Taylor Swift Helped The Hottest Rapper In The World Hit No. 1 For The First Time A Decade Ago
A decade ago, Taylor Swift was one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. It seems that not much has changed in 10 years, as the singer-songwriter continues to dominate the global music industry, albeit in slightly different ways. In the spring of 2014, Swift was heavily promoting her album 1989, her first pure pop project. The title had already produced a number of smashes, and Swift was not slowing down. On the chart dated June 6, 2015, 'Bad Blood' rocketed from No. 53 to No. 1 on the Hot 100. As it did, Swift added to her growing collection of champions, while the artist featured on the tune earned his first. When 'Bad Blood' bolted to the summit on the Hot 100, Kendrick Lamar collected his first champion on the list of the most-consumed songs in the nation. Prior to that point, he had proved himself to be not just a superstar, but one of the most interesting musicians in hip-hop. He'd earned critical acclaim and commercial success, but he had yet to top the Hot 100. Much of Lamar's output by that point had been his own, as he was not yet a big enough draw for well-known acts outside of the rap vertical to recruit. Swift jumped on his growing popularity and talent, and his verse on 'Bad Blood' lent the track some credibility. The collaboration turned the pop tune into a hip-hop/pop hybrid, making it more palatable for a larger audience. Lamar's presence certainly helped Swift send 'Bad Blood' to No. 1 on the Hot 100. It's not clear if the tune would have ruled the ranking had it remained a solo affair, but the combination was smart for both acts. Before 'Bad Blood,' Swift had topped the Hot 100 three times. She earned her first No. 1 in 2012 with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' from her album Red. 1989 produced a trio of winners ahead of 'Bad Blood,' with 'Shake It Off' and 'Blank Space' both reaching the top position in 2014. Once 'Bad Blood' took over the charts in America and became the biggest song, both artists won. Swift showed just how huge 1989 was with a third No. 1, and it wouldn't even be the last big hit from the project. Lamar demonstrated that, in addition to being a beloved and respected rapper, he had what it takes to produce pop hits as well — or at least be involved in them. He also showed that his star power had reached a point where even the biggest names in the industry came to him for a verse, which is a highly desired position for any hip-hop artist. 'Bad Blood' went on to score a pair of Grammy nominations. While Swift and Lamar lost Best Pop Duo/Group Performance to 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, the track claimed Best Music Video. Lamar even beat himself that year, as his own 'Alright' was nominated at the same time in that vertical. In the decade since 'Bad Blood' took over the Hot 100, both artists have added to their list of Hot 100 rulers. Swift has more than doubled her total accumulation of winners on the chart, adding eight more champions to her total following 'Bad Blood.' Lamar has collected five additional leaders, including three in 2024 alone. If 'Bad Blood' did not exist, both Swift and Lamar would still be superstars. They would both continue to rack up hits and win Grammys, but the tune is still important to both of them, and it ranks among their most successful on the Hot 100, even a decade on.

What to do in Chicago: Blues Fest, the ‘Grand National Tour' and Jeremy Piven doing standup
Kendrick Lamar and SZA: You got a taste during the Super Bowl, but now you can see the full show. Kendrick Lamar and SZA bring their 'Grand National Tour' to a sold-out Soldier Field. Expect the two to trade off sets before performing together during the nearly three-hour show. Rolling Stone called it 'a spellbinding display of star power.' Chicago Blues Festival: Mavis Staples caps off the Chicago Blues Festival on Sunday, but in the meantime, you have dozens of reasons to head downtown. Catch Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram Friday in a B.B. King tribute, along with D.K. Harrell and Jonathan Ellison with the B.B. King Centennial Band. Or, see him Saturday night when he headlines on his own. 57th Street Art Fair: If you'd like to browse some art and also work in some blues, head to Hyde Park. Now in its 78th year, the juried fair offers the opportunity to browse the works of more than 150 artists. Buddy Guy's Legends also hosts a stage. Jeremy Piven: Evanston native Jeremy Piven brings his stand-up routine to The Vic. Perhaps best known for his Emmy Award-winning performance as a Hollywood agent in HBO's 'Entourage,' Piven has had a long acting career that started with training at the Piven Theatre Workshop, founded by his parents, Bryce and Joyce Piven. Caamp: The folk-rock band's two-night stand at the Salt Shed coincides with the release of their new album, 'Copper Changes Color.' Following an initial burst of success a few years back, the Ohio-bred Caamp canceled shows in 2023 to work on their mental health. This international tour marks their return — and clearly they've been missed. Ravinia Festival: Get thee to the Metra! Ravinia kicks off its summer season this weekend with Heart on Friday and Grace Jones and Janelle Monáe on Saturday. Ann and Nancy Wilson return to Ravinia with the rest of Heart, marking the 50th anniversary of the release of their debut album, 'Dreamboat Annie.' Then, on Saturday, Jones and Monáe light up Highland Park as only they can. Get there early for LGBTQ+ dance party Queen! Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals: Last month, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter released a new song, 'Before the Rain Dried.' Now he's on a world summer tour that stops at the Auditorium Theatre before rolling on to a couple dozen other venues, including the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Lincoln Park Greek Fest: Maybe you've been to Greektown, but have you enjoyed the filoxenia — hospitality — of the Lincoln Park Greek Fest? Centered around St. George Greek Orthodox Church, the festival offers a mix of traditional Greek music and folk dancing, Greek food and a lot of the standard fixings of a Chicago summer festival. Ribfest Chicago: Smoke will rise in Northcenter this weekend, as crowds gather to binge on barbecue. It's the 25th annual Ribfest, featuring more than 20 food vendors, whiskey tastings, live music and kids entertainment. Dinopalooza Dino Derby: Faster than a nanotyrannus? Break out your best dinosaur duds and head to the Field Museum for its Dino Derby. The winner gets a $1,000 cash prize. It's part of Summer of Sue, the museum's 25th anniversary celebration of its beloved display. While you're there, see the Jabberworcky Marionettes' dinosaur puppets, see show off your dino smarts during live game shows, participate in arts and crafts and more family fun.

Keke Palmer & SZA – Sequel to One of Them Days Officially in the Works
Source: Sony Pictures / Sony Pictures It's official—Keke Palmer and SZA are set to reunite on screen as One of Them Days gets the green light for a sequel. After a blockbuster run in theaters and a major splash on Netflix, TriStar Pictures is bringing the crew back for round two. While plot details are still under wraps, fans can expect the return of the original creative team, including director Lawrence Lamont and writer Syreeta Singleton, who made waves with her script that started out under the title The Jungles . The first film—set in South L.A.—was a buddy comedy following besties Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) trying to avoid eviction after some wild financial mishaps collide with life-changing opportunities. Think Friday energy for a new generation. Backed by Issa Rae's Hoorae Media and Macro, the original film became a sleeper hit—raking in over $50 million globally and landing a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score. It also topped Netflix's trending list for weeks. The sequel is another win for the CoCre Lab at Sony, a development incubator aimed at uplifting underrepresented writers. Singleton, a former Insecure staff writer and showrunner of Rap Sh!t , was one of its early success stories. Her script was chosen out of hundreds and given time, space, and—most importantly—funding to grow into a full-fledged studio film. The original cast was stacked, featuring Lil Rel Howery, Janelle James, Katt Williams, Gabrielle Dennis, and more, bringing authentic and hilarious energy to the screen. And when SZA joined the project after Palmer signed on, the momentum was undeniable. Production for the first film kicked off in mid-2024 and was wrapped just in time for a 2025 release—unusually fast for a studio original comedy. Everyone involved knew they were doing something special. Now, TriStar is betting big on the sequel. With Keke and SZA back in the driver's seat, this next chapter promises even more laughs, chaos, and heart. Stay tuned—because it looks like it's about to be another one of them days.
