Super Bowl weekend will take on a whole new meaning this year — thanks to R&B and Pop Superstar The Weeknd, who’s just been tabbed to headline the halftime show at Super Bowl 55.
The “Blinding Lights” singer will take the stage of Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium when the big game goes down on February 7th. He says, “We all grow up watching the world’s biggest acts playing the Super Bowl and one can only dream of being in that position. I’m humbled, honored and ecstatic to be the center of that infamous stage this year.”
This marks the second year of a halftime show partnership between the NFL and Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation. Last year’s teaming of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira generated a lot of positive reviews — and a lot of controversy over the content. (Time)
A previously unreleased Britney Spears track has showed up at stylish clothing store Urban Outfitters.
“Swimming in the Stars” is exclusively available as a 12-inch vinyl single at the retailer as part of Wednesday’s 11/11 Singles Day. The single won’t be released to digital and streaming platforms until November 27th.
Other tracks in the series that are available through Urban Outfitters online and retail outlets include Billie Eilish‘s “Everything I Wanted,” Demi Lovato‘s “I Love Me” and “Still Have Me,” Jonas Brothers‘ “X” and Shawn Mendes‘s new song, “Wonder.”
The single’s release comes a day after Britney’s attorney said in court that she “will not perform again” if her father, Jamie Spears, continues to head the conservatorship put in place in 2008.
