Since then, their friendship has only deepened. And now Swift has detailed just how chummy they are. "We've gotten matching Scottish folds, made each other arts and crafts Christmas presents, vacationed with our families, and had each other's backs," she said.
She went one step further and described their creative friendship in terms of two classic singer-songwriters. "He is the James Taylor to my Carole King and I can't imagine a time when he wouldn't be," she said. Read more

The new project is scheduled to be released in June. The singer's debut album, Badlands, peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold 1.14 million albums according to Nielsen Music. Almost half of those were from physical album sales.
The artist, who had an acting cameo on Cameron Crowe's Roadies in 2016, has also achieved notable success with her feature on The Chainsmokers' "Closer." See her post

At just under three minutes, "Liability" is a short but powerful statement. With only Lorde's vocals and a piano forming the entire track, she lays it bare on the chorus. "So they pull back, make other plans/ I understand, I'm a liability/ Get you wild, make you leave/ I'm a little much for ev- / Everyone," she sings, playing with the last word.
On the second verse, she knows that everything she does to attract romance or any kind of relationship ends poorly because she can't keep the facade up for long. "The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy/ 'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore/ And then they are bored of me," she sings. Check it out

On the other, Kanye's outbursts make it very hard. The pair serve as both peers and foils to one another: Drake's focused, organized ascent to the top versus Kanye West's peaks and valleys of creative, personal and public turmoil.
Given the context, it's sort of funny that Drake wore a fan-made Kanye mask during a recent show in Copenhagen, Denmark Tuesday night. The "Hotline Bling" rapper accepted the gift and made a quick joke about his new accessory.
"I got the Yeezy mask now," Drake said in a fan video. "Ya'll can't f� with me tonight, now." Check it out

"It's a Vibe," guest stars Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz, and Jhene Aiko. The song was leaked Wednesday (March 8) morning, but 2 Chainz had the songs removed from Soundcloud and tweeted a response to the leak.
"It's a leak � bout to regroup�. 2 new records dropping tonite since somebody wanna be a #vibekiller leakin my sh�," he wrote. Listen to both new tracks

One disgruntled fan posted the following tweet, "while I'M AT IT, i'm gonna need an album soon because i'm getting tired of letting the 20/20 Experience play. I need some new JT!!"
Justin replied that new music is "on the way." JT also rose above the Beyonce vs. Adele debate to crown his own favorite album of 2016. "While I'm at it�" he wrote, "Frank Ocean had the REAL Album Of The Year with BLONDE.#NotFakeNews." Read the full series of tweets

In his Instagram post, .Paak shares, 'Freedom means no fear. Being fearless and being able to express is freedom. When I'm on the drums that's like freedom for me."
He also talks about the spirituality of writing songs. "I feel I'm closer to God when I do music, so I feel like I can do extraordinary things." The multi-instrumentalist recently teamed up with Grammy winner Pharrell Williams to cover Thundercat's 'Them Changes" via Pharrell's OTHERtone Radio Show. Read more

The forthcoming track sounds like a banger in the clip. "I took my roof off at the red light/ I took my roof off at the red light/ Trap trap trap trap trap trap," Ross raps on the chorus.
He's tapped several big names for his latest album, including Chris Rock, Future, Ty Dolla $ign and Nas. Then, of course, there's his boy Meek Mill. Rather You Than Me drops March 17th. Check out the tracklist and teaser of "Trap Trap Trap"

She even has a writing credit on Linkin Park's new single "Heavy," which features Kiiara. "In the 'Issues' video, I'm going through flashbacks from the night before with my boyfriend after waking up alone," said Michaels in a statement.

The track appears on Paul Shaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band's forthcoming eponymous album. David Letterman's house band last released an album 24 years ago, and they're back this year with special guests Murray, Shaggy, Darius Rucker, Jenny Lewis and more.
The first release capitalizes on a long friendship. Shaffer and Murray first partnered during Saturday Night Live's early years and Shaffer played piano on Murray's Netflix special A Very Murray Christmas.
Paul Schaffer & The World's Most Dangerous Band drops March 17. Check out the album's tracklist as well as the video for "Happy Street"

For the finale of Stella McCartney's collection, the models assembled on the runway in a circle, arms raised and repeatedly chanted, "Faith. Love." In addition, Natalia Vodianova danced in her front-row seat. Throughout the presentation the crowd cheered loudly in appreciation.
Michael, whose "Freedom" video featured fashion models Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, died December 25 at age 53. Watch the spirited tribute

"I had an eating disorder that threatened my life, and was very afraid to confront it," she wrote. 'I got sicker and the whole world kept telling me how much better I looked. That's why I realized I wanted to be a part of the solution."
In bombshell alleged emails from producer Dr. Luke, Kesha and her team were told: 'A-list songwriters and producers are reluctant to give Kesha their songs because of her weight." Dr. Luke says that the emails were taken out of context.
Nevertheless, Kesha continues to use her unique (and still unresolved) position to advocate for others. "It's time to talk about eating disorders This #NEDAwareness Week, Get screened at http://nationaleatingdisorders.org/screening," she wrote. Read more

"Had Enough" was inspired by a veteran friend whose tank was hit by an IED. She began writing songs as a way of therapy. She said, "Since beginning to write songs, my nightmares are not what they used to be." She is a hero and she inspired this song.
This song is about leaving. I don't need to be with someone to be happy, but here I am, living with someone, getting in fights, wasting my time, losing sleep, growing nothing.
"And I kicked against the pricks/ just to fall upon a rose/ I watched her bloom before me and I watched her close"
This song is about letting go of the things you think you need. It was a hard lesson to learn. I seem to keep having to learn this lesson.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album
