On August 1, Lady Gaga kicked off her hotly-anticipated Joanne World Tour in Edmonton, Canada. And while the triple threat’s stunning vocal power and high-energy performances are infectious, it was her performance outfits that stole the spotlight. From a black leather bodysuit with plenty of fringe detailing and colorful embroidery from Alexander Wang to her baby blue diamond and pearl encrusted custom bodysuit (and guitar case) from emerging NYC-based designer Zaldy, there was no shortage of classic “mother monster” attention grabbing looks.

Is it too late for Justin Bieber to say he’s sorry? Not according to a lengthy note the singer wrote to fans on Wednesday night (Aug. 2), in which he attempted to explain why he unexpectedly pulled the plug on the final 14 dates on his global Purpose World Tour.
“Learning and growing hasn’t always been easy but knowing I’m not alone has kept me going,” he wrote in the letter. “I want you all to know this tour has been unbelievable and has taught me so much about myself… I am reminded of how blessed I am to have a voice in this world. I’ve learned the more you appreciate your calling the more you want to protect your calling.”

An unassuming fan once tweeted that Sheryl Crow would be “rolling in her grave” if she heard that her former duet partner Kid Rock is running for Senate. Crow’s response was creative, hilarious, explosive and, of course, musical: She sat down and wrote a song called “Dude I’m Still Alive,” which she then shared a live performance of — where else? — over Twitter.
Among the song’s many highlights is the line in most direct response to the original tweet: “If Kid Rock runs for Senate, I wouldn’t be surprised/ But not over my dead body, cause dude, I’m still alive!”
