Despite her lifelong ties to the role, she still had to prove herself for the big budget movie musical.

Genre is very easily blurred these days in music, especially with more artists having creative control over their output. So while most artists compete in one genre field at the Grammys, this year we’ve got multiple artists that could maximize their nominations potential and submit in multiple fields thanks to their ability to cross genre lines so effectively.
SEEWhy Zach Bryan could be a dark horse contender at the 2024 Grammys
Taylor Swift
This year’s biggest music star is likely to vie for multiple genre awards this year at the Grammys with the success of her albums “Midnights” and “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” While the former is undoubtedly a pop record, the latter is likely to be submitted in country categories, just like the original version. Will Swift be nominated in both? Maybe. She’s definitely locked in the pop categories, and there’s a good chance something...

The Glastonbury 2023 headliners have been announced by Emily Eavis.
The festival’s co-organiser shared the news in an article discussing “pipeline” problems related to the all-male headlining line-up.
Joining Elton John will be Arctic Monkeys on the Friday, headlining for their third time, with Guns N’ Roses playing the Saturday slot.
Eavis said that Guns N’ Roses replaced a female singer who “changed her touring plans”.
While Eavis didn’t name names, it’s strongly suspected she was alluding to Taylor Swift, who was originally set to perform in 2020 when the festival was cancelled due to Covid.
However, Eavis expressed excitement about the “Sweet Child O’ Mine” rockers’ Glastonbury debut, telling The Guardian: “They’ll be brilliant and provide something totally different to the rest of the headliners.”
She said that Lizzo will “open” for the band, with the “About Damn Time” singer receiving joint headline billing on the poster.
