Youtube sensation Shawn Mendes, who was just signed to Island Records, released his first single “Life Of The Party!” Shawn snagged a coveted opening spot for Austin Mahone and The Vamps on tour this summer. He’s known for his unique covers of artists like Justin Bieber and Lana del Ray, which he posts to his Youtube channel as well as his Vine account. “Life Of The Party” is Shawn’s first original song to be released, after teasing fans with (what else) Vine and Instagram videos in recent weeks.
Watch the official lyric video below and download it now on iTunes so you can sing along on tour!

We love the pop-country sound of rising singer-songwriter Tiffany Houghton, who was just added to MKTO’s American Dream Tour lineup! Tiffany has that fresh “early Taylor Swift” sound that we’ve been searching for. Armed with an acoustic guitar and girl-next-door charm, Tiffany’s catchy, well-crafted songs will have you singing along before the first chorus. Tiffany moved to Nashville at the age of 17, and has spent time songwriting and honing her craft. We’re sure you’ll be hearing a lot more from this girl in the future!
Watch the video for her new single, “17 Again,” below, which was inspired by one of our favorite movies,”Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
Tiffany teamed up with ConcertBlogger.com for a performance of “Band Boy,” which she wrote about her weakness for boys in bands after getting home from a concert one night. This song is pretty much every fangirl’s anthem. We especially love the line “fangirls love band boys and band boys love fan girls!”
Sabrina Carpenter, one of the stars of Disney Channel’s new show “Girl Meets World” is set to perform on FOX& Friends “All-American Summer Concert Series” this Friday, June 27th! She will be singing her hit songs “Can’t Blame A Girl For Trying” and “Catch My Breath” as well as talking about her summer tour and debut album. We can’t wait to see Sabrina on “Girl Meets World” this summer!! She’s playing Riley’s (Cory and Topanga’s daughter) BFF, Maya. Will Maya be the Shawn to her Cory? Find out when the series premieres on Disney Channel June 27th at 9:45pm!
Be sure to tune in to FOX & Friends on Friday morning, or if you’re in NYC, head over to the FOX News Channel Plaza before 6am to get a great spot in the crowd!
New Jersey pop rock band Action Item released a brand new single today and yes, we are hooked on it already! The upbeat track has an American Authors/Imagine Dragons feel to it. We will definitely be adding “We’ll Be Fine” to our summer playlist and blasting it poolside this summer!
Listen to “We’ll Be Fine” on Soundcloud now and pickup a copy on iTunes!
You can catch Action Item on tour with MKTO and Tiffany Houghton on the American Dream Tour which kicks off on Friday!
Earlier this month, Aaron Carter announced that he would be heading out on a World Tour later starting this fall! Since the first leg of the tour is in the US, there were some complaints that there weren’t any international dates on the list. (Come on guys…it’s called a World Tour for a reason!) Well get ready because AC just announced his first international stop on the tour: Aaron’s Party is coming to London in January!
Secret Fangirls are pleased to debut “GIRL” by Giselle Mynx. The first single from the California native is hauntingly beautiful yet inspiring. The instrumentation on this track is unique and sets “GIRL” apart from the crowd. A steady drum, the steel string guitar, and Giselle’s lovely voice will stay with you long after the song is finished.
Last night marked the last date on the North American leg of Backstreet Boys’ In A World Like Tour. The tour, which started last summer in celebration of the band’s 20th anniversary, has ended up being the longest in BSB history. As they said to the packed crowd at Jones Beach, this tour surprised their agents, critics and even them: it’s amazing to see how much love and support they still have after all these years! They played all of their hits, as well as tracks off of their new album, “In A World Like This,” as the audience partied like it was 1999. A Backstreet Boys concert is like one giant singalong/dance party, with 15,000 of your closest friends.
About halfway through the concert, it sunk in that we wouldn’t be seeing the BSB on tour for a while. But then we realized us Backstreet fan girls have a lot of other things to look forward to this year!
Backstreet Boys: The Movie
A documentary on the BSB, filmed mostly last year during their 20th anniversary “reunion,” was announced last year, and we are still impatiently waiting for a release date! The trailer for the movie has been shown during the IAWLT tour since last summer. Now that this leg of the tour is over, we are hoping we will finally get a release date! And an excuse to sing and dance in the movie theater.
Nick and Knight Album and Tour!
Nick Carter is so much fun to watch on stage, because he just brings his A-game each and every night. He tends to do his own choreography, and is moving non-stop on stage. You can see the pure joy he has in performing. He’s teaming up with NKOTB’s Jordan Knight for an album and tour this fall, titled Nick & Knight! Jordan also BRINGS IT each night on stage, so we cannot WAIT to see what these two will be up to on tour. It’s going to be amazing.
“I Heart Nick Carter”
This isn’t Nick’s first foray into the world of reality TV (House of Carters anyone?), but this time around the show focus on Nick’s life with his new bride, Lauren Kitt, rather than Carter family drama. We will only watch reality shows that star current or former boy band members, so obviously we have already been counting down to the show’s premiere! Watch the first look below! “I Heart Nick Carter” premieres on September 10th at 10pm on Vh1!
Stay tuned for updates on the rest of Backstreet’s upcoming projects! Be sure to follow Backstreet Boys & Secret Fangirls on Twitter for more updates!
