Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been nominated in the same category at this year’s Webby Awards.While the couple are both up for awards in separate categories at the New York ceremony on May 13, they are also both shortlisted for Best Creator or Influencer Collaboration, Features (Social).Kelce’s nod is for a team-up with the Cheesecake Factory and Swift is nominated for her partnership with Vote.org on National Voter Registration Day.They are both up against Paris Hilton, Amaury Guichon, and TikTok’s Tube Girl.Swift’s nomination comes after she urged her fans to take action at the forthcoming US elections, driving record-breaking numbers to the Vote.org website last September.Vote.org saw its highest traffic on National Voter Registration Day since 2020 as a result of her influence.Last month, she also urged her fans to vote in the US primary elections which saw 16 states cast their ballots to pick their Republican and Democratic nominees for president.Swift has been cautious in her approach to politics over the years, first breaking her silence back in 2018 to back the Democrats in the US midterm elections.In 2019, she went so far as to accuse Donald Trump of “gaslighting the American public”, before officially endorsing Joe Biden the following year.She was responsible for driving record-breaking numbers to the voter registration site.It was reported earlier this year that Biden was seeking a Swift endorsement in an effort to swing the next US Presidential Election.Elsewhere, at the 28th annual Webby Awards nominees, include Lil Nas X, Victoria Monét, Sydney Sweeney, Timothée Chalamet, Trixie Mattel, Ryan Gosling, Michelle Obama, Laverne Cox, Adam Driver, Kelly Clarkson, and more.Public voting is open now via the
Sydney Sweeney on ‘Madame Web’ flop: “I was just hired as an actress in it”
14.03.2024 - 08:45 / nme.com
Sydney Sweeney has addressed the box office flop of her latest film, Sony‘s superhero flick Madame Web.Last month, Madame Web premiered in cinemas around the world on February 14, and in its first six days, it took just $26.2 million (£20.8 million) in the US, and a further $25.7 million (£20.4 million) internationally. This represents an underperformance, even compared to Sony’s recent Morbius, which itself was seen as a commercial disappointment.The film has so far failed to garner any commercial success, rending it a “flop” at the box office.
Now, one of its stars, Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria, Anyone But You, The White Lotus) has spoken about the film’s failures and how it’s affecting her.Speaking to The Los Angeles Times recently, Sweeney revealed that the film’s bust hasn’t really affected her as others might expect. While this is the first box office flop of Sweeney’s career, she told the publication that she was “just along for the ride”.“I was just hired as an actress in it, so I was just along for the ride for whatever was going to happen, she told The Los Angeles Times.Sweeney is now the latest actor from Madame Web to pan the film.
Earlier this month, the film’s lead star Dakota Johnson said that she was “not surprised” at the film’s negative reception. She went on to explain: “It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee.”Johnson added: “But it was definitely an experience for me to make that movie.
I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sydney Sweeney said in a recent interview with GQ UK that starring in Sony’s “Madame Web” was a “strategic business decision” that more or less paid off despite the film being one of the year’s most infamous box office flops. In Sweeney’s eyes, “Madame Web” got her in the door at Sony Pictures and that’s where she was able to have a massive box office success with the romantic comedy “Anyone but You.” “To me, that film was a building block, it’s what allowed me to build a relationship with Sony,” Sweeney told the publication. “Without doing ‘Madame Web’ I wouldn’t have a relationship with the decision-makers over there.

‘Immaculate’ Review: Sydney Sweeney Delivers a Miraculous Performance in an Unholy and Slightly Uneven Horror Flick
Stephen Saito Ever since resurrecting the erotic thriller with the respectably lurid 2021 drama “The Voyeurs,” it was clear Sydney Sweeney and director Michael Mohan were interested in second comings. So it was only a matter of time before they’d turn their attention to Christ himself in “Immaculate,” an enjoyable if uneven horror film cut from a slightly different cloth than its religious brethren with a captivating turn from its star as a virginal nun whose pregnancy inspires questions beyond the health of the child, and a hell of an ending.
