A new documentary, Call Me Country: Beyonce & Nashville's Renaissance will stream on Max in the U.S beginning on April 26.

It also includes analysis from culture and country music experts including Toure, Larisha Paul, Chris Molanphy, Kyle Coroneos, Keith Hill, and Co-Directors of the Black Opry Holly G. and Tanner D.

In a recent interview with The Standard promoting her BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Sounds series, "Courtney Love's Women," Courtney Love slammed Taylor Swift, saying "she's not important" and "not interesting as an artist."

"Taylor is not important," Love said. "She might be a safe space for girls, and she's probably the Madonna of now, but she's not interesting as an artist."

It's not known why Love has a contrarian view about Swift now after having wished her a happy birthday in December 2021 via Facebook. She called Swift an "aspirational huge role model for many young women" at the time. The post also featured a photo of Love and her "occasional hair twin/neighbor."

Courtney also spoke about Lana Del Rey and Madonna during the recent interview with The Standard.

"I haven't liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off," she said. "Up until 'Take Me Home Country Roads' I thought she was great. When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much."

About Madonna, Love said, "I don't like her and she doesn't like me. I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, but for the city of New York as much as her."

A judge has dismissed hip-hop superstar Drake from multiple lawsuits over the tragedy at the Astroworld festival in November 2021 that resulted in the deaths of ten people and left several hundreds injured.

State District Judge Kristen Hawkins dismissed Drake from the case in a brief order. The judge also dismissed Epic Records, concert promoter ScoreMore and a few other entities from the litigation but refused to dismiss Travis Scott, Apple Inc., and Live Nation Entertainment from the lawsuits.

The suits pertain to the incident that took place at the of the Astroworld festival in Houston on November 5, 2021, at which Drake was a special guest of Travis Scott, the headliner at the festival.

Following a crowd surge that resulted in severe casualties, the affected families sued Drake, Scott and Live Nation as well as several other individuals and entities.

Drake's lawyers argued during a court hearing in Houston earlier this month that he was not involved in putting the concert together and was subsequently not liable for the deaths and injuries that occurred.

They argued that Drake (Aubrey Drake Graham) was unaware of any safety issues prior to performing at the show.

"Mr. Graham did not receive any security briefings, was not informed of any crowd control issues, injuries or deaths in the crowd, or any stop show orders at any time either before or during his 14-minute performance," his attorney stated.

During a recent appearance on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," Adam Levine spoke about an Instagram video that showed Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger dancing to Maroon 5's 2011 hit "Moves Like Jagger."

"It's really surreal," Levine told Jimmy Fallon on the show. "It's just one of those things you're like, 'Oh my, like how is this possible. What is happening. It's bizarre.'"

"My mom and like one of my friends sent me the video," He continued. "I was shocked not more people sent it to me."

Last month, the 80-year old British rock star had shared a clip featuring his moves to a cover of "Moves Like Jagger" played by Splash. He captioned the post, "Moves like who!"

Multi-platinum global superstars Jason Derulo and Michael Buble recently released a music video for their collaborative track "Spicy Margarita."

The visual, co-directed by Derulo, was filmed at Voltaire at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, which is also the home of Derulo's upcoming Las Vegas residency beginning May 17th.

The video features Derulo as a backstage worker at the night club. Buble, who plays a singer, mocks Derulo for his past attempts to be a dancer and orders him to hold the door open for him.

"Get the door, kid," Buble says. "Still trying to be a dancer? Why don't you show us some of your moves?"

"Those days are long gone, man," responds Derulo. "I'm just working now. Right this way."

Later, when Buble arrives on stage, Derulo sneaks out from backstage, dances and sings along with him.

"Spicy Margarita" is the first-ever collaboration from Derulo and Buble. The duo celebrated their fiery collab with an unforgettable late-night TV performance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Maggie Rogers' third studio album, Don't Forget Me, was released on Friday, April 12.

Along with the release of the album, the Grammy Award-nominated artist kicked off a week-long celebration that she dubbed "Box Office Week." It includes pop-up events, special shows taking place over the course of the week at intimate venues in four U.S. cities and a new round of Maggie's notable in-person ticketing.

"On the last album, Surrender, I decided to go old school and sell tickets in-person in an effort to reduce fees, combat bots and get tickets directly into the hands of fans," explains Rogers. "That process was so fun, this year I'm hosting 'Box Office Week,' where I've set some special prices for fans who want to come purchase tickets in person."

"Here's how it's going to work. from April 13th to April 20th, in every city where I'm playing an arena this fall, you can go to the local box office to choose your seats and buy your ticket for a special in-person price," she added. "In NYC, Philly, Boston, and Chicago, I'm going to be in person selling tickets directly to you at the box office. After the box office day festivities, I'll be playing a show that very same night in those four cities where me and my band will perform Don't Forget Me for the very first time."

Rogers co-produced her new album with Ian Fitchuk at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, writing eight of its 10 songs with him and penning two alone.

Speaking about the album, Rogers said, "I wanted to make an album that sounded like a Sunday afternoon".. "Worn in denim. A drive in your favorite car. No make up, but the right amount of lipstick. Something classic. The mohair throw and bottle of Whiskey in Joan Didion's motel room. An old corvette. Vintage, but not overly Americana. I wanted to make an album to belt at full volume alone in your car, a trusted friend who could ride shotgun and be there when you needed her."

Don't Forget Me is a follow-up to 2022's Surrender.

Taylor Swift's songs are back on TikTok a few days ahead of the release of her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is due out on April 19.

Several Swift songs, including "You Belong With Me," "Lover," "Cardigan," "Mirrorball," "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," "Cruel Summer," "Cardigan," "Style (Taylor's Version)," "Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)," "The Man" and "ME!" - were back on TikTok by Thursday (April 11), available for users to incorporate into their videos.

After Universal Music Group let its licensing agreement with TikTok lapse on January 31, due to the app's unwillingness to pay for the "fair value" of music, Swift's catalog was pulled from the app in February. UMG also cited other concerns such as AI and artist safety as the reasons for letting the agreement lapse.

In a letter to its artists on January 30 explaining the licensing spat, UMG wrote, "With respect to the issue of artist and songwriter compensation, TikTok proposed paying our artists and songwriters at a rate that is a fraction of the rate that similarly situated major social platforms pay."

TikTok countered that Universal was engaging in "false narrative and rhetoric." TikTok said, "It is sad and disappointing that Universal Music Group has put their own greed above the interests of their artists and songwriters."

It now seems TikTok has reached a separate deal with Swift who owns her masters and presumably would have the ability to strike her own arrangement. It is also said that with her new album, The Tortured Poets Department set to arrive on April 19, Swift is partnering with TikTok to promote the album.

There is no clarification as yet about the reappearance of Swift's songs on the app. Neither TikTok nor representatives for Swift have responded to requests for comment. UMG has not spoken about the move as well.

A trailer released by Warner Bros. for Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to the 2019 psychological thriller Joker, features Lady Gaga as henchwoman Harley Quinn.

"I'm nobody," Gaga's Harley tells Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck in the trailer, as a version of Hal David and Burt Bacharach's 1965 classic "What the World Needs Now Is Love" plays in the background. "I haven't done anything with my life like you have."

The trailer also features visuals of several musical moments in addition to the "What the World Needs Now Is Love" song. Steve Coogan's character is heard saying, "We use music to make us whole, to balance the fractures within ourselves,"

Jay-Z's annual Made in America festival, scheduled to take place in Philadelphia over Labor Day weekend, has been canceled for a second straight year.

The festival organizers posted the cancellation news on social media and their official website without assigning any specific reason.

"As purveyors of change, the Made In America executive production team is reimagining a live music experience that affirms our love and dedication to music and the work we do. We promise an exciting return to the festival," the statement read, without providing a timeline for the festival's return.

"Since its inception, this groundbreaking festival has celebrated music and community - from creating a space for fans to connect, to uplifting local small businesses and shining a light on important causes. It has strived for accessibility, eliminating barriers through affordable tickets and location," the statement said.

Last year, Made In America canceled the festival in August, a month before the scheduled date, saying the festival would not happen "due to severe circumstances outside of production control." Lizzo and SZA were set to headline the festival at Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

The festival, which began in 2012 had been held every year up until 2023, except in 2020 as the pandemic forced the organizers to cancel the event.
