Taylor Swift Reveals Fate of Reputation , Taylor Swift Rerecordings
Originally appeared on E! Online Look what you made Taylor Swift do. The "Delicate" singer—who had been rerecording her first six albums following a music battle with Scooter Braun—officially revealed that she now owns all of her music. So, what will happen to the updated versions of Reputation and Taylor Swift? "What about Rep TV? Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it," Taylor explained in a letter shared to her website May 30. "The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it. All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snark and mischief.' Indeed, Taylor admitted that while the rerecording of her debut album was complete—and may be released at some point in the future—Reputation will not see the same fate. 'To be perfectly honest, it's the album in those first six that I thought couldn't be improved on by redoing it,' Taylor admitted. 'Not the music, or photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off. There will be a time (if you're into the idea) for the unreleased Vault tracks from that album to hatch.' More from E!

'If it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have,' she continued. 'It will just be a celebration now.' The original version of Reputation, which Taylor released in November 2017 in response to criticism she'd been receiving in the press, featured 15 songs, including tracks about former boyfriend Joe Alwyn—"Gorgeous" and "King of My Heart"—as well as her feud with Kanye West on "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things." It was Taylor's clash with Kanye and then-wife Kim Kardashian—at the height of which the Kardashiansstar posted parts of a conversation between Taylor and Kanye discussing his song "Famous" online—that led the "Bad Blood" artist to take a step back from the spotlight. 'You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,' Taylor recalled to Time last December, referencing the debate over if she knew she'd be referred to as "that b--tch" in Kanye's song. 'That took me down psychologically to a place I've never been before." "I moved to a foreign country," she continued. "I didn't leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn't trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.' And how does she feel about the Reputation era today? 'It's a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure,' Taylor told Time. 'I think a lot of people see it and they're just like, Sick snakes and strobe lights.' Though she did confirm the updated version's vault tracks—if fans care to hear them—will be 'fire." Keep reading for more fascinating facts about TSwift.

Kanye's surprising link to Trump's pardon of one of ‘most notorious criminals' in history serving 6 life sentences
His ex Kim Kardashian also supported the cause LET HIM OUT LET HIM OUT Kanye's surprising link to Trump's pardon of one of 'most notorious criminals' in history serving 6 life sentences Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KANYE has a shocking link to Donald Trump's pardon of a notorious criminal serving six life sentences, it's been revealed. The thrilled rapper said that 'words can't express my gratitude for freeing Larry Hoover.' Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Kanye West has spent eight years battling for the freeing of Larry Hoover Credit: Getty 3 Larry Hoover, a founder of the notorious Gangster Disciples, has been serving six life sentences Credit: Getty 3 Donald Trump has issued a series of pardons this week, and has commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a former Chicago gang leader Credit: AP President Donald Trump issued a flurry of pardons on Wednesday, including to multimillionaire fraudsters Todd and Julie Chrisley. He also commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a former Chicago gang leader serving a life sentence at a supermax prison in Colorado. Kanye said on X, "WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR OUR DEVOTED ENDURING PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FOR FREEING LARRY HOOVER." Hoover, now aged 74, is the co-founder of the Gangster Disciples. Back in the 1990s, he was given six life sentences on conspiracy, extortion, drug and various other criminal charges. But he was first imprisoned in connection with the murder of a rival drug dealer in 1973, and was convicted of running a criminal enterprise in 1998. However, Hoover later renounced his criminal past and petitioned the authorities for a reduced sentence. "I am no longer a member, leader, or even an elder statesman of the Gangster Disciples," he wrote in a letter to a court in 2022, adding, "I want nothing to do with it now and forever." His attorney said he has spent nearly 30 years in solitary confinement. Hoover managed to gain support in the mainstream media after Kanye spent years battling publicly for his release. Kim Kardashian strengthens security for her kids after Kanye West's unhinged threats as children's 'safety is priority' The star even held a concert in 2021 - featuring nemesis Drake - and promoted the phrase "Free Larry Hoover" from incarceration. His ex, Kim Kardashian, was among the many celebrities happy to promote the rapper's charity event. Kanye and Drake managed to put their differences aside to come together for the benefit concert hosted at the Los Angeles Coliseum in California. Kanye addressed the stars' feud in a touching Instagram post at that time, saying in December 2021, 'Both me and Drake have taken shots at each other and it's time to put it to rest. 'I'm asking Drake... to join me on stage as a special guest to share the two biggest albums of the year live in Los Angeles with the ultimate purpose being to free Larry Hoover.' Who is Larry Hoover? Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a former Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, 74, is a founder of the Gangster Disciples and was accused of murdering a rival drug dealer in 1973. Originally from Jackson, Mississippi, Hoover moved with his parents to Chicago, Illinois when he was four years old before turning to gang life by the time he was 13. He started with theft and mugging, but as he got older his crimes turned to assaults and shootings. On February 26, 1973, Hoover murdered William Young alongside another Gangster Disciple member, Andrew Howard. While at Stateville Correctional Center in Illinois, Hoover began to gather followers - however, the authorities saw this as a positive. Hoover made it mandatory for any members of Gangster Disciple to educate themselves, pick up a trade, and become better members of society. But, in 1995 an undercover investigation indicted Hoover for drug conspiracy charges. In 1997 he was found guilty and he has been serving six life sentences at the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado. In July 2021, a federal judge denied a bid from Hoover for a sentencing break under the First Step Act. The First Step Act was signed by Trump in 2018, and applies to all relevant drug convictions before and after 2010. Kanye had initially appealed in 2018 to Trump for Hoover to be released, but his request was not granted. This week's news of his commutation prompted the man's delighted son, Larry Hoover Jr., to praise the star for "sticking his neck out" on his dad's behalf. Statement from Larry Hoover's attorneys Hoover has been serving a life sentence for a 1970s murder conviction, and an additional life sentence for running a criminal enterprise from behind bars in the 1990s His attorneys said in a statement, "The Courts have demonstrated a complete unwillingness to consider Mr. Hoover's considerable growth and complete rehabilitation. "Despite the Court's unwillingness to do the right thing, Mr. Hoover has been able to keep his voice alive through the incredible work of many advocates and supporters. "Thankfully, Mr. Hoover's pleas were heard by President Trump who took action to deliver justice for Mr. Hoover. "We are thrilled to see that Mr. Hoover will be released from Federal Custody." The process 'started a long time ago with Kanye. Kanye put us on the platform,' a relieved Hoover Jr., told TMZ on Wednesday. He added, '[Kanye] had a very big part because he started it all off. He put us on the platform. "He took us to the White House on his platform when he didn't have to do that." In late 2021, Larry Hoover Jr. was invited to speak about the campaign during Kanye's Drink Champs interview - a hip-hop talk show/podcast with celebs. He told the show his kids would never have the chance to hug their grandfather. Kanye explained that he had assembled a top legal team, including Jennifer Bonjean, the lawyer who helped release disgraced comedian Bill Cosby. REMAINS JAILED Hoover's lawyer, Justin Moore, said of his client's commutation, "We got Larry Hoover out of federal prison - when many said it was impossible… Illinois must send him home for good." However, Fox 13 reported that Hoover will likely be transferred back to the Illinois Department of Corrections. According to NBC News, Hoover, will not be set free from jail. Following his expected transfer to a state prison in Illinois, he will serve the rest of a 200-year sentence for crimes he was separately convicted of in state court. Louisiana rap artist NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden and whose stage moniker stands for Never Broke Again, also received a Trump pardon.

Bianca Censori strips off again following calls for 'public indecency arrest'
Bianca Censori has gone naked again as she shared snaps in sheer tights and a fishnet top on Instagram. The 30-year-old shared three snaps with her fans, all wearing the same sheer outfit with her figure fully on show. The star wore large black sunglasses and her long black hair down and pushed behind her shoulders as she scowled at the camera. In some of the images, she stood with her legs apart in a powerful stance, and in another, she placed them together for a more coy look. The star has only 25 posts on the social media platform, but all of the images are nude and focus on her body and near-naked outfit choices. The images come as she sparked 'public indecency' complaints after going shopping at a market in Mallorca in a barely there look. The couple, who have faced rumours of a split in recent weeks, were seen together at an outdoor market on May 17 in the quaint town of Santanyí, Mallorca. The star flashed her nipples in Mallorca in a a black fish net bra vest with her nipples on show, along with tiny black hot pants. In typical contrast to his nude wife, Kanye, 47, wore an oversized grey hoodie and dark sunglasses as he walked alongside Bianca. It was reported that locals were shocked by the look, with many claiming the look with inappropriate and possibly illegal. 'People were horrified. They could be heard asking, 'Is that her real nipple?' as they walked by,' one witness told 'Kanye was standing back a little, letting her browse the market.' Kanye secretly married Bianca just weeks after his divorce from wife Kim was finalised, but in recent weeks the couple has been surrounded by split rumours. More Trending In April, Kanye sang in a song that Bianca had 'run away'. In his latest album, titled WW3, Kanye features a track named BIANCA in which he alleges that his model wife 'tried to get him committed' and appeared to reveal that they're no longer together. The track on the album, which disturbingly features a red swastika on the cover, says: 'My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed / Not going to the hospital 'cause I am not sick I just do not get it.' The couple has since been snapped together many times, effectively squashing the split rumours as they put on a united front while on holiday. Got a story?
