Taylor Swift has done it again, folks. On August 28, 2022 while accepting her record-breaking third Video of the Year award — and after acknowledging that for the first time, there were four (!!!) women directors in the category — Swift announced that she would be releasing her brand new album Midnights on October 21, 2022. It was her first new album since evermore in December 2020, and with the magical feel of fire and Swift's makeup, we are loving the grunge-meets-glitter aesthetic.
With lyrics like "And it's 2 a.m. and I'm cursing your name" in "The Way I Loved You" and "The lingering question kept me up. 2 a.m., who do you love?" in "Enchanted," we knew this was one concept album Swift would knock out of the park. And she did not disappoint — it's definitely one of her best albums! Keep reading for everything you need to know about Midnights, the Eras Tour, and all her surprise songs.
Is Taylor Swift in Bridgerton?

Yes, a Midnights song is featured in season 3 ofBridgerton, which drops May 16! "Snow on the Beach" will play during an episode of the series, and considering this is my favorite Taylor Swift song, I am over the moon. Here's the rest of the tracklist for now:
- “abcdefu” (Gayle) by Vitula
- “Dynamite” (BTS) by Vitamin String Quartet
- “Jealous” (Nick Jonas) by Shimmer
- “Cheap Thrills” (Sia) by Vitamin String Quartet
- “Happier Than Ever” (Billie Eilish) by Vitamin String Quartet
- “Snow on the Beach” (Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey) by Atwood Quartet
- “Give Me Everything” (Pitbull) by Archer Marsh
How many 2024 Grammy nominations does Taylor Swift's Midnights have?

The 2024 Grammy nominations were announced on November 10 and Taylor Swift got a total of six nominations: Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights, Best Pop Solo Performance for "Anti-Hero", Best Pop Duo/Group Performance “Karma (feat. Ice Spice)", Song of the Year for “Anti-Hero” with Jack Antonoff, Record of the Year for "Anti-Hero", and Album of the Year for Midnights.
She ended up winning Best Pop Vocal Album — but Taylor Swift's Midnights also won Album of the Year, making her the first person in history to win the award four times. Taylor continues to break records and we are totally here for it!
How many songs does Midnights have?

Taylor Swift's Midnights features 13 songs (which also happens to be her lucky number). We finally got the full tracklist on October 7 — or so we thought. After the whole album dropped at midnight on October 21, Swift made a surprise drop of seven extra tracks at 3am!
The album features some collabs. Track 4, "Snow On The Beach," features Lana Del Rey. We're over the moon because this has been a featured artist we've wanted for so long! Not only is Del Rey singing but Dylan O'Brien (who starred in All Too Well: The Short Film) plays the drums on the track.
Swift worked with Jack Antonoff to produce Midnights, and wrote songs with Antonoff, Joe Alwyn, and Zoë Kravitz, among others. Jack opened up to Vulture about the process of recording the album, and admitted his close friendship with Taylor helped the process more than just about anything else — and how Midnights' closer might not have made it onto the album!
"We made the bulk of [Midnights] in my apartment," he says in the interview. "['Mastermind'] a strange little song, and it just reminded me of the kind of thing that you can do with really close friends, whereas if it was a new relationship, you might not be able to dare to suck. Like, just try some weird shit. Because every once in a while, when you really throw yourself out there, you actually get the stuff that’s the most brilliant."
What is the Eras Tour?

This is the first time Taylor Swift has gone on tour since ending the Reputation tour in 2018. Taylor Swift's newest tour covers all of her "eras, stories, songs, and late nights" together. Not only will fans get to see Swift but her opening acts include names like Paramore, Gracie Abrams, and Phoebe Bridgers. We're freaking out. As Miss Swift herself once said, "Baby let the games begin!"
Taylor also announced International Dates on June 20 and the second leg of the US tour on August 3! (Plus some extra Canadian dates November 2!) It's never too late to break out your best Taylor Swift costume and figure out concert tickets 👀.
In her December 2023 Person of the Year profile with TIME Magazine, Taylor talked about how she's known the tour was a big deal from the very beginning.
“I knew this tour was harder than anything I’d ever done before by a long shot,” she says. “Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud...Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs.”
Taylor used a program her gym created just for her to help with her stamina, and worked with choreographer Mandy Moore, who BFF Emma Stone recommended. “I had three months of dance training, because I wanted to get it in my bones,” Taylor tells TIME. But instead of only training for endurance, she wanted to train for an even more important reason: “I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought.”
And that's exactly what happened! Taylor has become so comfortable and confident onstage that she can make funny faces, improv dance moves, and mess around with her background dancers — and the show continues without a hitch. It's genuinely fun to watch and even more fun to recreate her dances! Taylor also admits that after a stretch of shows, she takes an entire day to relax and eat in bed, which might be the most relatable thing she's ever said.
Is You're Losing Me on Spotify?
Yes, "You're Losing Me" is finally on Spotify! In honor of Spotify naming Taylor Swift their Top Global Artist, she released the fan favorite track on streaming platforms. Before November 29, it had only been on exclusive physical copies of Midnights!
What is the Eras Tour Concert Film?

Taylor Swift fans can relive their concert experience thanks to the Eras Tour Concert Film, a fall movie that Taylor says "has been the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far."
"I’m overjoyed to tell you that it’ll be coming to the big screen soon," Taylor Swift continues in an Instagram post. "Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged." You can stream an alternate version on Disney+ now!
What is Midnights about?
Image via Taylor Swift/UMG
Midnights chronicles over a dozen different sleepless nights throughout Taylor's life. Fans speculated whether it would have a toned-down, alternative sound or be a rock album like the one fans are convinced was supposed to drop in 2016. Turns out, it has more of a dreamy, ethereal pop finish that feels like 1989and reputation's big sister. Once again, Swift masterfully pairs an upbeat, glittery sound with deep and emotional lyrics for an unbeatable combo.
As far as lyrics go, the songs cover the kind of love, heartbreak, and self-loathing that keep Swift (and us) up at night. Our favorite lines so far are "Falling in a dream/Stars by the pocketful" from "Snow on the Beach" and "Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man" from "Vigilante Shit."
"You should find another guiding light, guiding light/But I shine so bright" from "Dear Reader" is another memorable line that reveals how difficult it is for Swift to have so many people looking to her in moments when it feels like her life is falling apart.
Where can I listen to Midnights?

Taylor Swift had a whole release week schedule full of late night appearances, music video drops, and record + CD drops. You can listen to the album on Spotify and Apple Music.
Are there any exclusive editions?

There are three alternate versions of Midnights. The cool thing is that when you put all four together, the images on the back turn into a clock! You can also buy the Midnights and displays. Taylor also announced on May 24, 2023 that her shows in East Rutherford, New Jersey (which she's playing May 26, 27, and 28) would be selling a special edition CD featuring the Midnights vault track "You're Losing Me."

Wondering if you're eligible? Any business operating in the state of California, with 1 to 750 employees, is eligible. You just need to be a business entity (Sole Proprietor, LLC, Cooperative, Corporation, Partnership, S-Corporation, or Not-For-Profit), and operate in an eligible industry according to the 2022 NAICS codes (read: a legit business).
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Fill out a short pre-application questionnaire that takes just minutes to complete. No credit check required!
Step 2: Based on your eligibility, they’ll match you with lenders who fit your needs.
Step 3: Review details about each lender, select the one you like, and they’ll connect you with them.
Step 4: The lender will reach out within three business days to complete the application process. (You’ll also get their contact info so you can follow up directly.)
Most California Small Business Loan Match lenders are certified as Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), which means they offer competitive rates but specialize in helping borrowers who don’t meet the rigid lending criteria of traditional banks — for example, small businesses that have a lower credit score, a prior defaulted loan, or no up-front collateral. CDFIs specialize in helping people in lower-income communities too, and offer a much more flexible and affordable repayment plan than online lenders or Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) loans.
Check them out to help you grow your business, meeting our mission to help you succeed! Good luck!

It's no secret that each season of Bridgerton focuses on a new couple within the titular Bridgerton family — and season 3 (which drops its first four episodes on May 16) is all about Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Not only did series lead Nicola Coughlan tell us that she loves how Penelope is "becoming a woman and finding her self-worth — that side of her I really loved getting to play. It was great," but Nicola and Luke Newton also received some awesome advice from their onscreen siblings Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey that's actually super relatable.
Image via Netflix
At the New York premiere during the Bridgerton World Tour, Simone Ashley (who plays season 2 lead Kate Sharma) revealed her advice was to find a friend. "Me and Nicola would check in on each other," she tells People. "She is such an inspiration to me and I learned so much from her and there were times she was giving me advice. So, it was just what an amazing thing to have in your work environment."
Luke Newton had a similar approach to the new season after watching his onscreen brother Jonathan Bailey, who plays Kate's husband Anthony Bridgerton, handle his turn in the spotlight. “We talk all the time, and it was really nice in season 2 seeing how he conducted himself on set, knowing that I’d be next,” Luke says in an interview with InStyle. "[He's] been there kind of the whole way for me.
I love seeing the relationships between all the Bridgerton cast members unfold as time moves on. Whether it's Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton) reuniting with Jonathan Bailey at a red carpet, or it's Hannah Dodd (Francesca Bridgerton) screaming about how she loves Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton) in our interview for the series, it's clear this cast LOVES each other. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

Get ready to bend and snap like never before, because not only are we getting a Legally Blonde 3 movie, but a Legally Blonde TV show is also coming to Prime Video! The new TV show will serve as a spinoff of The Morning Show star's franchise from the early 2000s (plus Legally Blondes — IYKYK). Keep reading for all the important info that'll make you want to use legal jargon in everyday life ;).
Is there a Legally Blonde TV show?
Image via Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
Yes, a Legally Blonde TV show is coming to Prime Video! The official logline of the show promises it "follows Elle Woods in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first ‘Legally Blonde’ film."
Deadline sources say Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine will be behind the series based on the beloved film franchise. Nobody knows Legally Blonde as well as Reese, so if she has any kind of creative input, I know it's going to be worth watching!
Will Reese Witherspoon be in the Legally Blonde TV show?
Image via Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios/IMDb
There's no word on the cast yet, but considering the series is a prequel, we probably won't see Reese Witherspoon back as Elle. However, I'd love for her to make a cameo! (This could also be the perfect opportunity for Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe to make her acting debut!) Either way, it looks like Reese will still be involved in the production of the show.
“I truly couldn’t be more excited about this series! Fans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do. What could be better than that?!” Reese says in a statement to Variety. “Legally Blonde is back!”
Who's working on Reese Witherspoon's Legally Blonde TV show?

The new Legally Blonde TV show will reportedly be written by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who developed and executive produced Gossip Girl. Legally Blonde producer Marc Platt will also work on the series alongside Hello Sunshine's Lauren Neustadter. Creator Laura Kittrell will be showrunner and executive producer.
When can I watch Reese Witherspoon's Legally Blonde TV show?
Image via Metro Goldwyn Mayer
The new Legally Blonde TV show is in the earliest stages of pre-production right now, so it'll be quite a while before we're able to cozy up on the couch to watch (wearing our best pink pajamas, of course). Until then, you can stream Legally Blonde, Legally Blonde 2, and Legally Blondes on Max as many times as you want.
How old was Reese Witherspoon when she shot Legally Blonde?
Image via Vince Bucci/Getty Images
Reese Witherspoon was around 24 or 25 years old when she shot the first Legally Blonde movie. Aside from the fact that Reese embodies Elle Woods better than anyone, her age works perfectly because Elle is a college senior at the beginning of the film, meaning the character is also in her early 20s.
