Taylor Swift Endorses a ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ Film Starring Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds
Will Taylor Swift‘s “The Last Great American Dynasty” ever head to the big screen? Well, the casting director would have a head start on their job since Swift has already co-signed on the potential stars of the film. “The Last a Great American Dynasty would make an incredible movie,” Twitter user @TSlifestyle13 suggested earlier this week about the Folklore tune, written about Rebekah Harkness, the Rhode Island socialite who once owned Taylor Swift’s Watch Hill home. “The story is timeless yet unique, the music would be exquisite, and it already has the perfect title. As for the cast: Blake Lively (Rebekah), Ryan Reynolds (Bill), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (neighbor).” To his surprise, that tweet turned into an availability check for the all-s...
Song of the Week: James Blake Comforts Listeners with Frank Ocean’s “Godspeed”
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 New Sounds playlist. Cover songs often get a lot of shade thrown at them. That’s nothing new. Don’t we all get at least a little skeptical (and disappointed) when one of our favorite artists announces a covers album or drops a cover instead of an original single? While we may dig the song, it tends to feel like we’re being re-gifted something, and part of us might even suspect that the artist is holding out on us or, worse yet, has nothing else on creative tap. Of course, how quickly we forget that some of the best songs in our collective canon are cover versions and that all musicians (from The Beatles to those assholes who “practice” in your neighbor...
Which Song Should Miley Cyrus Cover Next? Vote!
Queen of Covers Miley Cyrus struck again Thursday night (Sept. 10) when she took on Hall & Oates‘ “Maneater” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. But what should be next? During her late-night show appearance, Cyrus revealed she got Stevie Nicks‘ blessing to interpolate “Edge of Seventeen” for her latest hit “Midnight Sky,” but maybe she should perform the original Fleetwood Mac singer’s 1981 solo sensation. She also feels blessed to have worked with The Flaming Lips on several collaborations and her 2015 studio album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, which the rockers are credited as producers. She shared her top 10 list of Flaming Lips’ hits to Rolling Stone back in 2014, so ...
Snoopy, Batman, ARMY & More: BTS Break Down Their Style Heroes
Aside from their infectious songs, BTS is also known for their impeccable style. In a new interview with GQ, the septet revealed who their biggest style heroes are–and those who inspired them are pretty diverse. While Jungkook takes style notes from bandmate RM, RM from painters Whanki Kim and Hyong Keun Yun and V from his father, J-Hope shared a more unusual source for inspiration: The beloved dog Snoopy from the Peanuts series. “He gives me a fun way to express myself,” he said. “I own Snoopy clothes and pajamas. I think you should try everything you want. That way, you get to understand what works and doesn’t work for you and this will build your own style.” Jin agreed with that sentiment, crowning himself as his biggest style hero...

Madonna’s Auto-Biopic Includes ‘Like a Prayer,’ ‘Devastating Experience With Pepsi’ & How She Met ‘Vogue’ Dancers
Madame X is adding auto-biopic screenplay writer to her long list of titles, as the pop icon shared details about the movie telling her life story during an Instagram Live Thursday night (Sept. 10). Oscar-winning Juno writer Diablo Cody has been accompanying Madonna in her quarantine hobby for the past few months, which they teased also involves Oscar-nominated Little Women producer Amy Pascal. Although the pair have yet to settle on a title for the project, Madame confirmed they’ve already written 107 pages of the script, which they said will likely translate to a two-hour film. “So it’s kind of like a form of therapy. And sometimes I get confused and forget that I’m writing about me, and I start to refer to me as ‘she.’ That...
Miley Cyrus Talks Getting Stevie Nicks’ Blessing, Covers ‘Maneater’ as Warning to ‘Future Ex-Husband’
Miley Cyrus owned Thursday night’s (Sept. 10) Tonight Show, performing two entrancing songs and chatting with host Jimmy Fallon from her eye-popping, colorful Peter Shire-designed “throne” (named “Giza”), while wearing a sharp-shouldered, multi-colored jumpsuit that would have made David Bowie jealous. When Fallon asked about the sly “Edge of Seventeen” sample in Miley’s “Midnight Sky” single, Cyrus, of course, had an amazing story about how she sent Stevie Nicks the song and asked for her blessing to use the snippet of the Fleetwood Mac singer’s 1981 solo hit. “I said, ‘I have an alternate melody if you don’t want to kind of like pay tribute to you and your greatness and how much you’ve inspired me,'...

Sia and David Guetta Reteam for New Single “Let’s Love”: Stream
David Guetta and Sia are no strangers to a powerhouse electronic pop collaboration. After a string of chart-topping hits like “Flames”, “She Wolf (Falling to Pieces”, and the ubiquitous “Titanium”, the pair are back together for a 2020 anthem called “Let’s Love”. With a slapping ’80s beat that’s a few electronic note removed from Sing Street, the uplifting track is meant as a counterweight to the negativity that’s overwhelmed this year. “This too shall pass/ We’ll get through it all together,” Sia reassures on the hook. “I love producing club tracks but at the same time, especially now, I feel like creating ‘feel-good’ music,” Guetta said in a press statement. “‘Let’s Love’ is a message of love, hope and bringing people together and once again, Sia has out done herself on the vocals.” Orig...
