New Heights podcast: Emotional Taylor Swift reveals new album details for The Life of a Showgirl
Taylor Swift has broken down in tears in an emotional moment on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast. The pop superstar made her podcasting debut on Wednesday night (US time), during a wide-ranging discussion with Kelce and his brother Jason that included details of her newest album The Life of a Showgirl. During the episode, Swift got particularly emotional when talking about reclaiming her master recordings — a moment she thought about happening every day. Swift fought back tears, and Kelce comforted her as she spoke in depth about the years-long saga and when she sent her mum and brother to LA to negotiate with Shamrock Capital, the owners of her music, on her behalf. She explained how Kelce was playing video games when she found out she had bought the rights back, and the NFL star even started weeping when he was told the news. 'I haven't gotten my hopes up about this in a decade. A couple of months after the Super Bowl I was in Kansas City,' Swift said, adding she had been saving to buy her masters since she was a teenager. 'I get a call from my mum. She's like, 'You got your music.' I very dramatically hit the floor for real. Bawling my eyes out, weeping, like 'Really?' I said to myself 'Go tell Travis in a normal way'. 'He was playing video games, and he put his headset down. I was like 'I got my music back!' And I was heaving crying. This changed my life.' Swift's masters had been owned by Scooter Braun, forcing her to re-record her first six albums as 'Taylor's version', before Braun sold them to Shamrock. Swift said owning her music and the rights to it was very important to her. 'What I was looking to do, though, was I wanted to buy my music outright. I don't want to be in a partnership, I don't want to own 30 per cent of it. I want to own all of it. But it was a long shot to think they would do that,' she said. 'If I never bought back my music, one day someone else will leave all my music to their kids in their will.' As soon as the episode dropped, Swift shared the cover art and release date of October 3. The theme for this album is mint green and orange, and the front cover, designed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, shows Swift immersed in water wearing a sparkly showgirl outfit. The back of the album revealed the 12 tracks, with the last song, the title track, featuring Sabrina Carpenter. She also shared that she co-produced the album with Max Martin and Shellback.

Bohs stun Shamrock Rovers with first half Dalymount blitz
SSE Airtricity Premier Division: Bohemians 2 (Dayle Rooney 2, James Clarke 39) Shamrock Rovers 0 It wasn't quite the rehabilitation of love towards Alan Reynolds but recording his fifth win in six against Shamrock Rovers has altered the outlook of Bohemians fans. Approaching the Jodi Stand of Dalymount Park at half-time and full-time had been like running the gauntlet for their Waterford-born manager earlier this season yet results have warmed the reception. Two first-half goals by Dayle Rooney and James Clarke delivered a win for the Gypsies that at least avoids what was in danger of becoming a procession to a fifth title in six years for Rovers. Had the Hoops racked up their ninth straight win in 10 matches, then a 15-point buffer would have stretched between the teams with Rovers having 13 games left. Instead, the gap is now nine points. Not an insurmountable task, given Bohemians have two games in hand to contest when their neighbours are immersed in European action during July. Drogheda United were supposed to be as well until coming unstuck over multi-club regulations but they, along with Derry City, will feel they can swell the volume of contenders in a title race that was descending into a Shamrock stroll. Defeat for Rovers ends an 11-game unbeaten sequence in which they accumulated 27 from a possible 33 points. That golden trail began after losing at home to Bohemians on Easter Monday, an occasion where the visitors came from two goals down at Tallaght to nick victory in stoppage-time. An identical scenario unfolded for the home side in this rematch, only it didn't end in a dramatic collapse. Bohs were not alone deserving of their two-goal interval lead but created the closest chance after the interval when Dawson Devoy's shot was hacked off the line by Hoops captain Pico Lopes. That opening half blitz ensured the manager was greeted on his way down the tunnel with a chorus from his own fans - if not acclamation then at least acceptance. 'Oh Alan Reynolds, he used to be shit but he's alright now.' He may be required to secure a first trophy for Bohs since 2010 to win over the doubters but his ability to stall the stride of their deadly rivals endears him to a certain portion of the hardcore. The team that don't do draws were at their swashbuckling best from the off here and fortunate that some of the Rovers finery, including Lopes, endured off-days. Just 100 seconds were clocked when the net of Ed McGinty was rippled. When Lopes got his feet in a tangle trying to intercept a pass from the left towards James Clarke, the striker pounced to cut across him and lay the ball into the path of Rooney. His first-time shot took a slight deflection off the back-pedalling Lopes to fly high beyond the 'keeper. Uncharacteristically, Lopes and Matt Healy were conceding unnecessary corners and it contributed to whipping the 4,421 crowd into further delirium. Ross Tierney hooked his volley wide as Bohs increased the pressure while John Mountney was inches from producing a goal-of-the-season candidate with a long-distance shot after Josh Honohan was dispossessed. Hoops boss Stephen Bradley even signalled for McGinty to engineer a timeout, so rattled were Rovers and it got worse with a peach of a second for Bohs. Neat interplay between Devoy and Tierney enabled the latter to dash from the right into the box and square for Clarke to beat Dan Cleary to the decisive touch. Although Bradley introduced sprung 16-year-old Michael Noonan for the second half, he was an isolated figure. All Bohs stopper was forced into was a low save from another sub, Dylan Watts, on the hour mark. No need for alarm in the Rovers ranks, only bullishness from Bohs about making them work for their crown. BOHEMIANS: K Chorazka; N Morahan, R Cornwall, J Flores; L Smith, D Devoy, A McDonnell (K Buckley 64), J Mountney; D Rooney, R Tierney; J Clarke. SHAMROCK ROVERS: E McGinty; D Cleary (V Ozhianvuna 80), R Lopes, L Grace (M Kovalevskis 87); D Grant, M Healy, A McEneff (D Mandroiu 53), J Honohan; J Byrne (D Watts 53), G Burke; A Greene (M Noonan 46). Referee: Kevin O'Sullivan (Cork). Attendance: 4,421

Taylor Swift No Longer Needs to Re-Record Debut Album & ‘Reputation,' But Have Fans Come to Expect ‘Taylor's Version'?
After Taylor Swift surprised the world late last week with the news that she now owns the masters of her first six albums, once the dust settled, fans wondered: Will the final two planned re-recordings of her self-titled 2008 debut album and of 2017's Reputation ever see the light of day? The thing is, even though Swift no longer has an express reason to re-record the projects to reclaim their ownership, her fans have grown accustomed to the fanfare around the Taylor's Version releases, including unheard 'From the Vault' tracks and new music videos.

She also said both 'can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about. But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now.'
