Taylor Swift Drops New Unreleased Song

Taylor Swift is the world-famous pop star known for her riveting style of romantic songs that just take hold of you in a way that is modern, poetic, and nostalgic at the same time. Her latest album, Midnights, which came out in 2022, was once again on top of many charts and, overall, her fifth to sell over a million copies in the very first week in the US.

 It also became her first album to sell over a million physical copies in the last seven years. Now, Swift is all set to go on tour with multiple singers and performers opening for her. She will be touring in multiple locations in the US as well as Argentina for the brand new tour. The singer-songwriter just dropped four new songs right before the tour, and the hype has become unreal.

Tour and Music

Taylor Swift released previously recorded music. “In celebration of The Eras Tour I’m releasing 4 previously unreleased songs tonight at midnight,” the artist revealed in an Instagram post before revealing the songs. 

The four tracks include two tracks from her The Hunger Games soundtrack, which includes Eyes Open and Safe & Sound, which feature artists Joy Williams and John Paul White. She also released If This Was a Movie (Taylor’s Version) and a new song titled All The Girls You’ve Loved Before

The tour begins on Friday, the 17th of March, in Glendale, Arizona. Interestingly enough, the city has been named Swift City in honor of the artist’s first performance during the Eras Tour. This is Swift’s first time going on tour since the COVID-19 pandemic. Obviously, she has come up with a brilliant lineup of supporting acts for the show.

The artists will include indie sensation Phoebe Bridgers, beabadoobee, Paramore, Muna, girl in red, Gayle, Haim, Gracie Adams, as well as Owenn. 

Taylor’s Re-recordings

As some may have noticed, three of the four songs are part of the artist’s re-recording run. Swift fans must be more than familiar with the legal issues and conflict over intellectual property that Swift had to go through with previous collaborator Scooter Braun. As a result, Taylor took the brave and bold step to re-record all of her previous songs and release them all over again.

The move was appreciated by many, and still more look up to the artist for sticking up for herself up against production houses and selfish investors like Braun. The only new song, All The Girls You Loved Before, is speculated to be an unreleased item from the 2019 album of the artist titled Lover. 

Interestingly, earlier this year, the song was leaked out on TikTok, which had fans reeling and begging to ask for an official release. Looks like Swift just heard her fans out and officially put the song out right before the Eras Tour. 

The song was recorded after she joined Republic Records leaving behind Big Machine. This is the reason the popular title of Taylor’s Version is missing from this song. It has been a long time since fans received brand-new content that was recorded ages ago and had nothing to do with Braun. 

Another one of the new songs, If We Were A Movie, is considered to be a part of a bigger project. Swift is rumored to be working on an unannounced version of her old album Speak Now. This will be a deluxe album that might see other new unreleased songs and many of Taylor’s versions as the re-recording of her intellectual property continues. Looks like Swift has left her hurtful past behind to make millions with every move she makes. 

As an award-winning author, Stacey Connor has authored five novels. Her book, 'Where No Gods Came' went on to win both the Minnesota Book Award and the Michigan Literary Prize. It was picked by Barnes and Nobles for its Discover Great New Writers selection.

Star Wars Celebration 2025 Announced

Published

Star Wars Celebration

Disney had to shut the door on 2023’s Star Wars Celebration. But with that being out of the way, the forces have announced the next time they’ll be celebrating the franchise. So, in a galaxy far, far away, fans and celebrities from the franchise will come together and rejoice in the name of the force. The next Celebration will happen in 2025, sounds a bit too far, doesn’t it? 

Star Wars Celebration In Japan

Celebration cinema movies and so much more await fans in Japan. What an interesting choice to hold the next Star Wars Celebration. What’s more fascinating is that Disney has completely overlooked the year 2024 as a potential candidate. But it’s not all that bewildering if you think it through. There are absolutely no Star Wars movies planned in the coming years. It would be ideal to take a short break for this very reason.

Japanese fans are always known for taking things one step further with their cosplays and conventions. This time, disney+ japan has brought everyone to Central Tokyo, home of one of Japan’s biggest convention centers. 

Nicely placed in the Makuhari Messe district, this convention center will welcome thousands of fans from all over the world on the 18th of April 2025. The celebration will go on until the 20th of April. 

Would it surprise you if we were to say the 2025 edition is not the first time Disney has picked Japan as its host? Back in 2008, Japan hosted another Star Wars Celebration. It’s outlandish but in the best way because usually, fans in the U.K. and the U.S. get to host the celebration. Imagine not having London hotels to stay in this time around. Perhaps this time, a cool little sleeping pod at a Japanese hotel can be fans’ mainstay.

Thanks to everyone’s favorite, COVID-19, the fan-gathering was called off in 2020. So the next time you get to go, know that it’s been five years since then. Hopefully, Pedro Pascal shows up and lightens up everyone’s mood at the convention.

If you were born in the 90s, David Crosby might just be your favorite singer and songwriter. He may have produced and created some of your favorite songs and given birth to some of your favorite genres. David Crosby was a big contributor to folk rock as well as psychedelia. The man gave us great hits like Long Time Gone, Turn! Turn! Turn!, and also Wooden Ships.

Did you know that Crosby may just be responsible for your favorite rock songs just as much as he was responsible for finding and fueling the whole genre of folk rock? He was one of the few members of the group who helped and introduced the intoxicating California Sound in music. To everyone’s shock and grief, Crosby died peacefully in his sleep. The culprit? COVID-19.

David Crosby Died of COVID-19

The news is from January. It’s a sobering thought when you realize many of our favorite 90s musicians are slowly retiring to heaven. What could possibly go wrong? Well, an awful lot. Firstly, Crosby’s contributions to rock made him an absolute legend, so a whole wave of artists is saddened. But also, we will never get any more new music from him.

The sentiment resonated with his former bandmate, Graham Nash. Nash broke the news telling the world that their favorite musician was still practicing for a show before he passed. He appeared on a podcast called Kyle Meredith With…

“He was rehearsing for a show to do in Los Angeles with a full band,” said Nash on the podcast. “After three days of rehearsals, he felt a little sick. And he’d already had COVID, and he had COVID again. And so he went home and decided that he would take a nap, and he never woke up. But he died in his bed, and that is fantastic,”

David Crosby’s Documentary

Nash also said how Crosby living up to being 80 was “astonishing.” With the current life expectancy levels paired up with Crosby’s liver issues. You may have expected the man to die a lot earlier, say about twenty years ago. At least, that’s what Nash thought. You may not have heard of a fantastic documentary made on our daytime legend. It rightfully chronicled all his struggles with life, health, and all things personal.

However, old fans may be familiar with a recent documentary titled remember my name. The documentary, directed by A.J. Eaton, showed our beloved rockstar in his rawest form. It talked about David Crosby’s regrets, fears, and so much more. The perfect watch for you if you’re a Crosby megafan.

His legend lives on for longer after Crosby last closed his eyes on the 18th of January, 2023. He also worked with The Lighthouse Band back in December 2022. The band included Michelle Willis, Becca Stevens, and Michael League. With them, Crosby released his own album, David Crosby & The Lighthouse Band: Live at the Capitol Theatre. You can also stream the album from platforms such as Spotify.

FAQ

Question: What did David Crosby say before he died?

Answer: Famous people and their famous last words, something you can never quite get enough of. Crosby had a column where he would answer questions for fans like you and us. Here’s what he told a fan as his last piece of advice: “If we quit trying, it all goes in the sh-utter.” What a massive man, what a massive heart.

Question: What illness did David Crosby have?

Answer: The COVID-19 virus was what ultimately claimed Crosby’s life. Even at the age of 81, Crosby died doing what he loved most. Making and performing your favorite songs.

Question: Did Phil Collins pay for David Crosby’s liver transplant?

Answer: Did you know? Phil Collins actually partially paid for David Crosby’s liver transplant back in 1994.

Question: How many biological children does David Crosby have?

Answer: David Crosby had two sons and two daughters. The sons include Django and James, and the daughters are Erika and Donovan. Everyone loves a man of the music and a man of the family.
