Demi Lovato Kicks Off Her ‘Next Level’ World Tour

by 1 min ago

Demi Lovato fans in Baltimore, Maryland, were treated to the first stop on her world tour Saturday night. But for those of you not in the Old Line State over the weekend, not to worry because the “Really Don’t Care” singer has 26 more stops between now and October 27 when the show wraps in Brooklyn, NY.

When MTV News caught up with the pop star during VMA week, she described the Demi World Tour as “bigger and more interactive” than anything you’ve seen from her before and promised a show you won’t want to miss.

“The Neon Lights Tour was amazing and I had so much fun, but I’m constantly thinking, ‘How can I step up my game and how can I take my shows to the next level?’ so that’s what we’re doing with this tour,” she explained. “I’m changing some of the songs, adding new songs, adding new covers [like Michael Jackson's "Thriller"]; I just want it to be fun and I want it to be everything that I didn’t get to do with the Neon Lights Tour.”

In addition to Demi, Lovatics will hear from a number of opening acts including MKTO (“Love them, I’ve known Tony [Oller from the duo] since I was 14.”), Christina Perry (“I’ve wanted to tour with her for so long but she was always working and so it never ...

Who’s The ‘F—ing Beautiful’ Girl Behind Nick Jonas’ Upcoming Single?

by 7 mins ago

Both Beyoncé and Chromeo released songs in the last calendar year entitled “Jealous” and now Nick Jonas is joining the trend with his second solo single by the same name.

When MTV News caught up with the former JoBro earlier this summer he explained why the track, which drops Sunday (September 7), was the perfect follow up to “Chains,” the first release off his upcoming LP.

Everything You Need To Know About Nick Jonas And Demi Lovato’s New Song ‘Avalanche’

“‘Jealous’ is a really great representation of the range of [my debut] record and it is an up-tempo song, basically the whole concept is about jealousy,” the singer told MTV News. “It’s basically saying this girl is so f—ing beautiful that you just get jealous and you can’t help it and I think it’s something a lot of guys can relate to but are afraid to say.”

Nick is far from shy when expressing his feelings on the subject, penning the lyrics after an upsetting night out with his sweetheart Olivia Culpo.

“I’m with my girl and [some other guys are] looking at her and I was like, I’ve just been training for three months how to be a real fighter for a TV show and I could hurt ...

Calling All The Basic Bitches: Lohanthony Has A New Announcement

by 4 mins ago

Move over, Miss Cleo! There’s a new psychic in town and he goes by the name of Lohanthony.

Lohanthony

Is your lover cheating? Do you have financial frustrations you need resolved? Well, the Internet sensation has your answers … or maybe not. But when he stopped by the MTV News studio earlier this summer, Anthony Quintal, better known by the World Wide Web as Lohanthony, tried his hand at reading, eh, some fortunes.

Calling All The Basic Bitches Remixed

While his predictions weren’t necessarily accurate — “You’re going to be reincarnated as Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s next child,” he told one customers — he made a not so new of an announcement to another — “Oh, it’s just like I thought: you’re basic.”

And although he’s never been to a psychic IRL, Lohanthony confessed to being a believer.

“I’m obsessed with horoscopes, like if you go on my following lists on Twitter there’s a bunch of like Gemini ones because I like to keep updated with that stuff,” he said. “It will usually relate to the mood that I’m actually in, currently, I don’t know how it does that, it’s like always relating to what’s going on, which is super weird.”

Ariana Grande Takes Us Behind The Scenes Of Her ‘Star Wars’-Inspired ‘Break Free’ Video

by 53 mins ago

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Ariana Grande shot the music video for “Break Free.” And after waiting very patiently, the “Break Free” video is here.

When MTV News caught up with the pop sensation earlier this summer, she promised an out-of-this-world adventure with the Queen of the Galaxy serving as her muse — and, boy, did she deliver.

“The inspiration for the ‘Break Free’ video is ‘Barbarella,’ ‘Star Wars’ and sort of like a retro take on space age, futuristic moments,” she revealed.

In the music video, Ariana stays true to her word with space-inspired scenes featuring her fighting alien robots, floating in zero gravity and shooting rockets from her bra top.

“I really wanted to do a take on what Barbarella wore for part of it,” she explained. “She did like 100 costume changes but my favorite outfit she wore was this beige sort of spacesuit that was very short and had these built in, like, hip pads type thing and I really wanted to do a take on that, so that’s where the inspiration for the outfit came from.”

This might be just a taste of what is to come at the 2014 Video Music Awards, where Ariana will perform the track live. “Break ...

OutKast’s Lollapalooza Look And All Of Their Festival ‘Fits This Season

by 51 mins ago

CHICAGO, Illinois — As the sun set on Grant Park, thousands of concert goers filed in to see OutKast perform last night (August 2) at Lollapalooza. This set just about marked the halfway point for the guys, who signed on to do more than 40 shows this festival season. And while one might think they’d be losing steam, the pair confirmed they’re in this for the long haul.

Since first reuniting back in April for Coachella, MTV News has been keeping track of the group, who’ve been bringing it night after night to cities across the globe. But it’s not just their performances that have caught our eyes. Oh no. Not only have the guys proved that they’ve still got it on the mic — which we never doubted — but they’ve also established they’ve got their stage style on lock as well. From Big Boi’s vibrant prints to Andre 3000′s “Sold Out” tags, the duo are definitely making a fashion statement. But another message being made each night can be found in the form of text on Andre’s (who was was referring to the crowd as “Lollapawinners”) coveralls which, thus far, have changed every show.

Intrigued by the musician’s words of wisdom, (plus, just their incredible clothing choices as a whole) we combed through the archives to provide you with a pic from almost every catwalk, we mean, ...

Beyoncé And Nicki Minaj Are ‘The S—’ In New ‘Flawless’ Remix

by 1 hour ago

Alright, Beyoncé is going to need to stop with the surprises. As if I’ve fully recovered — which I haven’t — from the release of her most recent LP, (I know it was more than 7 months ago but come on!) Mrs. Carter has hit us with more unforeseen music. And yup, you guessed it, my heart is palpitating.

This time the singer linked up with non other than Nick Minaj on the remix of her Houston anthem “Flawless.” The female powerhouses, dropped the song on Yoncé’s website Saturday (August 2) night, which — shocker — temporarily crashed the database.

On the track, Queen B addresses the recent scuffle between her sister Solange and husband Jay-Z during a Met Gala after party singing: “We escalate, up in this bitch like elevators, of course sometime s— go down when there’s a billion dollars on an elevator.”

She continues: “I wake up looking this good. And I wouldn’t change it if I could. And you can say what you want. I’m the s—.”

Last weekend Nicki announced she’d be pushing the release of her upcoming single “Anaconda” back to this Monday saying we’d soon find out “why.” Looks like we’ve uncovered the mystery and — in ...

Shawn Mendes Tells All: 6 Secrets About The Vine Star

by 2 hours ago

Shawn Mendes’ self-titled debut is finally here — rejoice — but maybe even more exciting, his EP hit #1 on the iTunes charts in less than an hour.

When MTV News caught up with the Vine superstar last week, the singer could barely contain his joy over its release, explaining that it’s not like anything his fans have heard from him before.

“Lots of acoustic, sort of raw material. One of the songs we get to the bridge and then it goes super fast, it’s almost like a rap, but it’s not a rap. I’m not a rapper. But, um, very different stuff, I don’t know, I feel like some of the things are going to surprise my fans,” he said. “I’m really excited to see how they take in the music that I’m giving them. We have a little bit of a reggae feel on one of the songs, so lots of exciting stuff.”

In the spirit of surprises, we had Shawn spill some fun facts he’s never shared with any of his fans — check the video and list below!

1. Witch, Don’t Kill My Vibe

“I was in love with [Emma Watson] because I was in love with ‘Harry Potter’ and she was Hermione and I thought she was really badass.”
