Taylor Swift has teased that there are some big surprises ahead for the remainder of her Eras tour. The Anti-Hero singer, who is currently embarking on a string of huge shows across North America, told the crowd at her show in Arlington, Texas, this week that despite fans thinking they can go online and scroll to the setlist, she's making a vow that every show will differ. Taylor added she wants to be "tricksy" and add good hijinks to the setlist of each concert so that fans are surprised every single time. Meanwhile, the Grammy-winning artist will be on tour in the US until August but there's no word yet on a European tour.

Christine McVie's cause of death has been revealed by her death certificate. The Fleetwood Mac singer and keyboardist sadly passed away in late November last year aged 79, and at the time a statement explained that she died peacefully following a short illness. The official certificate now reveals that Christine had suffered an ischemic stroke after being diagnosed with a metastatic malignancy, meaning cancer cells had been detected. Fleetwood Mac paid tribute to the musician at the time of her death in a statement that described her as the best musician that anyone could have in their band and the best friend that anyone could have in their life.
Calling all Potterheads! It’s been reported that a TV series adaptation of Harry Potter is in the works at HBO. So far, the reports state that each season will focus on each of the books written by JK Rowling, meaning that a seven-season show is likely. According to Bloomberg, the project is in the very early stages of development so it's thought that fans will be waiting a little while to hear details of a release date or cast information, but it has been stated that JK Rowling will be involved with the creative process to ensure it stays loyal to the original material.
Jesy Nelson has announced her brand new single. The former little mix singer surprised fans when she announced that she will be dropping her new track named Bad Thing very soon. Jesy, who walked away from the girl group in 2020, teased a snippet of the single on her social media earlier in the week but has since confirmed it will be released on 14 April. Jesy described the song as honest and her all over. We're looking forward to hearing the whole thing.
And congratulations are in order for Alexandra Burke who has announced she is expecting her second baby with her boyfriend Darren Randolph.
