Bad Bunny and Apple Music released the official trailer for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. In the trailer, Bad Bunny and Apple Music invite the world to dance at the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The trailer was shot entirely in Puerto Rico and features Bad Bunny dancing under the iconic Puerto Rican Flamboyant tree, which is a powerful symbol of the island’s pride and identity. The film serves as an open invitation, welcoming the world, no matter who you are or where you are from, to join Bad Bunny for his Super Bowl Halftime performance.

Happy early birthday to Dolly Parton!

Hilary Duff has released the second single from her highly anticipated new album, luck… or something, arriving February 20. She co-wrote the new single “Roommates” with her husband Matthew Koma. Hilary shared, “Roommates is a song about when life is life-ing, babe. It’s that ache for a wilder, freer time – before the days were swallowed by carpools, budget talks, grocery runs and letting old or new insecurities slip in. It’s the restless hum of wanting to find your way back – to your rhythm, to your person, to yourself.”
