Summer might belong to Lorde, but fall is shaping up to be just as thrilling. Fresh off the release of her new album Virgin in June, the New Zealand singer is taking her show on the road, hitting cities across the US, UK and Europe from September through December. If her surprise performance in Washington Square Park was any indication, fans are in for something special.
In a personal note to her fans, Lorde described her concerts as a shared experience: "Every show is about us—bodies and machines creating something bigger together. Twelve years of making music just for us. This time, I’ve stripped things back to give us more space. I think Ultrasound could be our best work yet."

Federline’s book tells some wild stories, such as a knife in the doorway.
He is pushing this “Save Britney” angle now, which is quite a shift.
Britney says she has barely seen the children.
She calls the book a money-making play, hitting right when child support dried up.
Alright, so Kevin Federline has a book coming out. And it is, predictably, causing earthquakes. Britney Spears just threw petrol on the fire with a raw social media post. She is done staying quiet. The ex-husband’s memoir, You Thought You Knew, is packed with claims about her mental state and parenting. And Britney? She is not having it. Not one bit.

What is actually in this book?
Federline does not hold back. The excerpts are intense. He says their sons would wake up to find Britney just standing there, watching them sleep, holding a knife. Then she would wander off. He also talks about cocaine use while breastfeeding. His whole point is that ending the conservatorship was a massive error. He says things are spiralling fast. He uses phrases like “the eleventh hour.”
She did not just get angry. She got specific. The “constant gaslighting” is what she calls it. And then she dropped the real bomb about her sons. Think about that. One child, forty-five minutes of face time in five whole years. The other, just four visits. How does that even happen? She says she is “demoralised.” You can feel the defeat in her words. But she is done begging and says from now on, she will let them know when she is available. It is a power move, but a sad one.
Britney surely thinks so. Her statement basically says the “white lies” are heading “straight to the bank.” And she is not wrong about the timing, is she? The child support from her finally ended, and suddenly there is a book full of these private, painful stories. It is pretty convenient. Her team’s statement was even more direct, pointing the finger right at the profit motive.
