Thanks to a jaw-dropping Super Bowl showing and a rocking Grammy performance the week following, Mother Monster Lady Gaga is seeing monster demand for her recently announced ‘Joanne’ tour.

The trek, designed to support her most recent #1 album of the same name, was originally scheduled to kickoff August 1 in Vancouver and touch several North American and European venues before ending in Salt Lake City in December.  Well, thanks to the overwhelming fan response and instant sellouts in multiple locations, Live Nation has announced a shakeup in the tour’s schedule by adding some additional dates.

The Grammys may be over, but the fall out continues regarding Beyonce‘s ‘Lemonade‘ snub for the coveted Album of the Year.

Serving as a forewarning of dramas to come, Frank Ocean composed an insightful open letter that briefly pointed out the ‘cultural biases’ that is filtered during the ceremony of music.

Now, Solange takes a seat at the table to further back Ocean’s claim of the Recording Academy’s perceived racial biases.

While Adele‘s sweep, Beyonce‘s performance, and Rihanna‘s shut-out are the main topics of discussion post the 2017 Grammy Awards, a little known singer – Joy Villa – garnered her fair share of attention after her stunt on the ceremony’s red carpet.

As we revealed here, the singer/songwriter took to the pre-show affair donning a politically charged, pro-Donald Trump dress that featured the caption “Make America Great Again.”  Earning her an unceremonious slamming from a number of commenters – some of whom even propelled death threats – the move also earned high praise from the sitting president’s supporters.

In fact, so much support Villa woke up to news her 2014 EP, ‘I Make the Static,’ edged out Beyonce for the top spot on iTunes.  This despite Bey having the most talked about performance of the night…

Ciara certainly knows how to keep busy.

The pregnant performer isn’t letting her expectant status halt her hustle.

Together with husband Russell Wilson, the singer took part in the weekend’s Grammy festivities by stopping by the afterparty of her new label Warner Bros.

We’re super excited about Ci’s new deliveries – namely her baby and upcoming album.

Last night’s Grammys brought forward an Adele sweep, with the Brit vocalist cementing her titan status with the biggest award of the night – Album of the Year.

And while the songbird’s ‘25‘ era is undoubtedly deserving of accolades, many (including the singer herself) deemed Beyonce most deserving of the AOTY honor.

The 2017 Grammys may as well have been named “the Adele show.”

The powerhouse diva, whose 2015 & 2016 were already monstrous in sales and critical acclaim, is kicking of 2017 with similar treatment thanks to a Grammy sweep that saw her nab “Album of the Year,” “Song of the Year,” and “Record of the Year” honors.  In fact, she won every single award she was nominated for at tonight’s ceremony.

The night may have had a few performance hiccups, but all of that was overshadowed when the singer/songwriter took to the stage to accept the night’s most anticipated golden gramophones and, in a twist, even dedicated two of the wins to her idol Beyonce…

After the conclusion of the 59th annual Grammy Awards Rihanna‘s faithful fan group, The Navy, is in absolute uproar.  Rightfully so, if you ask us, as the Bajan beauty’s critically acclaimed set, ‘Anti,’ entered the race with a whopping 8 nominations.  Not only that, the album and/or its content were believed to be clear frontrunners in at least half of those categories.

Sadly, by the night’s end, that’s all the opus remained:  nominated.  That’s right, despite birthing one of 2016’s biggest hits, ‘Work,’ breaking streaming records, and even yielding some of the singer’s most artistically mature offerings to date, the album was completely snubbed.

Leave it to Rih though to even fail in style.  See what we mean inside:
