Taylor Swift‘s “Cardigan” is one of the most interesting No. 1 hits to come out in the past few years. While she’s a musical genius, Swift did not create the tune on her own. She revealed how the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic inspired her to work with a rock star. The “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” singer explained why “Cardigan” was different from some of her earlier music.
Taylor Swift’s ‘Cardigan’ was partially the result of self care
Swift has collaborated with numerous notable artists, including Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Calvin Harris, Shawn Mendes, and others. Several songs from her album Folklore were co-written by the rock star Aaron Dessner from the band The National. During a 2020 interview with Rolling Stone, Swift said she was a fan of The National. She discussed how she and Dessner created her song “Cardigan.”

WWE Home Video are pulling out of the physical media market after almost four decades in the industry.
The home entertainment market is in an odd place in 2023. While filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro and Christopher Nolan are singing the praises of the Blu-ray and 4K formats some distributors are pulling disc releases entirely.
That’s what’s happening over at Freemantle. Despite releasing VHS, DVD and Blu-ray editions of WWE programming for a whopping 36 years and having dedicated sections in many a local DVD shop, WWE Home Video’s final release will be the Crown Jewel 2023 2-disc DVD on the 18th December in the UK.
“With great sadness we must announce that WWE have taken the decision to withdraw from the Home Video category,” the company said in a statement. “No licensing deals will be renewed worldwide after 2023.”

While the favorites for the Drama Guest Actor Emmy contain a bevy of former Emmy winners, one of the leading contenders has yet to win his first golden trophy.
For decades, renowned British actor Charles Dance has been a familiar face on American television screens, particularly for his dastardly turn on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Having achieved fame onstage with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Dance achieved worldwide acclaim as Sgt. Guy Perron in the television miniseries “The Jewel in the Crown,” considered by many critics and viewers at the time to be the gold standard among miniseries. “Jewel” is merely one of the highlights in Dance’s four-decade career in film and television, the most notorious credit being his portrayal of Tywin Lannister, who was ignominiously killed by his dwarf son Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) while sitting on the toilet in “Game of Thrones.”

With a soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield that permeated pop culture, “Super Fly,” a crime drama directed by Gordon Parks Jr. about a black cocaine dealer, epitomizes the blaxploitation genre that lit up screens in the ’70s.
The remake, set for a June 13 release by Sony Pictures, aims to refresh the vibe. The new “SuperFly” once again follows a dealer who wants one final score before he gets out of the game. In the new version, helmed by Director X, the story takes place in Atlanta instead of Harlem.
Steeped in music videos, Director X was well-positioned to re-create a stylized and updated version of the original tale. To clothe the cast, he brought on costume designer Antoinette Messam.
When Messam and the helmer first spoke about the project late last year, the word “fantasy” was used a lot, says the designer, but she also felt she needed to stay grounded in reality.
