Thanks to Ariana Grande, there will soon be brighter days ahead for some organizations that support vulnerable communities.

Ari has launched The Brighter Days Ahead Foundation, which comprises four core funds: Protect & Defend, focused on LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights and reproductive justice; Heal & Dream, which expands access to mental health care and community support; Seen & Celebrated, which ensures LGBTQ+ voices and stories are heard and shared; and Emergency Support, which provides "rapid support and relief during times of collective need," according to a press release.

Ari says in a statement, "I am beyond excited to finally announce the brighter days ahead foundation. Our mission is to support, protect, and provide resources for our vulnerable friends in need."

She adds that the foundation will be "supporting handfuls of incredible organizations that provide the safe space and care that is desperately needed by so many right now."

"It has been my privilege to be able to support these causes on my own over the years, and I’m grateful to now be able to expand that reach and amplify the life-saving work that these organizations do," she concludes. 

In more lighthearted Ariana news, her brother, Frankie Grande, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday. He told Jimmy that he met Céline Dion soon after Ariana had done one of her famous Céline Dion impressions on his show.

"And so I was there in Vegas and Céline comes literally running up to me and she’s like, ‘Oh my God, Frankie, you have to tell your sister when she did me on Jimmy Fallon I peed!’" Frankie related, doing his own impression of the Canadian diva. "She goes, ‘I was laughing so hard I peed myself! I peed!’”

Taylor Swift tops UK chart with 'Toy Story 5' song, says she had Randy Newman's 'blessing' to write it

Taylor Swift, 'I Knew It, I Knew You' from 'Toy Story 5' (Walt Disney Records)

Taylor Swift's new Toy Story 5 song "I Knew It, I Knew You" has scored the first of what will likely be multiple chart milestones.

The song has debuted at #1 on the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart; it's her seventh charttopper across the pond. She is tied with Michael Jackson, George Michael and U2 in terms of artists who've all scored seven #1 singles on that chart. 

Taylor is also now the first non-British artist to score two U.K. #1 hits in 2026; in February, she topped the chart with "Opalite." The only other artist who's had two U.K. #1 hits in 2026 is Harry Styles, with "Aperture" and "American Girls."

Taylor wrote the song after the artist who's most associated with Toy Story, Randy Newman, said it was OK for her to do so. Newman wrote and performed the franchise's signature tune, "You've Got a Friend in Me," plus several other songs for the movie series.

In ABC's new 20/20 special Toy Story: 30 Years and Beyond, which airs Friday at 8 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu, Taylor says that Newman has been "amazing and supportive and encouraging" in welcoming her to the franchise.

"Knowing I had his blessing to enter this world was really special for me and kind of helped ease what might have been a stressful situation, if I didn't know that he was good with it," she says.

"He's got a way of just writing such intricate, yet beautifully pure, simple lyrics about how you feel that get to the heart of it," she says of Newman's songs. "They're so complex. They're exactly how you feel, and they're so universal."

Selena Gomez denies shading Taylor Swift over the Knicks: 'I would never'

You need to calm down: Spurs fan Selena Gomez was not insulting Taylor Swift over Taylor's Knicks fandom.

As per E! Online, on Thursday Selena commented "lol" on an MTV Instagram post that shared photos of celebrities at Game 4 of the NBA finals, including shots of Taylor with Mariska Hargitay. On Friday, she posted an Instagram Story that read, "Woke up and was sent so many texts. I would never insult my friends, nor was it an insult. The comment was a reaction to the first slide on the page."

Selena went on to explain a now-deleted Instagram Story that she'd posted after the game, which was captured and posted on X. In it, she'd captioned a report of the Knicks' stunning victory over her hometown team, the San Antonio Spurs, "Mad respect for the game!! Congrats to the peeps that represent. What a comeback. So funny how some are all the sudden fans though lol."

People online interpreted this as criticism of Taylor, who has been accused by some -- including an ESPN commentator -- of not being a "real" Knicks fans. In fact, she's a longtime fan of the team. But as Selena explained in her Friday post, that's not what she was referring to at all.

"Second, I bet my friends on the game. The friends in the text chain I posted. I lost but was poking at my opponents, my friends," she wrote. "Believe it or not I do have other friends in my life. But quickly forget that most assume otherwise."

Olivia Rodrigo seems pretty excited for a girl with a new album; watch 'stupid song' video now

Olivia Rodrigo, 'you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love' (Geffen Records)

Now we know what Olivia Rodrigo was filming in New York City with all those ballet dancers.

Along with her new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, Olivia has dropped the video for one of the album's tracks, "stupid song." The chorus goes, "I want you more than any stupid song could ever say." As she sings the song, she wanders through the streets of Manhattan, followed by New York City Ballet's Tiler Peck, and other dancers from the New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, dancing in pink tutus and pointe shoes. 

In the clip Olivia also plays piano in a bodega, frolics in a park with the dancers and stands enraptured under a sprinkler. The song's lyrics also echo the "I'm unraveled" chorus of "the cure." In "stupid song," she sings, "I’m a thread on your shirt/ That is coming undone."

Liv writes in an Instagram message about the album, "I love this album so much. The record is a time capsule of a relationship in all of its highs and lows. It’s my attempt at capturing love from both sides of the coin. The hope and the disappointment. The insanity and the clarity. The entanglement and the unraveling.”

After thanking her musical collaborators, producer Dan Nigro and her label, she went on to thank her fans: "It sounds corny but I truly feel so lucky that I get to share in this journey with you all. The idea of someone listening to these songs and letting them into their world is the most wonderful thing I can think of. Here’s to hoping!”

Olivia's The Unraveled Tour starts Sept. 25 in Hartford, Connecticut.

'Grateful' Taylor Swift inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame: 'Songwriting is the easiest thing I ever did'

Steven Spielberg's new movie, Disclosure Day, opened at midnight Thursday, but at that time he was busy inducting Taylor Swift into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City.

Spielberg's speech during the annual gala was preceded by sombr performing her songs "Cardigan" and "Dear John." Inside the ballroom, Taylor sat with fiancé Travis Kelce, her mother, Andrea Swift, Travis' mother, Donna Kelce, and Spielberg and his wife, Kate Capshaw.

In his speech, Spielberg noted that Taylor is the youngest female songwriter to ever be inducted into the Hall, and said that her "place in our culture" rivals the likes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Carole King, James Taylor and Stevie Nicks.

"I love making movies," he concluded. "But I don't think I will ever fill stadiums of multigenerational fans who want to recite the dialogue from Indiana Jones. So thank you, Taylor, for the gift of your stories and for insisting on being an authentic voice in a world where the line between real and fake is increasingly blurred. You are our mirror ball."

When Taylor took the stage, she noted that in her entire 23-year career, "Songwriting was the easiest thing I ever did.” She said, "I think what I mean is that it was instinctual. No one taught me how to do it. I had to be taught how to entertain the crowd and learn choreography and be less annoying. ... But songwriting for me, it’s pretty much the only thing I ever just naturally did."

She concluded her speech by addressing the Hall of Fame organization: "I wanna thank the voters for celebrating and honoring the best and truest parts of my life. I’ll be forever grateful."

Also inducted Thursday night was Alanis Morrissette, who performed acoustic versions of her songs "Mary Jane" and "You Oughta Know." She was inducted by Brandi Carlile, who performed Alanis' song "Uninvited."

Another inductee was Kenny Loggins. He was ushered in by Gavin DeGraw, who performed Kenny's hit "Danny's Song" and joined him for "Celebrate Me Home." And Goo Goo Dolls singer John Rzeznik helped induct KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, teaming up with The Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan to perform their hit "Shout It Out Loud."

Teddy Swims' festival strategy: 'Hit 'em hard' with a hit 'right out the gate'

Teddy Swims will take the stage at the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee on Saturday; it's just one of several festival appearances he's been making this year, starting with Coachella in April. Teddy told ABC Audio that he knows a lot of people aren't there to see him when he plays festivals, so he's been starting those sets with one of his best-known songs to capture their attention.

"Right out the gate with 'The Door,'" said Teddy, referring to his top-10 Billboard Pop Airplay hit. "Just get 'em in immediately on something that, if they don't listen to me and they're kind of hanging around, maybe they'll know that song, you know, and they'll be like, 'OK, that's that guy. That's the face to the name.'"

"And so we try to hit them hard with something [they know]," he added. Of course, he closes his sets with his worldwide smash, "Lose Control." But in between he's somewhat limited to what he can play, due to the time constraints of festival sets.

"It's quite weird ... because you're up against the clock, you know. You got like 50 minutes to do all the songs you can, but also not do too much, say what you need to say," he told ABC Audio. "So we just try to make it as connective as we possibly can in that short amount of time."

"I want it to feel like I'm trying to make eye contact with every person I can, and bring everybody into our house," he added. "Which is why we made our set kind of [look like] home." 

You'll be able to watch Teddy's Bonnaroo set June 13 via Disney+ and Disney+ and Hulu; the whole festival will be streamed live on those platforms.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

John Mayer's been out of the spotlight lately, but he'll reemerge in July to accept a special honor.

Along with Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry, John will be named Philanthropist of the Year at the third annual Social Impact Summit, scheduled for July 22 in West Hollywood. Also being honored is the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

John's honor comes from his involvement in his charity, the Heart and Armor Foundation, which focuses on scientific research to support veterans. Since he founded the charity, it's donated over $5 million for research into mental health and community reintegration. The charity has also supported over $16 million in federally funded scientific grants for PTSD treatment and other issues.

John says in a statement, "This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States and we must recognize, support and help our veterans as they play an integral role in our nation. I am proud of the work we have accomplished and look forward to reaching many goals we have yet to achieve.”

Harry Styles, Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter: Which 'SNL' host could get an Emmy nomination?

They say you've got to be in it to win it, and according to Variety, not every famous pop star who hosted Saturday Night Live last season has had their name put up for consideration for an Emmy Award.

Out of a possible 20, NBC has submitted 11 of SNL's season 51 hosts for consideration in the categories of guest comedy actor and actress. Of those 11, Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo have been submitted for guest comedy actress, while Harry Styles and Bad Bunny have been submitted for guest comedy actor.

That means that Sabrina Carpenter is out of luck — she was not submitted. However, she's in good company, because Miles Teller, Matt Damon, Finn Wolfhard, Nikki Glaser and Glen Powell weren't submitted, either.

Ariana and Olivia's respective episodes drew some of the highest ratings of the season for SNL. Harry's ratings were on the high side, as well, but some of the actors and actresses who weren't submitted also had high ratings, so evidently that wasn't the only criteria.

Bad Bunny hosted the season opener in early October. Sabrina hosted later that month, while Ariana's episode aired in December. Harry did double duty in March. Olivia hosted in May.

Selena Gomez says her 'heart breaks' for the Spurs

While it seems every celebrity is cheering on the New York Knicks as they attempt to win their first championship since 1973, one celebrity is bummed that they beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night.

Selena Gomez is a Texan and a lifelong Spurs fan. She's currently filming Only Murders in the Building in London, and as she documented on her Instagram Story, she had to watch Game 4 of the NBA Finals at an ungodly hour.

"3 a.m. London time but can't miss it lol," she captioned a photo of the game streaming on a laptop.

Following the Spurs' last-minute loss, she posted an old photo of herself wearing a Spurs jersey and posing at one of the team's games. "Happy for NY but my heart breaks just a lil lol," she wrote. "It's ok. I'm happy for the teams! Thanks for giving us some great games @nba."

She then posted another photo of herself getting up for work and looking very tired, labeled, "slept 3 hours." That was followed by more pictures of herself as a young girl wearing Spurs merch, posing with a cutout of Spurs power forward Tim Duncan and standing next to the team's trophy case.

Perhaps with those photos Selena was trying to prove her Spurs fan bona fides so as not to find herself in the same situation that her BFF Taylor Swift did Wednesday night. One of the announcers at the game was caught on a hot mic saying, "She’s not a Knicks fan, get out of here, girl," after spotting Taylor at Madison Square Garden.

In fact, Taylor is a Knicks fan and fans responded by posting photos of her attending games over the years.

RAYE's already got her next album title, but won't start writing for it until *this* happens

RAYE's current album, This Music May Contain Hope, came out in March, but she's already planning her next record. She's even got the title, but the songs will have to wait a bit.

As Billboard reports, while doing a one-off show at New York's famed Blue Note jazz club, RAYE didn't perform her hit "Where Is My Husband!" because she said she woke up feeling too "single," so she didn't want to sing it. She then announced that the name of her third album will be And Then She Fell In Love, but added, "In protest ... I'm not writing a single song for this album until that moment finds me."

In other words, she doesn't want to write any songs until she falls in love.

"It's just gonna be 'love, love, love' and I'm excited for that time," she continued. "But it's not yet. I've also decided that I'm not gonna write a third album about 'this guy sucks,' 'this guy gave up on me' ... I'm done with that era! We're going to look forward to a nice, positive chapter."

She also advised fans, "Just do not date rappers. That’s what I’ll say to that. What a delusional person I was.”

RAYE will receive the Hal David Starlight Award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction gala Thursday in New York. It's an award given to young songwriters who are making an impact with their work. At the same event, Taylor Swift, a past winner of the Starlight Award, is being inducted into the Hall of Fame, making her the first artist ever to receive both those honors.

Olivia Rodrigo will celebrate her new album release by getting 'really drunk'

Olivia Rodrigo released her first album when she was 17 and her second when she was 20. Now, she's 23, meaning she's finally old enough to really celebrate the Friday release of you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

"I'm gonna get really drunk," Olivia told Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night. "So I'm really excited about that. Now I'm of age, I can, like, properly do it."

Olivia also revealed that her album cover photo, which shows her on a swing, took two hours to shoot, adding, "My hands hurt really bad from holding onto the chains ... there's, like, a pillow under my butt. You can't see it, but it was, like, super-painful."

Discussing the fact that Robert Smith of The Cure is a guest on the album, Olivia told Jimmy that she got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band's music through her dad. When her family joined her at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona recently, they caught the band's set, which was her dad's 30th time seeing them.

As for her mom, Olivia said she likes a lot of "crazy metal bands." She revealed that when she headlined Lollapalooza last year, her mom skipped her set to see the nu metal band Korn.

Elsewhere during her appearance, Olivia performed her new single "the cure," and Jimmy made one of her dreams come true. She had once told him that she never got a chance to do normal things, like babysit, because she started her career so young. So, he arranged for her to babysit about 15 kids at once, none of whom seemed to be over the age of five. Amazingly, she pulled it off, and Jimmy paid her $14 for her trouble.

Taylor Swift was one of the many lucky celebrities who got to witness the Knicks' historic comeback during Game 4 of the NBA Finals at New York's Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night -- and she brought her celebrity pals with her.

Taylor and Mariska Hargitay, who appeared in Taylor's video for "Bad Blood," sat next to each other at the game wearing matching t-shirts that read "Stevie Knicks."

Taylor's friends Alana and Este Haim of the band Haim were also there, wearing different punning t-shirts: Alana's read "Knickelback" while Este's read, "Knicole Kidman."

Taylor's other connection with Mariska Hargitay is that her Law & Order: Special Victims Unit character inspired the name of Taylor's cat, Olivia Benson.

Taylor flew from LA, where she'd attended the Toy Story 5 premiere Tuesday night, to attend the game. She'll be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Thursday night, along with Alanis Morissette, KISS and Kenny Loggins, among others.

Did Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz get matching tattoos?

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz have never discussed their alleged relationship publicly, but they must be pretty close because they've evidently gotten matching tattoos.

On Wednesday British Vogue posted a photo of a woman's tattooed back, teasing that she's the mag's July 2026 cover star. From the tattoos, fans identified the woman as Zoë, but also noticed that one of her tattoos consists of the words "LET IT RIP."

That led fans to crash out over the fact that Harry has seemingly gotten the same tattoo. A photo of him onstage during his Together, Together tour shows the words "LET IT RIP" on his right arm.

Fans believe the phrase "LET IT RIP" is from the TV series The Bear. In the show, the main character's late brother leaves him a letter that reads, "I love you, dude. Let it rip."

The current rumor is that Harry and Zoë are engaged. While that hasn't been confirmed, Zoë was spotted wearing what looks like a large diamond engagement ring.

Tour season: 'Excited' Noah Kahan says his new live show 'just sounds so good'

Noah Kahan's The Great Divide Tour (Courtesy Live Nation)

Noah Kahan will kick off The Great Divide Tour with opening act Gigi Perez on Thursday in Orlando, Florida, and he says fans should expect an "insane" show.

"We've been rehearsing, it sounds awesome. I'm really excited," Noah told ABC Audio in April, hours before the new album dropped. "It's a whole new show, the production is insane ... we added a new band member ... it just sounds so good. I'm so excited."

In terms of the setlist, Noah said he won't forget all the songs that fans have loved from him in the past.

"We have a lot of new music in there, but we're definitely making sure that we keep people happy with older songs," he told ABC Audio. "And I know how big of a part of my career Stick Season was, so we're honoring that for sure, but also playing a lot of the new songs. It flows together very well."

And fans can also take comfort in the fact that, in putting together the setlist, Noah will likely have taken into account which songs on The Great Divide they've been most enthusiastic about.

As he told ABC Audio in April, "I'm also excited to hear what people really connect to in the album, to decide what we should play." 

The North American leg of Noah's world tour is completely sold out, including four shows at Boston's Fenway Park. He's the first artist ever to sell out four nights at that iconic venue. The North American leg wraps Aug. 31 in Seattle; in September, he kicks off the overseas leg in Australia and New Zealand. He then heads to the U.K. and Europe, finishing in Paris in December.

Music notes: Taylor Swift, Benson Boone and more

Footage of Taylor Swift performing "I Knew It, I Knew You" live at Tuesday night's premiere of Toy Story 5 in LA is now available to watch on social media.

Benson Boone has shared a long clip of his new single, "The Time of My Life," which arrives on June 26. In his Instagram post, he sings the song while wearing a tight black lace dress. He tagged influencer Alix Earle in his post, because he was recreating a viral video in which she was seen dancing to the song on a yacht while wearing a similar dress. There's also a rumor that Alix is in the song's music video.

Bebe Rexha is a New Yorker, so she's going to celebrate the release of her new album, Dirty Blonde, with a one-off free show at New York's Irving Plaza concert venue on Friday. Meanwhile, Variety reports that Bebe's live concert that was supposed to be simulcast to AMC theaters nationwide June 17 has been postponed until later this year. The other concerts in the series have also been postponed. As per Variety, AMC says it's due to a "robust lineup of films and strong advance ticket sales in the weeks ahead."

Sara Bareilles has released the official video for "Home," the first single from her album Good Grief. The clip, featuring Sara walking through beautiful rolling meadows, was shot in "the coastal hills of my beloved Northern California," as she writes on Instagram.

The video for "Iconic by Mistake" by KATSEYE, LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT is out now. It features all three girl groups clapping back against online trolls. They sing, "Thank you for the comments/ It's because of all your hate/ I-I-I-I-I-I-I am iconic by mistake."

Olivia Rodrigo, 'you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love' (Geffen Records)

Olivia Rodrigo: She's just like us! Specifically, she used to write One Direction fan fiction, which now completely embarrasses her.

YouTube's Instagram account has shared an interview clip of Liv commenting on 1D's video for "Story of My Life."

"This had a choke hold on me when I was younger," she says. "I think I watched this video and started making fan fiction." When an off-camera person asks, "Can you please give us more details on your fan fiction?" Olivia starts talking about it, but then thinks the better of it.

"It was just like, 'Harry holds your hand on the roller coaster and tells you it's gonna be —" and then she stops herself.

"It's so bad," she laughs. "It's so bad."

In other Olivia news, she's announced two LA fan experiences celebrating the Friday release of her new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. One is called "the park experience" and is described as "a walk in the park, complete with photo ops, interactive moments and much more." It will be available June 11 and June 12-14.

The second one is called "the cure gallery," which is an "immersive gallery experience" of the set of Olivia's video for "the cure." It runs June 12-14.

For both events, American Express card members get early access and other perks.

And finally, we now know which songs from the album will be on the limited-edition 7-inch single that will be sold at Olivia's midnight listening parties: "honeybee" and "cigarette smoke."

When Taylor Swift revealed that she'd written a song for Toy Story 5, she noted that she'd been "a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 til now." And she proved it by showing up to the movie's premiere on Tuesday night with her original VHS tape of Toy Story under her arm.

But she wasn't just carrying it around to prove her fandom; she asked Toy Story star Tom Hanks to autograph it for her. He did, as he told USA Today, and then laughed, "I told her she should have brought in the VHS machine so that we could have signed it, 'cause that could go into the Smithsonian Institute as well."

Separately, Tom told Variety that he had no idea Taylor had a song in the movie until the last moment, when, he said, "They ushered us into a soundproof room and said, 'Tonight, at 9 p.m., the true end titles song is going to drop and it's by Taylor Swift.'"

"And I said, 'You guys kept this from us all this time?' We saw the movie and it did not — we had some dummy [song] in there, so they surprised us as well."

He added, "That's like saying, 'By the way, Judy Garland is singing "Over the Rainbow" at the beginning of this' — that kind of thing."

And while speaking to E! at the premiere, Tom offered the following marriage advice to Taylor and her fiancé, Travis Kelce: "The man must make the waffles on Sunday."

Toy Story 5 arrives June 19.

A year ago nobody knew what a HUNTR/X was and nobody had ever heard of Saja Boys. But on June 20, 2025, KPop Demon Hunters took over pop culture, and now Netflix has planned special celebrations for the movie's one-year anniversary.

First, KPop Demon Hunters will return to theaters across the U.S. and the world for anniversary screenings. Check your local listings for a theater near you. Additionally, there will be free outdoor screenings of the sing-along versions of the Oscar-winning film across the U.S. starting June 19 in Salt Lake City. That will be followed by free screenings in Atlanta, San Francisco, San Diego and Brooklyn on June 20; Butte, Montana, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, on June 24; and Cleveland, Ohio, on June 25. A different location in San Diego will host an additional screening on June 26. Visit Tudum.com for full details.

Both Netflix houses — one in Philadelphia and one in Dallas — will offer a full day of fan activities on June 20. There will be screenings all week at the Philly house. 

KPop Demon Hunters became the most-watched original title in Netflix history. Its soundtrack dominated the Billboard charts, including the #1 hit "Golden," the first K-pop song in history to win a Grammy Award and the first to win an Academy Award. The film also won the best animated feature film Oscar. The voices of HUNTR/X — EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna — have become stars in their own right, performing on TV and at live events, and a KPop Demon Hunters World Tour is coming.
