K-pop group TWICE announced the first five North American dates of their 2022 world tour over the weekend. The shows were unveiled in a poster with the details of the upcoming outing, which reveals that the swing will include stops in Los Angeles at the Forum on Feb. 16, the arena in Oakland on Feb. 18, as well as shows in Dallas (Dickies Arena, Feb. 22), Atlanta (State Farm Arena, Feb. 24) and New York (UBS Arena, Feb. 26).

The poster for the group's fourth tour promises that more dates will be announced in the future. The tour was teased at the end of the recent prom-themed video for the English-language single "The Feels," which featured an image of the poster with some key dates. Among the spotlight upcoming events are their sixth anniversary week -- which took place last month -- as well as a tease for their third album, due this month, and the upcoming tour.

The group's latest album, Formula of Love: O + T = <3, topped last week's new music poll. Fans voted in a poll published Friday (Nov. 12) on Billboard, choosing the K-pop girl group's third album as their favorite new music release of the past week. Formula of Love: O + T = <3 brought in nearly 59% of the vote, beating out new music by Taylor Swift (Red (Taylor's Version)), Silk Sonic (An Evening With Silk Sonic), Beyonce, ("Be Alive"), Rosalía featuring The Weeknd ("La Fama”), and others.

The new full-length features TWICE's No. 10-charting Global Excl. U.S. single "The Feels," the act's first effort entirely in English. The set also features new track "Scientist," which sees the nine-piece telling their lovers that there's no need for special equations or chemicals when it comes to true romance.

Kylie Kelce has responded to speculation that she may be expecting another child.

The 34-year-old, who is married to NFL player Jason Kelce, addressed the rumours after followers shared comments beneath photos from her recent trip to Paris.

Speaking on an episode of Not Gonna Lie, she said, "You know what's f***ed up? Commenting on women's bodies. That's it, that's the whole thought. But specifically commenting on the possibility of a pregnancy. I don't know how many times we have to go over this."

Kelce explained that several remarks appeared under her Paris pictures and decided to read some of them aloud. "There were a few of these comments left on the photos from my Paris trip, so I guess people need a reminder." She continued, "'Is it the dress? Or is that a little baby bump?' Oh. Nope, don't worry it gets worse. The next comment said, 'I see a baby bump.' That was confident. ... The next one says, 'She's pregnant????'"

The mother of four quickly dismissed the claims. "I have so many kids that over the last week, I have had three different people forget that I had four kids and thought I had three," she shared. "I have so many kids that one's getting forgotten along the way. ... Stop trying to get me to have more. Stop it."

She made it clear that conversations about expanding her family are "between me, my husband and my motherf***ing uterus." Kelce also spoke openly about the lasting changes to her figure, saying, "It's not necessarily going to go back to the way it was. Even more so, I have organs. And they go in there. ... Am I 100 per cent pre-baby body? No, because that's never happening. And that's OK, because I have made four human beings."

Kylie and Jason Kelce share four daughters: Wyatt, 6, Ellie, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 16 months.
