Taylor Swift Serves as a Bridesmaid for Her Best Friend Abigail Anderson


Aside from launching a massive, record-breaking single and releasing a music video that’s spawned a thousand fan theories—you know, normal things—Taylor Swift has mostly remained out of the public eye lately. She even skipped this year’s MTV VMAs, even though the award show was premiering her “Look What You Made Me Do” video and, in past years, was a favorite red carpet event of hers.

After a year-plus of ups and downs, it makes sense Taylor would want to keep her private life…well, private. That said, if there’s one thing that can get the singer to make a rare appearance it’d be a squad member’s wedding—especially one where Taylor is a bridesmaid.

On Sunday, September 2, Taylor was photographed at her best friend Abigail Anderson’s wedding in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. (Taylor’s mom, Andrea Swift, was also there!) Taylor wore a floor-length burgundy gown with a sweetheart neckline and matching lipstick. According to E! News, an eyewitness says Taylor was dressed in the same color as the bridesmaids and flower girls, but the singer’s dress was a different style than the other ‘maids. We’re looking into who makes the dress and will keep you posted once we find out. Until then, take a look:

As any proper Taylor fan knows by now, Taylor and Abigail have been friends since high school—the song “Fifteen” was famously written about Abigail. Since then, they’ve remained close. Abigail even scored an invite to Taylor’s infamous Fourth of July party last year—yes, the one with the “I <3 T.S.” shirt.

Taylor also threw Abigail and her fiancé (now husband), Matt Lucier, an engagement celebration:

Congrats, Abigail and Matt!

Taylor Swift Just Made a 'Very Sizable Donation' to Hurricane Harvey Relief

The full impact of Hurricane Harvey‘s destruction continues to be made apparent during what some are saying is the worst natural disaster to hit Texas. Trillion of gallons of water has been dumped on Houston and surrounding areas, and the estimated death toll has topped 50 as of Saturday, according to Houston’s Chron.com (this figure includes those who are “feared dead”). Luckily, people are doing what they can to help relief efforts. Lots of stars have opened their wallets to give to those in need and the organizations waiting to help them—and the latest to offer a donation is Taylor Swift.

On Friday, the Houston Food Bank posted that Swift had made “a very sizable donation” to the organization. She did so in honor of her mom, the food bank shared, who’s a University of Houston alumna. “We thank you, Taylor, and we thank everyone for donating to help rebuild our community,” the food bank added.

She’s not the only celebrity to give, either—far from it. After Kevin Hart, who pledged $25,000 of his own money to relief efforts, issued a call to Hollywood to donate, the Kardashians donated $500,000. Beyoncé is joining in to help her hometown with her philanthropic arm, BeyGOOD. Leonardo DiCaprio has pledged $1 million to the United Way Recovery Fund; Sandra Bullock sent another cool million to the American Red Cross. Nicki Minaj has pledged $25,000. J.Lo and Alex Rodriguez did a joint donation of $50,000. Miley Cyrus is giving $500,000. Ellen DeGeneres lived up to her last name with $75,000 in total coming from her and her show. President Donald Trump has also promised to donate $1 million of his own money.

If you want to help aid Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, here’s a list of ways you can help no matter where you are.

Taylor Swift Reportedly Lounged in $10 Million Worth of Diamonds in the 'Look What You Made Me Do' Video


Hey, did you know that Taylor Swift released a new music video? Well, did you know that in said music video, she takes a rather uncomfortable-looking but unquestionably lavish bath in a tub filled with what Page Six is reporting to be $10 million-worth of diamonds?

Early on in the “Look What You Made Me Do” video, Swift is seen lounging back in a tub filled to the brim not with a soothing bubble bath, but rather countless jewels—necklaces, rings, bracelets, you name it! And though at first, many focused on the single dollar bill that’s pictured laying among the diamonds (an inferred reference to the symbolic settlement she received for her recent sexual assault case), Page Six suggests that the rest of the stage props used to set the scene were considerably pricier. The total value of Swift’s not-so-casual soak is actually estimated to be a cool $10 million.

The bling shown in the bathtub was sourced from famed celebrity jeweler Neil Lane‘s vault, according to Page Six—and, unsurprisingly, required a lot of security monitoring. Hey, better safe than sorry—did you see how many Taylors there were in that video? Plus, they proved they were perfectly capable of staging a heist…

Revisit Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” for the upteenth time, below.

Taylor Swift Is Selling the 'I Heart T.S.' Crop Tops From the 'Look What You Made Me Do' Video


Taylor Swift has finally released the music video for her newest single Look What You Made Me Do during the 2017 MTV VMAs and fans promptly lost their minds. But now, you can own a piece of this shady history.

While we’re still watching the video on repeat and dissecting every last scene, Taylor is giving the people what they want: merch from the video. Though T.Swift was conspicuously absent from this year’s VMA awards, she clearly planned an elaborate roll out of the world premiere. And one of the shadiest moments was the I <3 T.S. crop tops background dancers wore in one scene, obviously calling out that time Tom Hiddleston wore a similar tank top at Taylor’s 2016 Fourth of July weekend party. Now, stans can show their love too because Taylor is selling similar crop tops on her website.

While it seemed like Tom’s tank was handmade, the official embroidered tee will set you back $50 and won’t ship until September 12. But that’s not all you can take away from the Look What You Made Me Do video. UPS posted on Twitter that pieces of the floor signed by Taylor (and other great prizes like tickets to some of her first shows) will be given out to random fans who pre-order Reputation through their site between now and the November 10 release date. Other products Taylor is selling on her website include shirts with the Reputation album cover art, a “rep” sweater, and various snake motifs.

Taylor Swift Just Dropped Her New Song, and It's Her Sexiest Yet

Stop everything you’re doing right now: Taylor Swift just dropped her new single, and it’s friggin’ amazing.

It’s called “Look What You Made Me Do,” and it’s by far Swift’s sexiest song yet. Listen to it, below:

The track is certainly a departure from Swift’s 1989 sound.

This new song is the culmination of six days of mysterious promo. Swift hinted new music was coming on Friday (August 18) when she blacked out her Instagram and Twitter pages. However, things really kicked into overdrive on Monday (August 21) when she dropped a video of a snake’s tail on social media. Fans immediately took this as a reference to the snake emoji people started using to describe her after the Kim Kardashian-Snapchat debacle. (Remember that nonsense from 2016?) Swift followed this up with another snake video on Tuesday—and then a third one Wednesday morning.

And that’s when it happened: At 12:30 P.M. EST Wednesday, Swift revealed the name of her album (Reputation), the cover art (see below), and its release date (November 10). She also included a message that her first single would drop Thursday night, and now here we are: in pop-music utopia.

So what can we expect from this new album? The cover art suggests Swift’s new direction is darker and grittier than 1989, which took home the 2016 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Fans should still expect a pop aesthetic, but one grounded in harder beats and sonics than, say, “Blank Space.” We’re definitely on board with that.

This new music is coming off the heels of Swift winning her countersuit against former radio DJ David Mueller. (If you’re unfamiliar with that story, Swift claimed Mueller reached under her skirt and grabbed her bare bottom during a meet-and-greet in 2013. Mueller said the claims were false and sued Swift for $3 million in damages. Swift countersued for just $1—and the court sided with her.)

All the Signs Taylor Swift Is Releasing New Music Today


It’s been three long years since Taylor Swift released her last album 1989. The record, which won basically all the Grammy Awards in 2016, was more than just a collection of catchy pop songs: It was an event. Swift is one of those rare musicians whose work takes on a life of its own. Every music video, tour outfit, and promotional performance was larger than life; it really felt like we were in the presence of something special—something that was only going to happen once in our lifetime. Truthfully, the only other modern artist who has this same level of influence is Beyoncé. They sit at a very small table of artists who are more than just artists: They’re icons.

That’s why the wait for Swift’s next album has been agonizing—but it looks like new music is finally upon us. All the signs point to today, August 21—the day of the solar eclipse—as the day Swift ushers in her sixth album era. Here’s why:

Swift fans have been thinking for months now that her new music will be space and time-themed—so what better day to begin promo for it than the day of a solar eclipse? And if the eclipse is playing a factor in this new era, it would explain why Swift blacked out her social media channels on Friday (August 18). The solar eclipse, if you’re unfamiliar, literally blacks out the sun for two minutes. These connections aren’t exactly subtle.

And get this: Swift decided to break her social media silence on Eclipse Day. She uploaded a cryptic video of a snake, which is clearly a nod to the Kim Kardashian-Snapchat feud from last year. (If you recall, people started associating Swift with the snake emoji because of it.)

Joseph Kahn, Swift’s longtime music video collaborator, added fuel to this fire when he tweeted these two things on Monday:

To top it all off, radio stations are also teasing that something big and Swift-related is happening today:

But. What. Is. Happening? Honestly, who knows at this point? Fan theories like this are ridiculous in by nature, but that’s what makes them so fun. Let’s just bask in this pop-music circus, shall we? That is, after all, what Queen Taylor Swift wants.
