This Week’s Tournament:
BNP Paribas Masters – Paris, France
It’s hard to believe we’ve already made it to the last tournament of the regular season of the ATP World Tour! The tour wraps up this week in Paris, with 2 more spots on the line for a spot in the World Tour Finals happening later this month in London. Marin Cilic moved up to the 9th position after winning the title in Basel Last week, with Dominic Thiem just ahead at #8. The year end #1 ranking is also on the line in Paris as Andy Murray closed in on current #1 Novak Djokovic by winning the title in Vienna last week.
Jack Sock Wins Doubles in Basel
American Jack Sock won his 2nd doubles title of the year, this time with partner Marcel Granollers. This was Jack’s 4th final (singles and doubles) since the end of the US Open. Jack Sock for President!
BNP Paribas Showdown 2017 Lineup Announced
2017 marks the 10 year anniversary of the BNP Paribas Showdown. The annual event, held at Madison Square Garden, features the top names in tennis facing off in an exhibition match in celebration of World Tennis Day. This year’s event features Venus Williams vs Garbine Mugaruza, Jack Sock vs Nick Kyrgios, and Kei Nishikori vs Juan Martin del Potro. The showdown is March 6th 2017 at MSG and tickets are on sale now!
We can officially say “5SOS sold out MSG!!!” That’s a feat of epic proportions, especially for a band that hasn’t been around that long. It’s hard to believe that just two short years ago the guys were headlining the nearby Best Buy Theater, which holds about 2,000 people. Luke, Ashton, Calum, and Michael played every song we could have asked for on this tour and you could hear the entire arena singing every word!
The band played their new single, “Girls Talk Boys,” for the first time live at MSG. The track had just dropped the day of the show, but fans already knew all of the words and kept singing like they had been all night. The performance of the funky song saw lead singer Luke Hemmings jump on the piano for a bit – cue the swoons.
Drummer Ashton took the time to remind the crowd to always follow their dreams, saying he went from playing in his garage to playing in the legendary Madison Square Garden. He also said the crowd was the loudest he’d ever heard, despite having played many other shows.
Before going into the first verse of “Jet Black Heart” solo, Michael soaked up the applause from the crowd. Just when you thought he was going to keep going, the crowd just got louder and louder. It was one of the most energetic crowds we’ve ever seen at MSG (or anywhere for that matter!) We’re so proud of how far 5SOS have come so far and can’t wait for what’s next!

We might have took the long way, but we finally got to see Shania Twain in concert for the first time last night! There may or not have been some fangirl tears shed at the show. Shania’s “Rock This Country” Tour hit Madison Square Garden, for what is likely her last NYC show … ever. (Shania announced in advance that this would be her final tour.) She proved time and again that after all this time, she’s still the one.
If you’ve seen videos from Shania’s “Still The One: Live From Vegas” show, you might be expecting her to pull out all the stops for her final tour. After all, that show had everything: elaborate sets, horses, backup dancers, many costume changes, etc. But the “Rock This Country” Tour set is surprisingly simple. The stage had the large video screens, pyro and moving parts we’ve come to expect from arena tours, but the real focus was on the music. Shania’s voice and stage presence alone are enough to get the whole crowd rocking. Her voice is as strong as ever, and yes, she can still hit that note in “From This Moment On.” Her large band also helped put the “rock” in the “Rock This Country” Tour! The show was a full blown rock show, and Shania’s band proved that you can rock out on a fiddle! During Shania’s costume changes, her band played impressive arrangements of her biggest hits, keeping the energy high.
This was a Shania Twain show after all, so of course she had some surprises in store! During “Any Man Of Mine,” she took a tour of the arena on a moving mini-stage, getting closer to the fans in the back. She later went “up up up” on a fringed saddle, riding around the runway. Shania also took some time to interact with the lucky fans in the front row! She was hi-fiving and signing things without missing a single note. Shania even handed off the mike during “Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)”
Shania has so many hits that her nearly 2-hour set went by in a flash. We could have stayed for another 2 hours, and she certainly would have had enough music to fill it! The arena-wide singalong that happened during “You’re Still The One” was one of the loudest and most emphatic we’ve ever heard. Everyone in the Garden was screaming every word. Chills.
The “Rock This Country” Tour runs through the end of October, and like we said, it’s Shania’s final tour, ever. So don’t be stupid and get your tickets now!

It’s real, y’all! Rumors had been going around that Shania Twain would be heading out on tour, and she confirmed the news this morning with a huge announcement on GMA. The Rock This Country Tour kicks off in Seattle on June 5th, with dates across the US and Canada throughout the Summer, including a stop at Madison Square Garden! It’s been 12 years since Shania’s last headlining tour, but after all these years, she’s still the one. She also announced that this would be her LAST tour ever!
Her two year residency in Las Vegas ended last year, and if that show is any indicator of what to expect on tour, we are in for an AMAZING show. Her Vegas show had everything: flying motorcycles, live horses, moving sets, leopard jumpsuits, backup dancers, and more. If you missed it, you can pickup a copy of Shania Twain: Still The One on DVD and get ready to rock this country with Shania all summer.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, March 13th, with pre-sales happening a few days before. Come on over to ShaniaTwain.com for all the details and check out the dates below!

It’s no secret that we are huge fans of Dan + Shay, and have been impatiently waiting to finally see them on Hunter Hayes’ “We Are Not Invisible Tour” in May! We’ve had their debut album, “Where It All Began,” on repeat since it was released, and they have the perfect sound for an outdoor summer concert. Their single, “19 You + Me” just went gold this week!
They’ll be on tour with Hunter Hayes and Blake Shelton this summer, and have a few festival dates as well. Check out all of Dan + Shay’s upcoming tour dates below!
Now what do we have to do to get them to have a headlining show in NYC?
You can also meet Dan + Shay at most shows, either by getting a “Dan + Shay + You” VIP experience, or at a signing post show. Be sure to follow Dan + Shay on Twitter for the location! Fangirl Tip: If you bring or buy a copy of their album, you can go to the front of the line.
