00:00 Taylor Swift is bringing her Eros Tour to the big screen,
00:02 Ellie Goulding dodges pyrotechnics while a 50's fan couldn't dodge his mic,
00:07 Victoria's Secret brings back their fashion show with some star power,
00:10 RBD graces the cover of Billboard,
00:13 and we look back at last year's Songs of the Summer.
00:15 I'm Rania Nipdos for Billboard News.
00:21 It's Thursday, August 31st, and you're getting a new opportunity to see one of this year's biggest tours.
00:27 If you missed your chance to see Taylor Swift's Eros Tour, you're in luck.
00:31 Welcome to the Eros Tour!
00:33 Taylor Swift's Eros Tour is hitting the big screen.
00:38 This has been the most extraordinary experience of my entire life.
00:43 The concert film will hit AMC theaters starting on October 13th,
00:46 with adult tickets going for "1989," her next album,
00:50 and child tickets going for, you guessed it, $13.13.
00:55 Taylor tweeted the trailer for the film, saying in part,
00:58 "Eros attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing, and courage."
01:02 You can catch the film in the US, Canada, and Mexico,
01:11 and will even screen in IMAX and Dolby Cinema at AMC,
01:15 but you won't be able to use your AMC A-list.
01:18 So make sure you get your tickets ASAP.
01:20 Speaking of concerts, they can be a dangerous spot not only for the artists,
01:24 but for the fans too.
01:26 Ellie Goulding and a 50 Cent fan get added to the long list of faces
01:30 getting assaulted at concerts.
01:32 Ellie Goulding got quite the surprise in this viral video
01:39 when performing her song "Miracle" during the Victorious Festival.
01:43 She kept her composure and later assured fans she was fine,
01:51 posting to those asking, "I'm okay. Pyro didn't hit me directly in the face.
01:56 Face is intact. Love you and thank you."
01:59 Not as lucky as Ellie, a fan at 50 Cent's concert.
02:02 During the LA leg of his Final Lap Tour, 50 brought out Nas as a surprise guest.
02:07 And when he was experiencing microphone issues,
02:10 the rapper threw the mic offstage and it ended up hitting a fan in the face.
02:14 According to TMZ, the girl went to the hospital to be treated
02:17 and filed a police report, making 50 a suspect in a criminal battery report.
02:22 Now it's time to take a look at Billboard's cover stars.
02:25 Mexican pop group RBD is back and better than ever.
02:29 I'm really nostalgic right now.
02:32 And there's a change called Retro Girls,
02:36 where we released those iconic outfits.
02:42 I remember so many things and so many special moments.
02:46 I wanted to recreate them, obviously at a different level,
02:50 but I wanted to remember that Anaí from 2008,
02:54 who put a pause in her heart for this moment that makes me so happy.
03:01 But definitely my favorite moment is Rebelde,
03:05 because when I put on my uniform, I cried.
03:08 I swear, I couldn't stop crying from the excitement of putting on that jacket
03:14 and hugging myself and saying, "I'm here for you once again."
03:18 I think we feel that.
03:19 I think they're definitely different stages.
03:22 I think it's important to go back to the point where,
03:26 at that time, we were a group of young people with dreams and hopes.
03:29 RBD became the platform to make them come true.
03:32 Suddenly, life gave us a box with a huge surprise that we didn't know was inside.
03:38 When we opened it, it exceeded our expectations, our hopes,
03:42 and maybe even what we had dreamed of.
03:44 When it became reality, it was overwhelming and overwhelming, but beautiful.
03:48 Also, talking about our past songs makes us see how,
03:53 20 years later, still singing to love is not out of fashion.
03:57 No, I love it.
03:59 Because pop has not died.
04:00 Maybe there was no one who could sing it.
04:02 And today, being able to represent our music with that love
04:06 and seeing so many generations, because there are already three generations
04:09 who come to share our music with us,
04:11 and seeing that love is still an important message,
04:14 and seeing that it is still our vehicle,
04:16 it is encouraging, it is inspiring, and it motivates us to continue building that
04:20 in a world where there are so many things happening.

04:25 Speaking of comebacks, Victoria's Secret has returned with a new look.
