This is the type of thing that should’ve been in the #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl release party movie.

It sure looks like AI was used in these #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl promotional videos, unless Taylor Swift has learned a new alphabet and retroactively redesigned the surprise song piano. (Though, as a caveat, it’s unclear how involved she is in this scavenger hunt and how much of it is Google.)

I’m glad #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl turned out to be good because I have eight vinyl variants and four signed CDs in the mail 🙂‍↕️

Screenshotting the current top twelve songs on my Apple Music Replay since they’re probably all going to be replaced by #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl by the end of the year.

I was honestly prepared to have to sit with #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl for a few days before it clicked, because I did with both Midnights and TTPD, but no… this is an all-timer pop album from the first listen.

Taylor Swift has officially given us Pop Bible 2.0 with #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl. This is a completely new sound for her, not an iterative evolution or rehash of anything she’s done before. Not a single skip from beginning to end. An instant classic.

The implications of “we tell the world to leave us the fuck alone and they do” being on Taylor Swift’s wish list. #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl

“Turns out my dick’s bigger.” — Taylor Swift, 2025 #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl

If this whole album is as good as these first few tracks then we officially have Pop Bible 2.0 on our hands courtesy of Taylor Swift. #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl

Locking in my prediction that if the grand finale of the rollout for #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl was the signed CDs (or the movie), there will still be an encore where every variant, deluxe edition and signed copies are restocked and available at the same time.

Billy Joel famously stopped putting out music for decades because he wanted to go out on top rather than watering down his legacy. #TaylorSwift

Not confident in this theory at all but what if the reason there was no signed vinyl for #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl is because the pre-pre-order ones are going to come signed to keep them out of the hands of scalpers 👀

It’s an interesting choice to make four different signed variants of #TSTheLifeOfAShowgirl but give them all the same cover with no distinguishing characteristics on the exterior. Also interesting to not have any of the signed inserts match that cover photo.

If you’re confused about how Zach Bryan and John Mayer are about to play the largest concert in U.S. history, it’s because they’re performing at a college stadium that, while very large, most major acts don’t visit because it’s not equipped to easily handle their production.

Jimmy Kimmel mentions Lansing during his second monologue back on the air. His show is being preempted by the Nexstar-owned affiliate in Michigan’s capital city.

Jimmy Kimmel responds to Donald Trump: “You can’t believe they gave me my job back? I can’t believe we gave you your job back.” “He does know bad ratings,” Kimmel says as he displays Trump’s approval ratings on screen.

Kimmel calls Erika Kirk saying she forgives her husband’s murderer “a selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow. “It touched me deeply,” he says as he again gets choked up. He says if we take one thing away, it should be that.

Kimmel responds to Trump saying he doesn’t get ratings: “I do tonight!” “You almost feel bad for him,” he says. “He tried to get me canceled, instead he forced millions to watch my show. That backfired bigly.” “He might have to release the Epstein files to distract from this.”

Kimmel gets choked up when he says “it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.” He says he has loved ones on “the other side” and that Charlie Kirk’s murderer doesn’t represent any group.

Kimmel: “I’m not sure who had a weirder 48 hours — me or the CEO of Tylenol.”

Kimmel: “If you are just joining us, we are preempting your regularly scheduled encore of Celebrity Family Feud to bring you this special report.”

ProMotion (1-120hz) and Always On Display coming to the base model iPhone is the biggest upgrade the standard models have seen in a while. #AppleEvent

Taylor Swift making the photographer who took her engagement photos sign an NDA means any of us music photographers can vaguely imply it might have been us.

Is everyone just going to ignore the power dynamics of Taylor Swift marrying her backup dancer?

Taylor Swift mentions @detroitlions.bsky.social quarterback Jared Goff in her appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights, where she also unveiled her 12th studio album, #TSTheLifeofaShowgirl.

There’s currently a 35 minute queue to pre-order an album that has no release date, track list or cover art. #TaylorSwift #TheLifeOfAShowgirl

Jonathan Groff ran by me wearing a Speedo and carrying a large rubber duck. It was my first time seeing a show on actual Broadway. (Highly recommend “Just In Time” if you have the chance to see it.)

Watching Motown legend Martha Reeves perform for a crowd of maybe 50 people in Detroit while Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein played congas has to be pretty high on the list.

Regardless of motivation, it is pretty shocking that CBS would just torch the entire institution of The Late Show and not even attempt to replace Stephen Colbert.

HBO should offer him a blank check. John Oliver and Stephen Colbert would be a pretty killer late night lineup.

I saw this post as I was walking into the IMAX for my #Superman  screening and then they only played one trailer: The Cat in the Hat.

James Gunn has made an earnest and faithful #Superman adaptation. It lacks some of the style and heart of the Guardians of the Galaxy films and The Suicide Squad/Peacemaker, but it's not surprising that Gunn would play it a bit more safe when dealing with the most iconic character of all time.

Lots of iOS 26 features that didn’t get screen time during the #WWDC25 keynote, including natural language search for messages, estimated time to charge and custom snooze length for alarms.

“This work needed more time to reach our high quality bar,” Craig Federighi says of next-gen Siri features that were announced during last year’s keynote. He takes a victory lap for the Apple Intelligence features they did ship on time. #WWDC25

Apple has officially made it to the #WWDC25 keynote without shipping some of the biggest features they announced at last year's keynote and continue using to market their devices.

My hot take on the #TonyAwards is that if it’s truly about uplifting and honoring talent and art, there should be awards for local talent (like the Emmys) and international/West End shows (like the Oscars). Theatre can, should and does exist outside of a few blocks in New York.

The energy for the Hamilton OBC reunion was amazing, but I think I would have preferred if they stuck to one or two songs rather than only doing ten seconds of each. #Hamilten #TonyAwards

Non-Stop ✅ Mashup ✅ #Hamilten #TonyAwards

They’re actually having Cynthia Erivo sing people off stage at the #TonyAwards if they speak too long rather than having the orchestra play them off, that wasn’t just a bit 😭

Apple Intelligence knows what’s up. Jonathan Groff! Jonathan Groff! #TonyAwards

Realizing that Jonathan Groff has to play both Bobby Darin and King George at the #TonyAwards tonight. (And hopefully give an acceptance speech as well.)
