Taylor Swift Finally Commented on the Newly-Leaked ‘Famous’ Call Footage


Taylor Swift has broken her silence on the newly-leaked “Famous” phone call footage from 2016. And, reader, her response is good.

If you took a break from the internet this weekend, let me catch you up to speed: Late Friday night (March 20), footage of what appeared to be the complete, unedited 2016 phone call between Swift and Kanye West about his song “Famous” hit the web. That track, remember, has the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous”—which Swift took issue with at the time, specifically the word “bitch.” In a 2016 interview with GQ, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, claimed Swift approved of the lyric ahead of time, then leaked footage of the phone call on Snapchat that seemed to corroborate that. Swift was quickly labeled a liar and “snake” by people on the internet.

But this new footage vindicates Swift completely. West never mentions in the call that the word “bitch” would be used in the song. In fact, at one point in the conversation, Swift literally says, “It doesn’t feel mean, but oh, my God, the build-up you gave it. I thought it was gonna be like, ‘That stupid, dumb bitch,’ but it’s not.” So you can imagine Swift’s hurt when the word “bitch” did make it into the song.

Fans have been waiting for someone in this trio—Swift, West, or Kardashian—to make a statement about this new footage. Kardashian “liked” the tweet, below, and Swift “liked” some posts on Tumblr, but no one has said anything.

Until now. Taylor Swift is the first person to officially break their silence on the issue, taking to Instagram Stories and urging fans to focus on “what really matters” right now—helping those affected by coronavirus—instead of petty drama.

She did, however, say a few pointed words before showing fans how they can donate to the World Health Organization and Feeding America.

“Instead of answering those who are asking how I feel about the video footage that leaked, proving that I was telling the truth the whole time about that call (you know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family and fans through hell for 4 years)…SWIPE UP to see what really matters,” she wrote.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West haven’t responded to Swift’s post. Yet. Ahhh, it feels like 2016 again.

Taylor Swift Liked A Bunch of Fan Posts About That New Kanye West Phone Call Footage


Oh boy, the saga bewteen Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian continues after new video from the 2016 call between Swift and West leaked on March 22. While none of the celebs involved have issued public statements about this new layer of drama, Taylor Swift seems to be showing how she feels in a more subtle way.

If you remember, the whole situation involves West’s 2016 song “Famous,” in which he name-drops Swift in lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous.” Shortly after the song dropped, Swift said through a statement that she found the lyrics to be “misogynistic.”

However, Kardashian and West insisted they ran the song by the pop star before it was even released. Kardashian even took to Snapchat to prove their side of the story, releasing a recording of the call they had with Swift in which West explains some of the premises to her. Swift can be heard enjoying a lyric shared by the rapper, which led many people to accuse her of lying and playing the victim.

But in new, extended footage of the call, West never mentions the “bitch” line at all, which seems to confirm Swift’s original story. During the conversation, you can hear Swift specifically tell West she’s glad he didn’t call her a “bitch” in the song. “I’m glad it’s not mean though,” she said on the call. “It doesn’t feel mean, but like, oh my God, the build-up you gave it. I thought it was gonna be like that stupid dumb bitch, like, but it’s not.”

On Tumblr, several fans have been posting memes and statements praising Swift, who they feel has been vindicated after four long years. According to the Daily Mail, Swift seems to have gone on a bit of a Tumblr spree herself by liking a bunch of these posts. Here are some of the posts reportedly “liked” by her account:

There you have it, at least for now. Swift’s currently staying at home and encouraging fans to do the same during the COVID-19 pandemic. As for the Kardashian-Wests, we’ll just have to wait and see.

This New Footage From *Game of Thrones* Season 8 Teases Some Big Jon and Dany Theories


The season-eight premiere of Game of Thrones is less than two weeks away, and fan theories are reaching a fever pitch—even more so now that HBO has released two new promo videos which contain new, never-before-seen footage.

The videos clips are short, but they contain a ton of material for fans to dissect. In the new footage, we see Tyrion addressing the crowd (“We must fight together, or die”) at Winterfell, where Sansa and Dany can be spotted together at the head of table. Does that mean these two are actually getting along? We see the Unsullied getting into formation for battle, Beric Dondarrion lighting up his sword with the Hound, and a glimpse of Arya and Jon finally being reunited as his voiceover says, “Think back to where we started, now it’s just us.” (Those two haven’t been together since season one!)

But it’s the scenes with Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen that are garnering the most online buzz.

Watch them both below, and then let’s discuss.

That moment where Jon walks away as Dany stares into the fire—possibly at Dragonstone? Yeah, people on Reddit think that might be the moment the couple learns they are, in fact, aunt and nephew. “Dany looking towards the fire while Jon turns away is totally when she learns the truth,” one commenter wrote. Obviously, we can’t know exactly what’s going on in the scene, but it seems logical Jon learns his true parentage at some point this season and that it will have a drastic effect on his relationship with Dany.

Though some think he may just be leaving her to go to battle—but wouldn’t she be joining him?

There’s also a shot of Varos, Tyrion, and Davos looking up overhead at something, which many assume to be Dany’s dragons. But the newest theory is that Jon may be riding one of them. “They’ve seen dragons before. There’s only one reason why they are looking at dragon like that – someone other than Daenerys is riding,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

Game of Thrones season eight officially returns Sunday, April 14 on HBO. We’ll get all our answers then.

Ariana Grande Just Shared Behind-the-Scenes Footage From Her 'Thank U, Next' Video


I have good news and bad news: We’re still going to have to wait until tomorrow (Friday, November 30) to see the highly-anticipated new music video for Ariana Grande‘s single “Thank U, Next.” But on the bright side, Ari just released a three-and-a-half minute behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the video to tide you over until then.

The first trailer for the video was a total homage to the movie Mean Girls. But in it, we don’t actually see Grande, though she is much discussed by the other “students” a la Regina George. And, based on Instagram posts leading up to the big reveal, we knew that Bring It On, 13 Going on 30, and Legally Blonde would also be represented.

So, thankfully, the BTS footage gives us a little more insight into what looks like an extremely entertaining shoot. While the single plays, we get to see Grande having fun with director Hannah Lux and the cast and crew—including actress Jennifer Coolidge reprising her famous role as Paulette in Legally Blonde. There are dancers doing Elle Woods’ signature move, the Bend and Snap, and Grande’s former Victorious co-star Matt Bennett seems to be playing Jesse Bradford’s character from Bring It On. Her bestie Courtney Chipolone (credited as “That Bitch”) is in a wedding scene—with Grande in a white dress and veil. Hmm…

Also spotted: Bruiser Woods, Jenna Rink’s dollhouse, the burn book, tons of “Thank U, Next” signage, and Grande doing a perfect Elle Woods walk. Take a look, below:

Fans on social media are, obviously, pretty psyched.

The video ends with a title card reading, “Thank U, Next. Tomorrow. Bye.” So if you need us for the next however many hours, we’ll just be watching this on a loop until the actual video drops.

This 'Pitch Perfect' Rehearsal Footage Is, Well, Pitch Perfect


Pitch Perfect is the gift that keeps on giving—and how appropriate that, just after Christmas, the cast has bestowed upon us yet another gem of a present (hey, it’s a little late, but we’ll take it). If you might recall, actor Skylar Astin, who plays Jesse Swanson of the Barden Treblemakers in the Pitch Perfect series, is one of the first two movies’ shining stars. But even though Astin left the Treblemakers (and us!) in the third film, that doesn’t mean he’s gone forever. In fact, he was clearly missing the film’s cast when he posted a little something to Instagram on Friday: a clip of rehearsal footage from the first Pitch Perfect—and it’s never been seen before now. Even better? Rebel Wilson—Fat Amy of the Barden Bellas, of course— joined in after his post with a little gift of her own.

“FBF to this never before seen rehearsal footage of PP1!,” Astin captioned the post. “Featuring an invisible @bensplatt (who was probably at a fitting or something) ?” The videos feature the Treblemakers prepping “Right Round” and the “Bright Lights Big City” x “Magic” mashup.

Wilson joined in the fun by releasing her own behind-the-scenes footage on her YouTube channel. It’s the very first rehearsal of the “I Saw the Sign” mashup the Bellas would go on to perform in the ICCA semi-finals. “Back in 2011, we were just getting to know each other and work together as a team,” she captioned the clip. “This is the first rehearsal of our Bella’s semi-final performance for the ICCA’s. Our choreographer AJ would record us so we could learn the routines and get better.”

And for the very first rehearsal ever of the song and choreography, they sound incredible. Check it out—and then get ready to queue up Pitch Perfect for some lazy New Year’s Day viewing:

Taylor Swift Releases Behind-the-Scenes Footage of 'Look What You Made Me Do'


Despite Taylor Swift (and her social media) aggressively reminding us that the old Taylor is dead and gone, it seems that she is very much alive and well and still trying to be the human embodiment of a feline.

Case in point: On Wednesday, Swift released behind-the-scenes footage of ‘Look What You Made Me Do,’ her first music video from her upcoming album, Reputation. In the clip, Taylor embodies all of her past selves, donning her iconic old looks (curly hair and all) to film the scene in which the “new Taylor” stands atop a mountain of her old personas. She also meets a gaggle of blondes chosen to play her extras—a scene that even Taylor couldn’t fathom.

“OK, this is the trippiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” she says, walking onto set. “Seeing all of them together is the weirdest feeling, but it’s awesome. It’s like, ‘Oh, that’s the phase I went through when I was 16 but a girl is wearing it who looks just like me.’ We’re having a great time. We’re all just chatting about life. That’s gotta look weird,” she also quipped.

Yes, not going to lie, watching Fearless-era Taylor—note the 13 on her hand—scream “I hate you, get out of my house” at Red-era Taylor is really a lot for any Swiftie to handle.

But more entertaining than seeing the choreographed fight scenes come to life or the nostalgia-inducing costuming are the moments when the old Taylor spectacularly shines through: She jokes about being graceful! She almost falls off a rig! She names a move after a cat (“kitten strangle fight”)!

It is undoubtedly the most old Taylor fans have seen since she released an ad for AT&T earlier this month. So perhaps she’s really not dead at all. Maybe she’s just a ghost? Let the fan theories commence.
