Ed Sheeran has teased fans that his new album could be set to drop very soon. The Bad Habits singer shared an intriguing video on his Instagram showing Ed as the host of a shopping channel, telling his fans that Autumn is coming, hinting at a new title for the record. The Grammy-winner also spoke to Andy Cohen recently about his new music, explaining that he had no expectations for it and that he wrote the record before Subtract was released earlier this year. Subtract marked the final chapter of Ed's symbol era following the huge successes of +, multiply, divide and Equals.

Lizzo's Big Grrrl and Big Boi dancers have come out in support of the singer following the recent lawsuit she was handed due to alleged misconduct. The official social media accounts for Big Girrl shared a statement with fans explaining that they had the time of their lives working with the Good as Hell hitmaker while appearing as dancers for her Special World Tour. They added they were so honoured to work with such amazing talent and thanked Lizzo for shattering limitations and making the way for Big Grrrl and Big Boi dancers. It comes soon after a few of Lizzo's other dance crew filed a lawsuit against her for alleged sexual, racial and religious harassment. Lizzo denies the allegations.
