The first-ever Daisy Chain Fields has wrapped, but the love fest it inspired continues on. In a post after the charity festival, performer Chappell Roan gushed about the experience and praised organizer Olivia Rodrigo, while also revealing that the event reignited her own hunger for playing shows.

“Thank you for having me @daisychainfields !” Roan began on Monday (Aug. 31), sharing photos on Instagram of her rocking a purple outfit and makeup look on stage. “@oliviarodrigo u r so inspiring in so many ways. We need artists like u who use their platform for good and are such a light in the world. Thank you for being you and supporting artists like me , u have changed my life in so many ways <3”

“It felt so good to perform again, I didn’t realize how much I missed it,” the hitmaker continued. “Really lived out my fifth element fantasy.”

In the comments, Rodrigo gushed back: “u inspire me so much and I am so lucky to know u!”

Daisy Chain Fields on Saturday (Aug. 29) marked Roan’s first live show in months, aside from her guest appearance at Noah Kahan’s concert at Rose Bowl Stadium earlier in August. Aside from a few festival appearances in February and May, the Missouri native has spent much of 2026 out of the public eye as she presumably works on the follow-up to her breakout 2023 album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, which climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in August 2024.

Roan and Rodrigo have been friends for many years, with both ladies frequently collaborating with producer Dan Nigro. The “Subway” singer was one of Rodrigo’s openers on both the Sour Tour in 2022 and the Guts World Tour in 2024.

In addition to Roan, the lineup for Daisy Chain Fields included Devon Again — who filled in for KATSEYE after the girl group withdrew from the festival after member Megan sprained her ankle — as well as Mitski, Doechii, The Breeders, Garbage, Bikini Kill and more. Stevie Nicks, Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette also joined Rodrigo’s headlining set at the end of the night as special guests.

All of the proceeds from the event will go toward charities supporting women and girls, with Rodrigo announcing recently that ticket sales had raised $10 million for benefiting organizations such as Planned Parenthood and Center for Reproductive Rights. Shortly afterward, Melinda French Gates matched the donation, bringing it up to $20 million.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Gaga Music, the independent Australian publishing and sync specialist, forms a new partnership with London-based Warp Publishing.

Both independent music businesses have worked together since 2017, with Gaga Music initially representing Warp Publishing’s catalogue across Australia and New Zealand, followed by Warp repping Gaga’s catalogue in the United Kingdom.

Announced Monday, Aug. 31 on the eve of the 2026 BIGSOUND conference in Brisbane, the new arrangement extends that alliance, with Warp now an active partner in Gaga Music alongside the Australian business’ founder Grant Gillies. At the same time, Warp Publishing director Theo Seffusatti and general manager Nadine Riezouw join Gillies on the board of Gaga as directors.

The new deal should “expand global opportunities” for songwriters, composers and represented catalogues, reads a statement.

Financial terms weren’t disclosed.

“In a climate increasingly shaped by consolidation and external investment, it’s important that independent music companies continue to offer a genuinely creative and ethical alternative in rights management,” comments Gillies. “Warp is an iconic name in the global music community, with an extraordinary history and forward-thinking roster. It’s a privilege to be working more closely together.”

In a joint statement, Seffusatti, director of Warp Publishing and New Zealand publisher Heard & Seen comments: “This partnership reflects a shared commitment to independence, artist-focused development and long term creative growth through sync, score and songwriting opportunities. It also signals a continued investment in building meaningful international pathways for songwriters and composers across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region.”

Adds Nadine Riezouw, GM of Warp Publishing and former GM of Gaga Music: “Having been part of both companies, I know that they share the same values and unwavering support for independent artists. Being able to strengthen this ethos now jointly, is a proud step in offering further opportunities in a way that is truly independent, transparent and sustainable for our songwriters.”

With the new arrangement, Gaga Music splits from its former partners and stakeholders at Inertia Music. Gilles saluted the company and its team, noting “their contribution will always remain an important part of our story.”

Established in 2007, Gaga Music administers and pitches over 100,000 titles and operates through offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland. Currently, its catalogue includes works from Third Side Music, Arts & Crafts, Secretly Canadian, PIAS, Thrill Jockey, City Slang, Low Profile, Erased Tapes and others.

Warp Publishing has been in business for 15 years, and counting, with offices in London and Los Angeles. The iconic brand provides  music publishing services for such artists as Kelvin Krash, Danny Brown, Yves Tumor, Kelsey Lu, Daniel Lopatin, Khruangbin, Death Grips, Caterina Barbieri, Kwes, Dry Cleaning, Bibio, Boards of Canada and many others.

For seven straight decades, from the 1960s on through the 2020s, the late Dolly Parton charted an iconic string of 50 albums on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart during her lifetime — including 15 top 40-charted sets. Following her passing on Aug. 25, Parton racked up a 16th top 40 set with Ultimate Dolly Parton.

From her debut with Porter Wagoner on Just the Two of Us in 1969, on through her most recent studio album to debut, 2023’s Rockstar, the singer-songwriter left a remarkable impression on Billboard’s signature album chart.

Parton notched four early albums on the Billboard 200 with her former TV co-star and duet partner Wagoner in 1969-71. She charted her first solo entry also in 1969, with My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy.

Parton would not reach the top 40 of the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart until 1978, when Here You Come Again climbed to a No. 20 peak off the strength of its smash title track. The single sailed to No. 3 on the overall Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, and marked her first of eight top 40 hits on the ranking.

After the Here You Come Again album, Parton would hit the top 40 again in short order with Heartbreaker (No. 27 in 1978), Great Balls of Fire (No. 40 in 1979) and 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs (No. 11 in 1981). The latter boasted her first Hot 100 No. 1 in “9 to 5,” which also scored Parton her first Academy Award nomination, for best original song (from the film of the same name, in which Parton co-starred with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin).

Parton would hit the top 40 of the Billboard 200 again in late 1984 with her holiday album Once Upon a Christmas, with Kenny Rogers. Just a year before, the pair teamed up on Parton’s second Hot 100 No. 1, “Islands in the Stream.”

In 1987, Parton joined Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris for the successful Trio album, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and granted Parton her first top 10 on the chart. Trio would garner Parton her first, and so far only, Grammy Award nomination for album of the year.

In the 1990s, Parton notched two more top 40 albums on the Billboard 200 with Eagle When She Flies (No. 24 in 1991) and Slow Dancing With the Moon (No. 16 in 1993). In the 2000s, she brought Backwoods Barbie to the top 40, hitting No. 17 in 2009.

In 2014, Parton achieved her first top 10 on the Billboard 200 unaccompanied by any other acts, as Blue Smoke debuted and peaked at No. 6. She followed it with another top 40 album two years later, Pure & Simple, which hit No. 11.

In the 2020s, Parton has claimed four new top 40-charted albums — more than in any other decade. In 2020, she reached No. 16 with A Holly Dolly Christmas and followed it with Run, Rose, Run (No. 34 in 2022) and the best-of compilation Diamonds & Rhinestones: The Greatest Hits Collection (No. 27 in 2022).

In 2023, Parton claimed her highest charting Billboard 200 album ever, as the all-star collabrations project Rockstar debuted and peaked at No. 3.

The Rockstar project was promoted as Parton’s first rock album, and its recording was sparked by Parton’s induction to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. Through her career, Parton primarily recorded country music, but took detours (via albums and songs) into such genres as Americana/folk, bluegrass, children’s music, Christian, dance/electronic and pop.

The 30-song Rockstar album mixed covers and original tunes and included guests such as Pat Benatar, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Elton John, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Chris Stapleton, Ringo Starr, Sting and Steven Tyler.

In the wake of her death, Parton collected a fourth top 10 — and her second-highest-charted album ever — on the Billboard 200 with her 2003 best-of compilation Ultimate Dolly Parton, when it reentered at No. 5 on the Sept. 5, 2026-dated chart.

After her death at age 80 on Aug. 25, there have been a number of tributes for Dolly Parton. And now, there’s a new TV special titled Remembering Dolly: A Rhinestone Life that celebrates the musical and cultural impact of the Grammy winner over the last six decades.

Co-hosted by Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner of Entertainment Tonight, the TV special pays tribute to Parton’s life and music legacy with a series of interviews with her throughout her career. It also features tributes from recording artists, such as Dionne Warwick, Melissa Etheridge, Diane Warren, Debbie Allen, Jennifer Nettles and others. It airs on Sunday (Aug. 30).

Olivia Rodrigo turned a last-minute lineup shakeup into one of the defining moments of her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival on Saturday (Aug. 29), calling Alanis Morissette to the stage after Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O pulled out of the all-women event at Great Park in Irvine, Calif.

Rodrigo delivered the news of the cancellation to the crowd herself, framing it gently before revealing the silver lining.

“The bad news is Karen O is not able to make it tonight, she was one of the first people who said yes to Daisy Chain but she has a personal matter that requires her to be elsewhere,” Rodrigo said.

The good news walked out moments later. Rodrigo welcomed Morissette as the fill-in, and the two launched into “Ironic,” the enduring single from Morissette’s 1995 landmark Jagged Little Pill. Then came the twist worth talking about: partway through, they reworked the song’s most-quoted scenario, flipping its “beautiful wife” to a “beautiful husband” — a small rewrite with a pointed wink at a festival built on an all-women, queer-inclusive bill that also features Chappell Roan and Doechii.

The duet doubled as a full-circle moment for Rodrigo, who has long named Jagged Little Pill as a cornerstone of her own songwriting. She inducted Morissette into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022, and the pair previously shared a stage on Rodrigo’s Sour tour, trading verses on “You Oughta Know” in Los Angeles.

Rodrigo staged Daisy Chain Fields at a career high. Her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, debuted atop the Billboard 200 in June with 485,000 equivalent album units — the biggest week of her career and the largest week of 2026 for any solo artist. Lead single “drop dead” bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, her fourth chart-topping debut. With the release, she became just the second artist ever, after Beyoncé, to send each of her first three studio albums to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 while landing at least one Hot 100 leader from each.

The one-day festival, which raised $10 million for nonprofits supporting women and girls, arrives just weeks before Rodrigo launches her Unraveled Tour.

KATSEYE made it to Olivia Rodrigo‘s Daisy Chain Fields festival after all, though their appearance was short.

Three of the group’s current active members — Yoonchae, Lara and Megan, who sustained an ankle injury during rehearsal that led to KATSEYE pulling out of performing this weekend — unexpectedly showed up on stage Saturday (Aug. 29) just before Devon Again, the act booked to fill in for what would’ve been KATSEYE’s time slot. The trio said they were honored to introduce nonprofit Baby2Baby, an organization that provides children in poverty with diapers, clothing and other necessities, ahead of Devon Again’s performance.

Addressing their last-minute exit from the lineup, Megan expressed, “We’re so disappointed that we can’t perform today on stage, but my ankle is on hiatus.”

“But our hearts are definitely not,” she added. “We’re sending all of our love to Olivia and this beautiful community that she built at Daisy Chain Fields. We’re so happy to be here and show as much support as we can. We love you, Olivia. Thank you for letting us be a small part of this.” (Check out a video clip that was captured of the moment here.)

KATSEYE announced on Thursday that Megan had sprained her ankle, and that they’d no longer be performing at Rodrigo’s inaugural charity festival.

“My doctors have advised me to stay off it and let it heal so I can be ready for tour,” Megan said on Friday.

KATSEYE’s scheduled appearance at the Irvine, Calif., music festival curated by Rodrigo came just after the group earned its first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with the EP WILD.

KATSEYE’s active lineup presently consists of Yoonchae, Lara, Megan and Daniela, who wasn’t seen on stage Saturday. Fellow members Manon and Sophia are on hiatus, with Manon focusing on her wellness and Sophia focusing on her mental health.

On Friday, Rodrigo announced that ticket sales for Saturday’s day-long music event had brought in $10 million that will go directly to 10 nonprofit organizations supporting women: Planned Parenthood, Center for Reproductive Rights, Baby2Baby, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, FreeFrom, Jhpiego, Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, National Domestic Workers Alliance, National Institute for Reproductive Health and National Women’s Law Center.

Tennessee is honoring Dolly Parton in a major way following the country music icon’s death.

On Friday (Aug. 28), Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and Nashville International Airport (BNA) announced plans to rename the travel hub in Parton’s honor following her death earlier this week.

“Dolly Parton’s extraordinary life is forever woven into the fabric of our state,” Lee said in a statement. “At a place where Tennessee welcomes the world, it is fitting that Nashville International Airport would bear the name of our state’s favorite daughter and greet travelers with the enduring legacy of Dolly’s music, generosity, faith, and kindness.”

The announcement comes just days after the Queen of Country died on Aug. 25 following a “brief battle with cancer,” according to her team.

Parton’s team “expressed their appreciation for the extraordinary outpouring of support to honor Dolly,” Lee wrote, adding that they are “touched by the idea and open to continuing the conversation.”

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell also voiced his support for renaming the airport in a statement shared on Instagram.

“Dolly was in the process of working with us on a remarkable hotel and museum — SongTeller — that she called her love letter to Nashville,” O’Connell wrote. “Now it’s our turn to share a love letter to Dolly — by renaming Nashville International Airport to Dolly Parton International Airport in Nashville.”

The Metro Nashville Airport Authority’s (MNAA) current naming policy, along with Lee’s proposal to rename Nashville International Airport, will be discussed at a meeting scheduled for Sept. 17. Additional details are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, according to the governor’s statement.

“BNA is the front door to Music City, and with that comes a responsibility to reflect the very best of who we are as a community,” MNAA president and CEO Doug Kreulen said.

Earlier this week, a Change.org petition calling for Nashville International Airport to be renamed Dolly Parton International Airport in honor of the singer-songwriter gained significant support. As of Saturday morning (Aug. 29), the petition had collected more than 164,000 signatures.

Miguel is speaking out about the harassment, threats and racism he and his family are facing.

The R&B singer posted a lengthy statement to social media on Friday (Aug. 28), describing how he and his family have been subjected to racism, threats, stalking, false allegations and an invasion of privacy. He also said there have been “anti-Asian attacks” directed at his partner Margaret Zhang, who is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child.

“Over the past year, my family and the people i love have been subjected to racism, harassment, stalking, invasions of privacy, and false allegations,” the Grammy-winning singer wrote. “Recent racist and anti-Asian attacks directed at my partner – including comments and DMs, as well as abusive comments about my child – crossed a line that should require no explanation.”

Miguel said he understands he will be open to certain aspects of criticism when it comes to his career as a public figure but believes a line has been crossed when it seeps into his family life and private affairs.

“People can have opinions about me. about the music. about the work. I accept the realities that come with doing anything in public,” he added. “But racism, threats, harassment, stalking, invasions of privacy, and targeting of children are abuse. not opinion.”

The 40-year-old continued: “It doesn’t become acceptable because someone dresses it up as criticism, fandom, speculation, or ‘concern.’ responsibility also lies with organizations and individuals that knowingly amplify or enable racism, harassment, or false allegations for attention and engagement. if you participate in this behavior, you are not supporting me. you are not part of this community.”

The “Adorn” singer explained that legal action will be taken against those who continue to attack his family.

“Where legal and ethical lines have been crossed, action has been and will continue to be taken,” Miguel stated. “To everyone who has treated my family with kindness, dignity, and respect: we see you. we deeply appreciate you.”

The jarring post struck a chord with Miguel’s IG following, as an outpouring of support flooded his comment section. “Overwhelmed reading your comments of support loved ones, thank you,” he responded.

Miguel and Zhang, who is the former editor-in-chief of Vogue China, welcomed a son, Angel, in 2024, and are expecting a second child.

On the music front, Miguel released his CAOS album in October 2025.
