Trolls World Tour

• When the Queen of the Hard Rock Trolls tries to take over all the Troll kingdoms, Queen Poppy and her friends try different ways to save all the Trolls.
• Poppy and Branch discover that they are but one of six different Troll tribes scattered over six different lands devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger and a whole lot louder. A member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb, aided by her father King Thrash, wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme. With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends, set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who's looking to upstage them all.
• The film opens on a celebration of the Techno Trolls, which is crashed by the Hard Rock Trolls, led by Queen Barb. After Barb destroys his DJ station with her guitar's power, King Trollex is forced to surrender the string that powers Techno music. Poppy, still becoming adjusted to her new leadership as queen, receives a message from Barb that invites all Trolls to a party to unite their music. Her father reveals that there are different kinds of Trolls scattered through their land, each represented by a different style of music that is powered by a magical string kept by the leader of each tribe. Having split into their different forms of music following discord and disagreement over which was the best. Poppy wants to help Barb unite the different forms of music, but both her father and Branch warn her not to trust Barb's intentions and to accept that the other Trolls are different. Poppy does not listen, and sends a cheerful reply to Barb via Debbie, Barb's pet bat. Meanwhile, Barb gloats over her victory of snatching the Techno string, revealing her plan to string an enchanted guitar with all six strings, and play a power cord strong enough to destroy all other music, replacing it with rock. Wanting to prove herself as a good queen, Poppy travels via air balloon to recruit the other groups of Trolls, Branch joining her in an attempt to express his feelings towards her. Biggie accidentally stows aboard the balloon, and joins them. Meanwhile, Cooper, who feels like the black sheep among the Pop trolls, goes on a journey himself to find Trolls who look like him. The balloon ends up in the land of Classical Trolls, which, to Poppy's horror, has been decimated by Barb's armada, who captured all the citizens. A single small flute named Pennywhistle tells Poppy the truth about what happened, and Poppy decides to now unite the other Trolls to stop Barb. Branch and Biggie both urge her to return home to protect the Pop string, but Poppy reveals it hidden in her hair. They then travel to the Country Trolls' land, but after introducing themselves with a loud medley of pop songs, are jailed by an offended Delta Dawn. A Country Troll named Hickory, who claims he is moved by Poppy's motives, breaks them out, leading to a chase to a ravine, where the group falls into a river. Branch does not trust Hickory, even when the Troll builds a raft to take the group downstream. The conversation is interrupted by Chaz, a Smooth Jazz Troll who was hired as a bounty hunter to catch Poppy for Barb, who was incredibly offended by Poppy's reply letter. Hickory incapacitates Chaz, but Biggie, disillusioned by Poppy's poor leadership, decides to return home. Shortly after, the group is abducted by a space ship wielding magical soap bubbles. Inside the spaceship, the group meets the Funk Trolls, and meets up with Cooper, who is revealed to have been a long lost identical twin prince of Funk all along. Cooper tells Poppy he finds comfort in identifying with both Pop and Funk, and his parents, King Quincy and Queen Essence, reveal to Poppy that long ago the original Pop Trolls had attempted to steal the strings and remix the other five music styles into Pop, forcing the other Trolls to each take one string and divide their tribes to save their music. Quincy explains to Poppy that differences are not bad, and trying to make all Trolls the same does not help the problem. After the Rock Trolls hi-jack the Funk Trolls' ship, Cooper ejects the group in bubbles, accidentally separating Hickory from the two. Branch and Poppy fight when Poppy refuses to return home to their friends, and Branch admonishes her insisting she cannot be a good queen if she is a poor listener, and the two go their separate ways, heartbroken. Branch is soon captured by both K-Pop and Reggaeton bounty hunters. However, he eventually convinces them to so stop capturing and fighting and save Poppy and all music. Poppy reunites with Hickory, showing him the Pop string. Hickory tries to urge her to return home, but suddenly is revealed to have been a Yodel Troll all along. He and another Yodel Troll, Dickory, had been hired to capture her for Barb, but Hickory had a change of heart. Before she can escape, Poppy is then captured personally by Barb, who takes possession of the sixth and final string. Biggie returns home and seeing it in shambles, feels remorse over abandoning Poppy. He gathers together their remaining friends to go rescue her and Branch, entering the land of the Rock Trolls. Barb has Poppy imprisoned over a large concert stage where all the captured Trolls are the audience, and admits she empathizes with Poppy's attempts to be a good queen, as she is trying to make rock supreme to prove her own leadership. Barb uses her enchanted guitar during the concert to turn Branch, and the leaders of the other lands into rock zombies. Poppy seemingly is transformed into a rock zombie when she falls onto the stage, but upon grabbing Barb's guitar, it is revealed to have been wearing gumdrop earplugs. She admonishes Barb for being a poor queen by not taking time to listen to her people, and smashes the guitar. While it snaps the possessed trolls out of their rock zombie state, it destroys the strings, ending music, and causing all the trolls to lose their colors, much to Barb's anguish. Cooper hears his heartbeat over a microphone, and creates a rhythmic beat with it, other trolls joining in with clapping, stomping, and other forms of sound making, reviving the power of their music, and Poppy encourages everyone to sing together as their colors are restored. Realizing how important other forms of music are, and encouraged by her father, Barb joins in, regaining her colors, and eagerly accepts Poppy's offer of friendship. Branch is finally able to profess his love to Poppy who reciprocates his feelings, and everyone performs together, all Trolls finally reunited while celebrating their differences. In a mid-credits scene, Bridget and King Gristle arrive to the Pop Troll village, unaware of the events of the film, and worried they have missed the party.

Trolls 2 Voice Cast: Who's Voicing The World Tour Characters

Trying to keep your kids entertained while stuck at home just became a lot easier now that DreamWorks Animation has released Trolls 2: Trolls World Tour as a digital rental the same day that it was supposed to hit theaters. Back in all that good animated and musical goodness is a voice cast including Anna Kendrick , Justin Timberlake , James Corden , and more actors and musicians than any reasonable parent can keep up with.

For the sake of my own sanity, I've put together a list of the Trolls 2: Trolls World Tour voice cast and why their voices probably sound familiar to you. And before you ask, yes, that is Ozzy Osbourne, and yes that is Mr. Christian Grey himself as the oddly adorable Chaz, the Smooth Jazz Troll. So get out your favorite Troll doll and buckle in because we're going on the wild ride that is the Trolls World Tour character (and voice actor) list.

Anna Kendrick - Queen Poppy

Queen Poppy is the main protagonist is both Trolls and Trolls World Tour , in which the fearless leader of the Pop Trolls who sets out unite all the different Trolls tribes that exist outside her own. Poppy is voiced by Anna Kendrick who is best known for her work in the Pitch Perfect and Twilight franchises.

Justin Timberlake - Branch

Unlike his love interest, Queen Poppy, Branch is a cautious and more grounded Pop Troll who spent much of his life mastering different survival skills before embracing song and dance with the Trolls. The character is brought to life by the singer/dancer/actor/everything Justin Timberlake, who requires no further introduction.

James Corden - Biggie

With a heart as large as his stature, Biggie is a tall and round blue Pop Troll who joins Poppy and Branch on their different adventures. Voiced by everyone's favorite carpool karaoke enthusiast James Corden, this lovable character is nothing but bounds and bounds of fun and joy.

Kevin Michael Richardson - Mr. Dinkles

You couldn't have Biggie without his best friend Mr. Dinkles, a small worm who uses a squeaky "mew" sound to communicate instead of using words. Mr. Dinkles is voiced by acclaimed voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson, whose list of credits includes shows like Samurai Jack , The Batman , and Rick And Morty to name just three of his scores of roles.

Kunal Nayyar - Guy Diamond

Guy Diamond is the glittery silver Pop Troll we all came to know and love in Trolls . The so-called "Life Of The Party," Guy Diamond has an auto-tuned voice and is full of himself more than any other troll. He is voiced by Kunal Nayyar, who you might remember as Raj Koothrappali on The Big Bang Theory .

CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER

Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News

Keenan Thompson - Tiny Diamond

The son, or at least tiny version of Guy Diamond, Tiny Diamond is a small, silver and glittery Pop Troll with a deep voice and moves like none other. He is brought alive by Keenan Thompson, who you might remember as the longest-running cast member of Saturday Night Live .

Rachel Bloom - Queen Barb

Queen Barb is the main antagonist in Trolls World Tour . The leader of the Rock Trolls, Barb sets out to capture the five strings and destroy all other forms of music played by the other troll tribes. Queen Barb is voiced by Rachel Bloom, who is best known for co-creating and starring in the CW series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend .

Sam Rockwell - Hickory

Hickory is a Yodeling Troll who is best known for his laid-back personality and obsession of country music. Oh, and he's also a bounty hunter. Hickory is voiced by Academy Award-winning actor Sam Rockwell , who you might remember from Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri , The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy , and Iron Man 2 .

Jamie Dornan - Chaz

With all the different trolls being introduced in Trolls World Tour , it should come as no surprise there would be a Smooth Jazz Troll by the name of Chaz. Part musician and part bounty hunter, Chaz is a character no one will be forgetting for a long time. This could be thanks to the fact that he's voiced by Jamie Dornan , aka Christian Grey.

Icona Pop - Satin And Chenille

Satin and Chenille are conjoined twins connected by their blue and pink hair. Like any good set of twins in an animated movie, Satin and Chenille can't seem to agree on anything. The twins are voiced by Icona Pop (Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt).

George Clinton - King Quincy

Along with Queen Essence, King Quincy rules over the Funk Trolls. King Quincy is brought to life by the living legend of funk music himself, George Clinton.

Mary J. Blige - Queen Essence

Just like her husband, King Quincy, Queen Essence is the leader of the tribe of Funk Trolls in Trolls World Tour . This funky troll is voiced by Mary J. Blige, who also provides sweet vocals for the leader of the Funk Trolls.

Ozzy Osbourne - King Thrash

King Thrash inadvertently gets everything going in Trolls World Tour when he gives his daughter, Queen Barb the idea of collecting the other five strings. This character is voiced by the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne.

Anderson Paak - Prince D

The son of King Quincy and Queen Essence, Prince D is one of the most accepting characters in Trolls World Tour and is very encouraging to just about everyone, including his twin brother, Cooper. Prince D is voiced by award-winning musician Anderson Paak.

Ron Funches - Cooper

Cooper is the fun-loving fuzzy son of King Quincy and Queen Essence that looks more like a giraffe than anything else. With a long neck and four legs, Cooper is definitely one of the strangest member of the Trolls cast appearing for the sequel. Voiced by Ron Funches, who you might remember the television series Undateable .

Kelly Clarkson - Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn is the leader of the Country Trolls who seems nice at first, but turns out to be anything but. She is voiced by Kelly Clarkson .

Red Velvet - K-Pop Gang

The K-Pop gang are a group of female K-Pop Trolls who are nearly identical save for their hair and outfits. They are based off and voiced by the Korean pop group Red Velvet.

Anthony Ramos - King Trollex

King Trollex is the leader of the Techno Trolls and looks like something out of a pixilated rave than he does a traditional troll. This high-energy neon troll is voiced by singer and actor Anthony Ramos, who you might remember from his brief appearance in A Star Is Born .

The McElroy Brothers - Skyscraper

Skyscraper is rather unique Pop Troll that has four heads that talk in unison. They are voiced by the McElroy Brothers.

Those are just some of the trolls you'll get to know and love in Trolls 2: Trolls World Tour . Did we forget your favorite troll? Sound off in the comments below.

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.

Why Does ‘Trolls World Tour’ Relitigate Rock-Critic Debates?

A movie only a bored child could love, the ‘Trolls’ sequel has things to say about pop music and a whole lot more

Share All sharing options for: Why Does ‘Trolls World Tour’ Relitigate Rock-Critic Debates?

Trolls World Tour is actually about rockism. I can’t believe it. Did you hear about this? Did you stumble across the bemused tweets and aghast early-review headlines, à la “Trolls World Tour Is a Poptimist Nightmare,” and not believe it? Yeah, me neither.

And yet! “It’s time for the Hard Rock Revolution to start!” crows Queen Barb (Rachel Bloom), the villainous Rock Troll. “Pop tried to destroy our music!” laments Queen Essence (Mary J. Blige), she of the Funk Trolls, immediately after Prince D the Extra-Funky Troll (Anderson .Paak) raps at length about cultural appropriation. When our hero Queen Poppy (Anna Kendrick) leads the Pop Trolls in a medley that includes “Wannabe,” “Who Let the Dogs Out,” “Gangnam Style,” “Party Rock Anthem,” and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch’s “Good Vibrations” (?!), the Mainstream Country Troll (Kelly Clarkson) gets so pissed that she throws them all in jail. But fear not: The Alt-Country Troll (Sam Rockwell) busts them out. Climactic lines: “You’ve destroyed music! Thanks to the Queen of Pop, we’ve all lost our music! History repeats itself: Pop has ruined everything !”

Already, I feel like you don’t believe me.

That’s King Quincy (George Clinton) on the right. What is going on? What is this movie? What month of quarantine is this? Directed by Walt Dohrn (who also reprises his role voicing the ultra-chill Cloud Guy ; my kids love Cloud Guy), Trolls World Tour is the extra-baffling sequel to 2016’s plenty-baffling Trolls , a neon-and-glitter colossus best known for costarring Justin Timberlake (as the Gloomy Pop Troll) and unleashing his neo-disco hit “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” upon the world. (In this new movie, Timberlake gets to make a joke about disco being dead, which feels like a troll-as-a-verb of some sort.)

I dislike the soundtrack to the first Trolls movie immensely. My kids got obsessed with it, see, and thus I’ve heard “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” 10,000 times, along with the song in which Zooey Deschanel raps, and also the end-credits jam when Kendrick (Anna, not Lamar) and Timberlake cover Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September,” an extra-trolly-in-both-senses glitter-overload remake that I dislike extra-immensely. Regardless, I paid $20 to bring the sequel into our home as a 48-hour rental: That’s what month of quarantine it is.

For indeed, Trolls World Tour , released Friday, was conceived pre-coronavirus as a theater blockbuster, and thus is the first true mid-coronavirus test of whether people—harried parents, specifically—will fork over the equivalent of basically three months of Disney+ just to watch a single new movie in the quote-unquote comfort of their own homes. (Universal boasted on Monday that the movie scored the biggest digital debut ever , FWIW.) Good question! I’ll jump on that one just as soon as someone explains to me how the ultra-wonky Rockism vs. Popism debate, which very crudely boils down to Is Neil Young’s music inherently more genuine and valuable than Beyoncé’s —and which roiled turn-of-the-century message boards, hit The New York Times in 2004, and has fueled many fine think pieces in the 1.5 decades since—is now the basis for a 2020 kids movie in which various adorable cartoon characters poop glitter and/or birthday cakes while singing the likes of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”

The first Trolls movie, directed by Mike Mitchell and based on a beloved series of Danish toys with brushable hair, pitted the happy-go-lucky Trolls (led by Queen Poppy) against the miserable and dastardly Bergens, an orc-like race that once a year (on “Trollstice”) ceremonially eats Trolls to steal their happiness. Macabre high jinks ensue, a gamut of popular songs (from “The Sound of Silence” to Junior Senior’s ask-a-rock-critic jam “Move Your Feet”) are sung, Zooey Deschanel (playing a Bergen maid) raps, the Bergens discover true happiness lies within, and “September” is desecrated to the point that I wish the Trolls involved had actually been eaten. It made nearly $350 million worldwide; stay out of it.

In Trolls World Tour , the Bergens are discarded, and Queen Poppy and her fellow Pop Trolls discover that they are not alone in the universe, genre-wise. “You see, we love music with a hummable hook, with an upbeat melody, with a catchy rhythm that makes you want to snap your fingers, tap your toes, and wiggle your butt.” This is King Peppy, Poppy’s father, talking; he is also played by Dohrn, in a role voiced, in the 2016 original, by Jeffrey Tambor. “But these other Trolls, they sing different. They dance different. Why, some of them can’t even begin to grasp the concept of Hammer Time.”

Cue just a smidgen of “U Can’t Touch This.” Kids-movie-veteran parents are used to this shit, or at least we thought we were. But now there are Techno Trolls. Country Trolls. Classical Trolls. Funk Trolls (basically all black music mushed together). Reggaeton Trolls. K-pop Trolls. Yodeling Trolls. All of whom are existentially threatened by Queen Barb and the Rock Trolls, who fire up “Rock You Like a Hurricane” and “Crazy Train” and a few other tunes you can guess on the first try. (Right: “Barracuda,” too.) The Rock Trolls vow to lay waste to the other kingdoms and collect the Six Strings and something something Thanos something Ultimate Power Chord something world domination. “Pop music isn’t even real music!” Queen Barb complains, super-problematically. “It’s bland! It’s repetitive! The lyrics are empty! Worst of all, it crawls into your head like an earworm!” Watch out for the Beyhive, Barb.

I can’t overemphasize how confusing and psychedelic this viewing experience is as a chastened rock critic, or for that matter as a regular human. “Where’s he going?” my wife blurted out at one point, only partly paying attention as Cooper the hip Pop Troll (Ron Funches) crawled through the desert seeking others of his kind. “Funk Land,” I responded, accurately. “Why are her eyes red?” my wife blurted out a half-hour or so later, paying less attention. “Because she’s a Rock Zombie,” I responded, even more accurately.

Suffice it to say that in a striking echo of Frozen 2 , our peppy singing heroes find out that they—meaning pop stars, meaning mostly white people—are the Real Problem, the capitalist oppressors, the brazen culture-jackers. Every original song in Trolls World Tour is trash save for “It’s All Love,” which costars Clinton, Blige, and Timberlake, and allows .Paak to break down in startling detail how pop music ripped off black music:

Shoulda seen between all of the scheming It seems like the Trolls they stole from were meaningless Walkin’ around like they were the geniuses But it’s only samples, Auto-Tune, and remixes

There’s an ad-lib about not even getting publishing rights! I can’t tell you what percentage of this surrealistic Ted Talk my own kids absorbed: “I actually like this music,” the 6-year-old exclaimed during a brief snippet of the Beastie Boys’ “Brass Monkey,” which so frightens one Troll that it poops out a whole birthday cake, and frankly the 6-year-old and his 9-year-old brother liked that way more. My assumption was that when the Pop Trolls and Country Trolls finally reconciled, they would combine to sing a Florida Georgia Line song, whereupon someone else would throw them all back in jail. But that, as it turns out, was thinking way too hard about a kids’ movie that is already thinking plenty hard itself. “Scrapbooks are cut out, glued, and glittered by the winners,” Prince D the Extra-Funky Troll fumes at one point, and unless you’ve got kids to mollify and $20 to burn, just take my word for it that it sounded profound at the time.

Date of birth: january 31, 1981.

Actor : Ju8stin Timberlake is back as Branch, the reluctant troll who eventually comes around and becomes a strong member of the community and Queen Poppy's love interest. Timberlake got his big start on The Mickey Mouse Club with other future stars like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling. He broke out of his role there with his boy band *NSYNC , which sold 70 million albums worldwide. He has since become a movie star, with roles in The Social Network, Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, and Inside Llewyn Davis ​​​​​​.

Character: Justin Timberlake reprises his role as Branch, Poppy's best friend and hero of the previous Trolls film. In the first movie, he is mostly an outsider and loner because he knows that there is danger out there, and the trolls' loud singing and noise will eventually lead the hunters back to capture more of them. However, when it happens, and he is proven right, he sets out with Queen Poppy to save them. In the second movie, he is also running with Poppy to save the kingdom from the metal trolls.

From a boyband reunion 20 years in the making to some of the hottest up-and-coming solo artists, Trolls Band Together is filled with musical talent.

James Corden as Biggie

Date of birth: august 22, 1978.

Actor : James Corden is a television host, and one of his most popular segments is the Carpool Karaoke. This means that his biggest claim to fame is singing other people's songs, and that is something that plays out well when he appears in the Trolls animated movie franchise. He is also a BAFTA Award winner and hosted The Late Late Show With James Corden until 2023 . Other movie roles include Peter Rabbit, Oceans 8, Cats, and Cinderella .

Character: James Corden returns as Biggie, the lovable, large blue pop troll with a heart of gold. Biggie is the biggest member of the Snack Pack with a heart to match. He also carries his friend Mr. Dinkles (a worm) around with him everywhere he goes. In Trolls World Tour , he hits the road with Queen Poppy to help stop the metal trolls from destroying their world.

Rachel Bloom as Queen Barb

Date of birth: april 3, 1987.

Actor : Rachel Bloom is a comedian and actor who is best known for her role in the musical drama series My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend , where she starred as Rebecca Branch. For that role, she won a Golden Globe Award, a TCA Award, a Critics' Choice Award, and a Primetime Emmy. She also starred in the recent Hulu series Reboot as Hannah Korman and has voiced roles in animated shows like The Simpsons and Portlandia.

Character Rachel Bloom plays Queen Barb in Trolls World Tour, the new leader of the Rock Trolls, hellbent on crusading against the six lands and establishing rock as the only musical genre. Throughout the movie, Barb believes that her rock music is the only music that should exist, and it isn't until Queen Poppy teaches her the real meaning of music that she understands there is room for everyone.

Ozzy Osbourne as King Thrash

Date of birth: december 3, 1948.

Actor : Ozzy Osbourne is easily the most successful and famous singer in the Trolls World Tour voice cast. He got his start in the 1970s as the lead singer of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath. As successful as he was there, he achieved even greater success when he broke out on his own with a solo career. With songs like "Paranoid," "Iron Man," "No More Tears," "Crazy Train," and more, he proven himself a heavy metal god. Ozzy is a part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has a Star on the Walk of Fame.

Character: The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne plays King Thrash of the Rock Trolls in Trolls World Tour . He is the senile father of Queen Barb, now retired from the throne and supportive of his daughter's desires to protect their tribe at all costs. He spends most of the movie with his daughter as she attempts to rid the world of all music that isn't rock.

Kelly Clarkson as Delta Dawn

Date of birth: april 24, 1982.

Actor : Kelly Clarkson is another singer the Trolls World Tour cast brought in. She got her start on the very first season of American Idol , where she won first place and launched her musical career.

On TV, she has been a coach on The Voice and is the host of her own daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show .

Character: Kelly Clarkson plays Delta Dawn in Trolls World Tour , the leader and town mayor of the Country Trolls. This mostly fits her persona, because while she has a lot of pop to her music, she has always veered close to country. In this movie, she is a reluctant ally to Queen Poppy and the battle against the rock trolls that want to end all music but their own.

Sam Rockwell as Hickory

Date of birth: november 5, 1968.

Actor : Sam Rockwell is one of the most successful actors in the Trolls World Tour cast. Rockwell got his start in acting in 1989, after acting for years in school productions.

Critic’s Notebook

‘Trolls World Tour,’ a Kids’ Music Movie, Has Big Problems With Pop

Rock tries to rule the other genres in this sequel to “Trolls,” but the real lesson is about how pop has been a conqueror for generations.

By Jon Caramanica

The original “Trolls” movie in 2016 was about the unique privilege associated with being a Troll — kaleidoscopically colorful lives, unrelenting joy, hourly hug-a-thons. Chipper, loopy songs peppered the film, which presented pop music, and Pop Trolldom, as sources of joy that are unimpeachably good (if a little oblivious).

What horror lies beneath, though? In “Trolls World Tour,” which was released last week, Poppy, queen of the Pop Trolls, discovers that her tribe isn’t the only one out there, and that the Rock Trolls are intent on conquering them all, a residual effect of a time when Pop Trolls were, in fact, invaders. The real lesson of the movie? That one Troll’s privilege never comes without another Troll’s suffering.

And yet in a movie that features musical megastars including Justin Timberlake, George Clinton, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, J Balvin, Ozzy Osbourne and Gustavo Dudamel, it is, somehow, the genial, sometimes grating funk-soul singer-rapper Anderson .Paak who’s tasked with the sociopolitical heavy lifting.

He voices Prince D — a Funk Troll, but really a Hip-Hop Troll — who interrupts Poppy (played by Anna Kendrick as a walking embodiment of Troll privilege) on her quest to save Troll Kingdom from the evil, rhythm-deficient intentions of the Rock Trolls, led by Queen Barb (Rachel Bloom). Prince D presents her with a brief lesson in appropriation history called “It’s All Love (History of Funk)”: “The Pop Trolls started snatching up all of the strings/Put the melodies on top of poppy lil’ beats/They cut us out of the scene.”

Turns out all that Pop Troll joy was built upon the subjugation of other musical Trolls. The actual truth: Pop absorbed all of the things that made each of the other styles great and watered it down! Pop wrote the history books — a scrapbook, in this universe — suggesting that it wasn’t, in fact, the aggressor!

For 6-year-olds who sang along with Poppy and Branch (a tepid Timberlake) last time around, this might be a destabilizing plot twist. But this is exactly the sort of conversation that’s been de rigueur in music criticism for the last couple of decades, especially when compounded by the film’s other plot throughline, the impending imperialism of the Rock Trolls.

This is the film’s central battle: poptimists vs. rockists. (Or, in non-critic terms, the idea that pop music has real cultural value vs. the belief that rock determines the framework through which popular music should be analyzed.) But in “Trolls World Tour,” which reads like a position paper written by someone extremely, perhaps unreasonably frustrated about how the dark side of pop history was erased by the first film, both sides are flawed.

There are, in fact, six Troll tribes — Pop, Funk, Country, Techno, Classical and Rock — that do not overlap (apart from Cooper, a Funk Troll raised by Pop Trolls). The Country Trolls — fronted by Delta Dawn, voiced by an almost embarrassingly good Kelly Clarkson — are robust and protectionist, just like in real life. Classical and Techno merit little narrative exposition, however. There are characters representing reggaeton (played by J Balvin) and K-pop (played by the girl group Red Velvet) as bounty hunters living between tribes, though ones inclined toward dance-offs.

As for pop, the genre is presented as a tonally narrow emotional ethos. “We love music with a hummable hook, with an upbeat melody, with a catchy rhythm that makes you want to snap your fingers, tap your toes and wiggle your butt,” says the Pop Troll king. This is, of course, a very specific and narrow definition that doesn’t much resemble the pop landscape in 2020 — no Post Malone-style miserablism, Drake-esque sing-rapping or Weeknd-like glittery angst.

In this pluralist kingdom, rock is a convenient villain — its Trolls dress in shades of gray and black and prefer clothes and vehicles with spikes; its chords zing out from guitars like blades; and it is also out of fashion. The Rock Trolls come off like a tribe of aggrieved ancients, eager to restore their draconian dullness. They’re also cool villains: Perhaps the next generation of troublemaking kids will turn to rock for inspiration. Cue a heavy metal resurgence around 2030 or so.

Though rock and pop are at odds in “Trolls World Tour,” the movie suggests their impulses are fundamentally the same — to colonize and absorb from others. Pitting pop against hip-hop or funk would have unwelcome racial overtones.

And so all the wisdom comes from the Funk Trolls, whose king and queen are played by Blige and Clinton, black music legends. Even though Poppy ultimately foils the Rock Trolls’ plan for rock zombification of all the Troll nations, it’s only with the wisdom she gleans from the Funk Trolls that she’s set on that path.

In the first “Trolls,” most of the rapping came from Zooey Deschanel’s character, a grave error corrected here with Anderson .Paak’s Prince D, and also Tiny Diamond (Kenan Thompson). There’s another nod to hip-hop’s generative power, too. In the climactic scene (spoiler alert), in which Poppy rescues everyone from rock’s clutches, the thing that begins to restore life, color and music to all of the Trolls is Cooper’s heartbeat, followed by Prince D’s beatboxing. Pop gets the glory, but hip-hop is the foundation. Business as usual.

Three top moments from Justin Timberlake’s gravity-defying, barbecue-loving Austin show

If God had meant for Mouseketeers to fly, he would have given them harness rigs and floating stages.

What’s that? He did? 

Oh, well then. Carry on, Justin Timberlake.

The pop star/former boy-bander/one-time bringer-back of sexy packed Austin’s Moody Center on Friday for a stop on “The Forget Tomorrow World Tour.” The evening brought barbecue banter, fancy footwork and heaps of hits. He’ll perform again on Saturday.

Here are three unforgettable things that happened at Timberlake’s first ATX concert.

Justin Timberlake loves Terry Black’s BBQ

Timberlake mentioned that he’s been at this show biz thing for three decades now — Mouseketeer, remember? — and gushed about growing up with his audience. He shouted out his fans since the days of a “little group I started in called ’N Sync.”

His easy crowd work at Moody Center reminded us of banter by another former boy band star who played the venue, Harry Styles . Of course, Timberlake has always banked on charisma as much as singing and dancing. 

“Let me go ahead and get this out of the way,” Timberlake said. “Alright, alright alright. “You feel that?” Then, he had the arena invoke the McConaughey mantra, too.

Timberlake also cozied up to his host city like many touring acts do: through food. 

“If you see me moving slow tonight, you have to blame that Terry Black’s . You’re talking to a Memphis boy. Those burnt ends? That’s good barbecue,” he said.

The singer laid it on as thick as a cloud of Mexican free-tailed bats. “I’ve been trying to keep myself weird for years so I feel like I fit in,” he said about his love of the city.

‘My Love’ and more unleashed that Timberlake talent

There wasn’t a lot of time to chat, because Timberlake’s stage was an engine running on talent. A giant rectangular set piece — think the monolith from “2001: A Space Odyssey” — doubled as a 3-D projection screen and a rotating piece of sculpture. 

Behind it, Timberlake’s phenomenal Tennessee Kids backing band set up shop, but they frequently burst from the bandstand to throw themselves into on-stage choreo.

Timberlake opened with “No Angels,” a fizzy and funky bit of pop from new album “Everything I Thought It Was.” He wore shades indoors. A thick silver chain — the international symbol for white boy swag — gleamed every time he spun on his heels. 

“You got that somethin' new, that sexy attitude,” he sang, and at least half of that line applied to him, too. 

Few sexy attitudes can ignite an entire arena, though, and Timberlake has one that can. On “LoveStoned,” he kept the footwork coming, like Gene Kelly if he sang about freaky girls. His soles glided across the floor. With every popped arm and locked shoulder, he toggled the stopwatch on time and space. And Timberlake must know how slick it looks to flip the mic in his hand like a switchblade, because he did it several times.

It was one of the most well-paced shows we can remember, the tempo perfectly ebbing and flowing with the mood. Midway through the set, Timberlake traveled on foot through the audience to a secondary circular stage on the other end of the arena for a more intimate act (the Tennessee Kids followed, too). 

The concert’s dynamism sparkled best during “My Love,” Timberlake’s 2006 No. 1 that might be his best song. Almost 20 years later, that Timbaland production still sounds like a glitchy, romantic future yet to come. (Or a “FutureSex/LoveSound,” if you will.) The performance began with jazzy piano and a spotlight. Timberlake bowed to a rapturous crowd. His signature falsetto, which got a healthy workout all night, morphed into its most soulful shape. He held a Broadway-worthy high note as he sang “this ring here represents my heart.” 

As the song built to a climax, Timberlake gave generous deference to his musicians, trading verses with the backup singers as they one-upped him in power and range. “Sheesh,” Timberlake mugged in respect. The energy spilled over, and the whole band descended to the stage to jump with Timberlake and the dancers like a pan of Jiffy Pop. The room crackled at the end.

Timberlake can still bring ‘SexyBack’ (and more)

These days, Timberlake is better known for making Jimmy Fallon giggle than for racking up top 10 hits. A setlist tells no lies, though, and his catalog absolutely rips. 

“Cry Me a River” got the people on their feet after a slower stretch. The underrated “Let the Groove Get In” was a vibe, African and Latin rhythms swirling while the horn line whipped out footwork and hauled a metric ton of brass into the air. Timberlake strapped on an acoustic guitar and turned “What Goes Around… Comes Around” into a silky smooth singalong.

The newer material was more uneven. Big, brassy “Sanctified” sounded like any thudding gospel-rock song making the festival circuit in between teen soap opera placements. “Infinity Sex” — what a title — saw Timberlake at his most cheesily sordid, bumping and grinding with backup dancers.

While making his way back from the secondary stage to the big stage, Timberlake deployed “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” a massive chart-topper unleashed upon the world by the “Trolls” movie. While you can’t argue with a lizard brain, the song has all the edge of a Fisher Price production. The blandly positive lyrics seemed even more insipid amid all the bedroom jams. The audience squealed; Timberlake was Pagliacci in a chunky silver chain.

Fortunately, Timberlake waited until the end to unleash his sonic Godzillas. “Rock Your Body” rinsed off the Troll dust. (Though we might not have emphasized the line “I'll have you naked by the end of this song” so emphatically after the Janet Jackson of it all. ) “SexyBack” followed, every bit the horndog banger it’s always been. Timberlake capped off a night of dancing feats. A giant animated Justin head mouthed the song’s ad libs. Can’t deny that “duet with a multistory version of your face sealed in carbonite” is an effectively weird spectacle.

Timberlake ramped up the showmanship for an airborne encore of romantic anthem “Mirrors.” That monolith set piece tilted downward to reveal the singer standing on its back side — think of the core strength. It leveled off and flew across the arena, with a harness-rigged Timberlake singing his heart out. 

Guess the barbecue didn’t weigh him down after all.

• Orange - the "Country" string. It was under the protection of Delta Dawn .
• Red - the "Rock" string. It was under the protection of Barb .
• Pink - the "Pop" String. It was under the protection of Poppy .

Abilities [ ]

Each one produced a note of the type of music they represented when plucked. For example, the Pop String played a pop note. Together, the Strings originally created harmony among the Trolls and when played together as individual genres allowed them all to enjoy each others' music, as well as all music genres in between.

It was possible to use a string to overwrite the natural tune of the other strings, and if all 6 were gathered, all music types could be removed except the one of the player's choice. This forms the basis of Queen Barb 's quest in Trolls World Tour , as she seeks out the other 5 Strings to destroy all music but Rock. As seen when she places the Techno string, its blue color changes to red to match the Rock string; the music it represented then disappears. Although the Trolls of that correspondent music are unable to play it at this point, there's no other impacts to the Trolls controlled by it.

When used together, the Strings have the power to transform music into one kind. When the ancestors of the Pop Trolls had it, they used the Strings to remix any genre into Pop music, thus forcing only Pop to be heard. The Strings also have the power to forcibly transform Trolls into a different kind under the sway of the one who transformed them, just like when Barb transformed Branch , King Quincy & Queen Essence, King Trollex, Trollzart, and Delta Dawn (as well as Clampers Buttonwillow in this case) into Rock zombies. The transformation didn't change their physical build, but gave them a "Hard Rock" look. The Trolls were reduced to mindlessly obeying the person who transformed them, and overwrote all other behaviors. Barb also had a prediction map that showed she had won: it wasn't just the Trolls that would have been transformed, but the rest of the Troll Kingdom would've been terraformed to look like Volcano Rock City .

Even though, if someone is unable to hear the Strings being used upon them in this manner (as Poppy used gumdrops as earplugs), they'll only change their appearance on the outside, and remain who they really are on the inside.

The destruction of the Strings undo this forced transformation, reverting the converted Trolls back to their original selves. However, this seemingly rids the Trolls of their music and their colors. This proved to be wrong after they quickly realized that they no longer needed the Strings, since their respective favorite kinds of music had always come from their hearts.

The Strings had a strange impact on minor Tribes such as K-Pop Trolls , Reggaeton Trolls , Smooth Jazz Trolls and Yodelling Trolls . Barb offered to spare any of these genres if the Bounty Hunters of those Genres brought Queen Poppy to her, thus Barb was capable of overwriting their music with the Strings as well. Even as the other 5 main genres were overwritten, it was seen they were still able to play their music even with all 6 Strings tuned to Rock. When the Strings were destroyed, however, they lost their music as well, as the Strings impact all music together.

History [ ]

In the beginning, the Trolls had no music and life was boring. One day, a sound caught their attention, and in an attempt to capture that sound the ancestors of the Trolls heard, the Strings came to be.

How the Strings came to be varies per source:

• In trailers, the Trolls created 6 Strings to represent different types of music: Pop, Funk, Techno, Classical, Country, and Rock.
• The imagery backing that Peppy accounts implies the strings came from the hair of a Troll from each tribe, as the ancestral Trolls shown in the flashback had hair colors that matched their tribal Strings' colors.
• The Funk Trolls, meanwhile, claim that the Trolls found the Strings instead.

Each String belonged to a different Tribe of the same name, and was as different to each other as the Tribes were to each other. The six Strings governed each kind of music, as well as everything in between the Tribes' music.

The Troll Tribes had a party, and life was good until the Pop Troll ancestors decided to steal the Strings. They remixed the genres of the other Tribes into Pop music, refusing to let the others play their sounds. In order to get their music back, the leaders of the 5 other Tribes each took their Tribe's string and ran from the Pop Trolls to the corners of Troll Kingdom. The Troll tribes thereafter lived apart, isolated from each other.

The Pop Trolls' ancestors with the stolen Strings

The Pop Trolls themselves remained with the lyre and having only their String left. They would go on to claim in their Scrapbooks the reason for their split was that the Trolls had a fight and the elders called for separation, but this was confirmed false.

Poppy moments before smashing the Ultimate Power Chord guitar holding the Strings.

Things remained that way until the events of Queen Barb 's Rock World Tour. According to her, it was King Thrash who suggested the idea of taking the Strings. She took each String with the intention to unite the Tribes under one kind of music: Rock, with everyone being turned into Rock zombies using the Ultimate Power Chord. The only Trolls spared was whoever brought her Queen Poppy , after Poppy (unintentionally) annoyed Barb. Barb succeeded in obtaining all the Strings, and converted Branch into a Rock zombie after he shielded Poppy from the Chord, then doing the same to all the other Tribe leaders. A severe miscalculation on her part in regards to Poppy spared her from being converted fully into a Rock zombie, as she used gumdrops as earplugs to keep herself from being brainwashed. When Poppy tells Barb that a world where everything is under one type of music isn't harmony and that a good queen listens to her people, she destroyed the Strings, turning every Rock zombie, alongside her appearance, back to how they originally were and ending Barb's dream and plan of uniting the Tribes under the Rock music once and for all.

With the Strings gone, the music the Trolls had was seemingly drained. They quickly realized that they could make music without them, as what kinds of music they love now came from their hearts, thus ending the need for the Strings.

• When told the truth of the Pop Trolls having stolen the Strings previously, and the Rock Trolls having now gone on a conquest to find the Strings, Poppy pointed out to Quincy this won't stop with the Rock Trolls. She notes the cycle will continue after the Rock Trolls and that it was only a matter of time before one of the other Tribes eventually goes after them. With the Strings now destroyed, however, this is no longer a threat.
• During Just Sing , Techno Trolls hearts' glow blue or green, and the It's All Love depicts the Techno String to be green as opposed to blue in the movie itself. This may be a reference to some languages that don't give distinction to the two colors .
• Most of the tribal leaders . Poppy's body is mostly pink, Barb's hair is red, Delta's skin is orange, Trollzart's skin is yellow, Quincy's skin is purple and Trollex's skin is blue.
• The TrollsTopia Tribal Council. Val has red in her eyes and accessories, Holly has orange skin, Dante has golden skin, Lownote has purple in his hair, and Synth has blue skin, with Poppy once again filling a spot and being pink.
• This also extends to many of the supporting and minor characters in the Trolls: TrollsTopia series.
• A fan Twitter account noted that the instrument that the Strings were originally on is a "lyre", and that it sounds similar to the word "liar". The official Trolls twitter according would go on to retweet this. [1]
• The story of the strings is the first time its revealed Pop Trolls embellish stories - it was not the first example. In Trolls Band Together it turns out to be the second when it was revealed The Last Trollstice story had also been embellished by them.

Taylor Swift, ‘Barbie' Lead Nominations for 2024 Kids' Choice Awards (Full List)

Taylor Swift is the leading individual nominee for the 2024 Kids' Choice Awards, with six nods. She is followed on Nick's slime-coated leaderboard by Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo and Justin Timberlake, with four nods each.

It's probably not just a coincidence that all five of these artists were quite young when they started. Cyrus was just 13 when she landed her first hit on the Billboard Hot 100 (as Hannah Montana); Swift and Beyoncé were each 16 when they first appeared on that chart (Beyoncé, as a member of Destiny's Child); Timberlake and Rodrigo were each 17 (JT, as a member of *NSYNC).

Swift's nominations are for favorite female artist, favorite album ( The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology ), favorite global music star, favorite ticket of the year (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour) and two nominations for favorite music collaboration (for "Fortnight," featuring Post Malone, and the "Karma" remix with Ice Spice.)

Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is nominated too, for favorite male sports star.

Barbie also scored heavily in the nominations, with eight total nods. The box-office juggernaut has four nods in film categories (favorite movie, favorite movie actor for Ryan Gosling and favorite movie actress for both Margot Robbie and America Ferrera) and four in music categories (favorite album, favorite song for both Dua Lipa's "Dance the Night" and Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?" and favorite music collaboration for Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice's "Barbie World" with Aqua).  

Women have dominated the pop scene in recent years, so it is fitting that they dominate the nominations in such gender-neutral categories as favorite album, favorite song, favorite ticket (tour) of the year and favorite global music star.

Women fill six of the eight slots for favorite song. Dua Lipa, Cyrus, Doja Cat, Beyoncé, Eilish and Ariana Grande are vying for the award with Luke Combs and Timberlake. Beyoncé, Grande and Eilish have each won in this category twice in the past. If any of them wins again this year, they will tie Harry Styles as the only three-time winner in the history of the category (which dates to 1988). Styles won twice with One Direction and once on his own, with "As It Was" at last year's show.

The competition is fierce for favorite female artist. Five of the eight nominees are past category champs – Grande (a five-time winner), Selena Gomez (a four-time winner), Cyrus and Swift (both two-time winners), Beyoncé (a one-time winner) – and three artists looking for their first wins in the category: Eilish, Cardi B and Rodrigo.

Timberlake received three music nominations – favorite male artist (a category he won in 2007 and 2014), favorite song for "Selfish" and, with *NSYNC, favorite music group (a category the boy band won in 1999). On the film side, he is nominated for favorite male voice from an animated movie for Trolls Band Together.

Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2024  will be simulcast live on the East Coast on Saturday, July 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, TV Land, CMT and MTV2.  The show will be hosted by SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke). This marks the first time that the show has been hosted by virtual characters.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants , which first aired on Nickelodeon as a sneak peek after the Kids' Choice Awards on May 1, 1999, and officially premiered on July 17 of that year. The 2024 Kids' Choice Awards will re-create the undersea home of Bikini Bottom, the setting of SpongeBob SquarePants .

The Kids' Choice Awards, complete with green slime and Nick's signature orange blimp award, has long been a top attraction for young viewers. (O.G. fans of the show who were, say, 8 when the show debuted in 1987 are now 45. Time marches on, even when you're being slimed.)

The show will be held at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion for the first time since 2010 and the 11th time overall.

Beginning today, fans in the U.S. can cast their votes across 33 categories on the official Kids' Choice Awards website, KidsChoiceAwards.com . International markets will also open voting today, including additional regional categories.

Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2024 is produced by Nickelodeon Productions and overseen by: Ashley Kaplan, executive vice president, Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Unscripted & Digital Franchise Studio; Paul J Medford, vice president, unscripted current series; Luke Wahl, vice president, unscripted creative; Jennifer Bryson, vice president, production, tentpoles, events & music & specials; and Ellen Rydzewski, senior vice president, celebrity, events & talent relations. Guy Carrington & Kevin Hermanson of Done and Dusted serve as executive producers, with Rob Paine serving as co-executive producer. The show is directed by James Merryman.

Jennifer Lopez’s Canceled Tour, and Society’s Twisted Pleasure in Seeing Strong Women Fail

For a variety of reasons, one of the biggest stories in entertainment this year has been the precarious state of Jennifer Lopez ’s “This Is Me… Now” tour, which was finally put out of its misery yesterday.

Related Stories

Pixar key to hdr cinema expansion, what's so good about on running the sneaker brand you see everywhere just dropped a new shoe for summer, popular on variety.

Just a few days earlier, another major act canceled their own overly ambitious North American tour that was scheduled to hit many of the same arenas that J-Lo’s was — the male rock duo the Black Keys. After that news broke, people asked what that said about the state of the touring business.

But when J. Lo canceled her tour just days later, people asked what it says about her.

As a society, why do we do that?

Broadly speaking, the reasons for both cancellations are the same: An artist past their commercial prime makes an overly optimistic projection about the response to their new project, gets it wrong, and pays the price — as do their partners in the enterprise, from promoters and venues down to dancers and truck drivers, because it takes a village to put on a tour of that size, and literally hundreds of people’s livelihoods are affected by those cancelations (which is something conveniently forgotten in the thinly veiled glee much of the public seems to take in such missteps).

Granted, the pop audience that J-Lo is targeting is very different from the more-loyal, less-fickle rock fans the Black Keys were aiming at. The pop world that J-Lo inhabits has the attention span of a smart fish and is infamously unforgiving of perceived transgressions, which can span from intentional factors — like a romantic partner who fans decide they don’t like — to unintended ones like, say, a multifaceted, self-absorbed autobiographical project by someone who famously is not the world’s kindest or most gracious superstar. For all her Bronx toughness and swagger, J-Lo has always been a pop artist and she knows that game and everything that comes with it.

But fame and power put people at a remove from reality, and it’s ultimately irrelevant whether everyone in her orbit also thought this project and tour were a great idea, or whether no one dared to say, “Hey, after the disastrous failure of ‘Gigli’” — the dreadful 2003 Affleck-Lopez film that not only destroyed the pair as a commercial property, but also helped tank the first era of their relationship — “maybe reviving Bennifer as a commercial enterprise isn’t a great idea?” The end result was the same: a canceled tour and a stiff album. Artists make similar miscalculations every year.

Yet the online venom and hateration that has surrounded the failure of this enterprise has been epic in scale. The term schadenfreude — a combination of the German nouns Schaden, meaning “damage” or “harm,” and Freude, meaning “joy,” per Merriam-Webster — means taking pleasure, often illogical pleasure, in others’ misfortune. And while men certainly can be victims of it — does anyone remember Martin Shkreli and his unusually punchable face ? — society certainly seems to reserve the worst of its venom for powerful, successful, talented women.

It’s a matter of public record that women’s rights are under ferocious attack, from Iran, Afghanistan and Russia to the United States and our arguably corrupt Supreme Court, multiple state governments and even Benedictine College’s commencement . But the hate isn’t coming exclusively from men. At a certain point, we decide we don’t like a public figure anymore without really knowing — or at least without consciously thinking about — why.

Except subconsciously, it’s probably not that deep. Sometimes we just don’t like or get tired of someone’s face (cf. Shkreli, who never had a chance), sometimes we resent their success, sometimes we also resent their happiness, or at least their seeming flaunting of it. In the wider public eye, J-Lo seems to have run afoul of the latter two, and the rumors that she and Affleck may be separating after less than two years of marriage seem an almost inevitable final act before a (probably equally inevitable) redemption chapter, after everyone finally realizes how unfair they were (cf. Britney Spears).

This is a road that Beyonce also went down at the peak of her career. She (apparently) shared the challenges that her own marriage was facing — and intensified her already-deep connection with her audience — in the lyrics of her galvanizing “Lemonade” album and tour… but then made a sort of happy-ending follow-up with her 2018 duet album with husband Jay-Z, “Everything Is Love,” which landed well initially but in retrospect is self-indulgent, treacly and awkwardly self-congratulatory: It’s just hard to have much empathy for two near-billionaires singing about how difficult it was coming through the fire. Their ruling status — and the fact that people are genuinely afraid of their fanbases — enabled them to dodge the storm that usually follows such hubris.

J-Lo, as we’re seeing, hasn’t dodged those bullets. At 54, she’s at a tricky point in a pop star career: Hit singles for artists at that age are as rare as Bigfoot sightings — Cher’s “Believe” and Kylie Minogue’s “Padam Padam,” the two main examples that come to mind, were released more than a quarter-century apart — and only generationally defining stars with enormous catalogs of hits, like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel can tour arenas into retirement age. What’s missing from that category? Women. Most of the top-grossing female touring artists — Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Pink — are under 45. The only one who isn’t, Madonna, at 65 played to some middling audiences on her just-completed, mostly triumphant “Celebration” tour, as well as an estimated 1.6 million people at the final concert in Brazil. She’s weathered all of the above storms — and then some — and come out on top, but it’s taken hurricane-force, once-in-a-generation level of determination (and probably has taken quite a personal toll as well).

Variety pursued the reports of J. Lo’s poor ticket sales — and those of the Black Keys and others —aggressively, not for reasons of schadenfreude but because such stories are important in our corner of the media world, and it’s a sad fact of our business that bad news gets a lot more clicks than good news. Her fans swarmed on us, which comes with the turf, but the stories were hugely successful. As it does every time schadenfreude piles up on a female public figure, I was reminded of something: During the heyday of Lena Dunham’s TV series “Girls,” there was a video meme — or whatever passed for a meme in 2012 — of young women making comical, snarky opinions about show, with one of them saying, “I’ve never seen it… but I think I don’t like it.”

It was a joke, but still, that statement seems like a sadly perfect distillation of the amount of thought, let alone logic, that goes into the kind of hateration that J. Lo and so many other female public figures are receiving right now. It’s also not hard to imagine that syndrome playing a major role in many other successful women being brought down a peg after a majority of people decide they just don’t like her, not least the defeat of Hillary Clinton by her unapologetically misogynist opponent in 2016.

J. Lo is a great artist and she will be fine, and she’s clearly tough enough to weather all of this. But why should she have to? There’s obviously more going on here than just a canceled tour, and it does make one wonder whether the guilty pleasure of schadenfreude and our role in furthering it is a problem that goes beyond a few “harmless” clicks.

Eiza González defends Jennifer Lopez against ‘disturbing’ trolls after tour cancellation: ‘Be kind’

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Actress Eiza González hit back at the “disturbing” bullying Jennifer Lopez has faced since canceling her tour last week amid marital woes with Ben Affleck.

In a statement posted to her Instagram Story Friday, the “3 Body Problem” actress lambasted internet trolls for mocking the “Ain’t It Funny” singer relentlessly.

“I have to say the level of bullying that this woman has received in the last few months is so disturbing and heartbreaking. How can you complain about someone being mean while enjoying mean about them,” González wrote.

González, 34, re-shared J.Lo’s cancellation announcement and added that the “world is a complicated place” in which “we have no clue what people are experiencing.”

“People are humans, make mistakes and some have personal things happening while also having to be constantly perfect in the public eye,” the “Ambulance” star added.

“The best thing we could be doing now is to be kind.”

A “devastated” Lopez, 54, informed her fans she was cutting her show, which already had undergone a rebrand amid low ticket sales, because she needed to “be with her children, family and close friends.”

A source denied low ticket sales had anything to do with the decision to call it quits.

The “Shotgun Wedding” star and Affleck, 51, have been the subject of intense divorce rumors, with one insider having told us that the Oscar winner has “come to his senses” about the failed marriage.

“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity , he would,” the source shared. “He feels like the  last two years  was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”

The estranged couple, who have been living separately for the past few weeks, have reunited on multiple occasions for the sake of their children. Lopez blew air kisses at her “Gigli” co-star upon leaving his son Samuel’s basketball game over the weekend, and last week made a brief appearance at Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation party.

The duo also put on a united front last month when they took their blended family to a movie event. Notably, Affleck skipped every single one of Lopez’s promotional event for her latest Netflix film, “Atlas.”

Even without Taylor Swift, 2024 midyear top 10 tours gross is up 83%; Seventeen is the highest-ranking Asian act

Although taylor swift's eras tour is the first to gross over the billion mark, her concert numbers weren't reported to billboard boxscore..

2024 is merely crossing the midyear mark, but it's already proved to be a considerably king-sized year vis-a-vis the grosses of the concert industry, reflecting a staggering spike from last year's cumulative tally.

According to Billboard Boxscore's midyear recap, the Top 10 tours of the year thus far have already racked up unprecedented collections, which have gone up 83% from last year's combined grosses. Billboard's analysis only takes into account global data voluntarily reported to Boxscore by promoters, venues and artists. What may strike one as a shocking plot twist in these revelations is that these numbers don't include Taylor Swift 's sales information for the Eras Tour because the ‘Anti-Hero’ songstress didn't report those grosses. The pop diva played 26 shows across South America, Australia and Asia during the tally period.

Despite those missing figures, the 83% spike represents the top 10 tours, including talents like U2, Pink, Madonna, Coldplay and others, scoring total combined grosses surpassing $1.5 billion. Billboard Boxscore's midyear tally recorded data for these top 10 concert tours from October 1, 2023, to March 30, 2024.

The historic milestone for the concert industry also documented 8 out of the top 10 tours crossing the $100 million gross mark this year. However, only two tours (Elton John and Harry Styles ) achieved this feat in last year's midpoint records.

As far as Billboard's genre breakdown is concerned, rock and pop dominated the list, with country tailing behind them.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour impact

The significantly startling fact here is that if Taylor Swift's Eras Tour records were to be included in the midpoint analysis, being cognisant of the reality that her shows have already concocted the highest-grossing tour of all time, the numbers would have skyrocketed off the roof. According to Pollstar's estimations, The Eras Tour is the first concert series to eclipse the $1 billion mark in total gross. Moreover, Swift's tour achieved this milestone in December 2023, while her world tour schedule is far from over.

Not only Taylor Swift, but even Beyonce led the concert landscape with her Renaissance shows, leaving Pollstar with no choice but to declare 2023 the “historic golden age” for such tours.

Next up, Pink and Madonna are the second and third-highest-grossing acts, respectively. While the former amassed $196 million from 42 shows, the latter secured $190.6 million from 67 dates of her 80-day Celebration Tour during that chart period.

Here's the complete list of the Top 10 tours recorded during the 6 months:
