Old Taylor Swift is dead. May New Taylor Swift forever reign in terror

Taylor Swift has been sorted into Slytherin, and she's bringing  a new banger  to their house parties. If  the snake videos  weren't enough of a clue, Taylor's enemies have driven her to a poisonous place -- or so she'd have us believe. "Bad Blood" will go down as a bratty tiff compared to "Look What You Made Me Do," a message from the all-new Taylor Swift, a first offering from  Reputation  that's dripping with lethal venom. "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now," she sarcastically snarls during the break. "Why? Oh! 'Cause she's dead!" RIP sunny, lovelorn Taylor. Long live dark, vengeful Taylor.  May she forever reign in terror.  SEE ALSO:  You'll never guess how many times 'Taylor Swift' appears on the 'Reputation' cover If this first single in three years is to be believed, Swift has been progressively provoked from shaking it off to lashing out -- a pivot

Kim Kardashian Aired Out Her Nipples While Wearing Questionable Camo Shorts

Kim Kardashian is something of a master of  the "double take" outfit , and she showed her skills again with a combination sheer black bodysuit, bejeweled sandal heels, and then a pair of billowing camo-print shorts. Just say that last part out loud, then gird yourself again: Kim is no stranger to  boundary-pushing fashion , but if camo Bermuda shorts are a hard sell on a Kardashian, not sure if this style deserves to get new legs. But it's sure great for showing off hers, which admittedly look fabulous topped off with those glittering sandals. Kim switched up her sidewalk style showcase with a pair of chic black shades, all the better for avoiding paparazzi flashes: While Kim had no problem showing off her nips to the general public, little sis Kendall Jenner chose a very different approach, opting for boots and a ruffled floral dress: The sisters are clearly representing their personal brands while out and about, making this a celebrity outing only the Kardashi

Kanye West Is Suing An Insurance Company for $10 Million

The dispute centers around the rapper's canceled Saint Pablo tour. Kanye West bowed out of his Saint Pablo tour in November of last year, citing health issues that  kept him in the hospital . Since then, the rapper's been keeping a relatively lower profile until now, as  he's suing the tour's insurance company  for $10 million. Because the tour cancelation was due to his medical condition, Kanye argues that the tour's insurers, Lloyd's of London, should've paid out his claims. What's stopping the firm? According to a complaint  obtained  by the  Hollywood Reporter , Kanye's side of the suit alleges: "Nor have they [Lloyd's] provided anything approaching a coherent explanation about why they have not paid, or any indication if they will ever pay or even make a coverage decision, implying that Kanye’s use of marijuana may provide them with a basis to deny the claim and retain the hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance premiums paid

Google confirms that YouTube Red and Google Play Music will merge

Google has a tendency to create multiple products that end up competing with each other, to some degree. Android and Chrome OS, Google's handful of messaging clients, the list goes on. But two of Google's subscription services, YouTube Red and Google Play Music, will soon merge into one offering. The merge was confirmed during a panel session at the New Music Seminar conference in New York, by YouTube's head of music, Lyor Cohen. He explained that Google needs to merge the services to help bring in new subscribers, saying "The important thing is combining YouTube Red and Google Play Music, and having one offering." Google later provided a statement to  The Verge , which stated that the company is still evaluating options and would notify users before any changes. Google's music ecosystem is a bit complicated, but I'm not sure if a merge would solve that. Google Play Music is a more typical music streaming service, while YouTube Music focuses on music vi

Beyoncé’s and Adele’s Grammy Speeches: Transcripts

Beyoncé did not utter the words “President Trump” on Sunday as she accepted the Grammy for best urban contemporary album for “Lemonade,” but her powerful statement about the need for positive depictions of black lives spoke to the current political moment. Here is her full speech: Thank you so much. Hi baby. Thank you to the Grammy voters for this incredible honor, and thank you to everyone who worked so hard to beautifully capture the profundity of deep southern culture. I thank God for my family, my wonderful husband, my beautiful daughter, my fans for bringing me so much happiness and support. We all experience pain and loss, and often we become inaudible. My intention for the film and album was to create a body of work that would give a voice to our pain, our struggles, our darkness and our history. To confront issues that make us uncomfortable. It’s important to me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty, so they can grow up in a world where they look in the mirr
