BFFs 80s steeze and a new friend collected Last night was all about Sam Smith’s coat. That coat! It took me back. Back to 80s London pop. Before Rick Astley was properly appreciated.

BFFs All of Taylor’s emotions At this point I think she should just change the name of the song to Lonely Starbucks Lovers. Yes, I can read the lyrics. But all I HEAR is “Lonely Starbucks Lovers”. And reading your emails and tweets, it seems you are the same. I love that they had to By Lainey • Nov 24, 2014 09:25 am

Dumbass Taylor Swift + Lorde vs Katy Perry You know the bad blood between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, right? Taylor even wrote a song about it. Girl Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t, but some Girl Sh-t is embarrassing…because, God, this is over John Mayer. What a waste. Katy is now dating Diplo. And yesterday, Diplo, seemingly By Lainey • Nov 13, 2014 12:30 pm
Taylor Swift Taylor Swift’s Blank Space I’m telling you, I keep telling you, Taylor Swift’s 1989 is GOOOOOOOD. And it gets better on repeat. That’s all I had on repeat last week on holiday.

Girly Throw Downs The Amy & Tina of Country The CMA Awards happened last night in Nashville. Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley hosted again. And they are GREAT at it, as comfortable as Amy Poehler and Tina Fey at the Golden Globes, and just as willing to go there.

Baby and Bump Obsession Beyonce’s second surprise? There’s a rumour going around about a new “surprise” album which… wouldn’t be a surprise anymore if it’s true.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Taylor’s green stripe I don’t think I like it. It’s the wrong green. Or maybe I would like it more if… THAT HAIR!!! Do something about that Hilary Clinton hair! By Lainey • Oct 28, 2014 04:47 pm
