Taylor Swift Crashes a Wedding in Video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version): Watch
“I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version)” is one of nine new songs taken “From the Vault” and added to Taylor Swift’s recently refreshed album Red (Taylor’s Version). The country-pop kiss-off features vocals from Chris Stapleton, and it now has a new music video directed by Blake Lively and co-written by Lively and Swift. Check it out below. The visuals open with a groom reciting his vows, though it turns out to be a rehearsal in the bathroom mirror, and his groomsmen are all wiggling in front of urinals. At the black and white reception, Swift appears as an apparition in red, dropping cherries into drinks and toppling the groom from the top of the wedding cake. At one point, she returns in a flowing white wedding gown, tempting her ex away from his bride. But this ...
Taylor Swift Performs 10-Minute Version of “All Too Well” on SNL: Watch
This week in her quest for world domination, Taylor Swift released her long-anticipated re-recording of Red, the 2012 album that helped cement her transition from country-pop singer-songwriter to complete pop superstar. Over the weekend, she took to Saturday Night Live to perform the 10-minute version of the fan favorite song “All Too Well.” “All Too Well” immediately became known upon Red’s release as some of the best of Swift’s storytelling. Its tale of heartbreak — written in the aftermath of her breakup with Jake Gyllenhaal — is rife with imagery of romantic trips upstate and “casually cruel” phone calls once the romance burned out. Written on the fly as a sort of soundcheck rant, the track’s original 10-minute minute version has been spoken of in hushed, reverent tones in fan cir...
Run the Jewels Fend Off Zombies In New “Never Look Back” Video: Watch
Halloween might be over, but Run the Jewels are carrying tricks and treats through November. The hip-hop duo have today shared the music video for “Never Look Back,” a cut from their knockout 2020 album, RTJ4. The clip stars RTJ’s Killer Mike and El-P in a reimagining of George Romero’s 1968 horror touchstone, Night of the Living Dead. Directed by John Hillcoat, the “Never Look Back” video premiered as part of the Adult Swim Festival livestream on Friday. Shot in grainy black-and-white, it finds RTJ in the midst of a zombie uprising, spliced seamlessly with clips from the original film. You’ll see familiar scenes with the Night of the Living Dead cast (who, in this retelling, hilariously watch an RTJ performance on their retro TV), as well as cameos from The Walking Dead’s Norman Reed...

Taylor Swift Unveils All Too Well: The Short Film: Watch
Now that we’ve all finished wiping our tears from listening to Taylor Swift‘s new 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” the waterworks are starting right back up again with the accompanying short film, which is out now. Starring Sadie Sink (of Stranger Things fame) as Her and teen-heartthrob-who-has-somehow-turned-30 Dylan O’Brien as Him, All Too Well: The Short Film was written and directed by Swift, who also makes an appearance. All Too Well was shot on 35mm film by cinematographer Rina Yang, whose resume includes music videos by Dua Lipa, FKA Twigs, Zara Larsson, and Porches. Opening with a Pablo Neruda quote, the short offers up, narrative-wise, a relatively literal interpretation of the song’s narrative beats, while also delivering a dreamy, Instagram-ready glimpse ...
Testament’s Alex Skolnick Shares Video for New Song “Florida Man Blues” feat. Brian Posehn: Stream
Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick has shared the video for his new song with the Alex Skolnick Trio, “Florida Man Blues.” The clip features cameos by heavy metal comedians Brian Posehn and Dave Hill. Skolnick wrote and recorded the track with his band back in 2019. After sitting on the song for nearly two years, the guitarist finally shared the blues-based romp, which is clearly inspired by the “Florida Man” meme headlines coming out of the Sunshine State. A comedic song needed a comedic clip, so Skolnick tapped Adam Dubin for “Florida Man Blues.” Dubin co-directed the Beastie Boys’ legendary “Fight for Your Right” video, and Skolnick even smashes a TV with a sledgehammer in homage to Adam Yauch. Posehn and Hill make humorous appearances, the latter as an alligator-carrying booze enthusias...
Rosalía and The Weeknd Team Up for Collaborative Single “La Fama”: Stream
Rosalía and The Weeknd have released their new collaboration “La Fama.” Check it out via its Director X-helmed video below. “La Fama” serves as as the lead single for MOTOMAMI, Rosalía’s forthcoming follow-up to 2019’s El Mal Querer. The Bachata-infused track finds Abel Tesfaye crooning in Spanish alongside the Barcelona native about how a quest for fame can get in the way of romantic relationships. “Es mala amante la fama, no va a quererte de verdad/ Es demasia’o traicionera, y como ella viene, se te va,” the pair sing on the chorus. “Yo sé que será celosa, yo nunca le confiaré/ Si quiero duermo con ella, pero nunca me la voy a casar.” (Roughly translated via Google Translate, that’s, “Fame is a bad lover, she won’t truly love you/ She is too treacherous, and as she comes, she leaves...
Let’s Eat Grandma Announces New Album Two Ribbons, Shares Title Track: Stream
Let’s Eat Grandma have announced their upcoming album, Two Ribbons, via Transgressive. The album is set to be released April 8th and will serve as a follow-up to the duo’s 2018 LP I’m All Ears. In conjunction with the announcement, the band has unveiled the LP’s sparse title track as its second single. The Two Ribbons of the album’s title could be taken to represent the perspectives and life experiences of both Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth over the three years since their last studio effort, but the title track is actually about other people. “‘Two Ribbons’ is a song I wrote to, and about, two of the closest people in my life, and how my relationships with them shifted over time through loss and life changes,” said Hollingworth in a statement. “It touches on the isolating experience ...

The track follows up the band’s August single, “Shoulders,” and comes ahead of Coheed’s much-anticipated follow-up to 2018’s Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures. On “Rise, Naianasha (Cut the Cord),” Coheed and Cambria display their penchant for progressive rock, with shifting dynamics, a doomy instrumental breakdown and Claudio Sanchez’s creative storytelling. “‘Rise, Naianasha’ explores the reach of love and loyalty and the reality that sometimes you need to be more than a shoulder to lean on — you need to become the destroyer,” Sanchez said of the genesis of “Rise, Naianasha (Cut The Cord).” Advertisement Related Video Coheed and Cambria recently closed out...

The artist swung by the beloved children’s show to perform a new version of her hit “Happier Than Ever” with The Count meant to help kids count to two. Watch the performance below. “When I’m counting with you, I’m happier than ever,” the singer tells the vampire in this stoop serenade. “Numbers sound so much better,” the puppet replies. Eilish also helps a shivering Burt count his sweaters, and adds up the noggins on the Two-Headed Monster. Even Elmo lends a hand. Big Bird, meanwhile, just looks on in awe. Maybe he was starstruck.
