    Joe Alwyn Collects His First Grammy for Contribution to Taylor Swift's 'Folklore'

    by

    WENN

    ‘The Favourite’ actor has his name added to the winners’ list on the Grammys website after his singer girlfriend become the first female artist in history to win the Album of the Year title three times.

    Apr 26, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    British actor Joe Alwyn has officially been recognized as a 2021 Grammy Award winner after contributing to his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s “Folklore”, which was crowned Album of the Year.

    “The Favourite” star had originally been credited on Swift’s liner notes under the pseudonym William Bowery, helping to pen the tracks “Exile” and “Betty”, which he also co-produced, alongside four other songs on the 2020 release.

    “Folklore” claimed the top honor at music’s big night last month (March 21), making Swift the first female artist in history to win the accolade three times.

    She shared the prize with producers Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, but now eagle-eyed fans have noticed Alwyn’s name has also been added to the winners’ list on the Grammys website, meaning he would have received his very own award, reports People.com.

    The stars, who have been careful to keep much of their romance under wraps, have yet to comment on the news, but Swift gave her man a special shout-out during her acceptance speech at the prestigious event.

    “Joe is the first person that I play every single song that I write, and I had the best time writing songs with you in quarantine,” she smiled.

    The couple has been dating since 2016.

    Swift has also confirmed that Alwyn used the pseudonym William Bowery when talking to Dessner and Antonoff in Disney+ film, “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions”. She first stated, “There’s been a lot of discussion about William Bowery and his identity. He’s not a real person.”

    The 31-year-old continued explaining, “William Bowery is Joe, as we know.” She went on to gush, “And Joe, Joe plays piano beautifully, and he’s always just playing and making things up and kind of creating things.”

      Taylor Swift Becomes First Woman to Land 3 New No. 1s in Less Than a Year With 'Fearless' Success

      by

      ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’, a re-recorded version of the ‘Cardigan’ hitmaker’s 2008 album, has beaten DMX’s ‘The Best of DMX’ and Justin Bieber’s ‘Justice’ for the top slot of Billboard 200.

      Apr 19, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift has landed another TransAtlantic chart double after taking her reworked “Fearless” album to the top of the Billboard 200 in America.

      “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” debuted at number one in the U.K. on Friday, April 16, and now the project has topped the U.S. countdown with the biggest one-week sales of 2021 so far (291,000), making Swift the first woman to land three number one albums in less than a year.

      Additionally, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” helped Swift in securing her ninth No. 1 album. It placed her in tie with Madonna for the second-most No. 1 albums among women. The all-time record was still held by Barbra Streisand with 11 No. 1 albums.

      The original “Fearless” was Taylor’s first Billboard 200 number one back in 2008. The new version – her ninth number one – features re-recordings of all 13 songs on “Fearless”, six bonus songs added to a 2009 reissue of “Fearless”, and a collection of “from the vault” songs written for the original album that were never recorded.

        See also…

      Thanking fans on Sunday, April 18, Taylor took to social media and wrote, “Been in the studio all day recording the next one – it’s really so amazing what you all have done here.”

      Taylor Swift thanked fans for the success of ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’.

      Late rapper DMX’s greatest hits compilation, “The Best of DMX”, rockets up the chart from 73 to two following his death on April 9.

      Justin Bieber’s “Justice” falls to three in its third week on the Billboard 200, while Morgan Wallen’s “Dangerous” stays put at four and Rod Wave’s “SoulFly” rounds out the top five.

      Top Ten Billboard 200:

      “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” – Taylor Swift (291,000 units)
      “The Best of DMX” – DMX (77,000 units)
      “Justice” – Justin Bieber (60,000 units)
      “Dangerous” – Morgan Wallen (58,000 units)
      “SoulFly” – Rod Wave (55,000 units)

      Taylor Swift Plays Coy About 'Hey Stephen' Inspiration in Late-Night Sketch

      by

      CBS

      The ‘Fearless’ singer cracks jokes about who Stephen, that she mentions in one of her songs, really is in a hilarious sketch on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’.

      Apr 15, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift played coy about the inspiration for her 2008 track “Hey Stephen” during an interview on Tuesday night (13Apr21).

      The singer spoke to Stephen Colbert about the tune on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, with the chat show host asking whether or not she’d penned the song about him.

      “It’s just the power of music,” Taylor said, adding, “Don’t flatter yourself.”

      The jokey sketch continued with Taylor holding up a mood board covered in pictures of Colbert’s face, and revealing that she even knows his social security number.

      The “Fearless” star then changed direction as she hilariously revealed she’d actually written the song about horror author Stephen King.

        See also…

      “He’s amazing,” Taylor gushed. “The Dark Tower series changed my life. Plus The Shining, The Stand. And don’t even get me started on his short stories.”

      The sketch then ended with Taylor apparently receiving a call from King himself.

      “Hey Stephen” is among the songs listed on the newly released revamped album “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)”.

      Last year, the “Shake It Off” singer was legally allowed to re-record her first five albums, which Scooter Braun gained ownership of last year following his $330 million deal with Big Machine Label Group. Braun later sold her masters to a company called Shamrock Holdings for $300 million (£259 million).

      “I’ve spoken a lot about why I’m remaking my first six albums, but the way I’ve chosen to do this will hopefully illuminate where I’m coming from,” she said. “Artists should own their own work for so many reasons, but the most screamingly obvious one is that the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work.”

      Taylor Swift Finally Releases Revamped 'Fearless' Album

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Cardigan’ singer has finally launched ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’, the re-recorded version of her 2008 Grammy-winning album ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’.

      Apr 10, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift has released the first of her re-recorded albums, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)”.

      The 31-year-old megastar’s new recording of the 2008 Grammy-winning LP features 26 songs and six previously unheard tracks.

      Taylor had already released “You All Over Me (From the Vault)” featuring Maren Morris, “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)”, and “Mr. Perfectly Fine (From the Vault)”.

      The latter was penned in 2008, but never made it onto the final track-listing for the original cut of “Fearless”.

      In the tune, which fans have speculated may have been written about her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, Taylor sings, “Mr. perfect face. Mr. here to stay. Mr. look me in the eye and told me you would never go away.

        See also…

      “Hello, Mr. perfectly fine. How’s your heart after breaking mine? Mr. always at the right place at the right time, baby. Hello, Mr. casually cruel. Mr. everything revolves around you. I’ve been Miss misery since your goodbye. And you’re Mr. perfectly fine.”

      Keith Urban – who the “Cardigan” hitmaker supported on the Escape Together World in 2009 – duets with Taylor on “That’s When (From the Vault)” and the Australian superstar also added harmonies to “We Were Happy (From the Vault)”.

      “Bye Bye Baby” concludes the six unreleased cuts from “Fearless”.

      The final song on the track-listing is the bonus remix “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” by Elvira Anderfjard, a Swedish producer who has worked with the likes of Katy Perry and Tove Lo.

      Taylor had previously revealed her plans to release new versions of her early records after Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings bought the rights to her back catalogue.

      “It’s going to be fun, because it’ll feel like regaining a freedom and taking back what’s mine,” she said. “When I created (these songs), I didn’t know what they would grow up to be. Going back in and knowing that it meant something to people is actually a really beautiful way to celebrate what the fans have done for my music.”

      Taylor Swift Shares Sneak Peek of 'Breathe (Taylor's Version)' Ahead Album Re-Release

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Love Story’ singer continues with her album preview, offering a snippet of revamped ‘Breathe’ after giving a sneak peek of the ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’ title track.

      Apr 9, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift is dropping reworked “Fearless” tracks right, left and centre as she prepares to re-release the album on Friday (09Apr21).

      The singer previewed the title track on “Good Morning America” on Thursday, and then offered another sneak preview of “Breathe (Taylor’s Version)”, featuring Colbie Caillat, on Tumblr.

      She also recruited Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray to help her promote Friday’s new release.

      The 18-year-old “Drivers License” hitmaker and singer-songwriter Gray appeared in a TikTok video dancing on a bed as another re-recorded track, “You Belong With Me”, played.

      “You ok? no. fearless (taylor’s version) comes out tonight,” Gray captioned the footage. “here’s a sneak peek of one of our favorites.”

      Swift previously leaked new versions of “Love Story”, “Mr. Perfectly Fine”, a previously unheard collaboration with Maren Morris, called “You All Over Me”, and “Wildest Dreams”.

      Last weekend, Swift revealed the track listing for the Fearless bonus album, explaining it will include 27 tracks from the project’s recording sessions.

      She is in the process of re-recording her old hits to thwart the new rights owners’ efforts to make money off the originals.

      Taylor Swift Offers Snippet of 'Fearless (Taylor's Version)' Ahead of Album Release

      by

      ABC

      The ‘Shake It Off’ hitmaker hypes up the upcoming release of her re-recorded album by giving her loyal fans a sneak peek at the title track in a new TV appearance.

      Apr 9, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift appeared on “Good Morning America” on Thursday (8Apr21) to thank fans for their support ahead of the release of her re-recorded album “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and give them a sneak peek at the title track.

      The 31-year-old Grammy winner will release “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)”, which includes re-recordings of 20 songs from “Fearless”, her second album at midnight. Big Machine Label Group, where she first signed at age 15, previously owned the rights to Fearless since its 2008 release, before they were sold to Scooter Braun, despite her well-publicised objections. The new version will also include six never-before-released songs.

      Taylor appeared on “Good Morning America” in a pre-recorded message to fans on Thursday (8Apr21) and shared her joy over the imminent release of the new version.

      “Good morning, America, it’s Taylor,” she began. “I just wanted to say, first of all, you guys have been so supportive at Good Morning America since day one of this entire process of me re-recording my music. I’m so ecstatic that my album Fearless (Taylor’s Version) will be out tonight. It’s crazy that it’s finally here.”

      “I wanted to give you guys, as a thank you, an exclusive first glimpse of one of the songs on the album, the title track, ‘Fearless,’ ” she said before the 15-second clip played.

      Last year, the “Shake It Off” singer was legally allowed to re-record her first five albums, which Scooter Braun gained ownership of last year following his $330 million deal with Big Machine Label Group. Braun later sold her masters to a company called Shamrock Holdings for $300 million (£259 million).

      The “Bad Blood” hitmaker has already released “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” and two “From the Vault” tracks, “You All Over Me” and “Mr. Perfectly Fine”, from the album. The six previously unheard songs are ones that “almost made the original Fearless album,” she has previously explained.

      The ‘Game of Thrones’ star calls the song revamp ‘a bop’ while the ‘Fearless’ hitmaker reveals she is a huge fan of the actress’ famous television character.

      Apr 8, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift has revisited her split from Joe Jonas for the latest “From the Vault” gem ahead of her “Fearless” album re-release on Friday (09Apr21).

      The pop star wrote “Mr. Perfectly Fine (Taylor’s Version)” after Jonas reportedly ended their romance over the phone, and fans insist the song is all about their break-up.

      She released her new version of the track on Wednesday (07Apr21), tweeting, “Me in 2020: life is chill, writing songs based in fiction to avoid drama, feeling pretty grown up My 2008 music from the vault, in a goblin voice: ‘REELEEEEEEASE MR PERFECTLY FIIIIIIINE.’ ”

      In the song she sings, “Hello Mr. Perfectly Fine /How’s your heart after breaking mine? /Mr. always at the right place at the right time, baby /Hello, Mr. casually cruel /Mr. everything revolves around you /I’ve been Miss Misery since your goodbye /And you’re Mr. Perfectly Fine.”

      The re-release hasn’t upset Jonas’ wife Sophie Turner, who posted the Spotify listing of the song, writing, “It’s not NOT a bop @TaylorSwift,” prompting the singer to respond by referencing Sophie’s “Game of Thrones” character and stating, “forever bending the knee for the (queen) of the north.”

      Over the weekend, Swift revealed the track listing for the “Fearless” bonus album, explaining it will include 27 tracks from the project’s recording sessions. She has already released two tracks – a reworked “Love Story” and a previously unheard collaboration with Maren Morris, called “You All Over Me” – and previewed a third, “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)”.

      Swift is in the process of re-recording her old hits to thwart the new rights owners’ efforts to make money off the originals.

      Keith Urban on Collaborations With Taylor Swift for New 'Fearless' Album: That's Magic

      by

      WENN/Patricia Schlein/Instar

      ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’, which will be released on March 9, will hear the ‘Days Go By’ singer singing a duet with the ‘Love Story’ hitmaker on one song, and belting harmonies on another.

      Apr 5, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift’s upcoming “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” re-release will feature 27 tracks, including two she has recorded with former tourmate Keith Urban.

      The “Love Story” singer hinted Urban would be part of the reworked bonus album, released this week (March 9), in a cryptic video she posted online on Friday, April 2, and a day later she revealed the full track listing and stated she was thrilled when he agreed to be a part of the project.

      “I’m really honored that @KeithUrban is a part of this project, duetting on ‘That’s When’ and singing harmonies on ‘We Were Happy’,” she wrote. “I was his opening act during the ‘Fearless’ album era and his music has inspired me endlessly.”

        See also…

      She added, “I’m counting down the minutes til we can all jump into this brave world together, filled with equal parts nostalgia and brand newness. Head first, Fearless.”

      Urban responded to Taylor’s post, tweeting that her producers Jack Antanoff and Aaron Dessner asked him if he’d join their band and the country singer said, “hell yes!!”

      He added, “They said you’re gonna love our lead singer – she’s fearless. We got to sing together and were so happy, and I said that’s magic when stars align like that!!!!!”

      Keith Urban gushed over collaborations with Taylor Swift.

      Swift is remaking all her albums up to 2017’s “Reputation” after the rights to the records were sold to music mogul Scooter Braun by her former record label boss without her permission. Taylor has already released two tracks – a reworked “Love Story” and a previously unheard collaboration with Maren Morris, called “You All Over Me” – and previewed a third, “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)”.

      Taylor Swift Confirms Keith Urban Duet After Challenging Fans to Decode Her Gold Vault

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Willow’ singer announces the official tracklist for her upcoming album re-release after dropping hints about her collaborator with a gold vault clip on Instagram.

      Apr 4, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Taylor Swift has hinted she’s re-recording one of her old songs with Keith Urban.

      The pop star dropped a cryptic video message on Friday (02Apr21) and challenged fans to decode anagram clues that popped out of a gold vault.

      Fans were quick to figure out the clues, scrambling the song titles “We Were Happy”, “Don’t You”, “Mr. Perfectly Fine”, “Bye Bye Baby”, and “That’s When,” while Keith’s name also popped up, with fans suggesting he will be appearing on one of the new songs Taylor is releasing from her “Fearless” album sessions.

      It’s not clear on which one Urban will feature, but superfans noted the song playing in the background of the vault video was “Don’t You”.

        See also…

      The full album will be released on 9 April (21).

      Swift is re-recording her old songs to thwart the new owners of her former record company – and her back catalogue – from making any money from her hits.

      Hours later, Taylor Swift confirmed Keith Urban collaboration by revealing the official tracklist.

      She teams up with Keith on “That’s When”, Maren Morris on “You All Over Me”, and Colbie Caillat on “Breathe”.

      “I’ve spoken a lot about why I’m remaking my first six albums, but the way I’ve chosen to do this will hopefully illuminate where I’m coming from,” she explained to her online devotees. “Artists should own their own work for so many reasons, but the most screamingly obvious one is that the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work. For example, only I know which songs I wrote that almost made the ‘Fearless’ album. Songs I absolutely adored, but were held back for different reasons (don’t want too many breakup songs, don’t want too many down tempo songs, can’t fit that many songs on a physical CD).”
