Laura Dern says Taylor Swift is a “real deal” filmmaker

By Damn, is mad.That was my initial reaction after to her eleventh studio album, , which dropped at midnight on Friday. And this isn’t carefully curated, easily monetizable anger with a cute little snake mascot. This seems to be real rage, the kind that comes from lived pain, the kind that has led Swift to maybe let us behind the curtain in a real way for the first time in a long time.It’s hard to imagine that we could possibly ever in this lifetime need to know anything more about Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift has namechecked the cult Scottish indie band The Blue Nile on a track on her huge new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.On the album’s ninth track ‘Guilty As Sin?’, Swift sings: “Drowning in The Blue Nile / He sent me Downtown Lights / I hadn’t heard it in a while / My boredom’s bone deep / This cage was once just fine / Am I allowed to cry?”‘The Downtown Lights’ was the band’s biggest song, reaching the Top Ten on the American Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1989, famously also the year that Swift was born.Listen to the two tracks in question below:Aside from having similar themes to Swift’s new album – navigating difficult relationships, the aftermath of heartbreak – the reference to the song also appears to be another nod to The 1975’s Matty Healy, with whom Taylor was romantically linked for a short period of time in 2023.Healy once told Vulture that The Blue Nile were his “favourite band of all time”, and he has named ‘Hats’, from which ‘The Downtown Lights’ is taken, as his favourite album of the ‘80s. He has also stated that his song ‘Love It If We Made It’ is like “The Blue Nile on steroids”.Led by singer Paul Buchanan, Glasgow’s The Blue Nile have a devoted underground following, and are praised for their elegant, melancholic melodies and restrained, patient synth and guitar arrangements.

Taylor Swift's love life has always been a hot topic, and her latest album seems to have reignited the conversation.The American singer-songwriter, who split from British actor Joe Alwyn last year, shocked fans when she was spotted with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy shortly after. Now, nearly a year later, Taylor has once again surprised her fans. Many had assumed that her 11th studio album, a double album titled 'The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology', would delve into the end of her six-year relationship with Joe.

That’s insane,” began Ulven. “I sent her my album as a thank you, and she emailed me being like, ‘oh my God, you sent me your album.

Shania Twain has shared new praise for Taylor Swift – see what Twain had to say below.In a new cover profile with Haute Living, Shania Twain talks about her trouble with accepting credit for the talent she was born with: “I wouldn’t say I’m proud of anything I’ve done. Pride is not a great word for me, because I don’t think you can take credit for creative gifts if you were born with them; you can only take credit for developing them. What I would say I’m proud of is that I had the courage to take risks, that I could be so hard-working and dedicated.”In this sense, she likens herself to Taylor Swift, who she praised for her work ethic.
