Justin Bieber Releasing New Album on Friday: Fans 'Did Not See This Coming'
Beliebers will finally be getting new music from Justin Bieber.
First reported by The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday morning, the 31-year-old singer will be releasing his seventh studio album on Friday. The album is rumored to be called Swag because of billboards spotted in Iceland and Los Angeles. Features on the album will include rappers Gunna, Sexyy Red and Cash Cobain, each of whom the Canadian singer has shouted out on social media in the past few months. This will be his first studio album since Justice, which was released in 2021.
Many people have been speculating that Bieber was going to release new music sometime in the near future because of a photo dump posted to Instagram on June 30, which showed him working in a studio. But on Thursday in the early afternoon, Bieber himself confirmed the reports through multiple social media posts, including the tracklist and billboard pictures posted on his Instagram. The new album will have 20 new songs.
When reports circulated around social media and the "Yummy" singer posted multiple photos confirming the release, the Internet freaked out.
"i literally fell to the ground and started crying," a fan commented on one of Bieber's Instagram posts.
An X fan account dedicated to Ariana Grande commented, "did not see this coming, but yes Justin come save summer."
"Justin bieber dropping a new album tonight WE WONNNN," a user posted on X with an Oprah Winfrey GIF.
"IT'S NOT CLOCKING TO Y'ALL THAT WE GETTING A NEW ALBUM TONIGHT," a user commented on Instagram, referring to this viral video.
"THIS IS FOR THE OG BELIEBERS," one fan commented.
Another commented, "He's been cooking I'm ready to be fed."
Bieber's seventh album will be out on all streaming platforms at midnight ET on Friday, July 11.

I Could Dive Into Cardi B's Swimming Pool Nails
All products featured on Allure are independently selected by Allure editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Getty Images If there's one color I always associate with summer, it's aqua blue—the color of bright blue skies, swimming pools, and ocean waves. It feels so fresh and vibrant on a sunny day and perks up a rainy afternoon. Cardi B must agree, because the Am I the Drama? rapper is currently wearing a manicure that is the exact shade of a shimmering pool. Cardi's turquoise nails popped up in an Instagram Story on July 23 and they instantly brightened my mood. Her nails were in her preferred shape, long with squared-off coffin-shaped tips, and painted the prettiest, brightest shade of aqua—just a simple, stunning summer color as tantalizing as an empty pool on a hot day. This is the shade you get before a vacation to shift your brain into beach mode, to cheer yourself up in the dark winter, or when you're looking for something that feels as fun and flirty as a cute sundress. And doesn't it look so good against her bright red hair? While celebs have been devoted to glazed donut nails, soap nails, and nearly naked manicures for the past few years, bright shades always pop, especially come summertime. Earlier this year, we fell hard for Tyla's neon nails: an vibrant butter yellow mani-pedi one week, followed by an equally vivid rose color. Los Angeles-based nail artist Sarah Chue pinpointed electric blue as one of the top trending colors for summer 2025 manis, and Cardi herself recently wore the shade enhanced by a magnetic cats-eye effect. If you're loving Cardi's color du jour, try OPI's Nail Lacquer in I'm Yacht Leaving, ILNP's Retro Teal, or Essie's Expressie polish in Bring the Beat for a similar look. The color is also perfect for a pedicure, so take advantage of the final weeks of summer and go bold and bright.

Edmonton man's 54-hour ferris wheel ride raises $70,000 for Alberta Dreams
Former Edmonton radio host Chris Scheetz stepped onto the ferris wheel at KDays with the hope of raising funds for chronically-ill children while simultaneously attempting to obtain the world record for the longest time spent on a ferris wheel. Scheetz concluded the Wheel of Dreams fundraiser after 54 hours on the KDays ferris wheel to raise at least $54,000 for Alberta Dreams, a charity that fulfills dreams of children with severe chronic or life-threatening medical conditions. The three-day fundraiser, which ran from Monday to Wednesday, raised $70,886 for Alberta Dreams, said a Friday news release. 'Explore Edmonton is proud that KDays served as the home for the Wheel of Alberta Dreams Challenge. Congratulations to the entire Alberta Dreams team, especially Chris Scheetz, on the success of the fundraiser,' said Arlindo Gomes, vice-president of business development and venues management at Explore Edmonton.

Toronto seniors make stand-up comedy debut, proving laughter is the best medicine
When Alan Wang took the stage for his stand-up comedy debut Thursday, the senior citizen says the bright stage lights were nerve-recking. For his routine, Wang says he shared his experience job hunting as an immigrant, where he was advised to move to Ontario for more opportunities. "I say, 'How would I do that?' And they say, 'Get a car!'" Wang was one of five seniors who performed at the Comedy Bar's sketch night for seniors, titled Die Laughing. The show was an exclusive, one-night event with sets lasting around five minutes — and was meant for more than just laughs, said Marie Minimo, production and communications coordinator at Mammalian Diving Reflex, the theatre performance company that organized the event. "Ultimately, the goal is to highlight the importance of seniors sharing their stories, as well as give them a space to feel empowered," said Minimo. To prepare for their show, seniors participated in an eight-week workshop with Tamara Shevon, a comedian teaching stand-up for almost six years. Each set was inspired by personal instances because "it's harder to forget something that you have already lived through," Shevon said. Shevon says she loves the program because it gives her an opportunity to help people achieve new goals regardless of what stage of life they are in. "It's not something that's restricted to age. You can do things for as long as you want to," Shevon said. Workshops were held once a week for around two hours, and aimed to teach skills to get participants out of their comfort zones. For Wang, learning the "right" jokes was a challenge because he rarely watched stand-up comedy and says he often did not understand other people's jokes. "I'm Chinese. What we find interesting or funny is not what people here find funny," Wang said. Shevon taught the seniors how to add punch lines and anecdotes to help tie their sets together and make them humorous for the audience. One concept that Shevon taught was social acupuncture, where small instances of social discomfort are created as an intentional stressor to facilitate genuine connection. As an example, seniors were encouraged to interact with strangers on the street to gain confidence as many had never been on a stage before. WATCH | Moe Ismail: School teacher by day, comedian by night: Dean Rogers, another participant, dressed up as Santa for his set. He focused on making puns, a skill he learned from his grandfather. "I've got a little bit of acting in my blood and comedy in my blood. And I can do puns," said Rogers. The audience included many family members cheering in support as the seniors took the stage. Wang describes the event as a once- in-a-lifetime experience: "Like climbing Mt. Everest."
