Bad Bunny keeps on making history and setting records. This past weekend, the Puerto Rican superstar took the Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour to Sydney, Australia, marking his official live debut in the country. It was a long time coming — Bad Bunny brought nearly 90,000 attendees to ENGIE Stadium with his two sold-out shows. The turnout set an attendance record, according to Live Nation Australia.

“Bad Bunny breaking records in Australia,” an Instagram post from the ticketing and promotion company wrote. In the post’s graphic, Live Nation Australia wrote that the massive crowd “mark[ed] the highest number of attendees ever at a concert at ENGIE Stadium in Sydney.”



In a review of the show, Rolling Stone Australia noted that “although only around 0.7 percent of the Australian population speaks Spanish, it’s heartening to see that most of the crowd tonight clearly do, with them regularly reacting to Bad Bunny’s Spanish language-only banter with eruptions of cheers and applause.”

Bad Bunny’s Australian attendance record is the latest win for the star as he continues to catapult his global reach. In February, the Latin superstar earned his first-ever solo Number One on the Billboard Hot 100. On Saturday, March 7, Bad Bunny will perform in Tokyo for the first time as part of Spotify’s Billions Club Live series. (The performance also marks his live debut in Asia.) He’ll then take a much-needed rest before kicking off the European leg of his Debí Tirar Más Fotos world tour in May.

Kanye West Sued Over ‘Cowardly’ Restaurant Punch: ‘Not A Case of Mistaken Identity’

Kanye West is accused in a new lawsuit of sucker-punching a man at a Los Angeles restaurant — then beating the man as he lay unconscious on the concrete floor two years ago.

The plaintiff, suing as a John Doe over “credible security concerns” and to avoid “further reputational harm,” says he was sitting with his brother in the private venue’s outdoor garden when West, now known as Ye, allegedly blindsided him with a blow around 11 p.m. on April 16, 2024.

Jack White Questions How Christians Can Support Trump ‘After This Blasphemy’

Jack White criticized Donald Trump for comparing himself to Jesus in an AI-generated image. White, a vocal opponent of Trump and his policies, shared a lengthy post on Instagram alongside the photo.

“Hey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he’d present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem? Well … check out your boy now!” White wrote. “Listen, if the felonies, epstein files, rapes, bombing of schoolchildren, gestapo ICE agents attacking his own citizens, threatening to invade Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran all didn’t convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil’ post will?”

Taylor Swift Leads 2026 American Music Awards Nominations

The American Music Awards will return this year for its 52nd iteration, kicking off on May 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Area in Las Vegas. Taylor Swift leads with eight nominations including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year. The pop star is trailed by Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen, Olivia Dean, and Sombr with seven nods each.

Swift has had a monumental year thanks to her record-breaking 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. The record’s lead single, “The Fate of Ophelia,” is up for Song of the Year, Best Pop Song, and Best Music Video, while “Elizabeth Taylor” (which many critics cite as the centerpiece of the LP) is up for Song of the Summer, one of the 11 newly added categories to the annual ceremony. If Swift takes home the award in all eight categories, she will tie Michael Jackson (1984) and Whitney Houston (1994) for most wins in one night.
