Tina Turner and Ike Turner's son, Ike Turner Jr. has died ... TMZ has learned.

Tina’s niece, Jacqueline Bullock, tells TMZ ... Ike Jr. died Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital from kidney failure. She says he'd battled severe heart issues for years, and we're told his health had been declining for some time. He also recently suffered a stroke in early September.

Born in 1958 to Ike Sr. and Lorraine Taylor, Ike Jr. was adopted by Tina early in his life and grew up amid his parents' whirlwind music career.

Miley Cyrus "Secrets" actually brought her closer to her father ... no, not the ones she's keeping close to her chest -- the song she says brought her dad to tears!

The singer-songwriter opened up about the emotional track she wrote for Billy Ray Cyrus during an interview with "CBS Sunday Mornings."

During the interview, Cyrus talked about how she didn't see herself physically giving the song to her dad at first ... though the entire time she was working on it she had the image of a white flag waving in the wind in mind -- a peace offering sticking in her head.

Taylor Swift's looks over the years showcase 'The Life of a Showgirl!'

Here is a 17-year-old version of the on-the-rise star in her curly hair era at the 54th Annual BMI Country Awards, back in '06 (right). This was four years before she won, not just one, but four Grammys for her song "White Horse", Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.

And, nearly 20 years later, the 35-year-old -- who's past year stormed the media with her relationship to Travis Kelce -- turned heads on the red carpet this year (right) ... she's been in her bangs era and we stand for them!

Taylor's been through many eras over the years, and luckily for you we've got her iconic looks in the gallery above!

Once you're done' scrollin' Swift, we have one imperative question for you:

With her newest album dropping earlier this weekend, we must ask, Taylor Swift: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Keith Urban isn't intentionally leaving Nicole Kidman songs out of his shows, despite reports ... he's simply an artist who likes to keep his shows fresh.

Here's the deal ... during Urban's show in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Thursday -- his first since Kidman filed to divorce him -- he apparently didn't play his song "The Fighter."

As you may know, "The Fighter" is a song Keith wrote about always standing by Nicole's side and fighting for her when she's not able -- which, given their relationship troubles, has received a ton of attention online from fans.

Taylor Swift not only dropped the album of the year on Friday, AMC Theatres also released the surprise cinematic experience "Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl" ... and let’s just say the Swifties not only showed up, but made cinematic history!!!

AMC Theatres Distribution tells TMZ ... the release of 'TLOAS' album debut cinematic experience is the "biggest album debut event in cinema history" -- just from opening day domestic sales alone.

With no Thursday previews, no morning shows, and a start time of 3 PM ET, most films would have struggled to build momentum -- however, Taylor pulled in a jaw-dropping $15.8 million on opening day ... and we're told as of Saturday morning, the domestic weekend box office forecast remains $25-30 million.

Keith Urban is keeping the show going amid his split from Nicole Kidman ... hitting the stage in Connecticut for a packed, high-energy performance.

The country star made his way into the crowd at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday night ... belting out hits -- including "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan -- and getting up close with fans.

Keith was smiling and appeared in good spirits despite everything going on. As for his appearance, he wasn't wearing his wedding ring and had already been spotted without it a day earlier out in public.

ROLE MODEL might have brought out one of his most iconic 'Sally' guests yet during his Austin City Limits performance ... and it's none other than the Disney queen herself -- Hilary Duff!!!

In case you aren't aware of ROLE MODEL's viral, fan-favorite bit he does when performing his hit song "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out" ... it began with the indie-pop star bringing up fans from the crowd to join him on stage and dance around to be his "Sally" for the night -- but then grew into celebrities like Kate Hudson, Natalie Portman, & Olivia Rodrigo making guest appearances.

ACL is basically Austin’s Coachella -- minus the desert, but plus BBQ goodness -- the city's biggest green space turns into a two-weekend music haven with massive headliners that takes over Zilker Park every October.

This year, the lineup is stacked with stars like Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Luke Combs, The Strokes, John Summit, Doechii, and originally Doja Cat -- however, Doja later pulled out, and The Killers have stepped in as her replacement for the Sunday slot.

This surprise appearance comes just weeks after HD hinted at potential "new music" in the works ... teasing the docuseries that is tied to her new album, which will be directed by and executive produced by Sam Wrench ... who brought Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas special and Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour concert film to life.

Fans are hopeful that this Sally surprise might lead to a music collab for the two singers ... but for now, the Lizzie McGuire stans are just going to have to keep on dreamin'.

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively may not be in a good place right now friendship-wise... but that didn't stop the actress from supporting the superstar's new album drop.

It's subtle, but it's there ... on Instagram, Blake gave Taylor a "like" in her Thursday post celebrating the release of "The Life of a Showgirl," where TS told fans ... “I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right."

The gesture seems minor ... but it's actually a pretty big deal since the one-time besties had an epic falling out over Blake's ongoing lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

Taylor Swift's song "Wood" may have shocked some with its explicit nature ... but, at least one fan says ya just gotta marvel at how beautiful she can make the shocking.

We spoke with Olivia Levin -- an expert on all things T-Swift -- on "TMZ Live" ... and, we asked her about "The Life of a Showgirl," Swift's new album, which came out Friday.

As we told you ... on the track, Swift sings, “Forgive me, it sounds cocky / He ah-matized me / And opened my eyes / Redwood tree / It ain’t hard to see / His love was the key / That opened my thighs.”

Taylor Swift is spilling all about Travis Kelce -- gushing over his over-the-top proposal, the way he planned every detail, and, in her words, how he straight-up crushed it!

Appearing on UK’s "The Graham Norton Show" Friday, Taylor showed off her dazzling engagement ring, and she revealed the whole thing went down in Travis’ backyard ... right in the middle of filming a podcast episode.

Taylor said that while they were filming, someone was setting up a hedge wall in the backyard, and her tour photog sneaked into the bushes to snap the pics ... which blew up IG back in August.

Taylor Swift's handling all family business on her new album ... 'cause it appears she took the opportunity to take shots at Travis Kelce's ex, Kayla Nicole.

"The Life of a Showgirl" dropped late last night, and Swifites have combed through the album searching for every veiled reference ... and they're convinced the star took some shots at Nicole's effort during her relationship with Kelce on the track "Opalite"

Swift sings, "“You couldn’t understand it, why you felt alone / You were in it for real, she was in her phone / And you were just a pose.”

Keith Urban just played his first show since news broke of his split with Nicole Kidman amid a possible new romance ... and the guitarist at the center of the rumors was notably absent -- but not for the reason many assume.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... Maggie Baugh, who played with Keith's tour in Chicago, sparking romance rumors due to some apparent lyric rewrites ... is not actually a member of his tour band or the opening acts.

Turns out, Maggie was filling in for Natalie Stovall when she was unable to perform in Chicago. Ergo ... she wasn't at last night's show at Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania ... 'cause she wasn't needed -- not due to her possibly bailing over the headlines.

Taylor Swift fans are in full-on detective mode over "The Life of a Showgirl," investigating each lyric and hunting down every Easter egg ... but the singer has dropped herself -- one song is raw, real, and all about her longing to be a mother.

The singer spilled on UK’s Heart FM with Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton Friday that her dreamy new jam "Wi$h Li$t" isn’t just about her ... it’s a globe-spanning wish list, with her own dreams sneakily woven right in.

Now, peep the lyrics... "I just want you" -- yep, that’s about Travis -- and "have a couple kids"... clearly Taylor’s painting her dream family.

Taylor Swift’s new track "CANCELLED!" is stirring the tea ... she doesn’t drop names, but fans are all over it, convinced Blake Lively’s in the crosshairs after her 12th album finally dropped!

The pop icon's spilling on how she likes her friends "cancelled," singing ... "Like 'em cloaked in Gucci and in scandal / Like my whiskey sour / And poison thorny flowers” -- sure, could be generic, but diehard Swifties are convinced it’s 100% Blake.

One X user, @damnitchristine, went full detective -- pointing out Blake’s the face of Gucci, played a florist in "It Ends With Us," and supposedly has her own whiskey brand -- which, fun fact, she doesn’t ... she actually has a canned cocktail line called Betty Booze.

Taylor Swift has dropped her most recent album and fans are already picking it apart like it's the Zapruder film ... and they insist one song is totally a diss track.

Here's the deal ... everyone on the planet knows "The Life of a Showgirl" dropped last night ... and there's a song on it titled "Actually Romantic" ... which Swifties are positive takes shots at Charli XCX.

Bear with us ... in the track are the lyrics, "I heard you call me ‘Boring Barbie’ when the coke’s got you brave. High-fived my ex and then you said you’re glad he ghosted me. Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face.”

Think Joe Alwyn was in the clear? Think again ... Taylor Swift just dropped a Shakespearean shade-bomb at the "Hamlet" star on "The Life of a Showgirl," and Swifties are screaming -- it’s totally about him!

On "The Fate of Ophelia," Taylor flips Ophelia’s drowning tragedy on its head ... fans think that "dug me out of my grave" line is all about Travis rescuing her from the mess Joe left behind.

Taylor’s basically saying she went from Ophelia-level despair to full-on redemption thanks to her fiancé -- clearly choosing him over Joe, who, funnily enough, just starred in a new "Hamlet" movie. The connection? Oh, it’s so there!
