Taylor Swift’s Grammys Performance Concept Is ‘Brilliant and Beautiful,’ Says Executive Producer
Previously, Swift — who is nominated for six awards at this year’s ceremony, including album of the year — confirmed that her performance for the Grammys includes collaborators Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, but she didn’t spill any of the other “highly confidential” details. She said the trio have been quarantining in the same house for the past week and have been tested each day. “You know, we’ve only gotten to be together in the same room once,” she pointed out of their experience creating new music together during a pandemic. “And so, this is really awesome to get to be together with them again.” See the interview clip with Winston on ET, and watch the 2021 Grammy Awards on Sunday (March 14) at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on C...
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez Announce They’re Not Breaking Up
The couple got engaged in March 2019 after about two years of dating. News of their breakup was first reported by Page Six on Friday (March 12) and later posted by the Associated Press. Neither star had publicly commented on social media at press time. The 51-year-old singer and actress is currently filming the movie Shotgun Wedding in the Dominican Republic, where she posted a photo of herself cozying up to Rodriguez, 45, in late February.

Latina Power on Spotify: Cardi B, Kali Uchis & Karol G Among Top Female Acts This Week
This may be the first time in recent memory that so many Latin female artists place so high simultaneously on the chart. The placement is particularly notable for Shakira, Kali Uchis and Karol G, who sing predominantly in Spanish. Shakira, a mainstay in the upper echelons of all charts, saw her positioning boosted by the continuous success of “Girl Like Me,” her collab with The Black Eyed Peas, which placed at No. 38 on this week’s Spotify 200 chart. On her end, Karol G has three songs on the Spotify 200 — “Bichota,” “Location” and “Tusa.”And Kali Uchi’s success comes on the heels of her surprising hit single “Telepatía,” which placed at a stunning No. 3 on this week’s Spotify 200 chart.

Song of the Week: Lucy Dacus Delivers a Wrenching Ballad with “Thumbs”
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, Lucy Dacus delivered a wrenching ballad that left all of us speechless. Some songs end and sit in the pit of your stomach for the rest of the day, so visceral and affecting that they can’t be shaken. Lucy Dacus’ raw, devastating new release, “Thumbs”, is such a song, offering a gothic revenge fantasy that lingers long after the four and a half minutes have passed. Extremely minimal in production, “Thumbs” is also nearly formless, unfolding more like a whispered secret, twilight confession, or piece of local mythos than traditional...
Selena Gomez Unveils New Revelación EP: Stream
Selena Gomez has unveiled her first Spanish-language record, the Revelación EP. Stream it below using Apple Music or Spotify. Her first studio release since 2020’s Rare, Revelación is a pop and reggaeton project that features DJ Snake, Rauw Alejandro, and Myke Towers. According to Gomez, this celebration of her Mexican heritage may never have come together if not for the coronavirus pandemic. The singer has long struggled with anxiety and depression, and in 2015 she was diagnosed with lupus, a condition that required chemotherapy and a kidney transplant. When she wasn’t feeling sick, she felt pressure to keep working, and as she explained in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the enforced rest of quarantine caused a shift in her perspective. She said, “The Spanish reco...

Freya Ridings Bares Her Soul For Stirring Cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Drivers License’: Watch
Freya Ridings put her own soulful spin on Olivia Rodrigo’s No. 1 smash “Drivers License” on Thursday (March 11). Filmed at The Pool Studios in London, where she previously filmed performances of her own songs “Elephant” and “Castle,” Ridings took her seat by the piano and let her low, wavering vocals take hold of the ballad. Like Rodrigo, the English singer-songwriter got none other than Taylor Swift‘s approval when she performed a slowed-down, soulful cover of “Me!” from her 2019 album Lover at BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge in July 2019. Swift reposted the clip on her Instagram Story, writing, “This cover is incredible!! Shout out to the amazing musicians/vocalists too, this made my day!” You Deserve ...

Nasri Almost Gave Up Writing for Other Artists. Now He’s Reintroducing Himself
So he hired Slaiby as his manager, then forged ahead writing for a growing network of superstars like John Legend and Gwen Stefani — and getting Grammy attention for his work with some of R&B’s coolest acts. Late last year, he earned a best R&B song nod for co-writing Skip Marley and H.E.R.’s chart-topping “Slow Down,” and he also contributed to Chloe x Halle’s Ungodly Hour, which is up for best progressive R&B album. A self-proclaimed “blue-collar songwriter,” Atweh sees the recognition as a helpful reintroduction: “With the Grammys, it’s like, ‘Does anybody new want to talk to me? Has there been anyone who has been hesitant to take a song who might not be hesitant now?’ ” His chill studio presence — Atweh likens his role to “songwriter and party host” and is fond of preg...
For Devonté Hynes, His First Grammy Nom — For Classical Music — ‘Feels Like Doors Opening’
There were times I wondered, “Is this a little too crazy?” I was trying to see what I could get away with. And they were more than able to do it and to add their own thing to it. I’d say to them, “If you want to try this any way you want to do it, go ahead! I’m curious to see what shape it can take.” They’re incredibly intuitive, so in sync with each other. It was very motivating. I was reading recently about Gershwin and his hangup about not necessarily being the most advanced in terms of music theory and education, which is something I definitely relate to. I’m not at conservatory level. The fact that this nomination is within the compositional, classical world — it takes on a different connotation in my mind. It feels like doors opening, whether that’s for me personally or for other peo...
