Charli XCX is taking a step back from social media. The “Beg For You” singer issued a personal statement to her Twitter on Thursday (Feb. 10), and revealed that she is currently struggling with her mental health as people online have criticized the rollout of her forthcoming album, Crash, and will be lessening her internet presence as a result.

“I’ve noticed lately that a few people seem quite angry at me — for the choices of songs I’ve chosen to release, for the way I’ve decided to roll out my campaign, for the things I need to do to fund what will be the greatest tour I’ve ever done, for things I say, things I do etc.,” she explained. “I’ve been grappling quite a lot with my mental health the past few months and obviously it makes negativity and criticism harder to handle when I come across it.”

This doesn’t mean that Charli will be gone from the internet entirely. “In the meantime, I’m thinking of just drafting tweets from afar when I feel like saying something and having someone else post them, just for a little while, because I can’t really handle it here right now,” the singer concluded her post.

After the Charli released her statement, she announced that the official music video for her and Rina Sawayama‘s “Beg For You” will be arriving on Friday at 9 a.m PT. The single is the third offering of what fans can expect from her final album with Atlantic Records, and comes after the release of “Good Ones” and “New Shapes” featuring Caroline Polachek and Christine and the Queens. Crash is set to arrive on March 18.

The star has previously been open about her mental health. “[I go into] my thoughts and feelings about my mental state and what life is supposed to be as an artist, my depression, and my insecurities,” she told SPIN in 2019 about using her music to candidly explore her mental health, and how that impacted her third album. “I’m being more honest than ever before. It’s been very therapeutic.”

Everything has changed … again. Ed Sheeran gave an early taste of the video for the remix of “The Joker and the Queen” featuring Taylor Swift on Thursday (Feb. 10).

“The Joker And The Queen with @taylorswift13 is out tonight at midnight UK time and the video will premiere on youtube at the same time,” the “Shivers” singer wrote on social media.

The premise for the new visual appears to be a sequel to the duo’s “Everything Has Changed” video. The teaser’s two stars look just like the little kids from Sheeran and Swift’s 2013 collaboration, who were making blanket forts, reading Nicholas Sparks and slow dancing in their elementary school gym. From the looks of Sheeran’s sneak peak, “The Joker and the Queen” will pick up when the kids are around high-school or college age, living parallel lives and flying solo at parties.

Possibly the sweetest detail of the teaser comes at the four-second mark, where two different pairs of hands hold up separate snapshots of Little Ed playing guitar for Little Taylor in the “Everything Has Changed” video. There’s no indication yet if Sheeran and Swift themselves will appear in the video, but if it’s truly a parallel to 2013, they may have a small cameo toward the end.

Sheeran performed his solo version of “The Joker and the Queen” at this year’s BRIT Awards on Tuesday (Feb. 8), where he took home the award for songwriter of the year. “Thanks @BRITs for having me last night,” he tweeted. “I can’t wait for you to hear the new version of The Joker And The Queen with @taylorswift13 on Friday.”

He and Swift are longtime friends and collaborators. After kicking off their professional relationship with “Everything Has Changed,” Sheeran joined Swift on her 2013-2014 world Red Tour, and had a verse years later on her Reputation track “End Game.” An old project of theirs titled “Run” was uncovered last year and released on Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version).

After Republic Records finished 2021 as the year’s top label, the Universal Music Group label is starting 2022 with an expanded partnership with one of the world’s biggest K-pop labels: JYP Entertainment.

Following Republic and JYP’s initial strategic partnership in 2020 that helped grow TWICE’s footprint in the United States, Billboard can exclusively reveal the first details on the expansion of the alliance that will include JYP boy band Stray Kids as well as girl group ITZY.

JYP Entertainment CEO Jimmy Jeong says in a statement, “We are beyond delighted to move forward with Republic Records, the most outstanding label in the United States, in developing the major artist roster of the two companies’ hereafter, starting with the successful kickoff TWICE has brought. We have absolute confidence that, together, we will lead the rapidly changing music industry from both in and out, alongside our prominent artists’ creations.”

Republic Records founder/CEO Monte Lipman adds, “JYP Entertainment is one of the most influential voices of our generation. With founder J.Y. Park at its helm, alongside CEO Jimmy Jeong, their passion and vision for this collaboration is incredibly exciting. Having worked with JYP for many years, I admire them as esteemed colleagues and friends.”

Under the scaled-up partnership, Stray Kids, ITZY and TWICE will all look to extend their reach further globally with support from Republic as well as Imperial, the independent music company that helped launch and market TWICE’s latest albums. The labels has previously helped TWICE landed two top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, as well as the girl group’s first Hot 100 and Pop Airplay hit with the English-language single “The Feels.”

Since their 2018 debut, the eight-member Stray Kids have logged 11 entries on the World Albums chart, and are heavily involved in the writing and production of their work that includes several songs released in English. Since ITZY started in February 2019, the female quintet has released all of their singles in English and saw their Crazy in Love album peak at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 last October.

The partnership also adds to the growing amount of K-pop acts on Republic’s roster, with boy band TOMORROW X TOGETHER and girl group TRI.BE in addition to TWICE, Stray Kids and ITZY.

While specifics on what the first step of the expanded partnership were not shared, Republic and JYP Entertainment note that there will be “more news to be announced soon.” TWICE dropped a Benny Benassi remix of “The Feels” last week, and announced two additional dates for the North American leg of their ‘III’ world tour in Los Angeles and New York after selling out all five of the initial arena dates.

It’s an understatement to say that the Queen City is roaring right now thanks to the Super Bowl-bound Cincinnati Bengals. Everywhere you go there are tiger stripes, orange gear and hometown-proud folks rocking their version of quarterback Joe Burrow’s signature tinted Tony Stark shades.

And while Joey Franchise has cemented his new BFF status with his favorite rapper, Kid Cudi, the Cleveland-bred MC isn’t the only one pumping out “Who Dey” energy these days. Jim Peterik, the co-writer of Survivor‘s 1982 Grammy-winning Billboard No. 1 smash “Eye of the Tiger,” is feeling it too. In celebration of the Bengals’ first trip to the big game in more than three decades, the 71-year-old rocker — and current guitarist in Pride of Lions and Ides of March — has re-written the Rocky III pump-up anthem in support of the boys in orange and black.

“There is so much tiger energy in the air this year. We’ve got the 40th anniversary of ‘The Eye of the Tiger,’ it’s the Chinese New Year – the Year of the Tiger and we have star quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow of the LSU tigers taking the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl,” said Peterik — the Survivor co-founder who penned the song with the group’s guitarist, Frankie Sullivan — as he punctuated his tribute with an unplugged version of the track’s stirring guitar refrain.

“Joe Burrow has the eye of the tiger and he’s going to bring this one home for Cincinnati!” Peterik added before singing the song’s familiar, blood-stirring chorus, “It’s the eye of the tiger/ It’s the thrill of the fight/ Rising up to the challenge of our rival/ And the last known survivor/ Stalks his prey in the night/ And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger.”

“I may not be the biggest football fan, but when the Bengals are at the Super Bowl, I know who I’m rooting for! Joe Burrow’s got the EYE OF THE TIGER – this one’s for you!” Peterik wrote alongside the video, which ends with him singing some revamped lyrics — “Joe Burrow got the eye of the tiger/ The Bengals got the eye of the tiger” — while sporting an orange blazer to go with his tiger-striped shirt and acoustic guitar.

“Eye of the Tiger” spent six consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1982, was nominated for an Oscar and earned the band a best rock performance by a duo or group with vocals at the 25th Grammy Awards. The Bengals take on the Los Angeles Rams at 6:30 ET on Sunday on NBC.

Many fans were hoping for a Beyoncé vs. Jay-Z showdown at the 94th annual Academy Awards. It would have been historic — the first time a husband and wife competed in the same category. It didn’t come to pass — Beyoncé’s “Be Alive” from King Richard was nominated for best original song on Feb. 8, but Jay-Z’s “Guns Go Bang” from The Harder They Fall missed the cut. But the power pair are competing for best song written and/or recorded for a film at the 2022 Guild of Music Supervisors Awards. The 12th annual GMS Awards nominations were announced on Thursday (Feb. 10).

The Carters are competing with Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s  “Dos Oruguitas” from Encanto, which is also Oscar-nominated, as well as two songs that weren’t even shortlisted (much less nominated) for an Oscar: “My Father’s Daughter” from Flag Day and “Fire in the Sky” from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

The GMS Awards will be presented on March 20, one week before the 94th annual Academy Awards will be presented at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The GMS Awards will be held midway through the final-round voting period for the Oscars (March 17-22), so a win here could help in Oscar balloting for best original song.

Diane Warren, whose “Somehow You Do” from Four Good Days is Oscar-nominated, will receive the Icon Award at the GMS Awards, as previously announced.

Winning a GMS Award is no guarantee of Oscar success. “Hear My Voice” from The Trial of the Chicago 7 won the GMS Award last year. It was nominated for an Oscar, but lost to “Fight for You” from Judas and the Black Messiah.

The GMS Awards don’t have categories to honor film scorers. Their focus is on music supervision in film, television, documentaries, trailers, advertising, and video games. For more information on the ceremony, visit GMSAwards.com.

The Guild of Music Supervisors is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2010 with the goal of promoting the role of the music supervisor in all forms of media. The guild holds educational and networking events throughout the year, including the annual State of Music in Media Conference.

Here’s the complete list of 2022 GMS Awards nominees.
