The Billboard Family Hits of the Week compiles what’s new and worth your family’s time in music, movies, TV, books, games and more. Forget the mind-numbing scrolling and searching “what to watch for family movie night” … again. The best in family entertainment each week is all in one place, in this handy guide. Isn’t it satisfying to cross something off your list?
Friday-Sunday (Nov. 1-3) mark the last weekend of The Eras Tour in the United States, with Taylor Swift performing three concerts in Indianapolis. It’s not the end of Swift’s tour, but it’s getting close to it — she’s got just two more cities on her schedule, Toronto and Vancouver, Canada, before it’s officially a wrap. Will Swift do something special in Indiana to commemorate the American finale? Whether you’re at the show or following along online, any Eras happenings will be a pop culture conversation for young and old. Billboard will have all the updates.
In movies to watch at home this week, there’s a gem newly streaming on Max (and coming to HBO) that might interest parents and introspective older kids: Janet Planet, written and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker and starring Julianne Nicholson. An unhurried sketch of a mother and daughter in the ’90s, it masterfully depicts the way summers can be long and quiet, yet transformative, at 11 years old, around the time you start seeing your parent(s) in a different light.
Also geared more toward families with teens, but with pop melodies to entertain all, on Saturday night Chappell Roan takes the stage as musical guest on SNL. The John Mulaney-hosted episode will be the “Good Luck, Babe!” hitmaker’s debut on the show.
