Actress Brittany Snow recently reflected on her past eating disorder in the caption of a candid Instagram post. The “Pacifider” actress opened up about how her previous struggle consumed so much of her life that she couldn’t see a future without it. Today, however, Snow said she’s thriving in recovery and thanked those who supported her along the way.

“Today, September 17th, marks 17 years of recovery for me. I’ve heard they call that a golden anniversary. And somehow, that feels fitting,” Snow captioned a recent Instagram post. “My movie, Parachute, is about this very day, the day I made the decision to stop hurting myself. The day I chose to bet on myself, even when I couldn’t yet imagine what a life on the other side might look like.”

Elsewhere in the caption, Snow reflected on her recent accomplishment and implied that she has much to be proud of. “Seventeen years ago, I didn’t know if I would make it. I couldn’t see a future, and I certainly couldn’t imagine one where I would learn to be kind to myself,” she wrote.

She continued, “If someone had told me then that I would not only live, but one day have a beautiful, full life, free from the cycle of self-destruction and my eating disorder… I truly don’t think I would have believed them.”

Snow went on to thank those who supported her during the dark period in her life, especially her friends and family.

“My friends saw me, heard me, helped me. My family loved me through it. And somewhere underneath the noise, there was a tiny voice inside me that kept saying: don’t give up. There is so much more to your story,” she posted. “There was so much beauty ahead that I couldn’t see yet. So much love. And one of the greatest gifts of making it through is being able to turn around and share the hope I couldn’t see possible.”

Brittany Snow Said Recovery Was Her Only Option

This isn’t the first time Snow has opened up about body image. In a 2025 interview with Self, the “Guiding Light” star said she struggled with self-image for many years.

“I had so much disdain for my body and I couldn’t see myself as a functional, beautiful being. I only saw the things that were wrong with me,” she said.

At 23, though, Snow realized she needed help, so she took an acting hiatus to focus on recovery, and, according to her, her “life depended on it.”

“I mean, there was no way that I would still be here—and I’m trying not to be hyperbolic,” she said.

A Popular Reality Star Also Spoke About Her Struggles With An Eating Disorder

Snow isn’t the only public figure who has used their platform to spread awareness about the harmful effects eating disorders can have on people. According to a previous report from The Blast, “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Layla Taylor spoke bravely about her challenges during season 4 of the Hulu series.

Since then, Taylor said she’s focused on her recovery and continues to prioritize her health and well-being. “I just feel like getting in the right mental headspace has been the biggest thing for me with recovering from my eating disorder and just trying to have a better relationship with my body and food in general,” she said.

Taylor Was Tired Of Fighting ‘Exhausting’ Eating Disorder

In addition to her struggles with an eating disorder, Taylor told her co-stars she had been using a GLP-1 to keep weight off. However, the reality star and mother of two admitted that using them caused her more harm than good.

“Far before I touched [GLP-1 medications] I’ve had my struggles. It’s been lonely and exhausting, fighting a battle in my own brain while trying to show up like everything is okay and receive comments daily on my body. Recovery has been messy and far from linear. Some days feel strong, and others feel really heavy,” she said.

Kate Beckinsale deleted her archive of Instagram photos, leaving only a pair of concerning messages on her feed.

“Bye,” Beckinsale, 53, wrote in white text over a black background in an Instagram post shared early on Sunday, September 20.

Within the hour, the actress shared an image of a rainbow from a parking lot to her Instagram Stories. She added the caption, “Congratulations, you won. I give up.”

Beckinsale has not shared any additional messages or elaborated on the meaning behind her alarming uploads. Us reached out to the actress’ rep for comment.

Kate Beckinsale appears to be shining a light on her experience with post-traumatic stress disorder. “I think what people will find incredibly hard to understand about non-military PTSD … is that those people have seen or experienced levels of horror, terror, violence that they don’t just dream about incessantly, so there’s no rest,” Beckinsale, 53, […]

Weeks earlier, the Underworld actress opened up about her personal experience with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“I think what people will find incredibly hard to understand about non-military PTSD … is that those people have seen or experienced levels of horror, terror, violence that they don’t just dream about incessantly, so there’s no rest,” Beckinsale wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post on September 2. “They see it when they blink. Every time they close their eyes for a second and those people aren’t recognized as heroes.”

She continued at the time, “They see it when they blink. Every time they close their eyes for a second and those people aren’t recognized as heroes. Given the fact that it’s invisible and you can’t know, maybe err on being on the gentler side with people, being kinder with people. It really is true that if you haven’t walked a mile in someone’s shoes — however fancy you feel the shoes are — you have absolutely no idea what they may be carrying or masking or dealing with day and night.”

While researchers note it is difficult to accurately gauge how many people suffer from PTSD, studies show an estimated six out of every 100 Americans experience PTSD at some point in their lives — and the majority of those individuals do not have a military background.

Beckinsale had previously scrubbed her Instagram profile in August while navigating the aftermath of her mother’s death, noting the disparaging comments she received on social media about her weight in the midst of her grief. (The Serendipity star announced in 2025 that her mom died after a battle with stage IV cancer.)

“You take a break from Instagram for several months following the death of your mother, delete all of your posts and explain in some considerable detail about what you may have lost weight including the fact that weight loss is one of the very first physical signs of bereavement,” Beckinsale captioned an August upload, addressing body-shaming comments. “I think people might be broken.”

She added at the time, “At the age of 5, I watched my 31-year-old father die of a huge heart attack and then I watched my stepfather die, and then I watched my mother degenerate and die in such an incredible amount of suffering, and I will say, it doesn’t make you feel very hungry. And I don’t know if there’s some kind of survivor guilt because it started after my stepdad died, and it’s not like anorexia where you’re starving and it’s a kind of willpower thing.”

Beckinsale further acknowledged how her grief had affected her appetite and, in turn, her overall health.

“I think watching, especially alone, the people that you love the most dearly suffer and have horrific and sometimes violent, awful deaths really makes you not hungry, and people respond in different ways,” she stated. “Uf you google physical manifestations of grief, changes in appetite is probably the first one. … I will say that because of my dad and my stepdad and my mom, I am so grateful that it wouldn’t occur to me to see somebody transparently suffering and write something nasty about their appearance. It just wouldn’t cross my mind. I am so grateful to have been brought up by people who raised me like that. And I really miss them.”

John Branca has spent more than four decades as one of the most powerful dealmakers in the music business, most famously helping shape Michael Jackson’s empire. In 2026, that connection came full circle when “Michael” became the first biopic ever to top $1 billion.

Branca served as a producer on the Antoine Fuqua-directed hit, which stars Jaafar Jackson as his late uncle and features Miles Teller as Branca himself. The casting put his own history with the King of Pop front and center for a whole new generation of moviegoers. That newfound visibility has also drawn attention to the woman beside him through much of the film’s rollout: his wife, Kristina Tuckutė.

The Lithuanian model and beauty entrepreneur joined Branca on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere and was later at his side as he celebrated the movie’s record-setting run. But Tuckutė had built an international career of her own long before becoming Mrs. Branca. 

It all started in Klaipėda, the Baltic port city where Tuckutė grew up and, by her own account, dealt with bullying from classmates. She started modeling at 14 after a visit to a local agency, and castings soon turned into an invitation to Paris. She later recalled arriving there as a schoolgirl who spoke neither English nor French. 

Kristina Tuckutė Found Success In Milan But Warned Of Fashion’s Dangers

The language barrier didn’t slow her down for long. Major Model president Guido Dolci brought her to Milan, where she learned Italian and landed work with luxury houses including Giorgio Armani, Roberto Cavalli and Blumarine, plus Gianfranco Ferré, La Perla and Wolford. She also spent several years as the face of Italian hosiery and lingerie label Levante, fronting its print and TV campaigns.

Tuckutė has never sugarcoated the industry that made her. During a 2013 appearance on the TV3 show “Gyvenimas yra gražus,” she urged the mothers of aspiring models not to rush blindly into fashion, calling it “sometimes a wild jungle with plenty of dangers and unwritten rules.” The same segment noted that she counted her young daughter, Sasha, as a far bigger achievement than anything she’d done on a runway.

Kristina Tuckutė Wanted ‘More’ Than Modeling And Built A Beauty Brand

Modeling was never meant to be the whole story. Around the same time, Tuckutė was moving into the beauty business, telling Žmonės that she didn’t want her career to depend on her appearance alone. “I want more,” she said. 

Eventually, “more” turned into OHM by Kristina Tuckutė, a skincare line she spent over three years developing. Its 2021 launch at Flying Solo in SoHo drew figures from New York’s fashion, art and business circles, along with Lithuanian influencers like Karolina Meschino and Naglis Bierancas, who flew in for the occasion.

Kristina Tuckutė Found Love With John Branca After Redefining Her Priorities

These days, she’s building her life in Los Angeles, but she hasn’t disappeared from Lithuanian media. Stilius put Tuckutė on its cover in 2011, then revisited that cover in 2025 to look back at how much her life had changed since.

That October, while celebrating her 42nd birthday at home, she told Stilius that her priorities had shifted toward independence, authenticity, and the people closest to her. “I value meaningful relationships more than anything superficial,” she explained, adding that she was looking forward to the life still ahead of her and continuing to set an example for Sasha, who’s now a teenager.

Two months later, in December 2025, Tuckutė married Branca, calling him the “love of her life.”

Kristina Tuckutė Says Time Away Helped Her Rediscover Her Voice

5

In March 2026, Tuckutė returned to the pages of Stilius with a candid multi-page feature and a glamorous new photo shoot by photographer Igor Sanaev. In the interview, she opened up about the stretch she spent away from public life, saying the time gave her room to reconsider outside expectations about how she should look, behave, and present herself.

She described the retreat as “not an escape,” but a conscious choice that allowed her to hear herself instead of the voices around her. “Sometimes you need silence, distance and a new environment to truly grow as a person,” she told the magazine. Her faith helped carry her through, too. “After all, they say that God doesn’t give you difficulties that you can’t solve or overcome,” she said.

Whatever comes next, Tuckutė sounds optimistic about it. “I sincerely believe that the future is in our own hands,” she said shortly before marrying Branca. “We create it every day with our choices, our energy and the people we choose to keep close.” 

Jamie Lynn Spears is speaking out after the shocking cancellation of Netflix’s hit dramedy Sweet Magnolias.

“I can’t put into words how much the people who make up our Sweet Mags family mean to me, and that’s not just the producers, cast, crew & @Netflix who are like actual family at this point, but also each of you who watched and became a part of our family as well,” Spears, 35, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, September 20. “It’s so rare to have five seasons straight be #1 around the whole world, in a business where getting a 2nd season of anything is almost impossible these days.”

Netflix announced on Friday, September 18, that Sweet Magnolias was canceled and there would not be a sixth season of the show. Spears, for her part, starred as Noreen, a nurse new to Serenity, South Carolina, who has an affair with her boss, Dr. Bill Townsend (Chris Klein). Before Noreen and Bill welcomed their daughter, Rebecca, the town pediatrician divorced wife Maddie Townsend (Joanna Garcia Swisher). Noreen and Maddie eventually bonded after Bill’s death, each also finding new love interests.

Sweet Magnolias was Spears’ return to Hollywood after taking a break from the cameras to focus on raising her children. (Spears shares daughter Maddie, 18, with ex Casey Aldridge and daughter Ivey, 8, with husband Jamie Watson.)

Although their characters couldn’t be further from friends, Jamie Lynn Spears and JoAnna Garcia Swisher completely bonded on set of Sweet Magnolias. “She’s incredible.

“Maddie was in middle school and Ivey was a little baby, still breast-feeding when the producers were just crazy enough to give this insecure but hopeful young mama a chance,” Spears recalled on Sunday of being cast on Sweet Magnolias season 1. “Little did they know they were actually giving a part of myself ‘life’ again, a part of myself I desperately needed and it healed me in ways that allowed me to grow as an actress, but most importantly as a person and a mother.”

She continued, “I was given the gift of being able to provide for my family, doing something I was proud of, surrounded by people I respected and loved while creating something we all valued. I owe it all to each and every person who loved Serenity, and the people who made it what it was.”

When a celebrity puts their stamp of approval on a haircare brand, we take note. But when two celebrities are fans? Case in point: That’s when we really start paying attention. Case in point: Mariska Hargitay recently relied on a thickening cream from a haircare brand that Jennifer Garner also loves: the Virtue Flourish Thickening Styling Treatment Cream.

For Hargitay’s fresh, undone waves at the Emmys, celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel reached for the lightweight styling cream, which is designed to give strands a fuller, thicker appearance without weighing them down.

Get the Virtue Flourish Thickening Styling Treatment Cream for $46 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

The treatment is all about creating fuller, thicker hair without leaving strands feeling stiff, sticky or weighed down. It’s especially great for those with fine or thinning hair, as it adds body and helps give strands a more hefty feel from root to tip. Instead of creating overly polished volume, it lends itself perfectly to the kind of soft, airy texture Hargitay wore, making hair look naturally full and effortless. Like you just woke up like this.

Like the rest of Virtue’s Flourish collection, the formula was created with thinning hair in mind. It features the brand’s Alpha Keratin 60ku CLINICAL protein alongside ingredients like red algae and tara tannins to help support healthier-looking strands while you style. Essentially, it isn’t just your typical volumizing product that makes hair look thicker for the day. The treatment combines styling benefits with haircare ingredients, so it’s an easy addition to a routine if fullness and overall hair health are both on your hair checklist.

Using it is straightforward. Work a small amount through damp hair, concentrating on the mid-lengths, then style as usual. You can blow-dry with a round brush if you’re after more polished volume, or take a cue from Hargitay’s undone look and use it as the foundation for loose, touchable waves. Since the formula is designed to add fullness without sacrificing movement, hair can still have that soft, lived-in finish rather than looking overly styled.

The thickening cream is a hit among fine-haired shoppers. One Amazon reviewer said it “gives me volume back” after “menopause.” Another shopper with fine hair said it “gives incredible volume that lasts for days.”

Among the things that make Peanuts instantly recognizable, one of the most important details is something readers almost never see: an adult. Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, and the rest of the gang exist in a world where grown-ups are mostly offstage, talked about but never allowed to step into the frame. It’s hard to imagine Peanuts any other way now, but Charles Schulz didn’t start there.

Early in the strip’s run, Schulz experimented with bringing adults into Charlie Brown’s world. He eventually decided they didn’t belong, and the decision became one of the most unusual — and important — rules of Peanuts. Years later, the cartoonist admitted that showing adults was something he “never should have done.” For Schulz, though, the failed experiment was part of figuring out what Peanuts needed to become.

Charles Schulz Tried Putting Adults in ‘Peanuts’

Custom Image by Federico Napoli

When Peanuts debuted in 1950, it was still finding its identity. Charlie Brown wasn’t yet the perpetually defeated kid audiences would come to know, Snoopy still behaved much more like an ordinary dog, and Schulz was testing different characters, settings, and jokes to see what worked, and adults were among those experiments.

In May 1954, a series of strips following Lucy at a golf tournament included the first unmistakable signs that grown-ups could exist inside the world of Peanuts. Adult legs appear in two strips, while another shows indistinct adult figures in the distance. Later that year, a strip shows a dry-goods clerk’s hands. The adults weren’t exactly taking over the comic, but Schulz was testing the boundaries of how much of the grown-up world his readers needed to see.

The Charles M. Schulz Museum has specifically highlighted the May 23, 1954, strip in which an adult appears as one of Schulz’s experiments. The cartoonist later looked back on the decision with unusual bluntness, calling the appearance “something I never should have done.” But Schulz also acknowledged the value of trying it in the first place, saying, “It was an experiment.”

Why Adults Didn’t Belong in Charlie Brown’s World

By 1975, Schulz had a much clearer explanation for why adults stayed out of Peanuts. He joked that the daily strip was so small that grown-ups wouldn’t have enough room to stand, but that wasn’t really the reason. Schulz believed adults would intrude on a world that worked precisely because it belonged to children. His young characters could argue about philosophy, worry about rejection, obsess over baseball and contemplate life’s disappointments without an adult stepping in to explain how the world actually worked. Their problems could be funny and profound at the same time, because Peanuts never needed to pull the camera back and remind readers that these were just children.

Schulz eventually abandoned even the idea of regularly hearing adults. Early strips occasionally used unseen adult voices, but he found the device awkward and eventually replaced it with a more effective solution, having adults exist entirely off the page. Miss Othmar could be discussed without ever being seen, parents could be mentioned without entering the story, and the children could go about their lives while the grown-ups remained an invisible presence just outside the panel.

‘Peanuts’ Was Better Without the Grown-Ups

Schulz later offered an even more practical reason for keeping adults out. In 1997, he explained that an adult’s presence would pull Peanuts back into reality, something the strip had worked hard to escape. Snoopy could hike, camp, write novels, imagine himself as the World War I Flying Ace, and carry on elaborate adventures, Woodstock could behave like a tiny human despite being a bird, and the children could spend their days engaging with ideas far beyond what their ages might suggest. None of it needed to be realistic, but an adult could ruin that illusion with a single walk into the panel.

The few later appearances of grown-ups tend to come with an asterisk. A 1964 strip features a drawing of a doctor created by Linus, meaning the adult exists through a child’s artwork rather than Schulz’s usual depiction. Adults also appear in historical photographs and artwork used for special occasions, including images of Dwight D. Eisenhower and World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle.

The rule became so firmly established that when Peanuts moved into animation, grown-ups were still largely kept out of sight. When an adult needed to speak, audiences generally heard the famously muffled trombone-like “wah-wah” instead of understandable dialogue. The effect preserved the same separation between the children’s world and the adult one that Schulz had established in the comics.

Schulz also kept experimenting with adults outside Peanuts. Sometime in the mid-1950s, he developed Hagemeyer, a workplace comedy strip centered entirely on grown-up characters. The concept was proposed to United Feature Syndicate and was drawn using blank Peanuts frame templates. All seven surviving strips eventually became part of a Schulz Museum exhibition devoted to his experiments with adult humor​​​​​​, so Schulz explored the idea and found that his most famous creation was stronger without them. Ultimately, his “mistake” helped define what Peanuts was.

Airport style usually comes down to one question: Should I be comfortable or look put together? But in 2026, Nicole Kidman is proving we no longer have to choose between the two. Her relaxed travel denim style delivers the ease we want from leggings with a considerably chicer finish, and it has Us rethinking what to wear on our next flight.

On September 9, 2026, the Practical Magic 2 star was spotted touching down at Sydney Airport wearing high-waisted, wide-leg jeans that have oversized patch pockets and a lived-in blue wash. She paired them with a light blue lace-trimmed top, a baseball cap, oversized sunglasses and a roomy black tote for an effortlessly cool take on travel dressing. While we couldn’t track down Kidman’s exact jeans, we found a $37 similar style that captures their relaxed, retro feel for less.

The Sidefeel Wide-Leg High-Waisted Jeans feature the same roomy shape and statement pockets that caught our attention on Kidman. Made with a cotton-blend material, the jeans have a touch of stretch that give them much-needed flexibility for sitting through a flight. Plus, the slightly cropped hem makes them easy to pair with sneakers, loafers or ballet flats.

Jennifer Aniston may have just found the easiest way to make a fall outfit look more expensive. The actress recently reached for a chocolate-brown crossbody, making a strong case for swapping lighter summer accessories for the rich, coffee-colored shade. Naturally, we found a similar style on Amazon for just $26. On September 2, Aniston stepped […]

Shoppers confirm that the jeans are actually comfortable enough for your travel rotation. One reviewer who wore them for days while traveling through Europe said they “actually feel like pajamas” and “kept their shape perfectly.” The shopper claims the jeans even stayed wrinkle-free after being shoved into an overstuffed suitcase, making the case for packing denim instead of another pair of leggings.

Another shopper said they hug curves “in a flattering way” said, “These are my third pair of Sidefeel pants. I get compliments every time I wear them, and I find them crazy comfortable.”

The jeans come in sizes 0 to 18, and are available in several washes and colors, including lighter blues and a chocolate brown option that feels made for fall.

For $37, these retro-style airport jeans check nearly every box on our travel-wardrobe wishlist. They’re roomy, stretchy and easy to style beyond the airport, so there’s no need to change before heading to lunch or sightseeing after landing. Just add a breezy top, oversized tote and sunglasses to give them the Kidman treatment.

Y’all! Shereé Whitfield is making one thing clear: she knows exactly how to command attention when she steps in front of the camera. The reality star recently had the timeline doing a double take after serving a look that brought plenty of confidence, curves, and attitude.

Shereé Whitfield Turns Heads In Sheer Black Look

This week, Shereé Whitfield shared photos of herself on social media posing on a dark wooden staircase in an all-white, rounded space. She rocked skin-tight, sheer black leggings with a black V-neck bralette-style top and black high heels featuring bedazzled details. Her dark, highlighted curly hair completed the look as she switched up her poses throughout the photos, including one seated pose across the stairs. In true Shereé fashion, the photos gave major “you can look, but don’t touch” energy.

The Shereé Discourse Is Getting Spicy

When it comes to Shereé, y’all really ain’t playing games in TSR’s Instagram comment section. Some think Shereé looks good with a “T,” while others were convinced this was somebody else entirely. But let’s be clear, Shereé has always been that girl, and some people think the hate toward her is getting a little too heavy. And with the accompanying caption, “Spring / Summer may have ended but SHE still delivers the Heat!” Shereé definitely knew exactly what she was serving.

One Instagram user @kandi added, “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”

This Instagram user @donna_sowblessed said, “Damn, I was just about to eat another piece of cake. Let me go to bed lol”

And, Instagram user @bri.zekole claimed, “She really looks good 🔥! If you say she doesn’t, YOU’RE a hater !! lol”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @1sakimo shared, “Idk who her doctor is but boyyyyy is she looking amazing.”

While Instagram user @chriscashdc commented, “Who gonna be the grandma’s?”

Finally, Instagram user @kravekiya wrote, “😍😍😍 Sheree always had it no shade”

The Grown-Woman Baddies Are Outside!

Shereé might be getting all the attention for serving body-ody-ody, but she’s definitely not the only grown woman serving up baddie energy! In recent photos, Tiffany Haddish stepped into her Western-baddie era on Friday, rocking a dark cowboy hat, open denim jacket, red bandana, and a whole lot of confidence. And with her “Daddy said shoot” caption, she made it clear she wasn’t coming to play.

Hayden Christensen and his 11-year-old daughter, Briar Rose, enjoyed a father-daughter evening on the red carpet.

Christensen, 45, brought Briar Rose, whom he shares with ex Rachel Bilson, to the Saturday, September 19, opening night of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles. 

While the actor sported a gray T-shirt and dark-wash jeans over a navy blazer, his daughter sported a white sundress. The daddy-daughter duo were all smiles on Saturday, holding hands as they walked down the red carpet.

The Lucas Museum, which aims to explore how narrative art shapes the world, was founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas. Christensen, for his part, famously stars in the intergalactic franchise as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

As for Briar, she’s only started to understand that her dad portrayed a notorious movie villain.

“She knows Daddy’s Darth Vader, [but] she’s never seen Daddy as Darth Vader,” Christensen said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2022. “I’m still waiting a little bit, you know, until that happens. I might show her the prequels soon, but still, there’s some scenes we might have to fast forward through.”

While Christensen was hesitant to show his young daughter Star Wars, he noted at the time that Briar was his “first lightsaber training partner” when he reprised his famed role in Disney+’s Obi-Wan.

Christensen dated The O.C. alum Bilson, 45, from 2007 to 2017. The now-exes welcomed Briar Rose in 2014 before calling it quits and amicably coparenting their daughter.

“Ours is, like, a unique version of it. We do a lot of stuff together — a lot,” the Hart of Dixie alum said on a January episode of the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast about her dynamic with Christensen. “We have been able to keep it very copacetic and nice for [Briar]. We weren’t ever married so we … figured out our own way. [My advice for other coparents] is communication and sometimes you have to compromise a lot.”

Thank You!

Bilson continued at the time, “I’m really close to his family and it’s been almost 19 years or something, which is a long time [ago]. It feels like [water under the bridge].”

In addition to jointly raising Briar Rose, the two actors also enjoy their solo parenting moments with the preteen.

“I have a young daughter, and I love watching shows with her,” Christensen told MTV at the D23 Expo last month. “Her favorite ones right now are Liv and Maddie and Henry Danger, so I enjoy getting to watch those with her.”

Ed Sheeran performed with a new backing band during his Saturday, September 19, concert after his previous team left the Loop Tour in solidarity with Macklemore’s controversial departure.

“There are certain songs that just don’t work on the loop pedal,” Sheeran, 35, said during his Philadelphia concert, per social media footage shared by Billboard. “So, when my friends dropped off this show, I was thinking, ‘How am I going to keep the show the same? And ‘How am I going to get musicians to stand on stage with me in a week where no one wants to stand on stage with me?’”

Sheeran famously plays his concerts live without an accompanying band, using only a loop pedal to mix each track. For the Loop Tour, the singer-songwriter enlisted Irish band Beoga to assist on his tracks “Galway Girl” and “Nancy Mulligan.”

Beoga voluntarily left the tour earlier this week in solidarity with opening act Mackelmore, 43, who Sheeran’s touring company dismissed over comments about the Israeli-Palestine conflict. (The “Thrift Shop” rapper chanted “Free Palestine” during his sets at Sheeran’s two New Jersey concerts earlier in September.)

Ed Sheeran returned to his Loop Tour after opening act Macklemore was dropped from the lineup for making pro-Palestinian remarks onstage. “Before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” Sheeran, 35, told fans during the Saturday, September 19, concert at the Lincoln Financial […]

“I rung up a friend of mine, she’s a superb human and I toured with her all of last year [on my Mathematics Tour] and the one the year before that,” Sheeran said on Saturday, introducing violinist Alicia Enstrom. “I said to her, ‘Would you stand on stage with me?” And she said, yes. I asked her if she knew some musician friends and she said yes, and they’ve had three days to learn these songs.”

He continued, “I just want to say before they come onstage, they said yes to being onstage with the knowledge that the world thought I was a certain type of person. They said yes with the knowledge that the world may hate them too for standing on stage with me, and I am so grateful for them being here tonight and standing on stage with me in front of you guys.”

That matters hugely to me. Honoring my commitment to my fans is also completely essential to who I am. That is why I’m here tonight — on my own — continuing my own tour.”
