Kelsea Ballerini is planning a show at Madison Square Garden to celebrate the release of her new album, Patterns. Since New York played a special role in the new project, she thought it would be the perfect tribute. The new album will be released October 25th and the concert will be held October 29th. Kelsea made the announcement with a video on social media that showed her and her dog Dibs landing in New York in a helicopter passing by the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty. The video is special for another reason....shortly after it was filmed, Dibs was diagnosed with heart cancer. Kelsea has said that his cancer is inoperable and that she hopes treatment will make sure he has "as many comfortable and happy days (weeks, months) left as possible."

"His dedication of empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we're thrilled to honour him with the Country Champion Award."

Nicole Kidman's mother, Janelle, has died. People reported that Nicole left the Venice Film Festival early after she received the news of her mother's death on Saturday. Nicole was there to accept a Best Actress award for her role in her latest movie, Babygirl. She left the festival before her acceptance speech, and the film's director, Halina Reijn, read a statement that Nicole wrote, saying that she arrived in Venice, then found out "shortly after that my beautiful, brave mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, has just passed." A representative for the actress confirmed the news and said, "The family is heartbroken and asks for privacy at this time."
Blake Shelton is taking his Friends & Heroes Tour on the road again in 2025. The new dates will kick off in late February. The lineup will feature a blend of country legends and newcomers. Trace Adkins will return, along with Deana Carter, Craig Morgan and Emily Ann Roberts from The Voice. "The Friends & Heroes Tour is one of my favourites because as a fan, I can't think of a cooler concert to see," Blake says in a statement. "I get spoiled every night seeing these icons come out and do four or five of the biggest hits of their careers."
After losing their mother to mental health in 2022, The Reklaws are launching the Flo Walker Stardust Fund this month.

The duo will also release a collection of three new songs, called "Outliving (For Mom), in tribute to Flo. "Two years ago we lost our mom to mental health," The Reklaws shared on Instagram. "Come join us in Toronto as we raise money for mental health by bringing a little bit of our childhood adventure farm to the big city." Tickets go on sale Friday, September 6.
