Music News with Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez

Taylor Swift has extended the record for the most time spent as the top musical act in the US.  The “Cardigan” singer landed on top of the Billboard Artist 100 for the 48th week. Billboard writes that her rise is due to the overwhelming sales of the newly released vinyl version of Evermore. Evermore rebounded from No. 74 to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 202,000 equivalent album units, according to MRC Data.

Selena Gomez revisited some of her most famous red carpet looks for Vogue’s “Life in Looks” video series and revealed that she didn’t feel good about herself at the 2015 Met Gala. The “Rare” singer said, “I fluctuate a lot with my weight.  I remember this night specifically I didn’t feel good about my body.” Despite her poor body image, the then-22-year-old singer had nothing but good things to say about the white Vera Wang gown she wore to the event.  Gomez recalled, “What was really amazing was that I actually got a chance to work on the dress that fit my body. I had such a beautiful time shaping this dress. I think that we came together and built something really beautiful and something that fit me really well.”Ultimately, she realized, “That was one of the moments where I was like, I don’t have the be that 19-year-old body shape because I’m not.”
