From “Please, Please, Please” to “Espresso,” Sabrina Carpenter has been dominating the charts and soon, she’ll be taking virtual reality by storm. The 25-year-old songstress is set to host her first VR show in Meta Horizons Worlds on Friday (July 19).

Fans can stream the VR concert in Music Valley, one of the Meta Horizons Worlds available on Meta Quest headsets. Thinking about buying one? Good news! Meta Quest 3 is currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy. This deal isn’t part of Amazon Prime Day, but Quest 3 doesn’t go on sale often (if at all), so it’s best to grab it at a discount while you still can.

Available in black, blue and pink, the 32-ounce stainless steel bottle keeps your drinks hot for up to nine hours and cold for up to 29 hours. The water bottle is equipped with a Polypropylene straw for your cold drinks, plus a built-in-slider lid designed for sipping hot drinks. It’s dishwasher safe and easy to clean, as many customers confirmed in the reviews. For water, juice, ice coffee and other beverages, Contigo has no problem showing its versatility. The stainless steel tumbler is also available at Amazon and Target, but Walmart currently has the best deal that we’ve seen online.

If you’re not familiar with Contigo, you might be familiar with one of its customers: Beyoncé.

The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer keeps her Contigo water bottle nearby (even when she’s on stage), but she’s far from the only shoppers impressed by the brand. As one Walmart shopper wrote, “This tumbler is the right size for keeping my cold brew (from home) coffee cold all day! It doesn’t really fit in my travel mug spot in the car well, but it stays there without falling out, so this is a win!”

One shopper compared Contigo to another popular tumbler that keeps drinks hot and cold for hours at a time. “This cup is as good as a Stanley at keeping my coffee hot,” reads the review. “Bought this for my fiancé who is a truck driver,” noted the shopper. “He loves that it fits in his cup holders and the drinks stay cold for hours.”

Nine Inch Nails and Dr. Martens are collaborating on a new collection in honor of the 30th anniversary of band’s multi-platinum sophomore album, The Downward Spiral.

First teased on July 8 and officially revealed on Monday (July 15), the upcoming footwear collection features artwork from the Grammy-nominated album and a design inspired by NIN’s unforgettable live performances.

Trending on Billboard

“This collaboration just makes so much sense,” John Crawford, the band’s creative director, said in a statement. “Not just because of the countless fans I’ve seen wearing Dr. Martens at NIN concerts over the years (myself included), but because NIN and Dr. Martens are both known for rejecting convention and expectation in favor of innovation, with their distinctive ability to transcend genres and styles in a way that unique to each person who experiences them. The goal was always to make this collection feel as authentically Nine Inch Nails as possible, and I believe through close collaboration with the team at Doc’s we’ve succeeded in that.”

The collection includes a 10-eye 1490 boot that is inspired by the band’s cornstarch pre-show ritual. The lace-up boot is made from textured black and white Backhand leather and includes an ankle zipper on the side.

The eight-eye 1460 collab features artist Russell Mills’ album art as well as other references to the album. It also boasts a commando tread sole and multiple fastening options, including a branded ankle zipper.

For those looking for a shoe rather than a boot, the collection includes 1461 three-eyed piece that features The Downward Spiral‘s “crystal teeth” artwork and the name of the album printed in a subtle gloss.

The fourth piece of footwear in the collection is one fans won’t be able to purchase, though a few lucky ones will be gifted a pair. The 1490 10-eye boot features all-black leather that is embossed with the album’s artwork. According to the press release, the boot is “a fitting tribute to the unique bond shared by the band and those who have supported them for decades.”

Crawford participated in a Reddit AMA discussing the “inspiration and design choices behind the collaboration.” The AMA was held from 8 to 9 a.m. PT on July 15; fans were able to submit questions ahead of time for a chance to win one of five pairs of the fan-exclusive boot.

The Downward Spiral, released in 1994, became a pivotal album for Trent Reznor, the band’s mastermind. The critically acclaimed LP debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and went on to sell nearly four million copies.

Atticus Ross, who joined NIN in the early 2000s and with Reznor has become an Oscar-winning scoring duo, teased that he was “excited” to work on a new album. “I think we’re in a place now where we kind of have an idea,” he told GQ in April, as Ross and Reznor discussed their new multimedia company — With Teeth — and hinted at upcoming projects. NIN’s music is currently featured in the new season of The Bear.

It’s a craving, not a crush — but either way, Billie Eilish tends to spiral whenever she develops feelings for someone.
On the latest episode of Chicken Shop Date posted Friday (July 12), the 22-year-old pop star opened up to host Amelia Dimoldenberg about her tendency to fly a little off the handle when a new love interest enters her life. “I become insane when I have a crush,” Eilish said. “I get absolutely insane. When I was growing up, no one I had a crush on ever had a crush on me back — that I know of. It’s very demoralizing. It’s sad.”

For the record, it doesn’t seem like the “Bad Guy” singer — who’s been linked to Jesse Rutherford and Matthew Vorce in the past — has any trouble finding requited love now. When Dimoldenberg asked whether Eilish still has the same problem today, the latter merely gave a suggestive smirk.

“All I do is crush on people,” she shared. “It’s all I do. When I don’t have a crush, life feels so empty.”

Trending on Billboard

The interview comes about two months after the nine-time Grammy winner dropped her third studio album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. All 10 of its tracks charted on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release, including flagship single “Lunch,” which reached No. 5.

On one of the album’s fan-favorites, “The Greatest,” Eilish laments how she “just wanted passion” from her ex, a topic that also came up in her Chicken Shop Date interview. “What turns me on? I don’t know, passion, dude,” she told Dimoldenberg. “It’s all about passion.”

Eilish, who has her own fragrance line, also said that a person’s scent is important to her. “[It’s] kinda No. 1,” she said. “I can get around it, but I’m definitely, like, that’s the first thing I notice. I have a very strong nose, so if somebody smells good, I like them more.”
