Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s Glamorous Parisian Week Takes an Unexpected Turn at Elysee Palace

 

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have been on a whirlwind adventure during Paris Fashion Week, and their latest rendezvous might just be the talk of the town. The dynamic duo found themselves at Elysee Palace, meeting with none other than French President Emmanuel Macron.

This power couple has been turning heads throughout the week, with Rihanna making a striking appearance at the Christian Dior show and later stealing the spotlight alongside Rocky in a fashion-forward ensemble that had everyone talking. However, the real buzz started when fans sought an explanation from Rihanna’s hairstylist, turning the pair’s fashion escapades into a trending topic online.

But the plot thickens with their meeting with President Macron. While it’s Rocky’s first official encounter with the French leader, Rihanna has a history with him, having sat down twice in the past to discuss educational initiatives close to her heart. The purpose behind their latest visit remains shrouded in mystery, leaving fans intrigued.

As the week unfolded, Rihanna found herself at the center of pregnancy rumors, sparked by nothing more than the singer’s fashion choices, particularly outfits covering her stomach. Speculations ran wild with each new fashion week picture, fueling discussions about the possibility of a third child.

It’s worth noting that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky welcomed their second child, Riot, just last year, surprising fans with the announcement during her highly-anticipated Super Bowl Halftime show performance. This marked their second child together after the birth of son RZA in 2022. Amidst jokes about Rihanna’s prolonged wait for a new studio album, fans had hoped for a release tied to last year’s Super Bowl show.

Now, with the unexpected twist of a meeting with President Macron, the couple’s Parisian escapade takes on a whole new level of glamour and intrigue. What are your thoughts on Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s rendezvous with the French President during Paris Fashion Week? Share your opinions in the comments below!

The Jonas Brothers Just Played Halftime At The NFL’s First-Ever Game In Australia

The NFL played its first-ever regular season game on Australian soil Friday, and the league handed the halftime slot to a band that knows a thing or two about stadium-sized nostalgia: the Jonas Brothers. At the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers on the field, the trio ran through a medley built for a crowd that grew up on them — “Burnin’ Up,” “Sucker,” “Year 3000,” and their new one, “Listen When Sad.”

They also did something no one was expecting: a cover of John Farnham’s “You’re the Voice,” the 1986 Australian anthem that’s basically a second national song at this point. It’s the kind of move that plays a lot better live in Melbourne than it would’ve on paper. “Playing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of such passionate Australian fans is an incredible honor,” the group said in a statement ahead of the show. “We can’t wait to be part of this historic moment and celebrate with everyone in the stadium and watching around the world.”

The game itself wasn’t close — the 49ers took it 27-7 — but the real story was everything happening around the field. Cody Simpson opened the day singing “Advance Australia Fair,” and the whole event doubled as a launchpad for the Jonas Brothers’ next act: “The Burning Up Tour All Over Again,” kicking off Sept. 25 and running through Dec. 22, a nod to the original Burnin’ Up Tour from nearly two decades back.

That throwback framing isn’t just marketing. “Listen When Sad,” which the band debuted live at Madison Square Garden before Melbourne, pulls from a very specific corner of their teenage years. “We’ve tapped back into a sound that was kind of the sound of the early 2000s,” Nick told the MSG crowd. “Bands like Switchfoot, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional.” They’ve even re-teamed with the producer behind “A Little Bit Longer” and “Lines, Vines and Trying Times” to get it right. No album’s been announced yet, but between the halftime show and the tour, it’s clear they’re not easing into this one quietly.

Harry Styles Is Extending His Tour Into 2027 — And Finally Playing U.S. Stadiums Solo

Harry Styles just told fans that “Together, Together” isn’t done yet. He’s tacking on 25 more stadium dates through 2027 — and this time he’s finally doing something he’s never done before as a solo artist: headlining stadiums in the U.S. and Canada.

The new leg kicks off in Phoenix on April 2 and rolls through Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta and Chicago before jumping to Europe for stops in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Dublin, wrapping with three nights at Wembley Stadium on Aug. 28. Tickets run $60 to $300, but Styles is also rolling out something new: “Unpredictable Fun Tickets,” a batch of $20 seats (£20 or €20, depending on the market) meant to keep the tour accessible, alongside a returning partnership with EARNT that lets fans earn tickets by volunteering in their communities.

Styles broke the news the old-fashioned way, in a newsletter to fans, confirming these are the tour’s “final cities.” “After that, I don’t know what comes next for me,” he wrote, “but I know that I’m excited to find out.” Every stop gets its own opening act, and the lineup is genuinely wild — Kylie Minogue in LA, Tears For Fears in London, LCD Soundsystem in Rome, Lainey Wilson in Toronto, and Caroline Polachek in Paris, among others.

This caps a run that’s already made history: Styles picked up a Guinness World Record in June for the longest residency by a musician at Wembley Stadium, beating out Coldplay’s old mark. The tour is behind his fourth album, “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.,” which debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. If this really is the last lap, he’s making sure it’s the biggest one yet.
