    Country music superstar Garth Brooks will help to deliver the festival experience live music-starved fans have been craving by headlining the 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days event this July.

    The 125th edition of the world’s largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration will be a star-studded affair, with Blake Shelton, Maren Morris, Eric Church, Kane Brown, and Ashley McBryde among the artists set to perform.

    Brooks will kick off the 10-day event on July 23, while Thomas Rhett and his singer dad, Rhett Akins, will be sharing the stage on July 24.

    In 2020, the event was canceled for the first time in its 124-year history because of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr said in an interview, “What this pandemic means is we just can’t come together. We really have to stay apart so we can come together again sooner rather than later. It’s clear that we just aren’t going to be ready for this.”

    About its return in 2021, Contract Acts chairman Randy Krafft said in a statement, “We are so glad to be sharing this lineup for 2021 tonight. It has been a long year for all of us and we can’t wait to welcome our fans back to Frontier Park.”

    And, in a rare move amid ongoing COVID-19 concerns, the gathering in Cheyenne, Wyoming will be held at full capacity, with 19,000 fans allowed to attend “with no mask requirement”, reports Billboard.com.

    However, organizers, who had to scrap plans for the 2020 celebrations due to the pandemic, have promised there will be increased cleaning and sanitizing across the venue, where guests will be asked to frequently wash their hands and use hand sanitizer, as well as cover their mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing.

    Instagram

    Hours after performing for the charity event, the ‘Holy’ crooner and his wife Hailey Baldwin hit up the star-studded party in West Hollywood with their old pals Drake, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

    Apr 10, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Justin Bieber has used his time for a good cause amid the coronavirus pandemic. More than two weeks after spreading the word of God at a Los Angeles prison, the “Sorry” hitmaker visited an elementary school in the city to treat its students and staff to a private concert.

    In a clip obtained by TMZ on Thursday, April 8, the 27-year-old Canadian native could be seen singing a few of his latest songs including “Holy”. He was also accompanied by his wife Hailey Baldwin during the event.

    For the outing, the “What Do You Mean” singer donned a white sweater underneath an open checked shirt, jeans and a black beanie. His model wife, who was seen hanging out backstage during the show, opted to go with a light brown jacket, black pants and an army green face mask.

    Justin held the concert in collaboration with Baby2Baby, a “nonprofit organization providing essential items to children in need across the country.” He additionally detailed on Instagram, “In the last 10 years, Baby2Baby has distributed over 150 million items to children in homeless shelters, domestic violence programs, foster care, hospitals and underserved schools as well as children who have lost everything in the wake of disaster.”

    Hours after performing for the charity event, Justin and Hailey hit up the star-studded party in West Hollywood with their old pals Drake, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. Also in attendance were Kendall’s beau Devin Booker, Tyga, Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly and Pia Mia.

    This came over two weeks after Justin went to the California State Prison of L.A. County to carry out his evangelical mission. A representative of The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spilled to TMZ that he visited the facility with his pastor on March 22 to support its faith-based programs.

    Taylor Swift Finally Releases Revamped 'Fearless' Album

    Instagram

    The ‘Cardigan’ singer has finally launched ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’, the re-recorded version of her 2008 Grammy-winning album ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’.

    Apr 10, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Taylor Swift has released the first of her re-recorded albums, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)”.

    The 31-year-old megastar’s new recording of the 2008 Grammy-winning LP features 26 songs and six previously unheard tracks.

    Taylor had already released “You All Over Me (From the Vault)” featuring Maren Morris, “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)”, and “Mr. Perfectly Fine (From the Vault)”.

    The latter was penned in 2008, but never made it onto the final track-listing for the original cut of “Fearless”.

    In the tune, which fans have speculated may have been written about her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, Taylor sings, “Mr. perfect face. Mr. here to stay. Mr. look me in the eye and told me you would never go away.

    “Hello, Mr. perfectly fine. How’s your heart after breaking mine? Mr. always at the right place at the right time, baby. Hello, Mr. casually cruel. Mr. everything revolves around you. I’ve been Miss misery since your goodbye. And you’re Mr. perfectly fine.”

    Keith Urban – who the “Cardigan” hitmaker supported on the Escape Together World in 2009 – duets with Taylor on “That’s When (From the Vault)” and the Australian superstar also added harmonies to “We Were Happy (From the Vault)”.

    “Bye Bye Baby” concludes the six unreleased cuts from “Fearless”.

    The final song on the track-listing is the bonus remix “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” by Elvira Anderfjard, a Swedish producer who has worked with the likes of Katy Perry and Tove Lo.

    Taylor had previously revealed her plans to release new versions of her early records after Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings bought the rights to her back catalogue.

    “It’s going to be fun, because it’ll feel like regaining a freedom and taking back what’s mine,” she said. “When I created (these songs), I didn’t know what they would grow up to be. Going back in and knowing that it meant something to people is actually a really beautiful way to celebrate what the fans have done for my music.”

    Quavo Appears to Diss Saweetie in New Snippet of Unreleased Track

    WENN/Apega

    The Migos star and the ‘Icy Girl’ raptress have a messy breakup after the former is accused of domestic abuse following the leak of their elevator fight footage.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Quavo appears to be having no intention to keep things civil between him and Saweetie following their split. If this is any indication, the Migos star may have caused further strain in their relationship as he appears to diss his ex in a new snippet of an unreleased track.

    In the newly-surfaced audio, the Athens-born artist rhymes, “Skrtttt Skrtttt takin back dat Bentley/ F**d dem h**s now I gotta act stingy/ new Huncho & Petro otw.” He is likely referring to the Bentley that he gave his then-girlfriend as a gift in December 2020.

    Following their split in February, there were rumors saying that Quavo repossessed the expensive car that he gifted his ex. “Quavo’s no dummy – the Bentley wasn’t in her name,” a source told MTO News at the time. “He’s not being petty or anything, but she’s on Twitter talking s**t. So he took back the car… He got that s**t.”

      See also…

    TMZ, however, later debunked the news, claiming that the 29-year-old emcee neither leased the car in his name nor ended the lease early in the wake of his breakup from his ex-girlfriend.

    But that wasn’t the ugliest part of their breakup. In late March, a video surfaced of Quavo and Saweetie’s altercation in an elevator. In the footage, the “Best Friend” raptress appeared to lash out at the “Congratulations” spitter and they grappled over a Call of Duty case.

    Saweetie tumbled to the floor as her then-boyfriend stood over her. Quavo eventually exited the elevator as his ex gathered herself and got up.

    Saweetie later addressed the video, saying that “this unfortunate incident happened a year ago.” She also denied that the physical altercation led to their breakup. “While we have reconciled since then and moved past this particular disagreement, there were simply too many other hurdles to overcome in our relationship and we have both since moved on,” she explained. “I kindly ask that everyone respect my privacy during this time.”

    Quavo, meanwhile, denied that he ever laid hands on his ex-girlfriend. “We had an unfortunate situation almost a year ago that we both learned and moved on from,” he told TMZ. “I haven’t physically abused Saweetie and have real gratitude for what we did share overall.”

    “On the fifth anniversary of the passing of the incomparable Prince, Paisley Park, his home and creative sanctuary, is opening its doors for fans to pay tribute and celebrate his life,” a statement reads. “Guests are also welcome to leave flowers, mementos, and other memorial items in front of the Love Symbol statue outside the Paisley Park main entrance.”

    Prince died in April 2016 from an accidental overdose of the opioid fentanyl. He was remembered by family and friends in a private memorial service taking place at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in May the same year. By August, it was announced that his famous Paisley Park home will be turned into a museum and opened for public tours starting in October.

    DMX's New Song Released Amid His Hospitalization

    Instagram

    A rap/rock collaboration between DMX and Ian Paice as well as Steve Howe has been made available for purchase while the rapper continues to fight for his life in hospital.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    DMX is on his way to enjoying a cross-over rap and rock hit as he fights for life in a New York hospital – his collaboration with Ian Paice and Steve Howe has just been released.

    “X Moves”, his rock/hip-hop hybrid that also features Parliament-Funkadelic star Bootsy Collins, dropped on Thursday (08Apr21), and Cleopatra Records boss Brian Perera, who co-produced the track, is hoping DMX gets to hear it.

    “Obviously, we are all holding our breath and praying that DMX pulls through and makes a full recovery,” he says. “As X Moves shows, he is still one of the most innovative and original hip-hop artists around. Our hearts go out to all of DMX’s family, friends and supporters.”

    The rapper was admitted to White Plains Hospital on Friday night (02Apr21) after suffering a heart attack. He is currently on life support and in a “vegetative state” while medics carry out tests on his brain.

    Reports suggest DMX has not regained any brain function since he was hospitalised. He remains in a coma.

    “We ask that you please keep Earl/DMX and us in your thoughts, wishes, and prayers as well as respect our privacy as we face these challenges,” the rapper’s family said following his hospitalization.

    Fellow celebrities were quick to offer their support and ask fans to pray for the rapper.

    “DMX prayed over me once and I could feel his anointing. I’m praying for his full recovery,” Chance the Rapper wrote on Twitter while Ja Rule added, “Prayers up for my brother DMX.”

    “Prayers for DMX and his family,” Missy Elliott wrote, and Lil’ Kim added, “Come on X plzzzz. We need you. Prayers all the way up for you bro,” while fellow rap veteran LL Cool J tweeted, “Today is 4/3/21 – it’s only right that we celebrate the talent and genius of my brother @DMX on the 4,3,2,1 song. We Love you X get well fast.”

    Taylor Swift Shares Sneak Peek of 'Breathe (Taylor's Version)' Ahead Album Re-Release

    WENN

    The ‘Love Story’ singer continues with her album preview, offering a snippet of revamped ‘Breathe’ after giving a sneak peek of the ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’ title track.

    Apr 9, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Taylor Swift is dropping reworked “Fearless” tracks right, left and centre as she prepares to re-release the album on Friday (09Apr21).

    The singer previewed the title track on “Good Morning America” on Thursday, and then offered another sneak preview of “Breathe (Taylor’s Version)”, featuring Colbie Caillat, on Tumblr.

    She also recruited Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray to help her promote Friday’s new release.

    The 18-year-old “Drivers License” hitmaker and singer-songwriter Gray appeared in a TikTok video dancing on a bed as another re-recorded track, “You Belong With Me”, played.

      See also…

    “You ok? no. fearless (taylor’s version) comes out tonight,” Gray captioned the footage. “here’s a sneak peek of one of our favorites.”

    Swift previously leaked new versions of “Love Story”, “Mr. Perfectly Fine”, a previously unheard collaboration with Maren Morris, called “You All Over Me”, and “Wildest Dreams”.

    Last weekend, Swift revealed the track listing for the Fearless bonus album, explaining it will include 27 tracks from the project’s recording sessions.

    She is in the process of re-recording her old hits to thwart the new rights owners’ efforts to make money off the originals.

    Last year, the “Shake It Off” singer was legally allowed to re-record her first five albums, which Scooter Braun gained ownership of last year following his $330 million deal with Big Machine Label Group. Braun later sold her masters to a company called Shamrock Holdings for $300 million (£259 million).

    “I’ve spoken a lot about why I’m remaking my first six albums, but the way I’ve chosen to do this will hopefully illuminate where I’m coming from,” she said. “Artists should own their own work for so many reasons, but the most screamingly obvious one is that the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work.”

    The ceremony doesn’t take place until 18 April, but on Thursday (08Apr21), event officials announced Allen as the New Male Artist of the Year while Barrett landed the female equivalent.

    The stars were both caught unawares by the surprise news, which was broken to Allen while in a studio control booth.

    “Check this out man, it came in the mail today,” a colleague said as he was handed a special video card featuring a pre-recorded clip from the prizegiving co-host, Keith Urban.

    After playing the message, Allen laughed and said, “Quit playin’, bro!” later adding, “Oh, my God.”

    Meanwhile, Barrett received the news as she sat at a table and squealed in excitement as she told a member of her team, “Oh my God! Now I know why you told me to put on my makeup and get dressed!”

    In recognition of their new titles, both winners have been given solo performance slots at the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards, joining a line-up which also includes Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, Chris Stapleton, Luke Bryan, Dan + Shay, Maren Morris, Luke Combs, and Blake Shelton, among many others.

    Morris and Stapleton lead the 2021 ACM Awards nominations with six apiece.

    Mickey Guyton will join Urban to co-host the TV celebration, which will take place from the same three Nashville, Tennessee venues as last year (20) – the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium, and Bluebird Cafe.
