Last night was one to remember, as Chicago’s B96 brought their annual Pepsi Jingle Bash to the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, for another sold-out concert with some of the biggest names in music.

With perhaps their best lineup yet, boasting performances from Taylor Swift, Khalid, Fifth Harmony, Logic, Sabrina Carpenter and pop royalty, the Backstreet Boys; last night fans got back their price of admission early into the night.

From Khalid’s opening set, complete with a surprise appearance from EDM artist Marshmello, to Taylor Swift’s closing and headlining performance, where fans saw the first ever live performance of ‘Gorgeous’, the B96 Pepsi Jingle Bash was a hit from start to finish!

Check out our photos from this year’s amazing Jingle Bash below.

Christmas came a few weeks early in Chicago last night, as pop mega-star Taylor Swift closed things out at Chicago’s sold-out B96 Pepsi Jingle Bash. After entertaining performances from the Backstreet Boys, Khalid, Logic, Fifth Harmony and more, Taylor delivered an amazing headlining set that consisted of fan favorites, an acoustic performance of her Zayn collaboration ‘I Don’t Wanna Live Forever’ and cuts from her new album Reputation, including her first ever live performance of ‘Gorgeous’.

Check out our photos of Taylor’s performance below and stay tuned for more shots from the B96 Pepsi JingleBash. And if you missed out last night or want to relive the night (and then some), fear not, as Taylor Swift will be returning to Chicago this summer for two night’s at Soldier Field on her Reputation Stadium Tour.

Roughly half way through the North American leg of her headlining tour, pop superstar Katy Perry brought Witness: The Tour to Milwaukee’s BMO Harris Bradley Center, one of the last concerts to be held at the venue before the city’s new state-of-the-art arena opens just next door.

With support from Canadian electronic duo, Purity Ring, one of three supporting acts that have or will join Perry on the current leg of her tour, Katy Perry’s massive production was beyond entertaining, exceeding fan’s expectations and again proving that Perry will never be an artist to simply mail in her live performances. Switching between cuts from her new LP, Witness, and her huge catalog of hit singles, Perry blended the old and the new to piece together a set full of platinum hits, costume changes, dancing, a game of hoops and of course an appearance from the infamous Left Shark.

Check out our photos from the wild performance below and peep the remaining dates of her North American tour here.

After scoring two Golden Globes for his FX series Atlanta, the Grammys have followed suit by recognizing the greatness that is Donald Glover, by nominating his Childish Gambino album Awaken, My Love!.

Scoring five nominations, including “Album of the Year” and “Record of the Year” (for the album’s lead single ‘Redbone’), Glover is set up to likely score his first Grammy and perhaps more. As the only Urban Contemporary album also nominated for Album of the Year, it would be a surprise if Glover at least doesn’t take home the W for Best Urban Contemporary Album.

The Grammys will air on CBS on Sunday, January 28th. We will surely tune in to see who takes home the award for Album of the Year.
