Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between.
Katy Perry celebrated her new film, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris at a screening and Q&A in Los Angeles. 132-minute concert film was captured across two sold-out nights in Paris using an extraordinary 60-camera set up. Katy surprised fans entering during the film’s final song, “Firework” and started a dance party in the theater. She was also surprised with a cake to celebrate 16 years since the release of her record-breaking album, Teenage Dream. ET spoke exclusively with Katy following the screening where she opened up about how her fans are the reason why she’s here and why she wanted to pay it back and do this film. Katy shared, “In the beginning of this tour, I felt like there was a lot of people that were betting against me and had a lot to say. And I was like, you know what? I’m gonna just keep putting one foot in front of the other and do it and do it for the fans. And not only that, I’m gonna film it and I’m gonna put it out for the fans. And guess what? I did it. When they said that they couldn’t, I did it. And so I’m proud of myself. I’m proud that my daughter got to see that. I’m proud of my resilience. I’m proud of my team. I’m proud of my fan base that helped me a long the way.”

Wynonna Judd released an emotional song, “Gril Who Could Sing,” a deeply personal track serving as a letter to her late father. She was inspired to write the song after his family discovered a drawer filled with newspaper articles and clippings of her, after his passing. Wynonna shared, “I was 30 years old when I learned the truth, that the man I called “Dad” my entire life, was not my biological father. It changed everything I thought I knew about who I was. By the time I was ready to meet him, he was gone. I never got to hear his voice, look him in the eyes, or ask him why. I’ll carry those unanswered questions with me for the rest of my life. ‘Was I ever really your daughter, or just a girl who could sing?’ is the question that hurts the most – because I’ll never get to hear his answer. What do you do with the questions you’ll never have answers to? My answer is simple… I sing about it.”
