Taylor Swift names ‘LUX’ by Rosalía and ‘The Art of Loving’ by Olivia Dean as two of her favorite albums from the past year — when asked about how technology could never replace the creative process of making music:
“If I look back to the past year in music, there are two perfect albums that I love and return to over and over again: Olivia Dean [The Art of Loving] and Rosalía [LUX]. Olivia’s album feels like a warm hug. I listen to it constantly, in almost every situation. Rosalía has created an ambitious, conceptual and expansive album that could have only been born from her own life experience. These two records are amazing because they are human; that is why we as human beings connect to them. It seems to me that when humans create something so extraordinary, that should, in the first place, uplift the rest of us and inspire us, as well as make us feel that we indeed keep winning. We humans keep winning in this fight [against technology].”

"Olivia Dean's album is like a warm hug; I listen to it constantly, in almost any situation. For her part, Rosalía has created an ambitious and expansive concept album that could only have emerged from her own life experience. These records are wonderful because they are human, they are made by people and deal with the human experience; that's why human beings connect with them. And it seems to me that, when human beings create something so extraordinary, that should, first of all, elevate us to all others and inspire us; and also, it should make us feel that, indeed, we continue to win. Human beings continue to win in this."

Robert Pattinson is a phenomenal actor and he’d crush the role of James Bond, but we’re about to have the biggest James Bond argument in 20 years:
For 60 years, the magic of 007 was casting a rising actor (Connery, Brosnan, Craig) and turning them into a superstar. Handing the tuxedo to a 40-year-old who already played Edward Cullen and Batman on a short 3-film leash feels like Amazon playing it way too safe
Does James Bond still work when the actor is already bigger than the role?
I’m up early to cover our #CriticsChoice press conference with #TaylorSwift for #ToyStory5.
For all #Swifties wondering: photos, screenshots & video recordings are NOT ALLOWED.
Might be able to thread some quotes from her below (if my fingers move fast enough!). Stay tuned!
For the first time in 13 years, Taylor is returning to perform on the #CMAawards stage. Watch live on Wednesday on @ABCNetwork and @Disneyplus at 7pm CT!
As it turns out, UConn’s ability to look like a national championship contender or just a mediocre team, depends solely on Sarah Strong’s ability to remain on the floor.
