TAYLOR SWIFT X CAPITAL FM INTERVIEW/CONCERT
787


Taylor Swift has spent much of her time this week in the United Kingdom, in the wonderful city of London. The singer songwriter who’s managed to take the world by storm with her first ever greatest hits release, ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ is on a promotional tour this week to the cities of London, Paris, and lastly Los Angeles in support of promotion that’s been booked for promoting the album. With ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ selling over nine hundred and forty thousand copies last week, many fans and music executives have said the promotion is really unneeded as the album has already reached over two million and four hundred thousand copies in sales. “The album alone is just selling off of her name. If Taylor Swift did not and does not want to promote the album, it will be nothing but fine. It seems as if she and her label want to capitalize on the success as much as they can and really bring in the most sales as possible. As a label owner myself, I can say that I do not blame the singer. She’s a savvy business woman and one hell of an artist. This is just bad news for one of my artists who were thinking about releasing for a number one album this week, though” an RCA CEO would speak to Billboard, who was the first to report on ‘Yours: The Greatest Hit’s’ success.

In an interview, Taylor responded to the comment, sounding very intelligent and professional in her choice of words. “I absolutely am well aware of the fact that I could stop promotion right now and the album would still most likely reach the three million mark. But I do not want to just leave my album out there without justice being done to it completely. Leaving my art out there with no promotion is like sort of like in a way abandoning your child. I spent a lot of my time creating the songs on there over the years. So just leaving it out there, that’s not something I want to do. I’m going to promote as much as I can for as long as I can. There’s a difference between promoting hardcore or just promoting enough to keep your name out there and doing justice to your work. I’m doing the second option.”

Taylor Swift would also make a statement in her interview with Capital FM before taking the stage at their Capital FM Winter Concert. “You’ve really had an amazing year so far. You bought a brand new home in London, you’re vacationing constantly with your beau on Vancouver Island, your album is double platinum, with both singles platinum. How is it just talking all of it in, Taylor?” Taylor would give the girl a smile before nodding. “My life right now is great. I’m surrounded by my friends and family constantly. I’m traveling a lot with my free time which is really new. Even though I travel almost every day of the year to promote and work, I never really get the time to tour places and stuff but I really am finding myself having the time to. That’s just great. The new music is performing just stunningly and really this the time where I’ve felt the happiest in my life. There’s just so much good right her right now and I think that’s what’s really making me want to savor it as long as I can.”

The American pop star would also talk about her next upcoming album, one that’s been hyped as being a total change for the singer sonically, the former country pop star taking on an entire new sound in which she has teased as being “mature” and far more “folk and alternative” than people will probably expect. “The next album is really going to be a total career changer for me. It’s the farthest thing from pop music I’ve done because even when i was country with albums like my debut, Fearless, and Speak Now, I sort’ve had this pop influence in all of them. That’s totally gone here and you’re left with this very Fleetwood Mac esque sound that I’ve always loved and grew up on. It’s just an album that I’m really excited about and at the same time nervous because I don’t know how people are going to react to it. It could come very soon because right now the photo shoot for it’s been done, along with all the artwork. Right now, we’re just waiting for some recording time over the summer. It should be here early next year or even late this year. I’m really excited about honestly. It’s going to be an amazing and wild ride.”

TAYLOR SWIFT X DAYBREAK
722


Taylor Swift has spent much of this week traveling about the United Kingdom in the city of London. The American pop star and singer songwriter would arrive with her boyfriend who’s also a male model, Simon Nessman, at the London airport early yesterday morning where the two would greet fans with signatures and pictures before they’d head out to the first promotional spot of the day for Taylor’s little promotional tour for her album ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ which just had a massive sales week, selling over nine hundred thousand copes first week, the biggest sales week for an album in the past year and of easily of 2015. In an interview about the huge numbers, Taylor shook her head, totally surprised by the unexpected numbers. “I really wasn’t expecting the numbers at all. I remember one of my the people who works at the label telling me about the predictions for this week. They were around five hundred thousand copies sold if I remember correctly. I was really stunned by that and was grateful for those numbers. Then I get an email from Billboard and my mother’s texting me about how I basically sold one million albums in one week. That was really crazy. I was totally floored and really couldn’t believe it. Because after album’s been out for fourteen days, you’re not really expecting it to sell one million copies in just seven days after it’s been our for two weeks. It was just insane. The success has been just jaw dropping and I’m more than content and satisfied with it.”

The singer songwriter would tell that to Daybreak this morning before continuing on the interview as they’d ask her a few questions regarding her life and her brand new album. “Taylor, we know you’ve had a massive week selling over two and half million singles and albums in one week, wow just stunning. But we really want to know is, when exactly are we expecting you to release a brand new single. ‘Style’ and ‘Too Good To Lose’, which the latter you recorded with Justin have been out for awhile now. When are we getting something new on the radio airwaves?” Taylor would give a nod before shaking her head slightly. “I’m not really exactly sure. There’s so much going on right now.in the planning for what’s next. I’m sure you guys have heard about the reissue of the album coming out and really we’re trying to focus on the planning of release for that rather than releasing another single out there. We’re a team but we’re not a team that can work miracles. We also have to work with Eric on putting his album out along with his single. So as for now, there’s no new single but next week or the one after, there’s a strong possibility there may be a new single with a lot of new material following.”

The singer would then address the statements she made earlier in an interview Capital FM regarding the sound of her brand new album. “Tell us about the new album you’re now working on. Young Heartache you said was totally finished and was awaiting release but right now you’re working on a new album. The photo shoot is done and recording is about halfway through, you said?” The female interviewer on the couch would say as Taylor would grin, feeling excited about addressing the album. “A major inspiration for this album sonically and creatively has been Fleetwood Mac. From the sound to the photo shot I’ve done for it, it’s very dripped, very raw, very spiritual, and very personal. I think once people really see the magic I think I’ve created with the sound and the design, people are going to just fall in love with it. I’ve been confident in all of the albums I’ve released before but I’m more than confident in this one. This one is probably going to the definitive moment of my career musically. Commercially, I don’t know since I’m really leaving the pop genre behind but really I think this album has the best stuff I’ve ever written in my career. As for Young Heartache that’s still a planned release but that’s all I can say. I guess you can say it’s in a musical version of a movie’s production hell.”

From there the singer would give four performances on the show, two at the beginning of her two promotional singles and then closing the program with performances of ‘Style’ and ‘Too Good To Lose’.

Becky G Drug Use Video Leaks



Becky G has been out of the spotlight recently, mostly because she's serving her time in jail for attacking indie artist Jordan Sparks. This morning, however, the attention made it's way back to Mrs. G. A video of Becky and 3 other friends leaked online, and the contents of the video are shocking to say the least. In the video, Becky is seen downing shots of vodka, smoking from a crack pipe, snorting cocaine, and smoking a blunt of marijuana. Becky seems very **** faced after doing all of this stuff, and to be quite honest she is lucky to even be alive today. The date the video was shot is unknown right now, but it has been revealed Becky G will partake in an interview with Oprah Winfrey as soon as she is freed from jail later this week. The video will likely be discussed in this cut throat interview.

The videos leak has caused a shitstorm on the internet. Fans have been torn on if they should support Becky or not. The westboro baptist church has actually praised Becky G for her actions, oddly. After the leak of the video, Becky's Twitter gained nearly 3 million followers.

TAYLOR SWIFT X SPOTIFY
736


Taylor Swift’s career is at an all time high currently. The American singer songwriter has been setting the charts on fire with her latest releases such as ‘Style’, the lead single from the singer’s first ever greatest hits album. The song has already scanned platinum status and is looking to become the best selling single of 2015. Not too far behind is the singer’s collaboration with pop icon and legend Justin Bieber, a R&B fueled fiery collaboration that goes by the title ‘Too Good To Lose’. The song too would debut at the top of the singles charts, giving Swift her tenth number one hit overall, making her the female with most number one singles. Both songs from her greatest hits record that is titled ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’, they were more than likely going to boost the album sales. First week as just a Target exclusive, the album would sell per seven hundred thousand copies, making it the pop signer songwriter’s biggest first week sales to date. In the second week, she’d have four percent decrease from her opening week, managing to sell another massive seven hundred thousand copies. Third week is when people would start considering Taylor Swift’s selling power as an anomaly. The singer songwriter would embark on a promotional tour much smaller than the weeks previous but would sell even more than she would for ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ first week sales. The album would sell nine hundred and forty thousand copies in it’s third week, putting the album almost at the two and half million mark. “The success has really bewildered everyone around me. We knew the album would most likely scan platinum but really the highest expectation and goal we had for the album was for it to reach the double platinum mark. The fact it’s done so much and has scanned the double platinum mark in less than three weeks or even a month, is completely insane. The fans and supporters have really just made 2015 an incredible year. I can’t really thank them enough. The success has just been stunning. Thank you to everyone. I’m so thankful.”

Those were her words in an interview with a a British radio station earlier this morning. This afternoon the singer would visit a recording studio in the United Kingdom, in London. There she would film an exclusive concert session with Spotify, a streaming music company that she’s had a long history with. Regarding her relationship with the company, Taylor spoke to the media about it in an interview with the company today. “Spotify and I haven’t always been on the best of terms. I always have felt that artists should be fairly compensated for their work. I mean we artists, or those REAL artists, we put our heart and soul into creating the work that is personal and meaningful to us. Not getting the respect and compensation we deserve. That was what I didn’t like. Other streaming music services have fairly paid other artists for their work. Why can’t Spotify? I understand as a service they need to make money but my point still stood. But eventually Spotify and I came to terms and really we met in the middle. They agreed to raise the compensation for the streamed songs. I wasn’t asking them to just fix it all but really just to meet somewhere in the middle to make both sides happy. So I guess this little session right here is my little peace offering to them along with the singles being made available for streaming off the album. I’m really excited about it.”


From there the singer would start her concert session, performing some songs from her previous albums that included ’All At Once’, ’Coven 13’, ‘Coven 13: The EP’, ‘Electric Princess’ and ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’. She would perform thirteen songs in total for the session along with the interview being made to stream at the beginning of the playlist uploaded to Spotify for people to stream. A video version of the performances were also made available on Spotify, a rarity for videos to be made available. They were also uploaded to Spotify’s youtube channel.

TAYLOR SWIFT X BBC ONE MORNING SHOW
776


Taylor Swift has been in the United Kingdom for the past two days, embarking on promotion for her brand new record ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’, a record that has been a massive success for the American pop singer songwriter. In just 2015, the singer has managed to sell over five million albums and singles, marking it to be the most records sold in the shortest span of time for Taylor Swift. This week the album would push almost one million copies, making it her highest sales week to date and also snagging a second week at the the top of the albums charts for the pop star. The promotion for the album would continue today as the singer would make an appearance on BBC’s One Breakfast Show where she would also give four performances. The one hour show was dedicated to Taylor Swift as she’d open the program with two performances of her promotional singles and then would close the show with performances of her singles from ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’. The two singles would be none other than the lead platinum single from the record, ‘Style’ as well as the second number one single from the record ‘Too Good To Lose’, a song which features Canadian pop singer songwriter Justin Bieber who is around the world still promoting the song as well. She’d give a fifteen minute interview with the hosts before she’d close the show, the rest of the show being dedicated to other things like what’s going on in the United Kingdom and such. There was however a special segment where they would report on Taylor Swift’s staggering success with her albums, singles, and lastly tour, her concerts at Twickenham Stadium selling out almost instantly as the signer performed three dates at the massive venue.

BBC One Breakfast Show: You’ve experienced great success. With this album selling almost one million copies in just seven days or one week, what type of success are you expecting with the next record? It might me pretty hard to live up to the achievements of this record may it not?

Taylor Swift: You know with each record I’ve appreciated the success I had then in that moment. So really I think it’s best for me not to even worry about the success about what the record I’m going to be release will receive. Because the less I worry about it and the more attention and energy I put into promoting the record and really giving justice to the songs on the record, I feel the success will just come naturally. I let fate do it’s job. If the next record is less successful, that’s fine. If it’s a total bomb, that’ll be heartbreaking but fine, if it’s more successful than this album, that’d be incredible. But really overall, I’m just worried about making the album be the best it can be. I’ve had enough success in my career to afford one that’s sort of an underperformance.

BBC One Breakfast Show: As the new owner of Tigerlily Recordings, we bet you know a lot of future releases that aren’t only from you, yourself, but from your other artists too such as Eric Saade and Leona Lewis. Can you tell us anything that’s on the near horizon for them?

Taylor Swift: Eric’s new material is coming very very soon and I’m really excited for it. We just met with him actually to discuss all that’s going on, discussing the potential singles and such. We had a really hard time choosing between two songs to make the lead single but eventually I let him choose and he chose the one he feels would serve as the best lead single. I never want to be that person to make someone choose by force what the single’s going to be. Because I hated being in that position. But exciting stuff is on the horizon for him. As for Leona, she’s still working on her album. It’s taking forever I know, but she’s really making sure she wants to create the record that she’s dreamed of making. With her past label, she was never really truly allowed to do that.

BBC One Breakfast Show: Lastly, can you tell us some about the new artist you have been hyping up? When can we expect a release from them?

Taylor Swift: There’s an exciting new release coming up from a really new cool artist we signed. I’m really excited about it because it’s such an amazing song. People are going to fall absolutely in love with it. It’s dark and beautiful and it’ll actually be here much sooner than you think. Much much much sooner.

18. Pacemaker (Live)


During the very early hours of this morning, Bjork decided to official release her 9th studio album - Ekklisis. Finally! It is executively produced by herself although many names do pop up throughout the record, included (but not limited to) Kate Bush and Christina Aguilera. This is Bjork's first major release in quite a while with Ekklisis being the follow up to groundbreaking 2011 LP Biophilia which was innovatively released in a serious of applications that can be used on various devices, such as smartphones and tablets alike. Throughout her entire career, Bjork has always managed to push the boundaries of the music industry and even sometimes creating boundaries for herself. That is where her true artistry kicks in which is especially prevalent in her 2015 effort - Ekklisis. The album is heavily inspired by Ancient Greek philosophy, with schools of stoicism and cynicism being the main focus here a lot. This is definitely seen through the most recent promotional singles she released a few days ago in order to amp up the album's long awaited hype. These promo singles are called The Stoics and The Cynics which were later followed by Bjork's second single, Evangeline - a highlight track, we must say. Ekklisis is quite the handful to take in although it's definitely one of her more accessible albums. It's very introspective and vastly different from Biophilia which seemed to not focus on the personal aspects of life, such as thoughts and emotions. In addition, dreams are definitely a recurrent theme throughout the record although it's only ever subtlety hinted at since Bjork's material is never just as simple or as see through as a glass window. The length of the album totals around just under one and a half hours which might seem longer on paper but, trust us, it whizzes through pretty quickly which leaves you begging for more!

There will be a special edition of the record released next week as it was confirmed on Bjork's Facebook page a few days ago. She also included a message of thanks, especially to her fans and those who have supported her in every step of the way: "I'm so glad and it feels heartfelt for me to finally release Ekklisis to the world. For you guys! This has been a project I worked on for at least two and a half years coming now. I've been waiting for this moment ever since I wrote the lyrics for Arête, the lead single off of this record. We will be rolling out a lot of stuff in the coming months so definitely be prepared for that guys! I'm so pleased with the effort I put into Ekklisis. This is a very special part dear to me and it's great that I'll now be able to share that with you all. I promise to keep continuing my virtue and dreams of becoming a musician ever since I was a little girl in my homeland of Icealand. This means everything to me. Words can't express the joy that I feel within. I hope everyone recognises and acknowledges the heart and soul that is commonly interlaced throughout Ekklisis. I'm sure it will surprise many! Keeping you in my thoughts... thanks a lot." This message alone posted on Facebook and also on her other accounts on various social media platforms, such as Twitter and Instagram, garnered many likes and it seems as though people are actually responding exceptionally well to Bjork's 9th studio album - Ekklisis. By maintaining this popularity, it could be beneficial for Bjork in the long run since - with every new record she releases - the rest of her discography also gains some interest from those who wouldn't otherwise had checked her music out under pretty normal and typical circumstances.

Ekklisis is an extremely interesting record as it's heavily inspired by Ancient Greek philosophy which is especially prevalent in the singles she's released so far - Arête, The Stoics, The Cynics - with the exception of the unique Evangeline, of course, which serves as the second single from the album. In truth of it all, Ekklisis is nothing like Bjork has done before although that's very much expected at this point since she rarely ever delivers the same thing twice. We hope this record opens more people up to such a phenomenal musician in today's day and age.

Get a copy of Ekklisis - in stores now!

Bjork's second single, Evangeline, is now available for PURCHASE.

Also, please check out Bjork's promotional singles - The Cynics and The Stoics.

TAYLOR SWIFT X T4 SPECIAL
717


TTaylor Swift has taken the world by storm as of late, her first ever greatest hits album scoring a second non consecutive week as the best selling album in the world. The album has already shifted more than two and a half million copies, making it the singer songwriter’s best selling and fastest selling album to date, easily passing her previous efforts, ‘ Electric Princess’ and ‘Coven 13’, both of which were great successes for the singer as well. In fact, ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ has went on to sell more than ‘Electric Princess’ and ‘Coven 13’ combined, making it one of the fastest selling albums in the past three years as well. On the singles charts, Taylor Swift also is a major force, both singles off the greatest hits record ‘Style’ and the Justin Bieber collaboration ‘Too Good To Lose’ both soaring past the platinum mark, one right behind the other as possible contenders for the best selling single of 2015. As for there being another single from the record that will be out for a month this saturday, there seems to be nothing in the plans as the singer songwriter would finally address the situation in an interview with T4 in which she also perform an exclusive concert for. The concert would be fifteen songs long and would be filmed in a studio set in London. She’d perform some of her biggest hits including ‘Style’ and ‘Too Good To Lose’. But first here’s an exclusive look at the interview for the interview that came along with the T4 Special.

T4 Interviewer: You’ve had some incredible success as of late. Do you take success in account when making a record? Like do you ever just go, “I need this record to be successful, so I need to make this record really radio friendly. I need to work with this producer” or such?

Taylor Swift: Actually, no. Not when making the record at least. I know some artists who have to really keep that in mind when making a record because yes all labels are concerned with success. Most at least. But with me, I’ve grown up around the radio, pop music, country music, all different types of music. I was sort of blazed with this sort of gift for being able to write catch hooks and choruses. So really the commercial friendly stuff kind of comes naturally to me. Because of that I’m sort of faced with the situation where I have to make the songs sound really different and refreshing without it sounding like that generic pop music that has been released in the past. I’ve released some songs that can fall into that category but I wouldn’t release three albums in a row like that with like Dr Luke or whatever. That’s not me. So ever since RED, I’ve been really working with different producers to sort of create a different sound for myself with every album campaign. But if there’s ever a time where you have to take success into accountability, it’s when deciding the first single. I have, me, I have been in that situation before.

T4 Interviewer: If there’s a song off each album that’s the funnest to perform live. What would the songs be?

Taylor Swift: Off All At Once, I would definitely say ‘Girl With The Red Lipstick’. It’s such a fiery, sophisticated, and really fierce song to perform. Off ‘Coven 13’, I’d either say ‘Lose Me In The Dark’ or ‘Swarovski’, They both exude nothing but confidence and sexiness which I think I really capture me too, if I may say so myself. Then 1989, I would definitely say Blank Space is the funnest song to perform of 1989. It has so much personality and spunk. I absolutely love the power and punch behind it. Style is another fun one too. Then off ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ I kind of really am into performing ‘Nylon’. Basically all songs that show confidence, sexiness and such. Oh, ****, I almost forgot ‘Electric Princess’. ‘Sex Kitten’ for that one.

Cara on AGT
708 Words



Cara Delevingne performed on America's Got Talent last night promoting her latest album 'DIstant Horizon' from which she released so far various songs under single or promotion singles forms. 'La Belle' and 'Honey', both hit platinum certified singles, peaked inside the top 3 and are considered some of the biggest hits of the year, both songs are also within the top 5 highest selling singles of the year which makes Cara the only artist to do so, so far at least. Her new single 'Fall Out' is expected to do wonders on the charts and continue Cara's streak of Top 3 singles which seems to grow every few weeks, with brand new platinum singles. Cara's promotional singles from the album 'Kiss To My Heart', 'Once' and 'Distant Horizon' all showed or are showing success on the charts, especially the latter two, who are currently being promoted and who had music videos released a few days ago. Her singles received success in multiple places and charts around the world, and not only in the US, as Cara's album went #1 in over 20 countries and the three singles from it usually charted well in most countries around the world, all three even reached the #1 spot in countries such as the UK, France and Australia. Cara has also launched her own worldwide tour which was performed and will only be performed at stadiums, so far, the whole tour was sold out and the tour keeps on selling amazingly well with every single date.

For her performance on America's Got Talent, Cara Delevingne wore a beautiful black femme fatale leotard along with large black boots. Cara's hair was up in a wavy and very sexy ponytail which went great with the outfit and the dark, fierce and black make-up covering her face including the eyeshadow which created a great dangerous look for Cara. Her dancers were also wearing similar outfits and make up while Jay-Z wore a simple black outfit, and Jay-Z appeared with Cara for the performance like during most performances of the song so far as he had nothing to do and isn't promoting he's own solo material. The performance started by showing Cara walking at the center of the stage rapping the lyrics. Cara's dancers were forming straight lines on each of Cara's sides and they danced a military/army oriented dance during the whole rap song. During the chorus Cara joined in the choreography and danced in between the group of dancers formed making her part of those large groups and drowning her in the large amount of dancers. When Jay-Z appeared on stage, the dancers were separated in two once again just like with Cara at the beginning and Jay-Z walked between the groups. In the end, Cara and Jay-Z were performing the song together for the audience who was going crazy for both superstars, Cara for being one of the decade's biggest artist and biggest phenomenas and Jay-Z due to the fact that he's a legend.

After the performance, the host came running on stage excitingly asking questions to both Cara and Jay-Z concerning the song and future projects. "Jay-Z has always been very supportive, ever since I met him in 2014. He followed closely my album's production and helped me with it. He's a great friend. I'd love working with him again." said Cara, talking about Jay-Z and working with the rapper. Cara also answered a few questions concerning her album 'Distant Horizon' or more specifically about the Fifty Shades of Grey re-release it's getting in just a few weeks. "I'm very pleased that I received the option to basically have the soundtrack. The book was a nice read and the movie was great from what I've seen. I can't wait for the soundtrack to be out and to hear the songs during the movie itself. The premiere is gonna be huge and I can't wait for it as well. Who here is watching the movie?" she said concerning the soundtrack.

Cara Delevingne's single 'Fall Out' with features Jay-Z is now available and is featured on 'Distant Horizon', Cara Delevingne's latest platinum certified album. It will also be available on the album's re-release which will also serve as the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack.

Lady Gaga recently did press for ET which has been aired on tonight’s episode. In the interview, the “Do What U Want” songstress talked about her collaboration with Madonna, “PARTYNAUSEOUS”, her very own Bose Audio earphones line and her partnership with MAC Cosmetics for a collection of makeup products named after her upcoming studio album, “Decair”.

Gaga: Oh wow, icon. *laughs*

Q: Did I lie? So, your new single with Madonna named “PARTYNAUSEOUS” is storming the charts.

Gaga: Yes, I’m really happy about the reception it’s getting but it is Madonna, of course everybody will love it. But then again, it’s me as well so you never know how the public and even the fans may react, but whatever. I live for the art because I’m a musician, not the chart positions, honey.

Q: *laughs* I like that!

Gaga: Did you like that little rhyme?

Q: I loved it! Is that a lyric on the new album, “Decair”?

Gaga: Ooh no, but let me write that in! No, I’m just kidding *laughs*

Q: And there is rumoured to be a Britney Spears remix of “PARTYNAUSEOUS” which will be released as a promotional single soon. Could you confirm this?

Gaga: You’ll have to wait and see *winks*

Q: Well, I’m gonna take that as an ET exclusive!

Gaga: No no no! No no, it may happen. It might not.

Q: Mysterious, and I’m loving it. Could you tell us if you will feature on a new Britney song from her upcoming album?

Gaga: Oh, I couldn’t tell you anything I knew about her next release. But I’ve heard things and it’s excellent. But of course it will be! It’s Britney, right?

Q: Yeah, of course.

Gaga: …Bitch.

Q: *laughs* And you have a new cosmetics collection with MAC named “Decair”. What was the feel behind the colours, the tones and the general concept behind the products? Because we know you’re very conceptual.

Gaga: Yes, I am. And I really wanted to make this line creative and that’s why this is just the part 1 of the range and a part 2 will be coming soon. This first instalment is lighter and more perfected; the next one will be a complete, polar-opposite, flipsided, upside-down contrast. It’s darker.

Q: And you have a new range of earbuds with Bose Audio named “GagaPHONES”, so what inspired you to create that?

Gaga: Well, I just wanted to make a line of audio products so my monsters could listen to my music in style and with excellent audio quality, and that’s a combination of me and Bose I feel.

Q: And to promote the “GagaPHONES”, you’re doing 3 special concerts later this week in Times Square.

Gaga: Yes! I’m very excited about that and I’ve got a lot of surprises and tricks up my sleeve so you better watch out!

Q: Well, thank you for talking with us.

Gaga: No, thank you. It’s been a pleasure.


“PARTYNAUSEOUS” is available on

TAYLOR SWIFT X ITUNES
782


Taylor Swift has had always had an amazing relationship with her biggest digital retailer in the music industry, iTunes, a retailer that’s owned by none other than Apple Inc. The singer songwriter is one of the biggest artists on the retailer, her albums such as ‘1989’, ‘Coven 13’, and ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ all being massive sellers on the retailer’s music charts. Her album ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ is the current number one on the iTunes albums charts after being out for twenty one days officially, making it one of the few albums who’s managed to return to the top spot after new releases from big artists that compete in pop music with Taylor Swift. It seems as if it’s not much of a competition as the singer would blast back to number one on the albums charts with almost one million copies sold this week, making it the biggest sales week for an album in 2015 and in the past year. The album has sold over two million copies making it the best selling album for Taylor Swift and the best selling album from a Tigerlily Recordings artist, edging out Eric Saade and his international debut album, ‘EXPOSÉ’, which managed to sell over two million and three hundred thousand copies. From the looks of it, the singer songwriter seems to be on an easy track of breaking the three million mark with ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’, and if anyone or any album gets in her way, she seems to be ready to take them down. In an interview with iTunes where she would also perform a live session of ten songs that were made available for purchase, the singer songwriter would talk about her new music along with the success of her record, and more about ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’.

iTunes: We hear you have new music coming out. What’s been the inspiration behind the new music and what can we expect it to sound like? We have heard you are going for one of your old sounds which is that country sound with some pop flare

Taylor Swift: The new music is very country pop but I say it’s leaning more to the pop sound. If you have heard my songs like ‘Red’, ‘Love Story’, ‘Sparks Fly’, and other songs like that, you can expect something in a similar vein. But there’s also some really indie pop songs too that I recorded quite some time ago. With the reissue of the album I don’t really want to stick to just one genre. Because overall my career ha never really stuck to one genre. Plus I don’t believe in the restriction of an artist having to sing one genre for the rest of the career. As you can clearly see and tell from the songs and albums I’ve released in the past.

iTunes: And your inspiration behind the songs? What’s really inspired you to write them?

Taylor Swift: I have been inspired by so much in the past few months. I had to stop recording because of promotion but I am really getting back into the studio as of this week and recording some new stuff for the next record. I’m working with Jack Antonoff on the new record but for the reissue I’ve been really inspired by my friends and family, the places I am traveling to, and really Simon. Love has really inspired me on the reissue which is a big change from Electric Princess, Coven 13, and the other songs on Yours. Those were either about heartbreak, sadness, strength and confidence. With this reissue, the songs are very love inspired meaning that they’re about having this strong sense of love for someone you care about. I’ve found a great love and my music will reflect that.

iTunes: So we will not be getting any break up songs on the reissue of ‘Yours’?

Taylor Swift: Well I don’t think it would ever be a new Taylor Swift release without at least one break up song on the record would it? There’s a song or two on the rerelease of ‘Yours’ that is really what I believe one of the best and most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever written. It’s about Simon and I, and the rough moments we had to go through a few months back. The lyrics scream vulnerability, fear, and really I found the song almost beautiful in a way. It is all about fearing the end of something you have that’s so good. Too good for you to lose.

iTunes: Is that a reference to Too Good To Lose?

Taylor Swift: Well, they were recorded around the same time so it wasn’t really much of a coincidence..

TAYLOR SWIFT X GOOD MORNING BRITAIN
939


Taylor Swift was live on Good Morning Britain this morning where she would appear in support of her album ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’. There the singer songwriter would give an interview along with four performances of her promotional singles and singles form the record which have been a massive success. In the interview Taylor would discuss various topics before taking the stage for about fifteen or seventeen minutes to perform the songs.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: Good morning Taylor Swift, how are you this lovely morning?

TAYLOR SWIFT: Good Morning to you too! I’m doing absolutely wonderful, how about you? It’s so great to be here with you guys.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: It’s absolutely wonderful to have you.

TAYLOR SWIFT: Thank you, you’re too sweet.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: Alright, so we know you have had an absolutely incredible 2015 so far. From your album selling a stunning two and half million copies in less than a month, to scoring two platinum singles and number one singles in a month as well. But really for you, what has been the highlight of 2015 so far?

TAYLOR SWIFT: Well you know from the statistics you have just said, the success has to be one of the biggest highlights for me thus far since we have been in 2015. But really, I think the true highlight for me is going out on stage almost every night and being able to see the fans sing along to the songs that they really have grown up with me listening to. It’s seeing their faces light up whenever I come out to talk to them. It’s seeing the amazing response to the new music, it’s just being able to meet to really connect with them in a far greater way than I had ever imagine I’d be able to. Also my friends and family have been a true highlight. I’ve been able to spend some amazing time with them. I was lucky enough to vacation with my parents in the Cayman Islands, I am helping Simon build his dream home ion Vancouver Island, I’m enjoying the incredible love he’s been giving me, and really just hanging out with great artists such as Zendaya and Justin. It’s so great being able to listen to the music they have been putting their heart and soul into. It’s amazing to just be able to see them out there doing what they love. Those things are the highlights for me so far.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: You’ve collaborated with Stevie Nicks on Coven 13 before. You’ve mentioned that she was a huge influence on the new record you’re created that you’ve slated for a late release this year or an early release in 2016. Is there a chance that she’ll feature on the record?

TAYLOR SWIFT: Soo far nothing has really been set in stone in terms of collaborations and such. But i wouldn’t rule out the possibility of her possibly having something to do with the record. I’m a huge fan of hers and we keep contact often. Whenever her and I are at the same event we make sure to greet each other and chat for a few moments about the works and stuff we are doing. So far we haven’t recorded anything but there’s a possibility. Don’t lose faith.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: Are there any collaborations you’re dying for on the new record?

TAYLOR SWIFT: I think I’m finally going to collaborate with Jack vocally on a track. I mean he’s done some background vocals for me on songs like ‘Out of The Woods’, but he’s never really had a full on duet with me. I think I’m definitely going to change that on this album. I’m working with him on it because he’s such an amazing producer and whatever sound I want to create with him, he’s got this way of perfectly capturing that image and releasing it into the productions. I definitely want him on the track. I also would love to collaborate with Mikky Ekko. I think that could be really fun and interesting. I’m intrigued to see what we could come up with.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: So no Ed Sheeran feature?

TAYLOR SWIFT: Yeah, no.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: Will there be another single from ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’?

TAYLOR SWIFT: For the moment now, no. But I can tell you that there’s a single that will be on the release being released soon. I can’t say too much other than the fact it’s a really dark pop song. It was recorded early last year and has been sort of stuck in musical hell , waiting for release, for quite some time now.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN: As the new label head, you’re now in charge of the musical careers of artists such as Eric Saade. He’s been planning on releasing his album since late August. He teased that he’s releasing a single in the next upcoming weeks, teasing songs such as ‘Body Trade’ and ‘When It All Ends’. When are we getting new stuff from him?

TAYLOR SWIFT: He’s been really put in a rough place. He’s created such a good record and I believe has had so much time to sit with it that he’d sort of become discontent with it. So with that, he really felt the need to rerecord some parts of it. So he did that and I think he’s finally created the record he was really meant to make. It’s been a long time coming but it’s coming. It should be out within the next few weeks. The wait is almost over. I’m dying for him to release too, trust me.

Cara on Venga La Alegria!
717 Words



Cara Delevingne flew to Mexico for the first concert of her Distant World Tour in Latin America which seems to be constantly expending and will reach cities which cara never visited before. The show was already performed in many cities such as Hong Kong and Beijing in China, Tokyo in Japan, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, New York, Los Angeles and more in the US, Toronto and Vancouver in Canada and Cara will now perform the next date in Mexico, which was reported by Billboard as being yet another sold-out date from the stadium tour, who has been selling out easily every show.
After her flight reached Mexico early today, Cara went right to the hotel followed by the hordes of fans, but instead of partying, she slept most of the night as she is reportedly getting exhausted more and more every day, and under a lot of stress due to many factors, but Cara has numerous times expressed her want to go on with the performances and concerts. In the morning Cara signed a few of her fans' autographs who she thanked for waiting all night, before heading to a studio wearing a casual but still elegant outfit.
She was heading to the Venga La Alegria! studios, which is one of the biggest shows in Mexico and which has been continuously successful and has thousands of viewers tuning in everyday. This was Cara's first time in the country, it was the right thing to do to visit the show and promote herself on it. Her appearance consisted of an interview and a performance of multiple of her songs.

Welcome to Mexico Cara! How have you found the country so far?
Well I just arrived really early this morning so I didn't have time to do anything so far really! But everyone's been nice to me, so there's that.

Well this is your first time here, and your show here is sold out, congrats! Whats do you think of all the excitement about you here?
Well it's obviously nice to have and it makes everything so much more exciting. But it also has it's bad points. Like the fans were just up outside of my hotel all night long and it was freezing outside, and I was just feeling really bad for them. And It can also be annoying.

You've been working on the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, tell us about it...
Well the soundtrack is going to be great, that's something I'd like to point out. I've loved everything I've worked on for it so far. The new songs are such great songs and I've been very excited to hear them and the songs from 'Distant Horizon' in the movie!

And your performing a few songs for us today
Yeah I'm so excited! First time on mexican tv!

But first let's talk about your next album, when can we expect it to be released?
Well nothing's really sure but I'd say in less than a year. The album was worked on when I was in Europe and I've even managed to finish some of the early stages of some songs and I'm working incredibly well this time around, like I'm managing to finish things perfectly really fast. I'm probably getting used to having to do everything really fast with the tour now being on.

Cara then got up and performed a few songs from her albums 'Distant Horizon' and 'Cara'. Her performance started with 'Magazine' her debut hit single which was #1 in the US but also in Mexico, and was a quick, fun performance to which the audience sang along as it was a very big song 2 years ago. Cara followed the performance with 'Distant Horizon', her current promotional single off the album of the same name and followed it with the hit platinum single 'Honey'. Cara then performed another promotional single 'Once' which has been sitting in the top 10 of the itunes charts ever since the release of it's music video. Cara ended the show with two songs, the first one is her big #2 peaking single 'La Belle' and her latest hit single 'Fall Out' which features Jay-Z and which has been predicted to debut within the top 3 this week, making it Cara's fifth consecutive top 3 single.

Haven't followed this game, but I'm done with my exams tomorrow and I wanna join, but I'm not here for this game lasting like 2 weeks when I join.

Any expected end date yet?

Cara Delevingne is now in Brazil! after visiting multiple countries this week from the US, to Mexico, now Brazil and later heading to Argentina, Cara Delevingne has been taking over this weeks' Latin America's TV shows. This is Cara's first few concerts in South America as she is visiting not only for the promotion but for her brand new tour as well, titled 'Distant World Tour' which has been selling out stadiums all around the globe. "Being on the Distant World Tour is amazing. I get to travel to ll those places and the show itself is really fun to perform, I feel tired yes, but when you look at all the positives sides I'm really enjoying it." She said recently in an interview.
Her promotion in Brazil consisted of appearances on a few Radio shows in Brazil but mainly Programma Do Jo, which is the country's biggest Talk show who had invited Cara due to her appearance in Brazil for the tour. A performance on the show is a great way to earn sales and Cara already has a large public in Brazil so getting even more people to buy the album won't be very hard for Cara to do in this market. After arirving at the show wearing a beautiful summer dress with black high heels, Cara Delevingne sat down to answer the various questions asked to her.

You've been working a lot lately. Not only on the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack but also on your third album. Tell us, where are you when it comes to it?
Well you know I can't reveal much about it yet. But let's just say It has a very European kind of sound, very eurodance. I work on it a little bit when I'm on tour but most of the main process happens or happened in Europe. I have recently stayed a small while in Milan to work on it. So the music was really inspired by the city.

With whom have you been working on it?
I kind of really want this album to be much more limited, and not really have that many people working on it. I ust want it to be me with maybe 2 or 3 producers, not much. I want it to sound very consistent. One of my producers, is Stromae, who makes he's own music, and he's basically one of the most talented male artists out there. Working with him gave me a new insight and a new look on things. I also met up with Kate Boy, they are a minimalist and electronica band and we'll see how they'll affect the album if they are on it but I really liked what I heard from them.

You have 'Fall Out' out now, and it's a great song which features Jay-Z, Can you tell us about it, how you recorded it and when the Music video is coming?
Well I recorded the song in 2014, in a New York City studio. It was like... 3 AM and I was nearly slightly drunk. We had been working on the album non-stop and I just took a break. I had met up with Jay-Z the same day and he loved what I had in mind. He also helped me take some stress out, so I just decided to clal him, even if it was this late... or early, depending on which point of view your in. And anyways, he actually was coming to see me he had been out all night driving around New York and meeting some friends and he just came to me and we started working on the song, because of a beat I had in mind... a certain picture. It was all really fast but really fun. We created the song in just a few hours but it took us all night and morning, I was exhausted afterwards!

After the interview, Cara Delevingne got up to perform the rap song wearing a beautiful teal tuxedo top with elegant short and black laced up boots. Her performance was energetic and she also rapped Jay-Z's part of the song. Cara Delevingne's single 'Fall Out' is now available, and is featured along with the other hit singles 'la Belle' and 'Honey' on the platinum certified album 'Distant Horizon'.
