Taylor Swift never had a shortage of famous people attending her concerts ... and Friday night was no different as Justin Trudeau popped in to see her performance in Canada.

The Canadian Prime Minister showed up at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, where Taylor took to the stage for one of her customary hours-long sold-out shows. And did we also mention that it was amazing?

Trudeau seemed to think so, because he was hyped up the the max just before Swift took to the stage, to say the least.

Khalid just confirmed he is gay ... coming out after claiming he was outed.

The R&B hitmaker posted a rainbow flag emoji on his X account Friday night and added, "there yall go. next topic please lol."

Kristin Chenoweth has made clear she agrees with Ariana Grande about an aspect of the "Wicked" character they both have played ... 'cause she always thought it, too.

Here is the deal ... AG recently shared her thoughts in an interview with Gay Times that Glinda "might be a little in the closet."

Ariana's comment made its way to an IG post from E News, which is where Kristin chimed in the comment section with ... "I thought so too way back when…."

Yo Gabba Gabba! is coming to Coachella next year and their creators say they are going to have some big-name surprise guests.

Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz, the guys behind the popular live-action kids show, tell TMZ ... they have taken a ton of calls since the Coachella lineup was announced, inquiring about a potential collab, but they aren't ready to reveal anything just yet.

While Yo Gabba Gabba! is known more for being a children's TV show, the characters were actually walking around Coachella last year and got a huge response, so promoter Goldenvoice brought them back for 2025 and gave them a music gig.

Caleb Kennedy's working on new tracks ahead of his upcoming 8-year prison sentence ... and, his lawyer says he's hopeful the 20-year-old will still be able to pursue a career in music when he gets out.

We spoke with attorney Ryan Beasley, who tells us his client's been writing songs over the last few years ... adding that -- when all of this is behind him -- he's hopeful Caleb will find success in the industry.

As we told you ... Caleb was sentenced to 8 years -- 5 years in prison, 3 years of home detention -- followed by 5 years' probation. He will also have to go to counseling and fulfill other requirements as well.

Ice Cube unleashed his 11th studio album "Man Down" on Friday, featuring several hip hop titans -- but probably none more appreciative than Killer Mike!!!

The reigning Grammy Rap Album of the Year winner lent his lyrical touch to Cube's "Man Down" closer "Ego Maniacs" with Busta Rhymes, and told his fans the collab checked off a bucket list mark ... he's been holding onto since the 8th grade!!!

Cube's socially aware lyrics inspired a nation of millions to rap with an edge, KM included ... and it was only a matter of time before the cosmos connected them.

Kanye West made a music video shoot more like a porn set ... according to model Jenn An, who claims he made her gag and choked her until she blacked out.

Jenn, who appeared in cycle 13 of "America's Next Top Model," filed a federal lawsuit against West, alleging the 2010 shoot for his and La Roux's "In For the Kill" music video took a horrible turn after he picked her out of a lineup of women.

He allegedly said, "Give me the Asian girl" ... and then started filming a scene at NYC's Chelsea Hotel which she found humiliating and dangerous.

A$AP Ferg got very personal on his new album "Darold" and come to find out, several of his fans can relate!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Ferg at LAX on Wednesday and he says fans have been flooding his DMs ... pouring their eyes out over his song "Pool."

The Harlem-bred rapper details being sexually assaulted as a child on the track, named after the local swimming pool where the incident happened.

Diddy is in a New York courtroom, fighting to get out of jail on a $50 million bond as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges ... though he'll have to spend at least one more weekend in jail.

The Bad Boy Records founder appeared in court Friday without shackles ... going before a judge and pushing for his release.

It's the fourth time Diddy's trying to get out on bail ... after being denied three times. However, the judge just adjourned court for the day -- and a decision on bail will be rendered next week.

Sam Asghari is going to new heights with his girlfriend, who just so happens to bear a striking resemblance to his famous ex-wife.

We got Sam and his boo, Brooke Irvine, at LAX on Friday as they were heading off somewhere together ... and Brooke looks like a much younger version of Britney Spears.

Sam and Brooke were pretty mum on the status of their relationship, but there's a reason for that ... Sam and Britney finalized their divorce in May but the marriage won't officially be over until next month, so it's best he keeps his mouth shut until then.

Diddy's family is supporting him in court as he tries to get out of jail, while he awaits trial in his criminal case ... with 6 of his children making the trip to a packed Manhattan federal courtroom today.

Sarah Chapman, who shares a daughter with Diddy, was the first one to walk in ... with their daughter Chance not far behind in a second group of family members.

Also accompanying Chance ... Diddy's 17-year-old twin daughters, Jesse and D'Lila, who he had with the late Kim Porter. Quincy Brown, Kim's son who Diddy adopted, also walked in with Diddy's daughters.

3:26 PM PT -- Snoop Dogg has admitted to Kendrick Lamar that it was indeed the edibles that caused him to even be halfway curious about Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle" with the artificial Tupac Shakur.

Looks like it won't happen again ... Snoop gave Dot's "GNX" album a perfect 5-mic rating!!!

Kendrick Lamar called Drake's "Taylor Made Freestyle" a blatant disrespect of Tupac Shakur's legacy and is floored that Snoop Dogg even gave it the time of day!!!

On the opening record "wacced out murals" of his new "GNX" album, Kendrick shared his disappointment in BOTH Lil Wayne AND Snoop for their roles amid the 2024 Rap Wars.

Wayne went on a world tour complaining about missing out on headlining Super Bowl LIX in his New Orleans hometown and never publicly said he was happy for K. Dot.

Cardi B has threatened drastic action in order to secure good behavior from her kids at school ... going after what they care about most -- their iPads.

The rapper posted on her Instagram Stories Thursday, where she revealed she had a couple parent-teacher conferences coming up ... and noted how she planned to keep her kids with ex Offset -- including daughter Kulture, who's 6, and son Wave, who's 3 -- on their toes.

She warned in the video ... "I better hear some good s*** or else ... iPads will be broken, phones will be thrown in the garbage, TVs will be disconnected, cables will be turned off. I am not playing. I am that type of mom."

Drake fired off his final shot at Kendrick Lamar during their rap battle in the form of "The Heart Pt. 6" -- a title hijacked from K. Dot's long-running series ... but the Compton MC is saying "aht aht aht" ... that storyline belongs to me!!!

On his surprise drop album "GNX," Kendrick conjured up his own "heart pt. 6" ... totally ignoring the slander heard on Drake's version, instead detailing his career origin story with Top Dawg Entertainment.

Kendrick's track bridges a sample of SWV's "Use Your Heart" and he shares Illmatic tales down memory lane ... such as ScHoolboy Q gradually learning to rap, and President Punch running their triangle offense better than Phil Jackson ever could.

He also took the blame for sabotaging the Black Hippy project -- the in-house supergroup he, Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock were supposed to launch, but their solo careers all took priority.

We spoke to Rock about BH last year and he did say the ball was in Dot's court, so his "heart pt. 6" lyrics measure up.

The union seems like a distant memory now ... DJ Akademiks is currently giving Ab-Soul crap for not hitting the Billboard 200 for his recent album, which Kendrick wasn't a part of.

Caleb Kennedy -- the former "American Idol" finalist who was arrested after a fatal DUI crash in 2022 -- has been sentenced to 8 years ... TMZ has confirmed.

Kennedy, who appeared on season 19 of the hit singing show, pled guilty to a felony driving under the influence where death results charge earlier this week. He'll also pay a fine of just more than $15K.

The 20-year-old singer will serve 5 years behind bars before serving the next 3 years in home detention. He's also required to serve 5 years of probation after his release, attend mental health and substance abuse counseling, and undergo random drug and alcohol testing.
