Lisa will continue to make history this fall, becoming the first K-pop artist to stage a Las Vegas residency.

The Blackpink rapper-singer will kick off two weekends at Caesars Palace, hitting the Colosseum on November 13, 14, 27, and 28. General tickets go on sale April 23 at 1 pm E.T. Details about her set and any potential cameos from her fellow Blackpink members are still unknown.

The announcement arrives on the heels of the Blackpink EP Deadline, their first new music since 2022’s Born Pink. Lisa released her solo debut, Alter Ego, last year, featuring guests such as Rosalía (“New Woman”), Doja Cat and Raye (“Born Again”), Megan Thee Stallion (“Rapunzel”), and more.

Following her acting debut in Season Three of The White Lotus, Lisa will continue to work on the big screen, in the upcoming Netflix action-thriller film Tygo, an Extraction spinoff. She’ll co-star alongside Squid Game‘s Lee Jin-uk and Korean actor Don Lee. She’s also getting her own documentary, which is currently in the works at Sony Music Vision and directed by Sue Kim.

When The White Lotus wrapped in April 2025, Lisa reflected on working with Mike White and saying farewell to her character, Mook. “It was the greatest honor to be part of this show as my first acting gig alongside such incredible actors. And I’m so proud to be able to share my culture and show the beauty of Thailand to the world. Mook has changed my life in a way where I am learning more about myself and my capabilities. My Sunday nights may feel a lot emptier, but closing out The White Lotus with a full heart.”

Stephen Colbert Uses Copyrighted ‘Peanuts’ Music During Finale: ‘I Hope This Doesn’t Cost CBS Any Money!’

During the final episode of The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert purposely used copyrighted music during a segment, a move that could potentially cost his former bosses at CBS a lot of dough if the music was unauthorized, and the usage were to end in a lawsuit.

“Peanuts is a powerful brand and corporation in and of itself. Anyone illegally using that music is going to have to pay through the nose,” he said, before addressing his band leader, Louis Cato. “Louis, Louis! Is the band right now playing the same Peanuts music I just said people were being sued for, for using without permission? Is that what you’re doing?” The band was indeed launching into the familiar Vince Guaraldi song. “Oh no, I hope this doesn’t cost CBS any money!” Colbert said.

Spotify-Universal Deal Suggests Labels Think AI Music’s Future Is Letting You Play With Their Catalog

It’s becoming increasingly clear that major labels are dealing with AI-generated music’s rise by embracing and monetizing it, letting fans use carefully controlled versions of the technology to create variations on songs the labels control. In the process, they hope, they’ll generate more royalties. The latest evidence is a just-announced high-profile new deal between the world’s largest record company, Universal Music Group, and Spotify to “launch a new tool allowing fans to create covers and remixes of their favorite songs from participating artists and songwriters.”

The strategy, which would essentially turn artists’ work into a kind of digital Play-Doh, first became clear late last year, when Universal and Warner Music each settled lawsuits with the AI service Udio and struck deals to create a subscription service with the same kind of song-morphing capabilities. The Spotify deal extends that template onto the most popular streaming platform, and as with the prior announcements, Universal suggested that artists will be able to decide whether to allow their songs to be part of it.

Jack Antonoff Just Wants to Talk

We used to dream more, Jack Antonoff muses one sunny spring morning on the top floor of Electric Lady Studios. He means it literally. “You used to dream at night, and you’d be filled with these weird feelings,” the hitmaker and Bleachers bandleader says, “and you’d wake up humming on those dreams. Maybe you’d have some coffee and they’d heighten. You’d go for a walk, feel that subconscious and collective unconscious too, bouncing off those things. Now, the second you look at your phone, all that disappears.”

With a Bernie Sanders-esque flourish, he adds, “The relationship to the phone has, only for the benefit of billionaires, robbed us of that time.”
