TAYLOR SWIFT ROLLS OUT THE RED CARPET FOR THE ROYALS

Taylor Swift’s London concerts were the place to be as everyone from Tom Cruise, Travis Kelce and Prince William with his two oldest children showed up. Williams’s wife, Kate Middleton couldn’t make it since she’s still recovering, and was told to avoid large crowds. Not only did Taylor pose for photos with William and the happy kids, she also recorded a personalized video for Kate, wishing her a speedy recovery and promising her the best seats in the house for any of her future concerts when she recovers! And that’s not all, Taylor also gave Prince George and Princess Charlotte bags of concert swag, which she signed for the starstruck kids.

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS NOT THE DIVA YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS

As we previously reported, Jennifer Lopez chose saving her marriage to Ben Affleck over her concert tour, but she didn’t want to leave her backup dancers high and dry. According to our source, J.Lo is paying her dancers out of her pocket as if they were employed for the duration of the tour. Since it’s likely too late for the dancers to book other tours, Jennifer didn’t want them to take a financial hit based on her choice to cancel her concerts. We don’t have an exact number, but it’s estimated to cost her well over a million dollars to cover the salaries. Despite her song, Love Don’t Cost A Thing, in this case it most certainly DOES.

NSYNC IS INSPIRED BY TAYLOR SWIFT AND BEYONCE

NSYNC wants IN on the action, now that Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have made concert movies all the rage. Nearly two decades after they split up, the former boy band of now grown men has reunited and have been appearing together – which sparked rumors of a reunion tour. According to a source, they haven’t agreed to a grueling worldwide tour (breakout star Justin Timberlake is the holdout of course) but they are close to signing a deal for limited reunion engagement show in Las Vegas. Impressed by the success of Beyoncé and Taylor’s recent concert movies, they plan to film their concerts and turn it into a full length movie. Wonder if they’ll make as much money as the women did…

MADONNA HAS PLANS OF HER OWN

To no one’s surprise, Madonna wants in on the action. The music icon launches her Celebration Tour this Saturday in London, and just like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, she’s planning to film her performances and turn it into a movie. Madonna was a trailblazer in this genre, turning her Blonde Ambition tour into a feature length documentary, Madonna: Truth or Dare. This time around, she will take a cue from Taylor’s record breaking, The Eras Tour concert movie and make her concert the movie. In Truth or Dare the majority of the film was the behind the scenes action with only a few snippets of her performing. Taylor stands to make upwards of one hundred million dollars from her movie and Beyoncé’s upcoming Renaissance Tour movie is expected to do equally as well, so Madonna expects to earn quite the pretty penny.

HEY – WHAT’S UP WITH MADONNA?

 

Madonna turned up at JFK airport looking like THIS. Flaunting nothing. No sense of style whatsoever- completely buried in baggy attire. Expensive, but baggy. She’s with her bodyguard and on her way to England to prepare for her first sold out concert in 10 days at AO Arena in Manchester.  Listen to this- she rented out the entire arena for several days in order to rehearse and PERFECT her show.  Maybe she’s acutely aware of how successful Taylor Swift and Beyonce’s concert tours have been, and she feels competitive pressure . Her last tour was devastated by her own injuries and Covid. All we know is she doesn’t look as confident as she usually does – but she might surprise us…

BEYONCE HAS SUPER CONCERT PLANNED FOR LUCKY L.A.

Beyoncé is having a star studded birthday party and YOU are invited… IF you can afford the steep ticket price! Beyoncé is turning 42 on September 4 and she’s performing in LA that day on her Renaissance World Tour.  Our source says lucky concertgoers can expect to see a fabulous bunch of surprise guests joining Queen Bey on stage as she celebrates her birthday. The final details are still being worked out, but potential performers include her husband Jay-Z, Madonna, Britney Spears, Chris Martin and even a Destiny’s Child mini reunion with Kelly Rowland! For the majority of us who won’t be there, the plan is to tape the concert and sell it to a streaming service….of course.

HANG ON BRITNEY – IT’S MADONNA TO THE RESCUE!

Madonna has just rescheduled her worldwide tour and she wants to bring Britney Spears along for the ride! The women both made headlines recently: Madonna had an infection which landed her in the ICU and forced her to postpone her tour, and Britney because her husband Sam Asghari just surprised everyone by filing for divorce! The two singers have been close for years and Madonna was one of the few celebrity guests at Britney’s wedding to Sam last year. An insider says that Madonna wants to cheer Britney up and thinks she would be the PERFECT surprise guest for her concerts where they’ll reenact their infamous KISS from the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. Sounds like a fun way for Britney to forget her troubles…

MADONNA: CONCERT OR FASHION SHOW?

Madonna just announced her upcoming world tour celebrating 40 plus years as a musical icon and the show will be a fashionista’s dream. Prepare to get an eyeful of Madonna. On past tours Madonna would rely on one designer to create costumes – this time she’s spreading the love and plans on using as many designers as she can get. Her longtime collaborator, Jean Paul Gaultier is just one of many she’s leaning on to create some showstoppers. Also on the list – Donatella Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney -just to name a few. She’s also planning to hire up-and-coming designers to create some original looks so fans can expect PLENTY of costume changes. Her iconic Gaultier cone bra is already getting revamped for the tour. If her bleached eyebrows and gold teeth (above) are any indication- her costumes will be outrageous…

KID ROCK AND HIS MISPLACED MACHISMO

It will be interesting to see how Kid Rock’s Bad Reputation tour 2022 pans out since he announced that he won’t perform at any venues that require vaccinations or masks. His tour starts April 6 and runs to June 15. He assured fans that they will get refunds if the venues still have Covid mandates by the dates of his scheduled concerts. He’s making a big deal out of his macho anti-vax posturing, but if the rest of us are careful, Covid might have subsided and mandates be dropped by his start date- or he will lose a lot of money. Uncooperative Buffalo and Toronto already backed OFF the tour list and most of Rock’s concerts are in small towns in the South and Midwest, so he might get lucky. But he’s still obnoxious.

ADELE IS LYING TO HER FANS

When Adele abruptly canceled her four month Las Vegas residency 24 hours before the first show, she tearfully blamed Covid among the cast and crew, plus delivery delays. (Of course other shows had managed to survive thru those same problems!) Most revealing was the fact that Adele CANCELED her residency instead of POSTPONING it – implying there’s more to this than meets the eye. The truth is coming out in bits and pieces. A source at Caesar’s Palace where she was rehearsing said Adele couldn’t get through a single rehearsal without passionately calling her boyfriend Rich Paul and crying and shouting into the phone. Relationship problems? Was the pressure for a huge extravaganza more than she could handle? Has her stage fright returned? It’s a disaster for Caesar’s Palace and Adele is not being honest about the situation. (And this isn’t the only thing she’s lying about- more on that later)
