Next Stay Close ✕ Justin Bieber has released his new album 'SWAG.' — Pop Base (@PopBase) July 11, 2025 A video of Justin confronting a paparazzi photographer circulated online. In it, he says, 'I'm a dad, I'm a husband. You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?' The video went viral online, with plenty of remixes popping up; now the 'it's not clocking to you' line is being used to promote his new album. 'Swag' is Justin's seventh album, and it consists of 12 songs that feature Sexxy Red, Gunna, Cash Cobain and more. He has always alternated between pop and R&B, and this time, this album features more soulful and heartfelt songs that delve into the ups and downs of relationships. On the album's fourth track, 'Go Baby', Justin references his wife with the line 'That's my baby, she's iconic, iPhone case, lip gloss on it.' Hailey is the founder of Rhode, a beauty brand she recently sold for $1 billion. One of the brand's most notable products was a phone case with a built-in lip gloss holder, which is the inspiration behind Justin's lyrics. The surprise album comes after the singer reportedly sold the rights to his music catalogue for around $200 million (more than R3.5 billion) in December, trying to get some funds back. His former manager, Scooter Braun, apparently advised him to wait until January for tax benefits, but Justin went ahead with the sale anyway. Additionally, Justin was previously hit with a $380 000 bill for unpaid property taxes on his $16.6 million Coachella Valley home. A TMZ documentary titled 'TMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber?' also revealed that his financial woes are due to a combination of mismanagement, legal disputes and cancelled tours.

Beyoncé Tweaks Cowboy Carter Finale After Malfunction That Left Fans 'Terrified' For Her Safety
Beyoncé worried fans the world over last month when a malfunction during her Cowboy Carter tour left her hanging from the ceiling at a precarious angle. The Crazy In Love singer is currently on a world tour in support of her Grammy-winning country album. Until recently, the show ended with Beyoncé flying over the audience while riding in a convertible car while singing her 2024 hit 16 Carriages. However, during a recent performance in her hometown of Houston, Texas, the stunt went awry, with Beyoncé stopping the number when the car began to tilt at an unsafe angle. Beyoncé was safely lowered after her flying car unexpectedly tilted mid-air at the Cowboy Carter tour in Houston while performing '16 CARRIAGES.' — Pop Base (@PopBase) June 29, 2025 Since then, Bey has scrapped the 16 Carriages section of her Cowboy Carter tour completely, but brought it back on Thursday night in Atlanta – albeit without the car. Instead, Bey flew over the audience atop a golden mechanical horse, echoing the end of her hit Renaissance Tour in 2023. Fans following the tour on social media where happy to see 16 Carriages back on the setlist (and similarly relieved that she'd decided to park her convertible for good…). this is the greatest comeback of all time are you joking — beyoncé gifs (@beygifz) July 11, 2025 BEYONCÉ BRINGS BACK 16 CARRIAGES ON A GOLDEN MECHANICAL HORSE OMFG THIS FCKING LEGEND😭😭😭😭😭 — 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 (@beyoncegarden) July 11, 2025 THE MOVING WHEELS BUILT INTO THE HORSE???

Cowboy Carter is the second 'act' in Beyoncé's ongoing three-act project. The first instalment, Renaissance, was focussed on dance and house music, while the second was centred around country and folk music, featuring contributions from some of the greats from the genre including Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Linda Martell, as well as guest appearances from the likes of Shaboozey, Miley Cyrus and Post Malone. With the Cowboy Carter tour now almost over, fans have already begun speculating about what could be in store for 'Act III', which it's been heavily rumoured will take its inspiration from rock and roll music.

Beyoncé halts concert after being left dangling from car mid-air
Beyoncé faced a terrifying stunt malfunction on stage when a car she was suspended in started to tilt. In April the US superstar, 43, kicked off her Cowboy Carter world tour, which is scheduled to end on July 26 in Paradise, Nevada. After recently struggling to sell out her six shows in London during the UK leg of her tour, the singer has now faced a 'mishap' during a performance. On Saturday night's show in Houston, Texas she was performing her song 16 Carriages in a car suspended above concertgoers at NRG Stadium. However, in videos captured by those in the crowd, the prop then began to tilt mid-air. The unsettling moment was shared on social media, with Beyoncé seen sitting on top of the red convertible as it begins to slant at a sharp angle while in the air. Beyoncé was safely lowered after her flying car unexpectedly tilted mid-air at the Cowboy Carter tour in Houston while performing '16 CARRIAGES.' — Pop Base (@PopBase) June 29, 2025 'Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,' she said into the microphone as the music cut out. Some in the crowd also began screaming. Remaining suspended in the air, she looked at the ground and up again before smiling at the crowd as they cheered. The singer was wearing a harness and held onto one of the cables attached to the car as it tilted. After a few seconds, she then told them 'thank y'all for your patience', before the car was lowered into the centre of the stadium. As it got closer to the ground, it stopped tilting and she shuffled back to where she was originally seated on the top of the car before the lights were turned off. The moment left some fans unsettled, with many rushing to share their thoughts on social media. 'This was beyond terrifying. She literally had to stop singing and started shouting 'Stop. Stop stop',' user Lo posted on X. 'I think we were all scared for her and the many people that could've been seriously injured,' Romani shared. 'She was so nervous despite trying to put on a brave face and smiling through it for her worried fans,' TS added. Beyoncé addressed what happened when returning to stage, telling fans: 'If ever I fall, I know y'all would catch me.' After the show Beyoncé's production and management company, Parkwood, released a statement regarding the incident. 'Tonight, in Houston, at NRG Stadium, a technical mishap caused the flying car, a prop Beyoncé uses to circle the stadium and see her fans up close, to tilt,' it shared on Instagram. 'She was quickly lowered, and no one was injured. The show continued without incident.' More Trending During previous tours Beyoncé has experienced other close calls with props. Earlier in her Cowboy Carter tour, a robot that was supposed to pour her a drink missed its mark. Meanwhile during her On The Run II tour with husband Jay-Z in 2018, a moving platform broke, forcing her to climb down a ladder -in heels and a sequined leotard. Got a story?

However, the evening wasn't without controversy. Fans quickly took to social media to criticise Swift for sitting next to hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, who is a known supporter of Donald Trump. Many expressed disappointment, with some questioning her choice of company given the political ties. Gretzky's association with Trump has sparked backlash in both the US and Canada. Despite the controversy, Swift and Kelce seemed to enjoy the game, with Swift remaining unfazed by the criticism surrounding her seating choice.
