It’s always a bold move to perform one of the coaches’ songs on The Voice, but Divighn was up for the challenge — and he excelled.
For the Knockout rounds, the 33-year-old California native opted to perform Maroon 5’s “Harder to Breathe” in front of Adam Levine himself. He added choreography and amplified emotion to the Songs About Jane breakout hit, all while maintaining impressive vocal control.
His competitor, Kaiya Hamilton, followed up with a performance of Alessia Cara’s “Here,” an objectively difficult song to sing due to its pace. Hamilton had no issue, though, displaying flawless vocal ability and range as she delivered the track.

Both performances were met with standing ovations by the judges, and Levine voiced his support for Divighn’s choice to perform a Maroon 5 song. “Divighn, you got great taste in music, man,” he joked, before adding more seriously, “I always secretly dread when people are going to do our songs, because it makes me nervous. I’m so close to it. I love what you did with it. You took it and did something that I actually liked, and that it wasn’t what I normally do. The way that you can get up there and move the way you were moving, and still just deliver a rock solid big vocal, that’s big.”
He also praised Hamilton, noting, “I love how you sing. You kind of gave the opposite clinic. Your’s was like, ‘I’m not going to worry about anything except singing my butt off.’”

Though, as perhaps expected, he ultimately gave his pick to Divighn. “I would maybe go with Divighn, because he has all these other things that were really impressive but it’s no disrespect to you Kaiya because you did an amazing job as well,” he said.
However, the choice on who stays in the competition comes down to the duo’s coach, Michael Bublé, who revealed that he “made a mistake” putting Divighn and Hamilton against each other. “Divighn, your performance, your choreography was beautiful and so smooth and so fun to watch. You’re an overall entertainer,” he told his team member. “Kaiya, your voice is undeniable. You sang the heck out of this and I feel like you know who are as an artist.”

“This is my first arena tour since 2018,” said Gaga in a statement. “There’s something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with The MAYHEM Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience — something more intimate — closer, more connected — that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create.”

Kesha is standing up for the transgender community.
The superstar sat down with Bob the Drag Queen for Paper this week, where they opened up about messages they want to share with their U.S. fans as the current presidential administration continues to put measures into place to dismantle the rights of trans people.
“I would love to be able to stand in front of my fans and be like, ‘Everything’s fantastic and don’t you worry,’” Bob shared. “But I don’t think that’s real. Sometimes things get worse before they get better. Sometimes things get worse and they don’t get better. But you have to remember the resilience of queer people, of Black people, of women, of any marginalized person to exist despite it all. To exist no matter what.”
Kesha agreed, adding, “Trans visibility day has me thinking about what a huge support the trans community has been. The queer community has been my community and has always been there for me. That’s where I belong. And beyond that, to any marginalized person, like you were just saying, I want everyone out there to know that they have an ally, someone that is a warrior. I will not lay down, I will not be quiet about basic human rights. And as someone who’s had her freedoms taken away from her and fought like hell to get them back, I’m going to echo that throughout my work until the day that I die.”
Trending on Billboard
Transgender Day of Visibility started back in 2010 when trans activist Rachel Crandall created the holiday to celebrate “the lives of transgender people” as a whole rather than just the discrimination against the community, according to GLAAD.
Kesha, who is gearing up to release her sixth album, . (Period), revealed that she wants the upcoming project to be a “safe space for people to feel fully embodied and liberated.” She continued, “If you want to find your community and find a safe space for you to fully embody exactly who you are and be celebrated, I invite you to come join us. I would like to start a revolution of love. I want to create a traveling summer of love, a community of love. I want to give all of us a place to come and be ourselves.”
As for the current government, Kesha said, “I have never seen a less embodied group of individuals waving around their chainsaws. It’s terrifying. In the midst of all this chaos, the most political thing we could do is love ourselves and love one another and create a space where we can come together and spread as much love as possible. So that’s my objective for the summer.”
Kesha’s . (Period), arrives via Kesha Records on July 4.
Kesha is gearing up for her biggest headlining tour to date. The “Yippee-Ki-Yay” singer announced the dates for The T-ts Out tour on Thursday (April 3), which will also feature disco pop act Scissor Sisters joining her on all the dates for the latter’s first North American live run in more than a decade; Slayyyter and U.K. singer Rose Gray will join on select dates.
The Live Nation-produced outing is slated to kick off on July 1 at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City City, UT and play arenas and amphitheaters in the U.S. and Canada through an August 10 gig at MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, FL on August 10. The run will include Kesha’s first-ever solo headlining gigs at a pair of iconic venues: L.A.’a Kia Forum (July 5) and New York City’s Madison Square Garden (July 23).
“The most political thing we can do right now is love. Love ourselves and love each other,” Kesha said in a statement about the tour that is partnering with the Feeld dating app for the open-minded. “Americans need to have more safe, consensual sex. Our administration is so disembodied and disconnected. I’m going T–S OUT this summer to bring as much safety, fun, acceptance, love, connection, and celebration to this country because we are just as much the fabric of this FREE nation as anyone else. We will not be quiet, and we will fight through joy! I think it’s time to make LOVE, not content. LOVE, not anger. LOVE, not hatred, and love, not war.”

The singer who is gearing up to release her sixth album, . (Period), on Kesha Records on July 4 — her first independent release since her departure from Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records — added, “I’m committed to bringing my newfound freedom to a city near you. A celebration is in order. I have partnered with Feeld, a dating app for open-minded people, in order to bring our sexually liberated selves and give us a place to flirt, meet, connect, and dance. Color-coded options will be available soon, but this summer wear RED if you are single, horny, and down to flirt! Let’s fight chaos with love, so let’s see how much love we can bring to the summer of 2025.”
And, not for nothing, Kesha said she’s looking for a “sugar daddy,” telling fans that they will get “extra animal points” if they bring along a “tall, hot, single friend.”
Sign up now for access to a pre-sale beginning on April 8 at 10 a.m. local here or here, with additional pre-sales slated throughout the week. Remaining tickets will be available in a general on-sale on April 10 at 10 a.m. local. Kesha will celebrate the roll-out of the dates with a Boiler Room set in Miami on Thursday night.
“We are stoked to extend our reunion to the US and Canada this summer alongside Kesha,” said the Scissor Sisters, whose reunited lineup features members Jake Shears, Babydaddy and Del Marquis. “There has always been a bit of anarchy and chaos to both of our live shows – and we can’t wait to bring that ‘anything can happen’ energy across North America again.”
To date, Kesha has released the singles “Joyride,” “Delusional” and the new country-leaning “Yippee-Ki-Yay,” featuring T-Pain from the upcoming album.

Even after all this time, Bon Iver‘s Justin Vernon can’t quite conjure the words to describe how it feels to watch videos of tens of thousands of Swifties singing along to “Exile,” the Folklore song he co-wrote and recorded with Taylor Swift. “Out of body,” is how Vernon described the feeling on The Tonight Show on Wednesday (April 2) when host Jimmy Fallon asked what it felt like to see Swift perform it on her record-breaking Eras Tour.
“Sadly, I didn’t ever get to sing it with her on her tour… she got to come sing it with us, but I saw those clips and I’m like, ‘Gosh, they sound better than one of me can sound,” Vernon said. “No really, it was pretty powerful to just see that and to hear how that sounded. It was amazing.”
Vernon also talked about the “I Think About It All the Time” revamp he did for Charli XCX’s Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat remix album last year, which featured a sample of Bonnie Raitt’s 1989 song “Nick of Time.”
Trending on Billboard
“My friend Danielle Haim told me, ‘you should sample ‘Nick Of Time’ the old Bonnie Raitt song and I was like: ‘That’s such a good idea’, because Charli’s song was about running out of time,” Vernon explained, noting that he and Raitt — who is his “number one” favorite artist — have been friendly over the years. “Our greatest living singer,” he said of Raitt.
Vernon said when he called Raitt to ask for her permission the answer was a quick, simple, “‘Yep… let’s do it,’ she just had to kind of give us her blessing on using the sample, but she was , of course, touched. And she’s a huge fan of Charli’s, as am I.”
The singer was on to promote next week’s release of his fifth studio album, Sable, Fable (April 11), which he described as being a kind of two-part journey. The first portion, Sable, he said, is “sad and hard to get through and kind of drudgy and a look at the past… a look back at this kind of cabin man, man in a cabin narrative that I’ve been absorbing over these years. [And] the rest of the record is me kind of doing whatever I needed to do right now to be happy for once.”
