Here's Why Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez Have Delayed Wedding Planning, Former Says ‘It'll Be Chill'
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez announced their engagement with a post on December 12 2024, with the Hands to Myself singer writing about how her 'forever begins now'. Congratulations poured in from all sides, as after dating for a long time, their fans were keen on seeing the two take the next step. Questions about their wedding plans have been rampant; however, the duo has remained very tight-lipped about whether anything has happened so far. Now, the music producer is speaking about how they haven't begun yet, but that's because he wants to take a break between all the work they've been doing. What's the Status of Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez's Wedding Planning? Talking to Jake Shane on his podcast Therapuss, Benny Blanco confirmed that he had not begun planning for his wedding yet. He shared just how busy the two had been since their Taco Bell-style engagement 'We got engaged and then we were filming music videos for our album, then it's holidays, then right after the holidays, we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that.' However, that was the last of their problems as soon, she went off on her acting gig, halting their plans once again. 'Then she left to film her show, Only Murders, and then I met her, then we hung out for a week, and then right after that, it's [more] promo.' With everything happening in their lives, the two haven't had the chance to plan their ceremony. But Ed Sheeran seems to have already gotten an invite. 'Honestly, I really want to take a little break. I've been working so much,' he revealed as the reason for the delay. He added that he wants to enjoy a relaxing time with his partner. 'I just want to lie in bed and forget what day it is because we've been in bed just watching stuff. Not usually, but with Selena, I can do it all day. She makes me want to hang out and cuddle, just watch things, eat food, and have the best time ever.' On the host's remark about how amazing the nuptials would be, looking at the interest from all around, the Castle On The Hill producer shared that the vibe for this marriage would be 'chill', unlike an extravagant soiree that the world would be expecting. The couple aims to plan it soon, maybe in the coming summer.'We're going to sit down and be like, 'OK, what are we doing?''

Ed Sheeran plays surprise set at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend
The Thinking Out Loud singer, 34, surprised fans on Saturday with a live set on the New Music Stage in which he used his trademark loop station to build up layers of his songs rather than play to a backing track. The set opened with Castle On The Hill and included hit songs Perfect, The A Team and Shape Of You. A post shared by BBC Radio 1 (@bbcradio1) He told the audience at Sefton Park: 'I'm glad you turned up. I know this was a secret. 'I'm gonna play some songs that hopefully you know; If you don't know, it's gonna be a long hour for you. The singer added that by using his loop station, his set would be unique: 'Everything you hear today is completely live. There's no backing track whatsoever. 'It's made live on the spot – control of my feet – and at the end it's deleted and it won't be the same at the next show. 'The way that it works is you press record like this, and when you press play, it plays back and loops, and you can add layers on top of it.' During his performance of latest song Azizam, Sheeran stopped and restarted his loop recording, telling the crowd: 'I'm going to have to do this again again. This is how you know it's live. One more time.' Sheeran, who has 14 UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums and headlined the Big Weekend music festival in Coventry in 2022, finished his surprise set with Bad Habits. Also on Saturday's line-up in Sefton Park are Sam Fender, Sugababes, Tom Odell and Blossoms, with Jade, Mumford & Sons, Haim, Wet Leg and Tate McRae playing on Sunday.

Ed Sheeran plays surprise set at BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend before headlining Glastonbury
Ed Sheeran thrilled fans with a surprise performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool. The 'Thinking Out Loud' artist, aged 34, delighted the crowd on Saturday with an impromptu live set on the New Music Stage, showcasing his skills with a loop station to create layers of sound for his songs instead of using a backing track. Kicking off with 'Castle On The Hill', his set featured beloved tracks such as 'Perfect', 'The A Team', and 'Shape Of You'. Addressing the audience at Sefton Park, he said: "I'm glad you turned up. I know this was a secret." He playfully warned the crowd: "I'm gonna play some songs that hopefully you know; If you don't know, it's gonna be a long hour for you." Sheeran highlighted the uniqueness of his performance by noting: "Everything you hear today is completely live. There's no backing track whatsoever." He explained the live nature of his music-making: "It's made live on the spot – control of my feet – and at the end it's deleted and it won't be the same at the next show." He described the technical process: "The way that it works is you press record like this, and when you press play, it plays back and loops, and you can add layers on top of it." In a moment of authenticity during his latest song 'Azizam', Sheeran had to restart his loop recording, assuring the audience: "I'm going to have to do this again again. This is how you know it's live. One more time." With a history of success including 14 UK number one singles and eight UK number one albums, and having headlined the previous year's Big Weekend festival in Coventry, Sheeran concluded his unexpected set with 'Bad Habits'. The Saturday line-up at Sefton Park includes Sam Fender, Sugababes, Tom Odell and Blossoms, while Sunday's performances will feature Jade, Mumford & Sons, Haim, Wet Leg and Tate McRae.
