Chrissy Teigen's 'Headband of the Day' Series Is the Best Thing on the Internet Right Now


If you need to kill some time at the office before the weekend arrives, we have the content for you: Chrissy Teigen has been meticulously documenting each and every headband she’s worn for the past two weeks. Called “Headband of the Day” (obviously), the entire series is available on her Instagram. The riveting saga begins with Teigen welcoming her followers to gaze upon all the headbands she wears to work out. First up, a colorful printed number with bold lines and a black background. “Just wanted to update you all on my headband,” she says in the next video, in which she shows off a white floral headband at a restaurant while John Legend goes “ooh lah lah” in the background.

As the series continues, Legend starts starring in guest spots as an honorary headband commentator. “OK, in this episode of ‘what headband is Chrissy wearing,’ despite these dog ears, you can see that it’s very jungle-inspired,” he says in the next video. “She’s got green, orange, specks of gray and white, it’s gorgeous.” He even comes up with a theme song — “Headband of the day/ It’s the headband of the day/ Push your locks away/ It’s the headband of the day,” — which he reprises several times as the true magnitude of Teigen’s headband collection is revealed.

This being the golden age of #sponcon, naturally, some fans were concerned about the authenticity of Teigen’s headband enthusiasm. Turns out, it’s totally genuine. “Not an ad! All my own headbands I’ve collected through the years,” she tweeted. “I just always want to wear headbands to events and no one ever lets me so I am FREE now to do ALL THE HEADBANDS I WANT.”

She also cleared up that her love for headbands has nothing to do with aesthetics. “I don’t either,” she replied when a fan tweeted her, saying they don’t look good in headbands. “They make my forehead even bigger. I look like a moron. That is why it’s so fun. Do it.” Sounds like great inspo for your weekend lewks.

This Taylor Swift Theory Explains Why 'New Year's Day' Is the Last Song on 'Reputation'


“New Year’s Day” is a standout song on Taylor Swift’s new album, Reputation, for several reasons. First and foremost, it’s the sole ballad, which is a shocking move from an artist known for her melodic, acoustic tunes. It’s also the most lyrically poignant song on the record. The majority of Reputation features Swift lamenting about love, drinking, and settling scores over large, bombastic beats—but not “New Year’s Day.” Here, she talks about the aftermath of a wild New Year’s Eve—the bottles on the floor, girls walking with their heels off—and how she’s lucky to have someone to help her navigate the next day. “I want your midnights / But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day,” she sings. It’s not about partying and fun anymore; it’s about beginning the next chapter of her life with a clean slate.

Interestingly, though, “New Year’s Day” is the last song on the record. She quite literally ends Reputation on a quiet, calm note after 14 tracks of loud, electronic jams. And I think that’s intentional. It’s possible the first 14 songs from Reputation are a metaphor for Swift’s chaotic 2016: the year she faced the most scrutiny about her personal life. Remember, that was the year Swift dated (and dumped) Calvin Harris and Tom Hiddleston, had Snapchat beef with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and continued squabbling with Katy Perry. All of this is addressed, in some shape or form, on the first 14 Reputation songs, which are sonically bonkers. It’s the most electric, emotional, and hectic Swift has ever sounded—just like her life in 2016. Interwoven in these songs are nods to her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, who serves as her lifeline through the madness.

And then we get to “New Year’s Day.” January 1. It’s quiet and still; the dust has settled. She’s ready to start things fresh. That’s why the song is last on the record: to illustrate how she’s putting 2016’s messiness behind her and moving on with the person who makes her the happiest (Alwyn). She’s finally waking up from all the feuds, wild nights, and bumpy romances—and she just wants peace.

We’ve had it wrong this whole time: “New Taylor” isn’t on Reputation—not on the first 14 songs, at least. Nope, that’s “Old Taylor,” addressing her past issues one last time as a form of catharsis. It’s only on “New Year’s Day” where we catch a glimpse of “New Taylor”: a woman who, finally, is done with the drama. Here’s to seeing more of her.

Taylor Swift Debuts New Love Song 'New Year's Day'


Sorry Haylor stans, but this isn’t the song you’ve been waiting for.

When Taylor Swift’s Reputation track list was released just days ago, sleuthing Swifities took to dissecting each song’s name for clues, crafting theories both sensical and non. And, unsurprisingly, one of those theories harkened back to the ye olde days of Swift’s relationship with Harry Styles (known in the fandom as “Haylor”). Fans surmised that “New Year’s Day” may refer to the now-iconic image of Swift sitting alone on a boat following a new year’s breakup with Styles. The coincidence seemed all too perfect, but also, that breakup happened in 2012, so it was nonetheless farfetched. Regardless, fans hoped Taylor would finally spill the tea on why she and Harry did not ring in the new year.

But now, with Swift’s debut of the track “New Year’s Day” Thursday night on ABC, during an episode of Scandal—the irony is not lost that she has been embroiled in several “scandals” over the past year herself—fans have confirmation that the song is not at all about Haylor. Instead it is about, both literally and figuratively, New Year’s Day. In the ballad, which was pre-recorded during a Secret Sessions in her Rhode Island home, Swift details cleaning up after a night of partying. There’s glitter and candle wax and polaroids (of course), but it’s OK because she will gladly partake in the unglamorous activity of tidying up, if her beau is in it for the “long road.”

No mention of boats. No mention of the British Virgin Islands. No mention of paper airplanes. Guess Haylor is finally dead.

But fret not, because another fan theory alive and well, even after her performance. Other fans, albeit without proof, hoped the final track on her album would reveal an engagement to Joe Alwyn. While neither the song (nor performance) revealed any kind marriage news, it was, above all else, a love song—seemingly dedicated to Joe, much like “Gorgeous”—in which she promises to stay with someone through all the ups and downs. “I’ll be there through the toast of the town babe / Or if you strike out and you’re crawling home,” she sings. “But I stay when it’s hard or it’s wrong or we’re making mistakes / I want your midnights / But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day.”

It’s no ring, but we’ll take what we can get.

Watch her performance below, and stay tuned for many more fan theories, because her whole album drops at midnight.
