By now, I’ve expected almost everyone to have streamed Taylor Swift’s new album: The Tortured Poet’s Department. Thanks to Swifties, and those curious to see if the album was about ex Joe Alwyn or ex Matty Healy (hint: both). TTPD broke Spotify’s streaming record in less than 12 hours. And then, two hours after the

The theories about Taylor Swift‘s new album The Tortured Poets Department are already pouring in and one that’s going viral is that the album is reportedly about The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. Back in early 2023, the two were rumored to be dating after being spotted together in New York City and at Swift’s Eras Tour

Poems on display at Taylor Swift‘s Tortured Poets Department library installation at The Grove in Los Angeles contain a noticeable typo. In one of the lines, the word talisman is seemingly misspelled as “talimans.” “My muses acquired like bruises / My talimans and charms,” the poem reads on an antique-looking sheet of paper from a typewriter.

It makes sense then, that artists with staying power have often toiled away for years before achieving mainstream success. It’s easy to believe that, these days, the music industry values virality

Where did JoJo Siwa‘s “Karma” single really come from? First, rumors circulated that it was an early Miley Cyrus track that was cut from her Can’t Be Tamed album.

I hate to say it, but all good people admit when they’re wrong. After attending Coachella in 2022, I saw a dying franchise desperately trying to retain its grasp on relevancy. With lackluster Californian crowds who only go for the festival name and not the names headlining, outsiders often wonder why artists treat this as

The Black literary tradition is rich and exhaustive, and 20 poems could never hope to scratch its surface. But each one of these poems also contains a world within itself—a refracted look at one’s wounds or visions of new ones or, often, both bound up together in the ways only American poetry can achieve. These

Imagine a film about war. Then, imagine a film about journalists. Somehow, Ex Machina’s Alex Garland fashioned one of the most compelling stories of the year by marrying these unlikely premises. Even more unlikely? He convinced A24 to make an action film. Don’t worry, this is not a souped-up Marvel movie. It’s exactly what you’d

Paul McCartney handled the guitar solos on some of the Beatles‘ most memorable tracks, including “Drive My Car,” “Back in the U.S.S.R.,” “Helter Skelter” and “Taxman.” But he wasn’t always so confident about his playing – in particular during their initial performances. “We had this gig and it was like, the first thing I ever

Grimes was left defeated after dealing with major technical difficulties during her Coachella set.

Breaking news: it’s Friday. So that means we have a whole week’s worth of new music. After Billie Eilish basically broke the internet by announcing a new album this week, everyone’s wondering who else is gearing up to release some future Grammy nominees. My guess? Harry Styles.
