Niall Horan seemingly put an end to all speculations of feud between the former One Direction bandmates, by sharing a wholesome anecdote about the boys’ longstanding friendships.

The 32-year-old Irish singer spoke about how the band members – including Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and himself maintain their bonds as they focus on their individual careers.

Following their bandmate Liam Payne’s passing, the other musicians have stuck together as the Slow Hands hitmaker shared in a recent interview.

As per an X post, “Niall said that the boys are good at checking in on each other and seeing how everyone is doing. He said, ‘We’re good at like checking in on each other and see how everyone’s doing. Cause we all like, that’s the only thing about what we do is, anyone could be anywhere at any time.'”

Horan continued, “Like, you get to LA and you’ll be like, ‘I’ve just arrived,’ and they’ll say, ‘Well, I left last night.’ Yeah, yeah. But like there, there’s a lot of, you know, shifts in the night stuff, so. But yeah, we… I definitely speak to them all, you know, every couple of weeks.”

The One Direction members are all currently on tour across the world, and have previously expressed their support for each other’s solo careers. 

Although Tomlinson and Malik sparked beef speculations recently, Horan’s comments suggest that they still share a united front.

Jennifer Lopez is celebrating a huge career milestone with one of her biggest global hits, On The Floor.

The 56-year-old American singer and songwriter marked a major achievement as her 2011 song surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.

While On The Floor isn’t old enough to be from her late 90s/early 2000s breakout, it is a classic from the early 2010s.

Featuring Pitbull, it became a massive worldwide dance anthem and has now hit the billion-stream milestone.

To make the occasion more memorable the Let’s Get Loud singer reposted an announcement from a fan page on her official X account.

The post read, “Join TOMORROW for an exclusive On The Floor streaming party at 6PM EST! To celebrate the song reaching over a billion streams on Spotify and on the Spotify Chart.”

Earlier in the day, the Dance Again singer was giving shoutout to an American romantic drama television series, titled Off Campus, for using her hit track behind the scenes.

“ON THE FLOOR ... as heard in OFF CAMPUS,” she captioned the snippet of the show.

The TV series’ team resposted it on Instagram before J.Lo reshared it on her social media with an addition of a white heart emoji. 

Jake Shane has addressed online backlash nearly two weeks after a viral clip from his Kacey Musgraves podcast interview circulated on social media.

Shane spoke with Musgraves on his Therapuss podcast on May 6, discussing her career and her 2026 album Middle of Nowhere.

During the conversation, Shane asked the singer to explain a lyric from her 2018 song “Slow Burn,” referencing the line: “In Tennessee, the sun’s goin’ down / But in Beijing, they’re headin’ out to work.”

Musgraves appeared surprised by the question, explaining that the lyric simply refers to different time zones rather than a deeper meaning.

The exchange quickly went viral, with social media users reacting to Shane’s confusion and flooding comment sections with jokes and criticism. Some questioned whether he understood the concept of time zones, while others expressed surprise that the lyric needed clarification.

One TikTok user wrote, “Why did this need to be explained??” while another joked, “Time zones baby. They’re real.”

Shane later responded to the backlash in a lighthearted manner, resharing posts from the online conversation on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram Stories.

He wrote, “Like I’m ready to laugh, we can laugh,” indicating he was taking the situation in stride.

Musgraves’ album Middle of Nowhere was released on May 1, 2026.
