‘Barbie’ soundtrack is stacked! Sam Smith announces a project with Madonna and cancels a show. We’ve got Lauren Jauregui in studio. We run down the top Disney songs of all time and the stars remember the legend Tina Turner

Tetris Kelly 0:16
Welcome back to Billboard News, I’m Tetris Kelly, it’s Thursday, May 25th. And can I get one ticket for the ‘Barbie’ movie please? Because this soundtrack it’s everything. We already knew Dua Lipa was on the soundtrack for the ‘Barbie’ movie, but now we’ve got a whole other list of Barbies and Kens singing a tune for the film.

Tetris Kelly 0:35
Dua Lipa is not the only pop girly on the soundtrack. We’ve got Charli XCX, Lizzo, Pink Pantheress and Ava Max.

Tetris Kelly 0:53
The soundtrack features some alternative Barbies in HAIM and Gayle, plus some rapping Barbies, of course, Nicki Minaj, along with Ice Spice and Kali. Speaking of Kens, Ryan Gosling is on the soundtrack along with Dominic Fike, Khalid, Tame Impala and The Kid Laroi.

Tetris Kelly 1:23
Mark Ronson is executive producing the collection of tracks, and it’s even international with Karol G and K-pop group FIFTY FIFTY.

Tetris Kelly 1:32
Speaking of soundtracks, Disney has ruled the soundtrack charts for decades and we’re running down some of the best tracks. Pretty much everyone has heard a Disney song in their lifetime. There’s hundreds of them. To celebrate the release of Disney’s live-action film ‘The Little Mermaid’ the Billboard staff put together a list of the top 100 Disney songs. Here are the top five. A Disney classic first released in 1940, the first song on our list was made popular by a little cricket named Jiminy. It won the Oscar for Best Original Song and was Disney’s first Oscar winning track coming in at No. 5 on Billboard’s pick of top Disney songs ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’.

Tetris Kelly 2:16
The next song on the list is an upbeat classic featuring singing inanimate objects Lumiere and Cogsworth welcome us to the No.4 spot with ‘Be Our Guest’ from ‘Beauty and the Beast.’

Tetris Kelly 2:29
The next song on the list hasn’t appeared in a Disney movie at all but it’s one of the most publicly performed songs of all time. ‘It’s a Small World’ comes in at No. 3 on our list. 

Tetris Kelly 2:51
The next song on the list has been in your head since it first “froze” it’s way into our homes in 2013– can you believe it’s been 10 years! “Let It Go” is No. 2 on our staff picks! 

Tetris Kelly 3:09
And we couldn’t help but choose an iconic “Little Mermaid” song as our number one pick for top 100 Disney songs. The power ballad ‘Part of Your World’ originally sung by the voice of ‘The Little Mermaid’ Jodi Benson comes in at No. 1

Tetris Kelly 3:28
Which Disney song is your favorite? And who’s looking forward to hearing Halle Bailey sing the iconic No. 1 pick in the live-action remake? Sound off with your choices below!

Now let’s talk about Sam Smith. They’re teaming up with a legend but fans are focused on something else at the moment. Sam Smith makes headlines good and bad by upsetting some fans but Madonna makes everything better. At their concert in Manchester the ‘Too Good At Goodbyes’ singer had to exit stage after only four songs. They posted in a statement: “I fought off the virus a few weeks ago. During my third song I noticed something wrong with my voice. I came offstage and have tried everything to get my voice back in gear but it won’t. I am honestly heartbroken. I couldn’t finish the show tonight for you all.” They also posted that shows in Birmingham and Glasgow will also be rescheduled and available for refund, leaving some fans fuming and gutted. But they also had some good news yesterday: Sam announced a collab with the legendary Madonna

Tetris Kelly 4:34
If it’s anything like their work with Kim Petras on ‘Unholy’ we better be ready for a hit.

Lauren Alania 4:40
