Payne released the video for his latest song, featuring Migos member Quavo, Friday (June 2). With this video being his first music video without his fellow One Direction members, Payne said that “Filming my first solo video without the rest of the band was very different!

However, Urban Outfitters has slipped up again and has already started selling Hopeless Fountain Kingdom in stores. The album is not due to be released until Friday.

Ariana Grande to Perform Benefit Concert In Manchester

by Malachi Weaver
written by Malachi Weaver

Only four days after the Manchester concert bombing that left 22 dead and 59 injured, Ariana Grande has gone to Twitter to share a letter of condolence.

The letter is Grande’s first statement since her tweet from immediately after the attack where she stated that she was “broken” and “so so sorry.”

While Grande has suspended her European tour until June 5, she emphasizes in her letter that she will return to the stage soon, and is in the midst of planning a benefit concert.

“I’ll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise money for the victims and their families. I want to thank my fellow musicians and friends for reaching out to be a part of our expression of love for Manchester. I will have details to share with you as soon as everything is confirmed.”

Read her full post below.

My heart, prayers and deepest condolences are with the victims of the Manchester Attack and their loved ones.

There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better. However, I extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and yours, should you want or need my help in any way.

The only thing we can do now is choose how we let this affect us and how we live our lives from here on out.

I have been thinking of my fans, and of you all, non stop over the past week. The way you have handled all of this has been more inspiring and made me more proud than you’ll ever now. The compassion, kindness, love, strength and oneness that you’ve shown one another this past week is the exact opposite of the heinous intentions it must take to pull off something as evil as what happened Monday.

YOU are the opposite.

I am sorry for the pain and fear that you must be feeling and for the trauma that you, too, must be experiencing.

We will never be able to understand why events like this take place because it is not in our nature, which is why we shouldn’t recoil.

We will not quit or operate in fear.

We won’t let this divide us.

We won’t let hate win.

I don’t want to go the rest of the year without being able to see and hold and uplift my fans, the same way they continue to uplift me.

Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before.

I’ll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise money for the victims and their families. I want to thank my fellow musicians and friends for reaching out to be a part of our expression of love for Manchester. I will have details to share with you as soon as everything is confirmed.

From the day we started putting the Dangerous Woman Tour together, I said that this show, more than anything else, was intended to be a safe space for my fans. A place for them to escape, to celebrate, to heal, to fell safe and to be themselves. To meet their friends they’ve made online. To express themselves.

This will not change that.

When you look into the audience at my shows, you see a beautiful, diverse, pure, happy crowd. Thousands of people, incredibly different, all there for the same reason, music.

Music is something that everyone on Earth can share.

Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy.

So that is what it will continue to do for us.

We will continue in honor of the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and all affected by this tragedy.

They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life.

Ari.

Katy Perry Talks Taylor Swift Beef on ‘Carpool Karaoke’

by Malachi Weaver
written by Malachi Weaver

“Honestly, it’s really like she started it,” Katy Perry told James Corden during “Carpool Karaoke” on The Late Late Show, “and it’s time for her to finish it.”

Perry has avoided talking about her alleged beef with former friend Taylor Swift for years, but she has now given fans the explanation they have been waiting for.

“It’s about backing dancers, it’s so crazy.”

Perry explained that it all started when three of her backup dancers went on tour with Taylor Swift. “I was like, ‘yeah, of course. I’m not on a record cycle. Get the work, she’s great and all that, but I will be on a record cycle probably in about a year.’” She says that she asked the dancers to get a 30-day contingency in their contracts so they could re-join Perry when she went back on tour, but when the time came and the dancers approached Swift’s management to return to Perry’s tour, they were fired.

When she attempted to talk to Swift about the situation, Perry says that “she wouldn’t speak to me… there was a full shutdown and then she writes a song about me.”

For her part, Perry says that she is ready for “that B.S.” to be done.

After some prodding from Corden, Perry admitted that a simple text from Swift would be “absolutely, 100 percent” enough to end their beef.

Check out the full “Carpool Karaoke” clip below. The Taylor Swift conversation starts at 9:24.
