Below, read on about that clue and others that point to “All Too Well” being the super long Red song that Swift is teasing. The Legendary Old Scarf The scarf emoji in Swift’s recent tweet just might be a very obvious wink at a certain scarf that has taken on a life of its own to Swifties — the one left in a drawer to be immortalized in “All Too Well.” “But you keep my old scarf from that very first week ’cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me,” she sings. “You can’t get rid of it ’cause you remember it all too well.” The 10-Minute Track Length “All Too Well” is the first song Swift wrote for the breakup album Red, and clocking in at just about five-and-a-half minutes, it’s alrea...

Jessie J Breaks Down in Tears While Detailing Her Painful Throat Condition: ‘It’s Been Hard Not Singing’
The “Bang Bang” star added, “It’s literally my life line and my happiness. Being quiet is not something I’m good at. Or makes me feel like myself. Lord knows I’m loud af. It was in that moment I knew I needed to be honest with myself and honest with you all about where I am at and explain what is going on… To be totally real, to have your support and love would help me get through this faster I’m sure.” In December 2020, Jessie was hospitalized after being struck with Meniere’s disease, which left her temporarily deaf and unable to walk.

Taylor Swift Announces Re-Recorded, Expanded Version of Red
Taylor Swift has revealed that Red is the next album to be released as part of her ongoing re-recording series. As expected, it’s called Red (Taylor’s Version) and it’s due out November 19th. When sharing the news online over social media, Swift disclosed that Red (Taylor’s Version) will mark the first time ever than fans will be able to “hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red” when it was originally released in 2012 — but now, of course, re-recorded so that Swift can retain the full rights to her own music. “And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long,” she added. “Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end,” said Swift in a statement. “Happy, free, confused, lone...

Music lovers had some great new releases to dive into this week, including standouts from DaBaby, H.E.R., Tyler, The Creator, and more. Billboard wants to know which one tops your list! This week, Charlotte superstar DaBaby dropped “Ball If I Want To,” his second solo single of 2021 after “Masterpiece.” Clocking in just under two minutes, the raunchy new track is filled with not-so-thinly veiled sexual innuendo, and finds the rapper making his music video directorial debut with a rowdy high school-themed visual.

The R&B star’s debut full-length spans 21 tracks and features appearances by Ty Dolla ...
