Last November, Lorde posted a photo on Twitter of a pair of earbuds, explaining that she likes to 'listen to the record on these every day." She added, 'wanna hear it exactly how you will."
The artist also shared an emotional message on Facebook in November 2016 saying, 'I'm not a kid anymore, and more and more I'm realizing that the weirdness of those Mylar balloons is going to be okay. Writing Pure Heroine was my way of enshrining our teenage glory, putting it up in lights forever so that part of me never dies, and this record - well, this one is about what comes next."
She went on, 'I want nothing more than to spill my guts RIGHT NOW about the whole thing - I want you to see the album cover, pore over the lyrics (the best I've written in my life), touch the merch, experience the live show. I can hardly stop myself from typing out the name. I just need to keep working a while longer to make it as good as it can be. You'll have to hold on. The big day is not tomorrow, or even next month realistically, but soon. I know you understand." Read more

He was seen driving around Los Angeles with Ed Sheeran riding shotgun, a clear indication that the "Thinking Out Loud" singer will soon appear on the show.
The moment was captured by unidentified Snapchatters, who spotted the telltale video camera setup on Corden's dashboard. If you've ever wondered about the mechanics of filming Carpool Karaoke, it's an educational video. Check out the clip

"I did [try to reach out], yeah," she told Billboard in a new interview. "I don't want to get into the details of that because it was really intense and it's hard for me to talk about. It makes me sad."
But no matter how sad she may feel about the fallout, Cabello was ready to tell her own story. "I was always super open [that] I couldn't just sing other people's words and be totally happy with that," she said. "I always encouraged the girls to do the same. We didn't write our records. We were interpreting somebody else's story. Fifth Harmony is an entity or identity outside all of us, and I don't think anybody felt individually represented by the sound -- we didn't make it."

Rae Sremmurd spent the afternoon at a golf club where they turn the gentlemen's sport into a chill party that lasts far into the night. Dressed in their golfing best, the brothers and their friends pass blunts, do keg stands and cut loose with older members of the club. The video even cuts between modern-looking camera shots and moments captured on a 1980s video camera to lend "Swang" a throwback feel.
In addition to cutting loose on the links, Rae Sremmurd and their friends drive around in golf carts remade to look like mini Range Rovers. It's the ultimate way to "swang" the club. Watch the explicit video
here.
"My first concert was Bon Jovi's 'Keep The Faith Tour.' I was 9 years old and it changed my life. To be asked to share the stage with Jon and the boys at the Forum is absolutely surreal."

The superstar looked stunning in a red gown and sang the vocal without any trouble, although perhaps she was a little more reserved than usual. Carey has been promoting the song (she's not usually a regular on live TV) and so far it has been well received by fans and critics.
The song goes for rhythmic adds at radio next week, so her diamond covered fingers are surely crossed for programmers to give it a spin. Watch the performance
here.
"I have worked with @KeshaRose and she is a wonderful, talented, funny and beautiful human being with a golden heart," he wrote on Twitter. 'I support and love her."
