Did You Hear? … Adele is Back, Billie Eilish is Heading Down Under and Other Top Stories

I can confidently say that I’m Happier Than Ever because seven-time Grammy Award-winner Billie Eilish announced earlier this week that she’ll be returning Down Under for her world tour. Fans of the singer can catch her in Australia and New Zealand in September 2022, alongside her brother/producer FINNEAS.

The all-ages arena shows will mark the 19-year-old’s fourth time visiting Australia and will feature songs from her latest album Happier Than Ever.

“It’s just gonna be crazy. It’s gonna be jumping and screaming and getting low,” Billie told triple j. “It’s gonna be so much fun. I cannot wait.”

The Queen is back! Adele released a snippet of her first song on Twitter after a six-year hiatus.

I can’t believe it’s been six whole years since we were blessed with Hello, but moving on. The 21-second black-and-white snippet shows the star putting a cassette with the song’s title, Easy On Me, into a car stereo. We also get to hear the song’s instrumental introduction, which goes for 13 seconds. It’s obvious Adele knew we wouldn’t be able to wait after she made the official announcement, which is why she’s releasing the song on Friday, October 15.

Fans have been speculating her return after a projection of the number 30 appeared in different places around the world. There were also rumours circulating on Twitter. The clip, which features the 33-year-old’s signature winged liner, was watched six million times in the first hour.

The grand finale of The Masked Singer aired on Tuesday night, and wow, what a great ending! Not only were Dolly and Mullet unmasked to reveal Em Rusciano and Axle Whitehead, but Vampire was crowned the winner.

And who was behind Vampire? It was none other than 2000s ICON Anastacia. Many predicted it, simply because that powerful voice can only belong to one person, but the unveiling was still exciting. The Left Outside Alone singer was thrilled to not only win the competition but to be back on stage performing.

We had the chance to interview her and ask her all about her experience.

We’ve been waiting for this moment since the reboot of the hit Sex and the City franchise was announced. Fans will once again be able to follow Carrie Bradshaw around New York City, but will she still be pursuing Big? Or has the writer moved on?

What we do know is that most of the original actors will be returning to reprise their role, albeit one. Kim Cattrall, who plays Samantha is noticeably absent from the show after a ton of drama unfolded in front of the media a few years ago. So, no surprise there.

And Just Like That … will be premiering on BINGE in December 2021.

After much anticipation, the historical season of The Bachelorette starring Brooke Blurton is finally set to air in a few weeks. To help curb our impatience, Channel 10 has been releasing small snippets of the show, so we kind of know what to expect.

We already know the show will feature plenty of red roses and extravagant dates, but what makes this season so different is that Brooke is the first Indigenous and bisexual Bachelorette in the history of the show. And yes, the contestants vying for her love will be a mix of men and women.

The Bachelorette is set to premiere on October 20, on Channel 10, but if you don’t have access to a TV then you can catch it live on 10play, or after the show finishes airing.
