All roads lead to October 29 for Ed Sheeran, who will be unwrapping his new album ‘= (Equals)’ on said date.

Preceded by smash hit singles ‘Bad Habits’ and ‘Shivers,’ the LP serves as the chart-topper’s first full-length solo effort in four years and is considered one of 2021’s most eagerly anticipated offerings.

Ahead of its arrival, Sheeran has teamed up with YouTube to preview the entire project using the service’s new Shorts feature.

The pairing with YouTube is a natural one given that the star has been omnipresent on the platform since his first upload in 2006 – a significant time before his commercial breakthrough.

It’s officially ‘Red’ season, according to Taylor Swift.

In her first Instagram Reel video, she wants it to be known that it is red everything. She wears a red ballgown with ruby earrings, a red manicure and a custom ‘Red’ ring.

Swift then proceeds to end the video by showcasing a red box and a red bow, however, she did not reveal what was in it. Her fans – affectionately called #Swifties – will likely have to wait until ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’ is released on November 12 to find out.

However, she did share a surprise with fans. In the video, she also share a preview of the album’s title track.

Tonight brought with it one of the premiere screenings of Warner Bros‘ ‘King Richard’ at the London Film Festival 2021.

Anchored by Will Smith in the titular role, the spirited biopic is centered on the life of Richard Williams – the father of tennis legends Venus  & Serena Williams. 

Beyond the film’s stunning performances (and trust, they were indeed stunning. Especially that of Aunjanue Ellis, who is captivating in the role of matriarch Brandi), one of the film’s other major attractions is its end credits track – ‘Be Alive’ sung by the incomparable Beyonce.

Already deemed an early Oscars favorite by critics who saw the film last month, That Grape Juice echos those sentiments having heard the track moments ago.
