Grammy Award winning international artist Miley Cyrus has revealed that her eagerly awaited tenth studio record, Bass Persuades, will arrive through Atlantic Records on September 18.
Together with the album news, the multiplatinum singer and songwriter announced her return to performing with two headline concerts at Los Angeles' iconic Hollywood Bowl on October 16 and October 18.
Photographer Mert Alas worked alongside Cyrus to shape the visual identity for Bass Persuades and its surrounding campaign. The announcement comes after the release of a special Wonderland Magazine edition overseen by Cyrus as guest editor, photographed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Chief Creative Officer Alastair McKimm.
As the release approaches, Cyrus continues to celebrate the creative impact of her godmother, Dolly Parton. Their close personal bond and artistic relationship produced several major collaborations over the years, including their work together as hosts of Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party.
American Express cardholders will receive the first opportunity to purchase tickets for the Hollywood Bowl performances on Tuesday, September 8. A presale for Cyrus' fans follows on Wednesday, September 9, before tickets become available to the public through Ticketmaster on Thursday, September 10. Live Nation Hewitt Silva, the venue's exclusive promoter for nonclassical events, is presenting both concerts at the 18,000 capacity amphitheatre.
Cyrus has established herself as one of contemporary music's most adaptable artists by moving confidently between pop, rock, country and soul. After earning the 2024 Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance with "Flowers," she secured another honour in 2025, winning Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Beyoncé.
Away from music, Cyrus remains dedicated to charitable work through the Happy Hippie Foundation, which she established to assist LGBTQ+ young people, as well as the Miley Cyrus Foundation. Bass Persuades can now be preordered and presaved through leading digital services ahead of its September 18 arrival.
Katseye have withdrawn from Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields festival just two days before the event begins.
The group revealed that vocalist Megan Meiyok Skiendiel had injured her ankle, leaving them unable to take the stage.
Sharing an update through Instagram, the band wrote, "We're so incredibly sorry to share that we are unable to perform at Daisy Chain Fields this Saturday.
"Megan sprained her ankle yesterday during tour rehearsal and after being evaluated by doctors, she has been advised to stay off it and allow it to properly heal so we can be ready for our upcoming tour. We know how much our fans were looking forward to seeing us, and it breaks our hearts to disappoint anyone who made plans to be there."
The first Daisy Chain Fields will be held in Irvine, California, on Saturday, with Rodrigo leading a lineup entirely made up of female artists. Chappell Roan, Doechii, Rachel Chinouriri, The Breeders, Garbage, Stevie Nicks, Karen O and Sarah McLachlan are also scheduled to appear. Every dollar raised will go toward organisations assisting women and girls.
"We were especially excited for Daisy Chain Fields because it's not just about music, but the greater mission of joy and community," Katseye’s message continued.
"We're sending all our love to Olivia and to all of the incredible artists, non-profit organisations and volunteers who have given their time to make this day so special."
The cancellation is another challenge for the act. Sophia announced in August 2025 that she was pausing her group commitments to concentrate on her mental health. Manon then began her own hiatus in February, reducing Katseye’s active lineup to four members.
Alternative pop singer and songwriter Devon Again will replace the group on the Daisy Chain Fields bill.
Jelly Roll has mocked President Donald Trump by referring to him as a “fat pig”.
The Grammy winner shared several jokes while guest hosting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on Monday evening, including a remark that the weight he has lost in recent years equals an “entire Donald Trump”.
During his opening monologue, Jelly Roll, whose birth name is Jason Bradley DeFord, noted reports that the 80 year old president had recently gained weight and was “now tipping the scales at almost 240”.
“In the last few years I've lost 300lbs,” the 41 year old singer said. “That means I've lost an entire Donald Trump.”
The country rap musician continued, “And let's be honest, based on his approval ratings, it seems like most of the country wants to do the same thing”, prompting loud applause from the studio audience.
Jelly Roll then showed a compilation of Trump making fun of people’s weight, including clips in which he called former New Jersey governor Chris Christie “a fat pig” and “a big fat slob”. The singer described the comments as an example of “the pot calling the kettle fat”.
The ‘Save Me’ performer ended the segment by making a lighthearted joke about himself.
“Well, Mr President, from one fat pig to another, take it from me that physical fitness is very important,” Jelly Roll said.
He continued targeting Trump by joking about the president’s “s**t job” waving the starting flag at the NTT IndyCar Series Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, DC, last Saturday. Footage showed Trump handling the green flag in a way that some viewers considered awkward.
“The president seemed to enjoy the IndyCar race, which was a real switch-up for him,” Jelly Roll joked, “because normally he only likes his own race.”
Jelly Roll is among six guest presenters selected to take over the late night programme during its summer break. The lineup also includes comedians Rosie O’Donnell, Tiffany Haddish, Anthony Anderson and Ike Barinholtz, along with actor and playwright Colman Domingo.
French DJ HUGEL is making a strong push for the Number 1 position on the UK Official Singles Chart with "Movin’ To The Sun", putting him in competition with Sam Fender and Olivia Dean, according to the latest Official Chart First Look update.
The track is currently sitting at Number 2 based on early sales and streaming figures, with the summer hit hoping to knock "Rein Me In" from the top after the song spent nine weeks in a row at Number 1.
Elsewhere, Irish rock band Fontaines D.C. are heading towards their highest ever position on the UK singles chart with "Marianne". The song is currently at Number 15 after the group revealed details of their fifth studio album, Dopamine Chamber, which is due to arrive in October 2026. If it holds its position, the track would become their second Top 40 single following 2025's "It’s Amazing To Be Young."
A little further down the chart, a special 7 inch vinyl edition has helped "These Alarms", the Snow Patrol and Kylie Minogue collaboration, climb to Number 21 and puts it in line for a possible Top 40 debut. Calvin Harris's "Satisfy" featuring Jazzy has jumped 40 places to Number 18 and is currently aiming for its first appearance on the main chart, while Sonny Fodera and Becky Hill's "Say Something" is sitting at Number 38.
A number of other songs are also heading towards new career bests in the Top 10. Stella Lefty’s "Boston" remains at Number 3, while Sienna Spiro has two songs among the leading positions, with "Great Expectation" at Number 6 and "Die On This Hill" arriving at Number 10. Sheffield producer Silva Bumpa has moved up to Number 8 with "On 2nite", while Malcolm Todd’s "Earrings" is currently at Number 13 and Alyssa Grace’s "bloodstream" sits at Number 16.
The complete Official Singles Chart Top 100 will be announced on Friday.
Lady Gaga has successfully fought off a trademark lawsuit brought by the owners of a surfboard company over the name of her album Mayhem.
The owners of Lost Surfboards, which sells a range of boards carrying the Mayhem name, took legal action against the pop star shortly after the album was released in March 2025.
They argued that Gaga’s use of the name and logo could confuse customers and lead them to believe there was a business relationship between the album and the surfboard brand.
On Tuesday, however, Judge Fernando M. Olguin dismissed the lawsuit, finding that the claims were not strong enough to proceed.
"These allegations are conclusory and insufficient to constitute an explicit indication, overt claim, or explicit misstatement identifying Lost as the source of Lady Gaga's work," the judge wrote in his decision, obtained by Billboard. "The use of a mark alone is not enough... and nothing in the (lawsuit) suggests or otherwise indicates an affirmative misrepresentation in connection with the source or the content of Lady Gaga's work."
The judge also pointed out that creative works, including album titles, are protected under the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. He determined that listeners were unlikely to assume that the name of an album represented an endorsement or connection with another company.
When the lawsuit was filed last year, Lost’s owners accused Gaga of showing a "blatant disregard" for their trademark protections and claimed the red stylised Mayhem logo used by the singer was too close to their own branding.
Gaga’s legal team pushed back in a motion seeking dismissal, calling the lawsuit "a transparent attempt to extract leverage and publicity from the expressive use of a common dictionary word by one of the world's most recognisable artists".
Her lawyers also pointed out that Lost’s owners were unable to "identify a single confused consumer" who believed there was a connection between the surfboard company and Gaga’s Mayhem project.
Gaga had already secured an earlier win in the dispute in December, when Judge Olguin denied Lost’s request to prevent her from selling merchandise featuring the Mayhem branding.
The owners of Lost Surfboards can still challenge the latest decision by filing an appeal.
