Brazil has introduced a new ‘Taylor Swift Law’ three years after a fan died of extreme heat at one of her ‘Eras Tour’ shows. Ana Clara Benevides, aged 23, fainted during the November 2023 show, which saw temperatures in the area peaking around 38-degrees. She died hours later at a local hospital, and it was later confirmed that she died from heat exhaustion, as heat exposure led to cardiac arrest. Swift took to social media to say that she was left “devastated” by the news, and later cancelled the following show in the city due to the extreme temperatures. At…
“To me, the show is my very own romcom and I have loved creating so many stories for you to watch,” fried chicken gourmandizer says Chicken Shop Date has reached its expiration date, according to an Instagram post from the star of the popular YouTube series, Amelia Dimoldenberg.

When Dolly Parton died last week, it felt as if the world had sunk behind the horizon. I was sitting in my office at home when the news broke on a Tuesday. My mother was one of the first people to text me. “Work must be so busy,” she messaged. “She was so young.” This was true. At 80, Parton was as determined as ever to change the world. My mother and I admire that about her and when we talked on the phone, we reminisced about Parton’s life. I asked her what about the music legend resonated most with…

F or decades, fans have been asking Sarah McLachlan the same question: “When are you going to revive Lilith Fair?” The traveling all-women festival, which took place in the summers of 1997 through 1999, was McLachlan’s direct response to the sexism of the music industry, and the promoters who told her that multiple women couldn’t be featured on the same concert lineup (or played consecutively on radio, for that matter). And for nearly 30 years, the singer-songwriter gave the same answer: Lilith Fair was in the past. “I’m too old,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “If it were to…
Talking Heads’ David Byrne has written a song for a “scathing” new Elon Musk documentary, and the lyrics are reportedly only comprised of the billionaire’s quotes. The new feature-length documentary is made by Alex Gibney, who is behind Going Clear: Scientology And The Prison Of Belief, The Inventor: Out For Blood In Silicon Valley, and the Oscar-winning Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room. Described as a “definitive and unvarnished examination” of the billionaire tycoon, Musk is set to open in cinemas on October 16, and has already been criticised by Elon Musk – who described the 235-minute film as…
There’s something familiar about Maren Morris’s East Nashville living room. Maybe it’s the wood-paneled walls, or the gorgeous upright piano with its gilded exposed innards that evokes an old organ, or the two stained-glass windows that refract slices of tinted light. It feels, to be honest, kind of like church. “A little bit on the nose, huh,” Morris says with a laugh. A decade ago, she released her breakout single “My Church” from her debut album Hero, and she’s rolling with the metaphors. This cabin-like home she shares with her son Hayes has become her sanctuary, and, in a few…
Amelia Dimoldenberg has announced the final series of her long-running, algorithm-conquering interview series Chicken Shop Date. The deadpan host welcomed the likes of Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Dave, and Sabrina Carpenter across a 12-year run, posing acerbic, flirty, and fearless questions that used spontaneity and awkwardness to jolt guests off script. The decision to wind down the series will allow her to “move on from this adventure and onto the next one,” she said in a statement.Dimoldenberg founded Chicken Shop Date at 17, as a print column for a London magazine called The Cut (no relation to the New York…
