Whatcha Say: Taylor Swift, Iggy Azalea & M.I.A. Got Our Readers Talking
We’ve finally reached the weekend, Idolator readers! The past few days were filled with major music moments, which kicked off with Taylor Swift bringing all her famous BFFs onto her 1989 World Tour stage — including Nick Jonas, The Weeknd, Lorde and Jason Derulo.
Chvrches announced their sophomore album title while releasing a new song in the process, and Brooke Hogan is making a comeback with country. One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson is also a future baby daddy!
Ciara also dropped an incredibly steamy video for her “Dance Like We’re Making Love” single, while Birdman and Young Thug allegedly conspired to kill Lil Wayne. Oh, Lana Del Rey unveiled her “Honeymoon” tune out of nowhere.
Over at the Idolator headquarters, we kept busy with various premieres from Daya, Chachi, PHASES, ROZES and Leona Lewis. Our editors curated an extensive timeline about Kanye West‘s SWISH album, and put together a list of the top house producers who should be on your radar. Betty Who made an exclusive summer-ready playlist, while we also interviewed Bea Miller and MS MR.

:: Brent Minnich isn’t here for Tay’s moves on Taylor Swift And Nick Jonas Sing “Jealous” At ‘1989’ Concert: Watch: “taylor swift really needs to learn some dance moves…her trying to be sexy is laughable. i only say this because she is trying to be a live performer with hints of sex appeal. don’t freak out people, cuz I actually like Taylor Swift.”
:: BATMAN had some strong feelings on Iggy Azalea Confirms That Jidenna’s Breakthrough Hit “Classic Man” Samples “Fancy”: “How can she confirm that about HIS song? I realized that it did sound like fancy, he just made it WAY better. Iggy is probablly butthurt that he’s gonna get bigger, and his song is bigger and better than Fancy, and she will die away soon (in the music bis I mean)”
:: shanparker shaded us on M.I.A. Announces Globe-Trotting Visual Album ‘Matahdatah’: “The article just needed Beyonce included for better search results”
:: Jesse German also got us together on The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan Has A Writing Credit On Miguel’s ‘Wildheart’: “Corgan didn’t write some little piece of shit article on a second rate website, Carl.”
:: jake is obviously #TeamBritney on Britney Spears Is Presenting At The ESPYs: Could She Be Next Year’s Super Bowl Performer After All?: “Notoriously shaky live performer? Are we not taking into account all the years she spent as the world’s most dynamic performer prior to her breakdown? VMA queen of performances? Her amazing American Music Awards performances? Her surprisingly fantastic and LIVE performances on SNL?….BUT SHE IS “notoriously” shaky? SERIOUSLY? What does this girl have to do!? Jaysus…”
:: Emmet Willis brought up gender inequalities on Justin Bieber’s Butt Is No Longer On Instagram, And Here’s Why: “It’s bloody ridiculous. Loads of females artists are naked all over social media, if not on Instagram — and Miley, Rihanna and Beyonce have come darn close to naked on the site and certainly elsewhere – and they have young fans too. It’s one rule for girls and another for boys. Equality should mean equality.”
:: xSushi had this to say on Rita Ora Is The “Hottest Woman In The World” According To ‘Zoo’ Magazine: See Her Sexy Shoot: “I like her, great photo, but it’s like Beyonce and Rihanna got tossed into a blender. Hehe.”
:: Thomas Alex Dugrosprez got Sinead O’Connor together on Sinead O’Connor Calls Kim Kardashian A C-Word, Blames Her For Death Of Music: “It’s just really funny when you follow her on social medias, as she calls herself a feminist. Girl, if you’re a feminist, you don’t drag other women publicly for doing their thing. Hasn’t Beyoncé taught you anything?
Plus, where was she when they put the Boston bomber on their front page?”
:: James was #unapologetic on Fergie Is Putting The Finishing Touches On Her Comeback Album, Promises A 2015 Release Date: “Why? didn’t it prove from her last single that nobody cared?”
:: Lastly, Rubster wrapped up with this quip on Louis Tomlinson Is Reportedly Expecting A Child With Briana Jungwirth: “What a committed beard!”
