Online dating can be a minefield. Your feelings can get hurt. Your confidence can be shaken. Your time can be wasted. And you can wander into a maelstrom of murder, arson, and identity theft that leaves you questioning your previously established reality. This is the point at which a situation morphs from social annoyance to Netflix true crime documentary.

Lover, Stalker, Killer, whose title practically screams “edgy true crime doc!,” is a sort of tech-age cautionary tale about what can happen when you go looking for love on all the wrong websites.

Here’s Why We Think Taylor Swift’s Upcoming Album Is About Joe Alwyn! (Picture Credit: Instagram)

Taylor Swift made the 2024 Grammy Awards night more memorable by announcing her new album, The Tortured Poets Department. Meanwhile, her fans speculate it might be about her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. That might be possible as the actor once co-wrote two songs for a pop star, and if we think creatively, poets, thinkers, songwriters, or authors are all creators.

Taylor and Alwyn were together for six years before breaking up last year. Taylor soon found love in Travis Kelce, and the lovebirds are going strong now. Tay is known for writing songs about her former lovers. For example, Dead John was about John Mayer, Style for Harry Styles, Forever and Always for Joe Jonas, Midnight Rain for Tom Hiddleston, and more. However, Her song Lover is also believed to have been written for Joe,...

It’s a weird month on Netflix in February; one that will probably require you to be open-minded about the shows and movies you’re willing to consume on the service.

There are quite a few library TV series arriving this month, for example. If you’re ready to start binge-watching Monk, My Wife and Kids, or acclaimed show Warrior, you’re in luck, as those complete seasons will be available. The Blacklist season 10, Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, Brooklyn Nine-Nine seasons 1-4, and Young Sheldon season 6 will also be hitting the ‘Flix.

In terms of what’s new, there’s a ton of foreign language content and true crime stuff, but original English language stuff will largely be unscripted fare like Love is Blind, which is back for a new season. There are a few bits and bobs on the way outside of that, though. Netflix’s animated movie Orion and the Dark will debut,...

The nonprofit We Are Moving the Needle presented the Resonator Awards on Tuesday night, an inaugural celebration designed to spotlight women in the music business in a push for creating a more inclusive industry. Naturally, the biggest name in the game received a shout-out from the podium.

Two of Taylor Swift’s close collaborators — producer Jack Antonoff and mixer and recording engineer Laura Sisk — hit the stage inside Beauty & Essex in Hollywood. Antonoff had the honor of presenting the Exceptional Ears Award to Sisk, a three-time Grammy winner who has also worked with Lana Del Rey, Lorde, St. Vincent and Florence + the Machine.

Antonoff kicked off his tribute by detailing that he’s known Sisk for more than a decade. “She’s absolutely fucking incredible,” said Antonoff, one of two speakers from the podium who noted how loudly distracting the event’s kitchen staff was during the program. “I met Laura 12 or 13 years ago,...

Mariska Hargitay is a major Swiftie, and she’s sharing her favorite track from Taylor Swift‘s discography!

The 59-year-old actress has attended Taylor‘s Eras Tour twice, and she also appeared in the Grammy winner’s music video for “Bad Blood” back in 2015.

During a new interview with People, Mariska revealed that her favorite Taylor song is “The Man” from the Lover album. She explained why the song is so important to her.

The song began playing during her cover shoot for the magazine, and she immediately exclaimed, “I love this song!” Mariska requested to hear it one more time.

“I love Taylor Swift so much,” she told People. “I love what she stands for. I love her music. It’s been an anthem for all ages. I think she is a magnificent creature on this planet and such an important cultural soul.

It might be early January, but it’s never too early for some “Cruel Summer.” On Thursday, Teddy Swims visited BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, where he performed a cover of the Taylor Swift Lover favorite.

Swims started the rendition backed only by a piano as he whispered the opening lyrics, before being joined by a drum kit as he hit the high notes in the song’s chorus, and gave a soulful rendition of the song’s iconic bridge.

“Cruel Summer” had a huge 2023, four years after its initial release.

Trying to find a pattern in the chaos. I found something that was missed by the original investigators..." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for yet another unsettling true crime documentary film called Lover, Stalker, Killer, streaming in February on Netflix. This feature doc from Curious Films (Running with the Devil) and director Sam Hobkinson, deftly assembles the pieces of a mind-bending true tale of harassment, digital deception, and murder in America’s heartland. Lover, Stalker, Killer tells the twisted tale of a modern-day love triangle gone murderously wrong. Following up other docs like The Tinder Swindler, this one examines how Nebraska auto mechanic Dave Kroupa's 2012 attempt to get into the online dating put him in a digital love triangle that ended in murder. This looks crazy! I don't like the way they over-stylize this incident and add all the dramatic music, but it still seems like a fascinating...

Nyt Writes A 5,000 Word Op-Ed Questioning Taylor Swift’s Sexuality! (Photo Credit –Instagram)

The New York Times needs to calm down because it’s being too loud! An op-ed written by their staffer has questioned the sexuality of American singer Taylor Swift. We all know about her history of boyfriends, including Harry Styles, Joe Alwyn, and her current flame, Travis Kelce. The opinion piece is leaving Swifties furious, who’re calling it out for being highly disrespectful. Scroll below for all the details!

The 5,000-word opinion piece talks about a list of LGBTQ references made by Taylor in many of her songs and performances. Editor Anna Marks claims that the You Need To Calm Down singer may be hinting she identifies with the queer community for years now!

Taylor Swift wrapped up what has been a truly historic year with yet another truly historic accomplishment. With 1989 (Taylor’s Version) once again claiming the top spot on Billboard 200 this week, Swift has surpassed Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 weeks of any solo musician in music history.

To date, Swift has logged 68 weeks with the No. 1 album in America. That number tops Elvis’ previous record of 67 weeks at the top of the charts. Now, Swift sits behind only The Beatles, who spent 132 weeks at No. 1 over the course of their career.

Per Billboard, Swift’s first No. 1 album came with Fearless, which spent 11 weeks at No. 1 in late 2008 and early 2009. She then followed that up with 2010’s Speak Now (which spent six weeks at No. 1), 2012’s Red (seven weeks), 2014’s 1989 (11 weeks), 2017’s Reputation (four weeks), 2019’s Lover (one week), 2020’s folklore (eight weeks), 2020’s evermore (four weeks), 2021’s Fearless...

Let’s get this out of the way: Taylor Swift dominated the year in music, and it wasn’t even close. Four-year-old songs of hers topped the charts. She sold physical albums at a head-spinning rate. Her Eras Tour was an economic stimulus in every city she played, and reignited conversations around the deeply broken ticketing marketplace as fans scrambled to purchase tickets. Her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce created a frenzy around a celebrity simply attending NFL games. And she also released some damn great music.

The Billboard Hot 100 singles chart tracks the most popular songs every week from Friday to Thursday based on a combination of their sales, online streams (audio and video), and radio airplay. Below is the list of every song that came out on top in 2023, updated weekly as each new chart is announced.

On Wednesday, the streaming service released its end-of-year Spotify Wrapped data, which placed Taylor Swift at the top of the list of the most-streamed artists both globally and in the United States. It marks the first time Swift has topped the year-end artist global chart in her career.

Taylor Swift‘s 34th birthday is right around the corner, and to celebrate the momentous occasion, T-Swizzle is bringing the biggest concert film of the year, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, home to fans for a digital release. The upcoming presentation, which includes three songs not shown in theaters, comes courtesy of Taylor Swift and Universal Home Entertainment.

“Hi! Well, so, basically I have a birthday coming up and I was thinking a fun way to celebrate the year we’ve had together would be to make The Eras Tour Concert Film available for you to watch at home,” T-Swift wrote on Instagram.

Months into the Eras tour, Taylor Swift has every moment of the show memorized and prepared. She runs such a tight ship — there are rarely ever hiccups in her performances from herself or her dancers. But during a recent tour stop in Rio De Janeiro, a mild disruption came courtesy of none other than Swift’s bejeweled Christian Louboutin shoes.

Taylor Swift performed her final of three Eras Tour concerts in Rio on Monday night (November 20) and she suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the top of the show.

The 33-year-old singer was performing the Lover era when the heel of her right boot unfortunately broke. In order to properly walk around stage, Taylor actually ripped off the heel and continued with the era without a heel on one foot!

“She stands on tiptoe, with a broken heel, like a real-life Barbie,” Taylor‘s fan account tweeted along with a video of the moment.

A fan actually grabbed the broken heel and put it in their bag, sharing the photo on Twitter in the middle of the show.

Make sure to see some amazing photos from Sunday night’s rain show, in which Taylor performed the whole concert in the pouring rain.

She is a finalist for 20 prizes including Top Artist, which she previously won twice before. She’s followed closely by country singer Morgan Wallen and R&b star Sza who have 17 citations apiece.

The 2023 Billboard Music Awards are set to take place on Sunday, November 19, and it looks like it’ll be yet another awards coronation for Taylor Swift. According to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users as of this writing, she’s the favorite to win Top Artist. It would be her third victory in that race, which would tie Drake‘s record for the most in the category’s history.

These awards are strictly a popularity contest, but they’re not decided by fans voting online like the MTV Video Music Awards or the American Music Awards. Instead, they’re decided by the same metrics that are used to generate the weekly Billboard charts, like album sales, song sales, radio airplay and streaming. And during the eligibility period, Swift has been nothing if not successful. It might, in fact, be the most dominant period of her career.

Taylor Swift: the record-breaker. The 2024 Grammy nominations were announced Friday, and with the reveal, Swift made her-story by breaking the record for most Song of the Year nods, thanks to “Anti-Hero.” She now has seven total nominations in the category, one more than Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie.

Swift also tied the record for most nods in the Album of the Year category for a female artist, held by Barbra Streisand, thanks to Midnights.

Swift, who prides herself on songwriting, earned her first Song of the Year nod in 2010 with “You Belong with Me.

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 10, Rolling Stone is breaking down 16 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

Though Taylor Swift's famous female friends, widely known as the "Squad," might be on everyone's radar, the superstar's low-key friendship with long-time music collaborator Jack Antonoff is the unsung hero of the 12-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter's tight-knit inner circle. The two music geniuses first crossed paths in 2012 at the MTV EMAs, and that chance encounter led to their first collaboration, "Sweeter than Fiction" - a track featured on the soundtrack for the 2013 motion picture "One Chance."

That was just the beginning of a beautiful partnership - both in their personal and professional lives. Since then, the dynamic musical duo has worked together on numerous hit records, including "1989," "Lover," and "Midnights," having created some of the biggest fan-favorites, including "Getaway Car," "August," "Cruel Summer," "Anti-Hero," and many more.

Taylor Swift continues to make history with her music and this time 1989 (Taylor’s Version) has broken a record that the singer and songwriter set herself.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) is the latest release in Swift’s effort to own her music catalog completely and with its release on Friday, it became Spotify’s most-streamed album in 2023. Swift also became the most-streamed artist in a single day in the music streamer’s history.

Swift originally released 1989 in 2014 and the album featured hit songs like “Shake It Off,” “Blank Space,” “Style,” “Bad Blood,” “Wildest Dreams,” “Out of the Woods” and “New Romantics.” For this album, Swift went on to win Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2016 Grammys.

Taylor Swift continues to defy the rules in the music industry alongside the Swifties as “Cruel Summer” from her Lover album hits the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song was originally released in 2019 alongside the rest of the Lover album. Although Swift had intended for the song to be a single in 2020, the pandemic forced plans to change. As Swift embarked on The Eras Tour, “Cruel Summer” picked up steam again and has now achieved several rare feats.

With “Cruel Summer” hitting No. 1, Swift became the first female artist to score ten No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and ten No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. “Cruel Summer” also gave Swift the longest run for a female soloist from a Hot 100 debut to No. 1, excluding holiday songs, climbing to the top spot after four years and two months.

The 33-year-old pop titan’s “Cruel Summer,” originally released in 2019 and included on her album Lover, hit No. 1 on the weekly chart.

After taking four years, one month and three weeks to top the chart, Billboard noted that only four other songs have taken more time to reach the pinnacle position – The Weeknd‘s “Die for You,” Sheriff‘s “When I’m With You,” Ub40‘s “Red Red Wine” and Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

More importantly, “Cruel Summer” has become Taylor‘s 10th song to top the Billboard Hot 100. It boosts her to an exclusive group of only 11 artists who have 10 or more chart toppers to their name.

In honor of the occasion, we rounded up all 10 of Taylor’s No. 1′s! Find out which was her first and which song held the peak position the longest.

Taylor Swift has joined elite company by achieving her 10th No. 1 single, and it’s all thanks to a song originally released four years ago.

“Cruel Summer” tops this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

More than four years after Taylor Swift’s Lover track was released in August 2019, the song has finally topped Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, the publication announced on Monday, marking yet another victory for Swift that likely would have been unexpected until a few months ago. The song finished last week with 18.6 million streams and over 41,000 sales, the latter figure representing a 1,400 percent increase from the week prior.

Taylor Swift's song "...Ready For It?" has been a fan favorite ever since it was released on her 2017 album "Reputation."

As one of Swift's sexiest tracks ever, "...Ready For It?" has a prime spot in the Eras Tour setlist, and we can't help but sing along every time. But the song also has some fans wondering which of Swift's exes she was thinking about when she wrote it.

Most of the love songs on "Reputation" were about Swift's then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, so some fans think the song is about him. They were together from 2016 to 2023.

Since she became a household name for her role as Eleven on Netflix's "Stranger Things," fans have been curious about Millie Bobby Brown's personal life, especially now that she's engaged. While the actor may have garnered more buzz in light of "Stranger Things"'s season four release, she's also generated attention for her sweet relationship with Jake Bongiovi.

In an Oct. 16 interview with Glamour, Brown opened up about what made her realize Bongiovi was the one. She entered the relationship shortly after getting out of what she described as an "unhealthy situation" with TikToker Hunter Ecimovic, who later claimed he had groomed Brown and made other disparaging comments before eventually apologizing. The ordeal made Brown feel "publicly humiliated," she told the outlet.

Director Shawn Levy praises Taylor Swift's potential as a director, comparing her to Steven Spielberg, citing her strong instinct and vision for her creative work. While Swift didn't direct Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, her past experience directing her own music videos showcases the depth of her artistic vision. The technical prowess and success of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, with its impeccable editing and record-breaking pre-sale, positions Swift for potential box office success with her own feature film.

Director Shawn Levy likens Taylor Swift to director Steven Spielberg. Swift is making a huge cinematic splash this fall with the release of her concert documentary Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour which documents her recent blockbuster tour and is directed by Sam Wrench. Beyond that, Swift has appeared in a number of movies over the years and plans to direct her own soon after helming the short film for her song "All Too Well.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour movie captures the spectacle and nostalgia of her record-breaking concert series, despite leaving out a few of her biggest songs. The film, which runs for around 169 minutes, takes fans on a journey through Swift's 10-album musical past and present, fulfilling every Taylor Swift fan's "Wildest Dreams." With a $39 million opening day and projections that put it ahead of other blockbusters, the concert movie highlights Swift's incredible success as a global pop icon.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie takes the singer-songwriter's record-breaking concert series and brings it to the silver screen — though the film isn't a full three-hour concert. Unlike its live event counterpart, The Eras Tour movie leaves a few of Swift's biggest songs on the cutting room floor. Even so, it's not enough to incite any "Bad Blood" among fans; the concert movie is packed with all the spectacle, nostalgia, and thrills of Swift's soon-to-be-billion-dollar-earning Eras Tour.

Eligibility for the Grammys is relatively simple: release during the eligibility period, though in some cases songs from the previous cycle are eligible as well provided they were released as singles in the current Grammy year. Despite this, here are a few artists that either weren’t eligible or just weren’t submitted for awards consideration this year.

SEEGrammy voting is underway: Here are the 8 albums we’re currently betting on for Album of the Year nominations

“Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez

The biggest absence this year on the Grammy ballot was Rema and Selena Gomez’s multi-format smash hit “Calm Down (Remix).” The original song, a solo version by Rema, was submitted last year to the Best Global Music Performance category. The remix with Gomez also came out before last year’s eligibility ended, though, so it would have needed to take advantage of a loophole to be eligible again this year.

Are you ready for it?

Several IndieWire staffers met up Friday night for what was supposed to be opening night of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” at a NYC theater. Anticipation? High. Energy level? Even higher. Drinks consumed? Unprecedented.

Taylor’s Eras tour concert film is so much concert film. It’s nearly three hours long and Swift is her supernova self, hustling through 17 years of music with eras both mellow and nostalgic. (A high point in our particular theater was the euphoric in-your-seat dancing to high school throwback “You Belong with Me.”) While the audience energy level was definitely higher than the kind you’d find with your typical Friday night cinephiles, the crowd mostly remained seated, and the singing along was kept simply to key lyrics.

It was a night filled with friendship bracelets, light up Taylor glow sticks (more on that later), and at least one homemade Taylor T-shirt.

Some of Taylor Swift's most devoted fans were very happy this June when news broke that her song "Cruel Summer," off of 2019's "Lover," was officially being released as a single. The news was first reported by U.S. Radio Updater on X (formerly Twitter) on June 14 and was later confirmed by Billboard. The song, cowritten by Swift, Jack Antonoff, and St. Vincent's Annie Clark, has long been a Swiftie fan favorite.

But if you're a more casual Swiftie, you might not be as familiar with "Cruel Summer." Ahead, we break down what the song's about, why the single release of "Cruel Summer" was such a big deal for fans, and its chart performance.

What Is Taylor Swift's "Cruel Summer" About?

In "Cruel Summer," Swift narrates a casual relationship that takes place during the summer. She sings about sneaking out and around, slipping over garden walls, and climbing out of windows.

News broke on April 10 that Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn had quietly called it quits this spring after six years together. Though the pair were together for a long time, both were mostly tight-lipped about their connection and life together - except, that is, when it came to Swift's songwriting.

The pair first connected while Swift was working on her 2017 album "Reputation," and fans believe quite a few songs on the record are about her then-new boyfriend. Many of the songs on her "Lover" album, released in 2019, are all about falling deeper in love with her longtime beau. Her single "Lover," which includes quite a few wedding references, even sparked major engagement rumors for the pair.

When Swift released "Folklore" and "Evermore" in 2020, not only were a few of the songs about her romance with Alwyn, but she teamed up with her partner to write some of them as well.

When Taylor Swift kicked off her highly anticipated Eras Tour on March 18, fans worldwide were curious about what would and wouldn't make the set list.

During the tour (which is now also a film), Swift performs at least one song from almost all of her album eras, giving particular attention to the albums released since her last tour in 2018: 2019's "Lover," 2020's "Folklore" and "Evermore," and 2022's "Midnights." There's also a different surprise song every night. But the section of the show that focuses on her "Evermore" album is, perhaps, most surprising to fans, as it features some of the saddest songs from her discography. One particular standout is the song "Marjorie," which is only one of two songs in Swift's catalog named after a woman. In fact, "Marjorie" is actually about a real person - the singer's late maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay.

Just like "Folklore"'s "Epiphany," which...

Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” concert film premiered Wednesday night to an enthusiastic crowd of celebrities, fans and of course Taylor’s team, with the star of the film in attendance. As one of the first to see the film, TheWrap has the scoop on which songs from the wildly popular tour made the film, and which songs were cut.

After making speeches in multiple auditoriums for separate audiences, Swift, clad in a sky blue floral-patterned dress (probably in theme for “1989 (Taylor’s Version) with her hair pinned up like the signature bob she had when that album first came out), sat back to enjoy the experience in one of the IMAX screening rooms with her background vocalists and publicist Tree Paine.

The documentary runs 2 hours and 48 minutes, slightly shorter than Swift’s three-hour setlist and performance, which she has brought to 17 of the United States so far in addition to Mexico.

You probably don’t need this review to tell you if you’ll enjoy Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour as a movie. You can surely already guess, based on how much you enjoyed (or think you might have enjoyed) Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as a concert. Because this movie is exactly no more and no less than what it says on the tin: a filmed version of Swift’s record-breaking show, captured over three performances in Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. Aside from a few onstage “bloopers” over the closing credits, there’s next to nothing in the way of supplementary material — no interviews, no behind-the-scenes footage, no commentary on what any of this means.

But what a concert it is — and what an experience it makes, even in the relatively modest confines of a movie theater.

As has been exhaustively documented over the past seven months, the Eras Tour...

“When will Taylor Swift’s film career take off?” has been a question lurking in the back of a lot of people’s minds ever since she started getting her feet wet with bit parts in “The Giver” and “Valentine’s Day” … and then further limited herself to keeping her toes damp with “Cats” and “Amsterdam” cameos. But do we finally have an answer to that question now, or what? Nobody should suppose that “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” doesn’t count as establishing her as a movie star, just because it’s a straightforward rendering of an ongoing concert tour that’s soon to become the most successful in history. It’s 2 hours and 45 minutes of nearly nonstop acting, writ large for the back row of SoFi Stadium and, now, Imax and Dolby. What she might do with lengthy dialogue passages someday remains to be seen, but she’s...
