    A collaboration between Ed Sheeran and Arijit Singh is not entirely new for music lovers

    A collaboration between Ed Sheeran and Arijit Singh is not entirely new for music lovers. The two have previously shared the stage, giving fans a glimpse of their musical chemistry. But their latest association has taken things a step further. While the announcement surprised many, Ed has explained that the collaboration was actually the result of a conversation with Shah Rukh Khan several years ago. Sharing the backstory on Instagram on Tuesday evening, he revealed how a casual suggestion from the superstar eventually turned into his first Bollywood playback assignment. Ed wrote that when he first met Shah Rukh, the actor told him he must make a song to be in his next movie and that it would also be his first Bollywood song. He said they have gotten to know each other over the years and that he loves him. He explained that the last time he was in India, he went to Shah Rukh's house to get him to shoot a cameo in the Sapphire music video for him and Arijit Singh. He said that Shah Rukh introduced him to Sachin-Jigar that day and that he wrote and recorded his verse for Tu Mil Jaaye for his movie King that night. He added that he loves that Arijit is singing on it with him too, calling it all his favourite people on one project. He noted that King is out December 24th and that Tu Mil Jaaye is out everywhere now. Ed's connection with the Bollywood superstar goes beyond this film. In March 2024, Shah Rukh and his family welcomed the singer to their Mumbai residence, Mannat, during his India visit. Their association continued to grow, eventually bringing Ed in contact with composer duo Sachin-Jigar. What followed was an impromptu recording session for Tu Mil Jaaye. The first musical release from King has made an impressive start. With Sheeran, Arijit and Madhubanti Bagchi sharing vocal duties, Tu Mil Jaaye crossed 36.3 million YouTube views in just 24 hours. Its combined view count across digital platforms has reportedly surpassed 60 million. However, the song has also generated conversations beyond its musical appeal. The on-screen pairing of Shah Rukh and Deepika Padukone has caught viewers' attention, with several social media users comparing the visuals to their previous films Pathaan and Jawan. Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 24. Its first official promotional asset hints at a dark thriller. The film brings together an ensemble featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi and Rani Mukerji, among others.

    Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez have officially made their red carpet debut as a couple, m

    The two first gave signs of a romantic reconciliation back in June, when Grande changed the lyrics to her song 'thank u, next' during a performance. Instead of singing the original line 'wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh,' she sang 'wrote some songs about Ricky, and they still kinda slap.' Later on, the former couple was photographed together, fueling speculation that they had rekindled their romance. They continued to be spotted together throughout the summer, until Grande seemingly confirmed the relationship by including Alvarez in an Instagram photo dump in August. Most recently, Grande broke up with her controversial boyfriend of three years, Ethan Slater, in June. Slater's wife and the mother of his young son, Lilly Jay, was reportedly blindsided by the relationship. A source said at the time that the situation was horrible, noting that the two were high school sweethearts and that they have a baby together, adding that she was a wreck over the situation. Before her relationship with Slater, Grande had dated a number of public figures, including Pete Davidson, Mac Miller, Big Sean, and Nathan Sykes. The reunion between Grande and Alvarez has delighted fans who remember their original romance, which was immortalized in the lyrics of 'thank u, next,' and the couple's red carpet appearance together signals that their relationship has come full circle a decade after they first parted ways.

    Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez looked like love's young dream as they made their red car

    Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez looked like love's young dream as they made their red carpet debut. The 33-year-old pop singer whipped fans into a frenzy in August when she confirmed she and dancer Ricky had rekindled their romance. The pair made their relationship public with a string of pictures shared on social media. Ariana and Ricky dated from 2015 to 2016. But after their split, it seemed as though there was no way back for the couple. On her 2019 song, Thank U, Next, Ariana sings: 'Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh.' But since rekindling their romance, she has altered the lyrics for live performances, including: 'We always find our way back.' To see more of the stories you love from The Mirror and to find them easily in Google, make us your preferred source.

The singer looked as glamorous as ever, wearing a grey vintage Badgley Mischka dress from the Nineties, complete with spaghetti straps, a low neckline and a figure-hugging bodice, decorated with floral embellishments. Meanwhile, Ricky looked smart in a black blazer, which he completed with a white shirt, dark jeans and a pair of brown shoes. During their arrival on the red carpet, the couple posed for photographs before sharing a kiss with one another. Ricky also took to his Instagram Story to share a selfie with Ariana as they made their way to the premiere. Captioning the post, which saw Ariana flashing a huge smile, he penned: 'Seeing a movie,' alongside a white heart emoji. Ariana was joined by her fellow cast members at the event at the Beacon Theatre in New York, including Owen Wilson, Chris Redd, Eduardo Franco and Beanie Feldstein. Prior to Ariana and Ricky confirming their relationship, a source said she had 'always considered' him a friend after their split. 'She's not held ill will against him. Ricky is dependable, trustworthy and very supportive,' they said. The source went on to add: 'Ariana feels she can be herself around Ricky. They have a similar, smart, dry sense of humour. They're not jumping into anything serious right away, but Ari is happy to have him back in her life. Ricky has always been a friend and confidant. He has such great, positive energy, makes her laugh, and she enjoys spending time with him.' Their outing comes just months after Ariana told fans she would be taking a break from public life following intense scrutiny of her appearance. She also pulled out of the upcoming London stage production of Stephen Sondheim's musical Sunday in the Park with George. A spokesperson for Ariana said in August: 'Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour. She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.'

    Canadian singer Shawn Mendes' call to "Free Palestine" has split his fanbase, drawing sha

    Canadian singer Shawn Mendes' call to 'Free Palestine' has split his fanbase, drawing sharp rebukes from some who question his grasp of the conflict and praise from others who applaud his willingness to speak out. The 28-year-old posted the message of solidarity with Palestine on Instagram on Thursday, addressing his 68.4 million followers and calling for an end to the killing of civilians. 'There is a genocide happening before our eyes,' Mendes wrote, adding that children and families in Palestine had suffered for too long and needed help. In the post, the 'Treat You Better' singer said he had been educating himself about the issue to understand how he could make a difference. He also shared links to organisations accepting donations for humanitarian assistance. Mendes acknowledged that speaking out could be frightening, particularly for fellow artists, but urged them to use their platforms to push for change. He called on followers to donate, educate themselves, encourage others, challenge those in power and vote. His remarks, however, drew criticism from some followers. Several questioned his understanding of the conflict, with one pointing to the ceasefire and disputing his use of the term 'genocide'. Others accused him of speaking about an issue beyond his knowledge. The American broadcaster Fox News reported that Mendes also received considerable support, with fans thanking him for raising his voice and praising his decision to speak out. This is not the first time Mendes has addressed Palestine. He performed at the Artists for Aid Palestine event in Los Angeles in January and spoke about the situation during a concert in Portugal last year. The singer also condemned antisemitism while expressing heartbreak over the situation in Palestine, as reported by the Times of Israel.

    Canadian singer-songwriter and musician Shawn Mendes shared a public statement on Instagra

    Canadian singer-songwriter and musician Shawn Mendes shared a public statement on Instagram calling for a 'Free Palestine' and stating that there is a 'genocide happening before our eyes' in Gaza. The statement was shared on Instagram on Thursday, November 12. 'The senseless killing in Gaza must stop. The children and families in Palestine have suffered for far too long, and they need our help,' Mendes wrote. The Grammy-nominated musician went on to say that he's been 'working on educating myself and learning as much as I can to understand where and how I can make a difference,' encouraging everyone to contribute to organisations such as the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Watermelon Pictures and the Woven Futures Fund. He also requested his 'fellow artists' and admitted how 'scary' it can be 'to speak up.' 'I feel it now as I type this,' the Billboard Hot 100-topping musician added. 'I also feel the need to do something to help. The more of us that use our voice, the closer we are to change. If you agree, please search your heart, find your courage and do what you can to help. These children in Palestine have had to be brave for too long. It's our turn to do the same now.' Mendes has joined a growing number of celebrities speaking out in support of Palestinians. Stars like Olivia Rodrigo, Susan Sarandon, Mark Ruffalo, and Dua Lipa have spoken out against the killings in Gaza, and Macklemore recently played three arena shows on his Free Palestine Tour with guests including Hozier and Kneecap. According to Gaza's Health Ministry and the Associated Press, more than 74,000 people have died in Israel's war against Hamas over the past three years, following the militant group's attack that killed about 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023. Although a ceasefire was arranged in October 2025, Reuters reported on Thursday that Israel has continued attacking Hamas, which still has its weapons, resulting in 1,600 more Palestinian deaths. The United Nations has called Israel's actions a genocide against Palestinians, though Israel and its allies, including the United States, reject this claim.

    Fans are hoping to see Taylor Swift at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on November 15 to watch Travi

    Fans are hoping to see Taylor Swift at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on November 15 to watch Travis Kelce and the Chiefs, but she has not attended a road game since the 2024 season, and she has stayed away from away games for security reasons. Kelce is looking to have another big game after a historic performance last week. During the Chiefs' 35-12 win over the New York Jets, he led the team with 72 receiving yards and scored a rushing touchdown, which was his 108th career score. The 37-year-old made NFL history by moving past Rob Gronkowski for third all-time in total touchdowns by a tight end. Swift is also having a wildly successful week. In addition to announcing that she will perform live at the 60th annual CMA Awards on November 18, the pop star learned that she will receive The Hollywood Reporter's prestigious Sherry Lansing Leadership Award during its annual Women in Entertainment breakfast gala next month. In the meantime, Swift's Oscar campaign continues for the song she wrote for the 'Toy Story 5' soundtrack, titled 'I Knew It, I Knew You.' While speaking at the Critics' Choice press conference on November 13, she shared a poignant statement about infusing her personal life into her songs. A lot has happened in Swift's life over the past several years, but marrying Kelce in front of over 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden stands out as a major milestone. Swift has not shied away from writing about her romance with Kelce, and several songs off 'The Life of a Showgirl,' such as 'Wood,' 'The Fate of Ophelia,' 'Opalite,' and the most recent encore track, 'Cleveland!' have clear messages about their relationship. However, when it came to writing a song for the beloved 'Toy Story' character Jessie, Swift shared conflicting feelings, as reported by Fresh Fiction's Courtney Howard. She said that in one way there is more pressure, because you really want to get it right for this character you love and especially because you want to honor the film you have adored for so long. But she said that in another way there is a pressure release valve of not having to write about her personal life and being able to participate in a story she wasn't just watching unfold. However, Swift drew from her personal life while crafting the song with producer Jack Antonoff. She explained that in terms of the specific type of gratitude, it is something she arrived at recently in her life, and that there is a weight lifted when you realize you don't have to carry that particular thing around anymore. She said it took her a while to learn how to release certain things from the load you drag around, and that she happened to see the movie at the perfect time to write this. The 14-time Grammy winner opened up about moving to Nashville at age 14, being the new kid at school, and immediately befriending Abigail Anderson. Swift and Anderson remain best friends. Swift told the crowd in Manhattan that the two of them, all they wanted to do was talk in 'Napoleon Dynamite' voices, and that they still do this. She added that it is something their husbands have to put up with, before doing her best impression. She said that when you find that person who just completely sees you for the strange little genre that is you at your purest, that hit her so hard while watching the film. Emily Bicks covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Bills, Seahawks, and Chiefs. She has contributed to Heavy since 2019 and has interviewed some of the biggest stars in sports, including Jerry Rice, Shaquille O'Neal, and Stefon Diggs.

    Justin Bieber stepped away from huge festival crowds for a much smaller performance in Los

    Justin Bieber stepped away from huge festival crowds for a much smaller performance in Los Angeles. The singer turned up at a local venue on Thursday night. He joined rising British artist Finn Askew during the young musician's set. The brief performance gave fans an up-close moment with the pop star. Page Six reported that Askew performed for nearly 300 people at The Moroccan Lounge, near the Arts District and Little Tokyo. Towards the end of the show, the security guards came closer to the stage. Their presence led fans to wonder whether Bieber had arrived, especially after the two artists recently appeared together on social media. Moments later, Bieber joined Askew, and the crowd quickly filled the room with excited cheers. The pair performed Askew's rising track 'Music all over her body.' Video obtained by the California Post showed Bieber allowing the 25-year-old British singer-songwriter to lead most of the performance. Bieber joined in with background vocals and harmonies while fans cheered. The surprise appearance brought an unexpected guest to an otherwise intimate show. Bieber had also hinted at the collaboration earlier that day. He shared an Instagram post teasing a medium-sized speaker from his Skylrk brand, with Askew's song playing alongside the clip. He also tagged Askew in the caption. Earlier in the week, Askew shared a photo with Bieber and simply called him 'Brother.' Thursday's appearance marked another small Los Angeles performance for Bieber in recent months. In September, he staged an informal show at MacArthur Park, where a small crowd gathered as he performed several of his hits. He also gave food and clothing to some of the people experiencing homelessness in the area. His latest stop at The Moroccan Lounge once again brought him close to fans in a far smaller setting than a major festival stage.
