Are the writers of Jeopardy! Swifties? The most recent episode of the game show featured an entire round of trivia with categories inspired by Taylor Swift’s song titles and lyrics.
During the episodes, contestants were challenged to answer questions in categories titled “Love Story,” “Our Song,” “Bad Blood,” “Shake It Off,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” and “The Errors Tour.” While the questions were not Swift-related, the categories referred to multiple hit songs, as well as her blockbuster Eras Tour, which will resume later this year.

Taylor Swift has officially performed her final Eras Tour show of 2023 and she made a big announcement during the acoustic set.
The 33-year-old singer told fans at her Sao Paulo, Brazil show on Sunday (November 26) that she will be resetting her list of secret songs, aka surprise songs, for the 2024 shows.
During every show on the tour, Taylor performs two songs from her discography that are not on the regular set list. She told fans at the beginning of the tour that she will only repeat songs if she messed up the first time, or if they were from her first album Midnights.
We took a look through Taylor‘s list of songs and found only 46 songs that she never performed during the tour.

Willie Nelson is now officially a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Just don’t ask him what he has to do with rock & roll. “It’s been a long ride from my first DJ job to being here with y’all,” he said during his acceptance speech. “And as a DJ, I was playing those first songs by Elvis. I remember writers calling that ‘rockabilly’ rather than rock & roll, and I never did pay much attention to categories, and I’m not sure the fans did either.

Outside of her incredible music career, Taylor Swift is known for her close-knit support system of friends and family. The 12-time Grammy winner's friend circle includes stars like Blake Lively and Selena Gomez, but they aren't the only ones that have been cheering for Swift throughout her musical journey. Since she was a child, the "Anti-Hero" singer's parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, encouraged her love for music and pushed her to pursue her dreams of singing professionally.
"She was always singing music when she was 3, 5, 6, 7 years old," Scott revealed to the University of Delaware's UDaily. "It's Taylor doing what she likes to do."
According to People, Scott and Andrea married in Harris, TX, on Feb. 20, 1988, and welcomed Taylor into the world on Dec. 13, 1989. Along with her younger brother, Austin (born 1992), Swift was raised in a home on a Christmas Tree farm in Wyomissing, Pa. "It was such a weird place to grow up.

Taylor Swift’s concert documentary “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” was as brilliant in the theater as it was to witness from the nosebleeds of SoFi Stadium. I won’t say it was better because the collective effervescence of a concert cannot be created without an arena setting and thousands of screaming Swifties, but the film transported me.
The only expectations that weren’t met (because the unexpected is almost always expected from Swift) were those that imply she may hint at the next re-record — rumored to be “Reputation,” which came out originally in 2017 — or anything of that nature.
With the grand entrance Swift makes at the start of the concert memorialized on film in high definition, the “Eras” tour became cemented in history and popular culture.

Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” concert film premiered Wednesday night to an enthusiastic crowd of celebrities, fans and of course Taylor’s team, with the star of the film in attendance. As one of the first to see the film, TheWrap has the scoop on which songs from the wildly popular tour made the film, and which songs were cut.
After making speeches in multiple auditoriums for separate audiences, Swift, clad in a sky blue floral-patterned dress (probably in theme for “1989 (Taylor’s Version) with her hair pinned up like the signature bob she had when that album first came out), sat back to enjoy the experience in one of the IMAX screening rooms with her background vocalists and publicist Tree Paine.
The documentary runs 2 hours and 48 minutes, slightly shorter than Swift’s three-hour setlist and performance, which she has brought to 17 of the United States so far in addition to Mexico.

“When will Taylor Swift’s film career take off?” has been a question lurking in the back of a lot of people’s minds ever since she started getting her feet wet with bit parts in “The Giver” and “Valentine’s Day” … and then further limited herself to keeping her toes damp with “Cats” and “Amsterdam” cameos. But do we finally have an answer to that question now, or what? Nobody should suppose that “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” doesn’t count as establishing her as a movie star, just because it’s a straightforward rendering of an ongoing concert tour that’s soon to become the most successful in history. It’s 2 hours and 45 minutes of nearly nonstop acting, writ large for the back row of SoFi Stadium and, now, Imax and Dolby. What she might do with lengthy dialogue passages someday remains to be seen, but she’s...

Taylor Swift can make even a dark AMC shimmer.
Seated at the world premiere of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” in Los Angeles, California, the widely worshipped Grammy winner sang and danced her way through the concert film’s two hours and 48 minutes’ of songs — frequently mirroring the exact gestures seen on screen and pantomiming the use of a microphone to giddily perform for friends in her row.
“I wanted to say thank you for wanting to spend your evening with us. This is, as we would say, a core memory for me,” Swift beamed, before taking a seat(*) with a group of her fellow tour performers and actresses Keleigh Teller and Julia Garner. “Let me just preface by saying I’ve always had fun doing this.

Spoiler Alert: The post includes information about the playlist in the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film.
The live shows in Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour last about 3h 15m. Being about 30 min shorter, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film inevitably skips over a few performances (as well as shortens Swift’s costume change breaks and her fans’ standing ovations.)
The film’s premiere Wednesday night revealed which songs from the tour did not make the final cut. The list of omissions includes such hits as “Cardigan” (from the Folklore album) and “Wildest Dreams” (1989). Other songs from the concerts that are not included in the film include “The Archer,” “Long Live” as well as “No Body, No Crime,” which Swift performed at the Los Angeles shows with her opening act, Haim.

'Eras Tour' Movie Set List: Surprise Songs Revealed, Multiple Songs Missing From Taylor Swift's Film
Taylor Swift is bringing her Eras Tour to movie theaters around the world and the set list is actually a bit different than what fans saw during the live show.
The 33-year-old singer has been performing for more than three hours throughout the tour, with some shows reaching 3.5 hours or more. The movie clocks in at just around two hours and 48 minutes, so some content had to be cut.
Taylor‘s speeches in between songs have been cut down by a little bit and the transition visuals in between eras are almost non-existent, but the biggest change is the missing songs.
So, what’s the set list for the movie?

One may consider themselves lucky if they've managed to snag a ticket to Taylor Swift's sold-out Eras Tour, so there's no doubt fans will be documenting every moment of their experience on social media.
The best part about The Eras Tour is that Swift is revisiting songs from every last one of her 10 albums through the years. Whether you're a day-one fan whose favorite song is still one of her country classics like "Tim McGraw" or "Our Song," someone who has a soft spot for her pop anthems like "22" and "Blank Space," or you've grown fond of her folk lyricism in songs like "Cardigan" and "Willow," there's something for everyone on the Eras Tour.

Nelson dropped the track accompanied by a lyric video, with lush flowers blooming alongside each rollicking line: “I can tell my mama’s short on loving me/I guess that’s why she let me go so far,” he sings. “Mama tried to stop me short of stealing/I guess that’s why I had to steal that car.

Although the back half of the year is inevitably loaded with ambitious awards contenders and treasures from Sundance and Cannes (audiences have such festival breakouts as “Blindspotting” and “BlacKkKlansman” still to look forward to), 2018 has already brought a wealth of great movies, covering a wide range of genres and styles. Variety chief critics Owen Gleiberman and Peter Debruge look back at the most remarkable releases from the past six months, championing everything from well-meaning micro-indies to a pair of exceptionally well-made superhero tentpoles, to reveal that 2018 is off to a great start. How many of these cinematic marvels have you seen?

At first blush, Jim McKay may not seem like the poster child for diverse filmmaking: He’s a white guy who has spent the bulk of his career directing other people’s TV shows, from “Law & Order” to “The Good Wife.” But the New York filmmaker has consistently delivered astute dramas about the daily lives of underrepresented Americans long before widespread calls for inclusivity hit Hollywood. His new feature, the low budget crowdpleaser “En El Séptimo Día,” is just the latest example.
After his 1996 debut “Girls Town,” McKay won acclaim at Sundance for 2000’s “Our Song,” a Brooklyn-set coming-of-age story starring a young Kerry Washington and others as members of a community marching band in a low-income neighborhood. For his next projects, McKay went straight to television long before the era of Netflix Originals, directing the working class ensemble piece “Everyday People” and the social worker drama “Angel Rodriguez” for HBO.

Taylor Swift is set to release her sixth studio album, Reputation, on Friday, Nov. 10. And, regardless of your thoughts on the 27-year-old, she’s always had a way with words.
Which is why for months (years, arguably), die-hard fans, gossip lovers and even the media have been anxious to get a true glimpse into Swift’s life over the past three years.
Taylor Swift Drops Heartfelt New Single 'Call It What You Want' -- Listen!
The Grammy-winning artist has always let the music do the talking – it’s one of her greatest strengths. Heck, when she released 1989, she included packs of Polaroid photos in each hard copy – with a handwritten lyric from the album printed on each one. And we’re confident that this album will be no different. We’ve learned so much from the songs she’s already released -- not to mention the caption she left on an Instagram post on Aug. 25 after announcing the album:...

Back at the indie helm after a decade-plus of directing gigs for high-profile TV dramas, Jim McKay demonstrates with En el Septimo Día (On the Seventh Day) that his gifts as a filmmaker are as vital as ever. As with Girls Town and Our Song (which marked the feature debut of Kerry Washington), the day-to-day lives of working-class New Yorkers are the writer-director's concern, but this time he turns his focus from teen girls to a thoroughly engaging group of men, immigrants from Mexico who work six days a week and hit the soccer field Sundays. They're played by a...

The most satisfying aspect of “En El Séptimo Dia” (“On the Seventh Day”), Jim McKay’s first feature in 12 years, stems from the way it combines a simple premise with profound concerns. Set across one week in the life of a Mexican immigrant in Brooklyn, it harkens back to classic neorealist traditions by providing a window into the everyday challenges of a lower-class existence all too often ignored in mainstream cinema. At the same time, it positions the drama as a feel-good crowdpleaser, a rousing sports movie about characters trapped by their surroundings and galvanized by their communal spirit.
It doesn’t take long to establish the plight of José (Fernando Cardona, a non-professional newcomer like the rest of the cast), who works a bland job as the deliveryman at a Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens when he’s not leading his soccer team to a championship in...

If one wants to experience the best independent cinema the year has to offer this summer, one of your best bets is the well-curated line-up at Brooklyn’s BAMcinémaFest.

Alan Menken is far from being a newcomer at the Oscars, but this year the composer could be nominated or even win for a venture into the new territory of R-rated films. Having usually created award-worthy songs for Disney, Menken connected himself with a more mature project with Sausage Party and stands to win an Oscar for a song in a movie about weenies and buns.
This year Sausage Party’s “The Great Beyond” (which would be shared with Chris Lennertz for the animated venture written by and starring Seth Rogen) is considered a major threat in the best original song race, according to this site’s namesake Scott Feinberg. In the past, Menken has been nominated a grand total of 19 times with eight of those being wins. Let’s take a look back at what...

When it was first announced that Beauty and the Beast would be adapted for live-action, one of the first questions audiences had was whether or not the film would utilize the same songs as its animated counterpart. It didn’t take long for the nostalgia factory known as Disney to confirm that we would be seeing re-interpreted versions of our favorite songs, preemptively cementing the film as a must-see in 2017. If the amazing cast that consisted of Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans, Kevin Kline, and Josh Gad weren’t enough to get you into the theaters, these songs would be.
But don’t think that this film will be nothing of a simplistic rehash of the original film. In addition to using songs from the original 1991 animated classic, the new movie will feature three new songs as well, written by composer Alan Menken, who worked alongisde...

No surprise here.
Taylor Swift, 26, continues her reign of world domination as this year's highest-paid woman in music, according to Forbes. In its annual ranking, Swift's earnings between June of 2015 and 2016 are estimated at $170 million thanks to a record-breaking North American tour (all told, Swift is said to have pulled in more than a quarter of a billion dollars over the course of her global 1989 trek) and endorsement deals with mega-brands like Keds, Diet Coke and Apple.
Not only is Swift the top earner of this year -- she won the race by a landslide. Adele, 28, comes in at No. 2 with a still-impressive $80.5 million, the highest earnings of her career, due to massive album sales and a worldwide tour.

Not every movie has a white straight male protagonist. It just seems like that since that's Hollywood's default and also the preferred proxy of most (white straight male) auteurs.
But the times are finally a-changing. This weekend features the platform release of a mesmerizing new indie called The Fits -- please see it as soon as it opens near you. I was so proud to push for honoring it on my jury at the Nashville Film Festival. Fresh perspectives on the screen can be so exhilarating. That's especially true when the execution is this confident. Remember the debut director's name, Anna Rose Holmer, since we're hoping for more great movies to come.
In the meantime, let's take a trip back through other features with young black girls as the lead character. I haven't seen the first or the last movie on this list of nine below but the rest all...

Shot over a three-year period in Brooklyn, All This Panic offers a frequently disjointed look at the interior lives of several ordinary, middle-class Brooklynite teen girls as they search for meaning. This period is often quite innocent, despite the influence of drugs and parental mental illness, with immediacy rendered in bizarre aesthetic framing and frantic editing.
Directed by Jenny Gage in close collaboration with cinematographer Tom Betterton, All This Panic is largely a retread of teenage documentary and ethnographic narratives that have previously offered a more interesting study of New York City’s youth (Jim McKay’s Our Song and Mark Street’s little-seen Rockaway — also a Tribeca selection from 2005 — come to mind first). The girls being traced are never quite as interesting or engaging as Gage and Betterton believe them to be, navigating teen topics such as boys, drinking, tattoos, college, and eventually having a family. Opening as a diary of sorts,...

Today in 1979, They're Plaing Our Song opened at the Imperial Theatre, where it ran for 1082 performances. With a book by Neil Simon, lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, and music by Marvin Hamlisch, the musical is based on the real-life relationship of Hamlisch and Sager- a wisecracking composer finds a new, offbeat lyricist, but initially the match is not one made in heaven. The two undergo a series of trials and overcome a number of hurdles before finding true love by the final curtain. They're Playing Our Song is essentially a two-character show. Vernon and Sonia are the sole characters on stage each character has a three-person Greek chorus acting as their inner voices, and there are no big production numbers.

On their new single "Palest Pearl," promising Portland duo Pure Bathing Culture match a harrowing concept — how far would you be willing to go, and what would you be willing to lose, in order to achieve your wildest dreams? — with a fizzy, '80s synth-pop tune. The effect is twofold: On one hand, you may want to Carlton-dance your way through the infectious melody, led by Daniel Hindman's jangle-pop guitar line; on the other, close listens could send you into a contemplative spiral, thanks to the existential questions posed by singer Sarah Versprille. However it plays out for you, Vulture is pleased to exclusively premiere the song."Palest Pearl," off Pure Bathing Culture’s thoroughly lovely sophomore LP (Pray for Rain, out October 23 via Partisan Records), was inspired by the early 20th-century poet H.D.’s work “The Walls Do Not Fall,” from her collection Trilogy. “Our song isn’t...
