Theory:Taylor Swifthas not released her new album yet because she didn't want to steal the spotlight from boyfriend Joe Alwyn, whose new show Conversations with Friends just premiered on Hulu.
It makes sense doesn't it?
Swifties have been on the edge of their seats, getting teardrops all over their guitars, waiting desperately for a new album release, a new announcement, or SOMETHING from the singer.
Many thought she would wink at the news at this year's Met Gala: not a word (or an appearane).
Everyone was convinced something big was going to break on Friday the 13th: no such luck.
While there is no doubt that the singer is having fun playing with all of our emotions (like, cruel but fair), she's been holding out for a while. I think i know why.
While Alwyn has taken part in several other amazing projects, includingHarrietandMary Queen of Scotts, Conversations with Friendshas the potential to be Alwyn's true claim to fame-- especially in light of the major success of the Hulu adaptation of Sally Rooney's other work Normal People.
"I was very aware of how loved Sally is...I've read all her books right when they came out, and was a huge fan of Normal Peoplethe show."
It is an undeniably incredible opportunity for the actor.
DO YOU REALIZE HOW SH***Y IT WOULD BE, AS HIS GIRLFRIEND, TO TAKE ALL OF THE ATTENTION RIGHT NOW?!?!
Given the overwhelming power of Taylor Swift, if she released a new album even the month before Conversations with Friends, it would still be all anyone would be able to talk about.
Now, I'm not saying that she needs to *dull her sparkle* for him or any of that nonsense, but this is just common courtesy. If your friend planned a party, would you then turn around and plan a party on the same night? NO WAY!
We haven't heard anythign from Taylor because she is out in the world being a considerate person. (Which is, YET AGAIN, cruel but fair.)

So, Swifites; my guess? We are not going to have an announcement from Taylor until around June 15th- approximately a month after Conversations with Friends was first released.
(Maybe if we all go watch Conversations with Friends really quickly now she will announce something sooner!)
Robert Redford, the Oscar-winning actor, director, and activist, died. He was 89 years old. Redford leaves a career that defined generations of American cinema while shaping global conversations about the environment and social justice. His death marks the passing of not only a Hollywood icon but also one of the most influential cultural figures of the past half-century.
Actor Jon Cryer revealed the pay gap between himself and Charlie Sheen on the set of "Two and a Half Men," where he reportedly earned only a third of the latter's salary per episode.
One of the most emotional moments of the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards came when Stephen Colbert took the stage to accept the Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series. During his speech, he paused to honor someone who had worked beside him for more than a decade: Amy Cole, his longtime assistant who died in March 2024.
The American actress and comedian took to the Emmys after winning the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series to make a series of bold political statements.
The cancellation of the late-night host's show, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," was speculated to have been caused by pressure from the Trump administration.
