Taylor Swift performs live for the first time since reclaiming her masters at Nashville gig hosted by Travis Kelce
It's been a long time coming. Taylor Swift made a hotly anticipated return to the stage for the first time since buying back her masters and wrapping up her globally sold-out Eras Tour. The 14-time Grammy winner, 35, wowed the crowd with a rendition of 'Shake It Off' at the 'Tight Ends and Friends' concert hosted by Travis Kelce in Nashville, Tenn., Tuesday. The three-time Super Bowl champ founded the event as part of the training camp program 'Tight End University,' which he's holding in Music City this week. It appeared as though there were many Swifties at the soirée, as countless screaming fans couldn't contain their excitement during the 'Cruel Summer' singer's performance. 'We were up there, having some drinks and we were thinking 'How loud can this place get? Theoretically, how loud can the singing be in here?'' she hyped the crowd before revealing, 'We planned that three minutes ago.' Before stepping out on the stage at the Brooklyn Bowl, Sophia Scott, Graham Barham and Chase Rice performed while Swift enjoyed the evening in the VIP suite. Their performances were followed by Jordan Davis and Luke Combs. As Kane Brown was approaching the end of his set, Swift walked out and grabbed Rice's acoustic guitar — sending fans into a frenzy. She dedicated the song to 'our favorite players.' While tickets for the event had been on sale to the public for some time, Swift's appearance — and performance — was kept tightly under wraps. One Swiftie even livestreamed the performance on X, which showed the singer dressed in a black mini dress paired with a gold belt. Kelce, for his part, rocked a camo shirt and pants as he cheered his famous girlfriend on from the side of the stage. The pair were spotted the night before The performance marked her first since buying back her masters in what was said to be a colossal $360 million deal. The 'Fortnight' singer announced last month that she was finally able to buy back the entire music catalog of her first six studio albums. In 2019, record executive Scooter Braun bought the rights to her first six albums — 'Taylor Swift,' 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation' — for $300 million (allegedly without her approval) before they were acquired by the investment firm Shamrock Capital a year later. In 2018, however, Swift inked a new deal with Universal Music Group and Republic Records, where she recorded and owns the masters of 'Lover,' 'Folklore,' 'Evermore,' 'Midnights' and 'The Tortured Poets Department.' Alongside a lengthy letter penned to fans, Swift broke her social media silence to celebrate the win by sharing photos of her sitting with her first six original albums fanned around her. 'You belong with me,' she captioned the post, quoting her famous 2008 song.

Lorde Shares Final ‘Virgin' Preview With New Single, ‘Hammer': Stream It Now
Lorde has dropped the 'Hammer,' giving fans the final taste of her upcoming fourth album before its official arrival next week. With Virgin scheduled for release on June 27, Lorde took to social media earlier this week to reveal that one final single would be dropping in the lead-up – joining the recently-released cuts 'What Was That' and 'Man of the Year.' More from Billboard Rachel Zegler Serenades Crowd Outside Theater for Free in a New London Production of 'Evita' Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to Receive Vanguard Award at The Guitar Center Music Foundation Gala & Benefit Concert Shakira Announces Two More Dates in Mexico, Extending Record to 28 On Instagram Wednesday (June 18), Lorde explained that the new song would be titled 'Hammer.' 'First song on the album,' she wrote in her caption. 'An ode to city life and horniness tbh.' Arriving on Friday (June 20), the euphoric new single features co-production by Lorde and Jim-E Stack, and launches with an electronic passage which has drawn similarities to Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face' by some online commentators. Lyrically, the track also references Lorde's previous comments surrounding the forthcoming recording, including that of rebirth, and also of her relationship toward gender – as evidenced in the line, 'Some days I'm a woman, some days I'm a man.' The line echoes the singer's recent comments about fostering a close friendship with Chappell Roan in the past year, with the pair also discussing Lorde's changing relationship with gender. '[Chappell Roan] asked me this … She was like, 'So, are you nonbinary now?'' Lorde recalled. 'I was like, 'I'm a woman except for the days when I'm a man,'' the singer continued. 'I know that's not a very satisfying answer, but there's a part of me that is really resistant to boxing it up.' Gender is one of several topics Lorde has promised to explore on Virgin, which drops June 27 via Republic Records featuring additional production from Fabiana Palladino, Andrew Aged, Buddy Ross, Dan Nigro and Dev Hynes of Blood Orange. The singer-songwriter has also said that the album was informed by her experiences with disordered eating, quitting birth control and breaking off a longterm relationship. 'THE COLOUR OF THE ALBUM IS CLEAR,' she described the project when announcing it back in April. 'LIKE BATHWATER, WINDOWS, ICE, SPIT. FULL TRANSPARENCY. THE LANGUAGE IS PLAIN AND UNSENTIMENTAL. THE SOUNDS ARE THE SAME WHEREVER POSSIBLE. I WAS TRYING TO SEE MYSELF, ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A DOCUMENT THAT REFLECTED MY FEMININITY: RAW, PRIMAL, INNOCENT, ELEGANT, OPENHEARTED, SPIRITUAL, MASC.' The release of 'Hammer' will also be accompanied by a Renell Medrano-directed music video, which will premiere via YouTube at 9am ET on Friday, June 20. Listen to 'Hammer' below.
