What’s New? The Latest in Music, Movies, and TV

What’s new? I’ve been enjoying the summer and thinking about you. Whenever I see a star shining or fan stargazing, I can’t help but get excited. I was inspired to create a Twitter Community which you’re welcome to join. It’s called Stars & Fans. I haven’t personally invited anyone because I want organic growth. If you want to help, I would appreciate it.

I love entertainment even though there’s a fair share of haters. The haters don’t see it the same way as the lovers. Are you a lover or a hater?

Music, movies, and TV are mechanisms of soulful productions. Every song, film, and show do something to the spirit. Without music, movies, and TV our society would be at a severe disadvantage.

I’ve been blogging now for nine years and am still learning a lot about stars and fans. One thing I know is that a common thread unites stars and fans. It’s a trek not a war. Or in the words of H.E.R., it’s the journey. Nowadays, celebrities walk a tightrope and the statement that it’s a thin line between love and hate couldn’t be further from the truth.

MUSIC

Many musicians are on tour right now. Snoop Dogg tweeted on July 5: “Tour time.” Of course, I retweeted. Doggystyle turned 30 years old. To this day, I play songs from the album. Can you believe that?  “What’s My Name?” He has hot lines. Snoop is one of the best rappers.

Did you know Taylor Swift added fourteen more dates to her tour? When her tour first started, she was only touring the United States and Argentina. Going to concerts in the summer seems like a fantastic idea. Also, Harry Styles is doing it big.  

Don’t forget about Drake either. Drake held a concert in Detroit and got fined over $225,000 according to All Hip Hop for staying past curfew. And Cardi B is back at it again in the studio writing and releasing new music. She’s a force in rap and fashion, you better believe it.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One comes out soon. In 2 days everywhere, the results will start trickling in and we’ll have some monster numbers. How do you think it will do at the box office? I’ve said before that Tom Cruise can’t lose. @MissionFilm should’ve put DJ Khaled’s All I Do Is Win on their soundtrack. Also, I might see this movie three times. 

Barbie: Are you excited about seeing Margot Robbie shine in the film? Have you heard Billie Eilish’s song What Was I Made For? The full song, which is a part of Barbie’s soundtrack, will be released in 3 days. 

Oppenheimer: Do you want a motion picture experience like no other? Oppenheimer is expected to give the audience a bang for their buck. Director Christopher Nolan’s $100 million film stars a dream cast. J. Robert Oppenheimer was a real man who made a real impact on the world. That’s why it’s important for the story to be told the right way. Going back to World War II days and retelling events requires a dynamic vision.

TV

I wanted to write about what’s new on TV but because of the Writer’s Strike there’s really nothing new. Do you know how much I was looking forward to seeing Pete Davidson return on Saturday Night Live as host? 

So, there you have it. That’s what’s new in music and movies. Of course, I could have blogged about more topics, but I’ll leave it there. Who wants to read a wordy blog? It’s about making your words count, not the word count. In the meantime, you can find me on Twitter and Instagram. For what it’s worth, I haven’t joined Threads.

Taylor Swift Is Back Better and Bigger Than Ever

Yesterday, Taylor Swift began The Eras Tour. You’ve been living under a rock if you haven’t heard about this tour. Come out of that cave and read a great blog today. 

Thank you for visiting my website. I appreciate your support. Every like, comment, and share helps.

Taylor Swift tickets 

As you may know, Taylor Swift tickets broke the Internet. Previously, Ticketmaster had problems fulfilling pre-orders. It was such a huge disaster that the company issued an apology. Now the situation’s all fixed and Swifties can purchase their tickets without a hitch.

Are you a Swift fan? Will you see her live in concert? Have you listened to her latest albums?

I’ve listened to Lavender Haze and Midnights. This is some of her best work. You can tell the star’s been hard at work on her craft. 

It’s safe to say Taylor Swift is one of the top singers in the world. The 33 year-old musician beat a million odds and became great. Everywhere fans are ecstatic about The Eras Tour.

Wasn’t the Wait Worth It?

Today, I will blog about my expectations of the tour and thoughts about this celebrity’s new music. Nowadays, it’s getting harder and harder to please fans. The truth is you can’t make everybody happy. However, you can work on fine-tuning your talent and gift.

Taylor Swift is truly talented and gifted. That talent and gift has been established for about 15 years. One song that comes to my mind on her new album is Lavender Haze. Maybe you’ve seen the music video. What do you take away?

To me, the song means that everything must come to a standstill and people must recognize reality for what it is: anything you want. For instance, there’s a verse where she sings everybody sees me as a one night or a wife. Those are some powerful lyrics written by Taylor Swift and true.

Society puts people in categories and expects them to conform and play roles. Swift is using her new music to break free out of the box. Taylor Swift can literally be anything you want.

I would argue we’ve not only turned celebrities into villains but fantasies. The image we see on the screen or even in person is not necessarily real.

My takeaway is this is her time as well as everybody else’s. In fact, the main message behind her music is that this is her time. But she’s leaving the ego out of it all by also suggesting this is our time too.

There are plenty of Swift songs to enjoy. Snow on the Beach and Maroon are two of my favorites. I love Lana del Rey singing the duet.

In total, The Eras Tour will consist of 52 shows from March 17 2023 to August 9, 2023 located in the United States and Argentina. I know Argentina will be excited to see the star. To sum it up, I expect greatness from her in every show.

Perhaps, Anti-Hero is the most popular song from the Midnights album. How many times do we root for the villain in movies? Check out the Anti-Hero music video and ask yourself, have we turned musicians into villains? The video highlights human nature with different character tropes such as the daughter-in-law and the son.I like the lyrics of the song too.  

Did you see her at the Grammys dancing with Bad Bunny? Over the years, I’ve seen this star shine brightly and become big. Now, Taylor Swift is back better and bigger than ever. 

This blog post tried to capture the magnetism of that opening night. Today, I blogged about yesterday and tomorrow. We don’t know what surprises are in store but we’re going to have a great day in the meantime.
