Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton, the dynamic goddaughter-godmother duo, delivered a memorable night of music, fashion, and fun during the 2023 edition of Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party on NBC. Known for their bold styles and extraordinary talent, the pair co-hosted the Miami-based event, captivating audiences with their dazzling performances and eye-catching ensembles.

The evening was packed with star-studded appearances from artists like Sia, Latto, Rae Sremmurd, and Fletcher, but it was Cyrus and Parton who truly owned the stage. Their wardrobe choices, crafted for each stunning performance, were as unforgettable as their powerful medleys. From their striking black-and-pink outfits for a rendition of Jolene to their heartfelt mashup of I Will Always Love You and Wrecking Ball, the duo exuded sophistication and flair.

One standout moment of the night was their performance of Joan Jett’s iconic rock anthem I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll. Dressed in matching leopard-print-themed outfits,...

Peacock’s comedy Laid, starring Stephanie Hsu, Zosia Mamet, Michael Angarano, Tommy Martinez, Andre Hyland, Ryan Pinkston and more, explores what would happen if a mysterious curse fell upon one’s ex romantic partners.

When it comes to the grand slam of Egot awards, the Grammys are always the most unpredictable. This year is no different, with several races too close to call. Here are the four toughest bets.

SEEWill Shaboozey’s record run on Billboard charts lead to Grammys like it did for ‘Old Town Road’?

Best Pop Vocal Album

You could make a case for each of the nominees here. Ariana Grande would seem to be the odd person out because her “Eternal Sunshine” is the only contender in this category that missed a nod for Album of the Year, but all the “Wicked” hype and its corresponding Oscar campaign could generate more buzz for Grande as an artist. Lady Gaga’s surprise Best Pop Solo Performance win in 2019 for “Joanne,” for example, happened during her big awards push for “A Star Is Born.”

Then there’s Taylor Swift, whose “The Tortured...

Fans know Latto for her “Big Energy,” but the 24-year-old is also building her legacy as a philanthropist. The young rapper has created a tradition for her hometown involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. Latto always manages to make it chic — even when she’s giving back. See her Christmas look and how she donated over $500,000 worth of gifts to her special city.

Latto hasn’t forgotten where she came from Latto at her fourth annual ‘Christmas In Clayco’ event on December 9, 2024 | Prince Williams/WireImage

In 2021, Latto founded her nonprofit, the Win Some Give Some Foundation, “to empower at-risk young women by providing them resources and support to achieve a lifetime of success.” One of her biggest events became the Latto 4 The Ladies & Babies Christmas party. She eventually renamed it the annual Christmas in Clayton event. Three years later, Latto returned to Clayton County to host the party, partnering with District 1 Commissioner Dr.

Controversy and defamatory accusations appeared online over the winner of Netflix's Rhythm + Flow Season 2.

Rhythm + Flow marks Netflix's first musical competition series. It follows a group of rap artists who compete in a series of challenges for a $250,000 grand prize. Akin to other competition series like So You Think You Can Dance, the series is known for bringing plenty of drama along with its dance antics.

The series premiered on Netflix in 2019 behind a judging panel featuring Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and T.I. and returned in 2024 after various production delays. Season 2 began on November 20 with a new trio of judges: DJ Khaled, Ludacris, and Latto.

And who better to guide the contestants than three of the biggest names in hip-hop today? DJ Khaled, Ludacris, and Latto will serve as the judges for Season 2, coming to Netflix on Nov. 20. Based in Atlanta, a hotbed of the American hip-hop scene, the trio of hitmakers will assess a talented group of young and hungry artists competing for a grand prize of $250,000 and the title of hip-hop’s newest star.

But that’s not all. Rhythm + Flow is also assembling a crew of legendary music moguls and industry icons to lend their expertise, including the one and only Eminem. He’ll join the series as a special guest judge from a surprise location during one of the competition’s high-stakes battles.

Latto made the L.A. stop of her Honey Sweet Iced Tea tour a little extra dazzling. During Sunday’s show at YouTube Theater, the rap star welcomed a pregnant Flo Milli onstage for a rendition of “Never Lose Me” and Teezo Touchdown for a duet of “Prized Possession.”

Halfway through the show, Latto began to rap the lyrics about a relationship with trust issues before welcoming Teezo — dressed in a brown all-leather outfit and glasses — onstage with his signature bouquet-decorated microphone. “What’s the point of us both sharin’ our location?...

About ‘Rhythm + Flow...

Who got next? That’s for Rhythm + Flow to decide, as the Season 2 contestants must prove they have what it takes to become rap’s next superstar.

Of course, they’ll have to win over the panel of judges — DJ Khaled, Latto, and Ludacris — who are searching for a sound unlike anything that’s come before. But just picking up the mic won’t cut it, as the trio of hip-hop legends are laser-focused on the bars and the person spitting them. “I’m looking for the full package,” Latto says during auditions. “I want somebody who can survive in this new generation.”

After the cutthroat audition rounds, 22 artists from all over the nation are moving forward in hopes of claiming the $250,000 grand prize. And while each contestant has their own unique story, they also represent the deep roots of hip-hop in this country — and some of its regional...

Latto and Drake linked up in Toronto Thursday night for a surprise performance. Big Mama was performing at History, the venue Drake co-owns in Canada, when Champagne Papi suddenly emerged from the VIP balcony to perform “Housekeeping Knows” with Latto.

The song’s lyrics were fitting to her visit to the Canadian city, since they hear Drake rap, “Southside girls, they know how to close a deal/Up in the six, up, up in the six/Up in the six, they do whatever they feel.”

The 2025 Grammy nominations were announced Friday, and with a whopping 94 categories in the show, The Hollywood Reporter is breaking down what you need to know about — including the snubs, the surprises and Beyoncé continuing to make history.

The Snubs

Ariana Grande scored three nominations but was shut out of the top three awards as well as best pop solo performance. Post Malone missed out on album of the year, and though he’s nominated for record and song of the year, it’s for his guest appearance on Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight,” not for his own No. 1 hit, “I Need Some Help” with Morgan Wallen.

And speaking of Swift — she scored six nominations but how isn’t her groundbreaking concert movie, The Eras Tour, in competition for best music film? And “Fortnight” didn’t make the cut for best pop duo/group performance — instead Swift is nominated there for her...

The 2025 Grammy race for Best Album is a real nail-biter, with countless artists from every genre vying for one of the eight nomination slots.

I’m looking forward to showing another side of my personality and having compelling conversations with some of the world’s most influential leaders and entertainers.

At the 2024 Grammys, best new artist winner Victoria Monét’s nomination for record of the year made her the only breakthrough contender to compete in a Big 3 category (song, record and album of the year). This year, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey and Benson Boone also will comfortably stand proudly alongside veterans who’ve come before. Not only are they poised to earn noms for best new artist, they’re in contention for major awards — where nominees likely will include Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. Roan and Carpenter are even on track to score bids for the top prize: album of the year. It’s reminiscent of 2020, when new artist contenders included Lizzo, Lil Nas X and winner Eilish, who also won album, song and record of the year. Could Chappell do the same? THR breaks down the newcomers — or somewhat new — gunning for the 2025 best new artist Grammy.

Chappell Roan...

With just under four months left in 2024, there have already been more hip-hop songs to top Billboard‘s Hot 100 Songs (and as many rap albums on the 200 albums chart) than in all of 2023, the sign of a resurgent year for the most popular genre in the country.

And while younger artists like Ice Spice and Latto have generated huge buzz, it’s the older rappers who carried the genre’s chart dominance in the 2010s (or earlier) that are mainly responsible for the chart-toppers this year.

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards are promising to be a great show, with confirmed performers like Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G all slated for the September 11 ceremony. But the biggest part of the show are the awards themselves, with many close races that will keep us on the edge of our seats until the envelopes are opened. Let’s review four general categories not tied to specific genres.

Best Collaboration

This category seems to be a two-horse race between Taylor Swift and Post Malone’s “Fortnight” and Jungkook and Latto’s “Seven.” The former has the advantage of Swift being the most widely known entertainer in the world. However, Jungkook is from the boy band BTS, and one thing everyone knows about BTS is that their fan base is one of the biggest and strongest in the music industry.

Drake has surprise released a trio of new songs through his burner Instagram account @plottttwistttttt on Friday, weeks after he leaked three other songs earlier this month.

The new songs are titled ““Circadian Rhythm,” “Sod,” and “No Face,” the latter of which features Playboi Carti. “Sod” appears to be the same song as “Supersoak,” the track that Lil Yachty had originally leaked to Twitch streamer Kai Cenat last month. Yachty said that there were sample clearance issues on the track as creator Mr. Hotspot had religious objections over the sample use.

Despite being part of one of the biggest music groups in the world, Jung Kook still battles with confidence as a performer. In the trailer for his upcoming documentary, Jung Kook: I Am Still, the BTS member struggles with the pressure of performing as a solo artist.

“I’m suddenly nervous,” Jung Kook said in the trailer before a show. “I’ll do my best guys.”

The minute-long trailer, released Wednesday, features Jung Kook’s high-energy stage performances, meticulous dance rehearsals, and behind-the-scenes studio recordings as he comes to terms with his solo career.

Jung Kook of the K-pop group BTS is set to release a new documentary called “Jung Kook: I Am Still” — said to be a video diary of the singer’s “eight-month journey” to his solo debut — in theaters across the world on Sept. 18.

The film is directed by Junsoo Park, who has directed a majority of the many films dedicated to BTS and its eight members, along with other films coming out of Big Hit Music, BTS’ South Korean record label. “Jung Kook: I Am Still” will premiere on Sept. 18, with limited screenings worldwide in over 120 countries and regions.

At the time of this article’s publication, a complete list of those cities has not yet been released. Tickets for the showings will go on sale August 21.

In a press release, Big Hit describes the documentary as beginning around the time Jung Kook released “Seven,” a song featuring the American rapper Latto,...

Latto is set to hit the road this fall on a headlining tour in support of her new album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea.

The 22-city run will kick off Oct. 25 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, with subsequent stops in cities like Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles before wrapping Dec. 7 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. Latto will receive support throughout the trek from Mariah the Scientist and Karrahbooo.

Tickets for all shows will go on sale Aug. 16 at 10 a.m.

After 15 years in the rap game (the 25-year-old started rhyming when she was 10), and about four in the mainstream, Latto’s gotten so good she makes it look easy. She knows how to switch flows and styles seamlessly, like the way she works some R&b into hard-hitting trap on her latest single “Big Mama” without a hitch. With hits like “Put It on Da Floor,” and its buzzy remix with Cardi B, she plays the mean-girl-bad-bitch role convincingly, especially after the sugary pop of her chart topper “Big Energy.
