Taylor Swift kicked off her hotly anticipated “Eras Tour” on March 17 in Glendale, Arizona, revealing her set list and outfit changes to the packed stadium for the first time.

The original tracks from Daisy Jones and The Six’s album Aurora aren’t the only songs that appear in the new Prime Video series about the band. Embedded in the sepia-toned and whiskey-soaked scenes, there lie tracks by very real artists who graced stages and airwaves in the ’70s—and some even earlier—from The Byrds to Carole

Dubbed “The Beverly Hills of Switzerland,” the Swiss city of Zurich is so much more than a finance capital, despite the palpable banker presence. Located at the northern part of its namesake lake, with picturesque waterfront promenades and stunning alpine views—especially via the Glacier Express to nearby St. Moritz—Zurich is a seriously underrated European destination

Spoilers ahead. After tearing through Daisy Jones & the Six, Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 novel about the meteoric rise of a fictional ’70s band not unlike Fleetwood Mac, the biggest question on my mind was: What does this iconic band sound like? Thanks to Prime Video’s new miniseries based on the book, we now have

Taylor Swift delivered four gifts to fans on the eve of her first show on The Eras tour, dropping four new songs: three Taylor’s Versions of previously released tracks and a never-before-heard one, “All of the Girls You Loved Before,” a vault track from her Lover album.

Dolly de Leon recently became the first Filipina actress to ever be nominated for a BAFTA and Golden Globe for her scene-stealing turn in the Oscar-nominated film Triangle of Sadness. H.E.R., Steve Lacy, Olivia Rodrigo, and Saweetie will arguably all outlast pop music’s fickle standards. Comedian Jo Koy’s comedy Easter Sunday is the first Hollywood

A month after dating rumors between Selena Gomez and the Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart blossomed, Gomez used her TikTok to give a cheeky and definitive update on her relationship status: She is single and still looking for someone truly exceptional.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have one of the longest marriages in Hollywood, but they have managed to keep much of their private life private outside of a few strategic announcements. This is especially surprising considering how huge Parker got as the iconic Carrie Bradshaw on HBO’s Sex and the City. The couple seem

Dolly Parton is one of the most beloved figures in country music, and perhaps in pop culture generally. The prolific singer and songwriter continues to tour in her seventies to sold out crowds, and she’s been performing since her preteens. She met her husband Carl Thomas Dean her first day in Nashville, where she moved

They say you find love when you least expect it. And a relatively newly single Kendall Jenner, Us Weekly reports, hadn’t been looking for anything when Bad Bunny came into her life last month and their romantic relationship took off.

Season 1 of A League of Their Own premiered on Prime Video on August 12, 2022, and by then, co-creator Will Graham said that the team was already writing season 2. The show is based on the film of the same name, a classic rainy day movie pick for anyone who grew up in the

Ted Lasso finally returns for what could be its last lap around the pitch, though the team remains mum on whether the series really ends here. Regardless, the third season will reach some sort of finality over its dozen new episodes. “This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we

An absolute masterwork—not only thanks to the memes—director Todd Field’s Best Picture nominee Tár, starring Cate Blanchett as the titular conductor, is one of the year’s most beguiling and well-crafted films. It’s also Field’s first since his 2006 project Little Children, and the wait was well worth the 16-year gap. Best Actress nominee Blanchett is

A semi-autobiographical tale from a master filmmaker could easily ooze self-indulgence, but Steven Spielberg’s latest Academy Award Best Picture nominee, The Fabelmans, is never intemperate. In fact, it’s purposefully sparing as the camera zooms in on Spielberg stand-in Sammy Fabelman’s coming-of-age journey, an enchanted childhood complicated by his mother and father’s marital strife. We see

I’m not sure what, precisely, I expected when walking into my screening of The Banshees of Inisherin, but it wasn’t…well, The Banshees of Inisherin. The Academy Award Best Picture nominee from director Martin McDonagh manages to be both hilarious and heart-wrenching in one breath, thanks in no small part to career-high performances from a cast

Netflix’s major hit Stranger Things premiered in 2016, and its star Millie Bobby Brown is about ready for the series to be over.
