The series puts a different spin on the typical talent competition setup, with singers joining a yet-to-be-announced headlining artist on tour, and performing as opening acts in venues throughout the country. The singers will compete to win local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour.

The series aims to offer viewers a backstage pass into the life of a touring artist, with access to the behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, as viewers see what happens with rising artists pile into a tour bus and contend with a grueling schedule as they chase their musical ambitions.

Trending on Billboard

Shelton and Sheridan are both executive producers on the series, as well as Lee Metzger and David Glasser.

“I’m a big fan of Taylor’s incredible work, and I’m excited to team with him and my long-time collaborator, Lee, on The Road,” said Shelton in a statement. “I know a thing or two about singing competitions and what it’s like to chase a music dream and live life on tour. I’m looking forward to discovering new talent and giving them this platform.”

“There is a revolution taking place in country music. Building a platform with Blake for the next leaders of that revolution is an incredibly exciting venture,” Sheridan added. “No more shiny floors and studio audiences. This is where the rubber meets the road – literally. Get in the van, go to the next town and win the crowd. Do it enough, and you become the next leader. Simple as that.”

Shelton previously spent 23 seasons as a coach on the hit singing competition series The Voice and starred in the series Barmageddon, in addition to his ongoing career as a 29-time Billboard Country Airplay chart-topping country artist. Shelton recently teamed with Post Malone for the three-week No. 1 Country Airplay hit “Pour Me a Drink.” Sheridan, in addition to his work on Yellowstone, is known for shows such as 1883 (featuring country artists Tim McGraw and Faith Hill), 1923, Mayor of Kingstown and The Last Cowboy.

The Road is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, Glasser’s 101 Studios with Shelton and Metzger’s Lucky Horseshoe Productions (Shelton and Metzger serve as executive producers for Lucky Horseshoe Productions). Metzger previously worked with Shelton on both The Voice and Barmageddon.

“This project has been a true labor of love that Taylor, Blake, Lee and I have been talking about for some time now,” Glasser said. “I can’t thank CBS enough for supporting us on this journey to bring an incredible project to audiences everywhere.”

“Blake and I have been working together a long time and now joining forces with Taylor and David is literally the kind of team you dream about to bring something of this scale to country music fans,” added Metzger.

Taylor Swift has turned football stadiums into her own personal catwalk as Swifties and fashion analyzers await her game day ‘fits.

The 34-year-old pop star chose a more refined outfit to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce, with the look consisting of a tweed matching blazer and skirt set. She made sure to include a signature corset top, which has become a growing staple piece in the “Fortnight” singer’s off-stage looks. What’s even more notable is her mixing of price points within the look, including the Versace blazer and miniskirt that retails for around $5,000, while the sleek black corset top comes from Victoria’s Secret — and it’s on sale for just $35.

“I’m going to show you how to do a full face of makeup using one brush,” she says of Haus Labs’ Dual-Ended Multi-Purpose Brush.

Haus Labs Dual-Ended Multi-Purpose Brush

In the video, a bare-faced Gaga gets glam while detailing some of the benefits of her beauty line.

“Since starting Haus Labs, I’ve been able to really learn a lot about not just how people are using makeup and skincare products but also how products are made. That’s been really exciting,” she says. “One of my core goals at the company is to develop innovative and high-performing products that are meaningfully better than anything else you can find on the shelf. With our foundation, I really feel like we did that. Without using many of the harmful additives and chemicals that clean brands use every day.”

To start, Gaga applies the Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation (shade 110). Haus Labs’ foundation is powered by fermented arnica a plant-based topical used for skin irritations such as inflammation, redness, bruises and swelling.

“This ingredient is super special. It was inspired by own issues with redness on my face,” Gaga explains. “I have worn so much makeup for so many years, mostly on stage but off stage as well. Makeup really wrecked my skin, so something that’s really special about our foundation is it’s 70 percent skincare. I know we hear sometimes that foundations have a couple good ingredients in them, the truth is a lot of foundations use a little bit [of clean ingredients] and it’s not very active on the skin.”

The foundation offers light coverage with hydrating ingredients, and it’s available in 51 shades and is one of the top rated products on the brand’s site with over 11,000 customer reviews.

“It was so important that we had 51 shades,” Gaga continues. “Within 51 shades there are six shade families and within those shade families there’s a true balance. There are warm, neutral and cool tones for everyone.”

Gaga’s beauty routine includes the hydration-boosting, Haus Labs’ Tricone Concealer (shade 11), Color Fuse Blush Balm in Glassy Rosette, Hibiscus Haze Color Fuse Blush Powder and Clear Cut Liquid Eyeliner.

BLACKPINK’s LISA is stepping into her acting debut for HBO Max’s The White Lotus season three.
The HBO 2025 teaser, which features snippets of the new season, offers fans their first look at the K-pop star, credited under her given name Lalisa Manobal. She stars as Mook, a resort manager who greets new guests with a warm, “Welcome to The White Lotus in Thailand, ka.”

Set to premiere next year, White Lotus‘ third season was filmed across Thailand, making the project a homecoming for LISA, who has previously spoken of her excitement about sharing the beauty of her homeland with viewers.

In a recent interview with ELLE, LISA shared her initial reaction to being cast by The White Lotus creator Mike White, whom she called “a genius.”

Trending on Billboard

“I think I cried [when I got the role]. I was with my friends, my mum’s friends, and my mum as well, but I didn’t tell them that I auditioned for it,” LISA said. “I’m super excited and nervous, because it’s my first acting project. So I was happy for a second, and then I was like, ‘Oh, wait, wait, how am I going to deliver this?’”

Although acting is new to LISA, the BLACKPINK star noted some similarities to her work on music videos, saying, “It’s pretty new to me, but I think it’s similar to shooting music videos…I’m excited for my fans to see it.”

She added that filming in Thailand allowed her to reconnect with her roots and enjoy Thai cuisine daily. “I feel like people are going to fall in love with Thailand even more,” LISA remarked.

Beyond her new venture in television, LISA has continued to make waves in the music world. In 2024, she released her single “Rockstar,” which debuted at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200, as well as became LISA’s first-ever No. 1 hit on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. She’s also since released the Rosalía-assisted track “New Woman,” and “Moonlit Floor.”

BLACKPINK, comprised of LISA, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé, has set unprecedented records. Their highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 entry, “Ice Cream” with Selena Gomez, reached No. 13. The group made history in 2022 as the first female K-pop act to top the Billboard 200 with their album Born Pink, which also reached No. 1 on the U.K. Albums Chart.
