TAYLOR SWIFT MARKS MILESTONE WITH DUBLIN SHOW: Taylor Swift’s weekend show at Dublin’s Croke Park was one for the record books. Taylor told the crowd that she’s one of only four female performers ever to perform at the Irish venue, which holds 82,000 people. And she’s the only female performer ever to play there for two nights. The other three women who’ve headlined the massive venue are Celine Dion, Beyonc and Tina Turner.

ZAYN MALIK OPENS UP ABOUT RELATIONSHIP WITH GIGI HADID: Despite the fact that Zayn and his girlfriend Gigi Hadid announced back in March that they were splitting after two years, it seems breaking up is hard to do. Since then, the two have been spotted kissing and cuddling. Now, in a new GQ cover story, Zayn can’t stop gushing about her. In the interview, Zayn speaks about Gigi in the present tense, saying things like “we go to the farm” – the farm he recently bought in Pennsylvania on the advice of Gigi’s mom, Yolanda. “I’m really thankful that I met her,” Zayn said. “We’re still really good friends, and we’re still in contact. We’re adults. We don’t need to put a label on it, make it something for people’s expectations.” Zayn also tells GQ that Gigi helped him rethink his priorities when he started partying too much after he released his debut album. And when GQ mishears a comment Zayn makes about Gigi being “good with debts,” he says, “No, no. Dates. She doesn’t handle my finances yet. We’ll get to that eventually.”

CHARLI XCX & TOVE LO THROW DISSES AT EACH OTHER FOR ‘DROP THE MIC’: Charli XCX & Tove Lo are the latest celebs to hurl insults at each other for an episode of the TBS show Drop the Mic. The singers battled each other for the latest episode. “My after parties are lit, whole clubs get ignited, but you wouldn’t know ’bout them, because you’re never invited,” Charli rapped. “You have an album named Sucker, well that’s a riot. You named it after anybody dumb enough to buy it,” Tove said during her rap.
