A Prince exhibit has opened at London’s O2 Arena.
Curated by Prince’s sister, Tyka Nelson, the “My Name Is Prince” exhibition features hundreds of items from the Purple One’s Paisley Park estate. "He lived to be on stage to entertain you... he lived his life for you,” said Tyka. Among the items on display include clothing from the Purple Rain tour, as well as several of his guitars and instruments. There’s also lyric sheets and hundreds artifacts. In addition, there's a memorial wall where fans can leave letters. The O2 is a special place for the late music icon. Back in 2007, he performed a record-breaking 21-night residency at the venue. Now he's back, albeit posthumously, to entertain fans once more. The "My Name Is Prince" exhibit will run until January 7, 2018. For more information, check out theo2.co.uk.

Offset and his Migos crew were performing on the same bill as his girlfriend Cardi B for Powerhouse tonight when Offset pulled a huge surprise: he proposed to Cardi live on stage, and she obviously said yes. You can see clips of the proposal below.
The couple, are fresh off of releasing their new single "MotorSport," Migos' first single off Culture 2 featuring Cardi and Nicki Minaj. The trio debuted the song at Powerhouse last night. Ed Sheeran's Grammy-winning hit love song "Thinking Out Loud" has officially reached Diamond status.
The 26-year-old singer took to Instagram Friday morning (Oct. 27) to announce that the x single -- which won the Grammy for best pop solo performance and the coveted song of the year at the 2016 awards -- has achieved sales and streams exceeding 10 million. Even more impressive, "Thinking Out Loud" becomes only the 15th song to reach that milestone since the Diamond certification was implemented by the RIAA 20 years ago. "Thinking out loud is diamond in the US," the singer wrote in his post. "Thank you to everyone who streamed or downloaded it x." Ironically, Sheeran's Diamond certification for "Thinking Out Loud" comes just one month after the singer officially released his ÷ love song "Perfect" as a single, a song which he's dubbed his favorite he's ever written and has been deemed even more romantic than "Thinking Out Loud." The song marks Sheeran's fourth official single from ÷, following "Castle on the Hill," "Galway Girl" and the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 "Shape of You," which is receiving early Grammy chatter for song of the year and record of the year. Adding to the accolades, ÷ has been certified 2x platinum, continuing it's run as the biggest-selling album of the year so far. Album tracks have collectively amassed more than 3.2 billion Spotify streams, with "Shape of You" alone at more than 1.3 billion, making it the most-streamed song on the service. "Thinking Out Loud" is Sheeran's second most-streamed song on Spotify, with more than 963,000,000 listens. The ballroom-dancing music video for "Thinking Out Loud" has more than 1.8 billion views on YouTube, coming second in views on Sheeran's channel to "Shape of You," which has 2.5 billion. After wrapping up the American leg of his sold-out world tour, Sheeran recently fractured his right wrist and left elbow requiring him to postpone shows in Taipei, Osaka, Seoul, Tokyo and Hong Kong. He has yet to update fans on when he'll be returning to the stage. Demi Lovato and DJ Khaled are going on Tour....Together!
On Thursday (October 26), the pop star announced their joint 2018 North American tour on Twitter. Lovato and Khaled will launch their 20-city tour on February 26 in San Diego, and tickets go on sale November 3. See Lovato's announcement and check out the full list of tour dates below: 2/26 San Diego, CA Viejas Arena 2/28 San Jose, CA SAP Center 3/2 Inglewood, CA The Forum 3/3 Las Vegas, NV MGM Grand Garden Arena 3/4 Phoenix, AZ Talking Stick Resort Arena 3/7 Dallas, TX American Airlines Center 3/9 Rosemont, IL Allstate Arena 3/10 Minneapolis, MN Target Center 3/13 Detroit, MI Little Caesars Arena 3/14 Columbus, OH Schottenstein Center 3/16 Brooklyn, NY Barclays Center 3/17 Montreal, QC Bell Centre 3/19 Toronto, ON Air Canada Centre 3/21 Newark, NJ Prudential Center 3/23 Philadelphia, PA Wells Fargo Center 3/24 Washington, DC Capital One Arena 3/26 Boston, MA TD Garden 3/28 Nashville, TN Bridgestone Arena 3/30 Miami, FL American Airlines Arena 3/31 Tampa, FL Amalie Arena Taylor Swift debuted the music video for "...Ready For It?" early Friday morning, and it's already causing fans to take sides. Although the video's director, Joseph Kahn, insists the video for Swift's second single off her upcoming album is an "homage to sci-fi and anime," others are pointing out its eerie similarities to "Ghost in the Shell," which is prompting the age-old discussion about Hollywood's continued whitewashing of traditionally Asian roles in the same year Scarlett Johansson was criticized for playing the part of Major Mira Killian. And many feel the video was full of cultural appropriation. Most Swifties are happy with the video, saying the video signified Taylor freeing herself from society's expectations, but tons of others are pissed at the pop star.
