Behind Chayanne’s ‘Bailemos Otra Vez’ Tour & His 40 Years Of Success | Billboard Cover

Billboard cover star Chayanne takes Billboard behind the scenes of his rehearsal and creative process for his upcoming tour, Bailemos Otra Vez. Chayanne shares what his fans can expect from his tour, reflecting on his 40 years in the industry and what he owes his success to. He also talks about how he wants to take his fans down memory lane, his viral Instagram photo and more.

Leila Cobo:

Elmer Figueroa Chayanne Chancito

Chayanne:

A.K.A. Chanchito.

I am going to start calling you Chancito from now on. 

Whatever you want. People who loved me so much called me Chancito, my mom, my grandmother. 

When you are feeling bad, do you talk to yourself and say: Chancito, you can do it?

Chancito, you can do it. Also Chancito, you know that we use the diminutive when we are small children. So, like Chayanne, what we were talking about before, it comes from mom. This is not a name created for music. So, since I was a little boy I was Chancito and so was my grandmother, that diminutive of love for the little boy. And it’s a good thing that later the “ito” went away and Chayanne stayed. Chancito, Chancito.

But I like it. 

No I’m kidding, too.

Three, three.

Yes, three. Three syllables.

Chancito, Chayanne, Chayancito. Chayancito, no. 

It’s better double: A-A.

Yes, Chayanne.

Imagine that in the show, so beautiful to hear when you are there, you feel the love that they are giving you. 

Yes, and it still moves you? Then, you are backstage, you haven’t come out and the lights go down, then everybody starts screaming and you hear them say Chayanne, Chayanne. 

Leila, it is amazing, because it has been many years, I remember staying at the hotel and suddenly from the street they would start screaming and you were in the room and you would come out, you could go out in your bathrobe or you could go out…

Flavor Flav:

You know my girl on the water polo team. My name is Maggie Steffens, you know, she put out a story, you know what I’m saying, and my manager turned me on to the story. So when I read the story, I said to myself, “Let me try to help these girls out and get the glory.”

Tetris Kelly:

Even getting to hang out and support them with the first lady. Snoop Dogg has been everywhere during the Olympics, from cheering on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, from traveling with the U.S. men’s basketball team to performing at the closing ceremony with Dr. Dre.

Taylor Swift Adjusts London Eras Tour Showtimes Following Vienna Terror Plot Reveal | Billboard News

With the final leg of her European tour coming this week in London, Taylor Swift has moved her showtimes up and gave an announcement to un-ticketed Swifties. Keep watching for the details.

Narrator:

After the threat of a terrorist attack and the canceling of three shows in Vienna, Taylor Swift is making some adjustments to her Eras Tour shows in London. Taylor’s five scheduled shows at Wembley Stadium are getting a new start time. According to the venue, the early entry and general admission times have been moved up by 15 minutes, leading local press to believe Taylor may take the stage earlier than usual. While tons of Swifties gathered in Vienna to celebrate Swift, despite the cancellation of their tour stop, organizers at Wembley Stadium have asked all Swifties without tickets who do not plan to visit the merch megastores to avoid the area. The venue informed attendees, “To support with the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium. Non-ticket holders will be moved on.” Billboard has reached out to Taylor’s reps, but have not heard back at the time of recording.
