Create Account Part of the rollout for Tuesday's announcement of 'The Life of a Showgirl' involved the popular, typically football-focused podcast hosted by Travis Kelce — Swift's boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end — and his brother, Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center. Her episode, which ran just over two hours on audio streaming and an hour and 45 minutes via YouTube, was particularly revealing. Here's everything you need to know about Swift's episode. The big Taylor Swift takeaways arrived … swiftly 1. Swift partially announced her new album 'The Life of a Showgirl' on the podcast, originally shared Tuesday in a preview clip. Swift told the Kelce brothers she wanted to show them something, revealing a mint-green briefcase that featured her initials in orange. Jason Kelce asked what's in it, prompting her to pull out a vinyl record. 'This is my brand new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl,'' she said.

In the full episode, Swift revealed she worked on the album in Europe while she was on the 'Eras Tour' — flying between dates to record, truly embodying the album's title, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Then she read the track list. The entire album was completed in Sweden with producers Max Martin and Shellback. 3. Why orange? The color embodies 'what was going on in my inner life during this tour,' she said, before referring to Martin as her 'mentor.' 'These guys, they're just geniuses,' she said of Martin and Shellback. 4. 'Bangers,' is how she describes the album. She also said, 'There aren't other ones coming,' referring to a surprising double album like in the case of 2024's 'The Tortured Poets Department.' The release is 12 tracks — that's it. And it arrives Oct. 3. 'I care about this record more than I can even overstate,' she said. 'It's a lot more upbeat,' Travis Kelce said, describing it as a '180 from 'Tortured Poets.'' Swift agreed, adding, 'Life is more upbeat.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 5. The album's theme? 'Everything that was going on behind the curtain,' she said. 6. The album's goal? Infectious melodies and vivid lyrics, she explained. 7. The album's cover? Themed after 'the end of my day,' she said. 'My day ends with me in a bathtub.' And, baby, that's show business for you. New album The Life of a Showgirl. Out October 3 ❤️‍🔥Album Producers: Max Martin, Shellback and Taylor Swift📸: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott Photo by Taylor Swift / Instagram 8. She also shared personal information on 'New Heights,' arguably in a way she hasn't in years. For example: Her mom 'got a new knee,' she said. And her dad had quintuple bypass surgery this summer. He had 'five blockages in his heart' discovered through a stress test. 'This was the summer of my parental upgrades,' she said. 9. She spent considerable time in Florida with Travis Kelce. She also said 'our jobs are very similar,' it is 'to entertain people for three hours in NFL stadiums.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 10. Jason Kelce asked his brother and Swift how they handle online chatter about their relationship. 'We don't, really. I don't see a lot of things,' she said. 'My name can be in the actual headline, and it's none of my business.' 11. She shared her favorite segments from 'New Heights,' her self-described 'favorite podcast.' That is 'new news.' She credited the podcast as getting her 'a boyfriend,' and discussed how the pair started dating via friendship bracelet exchange. 'If this guy isn't crazy,' she joked, he's the kind of guy she's 'been writing songs about.' 12. Swift also discussed the 'Eras Tour,' which Travis Kelce described as a catalyst for his interest in Swift. She mentioned exiting through an orange door at the last date of the tour, a 'subliminal hint that I may be leaving the 'Eras Tour' era,' she said. It was an Easter egg for 'The Life of a Showgirl.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 13. Swift is known for teasing her fans with Easter eggs. Her favorite use? Getting an honorary degree from NYU in 2022 and littering her speech with references to her then yet-to-be-announced 'Midnights' album. 'Fans were like, 'the whole speech was an easter egg!'' she said. 14. Swift listed her hobbies, which still include baking. Her current obsession? Making sourdough bread, specifically blueberry lemon, cinnamon swirl and Funfetti variations. She offered a few bread-related puns referencing her discography: 'Are you bread-y for it?' 'It's a loaf story, baby just say yeast,' and 'Loafing him was bread,' among them. 15. Swift discussed regaining control over her entire body of work. In May, it was announced that the popstar purchased her catalog of recordings — originally released through Big Machine Records — from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. She did not disclose the amount. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 16. Swift said she loves all the rerecorded albums, but 'Red (Taylor's Version)' is particularly special — for the fan-favorite 'All Too Well' vault track, which spans ten minutes. The Life of a Showgirl: 'It's Beautiful' Limited Release Deluxe CD Photo by Taylor Swift / Instagram The road to Taylor Swift's episode Little was known about Swift's episode ahead of its airing. On Tuesday and Wednesday morning, the podcast shared clips teasing the forthcoming episode. 'As we all know, you know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast,' Swift joked in one cut. 'I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens it's more of me.' Chiefs coach Andy Reid was supportive, though, saying Wednesday that he was happy for the pair. 'Both of them like each other, and what a plus that is. They care about each other, and I think that's the most important thing,' he said. 'The older you get, you want these guys to have somebody they can settle down with and that whole deal. And so I think it's a neat deal for them — both of them.' Love concerts, but can't make it to the venue?

YouTube for kids: 10 channels you can turn on without worrying

There's only a few weeks left in summer vacation, and if your house is anything like mine at the moment, you're ready to let the kids have at their screens so you can have some peace. However, how much Ryan's World, Cocomelon, Mr. Beast, Mikey and JJ or Jordan Matter can a person take? Letting your kids watch YouTube can be tricky. While kids love the bright colours, quick scenes and short episodes, experts caution that a lot of the content contains hidden and disturbing images that are inappropriate for kids. Recommendations include limiting screen time, encouraging other activities and curating content. If you're at the point where you're ready to give your kids a little extra screen time but want to avoid brain-rot content, here are 10 channels that you can feel good about your kids browsing while you take a breather. Cosmic Kids Yoga Mindfulness and YouTube don't sound complementary, but Jaime Amor makes it possible with her channel. On it, the registered children's yoga teacher combines her love of movement and storytelling into story-based kids yoga. In each episode she sports a blue onesie and presents an adventure with poses that kids can easily mimic. Some of the stories are geared at younger kids, but Amor also targets older grade schoolers with characters from Nintendo, Disney, Trolls and more. National Geographic Kids Whether your kid is into sharks, bugs, baby animals, space or weird but true facts, they can find it all on this popular channel. NatGeo drops a new video every week and often leverages its parent company to bring in Disney guest stars. Magic tricks, Greek mythology, popular travel destinations and a look at how everyday objects work are also all on the menu, making for a diverse but fun learning channel for kids of all ages. Art For Kids Hub Anyone can be an artist when you follow Rob Jensen's easy tutorials. Art For Kids Hub is a one-stop shop for anyone who wants to create realistic sketches of popular characters, items and animals, whether you're into video games or Disney. These simple drawing lessons encourage kids to be creative and make their drawings their own. The best part is that Jensen and his guest drawers give kids the confidence to draw and colour recognizable pictures and cards, proving that anyone can be an artist. TheDadLab Have you ever invested in a science kit for the kids only to realize the box is full of half-baked experiments that require a ton of adult supervision and extra materials? Save your money and check out TheDadLab instead. Sergei Urban's YouTube Channel is full of easy but fun experiments kids will love, such as frozen dinosaur eggs, balloon experiments and a gravity-explaining paint pendulum. These DIY science activities are all easy to do at home and engaging for youngsters. TED-Ed Do your kids love learning weird but random things? The animated shorts at TED-Ed are bound to grab their attention. Each short tackles a single topic, such as what your poop says about your health or the history of popcorn. The lessons promote learning whether your child is into bugs, science, riddles, history or video games. There's also a vault of everyday originals for older kids who want to learn more about topics such as anxiety, giving a presentation or equality. In short, it's a rabbit hole of shorts you don't mind your kids actually falling into. Brave Wilderness Many kids are obsessed with exotic, dangerous or wild animals, which makes this wilderness channel the ultimate YouTube destination. Hosts Coyote Peterson and Mark Vins lead viewers on adventures across the world to explore venomous creatures, cool critters and furry friends. The duo often get up close with their subjects, and brands the videos with attention-grabbing titles kids love, including 'Pinched by a lobster,' 'Wolverine face-off' and 'Stung by the meanest scorpion in Thailand.' PBS Kids If you have younger kids at home you're probably over watching Blippi and Super Simple Songs on repeat. So, try PBS Kids instead, where educational videos are designed to help kids aged 2 to 8 learn various diverse life lessons. The YouTube channel is an extension of the children's programming featured on the network, and includes diverse characters and positive role models that reflect kids in a real but wholesome way. Mark Rober This former NASA engineer makes extreme science look cool with his 20-minute videos that also prompt creativity, learning and problem-solving. Some of his personal favourites include the time he built a roller coaster in his lab, faced off against the world's smartest crow and tested what happens if you actually jump on a moving train. The scenarios are extreme enough to pique kids' interest, and buzzy enough that they'll want to share with their friends. AntsCanada Mikey Bustos's YouTube channel is certainly one of the most niche on this list, but it's fascinating and fun for kids (and kids-at-heart) who love insects and want to learn more about their tiny habitats. The videos explore the microworlds around us, different species of ants, things that threaten them and how they respond to various other species. Some of the more popular videos include fire ants taste-testing different flavours and one where ants and maggots square off. Mathantics At a certain age, most kids become obsessed with numbers and what they actually mean. Instead of giving them more math, gamify the situation with this YouTube channel created by Rob Cozzens. The videos explain a variety of concepts such as Roman numerals, percentages and geometry by delivering ideas in quick snippets with easy-to-understand language and fun graphics. The videos span all ages depending on what you watch, and even serve as a good refresher for some parents out there who are bracing themselves to help with homework come fall.

South Korean Supreme Court dismisses US composer's ‘Baby Shark' copyright claim

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea's Supreme Court rejected a 30 million won ($21,600) damage claim Thursday by an American composer who accused a South Korean kids content company of plagiarizing his version of ' Baby Shark,' ending a six-year legal battle over the globally popular tune known for its catchy ' doo doo doo doo doo doo ' hook. The top court upheld lower court rulings dating back to 2021 and 2023 that found no sufficient grounds to conclude Pinkfong infringed on Jonathan Wright's copyright. Wright, also known as Johnny Only, had recorded his version in 2011, four years before Pinkfong's, but both were based on a traditional melody popular for years at children's summer camps in the United States. The courts ruled that Wright's version did not differ enough from the original melody to qualify as an original creative work eligible for copyright protection, and that Pinkfong's song had clear differences from Wright's. Wright's South Korean attorney and Pinkfong didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Pinkfong's 'Baby Shark' became a global phenomenon after it was released on YouTube in 2015, with the original video now exceeding 16 billion views and peaking at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
