On the new music, Meghan shares, “‘Still Don’t Care’ really sets the tone for this whole Toy With Me era — it’s bold, fun, a little cheeky, and full of confidence. This song came from a place of growth for me; I’m learning to care less about perfection and more about what actually makes me happy. I’m learning to shake off negativity, choosing joy, and living life my way — because at this point in my life and career, I’m ready to be done worrying about pleasing everyone. ‘Still Don’t Care’ is my reminder to myself — and to anyone who’s ever felt judged. Toy With Me feels like the most honest and fearless I’ve ever been — it’s all about self-confidence, freedom, and learning how to meet people where they are at. I wanted to kick off this new chapter with a song that makes people feel unstoppable, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy to everyone on The Get In Girl Tour next summer.”
The new album follows 2024’s Timeless, which was Meghan’s most confident and ambitious record yet. Timeless was accompanied by Meghan’s first headline tour in eight years and the biggest of her career — a 26-show run that included sold out stops at Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum. Shortly after the tour wrapped Meghan was also honored with the “Hitmaker Award” at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, celebrating 10 years of hits since the release of her debut album Title and chart-topping smash “All About That Bass.”
Next summer, Meghan heads back on the road for The Get In Girl Tour, which sees her return to over 30 arenas and amphitheatres across North America, featuring support from Icona Pop. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is a non-profit organization with a charitable mission to end suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ+) young people, offering suicide prevention and crisis intervention services for LGBTQ+ youth through their free, 24/7 hotline and serving as a leading voice in education, advocacy, and research relating to LGBTQ+ youth and mental health.

Comedy sensation returns with back-to-back shows next September
UNCASVILLE, CT (November 10, 2025) – Today, record-breaking comedianMatt Rife announced an extension of his highly successful Stay Golden World Tour, with a run of 40+ new dates playing off next year across North America, Europe and the UK including a return to Mohegan Sun Arena for back to back shows on Friday, September 4th and Saturday September 5th. Both shows are set to start at 8:00pm.
Tickets to see the Mohegan Sun Arena Walk of Fame member go on sale via Ticketmaster at 10:00am on Friday, November 14th. Tickets will be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, November 15th. For Friday tickets, click HERE and for Saturday, click HERE.
In select markets, Rife will introduce a new 360° in-the-round stage design, giving fans a completely immersive experience. With the addition of these shows, Matt will be heading to 10+ countries next year with a total of 60+ shows.
The 2026 leg follows this year’s Stay Golden Tour, which saw Rife play shows across San Diego, Austin, Philadelphia, and more — including two sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, making him the youngest comedian to sell out the venue. Rife has shattered multiple venue records across the country on this tour, including the most single-event tickets ever sold at both Columbus’ Nationwide Arena and Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, as well as the all-time ticket sales record at Manchester’s SNHU Arena and the paid seat record for the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI. He also set a new benchmark at Anaheim’s Honda Center, breaking the record for most tickets sold by a comedian in the venue’s history.
His Stay Golden era builds on the success of his ProbleMATTic World Tour, where Rife sold over 600,000 tickets across 250+ shows in under 48 hours following its 2023 announcement. That global run included stops across North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia, solidifying his status as one of comedy’s biggest breakout stars.
Rife’s next special for Netflix premieres globally on December 2nd, 2025. Matt Rife: Unwrapped — A Christmas Crowd Work Special, “explores gifts, traditions and who’s made it on the naughty or nice list this year.” Directed by Erik Griffin, the special was taped in Phoenix, Arizona. Rife also executive produced along with Christina Shams. His company, Carpe Noctem, produced the special along with Avesta Entertainment and Above Average.
ABOUT MATT RIFE
Comedian/Actor/Producer/Writer/and NY Times Best Selling Author Matt Rife has cemented himself as one of the biggest stand ups in the world through his chart-topping Netflix specials and his remarkable engagement on social media where he has amassed over 44.6 million followers, and more than 3 billion views globally.
Last December, Rife released his first book, Your Mom’s Gonna Love Me, a memoir from Simon & Schuster which instantly became a New York Times bestseller. In his book, Rife reveals (without apology, of course) what led him to becoming comedy’s biggest lightning rod before he reached thirty, in a story full of bold and hysterical takes on everything from Rap battles with ex-cons to Matt’s struggles with depression and his many brushes with failure before finally hitting it big.
On his ProbleMATTic World Tour, Rife sold out four shows at The Dolby Theater in Hollywood, where the Academy Awards are held. In December 2023, Rife set a record at the Mohegan Sun Arena with five nights of consecutive sold out performances and he became the youngest stand-up comedian to sell out the Hollywood Bowl with over 17,000 tickets sold. This tour sold over 600,000 tickets in under 48 hours, becoming one of the largest comedy tours in over 20 years. After the success of his tour, Rife signed on for a second world tour with Live Nation & a feature film, Rolling Loud, an R-rated comedy co-starring Owen Wilson and co-produced by Live Nation Productions and American High.
As a result of his success, Rife earned placement on the Forbes list for Forbes 30 under 30 in 2023 and top creators lists in 2024 and 2025.
Originally from a small town near Columbus, Ohio, Matt started performing at the age of 15 then moved out to Los Angeles two years later where he began his career in Hollywood.
In 2021, Rife self-produced and distributed through YouTube his first one-hour comedy special, Only Fans. In April 2023, the comedian bet on himself again and self-released his second stand-up special, Matthew Steven Rife on YouTube. The special was taped in Austin, TX and is dedicated to his biggest role model, his grandfather Steven who had recently passed. Only a couple months later, Rife decided to release a crowd work special, Walking Red Flag on YouTube, which has amassed over 17 million views.
On November 15th, 2023, the comedian released his highly anticipated third stand-up special, Matt Rife: Natural Selection on Netflix, which garnered outstanding numbers including over 10.3 million views in its first two weeks and earned a Top 10 ranking in 42 countries including #1 in US, Canada, and South Africa. Natural Selection was the most viewed special on Netflix for the second half of 2023. From the overwhelming success of his first Netflix special, Rife inked a two-special deal along with a development deal for a series that he will write and star in. The deal with Rife included Netflix’s first ever crowd work special, Lucid, which debuted on August 13th, 2024 and again cemented him in the top 10 most watched shows in 37 countries on the streamer for two weeks.
In addition to stand-up, he made his television debut on MTV’s Wild ‘N Out as the youngest cast member in history for four seasons before moving on to other MTV properties, such as hosting the reboot of TRL and appearing on The Challenge. Other credits include Fresh Off The Boat, NBC’s comedy competition show Bring The Funny, Netflix’s That 90’s Show, and can be seen in the final season of Netflix’s comedy series Mo, opposite Mo Amer.
Most recently, it was announced that Rife is set to co-star Julia Garner in Netflix’s new series, The Altruists, based on the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
He will also star in The Escort, a comedy film from Wedding Crashers’ Director David Dobkin. It was also recently announced that Rife will be starring, co-writing and producing The Chasm, a feature mockumentary comedy with Skydance Sports which follows an overconfident climber who chooses to proceed solo on a historic and potentially fatal rock climb.

Tickets for the general on sale will be available via Ticketmaster beginning at 10:00am on Friday, November 14th, and will be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, November 15th.
Sir Rod Stewart CBE is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 250 million albums and singles sold worldwide. His signature voice, style, and songwriting have transcended all genres of popular music—from Rock, Soul and R&B to the standards and Big Band Swing—making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums in every decade of his five+ decade career.
Born in North London with Scottish roots, Stewart first made his mark in the 1960s with Long John Baldry, Steampacket, Shotgun Express, and later through seminal work with Jeff Beck and the Faces. He then launched a solo career that produced some of the biggest hits in music history, including “Maggie May,” “Forever Young,” “Rhythm of My Heart,” “Tonight’s the Night,” “I Don’t Want to Talk About It,” “You Wear It Well,” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy.”
The 2000s saw Sir Rod record five acclaimed volumes of his Great American Songbook series, pushing his career into uncharted territory and creating the biggest-selling ongoing series of new music recordings in history. His rekindled love of songwriting continued with the release of four studio albums of original songs beginning with 2013’s Time—a chart-topping record that reached the Top 10 in the U.S. and ten countries worldwide, including number one in the U.K., where it was certified double-platinum. In addition, Stewart revisited some of his greatest hits with You’re in My Heart: Rod Stewart with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. A timeless record which spent three weeks at number one, making it Stewart’s 10th chart-topping album—a milestone in an already remarkable career.
In 2024, Stewart released Swing Fever, his 33rd studio album and a collaboration with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. The sparkling salute to the timeless Big Band era debuted at number one in the U.K., giving Stewart his 11th career chart-topper and placing him alongside David Bowie, Taylor Swift, and U2 on the all-time list of acts with the most number one albums in the U.K.
Stewart’s One Last Time world tour, launched in 2024, is a global box office smash—ranked among the Top 20 Global Concert Tours of 2024—and continues with sold-out shows across North America, Europe, South America, and beyond. In Las Vegas, his record-setting 13-year residency Rod Stewart: The Hits became one of the most successful runs in Caesars Palace history, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans. Due to overwhelming demand, he has returned with The Encore Shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Stewart’s extraordinary catalog includes ten U.K. number one albums, 31 U.K. Top 10 singles, 17 U.S. Top 10 albums, and 16 U.S. Top 10 singles. He has earned countless of the industry’s highest honors and awards including, two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, Grammy™ Living Legend, Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, UK Music Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, New York Times bestselling author, Lifetime Achievement Award, American Music Awards.
