Dizzee Rascal is returning to Australia and New Zealand this November and December for the We Want Bass tour, joined by U.K. dance act Example, rapper Arrdee and Perth DJ Swaglord Savannah across seven shows.
The tour opens at Perth HPC on Nov. 26 and moves through Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Byron Bay before closing at Auckland’s Shed 10 on Dec. 8. Support lineups vary by city: Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney get the full four-artist bill, while Adelaide and Auckland feature only Arrdee, and Byron Bay features only Swaglord Savannah. Mastercard and Live Nation presales run July 8-9, with general tickets on sale July 9 at 1 p.m. local time via livenation.com.au and livenation.co.nz.
Born Dylan Mills, Dizzee Rascal remains one of the most influential artists to emerge from London’s grime scene. His 2003 debut Boy in da Corner won the Mercury Prize, making him the youngest winner in the award’s history at 19 and the second rapper to take the prize after Ms. Dynamite the year before. The album is widely regarded as one of grime’s foundational texts.
His commercial peak came with 2009’s Tongue n’ Cheek, which produced four consecutive U.K. No. 1 singles — “Dance Wiv Me” with Calvin Harris, “Bonkers” with Armand Van Helden, “Holiday” and “Dirtee Disco” — and was certified double platinum. His 2010 collaboration with Shakira, “Loca,” topped charts across Europe and peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. He was appointed MBE in 2020 for services to music.
Example has built a near two-decade career as one of the U.K.’s most consistent rap-dance crossover acts. Arrdee broke through via his verse on Russ Millions and Tion Wayne’s U.K. No. 1 “Body Remix,” before his debut mixtape Pier Pressure reached No. 2 on the Official Albums Chart and No. 1 on the U.K. Streaming Chart.

JENNIE headlined the final night of Open’er Festival in Gdynia, Poland on Friday (July 4), delivering a 17-track set that included three unreleased songs and a clear signal that new music is imminent.
The BLACKPINK member performed “Lock It Down” — a dance-pop track about a “secret love affair” first previewed at Governors Ball last month — “Heaven,” an emotionally-charged song about heartbreak, and “Less Than A Lover,” a dreamy ballad she described as inspired by summer.
“It’s a song I wrote thinking about summer,” she told the crowd. “It feels really special to share new music with so many people. I really can’t wait to share this new music with you soon.”
The set drew heavily from her 2025 debut solo album Ruby, alongside her collaboration with Tame Impala, “Dracula,” and her collaboration with The Weeknd, “One of the Girls.” There were no BLACKPINK songs during the hour-long performance.
JENNIE has been on one of the most sustained chart runs of any K-pop solo artist in Billboard history. Her Tame Impala collaboration “Dracula” — originally released as a Tame Impala solo track last October before a duet version arrived in early February — has become one of 2026’s most dominant radio hits, reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart dated July 11, a first for both artists.
The song has also peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it has held for 37 consecutive weeks as of mid-June. Ruby debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and produced five Hot 100 entries, making her the first female K-pop solo artist to place three songs on the chart simultaneously. She has logged six total Hot 100 entries as a soloist, the most of any female K-pop solo act. Ruby has surpassed 3 billion Spotify streams.
Open’er Festival’s fourth and final day also featured performances from Addison Rae, PinkPantheress and Jade, with headline sets across the weekend from Calvin Harris, Florence and the Machine, The Cure and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Sharon Osbourne has marked what would have been her 46th wedding anniversary with Ozzy Osbourne, sharing a tribute to the late rock legend on Instagram on Friday (July 4).
Alongside a close-up photo of the couple holding hands, Sharon wrote: “Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary. Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way. Forever my husband. Forever my heart.”
Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76, following a public battle with Parkinson’s disease. His passing came just 17 days after he headlined a massive farewell concert, “Back to the Beginning,” at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham alongside Black Sabbath. The couple married in Hawaii on July 4, 1982, and remained together — through well-documented highs and lows, including a brief separation in 2016 — for 43 years until his death. They renewed their vows in 2017, and together they raised three children: Aimee, Kelly and Jack.
Ozzy’s passing triggered a significant posthumous surge on the Billboard charts. “Crazy Train” — his signature 1980 solo track from Blizzard of Ozz — hit the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in its history, debuting at No. 46 with 9.2 million streams in the tracking week ending July 24, 2025.
“Mama, I’m Coming Home” re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 49, its first appearance on the chart in 33 years. His compilation The Essential Ozzy Osbourne surged to No. 7 on the Billboard 200 — a new peak from its original No. 81 — and hit No. 1 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts simultaneously. The top seven positions on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart were held entirely by Osbourne and Black Sabbath tracks.
Across a career spanning more than five decades as both frontman of Black Sabbath and as a solo artist, Osbourne sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, claimed nine solo top 10 entries on the Billboard 200 — including at least one in every decade from the 1980s through the 2020s — and scored two top 10 Hot 100 hits: “Close My Eyes Forever” with Lita Ford (No. 8, 1989) and “Take What You Want” with Post Malone and Travis Scott (No. 8, 2019). Black Sabbath’s reunion album 13 gave the band their first-ever Billboard 200 No. 1 in 2013.
Dolly Parton has a very specific thank-you request for newlyweds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
After the couple donated $2 million to Parton’s Imagination Library ahead of their wedding, the country icon shared a video message thanking Swift and Kelce for the gift — before jokingly asking whether she could have their first child.
“Taylor and Travis, it’s Dolly,” Parton said in the video. “I was just told that you two are making a donation of $2 million to my Imagination Library. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude.”
“Now it’s evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives,” Parton continued. “So hey, when you have your firstborn, can I have it? Because that is gonna be one special baby.”
Parton also highlighted the mission of the Dollywood Foundation, saying it is “to dream more, care more, learn more, and be more,” and added that the organization would continue that mission “in even bigger ways now” with the couple’s donation.
“So thank you and know that I will always love you,” she said, briefly singing a line from her 1974 classic “I Will Always Love You.”
The donation was part of a broader philanthropic effort from Swift and Kelce surrounding their wedding. The couple donated $26 million to charities across the country, including organizations in New York City, Rhode Island and Kansas City, as well as national groups including Parton’s Imagination Library, Feeding America and the ASPCA.
Swift and Kelce tied the knot Friday (July 3) at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The couple announced their engagement in August 2025 after two years of dating.
Swift’s rep confirmed the happy news in a press release, revealing that the pop superstar and football player wore outfits designed by Christian Dior Haute Couture. The couple did not have traditional bridesmaids or groomsmen, but Swift’s brother Austin was her man of honor, while Jason Kelce was Travis’ best man, the release revealed. Actor-comedian Adam Sandler officiated the nuptials.
Taylor Swift’s wedding look included a few major designer names — and one familiar link to her record-breaking The Eras Tour wardrobe.
The pop superstar wore Christian Dior Haute Couture to marry Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday (July 3), according to a statement Swift’s rep shared with Billboard. The ceremony looks for both Swift and Kelce were designed by Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the bride and groom.
The dress marks Anderson’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity, according to the statement. Swift completed her bridal look with Cartier jewelry, while both she and Kelce wore custom Christian Louboutin shoes.
The Louboutin detail is a notable one for Swift fans. On its official website, Christian Louboutin notes that Swift wore custom bejeweled styles from the designer throughout the European leg of The Eras Tour, with the Maison creating custom and existing silhouettes in different shapes, heel heights and colorways.
Those designs included crystal-covered Eleonora Botta boots for the “Lover” portion of the show, Cate boots for “Fearless,” a custom lace-up ankle boot for Folklore and Evermore, and the CL Moc Lug loafer for “Red,” according to the designer.
The official wedding-style details follow Swift and Kelce’s Friday night ceremony at Madison Square Garden, where they married in front of family and friends. The couple did not have traditional bridesmaids or groomsmen; instead, Swift’s brother Austin served as her man of honor, while Jason Kelce was Travis’ best man. Actor-comedian Adam Sandler, whose movie Happy Gilmore 2 featured a cameo from Kelce, officiated the ceremony.
Swift and Kelce’s relationship began in 2023 after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended one of her shows in Kansas City and later revealed on New Heights that he had hoped to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. The couple announced their engagement in August 2025 with Instagram photos from Kelce’s flower-garden proposal, captioning the post, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Over the course of their romance, Swift penned several songs that are almost definitely about Kelce, including “So High School” and “The Alchemy” from 17-week Billboard 200-topping album The Tortured Poets Department, as well as Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Opalite” from The Life of a Showgirl.
Official photos of Swift’s bridal look had not yet been released as of Friday evening.
Travis Kelce must have taken some notes from Taylor Swift‘s Midnights track “Mastermind,” because after just two months of shooting his shot with the multi-Grammy-winning superstar, the “Anti-Hero” singer was spotted cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs tight end at one of his football games in September 2023. Talk about manifestation!
Fans have loved the pairing ever since, with Swifties christening the couple “Tayvis” and, at one point, starting a hilarious trend on TikTok of telling their male partners that Swift put Kelce “on the map.” And while the coupling between Swift and Kelce might seem random to the casual entertainment consumer, Billboard is here to help trace back how the two titans of their very different industries have come together and fallen in love over the course of many headline-making months.
Below, we’ve compiled a full timeline of all the most notable moments in their relationship, from the football player trying to give a friendship bracelet to Swift during her July 2023 Eras Tour stop in Kansas City to all of their football game outings, concert appearances and mushy-gushy interview moments that led up to their internet-breaking engagement in August 2025 to their New York City wedding in July 2026.
So if you need to catch up on how one of the most high-profile couples of the decade came to be — or you just want to relive the high points of their all-American romance — there’s no need to look any further. Keep reading to see a full, continuously updating timeline of the musician and athlete’s adorable love story in chronological order below.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have finally tied the knot on their love story, getting married in front of friends and family at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday (July 3). A sign, which MSG shared a photo of on Instagram, outside of the world famous venue confirmed they had exchanged their vows. “JUST&T MARRIED!” read the black text over pink background.
Swift’s rep also confirmed the happy news to People, revealing that the pop superstar and football player wore outfits designed by Christian Dior Haute Couture. The couple did not have traditional bridesmaids or groomsmen, but Swift’s brother Austin was her man of honor, while Jason Kelce was Travis’ best men, the statement to the magazine revealed. Actor-comedian Adam Sandler officiated the nuptials.
The couple’s nuptials come a little less than a year after they announced their engagement following two years of dating. In August 2025, they shared photos on Instagram from the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s flower-garden proposal — as well as Swift’s massive diamond ring — and wrote adorably, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Fans have since been impatiently awaiting the big day, with speculation over the wedding’s date and location reaching a fever pitch in June as reports started surfacing that Swift and Kelce would use MSG as their venue on Fourth of July weekend. More commotion over the event came with the news that it would coincide with NYC’s most severe heatwave so far this year, with temperatures reaching triple digits on the day they said “I do.”
“If you happen to be getting married at Madison Square Garden, you will be staying inside and you will be staying cool,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani joked at a press conference about the extreme weather days before the wedding. “I think it’s a good example to set for the city at large.”
Swift and Kelce have been together since the summer of 2023. After the football player attended one of her Eras Tour shows in Kansas City that year, he grumbled on his and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast about his failed mission to meet the 14-time Grammy winner backstage, where he’d hoped to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. The episode caught the attention of Swift’s mom, Andrea, who encouraged her daughter to give Travis a chance.
“I call up my resident expert on Kansas City Chiefs, my cousin Robin, and I go, ‘Tell me about this guy named Travis Kelce,’” Andrea recalled in an episode of Swift’s Eras Tour docuseries on Disney+. “She goes, ‘Oh my god, he’s the nicest guy, and you know what? He really loves his mom.’ And I went, ‘Ding ding ding.’”
Swift and Kelce hard-launched their relationship shortly after that, with the hitmaker attending one of Kansas City’s games to cheer on her then-boyfriend from a box suite. That would be the start of many Arrowhead Stadium visits for Swift, while the football player began attending a series of Eras shows across the globe. During one of her stops in London, he even joined her on stage for a surprise cameo.
“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there, and we don’t care,” Swift told TIME for her 2023 Person of the Year interview. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
Over the course of their romance, Swift penned a number of songs that are almost definitely about Kelce, including “So High School” and “The Alchemy” from 17-week Billboard 200-topping album The Tortured Poets Department, as well as Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits “The Fate of Ophelia” and “Opalite” from The Life of a Showgirl. Swift first announced the latter album on New Heights; while she was busy recording the episode, a crew was secretly setting up a romantic proposal scene outside.
Now, as the couple closes out their engagement era and steps into a new chapter as husband and wife, they’re making sure to spread the love. One day before their nuptials, Swift’s rep announced that the pop superstar and Kelce had donated $26 million to a variety of charities located across the United States in cities with special meaning to them, including their hometowns as well as Nashville and Kansas City, where Swift and Kelce respectively began their careers.
Madonna and her daughter, Lola Leon, are opening up about the emotional experience of collaborating on Confessions II song “The Test.”
During an interview Thursday (July 2) with Bob the Drag Queen on “iHeartRadio and TikTok LIVE Premiere With Madonna,” the mother-daughter duo discussed the making of the song, which was written by Madonna and Leon, produced by Stuart Price, with additional production from Arca.
Bob the Drag Queen kicked off the conversation by asking whose idea it was to create “The Test,” which marks the Queen of Pop’s first official musical team-up with her 29-year-old eldest daughter.
“It was my idea,” Leon responded, explaining that “there’s a lot of things that are unspoken” in a mother-daughter relationship.
“There’s a lot of love that’s unspoken, but also a lot of tension and emotions that kind of are difficult to put into words, because it can be so emotional,” she said. “A way that I thought would be easier for us to speak about these things would be maybe through art, which is always something that my mom and I have connected over. That’s really brought us together.”
Madonna described the songwriting process as “a very magical moment,” adding that they both “had to be vulnerable.”
“The Test” finds Madonna reflecting on the ways her global fame affected Leon, who inspired Ray of Light and was 9 years old when the Confessions on a Dance Floor era began in 2005.
“You didn’t ask for all the flashing lights,” Madonna sings on the track. “I didn’t think of how it could disturb/ Or how it hurt/ I wish I knew the pain I’ve caused/ My butterfly was always being watched.”
Leon also revealed that, before entering the studio to record “The Test,” she had a dream about her maternal grandmother.
“It was kind of unclear what she said, but I just felt her presence,” she said. “It left me wondering what kind of person I would be if she was alive, and what kind of person you would be if she was alive, and what our relationship would be like. Those questions will always be unanswered, but I think it was a really beautiful way to honor her and heal each other through her eyes, kind of as a spirit.”
Asked whether she had to work up the courage to ask her mother to collaborate, Leon said she wasn’t nervous.
“Not really,” she responded. “She’s a very intimidating person and I have found that I’m not intimidated by many people as a result of her being my mom.”
Leon (who has recorded as Lolahol) released her debut single, “Lock & Key,” in 2022, along with her GO EP that same year. The model, dancer and singer was born to Madonna and dancer and fitness trainer Carlos Leon in 1996. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 2018, where she studied dance.
Confessions II, Madonna’s 15th studio album, features 16 tracks, including collaborations with Sabrina Carpenter, Feid, Martin Garrix, and Stromae.
Ahead of the album’s Friday (July 3) release, Madonna partnered with iHeartRadio and TikTok for an exclusive preview event. The “iHeartRadio and TikTok LIVE Premiere With Madonna” streamed Thursday, giving fans around the world a first listen to the album one day before its official release. Viewers could tune in via @tiktok, @madonna and @iheartradio, while more than 200 iHeartRadio stations across the U.S. also broadcast the event.

Jon Pardi and Summer Pardi have announced they are splitting.
On Friday (July 3), the 41-year-old country singer and his wife, 37, shared a joint statement on social media revealing that they are divorcing after five years of marriage.
The pair, who wed in November 2020, are parents to daughters Presley Fawn, 3, and Sienna Grace, 2.
“After much thought, we have made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” they wrote on Instagram post. “Our daughters will always remain our highest priority and we are committed to moving forward with love and respect as co-parents.”
The pair added, “Thank you so much for your understanding, support, and respect as we navigate these changes as a family.”
Shortly after posting the news, the “Dirt on My Boots” singer shared another message on his Instagram Stories.
“While I navigate this next chapter, I’m going to take some time away from social media to focus on myself and my family,” he wrote. “Thanks to you all for the love and support. My team will handle posting for the time being. I’ll see you at the shows.”
The former couple’s split comes as Pardi is in the midst of his Honkytonk Hollywood tour, which is scheduled to conclude Dec. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The trek is in support of his most recent album of the same title.
Jon and Summer met in May 2017 after being set up on a blind date by one of Summer’s clients and a friend of Jon’s mother.
“Within the first five minutes of meeting Jon, it was game over for me,” the hairstylist previously told People. “I texted my mom, ‘Sell my house, sell my car, send my dog.’”
The former couple got engaged during Pardi’s concert at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium in October 2019.
