In an anniversary post marking the occasion, the singer shared previously unseen footage from the couple’s September 2024 wedding in Louisiana. The clips offered a closer look at the intimate ceremony, including moments with family and friends as the couple celebrated their marriage.

Del Rey and Dufrene tied the knot near the Louisiana bayou, where he works as an airboat captain. Their relationship drew public attention shortly before the wedding, although the two had known each other for years.

The anniversary footage gives fans a more personal view of a relationship the singer has largely kept away from the spotlight. Rather than making the milestone a major public event, Del Rey focused on memories from the day itself.

The celebration comes as Del Rey continues balancing her personal life with her music career. Her anniversary post offered a brief look at an important chapter outside the studio and stage.

As part of a newly announced collaboration tied to the Madrid performance, the concert will stream globally beginning at 2:45 p.m. ET and 11:45 a.m. PT in the United States, or 8:45 p.m. CEST in Spain. Viewers will be able to watch the show through several digital platforms without needing a subscription.

The Madrid livestream arrives as Shakira continues the international run of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. The Colombian superstar has built the show around music from across her career, including material from her latest album alongside longtime fan favorites.

The wider campaign also includes projects celebrating women in Latin music. Additional plans include a new Dai Dai remix and a special vinyl release commemorating the 25th anniversary of Shakira’s Laundry Service album.

An initiative involving her Pies Descalzos Foundation will also support AI and cloud computing training opportunities for women across Latin America.

During her acceptance speech for The Fate of Ophelia, Swift called Parton the ultimate showgirl and highlighted the qualities that made her such an enduring figure in music. She praised Parton’s songwriting, storytelling, gratitude, and connection with fans. The dedication came following Parton’s death in August 2026 at age 80.

Swift also had a major night of her own. She received the inaugural Artist Director Honors and won Best Direction for Opalite. She also premiered the music video for Patient Zero during the ceremony.

Those victories brought Swift’s career total to 33 VMAs, making her the most awarded artist in the history of the event.

Parton’s legacy was recognized elsewhere during the ceremony as well. Kacey Musgraves performed I Will Always Love You as part of a separate tribute celebrating Parton’s music and lasting influence.

The casting announcement confirms Carpenter will play Ginger Rogers opposite Tom Holland as Astaire. Margaret Qualley is also part of the cast, taking the role of Adele Astaire, Fred’s older sister and early dance partner.

The still-untitled project will be directed by Paul King and draws from Kathleen Riley’s biography The Astaires: Fred & Adele. The story is expected to explore the successful stage partnership between Fred and Adele before Astaire established himself as a Hollywood star.

Carpenter’s role brings her into the story as Rogers, whose partnership with Astaire became one of the most recognizable in classic Hollywood. The pair appeared together in a series of celebrated musical films during the 1930s.

For Carpenter, the project also represents a notable return to feature-film acting as her music career continues to reach a global audience.

A release date for the Fred Astaire biopic has not yet been announced.

At the September 27 ceremony, organizers announced Madonna as the night’s leading winner with seven awards. Her victories included Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter for Bring Your Love, and Best Dance for Confessions II – The Film. She also opened the VMAs for a record fifth time, returning to the show as a performer for the first time in 23 years.

Taylor Swift had a historic night of her own. The ceremony named her the first recipient of the Artist Director Honors, recognizing her work as a director and visual storyteller.

Swift also won Video of the Year for The Fate of Ophelia and Best Direction for Opalite. Those competitive victories brought her career total to 32 VMAs.

Elsewhere, Nirvana received the Video Vanguard Award, while Sienna Spiro was named Best New Artist.

Billboard announced the new chart result after Danceteria moved from No. 6 to the top position. The song recorded a 34% increase in plays at dance radio during the September 18–24 tracking period, giving Madonna her 10th No. 1 on the chart.

The achievement also continues the momentum behind Confessions II. Danceteria is the third song from the album to reach No. 1 on Dance Airplay, following I Feel So Free and Love Sensation.

With 10 chart-toppers, Madonna becomes the fifth artist in the history of the Dance Airplay ranking to reach double-digit No. 1 hits.

Danceteria has also expanded through additional versions, including a Harry Romero remix and Danceteria Afterhours featuring Charli xcx. The releases have kept the track active across dance formats while extending the album’s presence at radio.

The release was announced as a continuation of the album’s original run, adding “Patient Zero,” “Pink Clouding,” “Babylon,” and “Cleveland!” to the project. The new material was created after Swift reunited in Sweden with longtime collaborators Max Martin and Shellback, following the success of the original album.

The sessions gave the trio another opportunity to write and record together, resulting in songs that extend the world of The Life of a Showgirl rather than replacing or reshaping the original release.

The encore edition arrives as Swift continues building on the album’s strong commercial performance. Multiple versions of “Patient Zero” have also been made available, giving listeners different takes on one of the newly added tracks.

With four fresh recordings, the expanded release gives fans more music connected to the same creative period while keeping the focus firmly on the original album and its collaborators.

Billboard highlighted the song’s latest chart movement as Nicole Kidman jumped from No. 45 to No. 22 on the Hot 100, supported by a sharp increase in U.S. streaming activity. The rise puts the track ahead of the early performance of Ain’t In LA and signals growing interest in ADÉLA’s music.

Social media has also played a major role in the song’s expansion. Nicole Kidman has gained traction across TikTok and Instagram Reels, where clips, dance videos, and fan posts have helped introduce the track to a wider audience. Its official music video has also attracted millions of views.

The song has received an added boost from Nicole Kidman herself, who has publicly shown support for ADÉLA and attended one of the singer’s Nashville performances.

With streaming, social engagement and chart activity moving together, Nicole Kidman is becoming a notable breakout moment for ADÉLA.

Speaking about the collaboration, Johnson explained that working with friends can sometimes be complicated, but that was not the case with Swift. She described their professional dynamic positively and suggested that their existing friendship made it easier to work together on the project.

The Patient Zero video also features actor Colin Farrell, adding another major name to the cast. A short teaser for the project shows Swift, Johnson and Farrell in a dark, cinematic setting, with imagery that includes a cemetery and a gravestone.

The full music video is set to premiere during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on September 27. The project brings Johnson and Swift together professionally after years of friendship, giving fans a new look at their creative connection beyond their personal relationship.

During the September 23 performance, Kravitz was seen dancing in the crowd as Styles performed Adore You. Video from the evening showed the veteran rocker moving to the music while taking in the show with Zoë, who is engaged to Styles.

At one point during the performance, Styles appeared to notice the pair in the audience and flashed a peace sign in their direction. Zoë responded to the moment while her father continued dancing.

The appearance offered a lighthearted glimpse of the musicians spending time together during Styles’ New York run. Kravitz, known for hits including Are You Gonna Go My Way and Fly Away, has remained active as a performer while Zoë has built her own career in film, television, and music.

Styles’ Madison Square Garden performances are part of his latest stretch of live appearances.
