Celebrities shining the spotlight on fellow celebrities is like finding a silver lining at any concert. Just as Taylor Swift‘s Eras boasted an endless parade of stars, the Renaissance Tour was no exception. The star-studded lineup included the likes of Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, and Meghan Markle, making it an absolute delight for fans. Amidst this, Wanda Sykes revealed what fueled her motivation to witness the tour. It was none other than the old classic FOMO that got her dancing to the ‘Runnin’ singer’s tunes.

During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Sykes revealed how her wife and her buddies were all geared up to hit the concert in LA. She was determined not to be the odd one out, the only black woman to have missed out on witnessing this spectacular event. When questioned about her decision to attend, Sykes quipped, “Stuff like that keeps you out of heaven”. In line with the ‘Lemonade’ singer’s request for all concert-goers to dazzle in silver, Sykes also arrived at the event decked out entirely in shimmering silver.

Last month brought a musical feast for fans, with Taylor Swift and Beyoncé lighting up the stage. While Swift’s devotees awaited her return, they savored Queen Bey’s electrifying tour across the United States and Canada. Surprisingly, even the Kardashian clan joined the musical parade, dancing to the rhythm. On a memorable September 4th, Kim Kardashian, daughter North West, and other family members enjoyed Beyoncé’s mesmerizing ‘Single Ladies’ performance.

Yet, Kourtney Kardashian was notably absent. Days later, the reason surfaced. The 44-year-old, married to Blink-182’s drummer Travis Barker, is expecting her fourth child. Barker canceled parts of his European tour for an undisclosed “urgent matter“. Hours later, Kourtney Kardashian shared her story thanking her medical team and announcing fetal surgery. This heartfelt tale highlighted her husband’s unwavering support and newfound empathy for mothers facing pregnancy challenges.
