She’s given us 31 new songs across the standard edition and its companion piece The Anthology, and here are five that got everyone talking.
“So Long, London”
Taylor Swift’s “track five” songs always offered a window into her soul, and “So Long, London” truly pulled at our heartstrings, while sparking many speculations about the fallout of her relationship with Joe Alwyn.
“Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”
In addition to being one of the best songs on Swift’s new album, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” has given us the line “You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me”, which quickly became a viral meme.
“But Daddy I Love Him”
“But Daddy I Love Him” is one of Tortured Poets’ biggest storytelling gems, so it’s certainly given Swifties a lot to digest – especially since it directly criticizes their obsession with the singer’s personal life.
“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”
Tortured Poets has given us many vindictive lines, but “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” is certainly its best diss track, and fans are convinced it’s addressed to Matty Healy.
“thank you AIMee”
“thank you AIMee” is one of the buzziest songs from The Anthology, and it became a viral sensation because fans are convinced that the school bully figure from its title is a reference to Kim Kardashian.

The Chiefs’ Victory
This year’s Super Bowl was only the second in history to go into overtime. The Chiefs eventually managed to score a narrow win against the San Francisco 49ers, lifting their second consecutive Super Bowl trophy.
A-List Guests
Many A-list stars attended this year’s Super Bowl, but all eyes were on Taylor Swift and her guests Ice Spice, Blake Lively, and Lana Del Rey.
Usher’s Halftime Show
Super Bowl wouldn’t be the same without an amazing halftime show, and Usher pulled all the stops with the medley of his biggest hits alongside several special guests.
Movie Trailers
Trailers for some of the most anticipated movies of the year debuted at the Super Bowl. The Deadpool & Wolverine teaser created most buzz, along with trailers for Wicked and Twisters.
Beyoncé’s Verizon Commercial
Star-studded commercials and the Super Bowl go hand in hand, but none of them created more buzz than Beyoncé’s Verizon ad, especially after she teased her next album Renaissance Act II just minutes later.

From the glittering red carpets to casual streetwear, Swift showcased versatility, elegance, and a touch of daring in her wardrobe selections this year. Here are some of her best looks from 2023.
Roberto Cavalli’s Midnight Blue Ensemble at the Grammys
Kicking off the year in impeccable style, Swift graced the Grammys in a stunning midnight blue outfit by Roberto Cavalli. The hand-cut silk crop top paired flawlessly with a high-waisted, mermaid-style skirt adorned with shimmering silver Swarovski crystals. The ensemble resembled an explosion of stars, accentuating Swift’s radiant presence on the red carpet.
Versace’s Eras Tour Bodysuit and Gown Selections
It’s hard to pick just one look from the Era’s tour because everything she does is so spectacular. But this one was a true hit. Swift took the stage for her Eras Tour in a dazzling, corseted bodysuit crafted by Versace. Adorned with a vibrant mix of beads and crystals, fans couldn’t get enough.
Versace’s Asymmetrical VMAs Dress
At the MTV Video Music Awards, Swift made a bold statement in a custom Versace asymmetrical dress. The dress featured gold hardware straps and a thigh-high slit. A strong look to say the least.

]]>Taylor Swift’s recent Era’s Tour is breaking all kinds of records and the logistics involved are pretty mind-boggling. After a five-year break, we didn’t expect anything short of spectacular for her return to the stage. So what does it take to pull off the biggest music tour in history?
Well first off, her stage is the size of a football stadium that has to be moved around with every show. But the genius thing that Taylor did was create two stages and two teams for her tour. So when she’s performing in say, Texas, there’s a second stage being set up in, for example, Florida. When she’s done with her shows in Texas, she can fly out straight to Florida and hop on an already-ready stage. Meanwhile, the Texas crew will start packing and moving again. So seamless, so smart.
The cost of the logistics for her tour is a staggering $30 million, so that’s about half a million a week. But even more impressive is Taylor’s heart for the people who are helping her make this happen. Back in the summer, Taylor gave a $100,000 bonus to all her truck drivers.
Taylor is an amazing boss not only on stage but also on her team!

]]>After a lot of anticipation, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) finally hit the shelves last week, and its “from the vault” tracks are truly top-tier. It took almost ten years for Taylor Swift to share these songs with the world, and we’re here to help you pick your favorite.
5. “Sl-t!”
Swift’s fans have long joked that she has a poor choice of singles, and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) proves the point. “Sl-t!” does a great job capturing the media scrutiny Swift was facing when the original album came out, but it’s still the weakest “from the vault” track.
4. “Suburban Legends”
With “Suburban Legends”, Swift does a great job painting a vivid picture of a young love that once carried a lot of weight, and its lyrics are its strongest suit.
3. “Now That We Don’t Talk”
“Now That We Don’t Talk” is the shortest “from the vault” track on the album, but at 2:26 it’s just long enough to brilliantly capture the aftermath of the failed relationship.
2. “Is It Over Now?”
“Is It Over Now?” will be challenging Swift’s own “Cruel Summer” for No. 1 next week after emerging as the most popular new song from 1989 (Taylor’s Version)—and deservedly so.
1. “Say Don’t Go”
“Say Don’t Go” is one of those songs that makes you wonder how Swift resisted not sharing it with the world for so long. She co-wrote it with Diane Warren and its catchy hook and heartfelt lyrics make it a true standout of 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

]]>After a lot of anticipation, Taylor Swift’s concert film The Eras Tour finally hit the theaters last week to rave reviews and record-breaking box office numbers. Swifties around the world were head over heels to finally see it on the big screen, but they were disappointed by one aspect of the film—the songs that didn’t make the final cut.
Since The Eras Tour covers 10 albums of Swift’s illustrious career, its tracklist is pretty long, but not as long as her full discography. The singer’s fans would like to hear all of their favorite songs in The Eras Tour, but some of them simply couldn’t fit into its 169-minute runtime.
The Eras Tour was filmed during Swift’s concerts at Los Angeles’ So-Fi Stadium on August 3-5, and seven songs she performed along the way didn’t make it to the film. The eagle-eyed fans noticed she omitted, “The Archer”, “‘Tis the Damn Season”, “No Body, No Crime”, “Long Live”, “Seven (Interlude)”, and most shockingly “Cardigan”, the lead single for her eighth studio album Folklore.
Leaving these songs out didn’t stop The Eras Tour from taking the theatres by storm. The concert film was praised by the critics for doing a great job capturing the show’s spectacle and energy, and it grossed $129 million so far, including $100 million in pre-sales alone!

“I’m Just Pete”
Barbie gave us one of its most popular songs with “I’m Just Ken” and Pete Davidson couldn’t resist filming his own parody, poking fun at this reputation and the trajectory of his career after he left SNL behind.
Pete Davidson Stand-Up Monologue
Pete Davidson never had any trouble making waves with his stand-up performances, and he brought his signature brand of humor to his monologue.
Fox NFL Sunday
With the NFL season in full swing, it’s not a shocker to see SNL doing a parody of Fox’s media coverage. One thing that took us by surprise was Travis Kelce making a surprise cameo to address the excessive coverage of his rumored girlfriend Taylor Swift attending the Kansas City Chiefs’ games.
Taylor Swift’s Cameo
Travis Kelce’s cameo wasn’t the only one to go viral on social media following the SNL season premiere. Taylor Swift also popped up for a brief moment to announce the performance of her “Karma” collaborator Ice Spice.

Drake – For All the Dogs (October 8)
Drake created a lot of buzz for his new album with the chart-topping viral hit “Slime You Out” ft. SZA, and it’s safe to assume he’s got another No. 1 record on his hands.
Tomorrow X Together – The Name Chapter: Freefall (October 13)
After kicking the year off with their chart-topping EP The Name Chapter: Temptation, the K-pop bad Tomorrow X Together will continue their world domination with The Name Chapter: Freefall.

After five years in the making, Troye Sivan’s third studio album is just around the corner and he’s given us the taste of things to come with catchy bops “Rush” and “Got Me Started”.
The Rolling Stones – Hackney Diamonds (October 20)
It took almost two decades for The Rolling Stones to announce an album of new material Hackney Diamonds. Judging by the first two singles “Angry” and “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” ft. Lady Gaga, it was worth waiting for!
Taylor Swift – 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (October 27)
Taylor Swift’ seminal album 1989 produced some of her biggest hits to date, and its re-recorded version is just around the corner—with five brand-new “from the vault” tracks.

The Grammy-winning artist announced the release of the concert film themed around The Eras Tour last week, and here’s everything you should know about this project.
Swift’s Announcement
Swift took to social media last week to announce the concert film inspired by The Eras Tour and described it as the most meaningful, electric experience of her life so far. This project was filmed during three shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California back in August.
Where & When To See It?
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour will be released on October 13, and it will be distributed by AMC Theatres in the United States, Canada, and Mexico for four consecutive weekends.
Unconventional Release Model
Swift embraced a pretty unconventional approach when striking an unprecedented distribution deal directly with AMC. She made an unusual move to directly approach AMC and bypass traditional studios, forcing some of them to move the release dates of several filmms they were planning to release on October 13.
Box Office Projections
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour grossed over $37 million in first-day pre-sale revenue across the U.S. alone and experts are projecting it could earn $100 million during its opening weekend, setting an all-time record for a concert film.
