New Taylor Swift era incoming? Leaked update shakes up Reputation (TV) timeline
In a now-deleted video posted by Universal Music Sweden, producer Jacob Criborn stated, 'We're just finishing Taylor Swift's album,' referencing work with Swedish conductor Erik Arvinder. Known for collaborations with Harry Styles and Lady Gaga, Arvinder has not been involved in Swift's re-recordings to date—fueling speculation that this is fresh material, not a reimagined release.
Swift has been steadily re-releasing her earlier albums to reclaim ownership of her masters. So far, she has released Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), and 1989 (Taylor's Version). Fans have been eagerly awaiting re-recordings of Reputation and her self-titled debut.
However, Swift has a history of surprise releases, such as Folklore and Evermore, and this new collaboration aligns with that unpredictable creative spirit.
Adding further intrigue, Swift's personal life—especially her high-profile relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce—continues to attract attention. Some speculate that these experiences may inspire her next album's themes.
While Swift has yet to confirm an official release date, this latest studio revelation suggests that both Reputation (Taylor's Version) and a brand-new project could be on the horizon, exciting fans and music insiders alike.

Love-struck trucks and diggers: Estonia's take on ‘Romeo and Juliet'
RUMMU: A production of 'Romeo and Juliet' in Estonia uses a cast of vehicles to tell Shakespeare's story of star-crossed lovers, with a red Ford pickup taking on the role of Juliet, while her Romeo is a rally truck. 'I must say I came into it expecting it to be really silly, but it was really good. I really liked it,' said Maia Maisate, a spectator, after the show. A disused limestone quarry in the Estonian countryside is the backdrop as more than a dozen vehicles, including city buses, fire engines, a lorry and a cement truck with hearts painted on it, drive around in front of makeshift viewer stands. Two excavators waved their mechanical arms at each other threateningly in a recreation of the fatal sword fight between Tybalt and Mercutio, and a car was thrown from a cliff. 'I would still say that even though it was cars, it felt really sweet and cute. Like when you had the scene where the cars were, you would assume, kissing, the energy was captured really well. The sweetness and the love,' said Maia Pussim, another spectator. The production, which continues until Sunday, is without dialogue, although it is accompanied by fireworks and music, including the track 'Lovefool' by Swedish group The Cardigans. 'It's basically a big experiment about what it means to do Shakespeare today and whether we can find new ways to do it,' said co-director Paavo Piik of Kinoteater, which put on the play. 'We wanted to be very gentle with these big machines. This contrast is interesting for us. Is it possible to deliver emotions like love (with big vehicles)?'

Battlefield 6' declares war on 'Call of Duty'
Promising vast combat zones and pounding action, team-based first-person shooter Battlefield 6 is set for release in October, pitting it against longtime rival Call of Duty for autumn sales dominance. Publisher Electronic Arts threw events for journalists and influencers in multiple locations around the world to announce the October 10 release date, hoping to stoke renewed hype for a flagging property. "This is a new start" for the series whose beginnings stretch back to 2002, Damien Kieke, game design director at Swedish studio Dice, told AFP in Paris. Long a beloved mass-combat format that AE says has won over 100 million players in the past two decades, Battlefield inexorably lost ground to Call of Duty over the years. EA has acknowledged that the latest instalment, 2021's Battlefield 2042, did not perform as well as hoped at release, without providing sales figures. That puts pressure on the new game to perform, after occupying several hundred developers split across four studios worldwide for four years. "We needed that firepower to recreate that feeling of total war," said Roman Campos-Oriola, creative director at Montreal studio Motive, which led work on the single-player campaign mode. 'Believable context' The story follows a near-future conflict in 2027, which sees the United States and allies fighting a tooled-up private army dubbed Pax Armata alongside several European former NATO countries. "We came up with all this a few years ago, so if there's anything very close to today's reality, it's a coincidence," Kieken said. "We wanted a believable context to better immerse players" in the action, he added. But the most addictive side of Battlefield has always been its online multiplayer option, which gives players free reign to fight on foot or in tanks, jets and helicopters across miles-wide maps. Journalists from more than 30 outlets were invited to try out Battlefield 6 in a room packed with PCs in Paris on Thursday, escorted by actors playing soldiers in full war gear. The game offers hyper-realistic graphics to players on PC, Xbox Series and Playstation 5, as well as fully destructible environments that allow for tactics like demolishing structures with rocket launchers. With dozens of players in each match, the games have typically rewarded good communication and strategy as much as mayhem, with teams cooperating to control objectives, eliminate enemies or infiltrate their opponent's home base. The roster of locations available on launch will include the streets of Cairo, Gibraltar and Brooklyn as well as the mountains of Tajikistan. Developers promise that they will add other game modes and battlefields in the wake of the release. Where Call of Duty focuses on tighter, smaller skirmishes, Battlefield has always striven to paint on a more epic canvas. It's "this mix of large-scale battle, vehicles and squad-based gaming" that sets it apart, said Campos-Oriola. Over the years, the series moved away from reproducing famous historical battles — including in WWI, WWII and Vietnam — towards fictional scenarios. EA bosses will be hoping a return to the contemporary world featured in the third and fourth games dating back to the early 2010s will revive flagging sales. The new release will go head-to-head in autumn with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, one of a long-rolling string of games in the franchise from Activision Blizzard, whose release date has yet to be revealed. While dubbed Battlefield 6, the new EA game is in fact the 10th in the series, which also includes several spin-off titles.

Shannon Sharpe speaks out after ESPN exit ahead of brother Sterling's career milestone
Shannon Sharpe has spoken publicly following his reported departure from ESPN, sharing his thoughts on the timing of the news and its impact on a personal family milestone. On his Nightcap podcast, the former NFL star said he is 'at peace' with ESPN's decision but expressed regret that the announcement came just days before his brother Sterling Sharpe's induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 'I found out this information a little earlier in the week,' Sharpe explained, 'and really the only thing that I really asked is, 'Guys, could we wait until Monday?' My brother's going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame… I said, 'This coming out will overshadow everything he's worked his entire life for.' And, unfortunately, it didn't happen that way.' Sharpe joined ESPN in 2023 after leaving FS1's Undisputed, later appearing regularly on First Take. He also hosts Club Shay Shay, a long-running podcast, and Nightcap, where he addressed the exit directly. He said he 'profusely' apologised to his brother for the timing, which he believes drew attention away from Sterling's historic recognition. 'First two brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and this is what the headline is going to be for the next couple of days.' Sharpe's exit follows the settlement of a $50 million civil lawsuit filed in Nevada earlier this year, which included accusations of assault and misconduct, allegations he has denied through legal counsel. Despite the circumstances, Sharpe reflected positively on his time at ESPN, saying, 'They gave me an opportunity to bring my audience that saw me really just grow.'
