Taylor Swift is back with new music.

For, the pop songstress has just released her new song ‘You All Over Me’ featuring country singer Maren Morris.

“God knows, too long and wasted time / Lost tears, swore that I’d get out of here / But no amount of freedom gets you clean / I’ve still got you all over me.“

Ahead of the release of Moneybagg Yo‘s fourth studio album next month, the follow-up to 2020’s Gold-certified ‘Time Served,’ the rapper has tapped fellow hitmaker Future for the new song, ‘Hard for the Next.’

Set to feature on Yo’s forthcoming LP (reportedly titled ‘4 Federal’), ‘Next’ sees the two emcees trade bars over banging production that samples Ginuwine‘s 2001 hit, ‘Differences.’

‘Bought that bitch a Patek / I ain’t love her, I just stepped up her status / Got her cookin’ in the crib without no panties / I just jumped off the lear like a savage / I done turned another one of ’em / I can’t have love for these hoes who cappin,’ the duo raps.

After months of calls from fans, ‘Call Me By Your Name’ by Lil Nas X has finally made its way to streaming and digital outlets.

News of its arrival came as a surprise when X (born Montero Hill) announced it earlier this month (as we reported here).

Though ‘Sesame Street’ officially celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019, producers at ABC feel it’s never too late to tribute the children’s show’s enduring legacy.

For over half-a-century, Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and the gang have topped TV ratings and made history for everything from teaching the fundaments of writing, reading, and arithmetic to tackling and packaging social issues in a way children can digest.  What’s more, they’ve courted some of Hollywood’s biggest names to help them along the way.

To toast the beloved series, TIME Studios and ABC thought it fitting to assemble even more of Tinseltown’s favorites to pay homage via a 2-hour TV special.
