Madison Beer, the 26-year-old pop sensation known for hits like "Make You Mine," recently took to Instagram to express her gratitude to fans and tease her next big project.
"Thank you so very much to anyone who listened to my music this year, it really does mean the world, and I am very excited for my new album + lots more music next year," she wrote in a heartfelt post.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of her revealing the full tracklist for her third studio album, Locket, set to drop on January 16, 2026, via Epic Records.
The album features 11 tracks that promise a deeply personal touch: "Locket Theme," "Yes Baby," "Angel Wings," "For the Night," "Bad Enough," "Healthy Habit," "You’re Still Everything," "Bittersweet," "Complexity," "Make You Mine," and "Nothing at All."
Beer shared the tracklist in a dreamy teaser video on Instagram, complete with a blue aesthetic and cursive fonts, captioning it "Locket tracklist 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽 1.16 ♡."
Speaking about the inspiration behind Locket, Beer explained during an appearance on The Travis Mills Show that the concept emerged organically from her life experiences.
"I don’t know why but my brain calls the shots, and I’m just a passenger, so I was like ok, I’m going to think of things and I wrote down a list of things that felt like they were part of my life naturally," she said.
The locket theme symbolizes cherished memories and sentimental value, which Beer even embodied by wearing a locket necklace during the interview.
This marks her first full-length release since 2023's Silence Between Songs, and fans are already buzzing about the emotional depth hinted in the titles.
Meanwhile, on the gridiron, Justin Herbert is pushing through adversity as the Chargers fight for a spot in the AFC playoffs.
The 27-year-old quarterback suffered a fracture in his non-throwing (left) hand during Week 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Despite undergoing surgery earlier this week, Herbert is listed as questionable but is expected to suit up for Monday night's crucial matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
He returned to finish the Raiders game wearing a glove on his injured hand, showcasing his toughness—a trait that has endeared him to fans and teammates alike.
The couple's worlds have intertwined publicly since October 2025, when they confirmed their romance with a viral sideline kiss at a Chargers game against the Washington Commanders.
Beer has been a steadfast supporter, attending multiple games, including a recent one where she hosted a birthday celebration for her mother, Tracie Beer, in a SoFi Stadium suite during the Chargers' 31-14 victory over the Raiders.
Tracie shared glimpses of the event on Instagram, featuring cupcakes, candles, and a group rendition of "Happy Birthday," highlighting how the relationship is growing more integrated with family.
As Beer prepares for her album launch and Herbert battles through the final stretch of the NFL season, the pair continues to capture attention both on and off the spotlight.
With Locket poised to be one of early 2026's most anticipated releases and the Chargers eyeing postseason glory, 2025 is ending on a high note for this power couple.
