BLACKPINK isn’t done touring North American just yet. Rosé, Jisoo, Lisa and Jennie will hit the stage in Las Vegas on Friday (Aug. 18) for an “encore” performance of the Born Pink World Tour.
The group made history last week with sold-out, back-to-back concerts at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
BLACKPINK’s “encore” tour will include upcoming shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The extended tour has already made history with BLACKPINK joining Beyoncé and Taylor Swift as the only female acts to sell out back-to-back shows at MetLife.
BLACKPINK will bring the tour to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Aug. 18, San Francisco’s Oracle Park on Aug. 22 and L.A.’s Dodger Stadium on Aug. 26.
BLINKs can purchase resale tickets on Ticketmaster starting at approximately $121 and there are several tickets priced well below $200. Currently, the cheapest ticket prices that we’ve found start at $90 (for the Las Vegas concert) but most around closer to $117-$145 on Vivid Seats, StubHub and Seat Geek. The more expensive seats, located closer to the stage, are priced around $400-$1,200 depending on the date.
BLACKPINK Born Pink Encore World Tour Tickets $from $90
BLACKPINK’s North American extended tour run will once again end in Los Angeles, but this time at Dodger Stadium. Last year, the group ended the North American tour with two, back-to-back shows at the Banc of California Stadium.
It’s been a great year for BLACKPINK as the group celebrates its seventh anniversary and other milestones like headlining Coachella in April. The Born Pink tour launched last October in Seoul, South Korea. The tour made stops in London, Paris, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Amsterdam and other cities around the glob.

Cloud Pink, a “sister scent” to the original Cloud fragrance, is currently available online at Ultabeauty.com. The fragrance drops in Ulta stores on Aug. 20.
In the promo video, shot by Zoey Grossman, Grande looks carefree in a light pink tutu and cropped crochet sweater, followed by a purple number and a pink tool dress.
The “7 Rings” singer worked with French perfumer Clement Gavarry to create Cloud Pink, which features a blend of rich berries, pink pineapple, dragon fruit, vanilla orchid, blush ambrette, musk and sweetened praline.
“I can’t begin to describe how excited I am to launch Cloud Pink,” Grande said in a news release announcing the fragrance on Aug. 10. “Cloud is a fragrance that will always be so close to my heart, and I thank my fans for showing it so much overwhelming love all of these years. Developing a new fragrance under this fan favorite franchise was daunting at first, but I really do think that we’ve created the perfect sister scent to the original Cloud. It’s snuck into my top favorite, as of late. I’ve been wearing it nonstop these past few months. Working with Clement and the team on this new pillar was a labor of love and has been such an exciting secret to keep!!! I couldn’t wait for the announcement, and I cannot wait for everyone to experience Cloud Pink.”
In addition to Cloud, Cloud 2.0 and Cloud Pink, Grande has released a string of other scents including Thank U, Next, God is a Woman, Mod Blush and Mod Vanilla.

Sales of flip phones spiked in the U.S. last year, due to Gen Z-ers diving deep into nostalgia, but flip phones themselves have evolved and are now competing with the likes of iPhone, Google Pixel and other popular smartphones.

In June, Motorola introduced the Razr Plus ($999.99) and Razr 40 Ultra ($1,099), an upgrade to its previous Razr released in 2020. The new-and-improved Razr manages to stand out among an already crowded market of smart phones. It has the largest display screen of any flip phone on the market at 6.9 inches, which is slightly larger than the 6.7-inch screen on Samsung’s Z Flip 5. The outer display screen is also bigger than competitors at 3.6 inches.
Is the Motorola Razr worth buying? If you’re ready to make the leap over to flip phones, the Razr Plus is a fun, functional and pretty damn cool, pocketable phone. It’s become my go-to gadget for snapping selfies, surfing the web and streaming and recording videos, and it fits nicely in my smaller purses and fanny packs.
The Razr Plus display screen features 2,640 x 1080 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate. The outer screen is 1066 x 1056 (413ppi for both screens).

Versatility is what makes Razr Plus so much fun for me personally, namely because it works just as well when it’s open as when it’s closed. You can access plenty of apps, make phone calls and take photos while the phone is closed. When the phone is open to its full screen, I use it to stream videos because the picture quality is extremely clear compared to my iPhone 12, but I also like switching between small and large screens.
The only issues that I ran into with Razr Plus, which is more of an issue with Android in general, is having to adjust the screen brightness almost constantly, even with adaptive brightness activated. From a technical perspective, Razr Plus might take some getting used to if you’re not as familiar with an Android interface but I’ve only had an iPhone for a couple years, so while it wasn’t as hard to revert back to Android, the transition might not be smooth for longtime iPhone users.
Nonetheless, Razr Plus has everything you need to stay connected and customizable display screens that make using the phone even more exciting. My personal favorite display screen is an interactive, digital character that you can watch throughout the day (think Tamagotchi, but with better graphics, and more independent). The character brushes its teeth, commutes to work and sits at a desk typing away on a computer before taking a lunch break (if you tap the screen, the character will offer you a bite of food). You can also watch the character eat dinner and go to sleep.
But back to the photo and video clarity. While some customer reviews have complained about the camera quality, I love it. Whether you’re creating content, capturing memories at concerts or music festivals or simply snapping photos for fun, Razr Plus takes crystal-clear photos and videos. The phone is equipped with Dolby Atmos audio, Bluetooth and a 32-megapixel front camera that’s excellent for selfies. It can snap photos in any light and features a 12MP wide, 13MP ultrawide camera along with functions like Auto Night Vision and Macro Vision.
The battery lasts all day — up to 38 hours of talk time — and it takes around an hour to fully charge. Razr Plus has wireless charging and fast charging capabilities; 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
Available in glacier blue, infinite black and the ultra-cool viva magenta, you can buy a Razr Plus through major phone carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile for as low as $10 per month. The phone is also available at Amazon, Best Buy and Motorola.com.
