Taylor Swift Announces ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ Video, Directed by Blake Lively: Watch the Teaser
The 10-second teaser for “I Bet You Think About Me” reveals a woman’s hand angrily ripping through a red velvet-filled white wedding cake. The clip links to a countdown page on YouTube, where a video still shows Swift wearing an elaborate red gown while passionately with her band performing beneath a large chandelier. The “From the Vault” track, a free-wheeling and lushly produced jam, is one of nine bonus songs on the just-released Red (Taylor’s Version), the second in Swift’s series of re-recorded albums. Red was originally released in 2012, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In addition to dropping Red (Taylor’s Version) on Friday, Swift also released her All Too Well short film, starring Dylan O’Brien (Maze Runner) and Sad...
‘SNL’ Celebrates Britney Spears’ Freedom in ‘Sesame Street’ Cold Open
The cold open poked fun at Big Bird’s (Andrew Dismukes) reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine. “My feathers fell out, my nuts got huge,” he said. It also made jokes about Borax being used to “cleanse you” from COVID-19, which Bryant’s Cruz used as a segue to introduce “medical expert” Joe Rogan, played by Pete Davidson. “Here’s some Zinc, ayahuasca and horse medicine,” Davidson’s Rogan said. Bryant’s Cruz then went on to explain “CRT,” which is supposed to mean critical race theory, but actually means “caucasian rights trampled,” he said. To discuss it, Bryant invited “Proud Boys” Bert and Ernie, who are engaged, though Bryant’s Cruz said their respective girlfriends were very happy with them. And of course, it wouldn’t be a Sesame Street parody without Oscar the Grouch, but this time he was Os...
Taylor Swift Performs 10-Minute Version of “All Too Well” on SNL: Watch
This week in her quest for world domination, Taylor Swift released her long-anticipated re-recording of Red, the 2012 album that helped cement her transition from country-pop singer-songwriter to complete pop superstar. Over the weekend, she took to Saturday Night Live to perform the 10-minute version of the fan favorite song “All Too Well.” “All Too Well” immediately became known upon Red’s release as some of the best of Swift’s storytelling. Its tale of heartbreak — written in the aftermath of her breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal — is rife with imagery of romantic trips upstate and “casually cruel” phone calls once the romance burned out. Written on the fly as a sort of soundcheck rant, the track’s original 10-minute minute version has been spoken of in hushed, reverent tones in fan cir...

Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify Top Songs playlist. For our favorite new songs from emerging artists, check out our Spotify New Sounds playlist. This week, Taylor Swift takes us down an emotional path that we know all too well. There’s no denying that “All Too Well” has always been the broken heart and mended soul of Taylor Swift’s Red. The song became an instant fan favorite when the album was released back in 2012 — its flashbacks of a romantic trip upstate with a lost love crystallized in amber and wrapped in a long-lost scarf, tucked away in a drawer for safekeeping. But in the months and years following the album’s release, whispered rumors began circulating within the annals of...
#BritneyIsFree: Judge Terminates Britney Spears’ Conservatorship
At last, Britney Spears is a free woman. On Friday (November 12th), Judge Brenda Penny formally terminated the singer’s conservatorship, ending a 13-year period in which every aspect of Spears’ life and career was controlled by her father. “The court finds and determines that the conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is no longer required,” Los Angeles County Judge Penny said during the hearing. “Effective today… the conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is hereby terminated.” The decision came after her father, Jamie Spears, agreed to step down as conservator and petitioned the court to end his daughter’s conservatorship amid mounting pressure and public outcry. Judge Penny suspended Jamie as conservator during a hearing in late Septembe...

Taylor Swift Unveils All Too Well: The Short Film: Watch
Now that we’ve all finished wiping our tears from listening to Taylor Swift‘s new 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” the waterworks are starting right back up again with the accompanying short film, which is out now. Starring Sadie Sink (of Stranger Things fame) as Her and teen-heartthrob-who-has-somehow-turned-30 Dylan O’Brien as Him, All Too Well: The Short Film was written and directed by Swift, who also makes an appearance. All Too Well was shot on 35mm film by cinematographer Rina Yang, whose resume includes music videos by Dua Lipa, FKA Twigs, Zara Larsson, and Porches. Opening with a Pablo Neruda quote, the short offers up, narrative-wise, a relatively literal interpretation of the song’s narrative beats, while also delivering a dreamy, Instagram-ready glimpse ...
