Ivy Queen reveals five things you didn’t know about her. IVY QUEEN:Hola, mi nombre es Ivy Queen y tengo cinco cosas para compartirte que no sabías. La numero uno, me trago los chicles. No sé si es malo or bueno, pero lo hago. La segunda, me encanta todo lo que tiene que ver con skin […]

Bad Bunny gives us some Jersey club sounds with his new track ‘Where She Goes.’ Miley Cyrus spilled some serious tea for the cover of British Vogue, opening up about whether ‘Flowers’ is about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, the advice she’s received from Dolly Parton, and her thoughts about touring. The long-awaited track for the ‘Fast X’ soundtrack ‘Angel Pt. 1’ featuring BTS’ Jimin is here. Baby Tate & Saweetie test how well they know each other. And more!

Tetris Kelly 0:00Miley clears up rumors and says she doesn’t want to tour. Justin Timberlake laughs when the internet jokes about his wife Jessica Biel. We’ve got hit after hit in your Friday music guide. You see how well Saweetie and Baby Tate know each other. And Maria Becerra builds her ultimate girl group. Happy Friday! I’m Tetris and this is Billboard News. It’s May 19th and we’ve got a ton of new bops in your Friday music guide.

Tetris Kelly 0:32Has Bad Bunny ever failed? I think not. He gives us everything we need with new track ‘Where She Goes,’ including cameos from Frank Ocean and Lil Uzi Vert.

Tetris Kelly 0:49We’ll have more new music throughout the show, but first, let’s get to our top story. Miley Cyrus is on the cover of British Vogue and on the inside she’s having quite the tea party because she is spilling — here are three things to know from her revealing cover story.

Tetris Kelly 1:09First Miley’s eight-week Hot 100 chart topper ‘Flowers’ was almost very different. She said the empowering song used to be said with one lyric saying “I can buy myself flowers, right? Write my name in the sand, but I can’t love me better than you can.” Plus Miley says she doesn’t have time for the rumors that the song is about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. She’s not into tricking the audience. If it were about him, you’d know.

Tetris Kelly 1:37Second, Miley said she’s not a fan of those major tours. She said there’s no safety. It’s also not natural. It’s so isolated because you’re in front of 100,000 people then you are alone. It’s not that she can’t do it. She just doesn’t have the desire to do it.

Tetris Kelly 1:57Finally, she reveals some of the best advice she got from her godmother Dolly Parton when she remembered a wardrobe malfunction while hosting New Year’s Eve with Pete Davidson.

Tetris Kelly 2:19It’s safe to say I’m in my grave. BTS’ Jimin is joined by Muni Long, Kodak Black, NLE Choppa and Jvke on ‘Angel Pt.1’ from ‘Fast X.’ And the only way to describe this song is angelic.

Tetris Kelly 2:38Saweetie and Baby Tate made me a bop together with ‘Hey Mickey’. So to celebrate we put their friendship to the test.

Saweetie and Baby Tate 2:45I’m Baby Tate and I’m Saweetie and we’re gonna see how well we know each other

Producer 2:58Who would win in a twerk off?

Baby Tate 3:01Me — not in this dress

Producer 3;08Who’s most likely to be late to set?

Saweetie 3:09Don’t judge me, there was traffic today. I think it’s neutral.

Producer 3:17Who’s the bigger spender?

Baby Tate 3:22Probably Saweetie — you see this shirt?

Producer 3:27Who takes the most selfies?

Saweetie 3:29Oh I don’t know, that might be a tie. Yeah, I feel like we’re both picture girls.

Baby Tate 3:33I was definitely taking pictures earlier

Saweetie 3:36Me too.

Baby Tate 3:38Gotta get that good light

Saweetie 3:38Right?

Producer 3:40Who is most likely to Google themselves?

Baby Tate 3:43Me.

Saweetie 3:44Me too.

Producer 3:52Who is the better driver?

Saweetie 3:53Oh me.

Baby Tate 3:54I don’t drive, so definitely Saweetie.

Saweetie 3:55I’m like the best getaway driver. I’m thinking in another life…

Baby Tate 3:59Like a race car?

Saweetie 4:00No like a getaway driver.

Baby Tate 4:03That’s good to know.

Producer 4:08Who’s the bigger crier?

Baby Tate 4:11Oh, I mean, I don’t really cry that much.

Saweetie 4:12Me either.

Baby Tate 4:13I don’t have any water in my chart.

Saweetie 3 4:13I have hella water in my chart, but shoot.

Baby Tate 4:16You don’t be crying?

Saweetie 4:17No I don’t.

Baby Tate 4:18It’s no more pain over here.

Producer 4:20Who is most likely to forget lyrics while performing?

Baby Tate 4:28Yeah, definitely we forget. We have so many songs.

Saweetie 4:32Right?

Baby Tate 4:32I think people, like they get a little hard on artists like how you don’t remember your words. Like I write a lot of words.

Saweetie 4:38I think it’d be like the choreo with the rapping. I did it one time and they caught me in 4k.

Tetris Kelly 4:47Kesha is showing us only love can save us now. Her new album ‘Gag Order’ has arrived.

Tetris Kelly 4:59Kylie Minogue is entering a new era with ‘Padam Padam’

Tetris Kelly 5:12Justin Timberlake is responding to a TikTok user claiming the singer’s girlfriend looks just like Jessica Biel.

Tetris Kelly 5:27Justin Timberlake got in on the fun this week after someone pointed out the stark similarities between his wife and Jessica Biel. The joke started when the TikTok user left a comment on the pop star’s video writing, “I don’t know who you are, but your girlfriend looks like Jessica Biel, Congrats” followed by a pair of starry-eyed and thumbs-up emojis. The couple has been married for more than a decade and the singer couldn’t resist turning the comment into a bit. In the video, JT lowers his sunglasses to look directly at the camera, and he doubled down in the caption, writing ‘from now on I’m only going by Jessica Biel’s boyfriend.’ Gotta love it. Justin can jump in and make a joke out of this — now where’s some new music?

Tetris Kelly 6:10The worlds of Disney and K-pop have collided and I couldn’t be happier. Danielle from NewJeans voices ‘The Little Mermaid’ and K-pop idol Ailee lends her voice to Disney’s ‘The Ghost and Molly McGee.’

Tetris Kelly 6:35Now let’s toss it to Maria Becerra who told us down in Miami who would be in her ultimate girl group.

Tetris Kelly 7:11That’s it for today, we’ll be back Monday with your latest in charts and music news. But before you go, we’ve got one more entry in your Friday music guide. If your heart is broken, you might need to stay away from this next one. Lewis Capaldi returns with ‘Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.’ For even more new music make sure you head to Billboard.com. I’m Tetris Kelly and this is Billboard News.

Maria Becerra tells us who she would want in her dream girl group. MARIA BECERRA:Hola a todos, soy Maria Becerra y ahora les voy a decir quiénes serían las integrantes de mi grupo favorito en el que yo estaría. A mí me encantaría arma un grupo de chicas tipo las Destiny’s Child, como algo así […]

Taylor Lautner reacts to the news that Taylor Swift is releasing the re-recording of ‘Speak Now,’ BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS’ V were reportedly spotted out together, and Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford have split. The first weekend in June is set to be a party at OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride with major performances. Labrinth talks about his new album ‘Ends & Begins’ and his experience performing with Billie Eilish and Zendaya at Coachella during an exclusive interview with Billboard News!

TETRIS KELLY:We’ve got updates on the love lives of Billy Eilish and BLACKPINK’s Jennie. We’re running down what to expect at WeHo Pride. Labrinth tells us about his epic Coachella sets with Billie and Zendaya. And we learned Colombian slang from Goyo.

I’m Tetris Kelly and this is Billboard News. It’s Thursday, May 18th. We’ve got some romance rumors, breakups, and friendly exes to talk about. Billie, V and Jennie, Tay and Tay, and Halle and her prince — so much relationship tea to around up. Let’s dive in! The star of ‘The Little Mermaid’ was asked by People if her real-life boyfriend, DDG, was also a Prince Charming, to which she responded, “People love to talk about this. Yeah, I would say that.” And Taylor Lautner is saying John Mayer better watch out as his ex Taylor Swift prepares to release “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” Both his and John’s relationships with the pop star will resurface. He posted #PrayforJohn. And it’s the K-pop power couple everyone’s talking about. Alleged video of BTS’ V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie holding hands and being cozy in Paris have surfaced sending fans into a frenzy with most asking to respect them, their decisions, and privacy. And lastly, Billie Eilish and her boyfriend Jesse Rutherford have split after seven months of dating. The two were last spotted together at Coachella as Eilish showed up to the Met Gala alone. Now we wait to see if Jesse’s new music will address it all.

Pride Month is almost upon us and here in Los Angeles, we celebrate in part with music, and OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride is bringing the party this year. With headliners like Carly Rae Jepsen, Grace Jones, Idina Menzel and Jessie Ware, OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride is about to be a banger. More acts for the first weekend in June include Tinashe, Orville Peck and ‘Drag Race’ winner Kylie Sonique Love.

Kylie released a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” as a message of support to the trans and drag communities who are under attack through hundreds of bills being passed around the United States. Tickets are still available for OUTLOUD at WeHo Pride and we’ll be there to talk to all your favorite performers.

Let’s move on to our interview with Labrinth. He told Billboard’s Jason Lipshutz that he worked on his latest album ‘Ends & Begins’ for a full year, but it was Coachella that helped him finally release it.

LABRINTH:I started putting the show together. And I was like, ‘If I’m going to do a show, I just want it to be the sickest thing that I think I’ve ever seen or haven’t seen.’ And so I just started kind of composing what my set would be. Me and Billie ended up doing the record ‘Never Felt So Alone.’ And I was like, “Do you want to maybe come to Coachella and perform it with me?” And she was like, “Yeah.” and I was like, “Really?” She’s like, “Okay.” That’s wild. And you know, me and Billie really loved the record that we did together. And it kind of felt like a natural progression into us performing it. And like actually ground-testing this record and seeing how the fans really enjoyed it. And it was wild. I was like, “[Zendaya], I’m going to perform at Coachella, I would love to do our songs together.” And she was like, “I would love to but I don’t have the time.” I didn’t think she could make it. And then I think last minute something happened that made her have to pass through. And she was like, “Lab, I want to do the show.” And I was like, “Really?” As soon as she said she wanted to do it. I was like, this is a moment. Like, I just knew it straight away. But then when we actually performed it, it was like, “Oh… right!” It was more than I thought it was going to be, like it was insane. We couldn’t hear ourselves. That’s how loud it was in there.

I share this quite often because I know there are a lot of people that have this experience or have had this experience where, like, I have ADHD, and I didn’t know I had it. Even for season one, I didn’t know I had ADHD. And before discovering that it made it very difficult for me to finish anything. Even though I did a lot for the show. It was very intense and very, like grueling. I think I’ve learned the process of taking care of my brain and my mind and mental health so that I can make sure I can deliver the things I want to deliver and also know my capacity as well, you know. So I think that’s been the process is kind of going okay, how do you achieve the thing you want to achieve? But also how do you make sure you don’t become a vegetable by the end of it? You know?

TETRIS KELLY:For the full interview head to Billboard.com!

CARLY PEARCE:Hey, Billboard, it’s Carly Pearce, and I’m so excited to see all of you on June 7th for the Women of Country Panel. Get your tickets now. See you then!

TETRIS KELLY:Before you go, we learned some new slang from Goyo at Billboard’s Latin Women in Music.

GOYO:¿Mi frases favoritas de mi países por ejemplo? Mi nombre es Goyo, soy de Colombia. Cuando hablo con slang, mi gusta mucho decir “clean”m porque estar clean es estar como con el outfit, con la pinta. Otra palabra qué me encanta mucho es “chévere”, porque es una palabra que mucha gente conoce que no solamente se conoce en Colombia, sino en diferentes lados de Latinoamérica, y suena… “¡chévere!” Otra palabra la verdad uso mucho, “chimba”. Yo soy del Chocó y en Medellín es donde más se usa, pero yo la uso todo el tiempo. “¡Esto es una chimba!”, cuando digo que algo está así como hard, lo máximo, una chimba. Estas fueron mis palabras o frases favoritas desde Colombia.

TETRIS KELLY:That’s it for today. Come back tomorrow for our Friday Music Guide and we’ll see how well Saweetie and Baby Tate know each other.

Bad Bunny teased a new track on TikTok and fans are excited for his potential return to music. Billboard looks at which Britney songs are ruling her streaming numbers over the past 18 months. Luke Combs recently gave Ed Sheeran a life lesson in the quintessential American art of suds-based party tricks. And more!

TETRIS KELLY:Bad Bunny teases new music and puts his romance on display. We run down Britney’s success while on hiatus. Luke Combs teaches Ed Sheeran a classic American tradition. We get to know Rita Ora a little better, and we find out who would be in Nicole Zignago’s ultimate girl group. Hey guys, Tetris Kelly here for Billboard News. It’s May 17th and Bad Bunny has been busy. Let me break it down for you.

Bad Bunny hopped on TikTok to tease new music, and I must admit the track is a banger. After a melodic intro the beat drops and Benito couldn’t control himself. Fans are ready for the new track — and a change in his dating life. One user commented “Benito you need to drop this song and Kendall [Jenner] at the same time.” The two have been inseparable, spending time partying after the Met Gala in New York and hanging courtside in LA at Lakers games. Do you approve of the new music? How about Benito’s boo? Well let us know in the comments.

Now it’s time to talk about my girl Britney Jean. Fans still love Britney Spears. Despite releasing only one song in the past seven years, the pop star’s music still resonates. Billboard’s Jason Lipshutz joins us to discuss how her music is doing 18 months after the #FreeBritney movement.

JASON LIPSHUTZ:It’s been a year and a half since Britney Spears’ conservatorship ended and we were just interested in looking at what her streams and sales and biggest hits look like in that time period when people are just kind of experiencing Britney Spears’ music once again, kind of in a different reality of post-conservatorship Britney.

TETRIS KELLY:I was surprised to learn ‘Toxic’ has become Britney’s biggest streaming hit over the past year.

JASON LIPSHUTZ:It peaked at No. 9 on the Hot 100, but aside from ‘Hold Me Closer,’ her newest single, it was her most streamed song over the past year. It was her most played song on radio over the past year, nearly 20 years since its release. And ‘Toxic’ is basically as strong as ever. It’s kind of the de facto biggest Britney Spears catalog hit at this point.

TETRIS KELLY:As you just mentioned, Britney’s only release in seven years ‘Hold Me Closer’ with Elton John did pretty well debuting at No. 6 on the Hot 100.

JASON LIPSHUTZ:People really love this song. It’s become basically Britney’s biggest hit in years and it was never a sure thing that that it was going to last beyond that first few weeks.

TETRIS KELLY:So Jason, tell me when can we expect new music from the pop star?

JASON LIPSHUTZ:There’s no announced plans for a new single or new album but one thing that ‘Hold Me Closer’ did suggest is that there is an openness to releasing new music at some point.

TETRIS KELLY:Let’s talk about international relations. The U.S. and the U.K. have a long history. We’ve got a new event to add to the history books.

ED SHEERAN:“By the way, for context, Luke is — what is this, shooting?”

LUKE COMBS:“Shotgun. Shotgun.”

ED SHEERAN:“Luke is teaching me how to shotgun a beer.”

TETRIS KELLY:Luke Combs taught Ed Sheeran an essential American party trick just in time for summer: shotgunning a beer.

LUKE COMBS:“You want me to go first or you want to go together?”

ED SHEERAN:“I think let’s go together, all right?”

LUKE COMBS:“All right count us down.”

LUKE COMBS“Be mindful of where your top is here right? Because once that opens beer’s coming out of that if it’s pointing to the ground, so you want this point in the sky and once you’re up then you crack the top and it’s just just gonna go.”

TETRIS KELLYI personally never had shotgunned a beer before, but I may follow those steps and give it a try

JELLY ROLLWhat’s up y’all it’s your boy Jelly Roll. I want to encourage you to get your tickets now for my show with Billboard on June 6 at Music Marathon Works in Nashville, Tennessee. Tickets available now. I’ll see y’all there.

TETRIS KELLYIf you want to learn more about Rita Ora, you’re in luck. We played a little rapid fire game with the pop star.

KATIE BAINWho has made you the most starstruck?

Katie Bain 1:42Well no, because he’s amazing.

Rita Ora 1:42He’s absolutely iconic. I just love Chris because of the soul and then he gives me straight gospel soul

Katie Bain 1:52The one song I wish I wrote?

Rita Ora 1:57Oh, I always say this: ‘Don’t Speak,’ No Doubt. It’s just just written perfectly. It’s like the perfect song and I’m just like obsessed with Gwen Stefani.

Katie Bain 2:12The last song I listened to was…

Rita Ora 2:14What was I just listening to in the car? I think it was like a SZA song because I’m like everyone else in the world obsessed with this the whole SZA album.

Katie Bain 2:23You probably wouldn’t guess but I’d love to work with…

Rita Ora 2:27Probably Chris Stapleton.

Katie Bain 2:29Hell yes, you guys would be amazing together.
