Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> had the entertainer living life on the road on an arena tour across North America and Europe that resumes this October (perhaps with a set list refresh incorporating tracks from Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em>, out Aug. 29).<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Man\u2019s Best Friend<\/em> promo saw a brief interruption Saturday (Aug. 23) when the pop star penned a note on Instagram giving Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> one more minute to shine.
