The post Taylor Swift Embraces Her Messy Era on “The Tortured Poets Department” appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Swift is no stranger to a good breakup album, and many of her previous releases inspired fan theories and wild speculations. That was also the case with The Tortured Poets Department, and many expected it to be inspired by the fallout of her long-term relations with Joe Alwyn, but Swift has given us something else entirely.
The album’s first track, the Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight”, chronicles a brief but powerful relationship that was always doomed to fail, and the rest of Tortured Poets follows a similar formula.
Instead of focusing on a single relationship, Swift explores heartbreak in all its messy stages, walking a fine line between viciousness and vulnerability. Tortured Poets is at its strongest when Swift is ready to bear her soul, and that’s why “So Long, London” stands out as one of its most powerful tracks.
Like many of the best songs on this album and its companion piece The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, this song is produced by Aaron Dessner and not the album’s main producer Jack Antonoff. They had a pretty fruitful creative partnership for years, but Antonoff’s synth-pop tendencies don’t seem to be doing much for Swift’s sound anymore.
This is one of the biggest problems with Tortured Poets, which often sounds like an echo of her previous albums while lacking their best qualities. It has the vindictiveness of Reputation (“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”), the synth-pop sound of Midnights (“My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys”), storytelling strengths of Folklore and Evermore (“Clara Bow”), while still failing to measure up to any of them.
Like most of Swift’s recent albums, Tortured Poets will top the charts, break a few records – maybe even win a Grammy or two. That doesn’t change the fact it’s one of her messiest outputs in recent memory, but it’s fun to see she’s not afraid to step on the dark side, now that she’s got nothing to lose.

]]>The post 5 Promising New Albums to Put On Your Playlist This April appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Vampire Weekend’s new album Only God Was Above Us has been five years in the making, and judging by what we’ve heard so far – it was worth waiting for.
Taylor Swift broke the internet when she announced the release of The Tortured Poets Department at the Grammys before sharing its 16-song tracklist, featuring A-list collabs with Post Malone and Florence and the Machine.
Rising star Benson Boone topped the charts around the world with his breakout hit “Beautiful Things”, and we can’t wait to hear what his debut album has in store.
Anitta is getting ready to go back to her Brazilian funk roots on her next album, and she gave us a taste of things to come with singles “Funk Rave”, “Mil Veces”, and “Joga pra Lua”.
Some of our favorite indie girls are gearing up for the release of new music this April, but St. Vincent’s All Born Screaming is definitely the most-anticipated new alternative release.

]]>1989 (Taylor’s Version) soared back to No. 1 for its fifth non-consecutive week in the tracking week ending on December 28. It earned a total of 98,000 equivalent albums, including 61,000 in album sales, 36,000 SEA units (48.5 million official streams of the set’s songs), and 1,000 TEA units.
This marks the 68th week one of Swift’s albums returned atop the Billboard 200 chart, and this number is quite historic. She single-handedly broke Elvis Presley’s record for the most weeks at No. 1 by a solo artist, while the all-time record still belongs to The Beatles, with 132 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart across 19 albums.
Swift reached the 68 mark after 13 of her chart-topping releases soared to No. 1 and spent one or more weeks on top. It all started with her 2008 sophomore album Fearless, which spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard 200, followed by Folklore (eight weeks), Red (seven weeks), and Speak Now and Midnights (six weeks each).

]]>1989 (Taylor’s Version) earned the top spot with 136,000 equivalent album units during its fourth week on the chart, joining her former No. 1 albums Midnights and Lover in the top ten. Nicki Minaj was right behind with Minaj’s Pink Friday 2, which earned 100,000 equivalent album units during its second week.
This marks Swift’s 67th week at No. 1 across all 13 of her chart-topping releases, and this number is quite impressive. She ties Elvis Presley for the most weeks at No. 1 among solo artists since Billboard 200 started regularly publishing their weekly chart in 1956. The all-time record is still held by The Beatles, who spent 132 weeks at No. 1 in the United States.
The rest of the Billboard 200 chart this week is mostly occupied by the holiday albums. Michael Bublé’s former No. 1 Christmas took the No. 4 spot with 70,000 units, along with Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song at No. 8 and Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas at No. 10.

]]>The post Taylor Swift Crowned as “Time” Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2023 appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Barbie and Hollywood strikers made it to Time’s shortlist this year, but Swift managed to defeat them all. After selling out stadiums across America, topping the charts with both her albums and singles, and becoming a billionaire thanks to the success of The Eras Tour and accompanying concert film, Swift fully deserved the title of “Person of the Year”.
Swift is fully aware that it will be tough to replicate the success she found this year because “nothing is permanent”, but she intends to keep doing what she does best.
“I’m very careful to be grateful every second that I get to be doing this at this level, because I’ve had it taken away from me before. There is one thing I’ve learned: My response to anything that happens, good or bad, is to keep making things. Keep making art,” said Swift.
2023 will be a difficult year to repeat, but the record-breaking star has a lot to look forward to in the future. The Eras Tour will continue with new legs in Europe and North America, and she’s promising that the vault tracks from her upcoming Reputation re-recording are going to be “fire”.

]]>The post Taylor Swift’s Releasing Extended Version of “The Eras Tour” Film on VOD appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Swift took to social media to tell her fans that she’ll celebrate her birthday by making The Eras Tour film available for people to watch at home on December 13. This is her way of thanking her fans for the amazing year they had together.
The original concert film clocked at 169 minutes, but the VOD version will be even longer. Swift made sure to include three songs that had to be cut from the theatrical version, including “Wildest Dreams”, “The Archer”, and “Long Live”.
This concert film chronicles the journey Swift embarked on during her historic The Eras Tour, and she announced the extended version following the final 2023 show in São Paulo, Brazil. This concert tour covers her entire discography, with a set list of 44 songs divided into 10 acts.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour became a true phenomenon after hitting the theaters on October 13, and went on to earn $249 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing concert film of all time.

]]>The post Taylor Swift Embraces Her Messy Era on “The Tortured Poets Department” appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Swift is no stranger to a good breakup album, and many of her previous releases inspired fan theories and wild speculations. That was also the case with The Tortured Poets Department, and many expected it to be inspired by the fallout of her long-term relations with Joe Alwyn, but Swift has given us something else entirely.
The album’s first track, the Post Malone collaboration “Fortnight”, chronicles a brief but powerful relationship that was always doomed to fail, and the rest of Tortured Poets follows a similar formula.
Instead of focusing on a single relationship, Swift explores heartbreak in all its messy stages, walking a fine line between viciousness and vulnerability. Tortured Poets is at its strongest when Swift is ready to bear her soul, and that’s why “So Long, London” stands out as one of its most powerful tracks.
Like many of the best songs on this album and its companion piece The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, this song is produced by Aaron Dessner and not the album’s main producer Jack Antonoff. They had a pretty fruitful creative partnership for years, but Antonoff’s synth-pop tendencies don’t seem to be doing much for Swift’s sound anymore.
This is one of the biggest problems with Tortured Poets, which often sounds like an echo of her previous albums while lacking their best qualities. It has the vindictiveness of Reputation (“The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”), the synth-pop sound of Midnights (“My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys”), storytelling strengths of Folklore and Evermore (“Clara Bow”), while still failing to measure up to any of them.
Like most of Swift’s recent albums, Tortured Poets will top the charts, break a few records – maybe even win a Grammy or two. That doesn’t change the fact it’s one of her messiest outputs in recent memory, but it’s fun to see she’s not afraid to step on the dark side, now that she’s got nothing to lose.

Taylor Swift broke the internet when she announced the release of The Tortured Poets Department at the Grammys before sharing its 16-song tracklist, featuring A-list collabs with Post Malone and Florence and the Machine.
Rising star Benson Boone topped the charts around the world with his breakout hit “Beautiful Things”, and we can’t wait to hear what his debut album has in store.
Anitta is getting ready to go back to her Brazilian funk roots on her next album, and she gave us a taste of things to come with singles “Funk Rave”, “Mil Veces”, and “Joga pra Lua”.
Some of our favorite indie girls are gearing up for the release of new music this April, but St. Vincent’s All Born Screaming is definitely the most-anticipated new alternative release.

]]>Barbie came into the night with eight nominations and managed to take five trophies home. In addition to being named the movie of the year, it also won awards for the comedy movie of the year, the male and female movie star of the year (Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie), and the movie performance of the year (America Ferrera).
As for Taylor Swift, she conquered the music field with four wins, starting with the female artist of the year. She was also named the pop artist of the year and the social celebrity of the year, in addition to winning the award for the concert tour of the year with The Eras Tour.
There were no clear leaders in the TV categories, and The Kardashians, The Last of Us, and Only Murders in the Building were the only shows to walk away with two awards. Grey’s Anatomy was also among the top winners, and it defeated tough competition to be named the show of the year.
The People’s Choice Awards returned to the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on February 18, with Simu Liu serving as a host.

]]>The post 2024 Grammy Awards: Taylor Swift Makes History With “Midnights” & Teases New Album appeared first on OMG Check It Out !.
]]>Swift defeated tough competition in the likes of SZA’s SOS, Boygenius’ The Record, and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts to win album of the year, and she found a special way to thank her fans.
“I want to say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I have been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand-new album comes out April 19. It’s called The Tortured Poets Department. I’m going to go and post the cover right now backstage,” said Swift.
Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” was crowned record of the year, beating Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, SZA’s “Kill Bill”, and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire”. This song failed to repeat its success in the song of the year field, where Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” came out victorious. It was also a big night for Victoria Monét, who collected the best new artist award.
Phoebe Bridgers was the ceremony’s top winner with four accolades, including three with Boygenius. SZA, Victoria Monét, and Killer Mike also walked away with three trophies.
The 2024 Grammy Awards took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, with Trevor Noah hosting the show.

]]>1989 (Taylor’s Version) soared back to No. 1 for its fifth non-consecutive week in the tracking week ending on December 28. It earned a total of 98,000 equivalent albums, including 61,000 in album sales, 36,000 SEA units (48.5 million official streams of the set’s songs), and 1,000 TEA units.
This marks the 68th week one of Swift’s albums returned atop the Billboard 200 chart, and this number is quite historic. She single-handedly broke Elvis Presley’s record for the most weeks at No. 1 by a solo artist, while the all-time record still belongs to The Beatles, with 132 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart across 19 albums.
Swift reached the 68 mark after 13 of her chart-topping releases soared to No. 1 and spent one or more weeks on top. It all started with her 2008 sophomore album Fearless, which spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard 200, followed by Folklore (eight weeks), Red (seven weeks), and Speak Now and Midnights (six weeks each).

]]>1989 (Taylor’s Version) earned the top spot with 136,000 equivalent album units during its fourth week on the chart, joining her former No. 1 albums Midnights and Lover in the top ten. Nicki Minaj was right behind with Minaj’s Pink Friday 2, which earned 100,000 equivalent album units during its second week.
This marks Swift’s 67th week at No. 1 across all 13 of her chart-topping releases, and this number is quite impressive. She ties Elvis Presley for the most weeks at No. 1 among solo artists since Billboard 200 started regularly publishing their weekly chart in 1956. The all-time record is still held by The Beatles, who spent 132 weeks at No. 1 in the United States.
The rest of the Billboard 200 chart this week is mostly occupied by the holiday albums. Michael Bublé’s former No. 1 Christmas took the No. 4 spot with 70,000 units, along with Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song at No. 8 and Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas at No. 10.

]]>Barbie and Hollywood strikers made it to Time’s shortlist this year, but Swift managed to defeat them all. After selling out stadiums across America, topping the charts with both her albums and singles, and becoming a billionaire thanks to the success of The Eras Tour and accompanying concert film, Swift fully deserved the title of “Person of the Year”.
Swift is fully aware that it will be tough to replicate the success she found this year because “nothing is permanent”, but she intends to keep doing what she does best.
“I’m very careful to be grateful every second that I get to be doing this at this level, because I’ve had it taken away from me before. There is one thing I’ve learned: My response to anything that happens, good or bad, is to keep making things. Keep making art,” said Swift.
2023 will be a difficult year to repeat, but the record-breaking star has a lot to look forward to in the future. The Eras Tour will continue with new legs in Europe and North America, and she’s promising that the vault tracks from her upcoming Reputation re-recording are going to be “fire”.
