Imagine Dragons has shared a video revealing the track list for their upcoming album, Loom.
Along with the lead single "Eyes Closed," the set includes songs with titles such as "Take Me to the Beach," "Gods Don't Pray" and "Don't Forget Me."
"If there's one thing I've learned as I get older, it's that you just have no control over anything," frontman Dan Reynolds says in the video. "But I can control the music that I make. So I do the best that I can to make it honest and make something that I love and I'm proud of."
Loom is due out June 28. It's the follow-up to the two-part Mercury album, which was released over 2021 and 2022.
Imagine Dragons will launch a U.S. tour in support of Loom in July.
Here's the Loom track list:
"Wake Up"
"Nice to Meet You"
"Eyes Closed"
"Take Me to the Beach"
"In Your Corner"
"God's Don't Pray"
"Don't Forget Me"
"Kid"
"Fire in These Hills"

Ed Sheeran was a surprise face on the red carpet at the Met Gala on May 6, but he says he only ended up attending because he's been working on the clothing he plans to wear when he releases his next album.
In a behind-the-scenes video for Vogue, Ed explains that he's known designer Stella McCartney for eight or nine years, and she will occasionally send him a piece or two. "For this next album campaign I'm going into, we're sort of doing some clothes for videos and that's when the conversation came up," Ed says. "I went in for a fitting and she was just like, 'Come to the Met.'"
It's surprising that Ed is planning his video outfits now, though, since he recently told People he's not planning to release any music in 2024. "I've made the new music and I'm just going to sit on it for a bit,” he said.
In the video, McCartney says the baby blue tuxedo she designed for Ed was "inspired" by him — specifically, she wanted it to match his eyes — and you'll learn how Ed achieves his artfully disheveled hairstyle.

The next time you feel too lazy to get off the couch, remember this: Jelly Roll just completed a 5K.
The race was held in Pasadena, California, on May 7, and Jelly told Entertainment Tonightafterward, "I feel great. I'm a little tired. It was a little bit harder than I thought it was [going to be], but it's awesome, man."
"I couldn't walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January," he added. "So the fact that we got 3-point-whatever it was, got it down, I felt really, really good about it." He noted he got "really emotional at the finish line."
Jelly told ET that while training for the race he lost "50 to 70-something pounds" and plans to attempt a half-marathon next year.
"I think the coolest thing is how many people stopped to tell us that they were motivated by us, other big guys," he said. "It was just really cool to see that."

Ever since Lady Gaga's Chromatica Ball tour wrapped up in 2022, fans have been waiting for the concert film. Well, it's finally here.
One of the final shows on the tour, the September 10 date in LA, was recorded; in June 2023 Gaga confirmed on Instagram that she was working on editing The Chromatica Ball film. She confirmed on Wednesday that the concert special will stream May 25 on Max.
"OMG finally," one fan commented.
You can watch a teaser for the special on YouTube and HBO's Instagram, set to the album's single "Stupid Love."
The Chromatica Ball promoted Gaga's 2020 album, Chromatica; it was delayed by two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gaga's first all-stadium tour, it grossed more than $112 million. Among the songs performed on the tour were "Bad Romance," "Rain On Me," "Shallow," "Poker Face," "Telephone," "Just Dance" and "Born This Way."

Taylor Swift has so far only released a video for one of the 31 songs on The Tortured Poets Department, but she's happy to let fans make some for her.
A TikTok user named Giacomo Benavides posted a 26-second video in which he acts out part of the song "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived." As Taylor sings, "Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?/ Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?" Giacomo staggers outside, grabs a toy gun from behind a car, shoots it and then throws it away while dramatically lip-synching the lyrics.
As Taylor sings, "Were you writing a book? Were you a sleeper cell spy?/ In fifty years, will all this be declassified?" Giacomo pulls out a book and pretends to write in it. Then two guys appear and drag him toward a waiting police car.
Taylor somehow saw the video and approved: As captured by the Instagram account Comments by Celebs, she wrote, "This is the official music video" and added an emoji of a trophy.
In other Taylor-related news, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, has landed another gig. In addition to being the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, the co-host of the New Heights podcast and the host of Prime Video's Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, Variety reports that he's been cast in Grotesquerie, a new FX horror series from American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy. His co-stars include Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville.

Sure, Ariana Grande's songs are catchy, but one country music superstar is so taken with her latest single that he's compared it to an illegal drug.
Keith Urban — Nicole Kidman's better half — told People that Ariana's hit "we can't be friends" is his "absolute current obsession song right now."
"I don't know what is going on with that song, but I cannot stop playing it. It's like audible heroin. Literally, I have to have another hit. I play that thing over and over and over,” he said. He described it as having "some real celestial magic."
It's a good thing Keith and Nicole attended the Met Gala in New York City on May 6, because Ariana performed it during the event.
As for how he discovered the song, Keith told People that he's a fan: "Ariana has always had that unique vocal gift. On top of that, she's a phenomenal writer and producer. So it was easy for me to stumble upon that new album. I was interested in it before it came out.”
Keith also said he's been enjoying Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department, telling People, "I mean, God, Taylor's songwriting, it's so extraordinary. There's really no adjectives for it."

The Summer Olympics take place in Paris this year, and nearly 2 million visitors are expected to descend on the French capital for the event — but another invasion is taking place due to Taylor Swift.
Bloomberg reports Taylor's four Eras Tour concerts outside Paris May 9 through May 12 are drawing five times as many Americans to France as the Summer Games. That's according to Embark Beyond, a New York luxury travel company. Jack Ezon, Embark co-founder, tells Bloomberg, "I never would have anticipated it ... she’s even overshadowing the Olympics.”
Ezon says his company has put together more than 200 trips to Paris for those attending the concerts; a third of them are mother-daughter duos who are also scheduling shopping sprees. Clients are staying in luxury hotels, says Ezon, and 20% of them are booking longer European visits following the concerts, with some traveling to London or the south of France.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports that there's a lower-than-expected demand for the Olympic Games, with some vacation rentals cutting prices and hotel prices falling 30%.
As for why so many Americans are traveling to Europe to see Taylor, blame the laws in Europe that limit how much you can resell concert tickets for. Because the tickets aren't as outrageously expensive as they are in the U.S., it can sometimes to be cheaper to travel overseas to see certain concerts.
Bloomberg estimated that Taylor's concerts contributed $4.3 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product last year.

yla's Met Gala dress was a custom Balmain number made out of sand, crystal studs and a plaster body mold, but it was so unwieldy that she literally had to be carried up the steps and onto the red carpet. Then the entire bottom half had to be cut off so she could move when she got into the event. She looks a lot more comfortable starring in the current campaign for Gap linen.
"I didn't even need to second guess it," Tyla told ABC Audio about the offer to star in the campaign, which shows her dancing in linen to the song "Back on '74" by Jungle.
"Gap, the advertisements have always been iconic," she continued. "Just the way they involve dance; they involve a lot of things that I enjoy. So I like that they thought of me when thinking of the idea. And also, that it wasn't like I'm advertising just the brand. I really felt like I was a part of something, which I feel like shows in the video and also in the response."
Tyla said she also appreciated that she got to style the company's clothing to make it her own for the campaign.
"They were very collaborative," she said. "Y'know, I added my little waist belt, my boots, my braids ... I really enjoyed that one."
Of course, that's not to say that Tyla didn't enjoy suffering for fashion at the Met Gala — she did end up on numerous "best dressed" lists, after all. "The idea was crazy, and I loved it," she told Vogue.

Selena Gomez is taking out some anger in the kitchen. In a new clip shared with People from the upcoming May 9 episode of her Food Network series Selena + Restaurant, Selena appears in the LA restaurant Lemon Grove, where chef Marcel Vigneron gives her a meat pounder to smash blueberries. "This is for sure getting out some anger,” Selena says in the clip.
Believe it or not, Ed Sheeran just attended his first Met Gala. The Monday, May 6, event marked his first time at fashion's biggest night, where he wore a light blue tux. Many fans noticed the outfit resembled Troy Bolton's "A Night to Remember" costume from High School Musical 3. "Ed Sheeran is giving Troy Bolton when his tux [is] too tight," one X user wrote.
