Can you guess this country singer showing off more than just her vocals?!

This singer just dropped her sophomore album, "Dandelion," and recently broke Taylor Swift's record for having the longest-running Number 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 by a female country artist, with her song "Choosin' Texas."

Chris Brown and Usher are about to have fans screaming "yeah" ... because they're teaming up for a new tour!

The chart-topping singers dropped the news on social media Friday, in a flashy announcement where they zip through city streets on motorcycles ... all while feral fans are freaking out about the joint venture.

The superstars are calling it the "R&B Tour" -- a double entendre for the artists' shared music genre as well as their last names -- but there's no word yet on what the dates and venues will be.

Justin Bieber just sent last-minute Coachella ticket prices surging into the thousands of dollars -- and all it took was a few last-minute TikToks of him rehearsing to spark total chaos!

Leaked clips of JB running through classics like "Sorry," "One Less Lonely Girl" and "Boyfriend" got fans spiraling, 'cause it wasn't the "Swag" set they were bracing for ... it's set to be a full nostalgia takeover, which has fans scrambling for tickets.

Sources also tell TMZ he’s been out there sound-checking all his throwback hits -- basically pulling an "Eras Tour"-style pivot à la Taylor Swift, and going all-in on the classics.

11:40 AM PT -- Offset just posted on his Instagram, writing "Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love! I’m good….but I’m planning to be better!

"I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music…realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…

"Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win." He signs off with "$ET".

The next slide of the post features music ... apparently a new track.

Offset is officially out of the hospital after being shot at a Florida casino earlier this week ... TMZ has learned.

When *NSYNC came calling, Lance Bass wanted to take the offer -- no strings attached -- but his mom had other ideas.

The singer tells the story in the new Joey Fatone-produced documentary "Boy Band Confidential" ... explaining he got a call out of the blue to audition for the group when he was 16 and living in small-town Mississippi.

While clearly the opportunity of a lifetime, Bass says his mom seemed skeptical ... and told manager Lou Pearlman, Justin Timberlake, and Justin's mom Lynn, they may need a new band member -- but it wasn't gonna be her son.

Kacey Musgraves just saw some "insane" orbs in the sky, and she ain't blowin' smoke ... she's got videos to back it up.

The singer posted on her Instagram Story late Thursday night, describing the "craziest f***ing orb UFO experience" while flying from Fort Worth, TX to Nashville, TN with one of her managers, Bobby.

She said she was about to take a nap when she saw some lights that "just didn't look normal" ... first noticing them over the Little Rock, AR area and watching them all the way until they reached Nashville.

What's better than Coachella?! Coachella with your bestie, of course! And the celebs love hightailing it to the desert with their built-in partners n' crime ...

Bambaataa was born in The Bronx .... and he joined the local gang the Black Spades, quickly rising up the ranks in the gang to the position of "warlord."

Karol G isn’t just making Coachella headlines this week … 'cause a recent interview sparked claims her team warned her to avoid mentioning ICE onstage -- but we’re told that’s flat-out wrong.

Sources close to Karol tell TMZ ... her team would never instruct her not to mention ICE, or warn her against it in any way ... as she's been an advocate for immigrants through her foundation ... so there’s no scenario in which her inner circle would discourage her from speaking on something that personal to her.

The confusion stems from a recent interview with Playboy -- originally conducted in Spanish -- and we're told some nuance may have gotten lost in translation.

Pooh Shiesty ain't sweatin' being in a jail cell ... in fact, the rapper seems pretty upbeat about his situation -- at least according to his lawyer.

Pooh's powerhouse attorney, Bradford Cohen, tells TMZ ... Pooh is in "good spirits" and looking forward to defending himself against kidnapping charges after a judge rejected his bid to get out of jail on bond pending his trial.

Last week, federal prosecutors filed a complaint against Pooh, his father, and 7 other defendants, accusing them of robbing and kidnapping Gucci Mane and others at gunpoint inside a music studio in Dallas on January 10. The complaint says Pooh went there to get Gucci to terminate the recording contract between the hip hop stars.

He also shared some dreamy ocean shots, captioning them all about love, sunshine and "moments to be remembered" -- man’s clearly in full honeymoon mode.
