The good news is that Niall Horan has announced North American tour dates. The bad news? They're not till 2027.

Niall's Dinner Party Live on Tour trek, in support of his upcoming album, Dinner Party, will get underway March 17, 2027, in St. Paul, Minnesota. That's St. Patrick's Day, which is appropriate, considering Niall is Irish.

The tour is set to wrap up May 29 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Presales start Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, with tickets going on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time via LiveNation.com. VIP packages will also be available at VIPNation.com.

Prior to 2027, U.S. fans will have two chances to see Niall live: He's playing co-headlining stadium shows with  country superstar Thomas Rhett in Nashville on July 9 and Hershey, Pennsylvania, on July 18. 

Dinner Party is out June 5.

Dua Lipa is suing Samsung Electronics for at least $15 million, alleging the tech giant used her image on television packaging without authorization to help market and sell TVs.

According to a complaint obtained by ABC News and filed in California federal court on Thursday, the Grammy-winning singer accused Samsung of copyright infringement after the company allegedly placed a copyrighted image of her on the front of cardboard television boxes sold at retail stores across the United States.

"Recognizing Ms. Lipa's notoriety and goodwill, Samsung used a copyrighted image of Ms. Lipa...without authority or license and prominently featured it on the front of cardboard boxes containing Samsung manufactured televisions for retail sale," the complaint states.

The lawsuit alleges Samsung ignored repeated demands to stop using the image.

"Samsung has refused to comply with Ms. Lipa's repeated demands that it cease and desist from infringing on her rights by the continued exploitation of the Infringing Products," the filing says. "Samsung's response has been dismissive and callous, and the Infringing Products remain on the market to this day, still being sold throughout the country in ongoing acts of willful infringement."

The image in question was allegedly taken during the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival, according to the complaint.

Lipa's legal team argued the unauthorized use of her likeness helped boost sales of Samsung televisions.

The filing cites one consumer who allegedly wrote they purchased a TV after seeing Lipa featured on the packaging.

The singer's attorneys also said Lipa is highly selective about the brands and partnerships she aligns herself with.

"Ms. Lipa is highly selective in her commercial partnerships and has cultivated a premium brand through carefully curated, high-end sponsorships and endorsements," the complaint states. "Consistent with this deliberate strategy, Plaintiff would not have agreed to license her name, image or likeness in connection with the sale of the Infringing Products."

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Lipa and Samsung Electronics for comment, but did not immediately hear back.

Samsung has not publicly responded to the allegations.

RAYE is currently on top of the world: She's out on her This Tour May Contain New Music headlining trek, and in August, she'll open for Bruno Mars on his stadium tour. In June, she'll receive the prestigious Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. What more could she ask for? Well, maybe a boyfriend.

Speaking to Billboard, the British singer, songwriter and producer says her song "Where Is My Husband!" is more than a hit single: It's sort of her life right now. “It’s been genuinely so many years that it feels alien to me," she says of dating.

"Sometimes I’m very assured and confident and happy with my life, and then some days I’m watching a rom-com, and I’m like, ‘Where? Where?’” she continues. “But it’s not serious. I’m not crying myself to sleep every night — just some nights.”

Perhaps RAYE can console herself with the fact that she's still getting billions of streams, winning awards and topping the charts in her native U.K. as an independent artist. Maybe she can just remember those times when Taylor Swift and SZA threw their support behind her by taking her out on tour in 2024 and 2023, before her current breakthrough.

"I’m just really grateful to all those girls,” RAYE says. “That little time they took to pour into me really affirmed me and made me feel encouraged. Those things can make all the difference.”

Now that Olivia Rodrigo has added 25 additional dates to her sold-out Unraveled World Tour, she's broken some records in the process.

Olivia will now do a 10-show run at Brooklyn's Barclays Center breaking the record of eight nights previously held by Jay-Z. In LA, she'll also do 10 shows, setting a new record that was previously held by herself. She initially set the record when she sold out the first five shows.

In London, Olivia will now be the first ever solo female artist to exceed 10 performances at the O2 arena during a single tour; she'll play that venue for a total of 11 nights. 

And in Barcelona, Spain, Olivia has now become one of only four artists to sell out four nights at the city's Palau Sant Jordi, and one of only two non-Spanish acts to do it, following U2.

Speaking of Barcelona, Liv is there right now, recording a Billions Club Live performance for Spotify. She has nine songs in Spotify's Billions Club, including "vampire," "good 4 u," "drivers license" and "deja vu."

The Unraveled Tour will launch Sept. 25 in Hartford, Connecticut.

Bruno Mars has dropped "Lo Arriesgo Todo," the Spanish version of his song "Risk It All," as well as a lyric video. A 7-inch vinyl is available to preorder with both the Spanish and English versions.

Lewis Capaldi had "the best tour of my life" on his recently wrapped North American trek, so he's released some of his performances from it. A new EP called Live From North America just dropped, featuring four live cuts: 2022's "Pointless," the new song "Stay Love," an updated version of the 2019 song "Hollywood" and the 2022 song "Forget Me." 

Jason Mraz is out with the album Grandma’s Gospel Favorites, which he first recorded in 2007 as a gift for his grandmother. The album includes standards like “Old Rugged Cross” as well as two original songs: “Peach Pie” and “When We Die (You Are Loved)."

Stephen Sanchez is out with his sophomore album Love, Love, Love. The "Until I Found You" singer says, “This album has taught me so much about the way I show love and the way I want to be loved by others, and I hope it can do the same for anyone listening. I really feel like I left a piece of my heart across each of these tracks."

Madison Beer has released a deluxe edition of her album locket, featuring four new tracks: "free," "somehow i got lucky," "locket theme (extended)" and "lovergirl," for which she's also released a video.

Tori Kelly has dropped "Control" and "Dive," two songs from her upcoming album God Must Love Me, due out June 12.  The visualizer for "Dive" features glimpses of her and husband, André Murillo, and their baby son, Zayden Michael Murillo.

Kesha has released a new single called "ORIGAMI!" which the singer says is "a celebration of sex, wherever and with whoever you choose to have it with! It's about embracing freedom and self-love that we all deserve.” Her Freedom Tour kicks off May 23.

Olivia Dean is ruling the charts in the U.S. with "Man I Need" and "So Easy (To Fall in Love)," but back home in the U.K., it's another song that's led to her setting a new chart record.

Olivia joins fellow British singer/songwriter Sam Fender on a duet version of his song "Rein Me In," and that song has just spent a tenth week at #1 on the U.K.'s Official Singles Chart. That means Olivia is now the British female artist who has spent the most weeks at #1 with a single song, ever.

Plus, "Rein Me In" is now tied for the longest-running #1 song by a man and a woman, matching the record set by "Umbrella" by Rihanna and Jay-Z back in 2007.  Sam recently joined Olivia onstage at London's O2 Arena to perform the song with her live.

Olivia just finished up four sold-out nights at the O2. She'll bring her The Art of Loving tour to the U.S. starting July 10 in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, on the U.K. album chart, The Essential Michael Jackson greatest hits compilation has just returned to #1 for the first time in 17 years, thanks to the hit biopic Michael. Two of the late King of Pop's other albums, Thriller and Bad, are both in the top 10.

Noah Kahan is returning to Saturday Night Live this weekend as the musical guest, along with fellow New Englander Matt Damon as the host. In one of the promos, he attempts to set up a collab with Matt Damon, but shuns SNL cast member Ben Marshall, who joins them in the promo.

"This is so exciting," says Kahan. "I've always wanted to do something with Matt and Ben." 

"Oh, thanks so much, man. That's so cool," responds Ben.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I meant Ben Affleck," Noah comments.

"Why would you bring that up now?" Ben asks. "It's the first time I'm seeing Matt," Noah explains. 

"We'd actually love to do something with you," Matt tells Noah. "Hell yeah. Amazing, thank you," says Noah. "Huge fan." Meanwhile, Ben just stands there, looking sad.

In another promo, Ben attempts to make a joke, saying that Noah's appearance on the show is "More like Skit Season!"  As Noah rolls his eyes, Matt admonishes Ben, "It's your first-ever promo, and you blow it on 'Skit Season?'" "Come on, you're better than that, Ben," says Noah.

"Sorry, let me try that again," says Ben, and then offers, "More like Noah Ka-ha-ha-han!"

"Oh, hell yeah," says Matt. "That's good," agrees Noah.

Maybe Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce skipped this year's Met Gala because they were busy packing for a trip to London.

Hello! magazine has photos of the couple stepping out Thursday night to attend the 40th birthday party of Poppy Delevingne, sister of Taylor's longtime pal Cara Delevingne, in London's upscale Marylebone neighborhood. Taylor wore a floral dress with a mint green purse, black coat and strappy stilettos, while Travis wore a dark gray suit over a black crewneck shirt.

People reports that prior to the party, Travis and Taylor had dinner at Gymkhana, the Michelin-starred Indian restaurant, with British cinematographer Rina Yang, who worked with Taylor on projects including her All Too Well short film. The couple also went to see Taylor's pal and All Too Well star Sadie Sink in a production of Romeo & Juliet, which is currently playing in London's West End.

Other celebrities at the party, held at a pub called The Hart, included Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, the daughters of Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew.

Cara Delevigne was also there, as were actresses Isla Fisher and Lily James; Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May Jagger; Elizabeth Hurley's son, Damian Hurley; Paris Hilton's sister, Nicky Hilton Rothschild; and Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark.

You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe: That's what Taylor Swift's lawyers are saying to Maren Wade, a Las Vegas performer whose cabaret show is called Confessions of a Showgirl.

As previously reported, Maren had filed a complaint claiming that Taylor's album The Life of a Showgirl infringes her trademark, which she filed in 2015. She'd requested an injunction barring Taylor from selling any merch while the lawsuit moves through the courts.

But in a filing on Wednesday, obtained by ABC News, Taylor's legal team argues that before she filed her complaint, Maren "repeatedly" attempted to associate herself with Taylor and her album. They provided over 40 examples of Maren's "deliberate attempts to cause association between herself and Ms. Swift and/or the Album ... in a manner seemingly designed to create false association or confusion."

In addition, the team argues that Taylor's album and merch are "expressive works ... protected by the First Amendment," so they can't violate a trademark. 

The legal team says that the "likelihood of confusion" among consumers in the marketplace is unlikely, since Maren's "cabaret productions" are "dissimilar" to "any future musical concerts where Ms. Swift may perform." In other words, fans are unlikely to confuse Maren's shows with a Taylor Swift tour. 

The lawyers also argue that "music -- and in particular Ms. Swift's music" is subject to "a high degree of care," making it so "confusion is unlikely."  That means that fans are deeply invested in Taylor's music, so they wouldn't confuse Maren's output with Taylor's.

So, the lawyers conclude, Maren has "failed to demonstrate a likelihood of confusion or irreparable harm" if Taylor continues to sell The Life of a Showgirl merch, and are asking for her motion to be denied.  A judge will consider the matter at a hearing later this month.

Charli XCX's new era has begun with the release of her single and video "Rock Music" — except it's not really "rock music," despite the presence of some crunchy electric guitars.

In the mostly black-and-white video for the two-minute song, Charli pushes an amplifier out a window and struts around New York City in a bra and jeans. She also smokes a mountain of cigarettes and starts a mosh pit. The video ends with a freeze-frame of her face in close-up, which turns into a wall-size photo that a bunch of moshing guys bust through.

"I think the dance floor is dead/ So now we're making rock music," she jokingly sings, before making fun of the trappings of the genre.

"I'm really banging my head/ I'm really hurting my neck/ The nerve damage is real/ But it's the only way to feel something," she sings.

"Rock Music" is Charli's first new song since she released the album she created for the movie Wuthering Heights in February.

As previously reported, after British Vogue claimed in a recent article that she planned a "rock reinvention," Charli clarified that that wasn't exactly true by sharing a video of her in the studio making this new single. The caption read, "a video of me making a song called 'rock music' that is not actually rock music which is funny because i never said i was making a rock album."

Adam Lambert is coming back with a new album.

ADAM, arriving July 10, is the singer's sixth full-length studio album. It features 12 tracks and is available to presave now. His last full-length release, High Drama, came out in 2023, though he did drop an EP in 2024 called Afters.

ADAM's first single, "EAT U ALIVE," is out now. It's described in a press release as having a "dark, industrial texture that will come to define much of the album." Adam explains that the songs were inspired by "the music that made a formative impact on me in the 90s and early 00’s," including Nine Inch Nails, Björk, Prince, Muse, Daft Punk, George Michael and Massive Attack.

"The album explores both the light and shade of life and the razor’s edge that separates a positive experience from a negative one," he goes on to say. "I hope these songs connect with anyone who has been through the confusing but necessary process of self-acceptance".

"There was a real liberation in acknowledging my own weaknesses and strengths," he concludes. "Accepting the bad and the good all together. Revolutionary for someone who always thought of himself as a perfectionist and Idealist.”

In the last few years, Adam has been spending his time on stage, starring on Broadway in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club and then playing Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, opposite Cynthia Erivo as Jesus.

BILLIE EILISH – HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D), a concert film the Grammy-winning star co-directed with James Cameron, hits theaters Friday, and Billie says she's happy that she and her fans will be able to watch it "forever."

At the LA premiere, Billie told ABC News of the film, "I just feel really, really grateful that it's gonna exist forever, and I'll get to watch this show and this tour that I loved so much, and made so many memories with them, forever."

"I think that's really magical for them to have and for me to have," she continued. "It's just a moment in time captured forever."

Billie also wants her fans to "sing and dance if they want and just have fun" while watching the film. She notes, "It's a concert. It is a movie, but it's a concert."

The Oscar winner was also "really grateful" that a director "as incredibly talented and legendary" as James was "so eager to collaborate with me and listen to my feelings and thoughts and opinions" while working on the project.

As for James, he tells ABC News that initially they were simply going to film a show on Billie's tour. But then, he says, "It got complicated, because then we started trying to tell a story about [Billie's] relationship with her fans ... and what her ... reality is like." As a result, he says, "It kind of grew a little bit."

But throughout, James says he was impressed with "how in control ... of the show and of the process" Billie was while filming. In fact, he says, "I had to keep up with her, and that energy of — I don't want to say perfectionism, because that sounds a bit elitist — but I would say, the pursuit of excellence."

Fans of The Voice won't get a chance to sing "Since U Been Gone" to Kelly Clarkson — because she's coming back next season.

Kelly, Adam Levine and John Legend recently faced off in season 29's Battle of the Champions, which Adam won. Kelly has now been announced as a returning coach for season 30. Adam has also been confirmed as returning for season 30, which will air this fall.

Kelly's schedule should be a little easier to manage this fall, since she announced in February that the current season of her Emmy-winning chat show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, will be her last. 

Season 30 will mark Adam's 19th on The Voice. It will be Kelly's 11th season on the panel. Those seasons were nonconsecutive, though, because both of them have left and returned to the show over the years.

She's a Disney legend, a Grammy winner and just happens to have a song called "Walk of Fame." So it's not surprising that Miley will be getting her very own star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in May.

Miley will receive the 2,845th Walk of Fame star on May 22. The ceremony will stream live on WalkofFame.com starting at 11:30 a.m. PT. Helping to pay tribute to Miley at the ceremony will be guest speakers Donatella Versace and actress Anya Taylor-Joy.

It's been a busy few months for Miley: In December, she was nominated for her third Golden Globe for best original song for "Dream as One," from the movie Avatar: Fire and Ash. She also got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Maxx Morando.

In March she starred in the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special and released a new song she'd written for it, "Younger You." In April, she received the Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award from RuPaul's Drag Race. On May 1 the soundtrack of The Devil Wears Prada 2, featuring Miley's song "Walk of Fame," was released.

Ariana Grande's new album has such a delicate title, you might be surprised to hear that she thinks the album is "a little feral."

In a video on Instagram, Ariana is shown giving a presentation about the album, called Petal, to a group of people, most likely her team at her record label. 

"It's kind of about breaking up with all different kinds of negative attachments," she tells them. "Whether it's my own monsters in my own head, external voices, things that no longer serve me."

"It was a writing experiment for me to use that as a template," she explains. "So that I could be talking about one thing, sharing something, and people could use it however they want and apply it to their own lives."

"It's a little feral, as well," she continues as her audience laughs. "It's definitely from a place that I have been, maybe, like, too shy or polite to tap into before. And this kinda feels like, 'F*** it.'"

Petal, Ariana's eighth album, arrives July 31, in the middle of her Eternal Sunshine tour.

Harry Styles leads a massive dance party in the new video for his song "Dance No More."

The clip starts with Harry, who's wearing red satin gym shorts, a shirt, tie, hoodie, blazer and sneakers, walking into a large empty space and starting to sing with his band in front of rows of empty chairs. Soon, a bunch of spectators appear and watch the performance. 

Harry then starts thrusting, bumping, grinding and shaking his butt while shedding layers of clothing. The spectators start to mimic his movements, until they're all magnetically pulled toward him, sliding and crawling on the floor just to get to him. From then on, everyone dances as one, with Harry, who eventually strips down to a tank top, seemingly controlling everyone's movements.

And fun facts about the lyrics: When Harry sings "Keep your customer satisfied and live your life," he's quoting the 1970 song "Keep the Customer Satisfied" by Simon & Garfunkel. That song was the B-side to the duo's classic tune "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which inspired another track on Harry's album, "Carla's Song."

And when Harry says "Fox" in the song, he's referring to the son of his musical collaborator Kid Harpoon. Harry promised he'd put Fox's name in the song if he was able to kick his soccer ball and hit the top bar of the goal. Fox did it, and Harry kept his promise.
