At The Box Office: ‘Materialists'
Swift said that the movie 'comes off as more of a pretty typical romantic comedy' without looking down on the genre. Still, the movie has hidden depth that Swift found enjoyable.
She also highlighted the film's director, Celine Song, who reportedly wrote this film based on her time as a matchmaker in NYC.
Dakota Johnson, who plays the titular matchmaker, 'always plays the same character,' according to Swift. While she would have loved to see a different actor portray that character, she praised Chris Evans and his performance. Pedro Pascal also stars along side them in this movie.
Overall, there is 'so much to enjoy.' Anyone interested can catch 'Materialists' in theatres.

Beyoncé May Be Just One Tour Away From Making History
Beyoncé has once again shown that she's not only one of the biggest names in music, but also one of the most formidable forces in live entertainment. With the Cowboy Carter Tour now officially finished, the superstar is even closer hitting one of the rarest milestones in concert history. The Cowboy Carter Tour Grosses Over $400 Million According to Billboard Boxscore, Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour brought in $407.6 million from 1.6 million tickets sold. The country trek was a commercial juggernaut, and its closing sum pushes her career touring gross to more than $1.75 billion. With less than $250 million to go, she's within arm's reach of becoming one of the only artists in history to cross the $2 billion mark in reported touring revenue. Several names, including Taylor Swift, have already managed to pass that massive figure. Back-to-Back Blockbuster Tours The Cowboy Carter Tour ranks as Beyoncé's second-highest-grossing run, trailing only her previous venture, the Renaissance World Tour. That run closed with a record-breaking $579.8 million. Together, the two back-to-back treks have become career-defining moments, and some of the most successful concert tours of all time. A Member of Touring's Most Elite Club With her latest success, Beyoncé becomes the first woman and just the fourth artist overall—t have multiple tours pass the $400 million mark. She joins the exclusive ranks of The Rolling Stones, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran, cementing her place among the most bankable live acts of all time. Solo Tours Power Her Rise While Beyoncé has certainly found success in collaborations, especially her joint tours with Jay-Z and early career outings with Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys, it's her solo headlining treks that have generated the majority of her touring revenue. From Dangerously in Love to Renaissance, her six solo tours have ranked among her highest-grossing and most far-reaching. The Final Push May Be Coming Soon Bey's Cowboy Carter is the second installment in a planned album trilogy that began with Renaissance. With the third act expected as early as 2026, fans are already wondering whether she'll embark on another stadium-filling tour. If such a venture – which has not been announced – performs on par with her last two, another $300–$400 million in grosses could be enough to push Beyoncé past the $2 billion milestone, possibly by 2027.
