Taylor Swift secretly films music video in Los Angeles amid speculation of new album release
Despite taking time off with boyfriend Travis Kelce following the massive success of her Eras Tour, Swift appears to be back in creative mode.
"Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video," the source revealed. "It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat." The development comes as fans speculate a countdown is underway on Swift's Instagram account, believed to end in early August.
Swift's last studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped in April 2024, marking her eleventh release. She has maintained a pattern of unveiling new music annually since 2016, intensifying anticipation that a fresh release could be imminent.
This would follow her recent acquisition of the masters for her first six albums, a deal reportedly worth $360 million. Speaking about the buyback, Swift confirmed: 'All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me… My entire life's work.'
While enjoying downtime with Kelce, Swift's return to work suggests that her twelfth studio album may be closer than fans expected. With social media abuzz and a new video already in production, Swift's next musical era seems ready to begin.

Shamoon gets his marriage-uana!
Singer Shamoon Ismail took social media by surprise when he posted pictures from his engagement ceremony on Monday. While the bride remains veiled, Shamoon looks visibly happy in his off-white kurta as he welcomes her on stage and greets the guests at an intimate daytime gathering. The singer penned a heartfelt thank-you note for his fans, writing, 'I am deeply grateful for the love and support you've all given me over the years. This marks the beginning of a new chapter.' The Marijuana singer's announcement left fans stunned. Previously, fellow artist Hasan Raheem had similarly shocked his followers by casually dropping a wedding photo on Instagram, sending the internet into a tailspin. It was later revealed that the shoot was just a teaser for MEMORIES, the first track from his album. One fan, recalling Hasan's faux-wedding post, commented, 'After what Hasan Raheem did, I'm not believing any of you,' while another responded with a hint of caution: 'I hope this is not the same as what Hasan Raheem did. Congratulations!' The music industry came together to celebrate the Pancake singer's special day. Aima Baig added a string of hearts to her 'Congratulations!', while Hasan Raheem supported his bro with a Gen-Z 'let's gooo!'. Ayesha Omar flooded the comment section with red heart emojis, writing, 'Bohot Bohot Mubarak! (Many, many congratulations).' Music producer Rovalio joined the chorus with a purple heart, penning, 'Mera bhai, congratulations! (My brother, congratulations!)' Known for maintaining a private persona, Shamoon requested fans to respect his boundaries on this occasion as well, captioning the photos: 'As I celebrate this special moment, I kindly ask that no additional photos from the event be shared publicly. As many of you know, I sincerely value my privacy and truly appreciate your understanding.' The pop singer marked the occasion with a note hinting at a creative evolution: 'This is a new chapter, not only in my personal life but also musically. I can't wait to share what's coming with you. Love, Shamoon!' Shamoon has released three singles in the first half of the year: Tight Body, Pancake, and Taare 2.0. This latest life update not only marks a milestone in his personal journey but may also signal a fresh wave of music for his fans to look forward to. Have something to add to the story?

LaMelo Ball's tattoo artist breaks silence after ‘Hot Chee Toes' tattoo goes viral
LaMelo Ball became the centre of online chatter after images surfaced suggesting the Charlotte Hornets star had tattooed 'Hot Chee Toes' across his foot. The fiery, Cheetos-themed design sparked both humour and disbelief, with fans flooding social media with reactions. However, Ball's tattoo artist Elvis Ramos has now confirmed that the tattoo was not real. Speaking in an Instagram video, Ramos explained the origin of the viral image and clarified that the foot in question did not belong to Ball. 'We tattooed LaMelo Ball. But those 'Hot Chee Toes'—those were not on Melo. We were just trolling,' Ramos said. 'The original artist is actually from California as well, but no, we didn't do that on Melo.' The prank had fooled thousands online, with some fans criticising Ball's supposed decision and others applauding the bold move. Reactions ranged from 'This can't be real' to 'Bro didn't break ankles, he toasted them.' Ramos added, 'We did do a leg sleeve on Melo, and we'll be posting that soon. But yeah, we were just trolling, man. The internet is crazy, bro.' Despite the joke, Ball remains known for his distinctive tattoo choices. His previous back piece took 18 hours and six artists to complete and reads 'Rare One,' reflecting his confident persona on and off the court. The Hornets, who struggled last season without Ball following a season-ending injury, are hopeful for a turnaround. Ball averaged 25.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists before his absence.

Spanish designer Miguel Adrover declines Rosalía collaboration over lack of public support for Palestine
Spanish fashion designer Miguel Adrover has refused to design a custom outfit for internationally known singer Rosalía, citing her lack of public support for Palestine. The incident was revealed through a post on Adrover's Instagram account, where he called on public figures to use their platforms to speak out against what he described as genocide. 'Doing 'The Right Thing'… Silence is complicity, and even more so when you have a big microphone where millions of people listen to you when you sing. That's why you have the responsibility to use this power to denounce this genocide,' Adrover wrote. Addressing the singer directly, he added, 'Rosalía, this is nothing personal. I admire you for all your talent and for everything you've achieved. And I think you are much more than those artists who only dedicate themselves to show business and entertainment. Now we have to do 'The Right Thing.'' The post included screenshots of an email exchange between the singer's team and Adrover's representatives. Rosalía's team had inquired about a custom look, indicating that a September or October appearance was likely. In response, Adrover's representatives replied: 'I'm sorry, but Miguel doesn't work with any artist who doesn't publicly support Palestina.' Some Instagram users noted that Rosalía had previously shown support for Gaza. On October 19, 2023, less than two weeks after Hamas-led attacks in Israel, the singer reportedly posted an appeal on Instagram for donations to Gazans, referencing food shortages and humanitarian crisis conditions. However, the post was reportedly deleted a few hours later.
