On Tuesday (Aug. 8), the two announced their partnership and showed off the new handcrafted guitar, which reimagines the songbird design. As a longtime player of Gibson guitars, this was a dream come true for the Come Get Your Wife singer.
“I have been playing Gibson acoustic guitars for so long now, so to be able to partner with such an iconic brand to create my own version of the classic Hummingbird is a dream come true,” said Lambert in a press release. “I hope this encourages musicians everywhere – especially young girls – to pick up a Bluebird and chase the same dream that guitars have made come true for me.”
In celebration of the new launch, Gibson posted a photo of Lambert with her guitar on Instagram.
“ANNOUNCING: The Miranda Lambert Bluebird. @MirandaLambert has solidified her legacy as one of the most pivotal artists in modern-day country music. We are proud to honor her music and mission by adding this variation on the iconic Hummingbird to our core lineup,” the caption read.

Queen Bey used One/Size ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray from Patrick Starrr’s makeup collection. Celebrity makeup artist Rokael Lizama — whose clients include Beyoncé, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and Nicole Scherzinger — tagged Starrr in an Instagram post over the weekend captioned in part, “The elements, rain or shine did her thing!!!” adding “@ @patrickstarrr I Love You!! Your spray helped us through the show!!! @onesize.”
Starrr shared the exciting news on TikTok. “Her makeup artist Rokael , who I’ve known for years, is her makeup artists on tour,” Starrr explained in the video posted Monday (Aug. 7). “Last night at the concert it rained and he texted me today at 2:14 p.m. ‘OneSize Spray come through!’ And I was like what?!”
The second night of Beyoncé’s back-to-back shows in Washington, D.C., hit a delay due to severe thunderstorms. The Grammy winner paid $100,000 to extend the D.C. Metro hours to ensure that fans made it home safely. The Renaissance Tour rolls into Charlotte on Wednesday (Aug. 9), followed by three shows in Atlanta starting on Friday (Aug. 11).
According to the product description, OneSize waterproof setting spray keeps your makeup in place for up to 16 hours (and juding by Queen Bey’s Instagram photos, it clearly works in a rainstorm). It features notes of green tea, cucumber and citrus and melon and gives off a “blurred matte finish.”
The setting spray, which retails for $17-$32, is currently sold out at Sephora and OneSize Beauty.com, but it’s available at Amazon (at a higher price). Besides setting spray, the One/Size also carries setting powder, mascara, waterproof matte primer, concealer and more.

Ciara is officially a soon-to-be mom of four. The 37-year-old vocalist revealed Tuesday (Aug. 8) that she’s expecting her third baby with husband Russell Wilson, and her fourth child altogether.
The news comes as a sneaky Instagram video, in which Ciara stands beside an indoor pool, backlit so that only her silhouette is visible. It’s only when she turns to the side that her baby bump becomes visible, confirming that the star is pregnant.
“’You look at me like that again, we make another kid…,” she captioned the post, quoting lyrics from her new song “How We Roll” with Chris Brown. “You my heart I’m your rib’ 🥰😘❤️”
The “One, Two Step” singer is already mom to three kids, including 9-year-old son Future Zahir Wilburn, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Future. After marrying Wilson in 2016, she and the Denver Broncos quarterback welcomed daughter Sienna Princess in 2017 followed by son Win Harrison in 2020.
The pregnancy news means that Wilson is getting exactly what he wanted, having asked Ciara on daytime television for more babies in 2022. While Ciara was filling in for Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last year, the NFL star appeared as a guest and, getting down on one knee, asked, “I have a question for you. A serious question. Can we have more babies? It will be perfect. Just give me one more at least, you know what I mean?”
The announcement also comes just four days after “How We Roll” dropped, meaning she shot the accompanying music video with Brown while pregnant. The song follows previous 2023 singles from Ciara “Da Girls,” “Slow” with Jackson Wang and “Get Loose” with AGNEZ MO.
“How We Roll” marks the lead single off Ciara’s upcoming EP CiCi, which she spoke about in an interview with Billboard earlier this week. She also reflected on the 20-year anniversary of her debut album Goodies, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and spawned three consecutive smash hits on the Billboard Hot 100: the Missy Elliott-assisted “1, 2 Step” (No. 2), the Ludacris-featuring “Oh” (No. 2), and the No. 1-peaking “Goodies” (with Petey Pablo).
“I feel blessed. I feel like I’m just getting started at the same time,” she told Billboard. “To know that it was 20 years ago that I was just really, really ambitious… dreaming big, I envisioned that I’d be sitting somewhere like this 20 years later.”
