Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ed Sheeran has been in the thick of headlines these past few days, making waves with a string of ambitious projects and distinctive public moments that underscore both his star power and ongoing hustle. The biggest buzz right now is his upcoming Netflix music special, One Shot with Ed Sheeran, streaming November 21. What makes this special such a talking point is its daring format: filmed in a single unbroken take throughout the city of New York, the project sees Sheeran traversing sidewalks and subway cars while performing live, unrehearsed, and completely unscripted. The Netflix team paired him with the crew behind Adolescence, and the result—according to a sneak peek aired on the Graham Norton Show—turns New York into his stage, capturing not just the singer but the candid, spontaneous interactions as fans and tourists weave into the narrative. If the early footage is any indication, expect genuine surprises—one wrong note and there's no fix in post. That storyline alone has major long-term biographical resonance, marking Sheeran both as a risk-taker and a boundary-pusher in music specials, and media is already drawing him into conversations about the evolution of the concert film genre.Hot on the heels of his new album, Play, which dropped in September, Sheeran's continued visibility is equal parts creative and business minded. Billboard's Hot 100 shows singles like Azizam peaking much lower than his past smashes and early reviews from outlets like Rolling Stone and The Guilfordian have been tepid, with critics noting the album's lack of innovation and recycled themes. His ambition to blend pop with global influences, especially Indian music, is noted but the fusion is getting mixed reviews from both fans and cultural critics, some feeling the experiment diluted rather than celebrated its inspirations.Meanwhile, on the road, Sheeran's blockbuster Mathematics Tour is rolling into its final year, with upcoming stops across Europe including an anticipated record-breaking crowd in Rome's Stadio Olimpico in June. His surprise tour moments—such as joint performances with local artists in Asia and Latin America—are keeping the setlists fresh and the social feeds humming. Pollstar recently confirmed the tour's continued commercial dominance, comparing his grosses with Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, illustrating Sheeran's ongoing significance in live entertainment economics.Outside of spotlight performances, an unannounced visit to Belfast Boys' Model school to donate his signature Lowden guitars showed a philanthropic side, reinforcing his commitment to music education—a story that's caught the attention of BBC and Guitar World. Social channels reflected a wave of related kudos as fans shared clips of grateful students and Sheeran's classroom pep talks.Not to be neglected are his recent pop culture moves: Ed just released a single, A Little More, with a music video starring Rupert Grint—yes, Ron Weasley himself—reprising his comedic fan role from the 2011 Lego House video. The narrative twist and outright humor made headlines on IMDb and entertainment blogs, especially as the track deals with themes of self-care and resilience, adding depth to Sheeran's artistic footprint.Between his Netflix gambit, the lukewarm-to-buzzy new album, massive tour wrap-up, heartfelt philanthropy, and sly pop culture reinventions, Ed Sheeran remains a fixture in both gossip columns and serious music coverage—an artist who, even as critics chide him for repetition, is ceaselessly rewriting what it means to be a global pop phenomenon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive deep into one of Taylor's most beloved bonus tracks: “right where you left me” — Track 16 from the Evermore (Deluxe Edition). Swifties have crowned this song a top-tier masterpiece, and today we're breaking down every lyric, every Easter egg, and every emotional gut-punch that makes it unforgettable. We revisit Taylor's iconic Eras Tour performance of the song — including that perfectly relatable moment when even Taylor Swift herself stumbles over the lyrics she admits are “one of the wordiest songs” in her catalog. We fangirl over the brand-new Eras Tour docuseries trailer and what it reveals about Taylor's creative process, color-coded chaos, surprise song strategy, and the behind-the-scenes moments we've been dying to see. From lyric dissection to real-life parallels, we explore: The heartbreaking imagery behind “Help, I'm still at the restaurant” and being emotionally frozen in time Connections between Evermore, The Life of a Showgirl, and Taylor's evolving narrative Taylor's fears, superstitions, and creative reinventions Why this track resonates so deeply with grief, growth, and the fear of being left behind The parallels to “Opalite” — and how Taylor finally leaves the table And then — one of the most unforgettable moments from the 13 Podcast voicemail..We receive a stunning, heartfelt voicemail from Antarctica. Yes, literally the bottom of the world. A Swiftie shares how our episode countdowns, Instagram posts, and podcast have become a lifeline in isolation and inspired “Taylor Tuesdays” at the southernmost edge of the planet. It's goosebumps. It's full-body chills. It's why we do this. Whether you're here for lyric lore, Taylor's universe-level storytelling, emotional wreckage, or just to laugh at our collective inability to spell “restaurant,” this episode has everything Swifties crave.

Despite her widespread appeal, Taylor Swift still draws some polarising opinions, especially since the release of her brand new album on October 3rd, The Life of a Showgirl. This outing was a departure from her previous era, as she would call it, The Tortured Poets Department, which saw her lament about her inner life for 31 songs. Showgirl was branded as Swift's foray into “life behind the curtains”, coming off a huge career-high, the Eras Tour, the highest-grossing tour of all time, and a three-and-a-half-hour-long celebration of Swift's catalogue. In this weekender episode, we explore the mixed reactions to Life of a Showgirl and Swift's appeal in non-Western countries, such as India.

Taylor Swift is arguably the most famous person in the world – a pop star the likes of whom many of us haven't seen in our lifetimes. Especially over the past year with the release of her latest album Midnights and her record-breaking The Eras Tour, it's not crazy to wonder if what we are witnessing right now is somewhat analogous to the Beatlemania of the 1960s. So what exactly is the phenomenon of Taylor Swift? Why has she risen to the heights that she has and captivated so many people like few other artists have before her? Is this truly a special pop culture moment, or is it perhaps being overstated? Music industry veteran Ralph Jaccodine joins the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
fWotD Episode 3097: How You Get the Girl Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 27 October 2025, is How You Get the Girl."How You Get the Girl" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). She wrote it with its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. An electropop and bubblegum pop song, "How You Get the Girl" is a ballad that features acoustic guitar strums and a heavy disco beat. The lyrics find Swift telling a man how to win his ex-girlfriend back after their breakup. Some music critics praised the song as catchy and energetic; they particularly highlighted the chorus and how the track combines acoustic and electronic elements. Less enthusiastic reviews considered the production generic and the lyrics lightweight. "How You Get the Girl" charted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart in the United States and on the Canadian Hot 100 chart in Canada. It received certifications in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Swift included "How You Get the Girl" in the set list of the 1989 World Tour (2015), with choreography that evoked the musical film Singin' in the Rain (1952). She performed it on some dates of her later tours, the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018) and the Eras Tour (2023–2024). The track was used in a Diet Coke advertisement prior to its release.Following a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of her back catalog, Swift re-recorded the song as "How You Get the Girl (Taylor's Version)" for her fourth re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023). She produced the new version with Christopher Rowe. Music critics believed that the re-recording had a vibrant sound and an enhanced production quality. The track reached number 29 on the Billboard Global 200 chart and the top 40 on the national charts of Canada, New Zealand, and the United States.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Monday, 27 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see How You Get the Girl on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joanna.

Don and Dude get honest about the records that live in their guilty pleasure zone. These are favorites we rarely admit loving but revisit for comfort, catharsis, and cool-defying joy. Get ready for heartfelt hooks, lush harmonies, and surprising confessions.These are the records we play in private, the ones that keep finding their way back onto the playlist, no matter what critics say. From grungy Buffalo alt-rock to glossy New Jack Swing, this episode is all about celebrating what truly moves us.Goo Goo Dolls – Dizzy Up The Girl (1998)Buffalo band's sixth album shows John Rzeznik's transition from punk covers to melodic, alternative rock stardom. Produced by Rob Cavallo, the band delivers earnest lyrics paired with arena-ready production. They found massive success after the breakthrough single “Name”.This record features a blend of punk grit with pop-rock polish. Upbeat riffs, cinematic string arrangements by David Campbell, and vulnerable songwriting all combine to make their sound distinct. Tracks like “Dizzy,” “Black Balloon,” “Broadway,” and “Iris” balance introspection and radio-friendliness. Deep cuts add emotional complexity and raw energy. The album established the Goo Goo Dolls as melodic hit-makers and proved vulnerability and anthems can work together.Color Me Badd – C.M.B. (1991)The breakout debut from this Oklahoma City vocal group became a cornerstone of R&B, pop, and New Jack Swing.

Judd Kessler is a Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. A leading scholar of market design, he was named one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 for his groundbreaking work on organ allocation and received the Vernon L. Smith Ascending Scholar Prize for his pioneering research. His insights have been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and on Hidden Brain and Freakonomics. With degrees from Harvard and Cambridge, Judd studies the hidden markets that shape our lives and how we can navigate them more effectively. He is also the author of the book, Lucky be Design. In this episode we discuss the following: The most common way to allocate scarce resources is through pricing. But other mechanisms exist: hidden markets. And by staying alert for these hidden markets, we can increase our luck. One of the most common hidden markets is the race: first come, first serve. In Judd's case, when he realized that demand was going to outstrip supply for his child's after school program, he recognized he was in a race, so he made sure to sign up right when registration opened. And he increased his luck. The lottery is another hidden market. If four friends wanted to attend Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, they increase their luck by each entering the lottery for four tickets each. Hunters increase their luck by entering the lottery in years when they're not able to hunt. And people needing organ transplants increase their luck when they sign up through multiple transplant centers. To get lucky in the dating app world, people can signal that they are worth investing in. And then I loved Judd's insight on settling for silver. Whether we're trying to get lucky in college admissions, with restaurant reservations, or even in the dating market, we can increase our luck by pursuing a more attainable, less competitive option. And in many cases the silver turns out to be more desirable than the gold.

In this special bonus episode of On Brand: Taylor's Version, now that The Life of a Showgirl is out in the world, we're asking: what does this new era tell us about Taylor Swift? To explore, I'm joined by Joanna Weiss, editor of Harvard Magazine, journalist, and co-author of Taylor Swift: Album by Album, a deep dive into every era. Together, we'll unpack how Showgirl fits into Taylor's evolution and what this chapter reveals about her storytelling, strategy, and brand. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Life of a Showgirl fits into Taylor Swift's evolution as an artist and storyteller Why some fans are divided on this album — and what that says about the expectations Taylor sets with each new era How Taylor balances real-life inspiration with fiction and character-driven songwriting What her creative process and relentless work ethic reveal about brand storytelling and reinvention Why Taylor's storytelling genius is as much about community and connection as it is about the music Episode Chapters (00:00) Intro (00:47) Welcome Joanna Weiss (04:24) How the book Taylor Swift: Album by Album came together (07:02) Early takes on Life of a Showgirl (11:04) What makes an “era” — and how Showgirl fits in (19:18) What Taylor's saying with this album (25:23) Her creative process and work ethic (30:37) Money, power, and independence (33:20) The Taylor song that makes Joanna smile About Joanna Weiss Joanna Weiss is the editor of Harvard Magazine, a contributing writer for Politico Magazine, and a former columnist for The Boston Globe. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, Slate, The Economist, and many other outlets. After chronicling her own Eras Tour experience for Boston's NPR affiliate WBUR, Joanna dove deeper into the Swiftiverse as co-author of Taylor Swift: Album by Album (Quarto Books), which explores each of Taylor's eras in detail. In addition to her journalism career, Joanna fronts a rock band she formed with five fellow moms — a story captured in her Boston Magazine feature “For Those Moms About to Rock,” now optioned for film by 20th Century Studios. What Taylor Era Has Made Joanna Smile Recently? When asked which Taylor song or era makes her smile, Joanna picked “Love Story.” Despite everything that has come since, she still returns to that song for its sheer emotional clarity — a bedroom-written, 20-minute burst of teenage storytelling that still captures the universal thrill of hope, love, and happily-ever-after energy that defines so much of Taylor's work.

This is an emergency broadcast from the EIC newsroom, on the third of October 2025 Taylor Swift released her twelfth studio album, The Life Of A Show Girl.Here at EIC headquarters we had been warming to Taylor after a collective indifference, but it seems we may have potentially picked a bad time to enSwifticate ourselves. TLOAS tracks were leaked just before release, and immediately, the drama began.The album was recorded in Sweden with the producers Max Martin and Shellback, who she made "22," "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," "Blank Space," "Style," "Shake It Off," "…Ready For It?" and "Delicate."with, mostly during the European leg of the Eras Tour in 2024.The album consists of 12 tracks, with one featuring Sabrina Carpenter. It sold 2.7 million copies in traditional album sales — which include physical and digital formats — in its first day in the U.S. That's according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company, breaking her previous record for most first week sales with TTPD.In the now infamous episode of her American Football playing fiance's podcast, Taylor described the album as “What was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant. It just comes from like the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life.“And so that effervescence has come through on this record' she said ‘that the goal of the album was “melodies that were so infectious that you're almost angry at it” and also lyrics that “are as vivid, crisp, focused, and completely intentional.”‘This is the record I've been wanting to make for a very long time. Every single song is on this album for hundreds of reasons … It's just right.” she said.Controversy started with Actually Romantic, which is rumoured to be about Charli xcx, but that isn't her only eyebrow raiser. Some are upset at the highly sexualised nature of tracks like ‘wood', some are critcising her for releasing multiple variants with bonus tracks, or different recordings, to appeal to collectors and boost album sales by counting each variant as a separate purchase; some of the promo videos that used QR codes or other interactive elements were flagged by people online as possibly being made partly with generative AI, which has caused a stir not least because Swift has been vocal about artists needing control of their work and masters, but also because of the awful instance when people made a deepfake of her. However that is unconfirmed.What is confirmed is that for the first time potentially in Swift's career, it's her own fans saying they don't like the album, or are disappointed.We try to see the wood from the trees... see what we did there ;)Thanks so much for all of your takes on this topic, we appreciate you all!

An image taking up most of the cover shows an anatomical cutout of a human head and brain leading to speculation that Brainiac will be the villain Superman and perhaps Lex Luthor have to team up against. Matt Reeves also chimed in on the same topic, though separately, and shared that the villain for The Batman: Part II will be a character that has “never really been done” in a film before. Reeves also confirmed his films are Elseworlds projects not part of the DCU.The first trailer has been released for Sony's comedic reimagining of the 1997 film Anaconda which stars Jack Black and Paul Rudd.

Melinda reflects on the viral moment Taylor Swift wore her “Julian Loves Diamonds” necklace during the Eras Tour, why persistence mattered more than luck when Nordstrom finally took a chance on her, and how a relentless belief in her product carried her through every stage of growth. Her story leaves entrepreneurs with three powerful reminders: keep betting on yourself even when no one else does, treat rejection as a doorway instead of a wall, and understand your numbers as deeply as you understand your craft.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Believing in Yourself and Your Business05:07 Early Passion for Jewelry08:07 Selling Jewelry at Starbucks10:09 Winning Game Shows for Seed Money16:37 Self-Advocating and Building Connections27:08 Persistence Pays Off with Nordstrom39:32 Melinda's Actionable Advice for EntrepreneursConnect with Melinda Maria Spigel:Follow Melinda Maria on InstagramRegister for our FREE Sweep Workshop: The No Fluff Marketing Framework for Small Business Owners.

#skimspartnerJOIN THE WEIRDEST PATREON EVER!: https://www.patreon.com/c/TrashTuesdayPodcast Ivy Wolk (Anora) crashes the pod this week! She teaches us her ultimate life mantra and her response to her five year situation asking for a threesome: “be yourself, have fun, and learn along the way” We get into: not being allowed into the Anora Cannes premiere (justice for Ivy), how Taylor Swift is microdosing high school and Taylor giving us NOTHING during the Eras Tour. Jules lays out her master plan to bag Harry Styles, Ivy confesses her third-grade crush, and we dive deep into the true Morrissey experience. Also on the docket: Courtney Love vs. Patti Lupone (!!), and Ivy explaining why Chappell Roan how and why she’s probably a reactive lesbian. We pressed record and then let Ivy do her thing.
