Bad Bunny‘s WWE orientation involved getting scars all over his body and hurting his back. But he’s ready for more.

While promoting his new album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Bad Bunny told Rolling Stone that he’s ready to step back in the ring.

“I want to do it one more time. I want to put my life at risk in the ring. I felt like I didn’t risk it enough in the ring, and I want to do it. I want to scare my mother,” he said. “When? I don’t know. We stay in contact with the people at WWE, we’re always paying attention to what’s going on. But when, I don’t know. I hope there’s a time where I can really get ready, like I did the last few times. And I’d love to take more time to get ready physically.” He added, “I’m going to go full time and be a heel… I was always a fan of the villains more than the good guys.”

Speaking of heels, Logan Paul has volunteered his services. “Then get in the ring with me,” the social media star-turned-wrestler wrote on Instagram.

The pair have never faced each other in a wrestling match, but in 2022, Paul called out Bad Bunny for being “a Puerto Rican living in Puerto Rico who is privately taking advantage of the same tax program that he is publicly condemning… While I love Bad Bunny, I cannot personally support the hypocritical nature of his exploitation.”

Why is Logan Paul commenting on Puerto Rican tax policies? Good question! There’s only one way to settle the feud: by smashing fluorescent light tubes on each other’s heads.

With his first album of 2025, WHAM (Who Hard As Me), topping the Billboard 200 a week after its release, Lil Baby has assigned a release date to its follow-up, Dominique — and it’s sooner than you might have thought.

In a post celebrating the success of his new album, the Atlanta rapper revealed that he’s planning on dropping the next one in February. While he didn’t reveal an exact date, he did caption his Instagram post, “See yall Again in a couple weeks ‘Dominique’ The Album 2-?-25.”

Lil Baby first revealed his plan to release two albums back-to-back in December in an interview with his Quality Control labelmate Lil Yachty. Appearing on Boat’s podcast, A Safe Space, Baby said, “At first, I was telling people I was going to drop a double album. Now, I’m dropping the WHAM album and Dominique album.”

He elaborated on why he decided to split the projects, explaining, “WHAM is more me on some young n**** sh*t — fast cars, girls, jewelry, money. You know, the turnt lifestyle. And Dominique is more the serious me, more personal. That’s a part of the new journey I’m on. I hate the word vulnerable, but I’m gonna be more open to my fans and my audience.”

He wouldn’t be the first rapper from Atlanta to release multiple albums in a short span. Future famously released Future and HNDRXX within two weeks of each other in 2017, and last year, dropped We Still Don’t Trust You a month after We Don’t Trust You with Metro Boomin.

Incidentally, both Baby and Future may have another album coming out this year; Baby teased a joint project between the two ATLiens is in the works, and it may also include Young Thug, who has worked extensively with both.

Following the release of 2023’s Honey, Samia toured with Boygenius and Bleachers and appeared on Paul Mescal’s All Of Us Strangers playlist, alongside other indie favorites like The National and Mitski. Now she’s back with a new album, Bloodless, and its first single, “Bovine Excision.”

Bloodless, which was made with co-producers Caleb Wright and Jake Luppen as well as songwriters Christian Lee Hutson (an I Think You Should Leave favorite) and Raffaela, was inspired by unsolved mysteries. “I noticed a pattern in my life of wanting to live up to the person I became in someone’s head; you become a lot bigger with distance,” Samia explained.

As for “Bovine Excision,” Samia says she was “drawn to the phenomenon of bloodless cattle mutilation as a metaphor for self-extraction — this clinical pursuit of emptiness. The song begins sparse before tumbling into a cathartic release as she feels “drained, drained bloodless.” It’s effectively haunting.

It’s only mid-January, but the days are starting to get longer, which means that if you squint and look over the horizon, you can see summer coming. If you’re a planner, some news that might shape what your summer looks like just dropped: Today (January 14), the lineup for the 2025 edition of the Governors Ball festival was just announced, and it’s led by Tyler The Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier.

The lineup also features Benson Boone, Feid, Glass Animals, Mk.gee, T-Pain, Tyla, Jpegmafia, Mannequin Pussy, Matt Champion, Jean Dawson, Conan Gray, Marina, Mariah The Scientist, Car Seat Headrest, Mt. Joy, Clairo, Royel Otis, The Japanese House, Amaarae, Key Glock, Militarie Gun, and more.

The fest is going down at New York City’s Flushing Meadows Corona Park from June 6 to 8. As for tickets, there’s an SMS pre-sale for which fans can sign up now (here), and it runs from January 16 from 10 to 11 a.m. ET. Prices will then increase when the public on-sale begins the same day at 11 a.m. ET.

In a statement, Sue Donoghue, NYC Parks Commissioner, said, “Summer in New York City is not complete without the sound of music playing in our parks. Holding the Governor’s Ball in our iconic Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens is the perfect way to celebrate the arts and bring people together. We look forward to seeing New Yorkers and visitors alike join us in Queens for this thrilling kick off to summer in one of our most storied parks.”

Snoop Dogg is a Los Angeles icon, so given that the city is dealing with the LA wildfires at the moment, he wants to use his influence and do what he can to help. For Snoop, that could take the form of a charity concert, as he suggested on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night (January 13).

He said:

“There was talks about concerts to raise money for the victims and the people that have lost in this situation, so I think that’s more of the angle that I would be leaning towards — to do a concert and not, you know, be paid, and take my proceeds and the proceeds from the tickets and make sure that the people got something.”

Elsewhere during the interview, he spoke about the togetherness he’s seen in response to the fires, saying, “California, this is like our first time dealing with [an environmental tragedy], and the way the world is helping us — that’s the important thing, is that people aren’t looking at differences; they’re just looking at trying to make a difference.”

He also gave props to the firefighters working to put out the blaze, saying, “I feel like they have the toughest job and they don’t never get no credit, and they always show up and they do what’s best. And when the job is over with, it’s like they’re forgotten about. But we need to give them a lot of praise right now, I give them a lot.”

Nine Inch Nails are taking some time off from winning Golden Globes to go on a worldwide tour in 2025. The industrial band confirmed as much on Instagram on Monday but haven’t released the dates yet, out of respect for the devastation caused by the Los Angeles wildfires.

“Since some dates and information about our world tour have leaked we are confirming that yes we will be touring and will provide more details soon,” the post on Nine Inch Nails’ official account reads. “We are all watching the devastation that is unfolding in California and have paused our announcement while people try to deal with all that is happening.”

If you want a Nine Inch Nails fix until the tour is announced, re-watch season 3 of The Bear.

In a recent interview with The Talks, Trent Reznor and Atticuss Ross were asked when they know a film score is working.

“Having done this for a little while, the best moment in a film score or even with a Nine Inch Nails album, is when you have learned to trust yourself that this is it,” Reznor replied. “You have to trust that this is it, because you can always go further — and often you go further and you f*ck it up because you’ve gone past what was good. You also have to deal with your own inherent laziness and desire for it just to be done, you have to make sure you’re not jumping the gun and fooling yourself into that. But as we’ve learned to recognize… I think you know it’s working when you feel goosebumps.”

Donald Trump is set to kick off his second non-consecutive term as president with his inauguration on January 20. Typically, these events have big-time stars performing: Lady Gaga sang the national anthem at Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021, for example.

While many music stars aren’t interested in associating themselves with Trump, one recognizable artist has agreed to play the inauguration: It was announced yesterday (January 13) that country icon Carrie Underwood will sing “America The Beautiful” at the event.

In a statement (per the Associated Press), Underwood explained her reasoning for taking on the gig, saying:

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Underwood previously discussed her reluctance to get involved in politics during a 2019 interview with The Guardian, saying, “I feel like more people try to pin me places politically. I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public, because nobody wins. It’s crazy. Everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it, like it’s black and white. And it’s not like that. […] And it does kind of bug me when people take a song, or take something I said, and try to pigeonhole or force me to pick a side or something. It’s a discussion — a long discussion.”

Since The Beyoncé Bowl, fans have eagerly been awaking the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s next moves. Today (January 14), Beyoncé was scheduled to make an announcement regarding what’s next for her as teased in a cryptic promotional video. However, in a message upload onto her Instagram page (viewable here), Beyoncé revealed that the wait will continue on.

Out of respect for everyone effected by the wildfires across Los Angeles County, Beyoncé decided to nix the heavily theorized announcement.

On January 12, Beyoncé’s BeyGood Foundation revealed it made a $2.5 million donation toward LA Fires relief efforts, writing: “Los Angeles we stand with you. BeyGOOD is taking action by announcing the LA Fire Relief Fund with a donation of 2.5 million dollars. The fund is earmarked to aid families in the Altadena/Pasadena area who lost their homes, and to churches and community centers to address the immediate needs of those affected by the wildfires.”

Read Beyoncé’s full statement regarding her delayed announcement below.

The January 14th announcement will be postponed to a later date due to the devastation caused by the ongoing wildfires around areas of Los Angeles.

I continue to pray for healing and rebuilding for the families suffering from trauma and loss. We are so blessed to have brave first responders who continue to work tirelessly to protect the Los Angeles community.

To join our efforts in supporting those impacted, please visit @BeyGood.

Love,

B

Nearly no entertainer put as much care into their live shows as Björk. Sadly, for fans of the “Nature Manifesto” musician that means Björk performances are far and few between.

Yesterday (January 13), during an interview with The Guardian, Björk seemingly explained why as she confessed to preferring residencies to tours.

“The nuts and bolts are more flexible,” she said. “Maybe being a woman, or a matriarch, or whatever, I try to make it more that people can actually have a life. I have gently fought, since my teenage years, this macho way of how people organize both films and tours.”

Björk went on to provide a rather consideration explanation for choosing residencies over tours. “‘Oh, let’s now work 18 hours a day, every single day, until everybody throws up,’” she sarcastically said. “I always wanted to coexist. You can have a personal life. You can have your kids. You can have your partners there. I’m not saying I’ve succeeded. But at least I’ve tried to create a world that is more open to things like that.”

In 2023, wrapped up her most recent global run, the Cornucopia Tour, which consisted of 45 shows. With a team traveling across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia you can only imagine how physically exhausting that could be.

SZA’s admiration for Drew Barrymore is well documented. On her debut studio album, CTRL, she even named a song after the Charlie’s Angels actor. So, today (January 13) when the “Drive” singer made an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show viewers knew they were in for a touching treat, and they were not disappointed.

During their chat, an emotional SZA thanked Drew Barrymore for “giving here permission” to be herself. “I wrote you this letter that I never sent you,” she said. “When you’re a younger Black woman, there are not a lot of examples all the time, and one of the few lovely white women that I looked up to so much on television was you because you were so yourself.”

She continued: “You were quirky. Your smile wasn’t perfect. I have a slight speech impediment, and people laugh all the time. They’re like, ‘What is SZA saying?’ And it’s like a running joke.”

SZA closed the compliment fest by expressing her gratitude to Barrymore for the impact her presence had on her growing up. “I love the way you talk and like, just all the you-ness of you, your laugh, even in the movies and in real life,” she said. “It just reminds me of all the things about myself that make me nervous, but on you, it shines so brightly. You gave me permission to be myself… And be like, this is so cool…. All your old photo shoots, I look them up… I love you.”
