Beyoncé might surprise Paris on the Cowboy Carter Tour, and it has everything to do with Miley Cyrus
Cyrus, 32, was already drawing attention earlier this week when she was spotted around the French capital, reportedly promoting her new album Something Beautiful. Over several outings, including a visit to her hotel where she was greeted by fans, the singer was seen in a series of bold fashion statements — Miley wowed in a gray sheer dress with black, leather opera gloves as she headed to an event.

The excitement surrounding her Paris trip took a new turn after fans recalled her recent interview teasing a possible live performance of 'II Most Wanted,' her Grammy-winning duet with Beyoncé. 'I have her show in Paris on my calendar right now, so we'll see,' Cyrus said, adding, 'I'm excited to be around Beyoncé as anyone else.'
Beyoncé is currently scheduled to perform at Stade de France on June 19, 21, and 22 as part of her Cowboy Carter world tour. With Cyrus in the same city and now seen rehearsing with the 43-year-old superstar, fans are speculating a surprise on-stage collaboration is imminent.
While there has been no official confirmation from either artist's team, the video circulating on social media has heightened anticipation that Cyrus may make a guest appearance during one of Beyoncé's upcoming Paris shows.

Country singer Gavin Adcock calls out Beyoncé over Cowboy Carter chart success
Country artist Gavin Adcock publicly criticized Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter during a recent concert, expressing frustration that the Grammy-winning album currently ranks above his own on the Apple Music country albums chart. In footage shared online, Adcock addressed the crowd, referencing the chart rankings where Cowboy Carter sits at No. 3 while his own project, My Own Worst Enemy, is at No. 4. 'One of them's Beyoncé — you can tell her we're coming for her f—in' a–,' he told fans, who responded with loud cheers. He followed up with a pointed statement: 'That sh– ain't country music and it ain't ever been country music.' Later, on Instagram, Adcock expanded on his comments. He acknowledged Beyoncé's talent, citing childhood memories of her music, but stood by his belief that Cowboy Carter doesn't belong in the country genre. 'It doesn't sound country, it doesn't feel country,' he said. 'People who dedicate their lives to this genre shouldn't have to compete with it just because she's Beyoncé.' It ain't country — Gavin Adcock Music (@GavinAdcock) June 30, 2025 Cowboy Carter, released in 2024, has achieved major milestones, including topping the Billboard 200, winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammys, and spending weeks at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums and Hot Country Songs charts. The album features a diverse group of artists, including Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Black country trailblazer Linda Martell. Billboard has reached out to Beyoncé's representatives for comment. Meanwhile, Adcock continues to promote his upcoming album and will join Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem Tour in July.

What can they read?
A bookseller recently suggested that I read Incorrigible Optimists Club by Jean-Michel Guenassia (translated by Euan Cameron). It is a book about coming of age of a young boy in Paris in the late 1950s. This is an extraordinary time in the country. There is terrible violence in Algeria and conflicting opinions and strong emotions in France about the unfolding tragedy there - the post-war France is unsettled by the memories of the Nazi occupation; there are deep divisions among the youth and their parents about political order and global alliances; notions of liberty and freedom are being debated fiercely; and new ideas through extraordinary writings on existentialism from people like Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Camus are reaching a wide audience. The nearly 700-page book beautifully captures these threads from the perspective of a young boy, who is dealing with love, loss and family disputes - while playing foosball at a local bistro, reading compulsively and being in the presence of exiles from Soviet states and giants of modern French literature like Sartre and Kessel. I have enjoyed the book immensely. But there was something else about the book that got me thinking. The book was widely praised by critics, but it also won a particular award, the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens. This particular literary award is voted for by French high school students. Each year, members of the Academie Goncourt (that dates back to 1882 and awards the Prix Gocourt, one of the most prestigious literary prize of French literature) choose 12 literary works, which are then discussed, debated, analysed and voted on by nearly two thousand high school students. The books that are chosen by the members of the academy are not necessarily targeted for young adults, but cover a range of genres in literature. The award is organised by the French Ministry of National Education in partnership with Fnac (a French media company that distributes the works of fiction). The French Ministry of National Education, describing the prize, says that "the high school students have approximately two months to read the novels with the help of their teachers. During this intense reading period, regional meetings are organized between authors and high school students. The Prix Goncourt des Lycéens is awarded by high school students themselves." I wondered what it would take for something like this to take off in Pakistan. For the sake of argument, if we were to choose two thousand students from within the country, and similar to the rules set by the French ministry, so no school could participate for two years in a row, and somehow found a benefactor to buy two thousand copies of serious books of literature written by contemporary authors, would we still be able to do it? I was less convinced by the typical argument given that 'our kids are too busy on Instagram or TikTok' and hence do not read anymore. I think our youth are just as busy as high school students in France or Colombia or Kenya are. My conclusion was that the reason something like this is unlikely to take off not because of the youth, but because of the adults. The problem is that many of us (teachers included) are uncomfortable with literature and unsettled by the difficult, provocative and complex questions that literature asks us to confront. We are more interested in universal conformity than questions. If we pick up a textbook of English or Urdu literature, what kind of literature do we see there? Is it one that asks us deep questions about our past or present, our preconceived notions or worldview? Does it allow us to challenge the status quo? Or is it predictable and increasingly narrow in its intellectual and literary scope? What books (if any) do we ask our students in high school to read? Looking in the mirror, we may find that we are actually afraid of them having questions for us, and for the society at large. It is easy to think about the 'great days' of the past and talk about how the kids these days are less 'cultured', but maybe the problem is somewhere else.

Doechii shuts down Glastonbury 2025 with explosive 'Alter Ego' performance
Doechii delivered one of the standout moments of Glastonbury 2025 with a commanding performance of 'Alter Ego' on the West Holts stage. The Florida rapper's electrifying set was widely praised for its theatricality, lyricism and energy—earning her star status among festival headliners. Opening her conceptual 'school of hip‑hop' performance, Doechii captivated the audience with narrative-driven staging—complete with desks, lockers and voice‑over lessons. As she transitioned into 'Alter Ego,' her presence intensified; she moved with fierce confidence, interacting with dancers amid umbrella choreography. The performance struck a balance of irreverence and skill, with Doechii exuding self‑aware humor alongside her undeniable rap mastery. Critics noted she 'triumph[ed] over a biblical set clash' against competing headliners like Charli XCX and Neil Young. Doechii shuts down Glastonbury with her performance of 'Alter Ego.' — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 30, 2025 The Guardian described her West Holts debut as 'theatrical, flirtatious and athletic,' firmly establishing Doechii as both artist and entertainer. She weaved in samples ranging from Wu‑Tang Clan to Daft Punk, showcasing her deep hip‑hop roots while delivering fresh reinterpretations. By the time she reached 'Alter Ego,' she commanded the crowd, who were 'bopping, jumping and losing it' to the track. Doechii's 40‑minute set reaffirmed her rising status in contemporary rap. Fresh off a Grammy win for Alligator Bites Never Heal and a Billboard Artist of the Year title, her Glastonbury run felt less like a debut and more like a coronation. With her blend of rap prowess, stagecraft and relatable charisma, Doechii didn't just perform—she shut Glastonbury down.
