Pentatonix says Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be "a lot different this year"

Jabari JacobsPentaonix is one of the many acts who'll be performing at this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it won't look like parades of the past.
Asked what their performance will look like Thursday in New York City, a cappella group admitted, "We don't totally know yet."
"I know we're not we're not, like, going to be going around the block," said member Scott Hoying. "Like, they're not doing the whole parade thing. It's just, like, all in front of Macy's."
Scott's right: This year, instead of moving down Broadway in front of thousands of cheering spectators, most of the action will be centered right in front of Macy's flagship New York City store. There will be floats and balloons, but they won't be moving around too much.
"And I think we actually -- I don't know this for sure, but I think we just walk out, perform and then walk off," Scott laughed. "I think that's it. So, yeah, it's a lot different because of COVID this year for sure."
According to Macy's, at some point, the group will be standing in front of, or on, the Hallmark Heartwarming Holiday Countdown float. No word yet on what they'll sing, but it'll probably be something from their new holiday album, We Need a Little Christmas.
Other performers at the parade this year include Goo Goo Dolls, Jordin Sparks, Patti LaBelle, Dolly Parton, Bebe Rexha, Tori Kelly, Ally Brooke, Darlene Love, country stars Lauren Alaina and Brett Young, and the casts of hit Broadway musicals like Hamilton, Jagged Little Pill, Ain't Too Proud -- The Life and Times of The Temptations and Mean Girls.
The fun starts at 9 a.m. ET in all time zones on NBC.

Dua Lipa books 'SNL'; snags Elton John as special Studio 2054 guest

ABCFresh off six Grammy nominations, Dua Lipa’s hot streak continues.

The singer has just been announced as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on December 19, joining Kristen Wiig, who is hosting. Dua previously made her SNL debut in 2018.

Not only that, but Dua scored a major get for her upcoming Studio 2054 livestream concert event: Elton John.

“It’s my absolute pleasure and honor to announce Elton John will be joining me at Studio 2054 this Friday,” Dua says in a statement. “A one of a kind global musical icon, singer-songwriter, and flawless performer, it’s going to be spectacular! He is truly musical royalty and I am elated that we will be appearing together.”

Elton adds in a statement of his own, “I loved speaking to Dua when we met up to talk on Instagram Live a few weeks ago, she is incredibly smart and talented. So when she asked me to be part of Studio 2054, I said ‘Yes!’ in a heartbeat.”

“It’s amazing to be part of a live performance when live music just isn’t happening right now and especially in such a colorful and creative way,” he continues. “If you’re going to do virtual live music then this is the way to do it.”

As previously announced, Studio 2054 will also feature guest appearances from Dua’s “Prisoner” duet partner Miley Cyrus, Kylie Minogue, Bad Bunny and J Balvin. The ticketed online event takes place Friday, November 27.

Watch Shawn Mendes admit to Alicia Keys that his Netflix doc makes him look like "kind of a d**k"

Courtesy NetflixIn a Netflix Movie Club feature, Shawn Mendes and the woman he considers a "mentor," Alicia Keys, discuss their creative processes, as well as Shawn's new song, "Wonder," vulnerability, and Shawn's new Netflix documentary -- which he admits isn't always flattering.
While making the documentary, In Wonder, Shawn explains that even though it was kind of awkward to have a film crew following him around, it was important, because he wanted the director to capture all the moments, both good and bad. And that sometimes gave Shawn more than he bargained for.
"The hard part was editing because when things start coming together, you start seeing the guy on the screen who looks amazing and sounds amazing and seems so caring and loving," Shawn tells Alicia. "But you also see the guy who's kind of a d**k sometimes when he gets scared and gets frustrated -- and you're like, 'Uh, I don't know if I want people to see that guy.'"
Alicia cracks up and responds, "Yeah, so, do you go for it?"
"You just gotta let 'em see it, you have them let them see that vulnerability," Shawn insists. "And that's the point of doing something like that. Otherwise, for me, like, doing documentary would just be to elevate my name and that to me is not a good enough reason to do a documentary."
In Wonder is streaming on Netflix now, along with something that just debuted today: Shawn Mendes: Live in Concert. It documents Shawn's stadium show in his hometown of Toronto.
He wrote on Twitter, "Wanted to give you guys something as a thank you for all of the love on the doc. I know we all miss live shows so much right now so tonight we're releasing #LiveInConcert, the full concert film from the Rogers Centre."

Katherine Heigl (and her fans) are shocked(!) to learn what Harry Styles' "Watermelon Sugar" is about

Erskine/ColumbiaIf you've been singing along to Harry Styles' number-one hit, "Watermelon Sugar," for the past year and you don't know what it's actually about, then brace yourself. Former Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl and her fans just found out and -- well, it's pretty awkward.
The actress posted a video of her husband, singer/songwriter Josh Kelley, and two of their kids doing a dance to the song, in front of a huge TV playing the "Watermelon Sugar" video. One fan wrote in the comments, "Oh no, this song is about [a specific sex act] but the kids don’t need to know that."
A shocked Heigl wrote back, "the kids??!! What about me??!! I thought it was a random slightly chaotic song about watermelons and sugar and...well hell I have no idea what I thought the song was about but [that specific sex act] never once crossed my mind...I guess Harry and I have different adjectives to describe the experience."
Many other fans then commented that they also were unaware of the song's meaning, with one writing, "I didn’t know either...my son and I sing this song in the car all the time."
It's worth noting, however, that Harry himself has never declared what the song is about, though if you read the lyrics and watch the video, it's pretty obvious. For what it's worth, Harry has said the title was inspired by a 1968 novel called In Watermelon Sugar, which has also been referenced in a number of other books and songs.

Taylor Swift confirms mystery co-writer on 'folklore' is boyfriend Joe Alwyn

Disney+Fans guessed it, but now it’s confirmed: Taylor Swift’s mystery collaborator on folklore was none other than her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn.

The singer confirmed in her new Disney+ concert film out today, folklore: the long pond studio sessions, that “William Bowery” -- listed as a co-writer on the songs “exile” and “betty” -- is a pseudonym for Joe.

“So, William Bowery is Joe, as we know,” Taylor says. “And Joe plays piano beautifully, and he’s just always playing and making things up and kind of creating things.”

She continues, “‘Exile’ was crazy because Joe had written that entire piano part and was singing the Bon Iver part. He was just singing it, the way that the whole first verse is. So I was entranced and asked if we could keep writing that one. It was pretty obvious that it should be a duet because he’s got such a low voice and it sounded really good sung down there in that register.”

Taylor also detailed his contributions to the song “betty.”

“I just heard Joe singing the entire fully formed chorus of ‘betty’ from another room and it was just like, ‘Hello’. It was a step that we would have never taken because why would we have ever written a song together?” she said.
“So this was the first time we had a conversation where I came in and was like ‘Hey, this could be really weird and we could hate this, so because we’re in quarantine and there’s nothing else going on, could we just try and see what it’s like if we write this song together?’”
Turns out it was a success. Less of a success was keeping his identity a secret -- fans pretty much figured out the pseudonym right away.

Mariah Carey reflects on singing "When You Believe" with Whitney Houston

ABC/Image Group LAMariah Carey is dispelling the rumors once and for all concerning her supposed rivalry with the late Whitney Houston.
Speaking to supermodel Naomi Campbell Tuesday on No Filter, the "Fantasy" singer touched upon the time she and Houston lent their voices to The Prince of Egypt soundtrack. Their duet, "When You Believe," went on to win the 1999 Academy Award for Best Song.
22 years after hitting the recording studio together, Carey happily discussed just how well she got on with the "Greatest Love of All" singer.
"She and I had the best time," she attested. "People didn’t expect us to get along."
The 50-year-old singer says those who thought the two personalities would clash "didn’t know me."
Continued Mariah, "Anyone who knew us both was like, 'Oh they're gonna totally get along,'" which is exactly what happened.
"I really appreciate her giving her spirit and her giving of herself with me because she didn’t have to be like that," The multi-Grammy Award winner shared. "She was there before me and I totally get who she was and what she meant to this world."
Carey went onto reveal the last time she and Houston saw each other, which was at a party thrown by Prince Azim of Brunei.
In the singer's memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, which came out in September, Carey claims that "everybody wanted to pit us against each other in some 'battle of the divas.'"
Calling the tactic a "tired but pervasive pathology in music and Hollywood that makes women compete for sales like emotional UFC fighters," the singer clarified that the two "developed a real fondness for each other."
"I’ll always cherish the memory of that time and of all that she left behind," she added, calling their time together "pure fun."
