The twist: a Harry Styles warm-up

Here's the part that has us screaming. Before her own tour even starts, Tinashe will join Harry Styles as a guest on his Together, Together Tour for shows in Phoenix on April 2 and 3, 2027, The FADER reports. That's less than two weeks before Dallas.

And she is riding a huge wave right now. Popstar debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200, selling 35,500 copies in its first week, per The FADER, which says fans sparked a viral #UpliftTinashe trend that led to "a wider cultural reappraisal" of her whole catalog. She recently joined Charli xcx onstage at Austin City Limits to perform "Melatonin," and she's set to play Chappell Roan's Super Graphic Spectacular benefit show in L.A. this week, The FADER adds.

Asked about Popstar by Billboard News, she put it simply: "I'm just creating based on what feels good to me."
