Taylor Swift always has something up her sleeve.  In 2026, the superstar somehow kept up her mastermind games while also putting on a top-secret spectacle of a wedding to Travis Kelce. She released country-pop hit “I Knew It, I Knew You” in June, and a month later, there seemed to be a glitch on Spotify that created a whole new fan theory. Now, speculation is ramping up about Swift’s next chapter: Page Six reported that Swift has been “writing new music” according to an unnamed insider. The superstar also sat down for a rare interview as part of the Recording…

Tyler, The Creator told fans at the second night of his All Points East takeover that the previous evening’s crowd had been “fucking dead” – watch footage below. The rapper performed two sold-out headline shows at London’s Victoria Park on Friday and Saturday (August 28 and 29), becoming the first artist to headline All Points East on two consecutive days. Early in Saturday’s set, before launching into ‘Darling, I’, Tyler compared the two audiences and thanked the second-night crowd for bringing the energy that had been lacking on Friday. “Last night, they were fucking dead, bro,” he said. “So thank y’all right now for lifting my spirits up,…

Lazy. Entitled. Self-absorbed. Too demanding. Unwilling to work. If you’ve spent any time listening to the prevailing narrative about Gen Z, you’ve heard those words. But these insults aren’t new; they are part of a recurring cycle of generational hazing. Critics called Baby Boomers the “Me Generation.” Gen X was the “Slacker Generation.” Millennials were dismissed as entitled and fragile. The labels change, but the story stays the same: the “kids” are always the problem. Maybe that should make us question whether the problem is really generational at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GKntFu1DYo I recently participated in the YouTube series Surrounded, from Jubilee,…

Google Maps has changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America following Donald Trump’s executive order mandating the change amid his trade war with Canada. On Saturday, two days after the president cited Executive Order 14172 (Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness) to authorize the Great Lake’s renaming, Google Maps was updated to reflect the change for U.S. users. Google’s sudden name change — the executive order stated the change must occur within 30 days, not 48 hours — was met with anger by Canadians, Lake Ontario-defending Americans, and HOMES mnemonic rememberers, all of whom accused the company of…

Absolutely has spoken to NME about the fact that she and her sisters RAYE and Amma all performed separately at Reading & Leeds Festival 2026 this weekend. The 22-year-old experimental pop artist, whose real name is Abby-Lynn Keen, was interviewed backstage at Reading shortly after her performance on the festival’s main stage. “I’m not so used to doing festivals,” she said, explaining that she’s only played a handful so far. “I don’t know if people are gonna show up,” she added. “I didn’t expect that many people to show up, so it was really surreal. People were singing along and…

On Saturday, August 30, the inaugural edition of Olivia Rodrigo’s Lilith Fair-inspired music festival Daisy Chain Fields brought a boatload of generational female talent to Irvine, California. Rodrigo headlined the event and had plenty of surprises in store for the crowd, among them a performance of “Landslide” with Stevie Nicks. Watch it below.After Rodrigo and Nicks stand together, the “Gold Dust Woman” singer spoke of the duo’s similarities. “She reminds me of me, when I was her age a hundred years ago,” Nicks told the crowd. “And I’m somewhat awestruck that she could do all this. Because it’s so hard,…

The Grand Ole Opry paid tribute to Dolly Parton on Saturday with an entire performance dedicated to the country legend and Opry member’s music following her death at the age of 80. Carly Pearce — a one-time Dollywood performer who was welcomed into the Opry family in 2021 on Parton’s invitation — opened the tribute with a rendition of “Those Memories of You.” “It only feels right that I get to honor the queen tonight. Dolly, we love you,” Pearce said. Other performances throughout the night included Kathy Mattea tackling “Jolene,” Ketch Secor and Molly Tuttle singing “Just Someone I…

Keo have spoken to NME about their upcoming debut album, ‘Put A Smile On For Me’. Interviewed backstage at Reading Festival, shortly after their performance, brothers Finn and Conor Keogh reflected on the London alt-rock four-piece’s 2025 EP ‘Siren’, which was mostly recorded live. “Unfortunately, we didn’t do ‘Thorn’ live,” explained Finn. “I wish we had, but that’s kind of why we’ve redone it now for the [album]. But for the most part, it was all done live. It was before we had any label backing or anything. So we just had to do what we could do in five…

Alabama Shakes released a new record for the first time in 11 years on Friday, and to Brittany Howard, it contains one clear takeaway. “I want people to be able to know that they can rely on each other,” the band’s singer says. Howard and her bandmates, Zac Cockrell and Heath Fogg, last traveled this road together in 2015, when the sophomore effort from Alabama Shakes, Sound & Color, debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200 and landed three Grammy awards. They toured for two years in the record’s wake before going on hiatus in 2018, when Howard embarked…
