      Miranda Lambert could not help but get emotional while performing at her first concert since the COVID-19 pandemic. When taking the stage at Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, Texas, the country singer broke down in tears.

      The 37-year-old shared on TikTok a video of herself crying on stage while singing “The House That Built Me” in front of a socially-distanced audience at the Thursday, April 22 concert. Alongside the footage, she wrote, “First show back in over a year. I missed y’all so much.”

      Miranda told the crowd, per Entertainment Tonight, “No matter what I’ve ever done in my career and what I’m still gonna do, somehow I still feel most at home on a barstool under a neon sign,” She added, “I walked in here and I took a little tour around, and I just felt so at home. I remembered why I do this and why I missed y’all’s faces so damn much.”

      The “Mama’s Broken Heart” songstress performed at the concert from Thursday to Saturday, April 24. She is set to take the stage again on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1.

      Miranda, who will release “The Marfa Tapes” album in May along with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall, revealed that she took a break from music in the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. “The first six months of 2020, I didn’t write anything. I didn’t do anything,” she told Entertainment Weekly for its June issue. “I painted and cooked. Like everyone else, I ate too much and tried out all the wine and found all the places we had it hidden.”

      “After about six months, I started to miss it so much I was like, ‘I need to create. I don’t feel like myself.’ That’s where Marfa came in. It was my burst of creativity,” the ex-wife of Blake Shelton added. “When you slow down that much, you’re like, ‘Wow. I was really going 100 miles an hour, not only physically but mentally.’ It was nice to just check out.”

      AceShowbiz –
      Gwen Stefani is back with a new music video for her latest single “Slow Clap”. In the visuals, the fiancee of Blake Shelton can be seen riding her white scooter to an elementary school where she helps a young man to express his feelings to his crush.

      Donning a bomber jacket with a cupid drawn on the back, Gwen sings her heart out while walking down the school hallway. She guides the young boy to show off his dancing skills in front of his schoolmates and his crush. However, they laugh at him instead of being impressed. That, however, doesn’t stop him from trying to get better with his moves.

      After practicing hard, he eventually asks his crush to meet him at the field. The two later dance to the song. They are not the only ones having a blast with the song though as their teacher is also seen dancing in the hallway.

      “Clap, clap/ Clap, clap, clap, clap/ Clap de-clap de-clap clap/ Slow clap/ Walk into the room like a boss (slow clap)/ Putting on a little extra sauce,” Gwen sings on the energetic track. “Clap, clap/ Clap, clap, clap, clap/ Clap de-clap de-clap clap/ Slow clap/ Side stepping people down the hall (slow clap)/ Winter, Spring or Summer or the Fall.”

      Prior to this, Gwen unveiled another version of music video for “Slow Clap”. Teaming up with raptress Saweetie for the remix version of the song, the music video saw the pair taking over a high school.

      Of the song which she co-wrote along with Ross Golan and producer Luke Niccoli, the No Doubt singer said in an interview with “Good Morning America”, “Generally, I just wanted to make an album that was full of joy and hope. I think the one line in [‘Slow Clap’] is, ‘Are you rooting for me like I’m rooting for you?’ I feel like that was just kind of where I was at in that moment when I wrote the song.”

      “I’m still writing,” she continued. “I think that’s what’s been really fun about this project, is to be able to drop singles and actually still be working on new music as I’m doing it. That’s new for me, so that’s kind of what I’m doing right now, just in the studio writing and being creative.”

      Gushing over Ross, Gwen said, “Ross is really good at getting in your head and investigating, and he has the right tone for me right now. I always feel like my songs have a bit of a kitschy, fun, silly side to them lyrically, even if I’m talking about something serious, and he’s really good at that as well.”

      AceShowbiz –
      Bon Jovi have lined up a drive-in experience to welcome fans back to real live music next month (May 2021).

      The group has teamed up with Encore Live for the production company’s Encore Drive-In Nights 2021 concert series, and Jon Bon Jovi and his bandmates will perform a show that will be beamed to drive-in and outdoor theaters across the world.

      Bon Jovi’s show on 22 May follows the Encore Drive-In Nights 2020 series, which featured shows hosted by Metallica, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Kane Brown.

      “Bon Jovi is a global icon and we’re so happy that the band will be launching our 2021 concert season!” Encore Drive-In Nights CEO Walter Kinzie said in a press release. “The pandemic has taught us that there are new avenues for live entertainment and this model is one of the safest and most innovative options for world-class, fun events for the whole family.

      “There are millions of fans who don’t usually attend live shows, whether it’s because they live far away from the big touring arenas or because of the cost. Artists can now connect with these fans in a completely new way.”

      Prior to this, the group honored George Floyd by turning his life into a new song, titled “American Reckoning”. “God damn those eight long minutes/Laying face down in cuff on the ground/ Bystanders pleaded for mercy/ As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd,” Jon Bon Jovi sings. “When did a judge and jury/Become a badge and a knee on these streets?”
      He also questions the state of America’s soul as he belts the notes, “America’s on fire/ There’s protests in the streets/ Her conscience has been looted/ And her soul is under siege/ Another mother’s crying as history repeats/ I can’t breathe.”

      Bob Dylan Once Keen on Covering Foo Fighters' 'Everlong', Dave Grohl Unveils

      In a new magazine interview, the Foo Fighters frontman recalls the conversation he had with the ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ hitmaker when he and his band were invited to open for the latter’s 2008 tour.

      Apr 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Folk rock icon Bob Dylan was once eager to record a cover version of Foo Fighters hit “Everlong”.

      Dave Grohl and his bandmates were invited to open for the “Like a Rolling Stone” hitmaker on his 2008 tour, and the frontman recalls being terrified when he was summoned to meet with the legendary singer, only for Dylan to heap praise on the group and its music.

      Speaking to Uncut magazine, Grohl said, “All I could see was his silhouette, he had a black hooded sweatshirt pulled up over his head, a black leather jacket, black jeans and black boots on. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.”

      “I walked up to him and said, ‘Hey Bob, how’re you doing?’ He’s like, ‘Hey man, how’s it going?’ We talked for a little bit and he thanked us for being on the tour and then he said, ‘Man, what’s that song you guys got?’ ” before reciting a line from the 1997 classic.

      “I said, ‘Oh, that’s Everlong.’ He said, ‘That’s a great song man, I should do that song,’ ” Grohl remembered. “I was like, ‘You know, I think you’ve got enough good songs to hold you over.’ ”

        See also…

      The brief meeting remains one of the highlights of former Nirvana drummer Grohl’s career.

      “Honestly, it was one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life,” he shared. “It was f**king terrifying – but he couldn’t have been nicer.”

      Producer Arthur Baker also recalled hearing Dylan sing a surprising choice of cover during some downtime in the studio when they were working on his 1985 release, “Empire Burlesque”.

      He said, “I was mixing something one night and hearing something really weird beneath it. So I turned the volume down quickly and it was Bob singing Like a Virgin on acoustic guitar.”

      “He was figuring out how to play Madonna. We’d already finished the record and he’d say to me, ‘I’d like to make a record like Prince [or] Madonna. Can we do that?’ He was a joker. He liked to f**k with me, y’know?”

      AJ Tracey Vows to Retire as Soon as People Are Not Feeling Him Anymore

      by

      Instagram

      Speaking about his future in the industry, the ‘West Ten’ hitmaker expresses his hope to emulate 50 Cent and drop tunes occasionally rather than continue to ‘force’ himself to put out music.

      Apr 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Rapper AJ Tracey has vowed to retire “gracefully” when people aren’t “feeling” him any more.

      The “West Ten” hitmaker would like to emulate 50 Cent and drop tunes occasionally rather than continue to “force” himself to put out music when he’s reached his “shelf life.”

      Speaking to The Agenda Radio on Apple Music 1, AJ said, “Boy, I’ll be honest with you, I’ll retire as soon as everyone’s not feeling me no more.”

      “I’m gracefully bowing out, there’s no more forcing it, old man thing. I’ll just bow. 100 percent there’s a shelf life. We ain’t gotta say no names.”

        See also…

      “You’ve heard rappers, and you’re just like, ‘Bro, you’re like, however old you are, wearing Nike Tech like the youth dem. And on that little electric scooter, you are trying to force it. And it’s not that honestly, bro, it’s not that.’ ”

      He added, “You can hold me to that. I’m never going to be that guy, never. I’m going to do the 50 Cent thing. If I feel like putting out something random, I’ll just put something out random, but I’m not going to force the thing at all [sic].”

      In another interview, Tracey shared his thought on performing live again after COVID-19 put a halt to shows. “Honestly, not even to sound like a hippie, but just sharing moments with the fans, man. Because making music and you’re disconnected from everyone in life, just over the internet, it’s not the same is it? It’s just not the same,” he shared.

      “I just want to go out there, get the energy from the fans, give it back. And everyone who knows me like, yeah, cool, the studio thing is great,” he added. “The radio, I’m doing quite well. But my shows is where I can really show off and impress people, you know what I’m saying? I’ll turn it mad and I just haven’t been able to do that for a long time. So I’m really looking forward to getting back on stage.”

      Artist of the Week: Jimmie Allen

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Mercury Lane’ crooner has shattered barriers in the country music industry as he scores two consecutive No. 1 singles on Billboard Country Airplay chart.

      Apr 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Jimmie Allen continued to make history in the country music industry. The 34-year-old artist celebrated more milestones this year after becoming the first black musician to have his debut single sit at the first position on Billboard Country Airplay following the release of his single “Best Shot” in 2018.

      He’s back at the summit with a follow-up song “Make Me Want To”. It climbed up to the top spot after more than a year on the chart. The 58-week trek to No. 1 became the longest climb to the top in the history of the Country Airplay chart. The feat also made him the first black artist to have two consecutive chart toppers on country radio.

      ” ‘Make Me Want To’ is really just about a song about someone having feelings, catching ’em fast and not being ashamed to say [so],” Allen explained in an interview with ABC Radio. “I think being vulnerable is cool. And, you know, when you have feelings for someone else, or when you want to be with them, tell ’em. That’s really what the song is.”

        See also…

      Meanwhile, the music video was inspired by his love for Disney, Harry Potter, and the classic love story “The Notebook. “I feel like authenticity is celebrated today more than ever, so with this video, I really wanted to highlight my quirky side,” so he told CMT.

      Both “Make Me Want To” and “Best Shot” have been certified platinum for selling over a million units. The tracks are taken from Allen’s first studio album “Mercury Lane” which came out in 2018.

      If his chart history is any indication, he is expected to make another wave as a new song called “This Is Us”, his collaboration with Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter Noah Cyrus, has been released. The track was recorded for his mini album “Bettie James” which came out last year.

      Besides dominating the country music charts, Jimmie Allen was critically lauded at notable awards show. He was nominated for New Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards last year and won New Male Artist of the Year this year at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards.

      Faith Evans' Appalling Performance at DMX's Funeral Service Sparks Twitter Backlash

      by

      BET

      Social media users are left impressed by the ‘All Night Long’ singer’s off-key performance and appearance during the virtual event, while others are concerned for her.

      Apr 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Faith Evans’ attempt to honor DMX at his “Homegoing Celebration” has earned negative responses from viewers and fans alike. The R&B veteran, who opened her set with a story of how “I Miss You”, her collaboration with the late rapper from 2001’s “The Great Depression”, came together, left social media users appalled with her off-key performance and dull appearance during the virtual event on Sunday, April 25.

      Those critics took to Twitter to sound off their disappointment, with one writing, “Faith Evans and em could’ve just sent some flowers to the fune instead of singing dry faced, shoeless and off key tearing up everybody’s songs in this damn video…”

      “I’m just going to assume that Faith Evans didn’t know she was performing virtually at DMX’s funeral today. The hair,the vocals, white socks, water bottles all over the floor,etc,” another tweeted. A third one remarked, “Faith Evans she’s flying HIGH right now!!”

      For some others, Evans’ lackluster performance seemed to raise a flag. “Watching Faith Evans looking and sounding as bad as she did…praying for her because…..,” one person reacted after watching the memorial service. Another similarly expressed concern as imploring, “So, for those of y’all that know Faith Evans personally and have her contact information, please reach out and just check in! That’s all I’m gonna say….”

        See also…

      Her lackluster performance aside, Evans vividly described her memory of DMX. “I remember the first time I met Earl, he came to my hotel room at 3 A.M.,” she shared. “The front desk called me, and he took the phone from them like, ‘Just tell her it’s DMX!’ And how could I say no to him coming upstairs? It’s DMX wanting to talk to me, so it had to be important. And he came upstairs and told me that he wanted to do this song with me dedicated to his grandmother…”

      The “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker went on speaking of DMX’s faith in God. She recalled, “…after he told me, we prayed together, when I went to the studio to record, we prayed together, at the video shoot, we prayed together, and every time I saw him thereafter, we prayed together. There’s a video going around of him praying on the Bad Boy tour. That day, it was my turn to pray, I walked out of my dressing room and saw X, and he said, ‘Faith, you’re an angel in my life! … Cause we always pray together!’ ”

      DMX’s life was previously celebrated at a special memorial at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Nas, Eve and Swizz Beatz were among celebrities who paid their final respect to the late hip-hop icon at the Celebration of Life event, which took place on Saturday.

      Joe Alwyn Collects His First Grammy for Contribution to Taylor Swift's 'Folklore'

      by

      WENN

      ‘The Favourite’ actor has his name added to the winners’ list on the Grammys website after his singer girlfriend become the first female artist in history to win the Album of the Year title three times.

      Apr 26, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      British actor Joe Alwyn has officially been recognized as a 2021 Grammy Award winner after contributing to his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s “Folklore”, which was crowned Album of the Year.

      “The Favourite” star had originally been credited on Swift’s liner notes under the pseudonym William Bowery, helping to pen the tracks “Exile” and “Betty”, which he also co-produced, alongside four other songs on the 2020 release.

      “Folklore” claimed the top honor at music’s big night last month (March 21), making Swift the first female artist in history to win the accolade three times.

      She shared the prize with producers Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, but now eagle-eyed fans have noticed Alwyn’s name has also been added to the winners’ list on the Grammys website, meaning he would have received his very own award, reports People.com.

      The stars, who have been careful to keep much of their romance under wraps, have yet to comment on the news, but Swift gave her man a special shout-out during her acceptance speech at the prestigious event.

      “Joe is the first person that I play every single song that I write, and I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine,” she smiled.

      The couple has been dating since 2016.

      Swift has also confirmed that Alwyn used the pseudonym William Bowery when talking to Dessner and Antonoff in Disney+ film, “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions”. She first stated, “There’s been a lot of discussion about William Bowery and his identity. He’s not a real person.”

      The 31-year-old continued explaining, “William Bowery is Joe, as we know.” She went on to gush, “And Joe, Joe plays piano beautifully, and he’s always just playing and making things up and kind of creating things.”
