Taylor Swift dropped a new album on Friday, but some people don’t like the lyrics to her new song, "I Hate It Here." In the track off of "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology," a deluxe version of her new album, Swift sings about discontent and the way our recollections are distorted by nostalgia. In it, she says she wants to return to an era that ended more than a century before her career began. "My friends used to play a game where we would pick a decade we wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists and getting married off for the highest bid," Swift sings in the song. The Civil War began in 1861, more than 30 years after the decade Swift references in the song. Slavery was still active in the U.S. during this time. "Everyone would look down 'cause it wasn't fun now seems like it was never even fun back then / Nostalgia is a mind's trick if I'd been there, I'd hate it," she sings. "It was freezing in the palace." Fans on X reacted to “I Hate It Here.” “y’all .. there are so many wrong things about this," one user wrote, while posting a screenshot of the song's lyrics from Genius. "'I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists' now Taylor …" another wrote.

I think it’s arrogant to think you could have done something different. You couldn’t. That’s why you did what you did.”

Michael Douglas defended President Joe Biden against criticisms from his opponents regarding his age during a CNN interview. In an interview with CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria, Douglas said Biden’s age shouldn’t be an issue because he is “sharp as a tack.” The actor also said Biden’s cabinet members would work with the president again unlike Donald Trump’s former cabinet members. The actor said: “Well, I think that I walk a little similar to him. And the people that I’ve talked to and everybody that I have, say he’s sharp as a tack. He’s fine. We all have an issue with memories as we get older, we forget names. He’s overcome a stutter in his life. But let’s just say that his entire cabinet, including his vice president, everybody in his cabinet would be more than happy to work with him again in the next term. I cannot say that about the other candidate running because nobody in his cabinet from 2016 wants to be involved with him.”

Henry said that one of his friends had poked fun at him for eating a pastrami sandwich that morning ahead of the interview in New York as he said his pal told him: “Meat first thing in the morning, no good.” Kelly tried helping the hunky actor with his case as she replied: “Well, steak and eggs, I don't know. I don't mind meat in the morning. Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Kelly quickly realized her mistake as she giggled to herself before putting her head down in shame and darting up and off the chair. She then walked toward the camera and off set as Henry laughed.

Courtney Love sat down for an interview with UK publication The Standard recently, where she opened up about which female artists she likes (Patti Smith, Nina Simone, PJ Harvey and Debbie Harry) and which ones she doesn’t, leading with Taylor Swift. “Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist,” Love said. She also said she’s growing tired of Lana Del Rey. “I haven’t liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off,” she said. “Up until ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ I thought she was great. When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much.”

USA Network is encouraging a group of contestants to stay anonymous with its latest unscripted competition series. The cable network has ordered The Anonymous, the All3Media-backed production company behind series such as Peacock’s The Traitors and Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge. The series is a game of social strategy where people are free to say what they really feel behind the safety of a mask. What would you say and do if nobody was watching you? It is played in two worlds: the real world, where players interact face to face, but also a digital world, where the players communicate behind a mask of anonymity, known as Anonymous Mode. Here in individual private hideouts, each player is free to say whatever they want to advance their game. The question is: Can they stay anonymous or will the other players guess their identity causing them to lose their power in the game? The series is set to film in Europe.
