Taylor Swift’s new albums are always worth waiting for, and she rocked our world with The Tortured Poets Department. The Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight” was released as its lead single, and its music video is one wild descent into madness.

Just like the majority of Swift’s music videos in recent years, this one was directed by the singer herself, and she described it as the perfect visual representation of the entire album.

“When I was writing the ‘Fortnight’ music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music. Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another,” she wrote on Instagram.

Swift is joined by Post Malone, who plays her love interest, a co-worker at a dystopian office where they use old-fashioned typewriters, and one of the doctors at the insane asylum where Swift is held against her will. Dead Poets Society co-stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles also make a cameo as two of the doctors doing experiments on Swift.

The “Fortnight” music video accompanied the release of Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19. It’s one of 16 songs featured on its standard edition, but Swift also released an additional 15 tracks as a part of its companion piece The Anthology.

Just when we thought that award season was long behind us, the iHeartRadio Music Awards returned to LA to celebrate the best music of the past year on Monday night. Taylor Swift led the way with six wins, but she was closely followed by SZA, who collected the coveted song of the year award.

2023 was definitely the year of Taylor Swift, so it wasn’t a shocker to see her named artist of the year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, beating the likes of SZA, Drake, Miley Cyrus, and Olivia Rodrigo, among others.

She came into the night with a total of nine nods and eventually collected six awards, including pop artist of the year, best lyrics for “Is It Over Now?”, TikTok bop of the year for “Cruel Summer”, plus tour of the year and favorite tour style for The Eras Tour.

SZA was also one of the ceremony’s top winners with four accolades, starting with the song of the year for her chart-topping hit “Kill Bill”. She was also named the R&B artist of the year, in addition to winning R&B album of the year for SOS and R&B song of the year for “Snooze”.

2023 has been the year of Taylor Swift, and she’s ending it in the best way possible! After breaking records left and right all year long, the Grammy-winning singer topped the final Billboard 200 chart of 2023 with her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

1989 (Taylor’s Version) debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart following its release and returned to No. 1 two more times, but its reign is far from over. This album topped the Billboard 200 with 136,000 equivalent album units, becoming the final album of 2023 to do so.

This marks the fourth non-consecutive week 1989 (Taylor’s Version) spent at No. 1, and it’s in pretty good company. Swift’s former No. 1 albums Midnights and Lover also made it to the top ten this week, along with several holiday records, including Michael Bublé’s Christmas at No. 4, Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song at No. 8 and Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas at No. 10.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) helped Swift clock in her 67th week atop the Billboard 200 across 13 chart-topping albums, tying the record previously held by Elvis Presley for most weeks spent at No. 1 among solo artists. The Beatles still hold the all-time record, with 132 weeks atop the US Billboard 200 chart.

2023 has been a career-defining year for both Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift, and they’re getting ready to end it on a high note. The Billboard Music Awards winners have been announced, and Wallen and Swift managed to come out victorious in most major categories.

The country star Morgan Wallen emerged as the winner in 11 categories, including the top male artist. He owes his success at this year’s BBMAs to his album One Thing at the Time and its biggest hit “Last Night”, which won the top Billboard 200 album and top Hot 100 song, respectively, in addition to several more accolades.

As for Swift, she managed to walk away with 10 awards, starting with the night’s main award for the top artist. She defeated the likes of Drake, Wallen, SZA, and Luke Combs to win this award, and brought her career total to a record-breaking 39 BBMAs.

To make the whole thing even better, Drake tied her record for most Billboard Music Awards won by a single artist. His total currently stands at 39 BBMAs, as well, after he won five awards this year. SZA and Zach Bryan were right behind with four wins each, followed by 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, and Miley Cyrus with three apiece.

It’s Taylor Swift’s world, and we’re just living in it! The pop superstar came into this year’s MTV VMAs as the most nominated artist with eleven nods, and managed to take a whopping nine awards home on Tuesday night – including the coveted video of the year with “Anti-Hero”.

“Anti-Hero” was also named song of the year and best pop song, in addition to coming out victorious in several technical categories. Swift also won trophies for artist of the year, show of the summer with The Eras Tour, and album of the year with Midnights – which she announced while winning video of the year with “All Too Well” just last year.

“It’s really felt like the adventure of a lifetime this past year. I cannot believe that it was a year ago at the VMAs that I announced the Midnights album. And all I have to say tonight is thank you. I’m blown away. Thank you so much to the fans. I love you so much,” said Swift in her acceptance speech.

Taylor Swift has been touring for the past two months, but the sold-out concerts aren’t the only things keeping her busy. Shortly after announcing her first international dates for The Eras Tour, Swift returned to No. 1 with Midnights after dropping two deluxe editions of her latest studio album.

The release of The Til Dawn Edition and The Late Night Edition on May 26 propelled Midnights back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 282,000 equivalent album units sold. She finally managed to knock down Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time from the top of the summit, after the country star spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1.

The deluxe editions of Midnights benefited from the release of several new songs that weren’t featured on the original album or its 3 am Edition, including “Hits Different”, “You’re Losing Me”, the “Karma” remix featuring Ice Spice, and “Snow on the Beach” with more Lana Del Rey.

The success of new editions of Midnights comes just a few days after Swift announced she’s ready to take The Eras Tour worldwide. She’s currently busy touring across the US, but the new round of dates includes the first international concerts in Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil.

Taylor Swift has been pretty busy recording new versions of her old albums in recent years, and another one is on the way. She’ll release Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) this summer, and this album will feature six “from the vault” songs that we’ve never heard before.

Swift shared the amazing news with a touching post on social media, accompanied by a photo in a purple dress—a clear nod to the original Speak Now cover. She explained that she always considered this album as “her album” and looked back at the time when she wrote it.

“I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions, and wild wistfulness,” she wrote on social media.

Swift’s fans were speculating that Speak Now would be released as her next re-recording ever since she dropped a new version of “If This Was a Movie”. This will be one of 22 songs on this album, including six “from the vault” tracks that were written for Speak Now but never released.

Swift teased the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) during a recent show in Nashville before confirming it would hit the shelves on July 7.

We can count on Taylor Swift to create some major buzz with each new album and her latest LP Midnights certainly didn’t disappoint. She broke the internet once again with the release of her new record and here are five songs that got everyone talking.

“Lavender Haze”

“Lavender Haze” invited Swift’s fans to her Midnights era and many of them are describing it as her very best opener and wishing she would open the tour with this song, as well.

“Anti-Hero”

The album’s lead single “Anti-Hero” knocked it out of the park with its relatable lyrics, but fans also couldn’t stop discussing its hilarious music video and the origin of the puzzling “sometimes I feel like everybody is a s–y baby” line.

“Vigilante S—t”

Swifties had a feeling that “Vigilante S—t” will be an epic bop ever since the singer announced its title and what she delivered is another amazing revenge anthem.

“High Infidelity”

If you’ve seen countless viral tweets trying to figure out where Taylor Swift was on April 29th, it turns out one line from this song is to blame for them.

“Snow on the Beach” ft. Lana Del Rey

“Snow on the Beach” is the only collaboration on Midnights, but most fans were left a little bit puzzled by this song because they could barely hear Lana Del Rey’s vocals.

Taylor Swift’s new albums are always worth waiting for, and she rocked our world with The Tortured Poets Department. The Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight” was released as its lead single, and its music video is one wild descent into madness.

Just like the majority of Swift’s music videos in recent years, this one was directed by the singer herself, and she described it as the perfect visual representation of the entire album.

“When I was writing the ‘Fortnight’ music video, I wanted to show you the worlds I saw in my head that served as the backdrop for making this music. Pretty much everything in it is a metaphor or a reference to one corner of the album or another,” she wrote on Instagram.

Swift is joined by Post Malone, who plays her love interest, a co-worker at a dystopian office where they use old-fashioned typewriters, and one of the doctors at the insane asylum where Swift is held against her will. Dead Poets Society co-stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles also make a cameo as two of the doctors doing experiments on Swift.

The “Fortnight” music video accompanied the release of Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department on April 19. It’s one of 16 songs featured on its standard edition, but Swift also released an additional 15 tracks as a part of its companion piece The Anthology.

Just when we thought that award season was long behind us, the iHeartRadio Music Awards returned to LA to celebrate the best music of the past year on Monday night. Taylor Swift led the way with six wins, but she was closely followed by SZA, who collected the coveted song of the year award.

2023 was definitely the year of Taylor Swift, so it wasn’t a shocker to see her named artist of the year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, beating the likes of SZA, Drake, Miley Cyrus, and Olivia Rodrigo, among others.

She came into the night with a total of nine nods and eventually collected six awards, including pop artist of the year, best lyrics for “Is It Over Now?”, TikTok bop of the year for “Cruel Summer”, plus tour of the year and favorite tour style for The Eras Tour.

SZA was also one of the ceremony’s top winners with four accolades, starting with the song of the year for her chart-topping hit “Kill Bill”. She was also named the R&B artist of the year, in addition to winning R&B album of the year for SOS and R&B song of the year for “Snooze”.

Midnights was crowned the album of the year winner at this year’s Grammys, transforming Swift into the first solo artist to win this award four times.

2023 has been the year of Taylor Swift, and she’s ending it in the best way possible! After breaking records left and right all year long, the Grammy-winning singer topped the final Billboard 200 chart of 2023 with her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

1989 (Taylor’s Version) debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart following its release and returned to No. 1 two more times, but its reign is far from over. This album topped the Billboard 200 with 136,000 equivalent album units, becoming the final album of 2023 to do so.

This marks the fourth non-consecutive week 1989 (Taylor’s Version) spent at No. 1, and it’s in pretty good company. Swift’s former No. 1 albums Midnights and Lover also made it to the top ten this week, along with several holiday records, including Michael Bublé’s Christmas at No. 4, Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song at No. 8 and Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas at No. 10.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) helped Swift clock in her 67th week atop the Billboard 200 across 13 chart-topping albums, tying the record previously held by Elvis Presley for most weeks spent at No. 1 among solo artists. The Beatles still hold the all-time record, with 132 weeks atop the US Billboard 200 chart.

2023 has been a career-defining year for both Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift, and they’re getting ready to end it on a high note. The Billboard Music Awards winners have been announced, and Wallen and Swift managed to come out victorious in most major categories.

The country star Morgan Wallen emerged as the winner in 11 categories, including the top male artist. He owes his success at this year’s BBMAs to his album One Thing at the Time and its biggest hit “Last Night”, which won the top Billboard 200 album and top Hot 100 song, respectively, in addition to several more accolades.

As for Swift, she managed to walk away with 10 awards, starting with the night’s main award for the top artist. She defeated the likes of Drake, Wallen, SZA, and Luke Combs to win this award, and brought her career total to a record-breaking 39 BBMAs.

To make the whole thing even better, Drake tied her record for most Billboard Music Awards won by a single artist. His total currently stands at 39 BBMAs, as well, after he won five awards this year. SZA and Zach Bryan were right behind with four wins each, followed by 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, and Miley Cyrus with three apiece.

Swift also won trophies for artist of the year, show of the summer with The Eras Tour, and album of the year with Midnights – which she announced while winning video of the year with “All Too Well” just last year.

Taylor Swift has been touring for the past two months, but the sold-out concerts aren’t the only things keeping her busy. Shortly after announcing her first international dates for The Eras Tour, Swift returned to No. 1 with Midnights after dropping two deluxe editions of her latest studio album.

The release of The Til Dawn Edition and The Late Night Edition on May 26 propelled Midnights back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 282,000 equivalent album units sold. She finally managed to knock down Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time from the top of the summit, after the country star spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1.

The deluxe editions of Midnights benefited from the release of several new songs that weren’t featured on the original album or its 3 am Edition, including “Hits Different”, “You’re Losing Me”, the “Karma” remix featuring Ice Spice, and “Snow on the Beach” with more Lana Del Rey.

The success of new editions of Midnights comes just a few days after Swift announced she’s ready to take The Eras Tour worldwide. She’s currently busy touring across the US, but the new round of dates includes the first international concerts in Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil.

Taylor Swift has been pretty busy recording new versions of her old albums in recent years, and another one is on the way. She’ll release Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) this summer, and this album will feature six “from the vault” songs that we’ve never heard before.

Swift shared the amazing news with a touching post on social media, accompanied by a photo in a purple dress—a clear nod to the original Speak Now cover. She explained that she always considered this album as “her album” and looked back at the time when she wrote it.

“I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions, and wild wistfulness,” she wrote on social media.

Swift’s fans were speculating that Speak Now would be released as her next re-recording ever since she dropped a new version of “If This Was a Movie”. This will be one of 22 songs on this album, including six “from the vault” tracks that were written for Speak Now but never released.

Swift teased the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) during a recent show in Nashville before confirming it would hit the shelves on July 7.

We can count on Taylor Swift to create some major buzz with each new album and her latest LP Midnights certainly didn’t disappoint. She broke the internet once again with the release of her new record and here are five songs that got everyone talking.

“Lavender Haze”

“Lavender Haze” invited Swift’s fans to her Midnights era and many of them are describing it as her very best opener and wishing she would open the tour with this song, as well.

“Anti-Hero”

The album’s lead single “Anti-Hero” knocked it out of the park with its relatable lyrics, but fans also couldn’t stop discussing its hilarious music video and the origin of the puzzling “sometimes I feel like everybody is a s–y baby” line.

“Vigilante S—t”

Swifties had a feeling that “Vigilante S—t” will be an epic bop ever since the singer announced its title and what she delivered is another amazing revenge anthem.

“High Infidelity”

If you’ve seen countless viral tweets trying to figure out where Taylor Swift was on April 29th, it turns out one line from this song is to blame for them.

“Snow on the Beach” ft. Lana Del Rey

“Snow on the Beach” is the only collaboration on Midnights, but most fans were left a little bit puzzled by this song because they could barely hear Lana Del Rey’s vocals.
