Boone first gained attention with his single “Beautiful Things,” which gained traction on TikTok and later peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track also topped the Streaming Songs chart, becoming the most-streamed song in the first half of 2024.
The Fireworks & Rollerblades World Tour initially launched in the spring of 2024, with Boone opening for Taylor Swift during her London stops on the Eras Tour. The U.S. leg continues through October, with additional dates in Europe, Asia, and Australia planned for 2025. Boone’s September 2024 shows in Australia and New Zealand have been rescheduled to January 2025 due to a scheduling conflict, with upgraded venues to meet demand.

“He had neither the means nor the possibility and the explosives to carry this out,” Defense lawyer Werner Tomanek said, per Associated Press. He added that “the alleged attack plans were pure fantasies.”
Tomanek said that his client had admitted “in principle to Islamist tendencies” because “he found it cool.”

Associated Press previously reported that the main suspect in the case, a 19-year-old male, confessed that he planned to “kill as many people as possible” outside Ernst Happel Stadium, where Swift was scheduled to perform from August 8 to 10.
In a statement on Wednesday (Aug. 7), Barracuda Music, the concert promoters for the Austrian shows said, “With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety. All tickets will be automatically refunded within the next 10 business days.”
The person identified as the main plotter reportedly quit his job and “conspicuously changed his appearance and adapted to IS [Islamic State] propaganda,” despite his North Macedonian roots. Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, Austria’s head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, said the suspect wanted to use knives or homemade explosives to attack Swifties outside the stadium at the event, which was expected to draw more than 195,000 fans.
Authorities also said that I.S. and al-Qaida materials were found at the home of a second, 17-year-old Austrian suspect, who was reportedly recently hired by a company that provides services at the venue. Both suspects are currently in custody.
Swift is currently set to perform at London’s Wembley Stadium over five sold-out nights from August 15 to 20.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom clearly took the easy way out on a recent vacation, where, according to Perry’s Instagram feed, they spent a leisurely afternoon jumping out of a helicopter into the ocean. You heard that right. On Monday (August 12), Perry posted photos and video of the engaged couple getting hyped before leaping out of the chopper into the sea. Perry soundtracked the clip with a her current single, “Lifetimes,” and captioned it with a few lines from the dance banger whose Ibiza-shot video has a similarly beach-y, endless summer vacation theme.
“Like the stars are in the sky/ You and I will find each other / In every single life,” Perry wrote in the caption to the heli-hop post.

Perry recently revealed the track list for her upcoming 11-track 143 album (Sept. 20), which will feature “Lifetimes” and previous single, “Woman’s World,” as well as: “I’m His He’s Mine,” “Crush,” “Nirvana,” “All the Love,” “Truth” and “Wonder,” as well as three songs with as-yet-undisclosed features, “Gorgeous,” “Gimme Gimme” and “Artificial.”
The couple, who’ve dated since 2016 and got engaged in 2019, share three-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. The dive was not super surprising for Bloom, who risked life and limb in his recent Peacock series, Orlando Bloom: To The Edge, in which he went for a wingsuit flight, did a lung-busting free dive in the Bahamas and climb to the top of a 400-foot tower in Utah to stand on a tiny platform.

Rihanna‘s youngest son Riot Rose crawled his way onto the superstar’s Instagram feed recently.
In a video posted on Sunday (Aug. 11), the one-year-old speedily crawls across the floor, pushing a miniature Target shopping cart in an adorable cameo during one of her Fenty promo posts. Rih is known for dressing Riot and 2-year-old RZA — her first-born son with partner A$AP Rocky — in trendy outfits. In this case, the baby boy’s diaper peeks out of a chic grey sweatsuit.
The “We Found Love” singer also shared a photo of her posing next to the cart filled with travel-size versions of her Fenty Beauty products. “more minis are on the way to @ultabeauty in @target,” she captioned the post.
The adorable announcement comes about a week after Rih attended the Crop Over Festival in her home country of Barbados, stunning the crowd in a bedazzled carnival outfit complete with multi-color feathered wings. Before that, she watched Manchester City’s match against AC Milan at Yankee Stadium and met star players Christian Pulisic, Jack Grealish and Yunus Musah. While there, one young fan snubbed her by asking her to take a photo of him with the soccer pros, seemingly not recognizing the billionaire nine-time Grammy winner right in front of him.

As some fans joked after a video of the interaction went viral, the fact that Rih hasn’t released an album in eight years could very well be the reason certain kids don’t know who she is anymore. The mogul herself previously addressed the matter in a hilarious message to GloRilla, a screenshot of which the “TGIF” rapper posted on Instagram in July: “I know dis wild hypothetical, but when the album drop?”
To date, Rihanna has been coy about a release date or vibe for her untitled ninth album, the follow-up to 2016 album Anti. In June, after fans got scared by a T-shirt she sported reading “I’m Retired,” the singer promised fans, “I’m not retired. I just like that dress. I got it as a gift and I loved it. They didn’t read the second line, I’m not retired, I’m just retired from dressing up — it’s a lot of effort.” She also noted at the time that she’s “starting over” when it comes to her music.
“But I don’t want to neglect the songs that I have, so I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with,” she said.
