Here’s a fun piece of trivia: Until his current tour, Bruce Springsteen had never played a concert in Liverpool, England. So it was only fitting that when he and the E Street Band finally took the stage at Anfield on Saturday, they were welcomed by one of Liverpool’s most beloved sons — none other than Paul McCartney.McCartney made a surprise appearance during the concert’s encore, joining Springsteen and co. for renditions of The Beatles’ “Can’t Buy Me Love” and Little Willie Littlefield’s “Kansas City.” Watch fan captured footage below.

McCartney’s cameo wasn’t entirely unexpected; just the day before, he and Springsteen spent time meeting with students at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA).
Springsteen and McCartney have shared the stage many times over the years — including during Macca’s headlining set at Glastonbury in 2022, when The Boss joined him for performances of “Glory Days” and “I Wanna Be Your Man.”

On Friday night, Miley Cyrus premiered the film component of her newly released visual album, Something Beautiful, at the Tribeca Film Festival. The event was promoted as a “one-of-a-kind pop opera featuring thirteen original new songs,” with an exclusive conversation with the singer to follow. However, some fans missed the message that it was a movie premiere and loudly heckled her while she was on stage.“We thought this was a concert! We paid $800!” one audience member can be heard saying in a video posted on social media. Despite the host reminding them that the event was part of a film festival, they persisted and asked, “Are you actually going to sing?”After more misinformed fans chimed in, Cyrus pacified them with an a cappella version of her 2009 song “The Climb.”
A comment on Cyrus’ Instagram could provide insight into why some fans didn’t realize they were attending a movie premiere. “I bought my tickets [off StubHub] and it said MILEY CYRUS LIVE. It wasn’t clear that it wasn’t a concert so yea, for 1200 bucks for 2 crappy far away seats to see a movie and not hear any live music and not even knowing it until I saw chairs on the stage, yea I was livid and felt duped… I’ll admit maybe it was my mistake for not doing more research but I will say that afterward there were several other people outside saying the same thing.”

Fans will be able to watch the Something Beautiful visual album in theaters for one night only on June 12th in the US and Canada, with international screenings following on June 27th. Learn more here.

Every week, Consequence’s Songs of the Week column spotlights the best new tracks from the last seven days. Find our new favorites on our Top Songs playlist, and for more great songs from emerging artists, listen to our New Sounds playlist. This week, Sabrina Carpenter quips about a pattern in her past romances.
“Why so sexy if so dumb?” Sabrina Carpenter asks coyly on her new single, “Manchild,” hitting at a recurring theme found in her recent releases: What’s the deal with all these hot dudes being absolute tools?

Sure, it’s easy to read the song as Carpenter following up on the promise given to her now-ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan on “Please Please Please” (“If you don’t wanna cry to my music/ Don’t make me hate you prolifically”), but even disregarding any real-life context, “Manchild” serves as another sonic thesis statement from a pop star at the very top of her game.

Related VideoShort n’ Sweet offered the similarly-countrified “Slim Pickins” and “Please Please Please” — also co-writes from Carpenter’s now-trusty duo of Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen — but “Manchild” has a bit more pep in its step. The track’s syncopated synths and strum-heavy acoustic guitar show that Carpenter is not interested in wallowing, but “Manchild” isn’t a full-fledged disco celebration either; instead, Carpenter skewers her half-witted beau while hinting that she’s maybe, perhaps, ever-so-slightly accountable, too.
“Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get/ And I like my men all incompetent/ And I swear they choose me/ I’m not choosing them,” she sings with a wink, recalling a similar conclusion drawn in “Slim Pickins” about her own inability to choose men with long-term relationship potential. Like the hitchhike-through-mayhem absurdity found in the music video, Carpenter knows the cycle well: They meet, it’s thrilling, dangerous even, and eventually, despite her telling herself things could be different this time, he lets her down. “It’s all just so familiar,” she sings.
Her lyrics are once again endearingly funny — “If I’m not there it won’t get done/ I choose to blame your mom,” Carpenter quips — and more proof that the trio of Carpenter, Allen, and Antonoff have nailed the SabCarp formula. There’s a nostalgic, comforting air, circa late ’70s and early ’80s, which fits with Carpenter’s retro-themed stage movements and music videos. There’s a slight country twang, which allows Carpenter to slip into a more casual and authentic singing style. And, above all, there’s a sharp, halfway-out-the-door wit that instantly puts the listener in Carpenter’s corner.

Humor, used as often as Carpenter employs it, can start to feel like a defense mechanism — like she’s masking her vulnerability. Perhaps there are some meatier epiphanies to come, but in the meantime, she shrugs off a helpless himbo so well on “Manchild” that you’d have to believe she’s landed on her feet. Better off, even.
