With the final leg of her European tour coming this week in London, Taylor Swift has moved her showtimes up and gave an announcement to un-ticketed Swifties. Keep watching for the details.

Narrator:

After the threat of a terrorist attack and the canceling of three shows in Vienna, Taylor Swift is making some adjustments to her Eras Tour shows in London. Taylor’s five scheduled shows at Wembley Stadium are getting a new start time. According to the venue, the early entry and general admission times have been moved up by 15 minutes, leading local press to believe Taylor may take the stage earlier than usual. While tons of Swifties gathered in Vienna to celebrate Swift, despite the cancellation of their tour stop, organizers at Wembley Stadium have asked all Swifties without tickets who do not plan to visit the merch megastores to avoid the area. The venue informed attendees, “To support with the safe entry and exit of everyone within the stadium, no one is allowed to stand outside any entrance or on the Olympic Steps at the front of the stadium. Non-ticket holders will be moved on.” Billboard has reached out to Taylor’s reps, but have not heard back at the time of recording.

Katy Perry is being investigated by the Balearic government because of her latest video for “Lifetimes.” In the music video, she’s seen dancing around Ibiza and Formentera. Part of the filming took place on an islet in the Ses Salines Natural Park. The area of concern is a restricted area of the dunes that is protected by poles and ropes, prohibiting visitors from passage. According to a press release, The Department of the Environment has not yet determined whether a crime against the environment has occurred, but the ministry confirmed the production company for the video did not obtain authorization to film in the protected area and they didn’t even apply for it. Billboard has reached out to Katy Perry’s team for comment.

LISA announces that she is set to star in the third season of ‘The White Lotus,’ teases her new single with Rosalía and more! Keep watching to see what she has to say.

We already knew LISA was a dancer and a rapper, but now you can add actor to the list. She’s set to appear in season 3 of HBO’s ‘The White Lotus’ when it premieres next year. She told ELLE she was happy for a second when she learned she nabbed the role, but then thought, “Wait, wait, how am I going to deliver this?” LISA said she feels like it’s similar to shooting a music video, so she’s all good. We know she knows her way around a music video set. She even told the mag she learned the “Rockstar” choreo right before hair and makeup for the video. Speaking of music videos, LISA gave us another little teaser for her new song with Rosalía. The video is directed by Dave Meyers. You may know some of the other music videos he’s directed for Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter. And Rosalía isn’t the only superstar LISA admires. Also in her ELLE interview, she praises Taylor Swift for her ability to perform by herself for three and a half hours a night. But when asked who she’s listening to now, LISA said she’s got Ariana Grande’s “the boy is mine” on repeat. Can LISA and Ari collab next please?

And SB19 is fresh off a new release, after dominating the previous rounds. But can A’TIN take out Swifties and defend their title from last year? Our other match-up is quite the surprise. Hozier’s fans helped him narrowly beat out the Beyhive, but now he’s up against Rihanna’s Navy. Hozier may have the more recent Hot 100 No. 1 — his first on the chart — but Rihanna has 14 of ‘em, the last one claiming the top spot eight years ago. Who are you voting for? Head over to Billboard.com to see who’s in the lead and to cast your vote.
