new Taylor Swift album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”There are the exes: British actor Joe Alwyn, with whom the singer was in a six-year relationship until 2023, as well as the 1975 frontman Matty Healy, who Swift briefly dated last year.And the 34-year-old superstar used her powerhouse pen to mark her territory on her gridiron guy, Travis Kelce.But in addition to her current beau, there is another man who gets big love from Swift on “TTPD,” which dropped on Friday.That would be singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, who gets the ultimate co-sign from Swift on the title track.“You smoked and ate seven bars of chocolate / we declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist / I scratch your head, you fall asleep / Like a tattooed Golden Retriever,” she sings.The quote seemingly references her and Healy bonding over their mutual appreciation for the “See You Again” singer during their romance.Puth, for his part, appears to be a major Swiftie.

Olivia Rodrigo took the piano to sing her smash debut single “Drivers License” on Friday night — during the first of four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden on her “Guts” World Tour — it was almost as if she had outgrown the song.Just three years ago — when the breakup ballad floored it to No. 1 in 2021, putting the pop ingenue on the fast track to three Grammys — Rodrigo had yet to graduate from Disney’s “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.” So singing about the rite of passage of getting your driver’s license made her feel just like the 17-year-old that she was when she wrote, recorded and released her first of three chart-toppers.Flash forward to April 2024, and Rodrigo has made Disney a distant memory, leaving “High School Musical” in 2022, graduating from playing Radio City Music Hall on 2022’s “Sour” Tour to making her headlining debut at the big daddy of New York arenas.
