Benett/Dave Benett/Getty Images for BOSS Ellie Goulding kept her pandemic pregnancy a secret, so now she's revealing a series of big moments from her journey to the birth of son Arthur, who arrived sometime in early May. In the caption of her Instagram video, which she writes was produced by her husband Caspar Jopling, Ellie says, "dropped a BIG unexpected side project this year. think it might be the greatest yet- shoutout to Mother Nature for the collab of all collabs."

Columbia If you thought it was random that John Mayer and Maren Morris performed together at the Grammy Awards back in March, well, now we know why: She's featured on his new single, "Last Train Home." The track is the first release from John's upcoming album, Sob Rock, which he says was inspired by '80s music. "Last Train Home" definitely has that vibe: The keyboards and percussion sound quite a bit like Toto's classic, "Africa." The video shows John performing with his band and alone in a train station. He also plays with an adorable dog. Maren adds her vocals to the last part of the song and pops up in the video, grooving in jeans, a bikini top and a fringed jacket. Sob Rock -- featuring album artwork that looks like it escaped from 1982 -- will be released July 16, but it's available for pre-order now. A variety of new merchandise is also available, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, vinyl and cassette. Sob Rock will include the singles John has release..

Robert Kamau/GC Images Halsey is expecting her first child, but she wants to help out parents who, unlike her, may not be able to afford everything they need for their bundle of joy. Describing herself as "super-duper pregnant" and showing off her belly in an Instagram video, Halsey explains that when she first found out she was expecting, she was very confused as to exactly which products and supplies she'd need for the little one, so she turned to the Babylist app and website to help her choose and check off items. By the time her friends, fans and colleagues starting asking if she had a registry, Halsey says, she'd already purchased everything she needed. But that's when she got the idea to reach out to Babylist and help those in need with a "Great Group Gift," which will serve as a "universal baby registry." "We decided to team up so that we could create a website where you could donate a gift or donate an amount of money that was going to go to a family or pare..
