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.”

Spotify Removes 75 Million Songs Identified as ‘AI-Generated Slop or Spam’

Spotify is making room for more real music as it scrapes more than 75 million songs identified as “slop or spam” from the streaming service. The removed releases were flagged as having made “serious or repeated violations of our rules,” the platform shared in its one-year update on the plans it made to put AI protections in place for artists, songwriters, and producers.

An additional 50 million songs have been filtered out of recommendations for users following repeated complaints regarding quality. “We looked closely at the tracks listeners were skipping, ignoring, or telling us they didn’t want to hear,” Spotify shared in a recent newsletter. “A clear pattern emerged: these tracks were consistently ones identified as slop or spam.”
