Music notes: Taylor Swift, Billy Joel and more

There’s only one week left until Taylor Swift‘s first Eras Tour show of 2024. “We are all stretching to prep for that tour choreo,” Taylor Nation captioned an Instagram photo of Taylor’s beloved cat Olivia Benson stretching her leg in the air. “One more week until our first #TSTheErasTour show of the year!” Funnily enough, Taylor posted the same photo with a similar caption to her IG during the original Reputation era on February 5, 2018, leaving fans to speculate if the rerecorded version of that album was soon on the way. “THIS IS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!! TELL US WHAT THIS MEANS??HELLO?? TAYLOR??” a fan commented on the post.

Billy Joel‘s new single “Turn the Lights Back On” arrives on Thursday, but you can hear a short clip from it now on his Instagram. “’Turn the Lights Back On’ will officially be out at 7am ET! Where will you be when it drops for the first time?” Billy captioned the video.

Ed Sheeran sang his heart out at a karaoke bar on Tuesday while on tour in Japan. He posted a video recapping the evening to Instagram, where he serenaded fans with his own hit track “Shape of You.” He captioned the video, “Surprised some Japanese fans at karaoke yesterday with @10969taka, great fun.”
