Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour is coming to a close soon, and while some of us are lucky enough to have gotten or plan to get last-minute tickets, her backup dancer Brianna Pavon has treated us to some behind-the-scenes content that won’t be shown onstage.

Pavon posted a video to her personal TikTok on Sept. 11, showing off the Lululemon Curve Duffle bag as well as the must-haves she packs inside. While the exact style she uses is no longer in stock, there is a similar one by the brand that is still available.

“This bag has seen the world literally three times,” Pavon says in the video.

Within her personal bag, she carries everything from a long phone charger, muscle massage balls, AirPods and the Laneige lip mask — and that’s just in a single front pocket. She also goes on to say that through Lululemon’s warranty, you can replace the bag or, if it’s out of stock, get a similar style for equal or lesser value, making the price tag worth the investment.

Keep reading to shop the tour-approved bag brand and a budget-friendly style below.

Rosé may be winding down her world tour with BLACKPINK, but the K-pop singer has already joined another project: Romiwa‘s new travel campaign.

It’s no secret that the star moves around a lot, which means having a handy set of luggage is basically a travel necessity. Now, she joins the likes of Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton and French soccer star Kylian Mbappé to show off the luggage brand’s Never Still campaign featuring sleek shades and versatile designs.

In a series of short films, the campaign looks to show the normal, everyday side of Rosé and co. Within the main video, you get to see the Pink Venom singer begin to pack up her suitcase — a task that some of us love to leave for the last minute.

Well, if you’re a music fan, you could plan your vacation around music history, so Billboard has rounded up 13 landmarks that should be on every music fan’s travel bucket list — along with a few hotel and tour recommendations and links to cheap flights.
Eleven of the hot spots are in the United States, while a couple — Abbey Road and Strawberry Field — are specifically for Beatles fans visiting the U.K. For Abbey Road, fans can snap a photo on the famed London crosswalk where the band shot the cover of their 1969 album or even tour the studio where the LP was recorded. Strawberry Field is in the band’s hometown of Liverpool — which is a two-hour-plus train ride from London — and was a Salvation Army children’s home that inspired the 1967 song “Strawberry Fields Forever.”
Back to the U.S., if you’re looking to head Down South, you could visit Pigeon Forge, Tenn., for the Dolly Parton-themed Dollywood amusement park, or Elvis Presley fans can get a double dose of The King in Memphis, Tenn.: at his Graceland mansion or Sun Studio where he recorded his very first song. Plus, don’t forget to pay homage to country music in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame. If you’re looking for a centrally located hotel, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown is walking distance from the Country Music Hall of Fame and a short drive from the Grand Ole Opry. The four-star hotel, which opened last year, features panoramic views of downtown Nashville, an on-site restaurant, indoor pool, fitness center, business center and live music. Outside Tennessee, there’s the famous Preservation Hall in New Orleans, which is home to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Elsewhere across America, there’s Prince’s beloved Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minn., where fans will get a first-hand look at Prince’s personal archives, including his awards, wardrobe and musical instruments. Also featured on the list: Motown Museum in Detroit and the famous Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y.; the scenic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo.; the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland; and Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, N.Y., which was the site of the Woodstock music festival in 1969.
Below, find photos of all these important locations of music history.
