Maple Leaf Celine’s week in New York You guys, I’ve just realised that we’re now in March 2020 and this is my first post about Celine Dion all year, what the F-CK. Sorry. It’s just that there haven’t been all that many pictures. She also lost her ma a month ago and, well, By Lainey • Mar 02, 2020 01:53 pm
Maple Leaf Alanis: “Reasons I Drink” It’s music video week. Here’s another one and I think, of all the videos we’ve talked about today, including BTS, and I do LOVE BTS so much, and their video is epic and wonderful, but this one might be the one that affected me most. That’s By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 03:18 pm
Music BTS “ON” Film It’s music video day so let’s keep it going. Not that it’s a competition but what was the biggest video that’s dropped today? It depends on how you measure “big”, right? And there’s no one right way to measure it. Taylor Swift is a global By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 01:00 pm
Music Harry Styles too I would like to go back and rewrite today’s open and take out the word “apparently” and replace it somewhere with definitely because it IS in fact music video release week. Taylor Swift, BTS, SZA and Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga tonight at midnight. And also Harry Styles. FALLING. TOMORROW. By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 11:38 am
Music SZA: JT’s better side The sequel to Trolls, Trolls World Tour, is coming out in April. I didn’t see the first movie. I don’t plan on seeing the second movie. But I am, like you, familiar with the song that came out of Trolls: Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling” By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 09:46 am
Music Taylor Swift is “The Man” Taylor Swift’s strength is not subtlety. And she leans all the way into that – or away from it – in her video for “The Man”, which she directed, wrote, owns, and stars in. Sure, there may be some Easter eggs for her fans throughout, but for those who don’t By Lainey • Feb 27, 2020 09:14 am
Music Intro for February 27, 2020 Dear Gossips, Apparently it’s music video release week. BTS will drop another video for “ON” today after already breaking YouTube records with the Kinetic Manifesto visual for “ON” that came out last week.

Music BTS Carpool Karaoke I feel vindicated today. Sasha’s been mocking my BTS obsession for weeks. This morning she texted, probably after watching them on Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. Her message: “I do think my goal is to laugh as much as BTS.” Exactly. That’s exactly why, as I wrote yesterday, By Lainey • Feb 26, 2020 01:56 pm
Music Taylor directs Taylor Taylor Swift made an announcement yesterday. She’s releasing a new video – and that’s noteworthy for sure, but what makes it even more noteworthy is that, well, this: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on Feb 26, 2020 at 5:01am PST Directed By Lainey • Feb 26, 2020 11:34 am
Music BTS on The Tonight Show BTS took over The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon last night and also Twitter. They were trending before the show started and then as soon as the show began, several hashtags related to their appearance dominated on the platform, including #JungkookEnglish because at one point, during Jimmy’s interview with By Lainey • Feb 25, 2020 04:17 pm
Quiveration BTS: The Dirty Hair Era If you’re new to BTS, one of the most basic things to know about the band is that their career has progressed through eras. I don’t want to get too granular about this but an era for BTS isn’t exactly limited to a one album cycle – sometimes By Lainey • Feb 21, 2020 03:21 pm
Baby and Bump Obsession Intro for February 21, 2020 Dear Gossips, Beyoncé has been pretty quiet since the IVY PARK x adidas drop. That’s the way of our Queen. She never lets us know what she’s doing until she’s good and ready to let us know what she’s been doing. If she’s doing anything. By Lainey • Feb 21, 2020 09:39 am
Music ARMY, are you ready? I’m not f-cking ready and I’m not even technically a member of the BTS ARMY. My friends are As IF-ing me right now because all I ever do, every day and multiple times now for weeks, is text them or make them come over and talk to me By Lainey • Feb 20, 2020 03:56 pm
Maple Leaf Intro for February 18. 2020 Dear Gossips, Have you seen the video of Justin Bieber getting emotional while talking about Billie Eilish? He’s one of the few people who’d understand what she’s experiencing, what fame can do to a young person, the downside of success and spotlight. It must have been a By Lainey • Feb 18, 2020 09:47 am
Music Intro for February 17, 2020 Dear Gossips, It’s been about four years since I started mentioning BTS on this site. And, generally, I’ve been able to keep my obsession in check. But, man, the last few weeks have been out of control as we approach the release of their new album, Map of By Lainey • Feb 17, 2020 09:43 am
Douchebags Tipsy Taylor and Joe in London You wouldn’t think the NME Awards would be an awards show where Taylor Swift would show up but since she spends so much time in London now, she made a surprise appearance last night to receive the Best Solo Act award and Joe Alwyn was with her.
