Just hours after sending her beloved fans (affectionately called #Swifties) into a frenzy with the sneak peek at the music video for her next single ‘Patient Zero,’ Pop diva Taylor Swift has delivered the full version of the tune ahead of its accompanying visual’s premiere at the VMAs on Sunday (September 27).

“But if you wanna party with somebody who might know / About the devil on his shoulder under his halo / When the toxins take their hold, you’d rather die than let it go / But if you’re sick of him, I got you, I was patient zero,” she sings over Max Martin production.

Arrived to digital shelves on Friday (September 25), the song comes as the first taste of previously unheard music set to line Swift’s forthcoming ‘The Life of a Showgirl: the Encore‘ – the official extended version of her history-making 2025 album ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’

Expanding the original’s tracklist by four new songs – ‘Zero,’ ‘Babylon,’ ‘Pink Clouding,’ and ‘Cleveland’ – hop inside to stream the revamped LP courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.

Just two years after making music history with their first joint effort ‘Rain Down on Me,’ Gospel icon Kirk Franklin and Rap diva GloRilla are undoubtedly looking to repeat the feat with their reunion single ‘This Time.’

The latest taste of new music from Franklin’s October 30-due new album ‘I Am What I Am‘ (set to be delivered via a new partnership with Uptown Records), the heavily teased, horn-filled ‘Time’ rings the alarm on the 20-time GRAMMY winner’s next era in a seriously triumphant way.

“Feel it inside this time / We gon’ be fine this time / We gon’ be fine, we gon’ be / Hands in thе air, hands in the air,” declares Kirk and choir over a familiar Maxwell Stark-produced beat.

Longtime Hip-Hop fans will be able to point out that ‘Time’ is buoyed by a prominent sample of Shawty Lo‘s 2007 smash ‘Dey Know.’

Released Friday (September 25), hear the new tune in full inside.

Texas, stand up!

After taking social media by storm over the summer with her inescapable hit ‘Pink Blush‘ (even getting nods from the likes of Madonna and Rihanna), rising rapstress Dolly Babe has gotten another big-named music diva on board: Megan Thee Stallion.

Albeit in an official capacity this time, the Houston-based Stallion joined forces with self-proclaimed “West Dallas Princess” to give the Lone Star State some royal shine with their unexpected union.

“Now he wanna lick my bombaclaat, my ratatatata (He do) / Got him goin’ crazy for that poonananana (He is) / I get what I want, I got that, ooh, shalakalaka (I do) / He do what I say for that um-a-dahda-dahda (Dolly),” Baby raps over an infectious DanielWsp-produced chorus.

Having already accumulated buzz that’s sent hype around it into the stratosphere, the Megan touch may be just what the doctor ordered to help the song finally crack the Billboard Hot 100.

Released Friday (September 25), hear the official ‘Pink Blush’ remix inside.

Buoyed by an unmistakable sample of Bill Withers‘ 1977 classic ‘A Lovely Day,’ new song ‘A Good Day’ – the latest from Anderson. Paak and Cordae – pays respect to its sonic predecessor while giving the iconic tune a modern 2026 twist.

Another taste of what fans can expect from the duo’s forthcoming collaborative album ‘Heavy Is the Crown‘ (due on digital shelves October 23), ‘Good’ arrived to the Web accompanied by a cinematic music video that pays tribute another classic from yesteryear: Ice Cube‘s ‘Friday’ film franchise.

“I wake up in the mornin’ thinkin’ what we gon’ do today? / ‘Cause this shit don’t feel the same, it just don’t feel the same / Oh, I wake up in the mornin’ thinkin’ how we gon’ ease the pain / ‘Cause all they gon’ do is hate, but they can’t get in the way,” sings Paak.

Boasting a cameo from ‘My Wife and Kids’ actress Jennifer Freeman, look inside to see the hilarious action directed by Dave Meyers.
