If KATSEYE were a box of chocolates, you wouldn’t know exactly what you were going to get — but you’d probably get a little bit of everything.

Daniela would be dark chocolate with almonds, Lara would be salted caramel, Sophia would be strawberry creme, Megan would be cookies and creme, and Yoonchae? Matcha white chocolate. The members of KATSEYE recently shared their chocolate alter egos while chatting with Billboard about their new partnership with Hershey’s, their “Pinky Up” gesture, the Wildworld Tour and the sweet memories that made the collaboration feel like a full-circle moment.

The members’ picks were based on personality, with Daniela’s dark chocolate and almond combination described as “sweet, bold and energetic, with a little crunch,” while Lara’s salted caramel is “sweet with a little edge.” Sophia’s strawberry creme is “sweet, warm and bright,” Megan’s cookies and creme is “playful, surprising,” and Yoonchae’s matcha white chocolate is “sweet, fresh and a little unexpected.”

This partnership with Hershey’s has also given KATSEYE a chance to revisit some childhood memories. The members say many of them grew up eating Hershey’s around Halloween, during the holidays or simply as an after-school treat.

“So it’s pretty surreal that something we loved growing up is now part of our work,” they say.

The collaboration has also found its way into the everyday moments the members share together, whether they’re backstage on tour or coming off rehearsal. “Sharing snacks is such a natural part of our time together,” the group says. “Bringing Hershey’s into those moments feels really personal and full circle.”

The partnership also gave one of KATSEYE’s most recognizable gestures a new life. The group’s “Pinky Up” dance, which has become synonymous with KATSEYE among EYEKONS, was reimagined for the Hershey’s Creme Bar campaign.

“It was such a surreal moment because ‘Pinky Up’ has become something our fans immediately associate with KATSEYE,” the members say. “Seeing that gesture live beyond our performances and become part of the Hershey’s Creme Bar campaign felt really special.”

“At its heart, ‘Pinky Up’ is all about confidence, self-expression and choosing joy in your own way, so it fit naturally within the campaign’s message,” they say.

And when it comes to the two new Hershey’s Creme Bar flavors, the members have already picked sides — mostly.

Daniela, Megan and Yoonchae favor Affogato, while Lara and Sophia are Team Salted Caramel. The group describes Salted Caramel as the more “classic and comforting” choice, while Affogato, with espresso caramel and vanilla creme, is better for a more adventuruous mood.

The Hershey’s collaboration also comes as KATSEYE continues its Wildworld Tour, which the group views as an important step in its evolution as a live act. “The tour feels like such a big step for us because we’re getting to show even more of who KATSEYE is as performers,” the group says.

The tour also gives fans an opportunity to see how much the members have grown since they hatched from Dream Academy.

“We’ve grown so much since our debut, and we’re excited for fans to experience that growth with us onstage,” they add.

That growth hasn’t always been linear, as the girls have experienced some unexpected changes these past several months, including the hiatus of fellow members Sophia Laforteza and Manon Bannerman. The group emphasizes how important it is to communicate, check in with one another and give each other grace during difficult times.

“We’ve learned that supporting each other isn’t always about having the right answer — sometimes it’s just being there and reminding each other that we’re not alone,” they say. “We’re still growing as individuals and as a group, and we’re learning to embrace that along the way.”

This philosophy related to individuality has admittedly extended to KATSEYE’s relationships with their fans: the EYEKONS. The group mentions that the campaign’s message of finding happiness in everyday moments reflects what they hope to encourage through their music and community.

“We want people to feel like they can be completely themselves — whether that’s being loud and confident, a little weird, trying something new, or just doing what makes them happy,” KATSEYE says.

“We’re all different, and that’s what makes [our community] so special,” they say. “And it’s something we try to celebrate through our music and this partnership.”

Bruno Mars is feeling a little jealous after seeing Drake dancing with Karol G at her Houston show on Sunday night (Sept. 27), where the 6 God made a surprise guest appearance in his second home.

The Grammy-winning superstar posted a photo to Instagram on Monday (Sept. 28) staring out the window into the abyss of clouds from his private jet, vowing to win Karol G back.

“When you see Drake dancing with your latina crush in 4k @karolg @champagnepapi Respond to me asap,” he jokingly wrote. “I have to get her back! I must get her back! I will get her back!”

One fan chimed in, suggesting that the trio work it out in the studio. “I think you should solve this on a new song, the three of you together,” they wrote in Bruno’s comments.

Another said that Bruno was on the receiving end of a taste of his own medicine. “So now you know how it feels when your crush is serenading other Angel Babies right in front of you? Welcome to the club, Bruninho,” they added.

Drake sent the Reliant Stadium crowd into a frenzy when he popped out at the show to perform his “Ahí” collaboration with the Colombian singer, which reached No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Hot Latin Songs chart in August.

Drizzy stuck around to perform his chart-topping hit “Janice STFU” and 2016’s “One Dance,” the latter of which saw Karol G dancing with the OVO rapper and led to a viral clip on social media.

Bruno Mars also appeared on Karol G’s No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto album, as the duo tangled for the synth-pop “Still,” which landed at No. 41 on the Hot 100.

Bruno popped up for a guest appearance at Karol G’s Aug. 15 show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where they performed the live debut of “Still” as well as his The Romatic opener “Risk It All.”

“It expressed exactly what I was feeling and how I was feeling it; it was literally perfect for what I was going through, and I listened to it constantly. I tried to overthink it, but it was perfect—I hope it touches many people’s hearts,” Karol gushed about collaborating with Bruno on the all-English song. “Thank you, Bruno Mars, for the magic in this song and for feeling it the way I did. You’re incredible.”

Karol G’s No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto arrived on Aug. 7 and debuted inside the Billboard 200’s top 10 (No. 8).

Nicole Scherzinger is not one to let a preshow accident affect her performance. Even if that accident causes serious burns on her body just before showtime. On Sunday (Sept. 27), the singer posted pics of the burns and blisters on one of her legs she said she suffered after boiling water was spilled on her just moments before the Pussycat Dolls were slated to take the stage at PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany, on Saturday (Sept. 26).

According to People, in a since-expired Instagram Story, Scherzinger, 48, shared the image of her leg with burn marks and blisters along with the caption, “Nothing like boiling water falling on your leg an hour before your set — but the show must go on. Thanks Düsseldorf for keeping me going. See you soon Amsterdam.”

Tony-winner Scherzinger is currently on the PCD Forever reunion world tour with the group, which returned as a trio earlier this year with the single “Club Song.” Along with Scherzinger, the PSD lineup on the road includes Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts, with former members Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton not part of this revival.

Back in May, the group canceled all but one of their planned North American PCD Forever tour dates, pulling all their arena and amphitheater stops except for an appearance at the WeHo Festival in Los Angeles on June 6, in what the group called a “difficult and heartbreaking decision.” At the time, the group gave no official reason for the cancellation of the dates. The PCD Forever tour, the group’s first outing since they broke up in 2010, was slated to kick off in Palm Desert, Calif. on June 5.

Founding members Scherzinger, Wyatt and Roberts revived PCD earlier this year following a brief reunion as a quintet in 2019. The Dolls launched in 2005 behind the group’s PCD debut album, which featured the top 5 Billboard Hot 100 anthems “Don’t Cha” (No. 2 peak) feat. Busta Rhymes and the Snoop Dogg-assisted “Buttons” (No. 3 peak).

The next scheduled date on the tour is on Tuesday (Sept. 29) at Utilita Arena in Birmingham, U.K.

Lana Del Rey is marking two years of marriage to Jeremy Dufrene with a look back at their wedding day.

The singer shared a series of previously unseen photos and videos from the couple’s September 2024 wedding in Louisiana, including footage of the pair exchanging a kiss during the ceremony and images of Del Rey in her wedding dress alongside Dufrene.

“Hi husband, happy second anniversary… Thank you for making everywhere I’ve ever lived feel like home again,” Del Rey wrote in the caption. “And also to our little family … literally everything we do is the best. Xo.”

The carousel also included more casual moments from their life together, including clips of the pair driving, Dufrene fixing a chandelier and a close-up of Del Rey’s engagement ring.

Dufrene also celebrated the anniversary on social media, writing, “Happy Anniversary to the most Beautiful and Precious lil wife. I love you so much.” His post included additional images from the couple’s wedding and life together.

Del Rey and Dufrene, a Louisiana alligator tour guide, first met in 2019, though the pair did not confirm their relationship until August 2024, when they appeared together at the Reading and Leeds festivals. They married the following month.

Their relationship has also found its way into Del Rey’s music. Earlier this year, she released “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” a song co-written with Dufrene and produced by Jack Antonoff. The track is expected to appear on her forthcoming album Stove.

Del Rey, 41, remains one of the most influential artists of her generation. Her 2012 breakthrough Born to Die peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and in 2025 became the longest-charting album by a female artist in the chart’s history, powered by the multi-platinum “Summertime Sadness” and “Video Games.” She has since scored two No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 with Lust for Life (2017) and, earlier in her career, Ultraviolence (2014), and earned wide acclaim for 2019’s Norman F—ing Rockwell! She is currently working toward a new album.

Todd Rundgren has called Taylor Swift the “apotheosis of mediocrity” and suggested she “ruined music” in a new interview.

Speaking to Vulture, the veteran producer was asked which current artist he would spoof if he made a parody album, a nod to his work on Meat Loaf’s 1977 album Bat Out of Hell, which he has said he intended partly as a Bruce Springsteen send-up.

“Taylor Swift, of course. There’s an argument to be made that she ruined music,” he said. “It’s just that, to me, Taylor Swift is the apotheosis of mediocrity.”

He went further later in the interview. “Taylor Swift doesn’t do anything particularly great except grow hair,” he said. “She’s not a great singer. She’s not a great songwriter. She’s not a great dancer.”

Rundgren praised Lady Gaga as a “real musician” and “classically trained piano player,” and floated a theory that female pop stars rose to dominance after young men shifted their spending to video games in the 1990s. It isn’t the first time he’s criticized Swift — he made similar comments on Rick Rubin’s Broken Record podcast in 2022.

Swift hasn’t responded. When The Life of a Showgirl drew mixed reactions on its release last year, she addressed the criticism on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show.

“I have a lot of respect for people’s subjective opinions on art. I’m not the art police,” she said. “Everybody is allowed to feel exactly how they want.”

The comments arrive days after Swift released The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, an expanded edition of her 2025 album featuring four new tracks, including “Patient Zero.” Swift premiered the song’s music video during Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards 2026.

The deluxe version of Swift’s 12th studio album, out now, also features the newly recorded song “Babylon,” “Pink Clouding” and “Cleveland!” The original album spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and opened with a record-breaking 4.002 million equivalent album units in the United States in its first week.

“Danceteria Afterhours,” which has Madonna teaming up with Charli xcx, tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (Sept. 25) on Billboard, choosing the club-ready collab as their favorite new music.

The ‘afterhours’ mix of Madonna’s “Danceteria,” a track that dropped this week following the July release of her Confessions II album, closed down the poll with 63% of the vote on Sunday — so, yeah, Billboard readers “wanna talk about Madonna and Charli.” It topped new releases from Taylor Swift, Tinashe, Maren Morris with Michelle Branch and more.

“Danceteria Afterhours” lines up two artists’ origin stories: the new spin adds verses from Charli to Madonna’s original recording for Confessions II, swirling her club history in London and L.A. in with Madonna’s New York City lore.

“I’m sweet fifteen in a weird outfit/ Got invited to perform at this party through Myspace/ First time ever at a party in London/ I’m kinda nervous, kinda scared/ On a makeshift stage playing songs from my iPod,” Charli recounts of her club kid days circa 2007; later, she shifts ahead to 2015: “Linked up with A. G. and SOPHIE/ Took a flight to L.A./ Where PC Music did Pop City/ This new place has a lot of new things/ Different DJs, flavoured cocaine/ Found myself through the songs I wrote/ And the songs I wrote are how we start the party.”

Confessions II launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in July, marking the star’s first No. 1 LP of the 2020s. Charli xcx’s Music, Fashion, Film debuted at No. 3 on the chart in August.

Trailing behind “Danceteria Afterhours” on Billboard‘s poll this week are Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore release (a version of the Showgirl album with four bonus tracks, led by the single “Patient Zero”), with 27% of the vote. Tinashe’s new Popstar album follows, with almost 3% of the vote.

Rihanna is giving fans another glimpse into life with her youngest child.

The 38-year-old Fenty mogul and mother of three took to Instagram on Saturday (Sept. 26) to share a series of adorable photos and videos featuring her 1-year-old daughter with A$AP Rocky, Rocki Irish Mayers.

The sweet gallery opens with Rocki tugging at a large wig placed on her head as Rihanna can be heard laughing in the background. In another photo, the toddler sports pink hair curlers, similar to those her dad is often seen wearing.

In one video, Rihanna takes a Louis Vuitton bag away from Rocki, prompting the toddler to cry before her mom gives it back. And in another clip, Rocki wears a generous amount of Fenty Beauty blush alongside her mom.

“Who let me have a daughter, bro?” Rihanna captioned the post.

The “We Found Love” singer’s partner, A$AP Rocky, took to the comments to show some love to his baby girl. “MY FATTY BUMS,” the rapper wrote alongside a red heart emoji.

Rihanna welcomed her third child on Sept. 13, 2025, with A$AP Rocky, with whom she also shares sons RZA and Riot Rose. The couple announced less than two weeks later on Instagram that Rocki had arrived.

Before Rocki’s arrival, Rihanna revealed she was expecting again by debuting her baby bump on the 2025 Met Gala red carpet. The couple kept the baby’s sex under wraps ahead of the birth, though they were open about hoping for a girl, with Rocky telling Elle in 2024 that they were “praying for a girl.”

Rocki made her official entry into the modeling world in April, joining her famous mom on the cover of W Magazine at just 7 months old. “She outshined me,” the singer joked at the time. “Last shoot we’ll ever do together. Who’s the high-fashion baby?”

Saturday Night Live UK is taking another jab at Ed Sheeran amid the controversy surrounding his Loop Tour.

During her opening monologue on the Sept. 26 episode of the British spinoff, Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg reflected on the end of her popular YouTube interview series, which she recently announced would conclude after more than 12 years.

On Chicken Shop Date, the English comedian sits down with celebrities for awkward, deadpan dates at chicken shops. The series has featured some of music’s biggest stars, including Paul McCartney, Jack Harlow, Charli xcx, Rosalía and Yungblud.

“I’m incredibly privileged to have done so many interviews with people like Idris Elba, Cher, and even a world-famous red-headed puppet with a hand up his a— telling him what to say,” Dimoldenberg told the audience as a photo of her alongside Sesame Street‘s Elmo appeared on screen.

She then gestured for a different photo, saying, “No, the other one,” as an image of her alongside Sheeran flashed on the screen.

The joke refers to Sheeran’s appearance on Chicken Shop Date in November 2021, when Dimoldenberg met the singer at Sam’s Chicken in London.

The SNL UK jab comes as Sheeran’s Loop Tour has faced controversy following the removal of Macklemore from the U.S. leg after the rapper made “Free Palestine” remarks during his opening set in early September. Macklemore was originally scheduled to open Sheeran’s U.S. shows but was removed from the tour following his two performances at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Sept. 4 and 5, where he chanted “Free Palestine” and performed his politically charged protest track “Hind’s Hall.”

SNL UK had already poked fun at Sheeran on Sept. 19 episode, when cast member Annabel Marlow portrayed the singer-songwriter as a “fence-sitter” caught between humans and AI in a sketch featuring King Charles and a rogue AI assistant modeled after Princess Diana.

In the aftermath, Sheeran performed two shows in Philadelphia without any opening acts, telling the crowd that he wanted his concerts to focus on unity and humanity rather than politics.

Macklemore has since announced a Free Palestine Tour, with shows scheduled for Dublin on Oct. 26, Paris on Oct. 29 and London on Oct. 30. Proceeds from the concerts will benefit organizations providing humanitarian and other support for Palestinians.

KATSEYE made their Saturday Night Live debut on Saturday (Sept. 26), performing two songs from their latest EP Wild on the NBC sketch series.

The global girl group delivered “Animal” and “Hootie Frutti,” both from the five-track EP released in August. Four of the group’s six members performed, as Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza are currently on hiatus; both stepped back citing their mental health. Wild also features the singles “Pinky Up,” “Bel Air” and “That Way.”

The appearance marked another mainstream U.S. television milestone for the group, following an August performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and a slot on the Today summer concert series.

The SNL debut caps a rapid ascent for KATSEYE, who formed just two years ago through the reality competition series Dream Academy — a joint venture between K-pop powerhouse HYBE and Universal Music Group’s Geffen Records designed to build a globally sourced girl group. The six-member lineup, drawn from across the U.S. and around the world, released their debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) in 2024 before breaking through in a major way the following year.

That breakthrough came with their 2025 second EP Beautiful Chaos, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 — their first top 10 — and spent more than a year on the chart. Its lead single “Gnarly” became the group’s first Hot 100 entry, while the Latin-pop follow-up “Gabriela” climbed to No. 21, still their highest-charting single to date. The run earned KATSEYE nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 68th annual Grammy Awards.

Wild pushed them to a new commercial peak. Released in August, the EP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 170,000 first-week units — the group’s first chart-topper and the biggest sales week for an all-female group in years. Its lead single “Animal,” co-written by Ed Sheeran, debuted at No. 24 on the Hot 100, a career high and the fifth consecutive solo single the group has sent onto the chart, following “Gnarly,” “Gabriela,” “Internet Girl” and “Pinky Up.” With more than 30 million monthly Spotify listeners at points this year, KATSEYE have become one of the most commercially successful girl groups in the world.

The group is currently on their 31-date Wildworld Tour, which opened in Europe earlier this month and heads to North America in October, beginning in Miami and working north into Canada before moving west and wrapping in Mexico City in late November.
