Taylor Swift continues her reign as the queen of the charts. Just hours after dropping Reputation (Taylor’s Version) — the highly anticipated re-recording of her 2017 album — the project shattered Spotify’s record for the most-streamed album in a single day by a female artist.

Swift took to Instagram to thank fans, writing, “This album was a battle cry. Reclaiming it has been emotional, cathartic, and empowering. Thank you for fighting alongside me.” The re-release includes five “From the Vault” tracks, one of which features longtime friend Selena Gomez, sparking joy among Swifties everywhere.

Zendaya to Star in Next Big Sci-Fi Epic

Fresh off her Dune: Part Two press tour and a wildly successful Met Gala appearance, Zendaya is set to star in Nova Terra, a high-concept sci-fi film directed by Christopher Nolan. According to sources, the film will explore humanity’s migration to a new planet in the wake of environmental collapse.

With Nolan’s visionary storytelling and Zendaya’s magnetic screen presence, expectations are sky-high.
