Taylor Swift Donating To Local Food Banks Along 'The Eras Tour' Route

Global pop superstar Taylor Swift has been donating to local food banks in cities she has been performing as part of her ongoing "The Eras Tour."

The Grammy-winner was hailed in an Instagram post by the Nevada-based nonprofit Three Square Food Bank last Wednesday after a contribution to the organization described as "generous."

"We don't know about you, but we're feeling grateful on this day, March 22!" the organization said in a social media post with a collage of images of the "Anti-Hero" artist.

The organization said, "@TaylorSwift has made a generous gift to Three Square, allowing us to provide thousands of meals to families and individuals struggling with hunger. Thank you to Ms. Swift for supporting our mission and the local community."

The superstar also made a donation to the Arizona Food Bank Network ahead of taking the stage in Glendale, Arizona.

The food bank shared its reaction with local media outlet AZ Central. "It's not every day that you get a call from someone who works for Taylor Swift, so we were dubious at first, but happily, it turned out to be absolutely real," vice president of external relations Terri Shoemaker told the publication.

Drake Ticket Prices Spark Class Action Lawsuit Against Ticketmaster

Drake Ticket Prices Spark Class Action Lawsuit Against Ticketmaster

Ticketing giant Ticketmaster is facing a class action lawsuit over allegedly price gauging tickets for Drake's upcoming tour.

Canadian law firm LPC Avocat Inc. has filed the lawsuit claiming that the ticketing company "intentionally misleads consumers for [its] own financial gain."

According to the Toronto Star, LPC Avocat said that a Montreal man purchased two "Official Platinum" seats for Drake's upcoming "It's All A Blur" tour at the Bell Centre on July 14 for $789.54 each. The next day, Drake added a second show for July 15 and the same seats were available for more than $350 less.

"Ticketmaster unilaterally decides which tickets it advertises and sells as 'Official Platinum' based on a given event," reads the application for the class action provided to the Star. "The result is that most, if not all, of the tickets advertised and sold as 'Official Platinum' are neither 'premium tickets' nor 'some of the best seats in the house' and are, in fact, just regular tickets sold by Ticketmaster at an artificially inflated premium in bad faith."

The suit further alleges Ticketmaster knew Drake would perform two concerts in Montreal but "concealed this information" in order to "squeeze out" as much money as possible from fans buying tickets for the first show.

The class-action lawsuit needs to be approved by the Quebec Superior Court to proceed. The suit would be seeking $300 in punitive damages per customer who joins the suit and compensatory damages covering the difference between "Official Platinum" pricing and the regular cost for those seats.

Kanye West Says Watching Jonah Hill In '21 Jump Street' Made Him 'Like Jewish People Again'

Kanye West Says Watching Jonah Hill In '21 Jump Street' Made Him 'Like Jewish People Again'

Kanye West says watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street has made him like Jewish people again.

Ye, who has recently made openly antisemitic remarks, said on Instagram, "Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again."

"No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people. No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew," the rapper wrote in his return to social media after a series of antisemitic remarks cost him a place on the social media platform.

Ye promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and praised Hitler on Infowars and befriended notorious far-right extremists last year.

He was forced to cancel a number of scheduled concerts and lost more than a billion dollars in net worth and lucrative brand partnerships with GAP, Adidas, and Balenciaga.

Born to Jewish parents, Hill played the role of Morton Schmidt, a socially awkward yet smart police officer, in the 2012 buddy cop action comedy film 21 Jump Street.

FLO Team Up With Missy Elliott On New Single 'Fly Girls'

FLO Team Up With Missy Elliott On New Single 'Fly Girls'

U.K. R&B trio FLO have teamed up with Missy Elliot on a new single, "Fly Girl." FLO released the track along with an accompanying video, directed by Tajana Tokyo.

The song's intro features a reference to Elliott's "Work It." "If you a fly girl, get your nails done, get a pedicure, get your hair did," FLO sing and then add their original verse, "You're telling me I'm pretty but it's obvious/ I don't need a man to tell me where the party is."

"Don't I still look like Halle Berry in the face?" sings Elliott.

"'Fly Girl' is all about confidence, good vibes and feeling your best. It's a lively, feel good song that still incorporates clever lyrics and fire vocals, if we do say so ourselves," FLO said. "It's quite literally a perfect fusion of old school meets modern day R&B, with a nod to and feature from the original fly girl Missy Elliott herself."

They continued, We love it and are so happy to be putting out a song that can hopefully make whoever plays it feel confident and most importantly, FLY."

Elliott added, "Working with Flo has been nothing less than amazing. I remember a few of their fans sent me clips of their performances, and I immediately felt the authentic '90s vibe. I loved the fact they all sang lead so well-great vocal control-so when I was asked to be a part of the 'Fly Gir' record, it was a no brainer. They used the inspiration from my song 'Work It,' and I felt they did it justice. I enjoyed it and I believe they have a long, great career ahead of them."

The FLO trio, Renée Downer, Jorja Douglas, and Stella Quaresma, released their debut EP The Lead last year.

Chloe Bailey Reveals 'In Pieces' Album Cover

Chloe Bailey Reveals 'In Pieces' Album Cover

Rising R&B star Chloe Bailey has revealed the cover of her upcoming album, In Pieces.

The cover art shows the Chloe x Halle artist with red hair, draped in a Victorian-style dress, holding a heart in her hand.

Explaining about the idea behind the album cover, Bailey wrote on Twitter, "I saw a photo of a porcelain doll 3 years ago, holding her heart just like this and from then, I said this will be my album cover. that same day I also wrote heart on my sleeve."

"The beginning of a scary and exciting journey for me. This cover represents so much for me, down to the color of my hair. When I had red hair 1.5 years ago, it was one of the darkest times in my life. That's why I never wore it again," she added.

Speaking about the inspiration for the album, Bailey said, "In Pieces is for the ones who behind closed doors are breaking and don't know how much more they can take. In Pieces is for the ones who hold the people up around them while barely holding themselves."

"In Pieces is for the people who continue to get stabbed in the back, heart broken by the ones they thought they could trust, but STILL that doesn't change their heart and how they love," she continued. "In Pieces is for the ones like me, who wear their outer shell so well that you'd have no idea what they're going through."

In Pieces is set for release on March 31 via Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records.

Ed Sheeran Announces New Single 'Eyes Closed'

Ed Sheeran Announces New Single 'Eyes Closed'

Ed Sheeran took to social media last week to announce that he will release a new single, "Eyes Closed," on March 24.

Sheeran teased his new music on Wednesday (March 8) by posting a melody to his TikTok and sharing some written song lyrics on his Instagram. He then combined the two on Thursday morning to announce the single.

The song will be the first track from Sheeran's upcoming album, Substract, due out on May 5.

"Time is moving so slow and I don't know what else that I can do," Sheeran wrote on Instagram. He added, "I'm dancing with my eyes closed, everywhere I look I still see you."

Sheeran previously mentioned the album through a diary entry last year. He wrote about his spouse having to delay getting treatment for a tumor because she was pregnant with the couple's daughter, Jupiter, who they secretly welcomed into the world in May 2022. He admitted writing the record acted as therapy for him through the extremely dark period in his life, which also saw his late friend Jamal Edwards pass away suddenly and his mental health spiral.

In the candid statement, he said, "I had been working on 'Subtract' for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be."

Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow, Hayley Williams And More To Play LGBTQ+ Benefit

Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow, Hayley Williams, and several other acts are set to perform at a benefit concert for the LGBTQ+ community to be held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on March 20.

Hozier, Brittany Howard, Brothers Osborne, Amanda Shires, Julien Baker, Joy Oladokun, Yola, Jake Wesley Rogers, Mya Byrne, and the Rainbow Coalition Band, are among the others set to perform at the "Love Rising Tennessee" benefit concert, which is being organized by Isbell and Allison Russell.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit Tennessee Equality Project, Inclusion Tennessee, OutMemphis, and the Tennessee Pride Chamber.

"As a queer, intersectional artist and mother, raising my child in Nashville, it's important to me to support these wonderful Tennessee LGBTQIA+ advocacy organizations, working so hard to build bridges, reduce harm and promote equality for all Tennesseans," said Russell.

She added, "LGBTQIA+ contributions and creativity are foundational to every genre of modern song and arts performance. I think it speaks volumes that so many in our community are feeling the same call to support, celebrate and uplift!"

"Senate Bill 3 and House Bill 9 are clearly targeted attacks on Tennesseans who haven't done anything wrong," added Isbell. "These bills add up to an attempt to eradicate a valuable part of our community and force good people to live in fear. We can't in good conscience just stand by and let that happen."

Taylor Swift Shares Behind-The-Scenes Look At Making Of 'Lavender Haze' Video

Taylor Swift Shares Behind-The-Scenes Look At Making Of 'Lavender Haze' Video

Taylor Swift recently shared a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video for the Midnights track "Lavender Haze."

The video shows Swift serving as actor as well as director. It begins with Swift engaged in conversation with co-star Laith Ashely, explaining the types of scenes they'll film together and how post-editing will add special effects to one of their more intimate moments.

Ashley says, "I didn't expect for her to share anything with me. I was like, I'm kind of just here. I don't want to say a prop, but a model. But she went into detail as to what my role was in the video, so I'm really happy to be a part of it."

Swift is seen discussing the video's sets, her backward crawling skills, and the importance of remembering to take off a giant blue fur coat before she crawls "because this, crawling, is giving blue bear - like, that's an animal."

Towards the end of the visual, Swift explains the video's big "powder party" scene, catching herself and clarifying she doesn't actually mean what everyone thinks when they hear "Seventies powder party."

Swift released the "Lavender Haze" video in January. She had earlier released the visuals for "Anti-Hero" and "Bejeweled," two other songs from the Midnights record.
