Swift's longtime attorney appeared in Los Angeles court on Wednesday (May 27) to fight a lawsuit over the title of her record-smashing latest album. Taylor Swift attends the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre on March 26, 2026 in Hollywood, California. Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Trending on Billboard Taylor Swift’s longtime lawyer argued in court on Wednesday (May 27) that the First Amendment protects The Life of a Showgirl from trademark claims. Douglas Baldridge appeared in Los Angeles federal court to oppose Las Vegas performer Maren Wade’s injunction bid. Wade, who puts on a cabaret show called “Confessions of a Showgirl,” alleges Swift’s latest No. 1 album infringes her intellectual property and wants to block The Life of a Showgirl merch sales until the litigation is fully resolved. Related Judge Serena R. Murillo opened up the hearing by suggesting that her “real concern” in this case is whether The Life of a Showgirl should be shielded from trademark litigation because the album is a piece of art — that is, a so-called expressive work under First Amendment case law. Wade’s attorney, Jaymie Parkkinen, argued on Wednesday that the answer is no because Swift uses the album title not just for

At midyear, business is good. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the 50 biggest tours of the first half of the chart year collectively earned more than $2.7 billion and sold 20.7 million tickets. Compared to last year’s first half, those figures are up — not with the velocity of the supercharged, early post-pandemic standard, but with single-digit percentage gains that show promise as the business heads into the prime of stadium season. Billboard’s midyear Boxscore charts are based on reported shows between Oct. 1, 2025, and March 31, and ranked by cumulative gross. International grosses are converted to USD. Related Lady Gaga and Bad Bunny top the midyear listing — with the former securing the top spot in a photo finish. Gaga leads Bunny by a margin of less than 3%, and only overtook him in the final week of the tracking period. Both acts posted stunning grosses for such a short span of time. Gaga’s The Mayhem Ball is the highest-grossing tour at midyear, with $236.2 million grossed — the highest midyear gross in Boxscore history (dating to 1991), outpacing U2’s Sphere stint ($231.6 million) from two years ago. U2 got there by brute force, charging an

Comedian and podcaster Brooke Averick is adding "author" to her ever-expanding list of accomplishments. Her debut novel, Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose It, hitting shelves May 26, has all the charm of an early-2000s rom-com, while blending quirky humor with a meaningful exploration of mental health. The novel follows an eccentric and endearing hopeless romantic named Phoebe, who is one month away from becoming a 30-year-old virgin. Determined to finally lose it, Phoebe crafts a checklist that's sure to help her get laid before the big day, if her own anxiety doesn't get in the way first. We recently sat down with Brooke to discuss this highly anticipated debut, her journey with Phoebe, and what she hopes her readers take away from Phoebe's story. 1. Can you pinpoint the moment of inspiration that made you say, "This is more than just an interesting idea. I need to write this book!"? Brooke: Something happened to me a few years ago, and I can't go into detail without spoiling the book, but something happened — and it was not the most amazing thing — but I was able to cope by being like, "Wow, this would be a really good book." I think
