interview started gaining attention after Emily Ratajkowski reshared a TikTok calling out the sexist nature of the questions Taylor was asked. The interview clip in question was  and shows a young Taylor Swift, whose media narrative at the time was centered around the boys she did or did not date, trying to refuse participation in a game Ellen Degeneres proposes. The “game” required the singer to watch a slideshow of herself with famous men and ring a bell at the sight of a current or former boyfriend.After polite attempts to mask her discomfort, a clearly flustered Taylor says, “I don't know if I'm gonna do this.” Then, as the photos shuffle on the screen, Taylor awkwardly remains still, not ringing her bell for any of them before eventually shouting at Ellen to stop the game.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor If nothing else, $44 billion has bought Twitter power-user Elon Musk status as the No. 1 most-followed account on the social network. As of Thursday morning, Musk had 133.088 million users — up more than 20% since he closed the Twitter deal last October. That pushed the billionaire ahead of the previously most-followed account, that of Barack Obama, who currently has about 133.042 million followers. (To be sure, this is according to the public counters operated by Twitter, which Musk controls.) Musk, a self-proclaimed free-speech “absolutist,” is notoriously fond of posting memes and jokes on Twitter. (Prior to his acquisition, according to Twitter’s legal team, Musk also used the service to disparage the company and its employees.) Musk has claimed he did not buy the company “to make more money” but to “try to help humanity, whom I love.” He also has said he was “obviously overpaying” for Twitter.

Elon Musk has defended his Twitter subscription plan after it was criticised by Star Trek actor William Shatner.After acquiring the social media platform in late 2022, the billionaire introduced Twitter Blue, a service that allows anyone to purchase a blue tick/verified account for a monthly subscription fee.Previously, blue ticks were typically given to notable accounts, such as high-profile figures, celebrities, major companies, politicians and members of the media.However, as part of his new plan, Musk has warned that these “legacy accounts” – those who received blue ticks before his takeover – will lose their verified status unless they pay the monthly subscription fee.“Hey @elonmusk, what’s this about blue checks going away unless we pay Twitter?” Shatner tweeted Musk on Saturday (March 25).“I’ve been here for 15 years giving my [time] & witty thoughts all for bupkis. Now you’re telling me that I have to pay for something you gave me for free? What is this-the Colombia Records & Tape Club?”In defence of his new program, Musk wrote: “It’s more about treating everyone equally.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic When it comes to the surprise-songs portion of each night’s show on the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift fans probably should have seen one of Friday night’s two picks coming. Of course she was going to honor the opening day of release for her friend Lana Del Rey’s new album by performing the song that the two of them wrote together for Swift’s most recent album. But before she did that, Swift gave Del Rey’s Friday release, “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd,” all the “promo” that a fellow artist could ask for, calling it “brilliant” and urging the approximately 60,000 fans gathered at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium to stream or buy the new album.

One in nine people and one in six children in Arizona struggle with food insecurity, according to Shoemaker.A few days later, a food bank in southern Nevada, Three Square, revealed that Swift had also left them a large donation ahead of her ‘Eras’ gigs in Las Vegas last night (March 24) and tonight (March 25).“We don’t know about you, but we’re feeling grateful on this day, March 22!” the organization wrote on its official Instagram feed.

Gwyneth Paltrow is taking the stand.

Gwyneth Paltrow is countersuing Terry Sanderson for $1 following his claims that she intentionally injured him during a 2016 ski collision, an amount that lawyers wonder was inspired by Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift resumed her ‘Eras’ tour last night (March 24) at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium and took a request from opening act Beabadoobee.Swift kicked off the run of shows last week with a mammoth 44-song set that pulled from across her back catalogue. She played a similar set last night with the exception of the “acoustic surprise” portion of the night.Speaking to the crowd about that section of the set, Swift explained: “I thought for this tour, it might be fun to have a section where I would play different songs every night and it would just be me, you, a guitar and a piano.
