*NSYNC, AJ McLean, Camila Cabello & More: All the Stars at the ‘Trolls Band Together’ Special Screening

Trolls Band Together, and so do the members of *NSYNC! The cast of Dreamworks’ latest Trolls movie installment gathered at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre on Wednesday (Nov. 15) night to walk the purple carpet and catch an early screening of the film — which marks the third in the series — ahead of its global premiere on Friday, Nov. 17.

*NSYNC fans can thank Trolls Band Together for the boyband’s musical reunion — the quintet contributed the track “Better Place” to the film, in which they star as former boy group BroZone. Members JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Justin Timberlake, who stars in the movie franchise as lead character Branch, all walked the carpet together alongside their partners. Kirkpatrick took his purple carpet appearance even further, posing with his own bespectacled Troll figure, Trickee.

Anna Kendrick, who reprises her role as Poppy in the latest Trolls installment, posed for photos alongside Camila Cabello, who voices Viva (Poppy’s long lost sister) in the film. But there were a few more major celebrities in attendance at the carpeted event — at one point during the special screening, Poppy appeared dressed in her best Queen outfit, complete with a crown and bright blue crocheted dress, to pose with Kendrick.

The PG-rated movie also drew a few famous families to the special screening, with Kirkpatrick taking wife Karly Skladany and their son Nash Dylan to the event. And despite not being in the movie, Backstreet Boy AJ McLean was in the building as well, bringing along wife Rochelle DeAnna Mc:ean and their two daughters out to see the film.

10 Top Songs Miranda Lambert Wrote For Other Artists

Miranda Lambert has always been in her songwriting era.

From her very first charted song on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, “Me and Charlie Talking,” which Lambert co-wrote with her father Rick Lambert and fellow songwriter Heather Little, the Lindale, Tex. native has consistently chased her own vision for her music — resisting the influence that radio programmers or industry trends might wield on other artists. She’s co-written many of her own radio singles, including “Vice,” “Kerosene,” “Automatic,” “Only Prettier” and “Bluebird.”

Lambert’s open-hearted, unfiltered approach to writing is woven into the defiance of early songs including The Weight of These Wings magnum opus “Gunpowder and Lead,” the technicolor rock-tinged hues permeating Wildcard, the stripped-back campfire country of The Marfa Tapes and the free-spirited ethos threaded through Palomino. With “Y’all Means All,” she turned her songwriting muscle to causes she believes in, co-writing the inclusive song for season six of Queer Eye. Along the way, she’s earned seven Billboard Country Airplay No. 1 hits, along with seven CMA female artist of the year wins, and two CMA Awards album of the year wins (for Platinum and Revolution).

In addition to her solo projects, the Academy of Country Music triple crown and entertainer of the yer winner has earned acclaim for several collaborative projects, including albums with her Pistol Annies cohorts Angaleena Presley and Ashley Monroe, as well as her The Marfa Tapes collaborators, longtime co-writers Jack Ingram and Jon Randall.

But over the past year, Lambert has been putting in extra time in the writing rooms, with her songwriting credits showing up on new songs recorded by Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll and Morgan Wallen. The Wallen-recorded “Thought You Should Know,” which Lambert wrote with Wallen and Nicolle Galyon, became Lambert’s first No. 1 single on which she was solely a songwriter.

Here, we rank some of Lambert’s top-written songs that have been recorded by other artists.

Jon Pardi and Lauren Alaina, “Don’t Blame It On Whiskey”

Lambert teamed with Eric Church, Luke Laird and Michael Heeney to craft this track, included on Pardi’s album Heartache Medication. The song, which was originally written for Church’s 2011 Chief album (though ultimately not making the project), centers on a couple edging toward their breaking point, and reaching a place where courage is required to be vulnerable about their relational problems, rather than placing the blame on liquor.

“It was very simple,” Pardi previously told Taste of Country of the demo. “It was just a drum track and a guitar lead and a guitar and vocal from Eric and Miranda. You could just hear the bus humming so it was just a work tape, but it sounded really good.”
Blake Shelton, “Suffocating”

Over the years, Lambert has collaborated with Blake Shelton (to whom Lambert was wed from 2011 to 2015) on songs including “Over You” and “Bare Skin Rug,” while Lambert and her Pistol Annies bandmates contributed vocals to Shelton’s hit “Boys ‘Round Here.” Lambert was featured on “Draggin’ The River” from Shelton’s 2010 EP All About Tonight, but she also contributed songwriting work to another track on the project: “Suffocating,” which she wrote with country trio Lady A member Hillary Scott.

Lambert and Scott wrote the song years ago, while on tour with Kenny Chesney. “It was one of the many nights I hopped on her bus and we stayed up late just drinking wine and playing music and writing music,” Scott told The Boot in 2010.
Parker McCollum, “Falling Apart”

Featured on McCollum’s Jon Randall-produced 2021 album Gold Chain Cowboy, “Falling Apart” is the creation of a cohort of Texas songwriters: Lambert, Parker, Randall and Randy Rogers. The self-incriminating track (“Maybe you are better with someone else/ Maybe I just saved you from myself”) has a unique rock edge that Parker called “a .38 Special rip-off track.

“I wasn’t sure how or where it would fit on the record, and it just so happened that Jon [Randall] was jamming some .38 Special on his guitar and I said, ‘Dude, why does nobody ever cut songs like this anymore?’” McCollum told Lyric Magazine.
Luke Combs, “Outrunnin’ Your Memory”

This Lambert co-write with Combs and songwriter Dan Isbell was featured on Combs’ 2022 Growin’ Up album. Initially, plans for the song did not include a vocal collaboration, but it turned out that Lambert was the perfect fit.

“We wrote that song together, and it wasn’t like we sat down to write a duet,” Combs previously told press, according to ABC News. “I didn’t plan to have her on my album and she didn’t plan for us to write a song for hers,” he said. “There were no intentions in the songwriting other than, ‘Let’s go write a song that we both think is really good.’ When we were going in the studio, I was like, ‘I gotta cut this song.’ It was never like, ‘Man, it’s gonna be this duet, and we’re gonna do this.’ It was like, ‘We gotta have her on this song, right? It’s too good, and she’s too good, not to do it.’”

“Outrunnin’ Your Memory” reached the top 30 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
Brothers Osborne, “We Ain’t Good at Breaking Up”

Lambert co-wrote and sang backing vocals on “We Ain’t Good at Breaking Up,” included on Brothers Osborne’s Grammy-nominated self-titled album. Lambert co-wrote the song with the duo’s TJ and John Osborne, as well as songwriter-producer Jesse Frasure, with the title inspired by a phrase TJ often said when asked if he and his boyfriend were still together.

“There was a time early in our relationship where we felt like it didn’t make a lot of sense, we didn’t live near each other, we were both so busy and other different things, that we tried to call it off, but we would try to break up and we just wouldn’t,” TJ told Billboard earlier this year.

Frasure recognized the song potential in the phrase. “He said, ‘Oh my God, we’ve got to write that song next week in our [writing session] with Miranda,’” TJ Osborne recalled. Lambert lent her voice to the demo for the song, and they decided to add her to the full-fledged recording of the song. “It just really makes the song, sends it into a dreamy, almost Fleetwood Mac kind of thing,” TJ said.
Jelly Roll, “The Lost”

Lambert paired with Jelly Roll and writer-producer Jesse Frasure to write “The Lost,” which was included on Jelly Roll’s 2023 album Whitsitt Chapel; Lambert also provided background vocals on the song.

“Jesse Frasure asked me to be part of a co-write last minute. He was like, ‘Hey come write with me and Jelly,’ and I had never met him but was like, ‘Sure,’” Lambert previously told Billboard. “But instantly, I felt such a connection and he’s such a kindred spirit. He was just a lovely person, and he’s a great songwriter. Just talking to him, it felt like home. It felt like I had known Jelly forever. He’s just one of those welcoming personalities, and we had such a good time writing together. Luckily, our song did land on his record, which I am super excited about. I definitely made new lifelong friends in him and [Jelly Roll’s wife] Bunnie. It’s fun to, this far into the game, still collaborate and meet new people and this younger generation of artists who are emerging and learn new things from them and stay fresh. It feels cool to be part of that.”
The Highwomen, “My Only Child”

Maren Morris, Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile and Natalie Hemby teamed up as the musical collective The Highwomen, inspired by the idea of forming a female supergroup in tribute to the country supergroup The Highwaymen. The four artists released the The Highwomen’s eponymous album in 2019.

Lambert co-wrote this tender ballad with Hemby and Shires. The song centers on a mother’s love for her only child and her disappointment at not having more children, though the song also touches on how fleeting childhood can be.
Ashley Monroe, “I’m Good at Leavin'”

“I got a knack for being free/ I’m just following a feeling,” Ashley Monroe sings on this song from her 2015 album The Blade. Lambert and Monroe co-wrote this track with songwriter Jessi Alexander.

“I wrote it out on the road with Miranda,” Monroe told Glamour back in 2015. “Right now I’m good at leaving life and being on the road right now.”
Morgan Wallen, “Thought You Should Know”

Lambert earned her first No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay hit solely as a songwriter when Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know” spent three weeks at the chart’s pinnacle starting in February 2023 (the song also reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart). Lambert and songwriter Nicolle Galyon aided Wallen in writing the tenderhearted ode to Wallen’s mother, Lesli.

Lambert said in a social media post celebrating the song’s success, “Congrats @morganwallen on your number 1 song “Thought You Should Know”. Proud to be a writer on a song about your mama! This is the first number 1 song I’ve ever had as a writer. We did good that day y’all. Cheers friends.”
Chris Stapleton, “What Am I Gonna Do”

Lambert and Stapleton co-wrote the opening track on Stapleton’s new album Higher, which released Nov. 10. “What Am I Gonna Do” is a stone-cold country-soul lament, as the protagonist contemplates a swiftly fizzling relationship and what life post-love will look like.

According to an interview Stapleton did with Today’s Country Radio with Kelleigh Bannen, “What Am I Gonna Do” is a song the two wrote years ago. “I could only remember half the song and I didn’t have a copy,” Stapleton said. “I was like, ‘Do you have a copy of this song?’ and she was kind enough to go looking for it and digging for it, and she found it and so we could cut it, and that’s how it wound up on the record.”

Of course, this is far from the first time these two towering singer-songwriters have collaborated. Stapleton contributed “Nobody’s Fool” to Lambert’s 2011 album Four the Record, and Lambert backed up Stapleton on vocals during the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards, singing Stapleton’s “Maggie’s Song.”

Zach Bryan, Leon Bridges Set for Bud Light Pre-Super Bowl Show in Las Vegas

“I Remember Everything” hitmaker Zach Bryan is set to help launch the second year of the Bud Light Backyard Tour, headlining The Bud Light Backyard Tour Presents Zach Bryan during Super Bowl LVIII weekend, on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, at the 3,000-capacity The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. The show will take place two days prior to Super Bowl LVIII at the city’s Allegiant Stadium.

See latest videos, charts and news

Leon Bridges, known for songs including “Coming Home” and “July,” will open the show.

Bryan, who grew up in a military family and served in the U.S. Navy for eight years, noted the event’s integration with the nonprofit Folds of Honor, which aids families of fallen and disabled service members and first responders.

”I’ve been drinking Bud Light since I was old enough to drink, and partnering with them now after all the songs I’ve written while swigging them is full circle for me,” Bryan said in statement. “When Bud Light asked if I would be involved, I didn’t hesitate after I learned the immense amount of support going into Folds of Honor, fallen service members, first responders’ families and loved ones. It is a privilege and honor to provide help in any way to veterans and all the people who make this country as great as it can possibly be.”

Since releasing his breakthrough top 10 Billboard Hot 100 song “Something in the Orange,” Bryan has skyrocketed into a stadium-headlining artist. This year, he earned his first Hot 100 No. 1 with the Kacey Musgraves duet “I Remember Everything” (which also spent seven weeks atop the Hot Country Songs chart), while his self-titled album vaulted to the top of the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart.

“Anheuser-Busch and our brands have brought unparalleled experiences to football fans and to country music lovers for decades. We could not be more excited to partner with Zach Bryan and to showcase his all-star talent during Super Bowl LVIII weekend,” said Brendan Whitworth, CEO, Anheuser-Busch. “All of us at Anheuser-Busch are thrilled to work alongside Zach to bring positive experiences to country music fans and to local communities nationwide.“

“Bud Light has always been at the center of great music moments, we couldn’t be more excited to return to our country music roots by teaming up with Zach Bryan, who is one of the most compelling artists in country music right now,” said Todd Allen, VP of Marketing for Bud Light. “Bryan is known for connecting with and bringing fans together, and we can’t wait to put on a great show for fans ahead of the Super Bowl.”

Tickets to The Bud Light Backyard Tour Presents Zach Bryan will be on sale beginning Thursday (Nov. 16) at 3 p.m. ET, with tickets selling for $20. Future dates on the tour have yet to be announced, and the tour is separate from Bryan’s own Quittin’ Time Tour, which launches in March.

The 2024 Bud Light Backyard Tour builds upon previous events including Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest, Bud Light Dive Bar Tour and the Bud Light Seltzer Sessions. Earlier this year, artists including Midland and OneRepublic were announced as part of the Bud Light Backyard Tour summer concert series. The slate of country and country-adjacent shows follow the recent controversy and backlash that ensued against Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch, after the company teamed with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who posted a video on social media featuring a customized can of Bud Light that Mulvaney received from the company.

Artists including Kid Rock and Travis Tritt spoke out against the brand, while Bryan offered his thoughts on the controversy and spoke out against Tritt, saying via X (formerly Twitter), “I just think insulting transgender people is completely wrong because we live in a country where can all just be who we want to be,” and later adding in comments that he has “family transitioning” and “blood to defend here.”

Farruko Returns to No. 1 As a Soloist on Latin Pop Airplay With ‘Pasajero’

Farruko returns to the top of Billboard’s Latin Pop Airplay chart as a soloist as “Pasajero” lifts 3-1 on the Nov. 18-dated list. The song, released June 15, entered the ranking at No. 23 in June and wraps the longest journey to No. 1.

“Pasajero” leads with 7.1 million audience impressions earned in the U.S. in the week ending Nov. 9, according to Luminate; that’s a 28% gain from the prior week.

The song climbs 3-1 in its 22nd week, the longest trek to No. 1 on the Latin Pop Airplay’s 29-year history, passing the 21-week hike of another Farruko song: “Chillax” featuring Ky-Mani Marley in 2016.

With “Pasajero,” Farruko collects his seventh champ on Latin Pop Airplay and returns to the summit as a soloist, unaccompanied by any other act since “Obesionado” ruled for two weeks in 2016. Since then, he’s led the list with five collaborations:

Here’s his collections of No. 1s:

Peak, Title, Artist, Weeks at No. 1

April 16, 2016, “Obsesionado,” 2
Dec. 3, 2016, “Chillax,” featuring Ky-Mani Marley, 1
April 13, 2019, “Calma, with Pedro Capo, 1
June 13, 2020, “Si Me Dices Que Si,” with Reik & Camilo, 2
Dec. 26, 2020, “Perfecta,” with Luis Fonsi, 2
Oct. 2, 2021, “Me Pasé,” with Enrique Iglesias, 1
Nov. 18, “Pasajero”

The new champ also secures a new achievement for Carbon Fiber label, which last landed at No. 1 on Latin Pop Airplay with Farruko’s “Chillax” featuring Ky-Mani Marley in 2016.

Elsewhere, “Pasajero” rises to its new No. 8 peak on the overall Latin Airplay chart, Farruko’s first top 10 in a year, after “Nazareno” rose to No. 6 in Aug. 2022.

SEVENTEEN Gives Inspiring Speech on ‘Positive Change,’ Performs Medley of Hits at UNESCO Youth Forum

SEVENTEEN came together at the UNESCO Youth Forum in Paris this week to share the importance of supporting young people in pursuing their dreams.

The event, which marked the first-ever session at the forum dedicated to a musical artist, was attended by more than 1,300 people from around the world, including representatives from the 194 Member States of UNESCO, 170 youth delegates and more.

“We want to make sure that no young people, no matter who they are or where they’re coming from, ever give up on their dreams or get discouraged,” SEVENTEEN member Mingyu said during the group’s joint speech at the conference. “We believe that by supporting people’s dreams, we are also spreading positivity and hope.”

Joshua chimed in by adding, “We have already experienced what it’s like to make your dreams come true by coming together in solidarity for positive change.

Latin Grammy Awards 2023 Winners: Full List (Updating)

Hitmaker Edgar Barrera, the lead nominee for the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards, picked up the first award of the day at the Premiere Ceremony, taking place in Seville, Spain today (November 16). Considering this marks the first time the Latin Grammys take place outside the U.S., it was appropriate that the ceremony kicked off with a brand new award: Songwriter of the year.

It was followed by the presentation of the Songwriter of the year award to Barrera, who thanked the Academy “for opening up a space to those of us who are dedicated to writing songs but don’t sing them, who usually aren’t seen but once a year, show our face.”

leads the list of nominees with 13 nods, including producer of the year and song of the year — this as co-writer of both “NASA” by Camilo & Alejandro Sanz and “un X100to” by Grupo Frontera with Bad Bunny. In addition, he has three nods each in the best tropical song and best regional Mexican song categories, and one for best pop song. And he also competes for album of the year as producer of Camilo’s De Adentro Pa Afuera.

Barrera is followed in nominations by Colombian stars Camilo, Karol G, Shakira and composer Kevyn Mauricio Cruz (also known as Keityn), each with seven nominations. Argentine producer and DJ Bizarrap has six.

Lizzo Reveals She’s Working on Music & Herself While Healing ‘Trust Issues With the World’

Lizzo took a rare moment to be vulnerable with her followers amid her ongoing legal battle. In a recent Instagram post, the 35-year-old hitmaker opened up about her mental state and gave an update on new music, adding that she’s struggling with “trust issues” in light of the sexual harassment suit filed against her earlier this year by a group of ex backup dancers.

“Hi,” wrote the musician, sharing a bathroom mirror selfie she took in a white robe. “I’m working.. on music, myself, relationships with people and food, my anxiety, my body, my business, and my trust issues with the world..”

Lizzo also added that her trust issues are “deep now, deeper than they’ve ever been” before signing off with, “Xoxo.”

The Grammy winner’s post comes just a few weeks after her attorneys filed a motion to dismiss her former dancers’ lawsuit, calling the plaintiffs’ allegations a “fabricated sob story” launched by “opportunists” seeking “a quick payday.” The Oct. 27 request went on to argue that the lawsuit — which claimed toxic workplace conditions, sexual harassment discrimination, and fat-shaming — came from three women with “an axe to grind” who had shown “a pattern of gross misconduct and failure to perform their job up to par,” submitting statements from 18 members of Lizzo’s touring company who disputed many of the suit’s accusations.

Lizzo, who hasn’t released music since July’s “Pink” for the Barbie movie, has kept a relatively lower profile in the wake of the lawsuit, although she did proudly show off her Tina Turner and Carmen Miranda Halloween costumes on Instagram. She’s also been keeping up with her Yitty business, most recently announcing major sales for Black Friday.

Here Are the Top 25 Tracks Played at ADE 2023

The dance industry’s biggest conference, ADE, happened in Amsterdam Oct. 18-21, with loads of business happening by day and the industry flexing what it does best with even more parties by night. Ranging from intimate shows to stadium-sized spectacles, parties took place in more than 100 clubs and event spaces throughout the city during the four-day event.

Naturally, a lot of music spanning the broad spectrum of the electronic genre was played during the conference. But 25 tracks were played more than all the others, and we’ve got the list below.

Leading the chart is Peggy Gou’s unstoppable “(It Goes Like) Nanana,” followed by the summer scorcher “Jealous” from Brazilian phenom Mochakk, then melodic techno hit “Dialogue” by rising duo Dyzen & Sideral.

Gwyneth Paltrow Says Chris Martin Has ‘a Real Sweetness’ in His Parenting Style: ‘He Comes & Sprinkles Fairy Dust’

Despite being divorced for almost a decade, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin still get along and amicably parent their two children, Apple and Moses. In the latest issue of People, the Goop founder gushed over the Coldplay frontman’s co-parenting abilities, though his work with the band often prevents him from being home.

“He has this sweet, childlike spirit, and I love that he will be like, ‘Let’s go jump in the ocean’ when it’s 58 degrees,’ or, ‘Let’s go to this weird guitar store.’ He always wants to do these fun adventures with them and activities,” the actress shared.

Paltrow further commented on Martin’s personality, noting that he “has a real sweetness. And so he brings that to the way that he parents them. … He’s sort of gone a lot, he’s on the road a lot, but he brings — it’s almost like he comes and sprinkles fairy dust.”

Paltrow and Martin married in December 2003 and remained together until 2014. The pair announced their separation in a joint statement about their mutual decision to “consciously uncouple.” In Paltrow’s latest interview with People, published on Thursday (Nov. 16), she revealed that she and the Coldplay singer spoke with friends and family members that have been through divorce, and used those experiences — such as the parents not sitting with each other at graduations, or not coming inside to pick the kids up — to navigate their own separation.

“Those were the things that really hurt the kids,” Paltrow explained. “And so Chris and I just said, ‘Let’s just never do that and let’s try to get through the hard part of this and remember our friendship.’” The 51-year-old said she and Martin are successfully able to do that, and as a result, “he’s like my family.”

Chipotle, Taco Bell & More Use Taylor Swift Lyrics to Poke Fun at Travis Kelce’s Resurfaced Tweets

Fans have been having a field day with Travis Kelce‘s X page, digging up dozens of decade-old tweets amid his romance with Taylor Swift — and brands such as Chipotle, Taco Bell and Olive Garden are throwing their own jokes into the ring.

Kelce’s hilarious and often misspelled tweets date back to the late 2000s, when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was still an early twenties college student at the University of Cincinnati. In one from 2011, for example, he wrote, “Went from class to therapy, now I need some #chipolte and then I’m off to check out my new apt!!”

Chipotle’s official account retweeted Kelce’s resurfaced post with a reference to his superstar girlfriend’s “Anti-Hero” lyrics. “it’s me, hi,” the company wrote Wednesday (Nov. 15).

Other restaurants that were shouted out by Kelce over a decade ago also followed suit, with Olive Garden retweeting his post about “#shmackin” fettuccini chicken alfredo with a custom take on Swift prose: “It’s a love story, baby just say ‘when’ ❤️?.”

Taco Bell, retweeting a 2009 update from Kelce that he was “Bout to get some Taco Bell!!!,” added that “karma is a crunchwrap coming straight home to me.”

Swifties have also been cracking their own jokes about Kelce’s tweets, expressing particular fondness for one in which he recalled giving “a squirle a peice of bread and it straight smashed all of it!!!!”

“taylor swift in 2011: from when your brooklyn broke my skin and bones i’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight, and did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? just between us, did the love affair maim you too?… travis kelce in 2011: i just gave a squirle a peice of bread,” quipped one fan, receiving nearly 100,000 likes at press time.

It’s not entirely clear exactly when or why fans and chain restaurants started combing through the Ohio native’s long forgotten posts, making them go viral this week. The ongoing phenomenon does, however, come shortly after Swift changed her “Karma” lyrics at her Saturday (Nov. 11) Eras Tour show to give her new boyfriend a shoutout — “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me” — before running into his arms for a kiss backstage.

Swift had much to celebrate last week, having picked up six Grammy nominations — including nods for album, song and record of the year — on Friday (Nov. 10). She’s also the lead finalist for the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, with nods in 20 categories. (Stream the BBMAs Sunday, Nov. 19, at BBMAs.watch, or via Billboard and the BBMAs’ social channels.)
