A new mix of Foxes “Glorious” is going to be used as the opening theme of the series, the album is set to released by the start of October of this year in some countries of Asia.
TAYLOR SWIFT TAKES OVER GOOGLE
Taylor Swift and Paige Elliot released their second collaboration together earlier this week, titled 'Psycho', a song that describes the toxic relationship between a female and male who are the farthest thing from being good for each other. Even though both blonde beauties have denied it being about their own personal experiences, we can only begin to wonder if the girls feel like they can relate to it in any way.
With much promotion done for the song (mainly by Swift) over the past week, it seems as if the promo has yet to stop. From countless performances, TV appearances, radio interviews, and magazine spreads the girls are still at it promoting. This morning on the front page of google was the single cover for 'Psycho' along with a special link to Google's music store where you could download the song for the price of $0.99. The artwork was shown to over 200 million people just today as Google averages that amount daily. A lower price than iTunes since no one really uses Google's music store. The song boosted Google Play's traffic as the song doubled the sales of the top ten on Google play. The song is available currently and is expected to have a strong debut on the charts.

NEW YORK TIMES INTERVIEW
One of the United State's finest treasure was interview by the New York Times earlier this week when Swift happened to be in New York City to reveal the artwork for her single 'Psycho' which she happens to feature on. The interview was printed into Friday's issue where Swift covered the front page, reering in more issues read than usual as many New York Times officials noticed the shortage of copies all over the US. Swift did a short photoshoot for the New York Times as her picture was on the front page of the paper. Below is the picture used along with some of the questions from the interview.
Here you are Ms Swift in our office in New York City. How are you feeling today?
I'm feeling quite comfortable and at home, really. There's always that constant feeling of hunger that I have but I'll be able to manage for the lovely people here at the New York Times.
There's no wonder your America's Sweetheart with the charm you have.
Oh thank you so much.
So Taylor, you've released six albums, you're about to release your seventh. What exactly is going to set this album apart from the first six?
If you listen to my albums one by one you realize that each one sound nothing like each other. I try to keep it like that with every album and this one wasn't really any different. I'm always exploring and experimenting with different sounds so you can really expect something new and fresh sounding from me. I try to step out the box as far as I can when it comes to making a project that will forever be apart of my career.
Are there any muses or inspirations you had for this album?
I would definitely list artists like Banks, Foxes, and even Giorgio Moroder as influences for the record. I can't really describe the sound of it exactly but it's definitely a blend of those artists works but with a bit of my own touch. I don't want to make an album that sounds exactly like some of their albums. I want to really capture my own sound with the songs on my albums.
Your songwriting ranged much more on Coven 13 than your previous albums? Did you follow that up with this record?
Always. This album still adresses the topic of love but it's in a much more mature and understanding way. As I grow I constantly find my music growing with me too. I find myself facing more challenges than just love. I worry about things other than love now. So those things that I face, if it's my insecurity, fears, or other people's stories, I write. That's how it works.
You said you write more for yourself rather than your albums? Do you still find that true?
Always. I will always use songwriting as a way of venting. If all this, the fame and success were gone tomorrow, I would still write music. Music helps me, not only me, but everyone get through things. Music is who I am.

Ariana Accepts Judging Role
The Voice Kids is making it's way to the U.S. and Ariana reportedly accepted the offer the judge on the show. The Voice Kids has been a phenomenon in Europe and is finally coming to America. The show offered her $18,000,000 for a 3 season contract. She eagerly accepted the offer and ready to start the 1st season. The show will begin filming this fall and will air on FOX.
Despite the single being out for a week, with the video being confirmed to come out soon almost every day now, the video was put on delay until now due to errors with both Taylor Swift's and Paige Elliot's labels. However, now, the video has officially premiered on Elliot's VEVO account. As part of the promotion for the video, it's also being broadcast in New York City's Times Square megatron with the audio playing audibly throughout the area as well.
Directed by Francis Lawrence, the video uses the metaphor of a toxic relationship by showing Elliot and Swift attempting to kill their lover. The video is notable for showing the two in the same situation (even with the same lover), in identical surroundings and circumstances for the most part of the video with the exception of a few scenes.
The video opens up to Paige in a bedroom, dressed rather formally and standing before a mirror. The music isn't playing yet, and all that's heard is the sound of her quietly humming to herself. She seems to be getting ready for something, and she touches her face a lot as if she's concerned with it. A cut is made, showing Taylor doing the exact same things; the girls do identical things in this scene, and throughout the entire video, doing exactly the same thing as each other.
Taylor moves over to the kitchen, and it appears she has food cooking. She prods at a steak on the grill, and slices off a small amount to taste it. She seems happy with it. As she begins to set table placings down on a large, enormous dinner table in an extravagant dining room, the song begins, though subtly in the background with the natural noises of the footage playing over them. The twangy guitar of the intro plays on loop, repeating the 5-10 second melody over and over as the video cuts to Paige finishing placing the settings and then beginning to put the food onto the table. There's the sound of a door opening and closing, and it cuts to Taylor looking up and smiling while saying "Welcome home, honey!"
The song actually begins, taking over the audio as the man Taylor welcomes in is revealed to be Alexander Skarsgard. He's clearly married to her, and he doesn't show much emotion to her as he sits down at the dinner table. Taylor runs over to the kitchen and appears to pour rat poison into a glass of wine before bringing the wine over to Alexander to drink. The video cuts to Paige, who smirks as she sits down and watches him about to take a sip of the wine. Alexander suddenly, dumps out the wine, reaching in front of him to a glass of water as Paige looks a bit disappointed.
Paige then gets up, walking over to Alexander as the pre-chorus goes on, where she proceeds to give him a kiss on the cheek while picking up a carving knife. She holds it in her hand, resting her arm on his shoulder as she stands behind him, kissing the back of his head. Alexander quickly grabs her arm, twisting it around and forcing her to drop the knife.
The video cuts to Taylor, who seems like she's in extreme pain as a result of the action Alexander just pulled.
The chorus suddenly begins, and the video cuts to a new shot, showing Taylor outside on a gray, muggy day, dressed in a white dress and looking rather depressed as she sings the chorus. She walks around a field, which slowly becomes a dark, eerie forest as she continues to sing over the ethereal instrumental, giving the camera a dark stare.
As the bridge begins, the video cuts back to Paige, who is now sitting as her husband begins to cut up the steak she made. He then makes an obvious attempt to stab her, to which Paige responds by grabbing his arm and stabbing the knife into the table. She rolls her eyes and begins to walk away.
The video cuts to Taylor, who peers around a corner as Alexander begins to walk away. The video shows a closeup on the floor of the hallway Alexander is walking down, revealing there's a bear trap on it. Alexander scoffs at the bear trap, then kicking it away as he proceeds to walk over to the bedroom.
The video returns to Paige, who walks into the bedroom with him and whispers something in his ear. He seems to smirk at this, and it cuts to him tied up, almost naked, as Paige is in lingerie above him.
As the chorus begins again, it cuts to Taylor in the same position, as she begins to attempt to strangle Alexander with a piece of fabric while he's tied up. As Alexander struggles for his life, the color of the film begins to fade, becoming less and less saturated. It stops before it becomes completely black and white, but the effect is stunning. Finally, Alexander stops struggling, and Taylor gets off of him, walking over to the mirror in the bedroom again. She looks at the reflection, but instead of it being her, it shows Paige, mirroring Taylor's actions. The two look at each other in the eyes as the chorus ends, and they look as if they're without hope.
As the whole middle 8 begins, the video cuts to a solo shot of Paige, sitting in a white and grey room, wearing a white dress. The shots are trippy, coming in at weird angles, but Paige doesn't seem to move from her spot on a white seat at all as the camera begins to go insane.
The video returns to the identical situations between Taylor & Paige, with Paige as the focus again, showing her get dressed in a skinny black dress and a large fur coat. She looks back at the deceased Alexander, and runs out of the apartment. As she exits the apartment, it cuts to Taylor, who runs out of the building and out onto a snowy winter street. Everything is dark, with barely anything but the snow and Taylor visible. As the final chorus begins, on repeat, it just shows Taylor walking, cutting to Paige when she sings the chorus, and back and forth. The visual begins to fade out as the song does as well, bringing an end to the video.
As further promotion for the collaboration single "Psycho", the song was given a TV spot that began airing on all stations as of last night. The TV spot, while short, was effective in its purpose, playing the chorus of "Psycho" on repeat (featuring the original chorus instrumental with Paige's vocals as well as Taylor's, a new edit never before heard) as it showed the cover, informing the viewers about the song in all ways necessary.
The TV spot is to continue to air for the following two weeks.
