    Nov 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Beyonce Knowles is going for gold at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards in 2021 after leading all artists with nine nominations, including two for Record of the Year.
    “Black Parade” and “Savage Remix” with Megan Thee Stallion has landed Beyonce a double mention in the top category, while the former will also compete for Song of the Year, as well as Best R&B Performance and Song.
    “Black Is King”, the visual accompaniment to “The Lion King: The Gift” – the superstar’s soundtrack for her 2019 Disney remake, is shortlisted for Best Music Film, and “Brown Skin Girl” is up for Best Music Video.
    Additionally, the “Savage Remix” is nominated for Best Rap Performance and Song.
    The nine new nods make Beyonce the most-nominated female artist in Grammy Awards history with 79 over the course of her career, during which she has won 24.

    Jay-Z’s career total, of which he has so far won 22, includes three mentions for 2021’s ceremony, all for helping to co-write “Black Parade” and “Savage Remix”.

    Taylor Swift Takes Her 'Folklore' Documentary to Disney Streaming Site

    Disney Plus

    The ‘Cardigan’ singer is gearing up for the release of her new documentary that will give insights into the creative process of her quarantine studio album.

    Nov 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift’s new concert documentary, “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions”, is headed to Disney+.
    The film – which was directed by Swift and filmed at Long Pond Studio, New York – was announced on Tuesday (24Nov20) and will debut on the streamer just one day later, a short trailer for the project reveals
    It sees Swift reunite with The National’s Aaron Dessner – who owns the studio – and her other co-producer, Jack Antonoff, to perform each song off “Folklore” and share the stories behind the tracks on the album.
    Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, who appears on the track “Exile”, will also make a special guest appearance.
    “It’s an album that allows you to feel your feelings, and it’s a product of isolation,” Swift tells Dessner of “Folklore” in the trailer. “This could’ve been a time where I absolutely lost my mind, and instead, I think this album was a real flotation device for both of us.”

    [embedded content]
    The film marks the first time that Swift, Dessner, and Antonoff have performed “Folklore”, which she surprise-released amid the pandemic, together.
    Recently when she received a Songwriter of the Year award from Apple Music, Taylor Swift explained how writing music helped keep her in touch with fans during an awful 2020.
    “This particular year was a year where I really feel like songwriting was the one thing that was able to keep me connected to fans that I wasn’t able to see in concert,” she said.
    “I wasn’t able to reach out my hand and touch somebody’s hand in the front row, I wasn’t able to take pictures with fans, so this, it means a lot to me,” she continued. “My songwriting, and the way that fans respond to the songs I write, and the kinda dialogue back and forth, and that kind of emotional exchange, is what I feel like has really kept me going this year (sic). And I really want to say thank you to the fans for that.”

    Trevor Noah Officially Announced as Host for 2021 Grammy Awards

    Instagram

    The Comedy Central late-night show host is officially set to take over the hosting gig from Alicia Keys for the upcoming 63rd annual Grammy Awards next year.

    Nov 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Comedian Trevor Noah will host the 2021 Grammy Awards.
    The “Daily Show” presenter was announced as the person set to take the reins for the 63rd edition of the music prizegiving on 31 January, bosses at the Recording Academy announced on Tuesday (24Nov20).
    It will be the South African funnyman’s first time hosting the ceremony, taking over from last year’s host Alicia Keys.
    In a statement, he says, “Despite the fact that I am extremely disappointed that the Grammys have refused to have me sing or be nominated for best pop album, I am thrilled to be hosting this auspicious event.”

    “I think as a one-time Grammy nominee, I am the best person to provide a shoulder to all the amazing artists who do not win on the night because I too know the pain of not winning the award! (This is a metaphorical shoulder, I’m not trying to catch Corona). See you at the 63rd Grammys!”
    The announcement of Noah as host comes shortly before the nominees are revealed on Tuesday at 12 pm ET and 9 am PT. The ceremony will air on U.S. network CBS – with details of the event and how it will be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, yet to be decided.
    Previous hosts for the Biggest Night in Music event included LL Cool J. The two-time Grammy winner served as a host for the awards show for five consecutive years, from the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012 through the 58th Grammy Awards in 2016.
    James Corden later took over the gig for the next two following years before passing the torch to Alicia Keys.

    Billie Joe Armstrong Unveils 'No Fun Mondays' Began as Something to Keep Him Busy

    WENN

    To be released on November 27, the new LP has the Green Day frontman covering classic hits such as The Bangles’ ‘Manic Monday’ as well as Tommy James and the Shondells’ ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’.

    Nov 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong’s covers collection “No Fun Mondays” is a reflection on a turbulent 2020.
    The star has been sharing weekly cover versions online of classic hits like The Bangles’ Manic Monday and Tommy James and the Shondells’ “I Think We’re Alone Now”, and will release all 14 tracks on his new LP, which is out on[] Friday, November 27.

    Speaking to British music website NME, Armstrong reveals the project began as “something to just keep me busy because I knew that the rest of the year was getting cancelled,” amid the pandemic.
    “The response was really good,” he says. “Everybody was saying that it was just nice to hear some music and feel a little bit normal. The sentiment was right.”

      See also…

    Other cover versions on the album include John Lennon’s “Give Me Some Truth” and The Clash’s “Police on My Back” which, according to the hitmaker, relate to the U.S. election and the Black Lives Matter movement.
    “‘Give Me Some Truth’ and ‘Police on My Back’ were tied to a lot of the toxic political atmosphere that’s going on right now – especially with ‘Police on My Back’ and what happened with George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests,” he muses.
    The death of African-American George Floyd in May, at the hands of Minneapolis, Minnesota police officers, sparked a new wave of Black Lives Matter protests globally.
    “It’s interesting just how many of these old songs are still relevant, probably more now today than ever,” Armstrong adds.

    Florida Georgia Line Become First Country Music Artists to Have Two Diamond-Certified Singles

    WENN/Judy Eddy

    The duo’s 2012 breakout hit ‘Cruise’ and their 2017 Bebe Rexha collaboration, ‘Meant to Be’, have set a new record for the Recording Industry Association of America, which was founded in 1952.

    Nov 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Florida Georgia Line have made country music history by becoming the first artists in the genre to land diamond certifications for two separate singles.
    Bandmates Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard celebrated the double diamond achievement on Friday, November 20 after learning their 2012 breakout hit “Cruise” and their 2017 Bebe Rexha collaboration, “Meant to Be”, had set a new record for the Recording Industry Association of America, which was founded in 1952.
    Only 43 songs in RIAA history have been awarded the certification, which recognises releases with 10 million or more sales, while “Meant to Be” is only the sixth song to hit the mega milestone in the past four years.

    Sharing their joy at the news online, Kelley said, “Thank you guys for the recognition and this ride has been a dream come true. It’s pretty crazy hearing the numbers. It’s pretty wild to think about it in that time span…”.
    “It is surreal and it is nice to take a second to let that sink in, and honestly we’re so thankful,” Hubbard added, according to The Boot. “It’s awesome to know it’s connecting. When I hear those numbers, that’s what I hear, and I just think that’s something that we can all be proud of…”.
    Florida Georgia Line will be hoping to replicate the success of their previous releases as they move into Hollywood – the pair recently signed on to help produce a feature-length country movie musical, for which the artists will also write some original songs.

    The Weeknd Gets Tongues Wagging With Bandaged Appearance at AMAs 2020

    Instagram

    The ‘Blinding Lights’ hitmaker, who comes to the awards show in a red suit with his head, jaw and nose being covered in bandages, takes home three trophies including the Favorite Album kudo.

    Nov 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The Weeknd’s bandaged appearance at Sunday’s (November 22) 2020 American Music Awards caused a stir among fans on Twitter.
    The “Starboy” hitmaker – who won the Soul/R&B prizes for Favorite Male Artist, Favorite Song for “Heartless” and Favorite Album for “After Hours” – sported a red suit and his head, jaw, and nose completely bandaged during the award ceremony.
    It’s a look he’s been developing since hit video for chart-topping hit “Blinding Lights”, but that didn’t stop bemused fans commenting on his unusual appearance on social media.
    “damn, when the weeknd said ‘i can’t feel my face when i’m with you’ he wasn’t joking,” one user wrote, referring to the singer’s hit song “Can’t Feel My Face”, while another quipped, “when the weeknd took the ‘I can’t feel my face’ part to the next lvl. (sic)”

    Fans poked fun at The Weeknd’s ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ in reaction to his unusual AMAs appearance.

      See also…

    Others were confused and concerned for the star’s wellbeing, asking, “so were all of those bandages on the weeknd’s face for his performance or????”
    “did the weeknd get in a fight or completely reconstruct his face? i cant tell,” posted another, while a further fan asked, “Guys what happened to The Weeknd’s face I’m so confused is he okay.”

    Other fans expressed concern over The Weeknd’s bandaged appearance at AMAs 2020.
    Despite the confusion, the bloody make-up is to raise awareness about drunk driving, and has been played out in the star’s recent music videos, including recent hit “In Your Eyes”.
    In an interview with Esquire, The Weeknd explained his “Blinding Lights” video is about “how you want to see someone at night, and you’re intoxicated, and you’re driving to this person and you’re just blinded by streetlights, but nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you’re so lonely.”
    “I don’t want to ever promote drunk driving, but that’s what the dark undertone is.”

    Playboi Carti Makes 'They Thought I Was Gay' Trend on Twitter After New Snippet

    Instagram

    The ‘Woke Up Like This’ rapper gets fans excited after taking his social media accounts to tease new music off his upcoming album ‘Whole Lotta Red’ and debuting a new song on Instagram Live.

    Nov 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fans of Playboi Carti are beyond excited after the “Woke Up Like This” spitter took to his social media accounts to tease new music off his upcoming album “Whole Lotta Red”. In one of his tweets on Monday, November 23, Carti revealed that he had officially turned his new project to his label.
    “album.turned in,” so Carti announced in an Instagram post that also featured some fashion-forward photos. He could be seen donning a suit while showing off some freshly-dyed red hair and new piercings.

    Additionally, he appeared to hint that he was talking about his upcoming album “Whole Lotta Red”. Fueling the speculations, the Atlanta rapper later tweeted, “OUt of MY boDY ! WHOLE TAPE.”

    Playboi Carti hinted that he finished his ‘Whole Lotta Red’ album.

    Carti then further raised the excitement as he went on Instagram Live to debut a brand new song. “I’m servin’ that base/ I got me some thots/ They thought I was gay,” he rapped over the bass-heavy tune. The particular lyrics immediately sparked conversations online and it didn’t take long for it to trend on Twitter.
    “Carti really got ‘they thought i was gay’ trending lmaoo,” a fan reacted. Someone else added excitedly, “This n***a in a mesh beater talkin bout ‘they thought I was gay,’ ” noting that it might be “Album of the year.”
    Calling him “the voice of my generation,” another user said, “Carti angsty screaming THEY THOUGHT I WAS GAY into an Instagram live wearing tight jeans and a mesh shirt that matches his dyed red braids.”
    Some fans also believed that Carti’s new album would be a huge hit. “Playboi Carti was just on live and in the song the n***a said ‘I got me sum thots they thought I was gay’ he definitely see da gay vampire jokes,” one wrote, while another person added, “carti saying THEY THOUGHT I WAS GAY could mean this is the biggest comeback of this year.”
    People also brought Iggy Azalea into the conversations. This seemingly had something to do with his tweet earlier that day that read, “i told da bit shut up! My son crying.” Upon seeing the tweet, a fan wished that Carti would somehow incorporate the Australian raptress and Onyx, the two stars’ first child together. “i wanna hear onyx crying in the background and iggy comforting him,” said the fan.
