“It’s a long way down,” Moroney said on Instagram when announcing the new album. She also shared the angelic cover artwork of the project, which features the singer standing on a ladder and dressed in a vivid pink gown with a train that blends with the pink-tinted clouds that surround her.
According to that announcement, the album will have three sides and appears to have 15 total tracks, among them the title track (“Cloud 9”) as well as “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things.”
Earlier this year, “6 Months Later” reached the top 30 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, and has reached the top 10 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
“I am so excited for my fans and I to dive into this new world of Cloud 9 together,” Moroney said in a statement. “Similar to the first two albums, it’s all written about honest, personal experiences, but these songs were written by the strongest, most confident version of myself I’ve ever been. My feet feel firmly planted in my artistry and it was fun to play around sonically, while still sticking to my roots of what my fans and I love. Cloud 9 is a state of mind, and I have no doubt this will be the best chapter yet.”
Ahead, Moroney is gearing up to perform at the 59th annual CMA Awards, where she is tied for the leading amount of nominations. She is the reigning CMA new artist of the year, and heading into this year’s ceremony, the musician is up for single of the year and song of the year (both for “Am I Okay?”), as well as album of the year (Am I Okay?), female vocalist of the year, musical event of the year (for “You Had to Be There” with Kenny Chesney) and music video of the year (for the video for “Am I Okay?”).

Taylor Swift‘s future mother-in-law is getting into the biz. Travis Kelce‘s mom, Donna Kelce, makes a brief appearance in the first trailer for the upcoming fourth season of the hit reality show The Traitors. The series hosted by Broadway veteran Alan Cumming dropped a 90-second trailer for the fourth go-round of the Emmy-winning competition series on Tuesday (Nov. 11) in which reality stars descend on a castle in the Scottish highlands, with a group of “Traitors” facing off against the “Faithful” in a bid to win a $250,000 prize.

“All the world’s a stage and all the people merely players,” Cumming intones with hokey gravitas in an invitation to the fresh crew of reality stars via Shakespeare’s famous As You Like It quotable quote. With the dramatic music swelling, we then meet the cutthroat competitors one-by-one. There’s One Tree Hill‘s Stephen Colletti, the Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Porsha Williams and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna, who promises, “I think I’m gonna play this game in a way that maybe no one’s ever played it.”
Among the other contestants are Natalie Anderson and Rob Cesternino (Survivor), Yamil “Yam Yam” Arocho (Survivor 44), Mark Ballas (Dancing With the Stars 5) and Kelce, who is viewed briefly in the intro and, lacking reality show bona fides, identified as “Mama” Kelce. The matriarch of the legendary football family and mother of Jason Kelce and younger brother Chiefs tight end, and Swift fiancé Travis Kelce, looks menacingly at the camera as her profile is reflected in a round mirror in the background.
She’ll be facing off against Real Housewives of Potomac cast member Candiace Dillard Bassett, actor/comedian Ron Funches, Love Island UK 5‘s Maura Higgins, Top Chef‘s Kristen Kish, professional figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Monét X Change, actor Michael Rapaport, The Bachelorette‘s Colton Underwood and Real Housewives of New York‘s Dorinda Medley.
“No baby, I came to be treacherous, shady and win this money. Okay?” warns Change. While many of the contestants offer up glimpses of their planned treachery or make ominous threats, Kelce keeps her powder dry in the preview, not uttering a single word.
Kelce was once a mild-mannered football mom, but since her youngest son began dating Swift in 2023 she has stepped into the spotlight, frequently getting airtime during games alongside the pop superstar in the family’s luxury box as well as appearing in two Hallmark Channel holiday films last year, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story and Christmas on Call.
The 23 famous folks will face off on The Traitors U.S. beginning on Jan. 8 on Peacock.

BTS‘ comeback is about to be dynamite. According to RM, who gave fans an update on the band’s fast-approaching comeback, he and bandmates Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook have been hard at work on new music — and their diligence is apparently paying off.
In a post to Weverse shared Tuesday (Nov. 11), the band leader wrote that “above all,” the music the septet is recording is “coming out really well!!”
“Everyone’s trying,” he added in Korean, per Weverse’s English translation. “Please look forward to it.”
Fans have known for some time that new BTS music was in the works, with the boy band reuniting on camera in July after taking about two years apart while fulfilling South Korean military requirements. At the time, the members revealed that they not only had a new album planned for 2026, but a world tour as well.
In October, RM gave more details about the timeline of his band’s official return. “We have to keep preparing for the album — we’ll shoot the album photos and film the music video,” he said at W Korea’s Love Your W event in Seoul. “Please look forward to late March.”
Though there’s no doubt the Bangtan Boys can do it, topping their last musical era will be no small task. RM and his bandmates became global phenoms in 2020 when they scored three No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 that year alone, with album Be and 2022 compilation album Proof both peaking atop the Billboard 200.
But, as RM pointed out while delivering the keynote speech at this year’s APEC CEO Summit in South Korea, shattering expectations is exactly what BTS is known for. “BTS first started to go outside Korea about 10 years ago,” he said at the event. “At that time, the music of BTS was quickly called ‘non-English, foreign culture.’ Trying to get on mainstream media through our music was like doing an experiment and a huge challenge. It was a test to see if ‘music in Korean can work on the global stage.’”
“We overcame those barriers,” RM continued at the time. “ARMY was the force that broke down those barriers. They use our music as the medium to carry out conversations that cross borders and languages.”
Trending on Billboard Before they were adored by millions of EYEKONs, the ladies of KATSEYE had their own pop icons — such as Britney Spears — to look up to. And in a new video, two of the girl group’s members paid homage to the superstar. In a clip posted to Instagram and TikTok on […]

As Michael Jackson historically returns to the top 10 with “Thriller” and Kehlani gives Brandy her flowers, Billboard‘s chart experts break down the correlation between Grammy nominations and artists such as HUNTR/X, Alex Warren, Leon Thomas and more who have taken over the charts this year. Black Eyed Peas singer Taboo stopped by with his daughter to share what it was like to work in the studio with Jett on Dora, his thoughts on the Dodgers’ huge win, and their perspectives on the diversity of artists on the Hot 100.
What’s your prediction for next week’s No. 1? Let us know in the comments!
Tetris Kelly: Michael Jackson makes a holiday return to the charts as Taylor Swift still battles with KPop Demon Hunters for the No. 1 spot.
Taboo: The fact that we have multicultural representation on the top 100 from KATSEYE to Demon Hunters, the HUNTR/X, I love that.
Tetris Kelly: Hey, what’s up? And welcome to the Hot 100 Show. As you can see, I got my friend Taboo and his daughter, Jett, stopping by a little bit later, and we got a new top 10 entry on the chart. So let’s start by running it down. This is the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 for the week dated Nov. 15. After a Halloween surge, “Thriller” hits the top 10. Morgan stays at No. 9. “Mutt” moves up to No. 8. All right, we got a newcomer to the top 10 in MJ. I can’t say I was ready for that, but Halloween isn’t it?
Eric Frankenburg: Yeah, I don’t know if newcomer’s the word. “Thriller” was in the top 10 in 1984, but this is the highest it’s been since March of 1984 — it’s pretty incredible. You know, it returns to the chart every year for Halloween, but this year’s a whole different story. It’s in the top 10. And, yes, it’s just wild you know that it’s higher than it’s been in 41 years.
Xander Zellner: Yeah, it feels like it’s kind of becoming, like, the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” of the Halloween season, where, like, it started growing more and more each year, and this year, Halloween fell on a Friday. So like, now it’s in the top 10. It’s amazing.
Delisa Shannon: I can already imagine, like, AI versions of Michael Jackson going, “It’s time.” Like, I already know it’s coming. You said it, not me.
Keep watching for more!
