Taylor Swift Releases Folklore

Most of the things Taylor Swift had planned for the summer of 2020 didn’t end up happening, but there was something magical that did happen, the surprise release of her 8th studio album, folklore. “Before this year I probably would’ve overthought when to release this music at the “perfect” time, but the times we’re living in keep reminding me that nothing is guaranteed,” said Taylor. “My gut telling me that if you make something you love, you should just put it out into the world. That’s the side of uncertainty I can get on board with.” This spectacular 16-song album was produced by Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff and Taylor Swift and features a musical collaboration with Bon Iver. Vinyl editions of the album will feature one bonus track.

Bad Ideas With Adam Devine Series Premieres on Monday, July 27

This series is Adam’s twisted take on an adventure series. In each episode, he and a famous actor or comedian will travel to a new location in search of adventures that are already inherently dangerous – only they’ll add their own extra special sauce to ensure they are truly terrible choices. Entering a chili pepper eating contest with the most scorching peppers on earth… when you don’t like spicy food? Unwise. Visiting a haunted place… to purposely conjure a demon? Wouldn’t do it. Driving the narrow cliff trail aka The Death Road in South America… in an ice cream truck? No thanks. Yet for Adam and his friends, this ill-conceived way to experience the world is just their (bad) idea of travel. Guest stars include: Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, Brent Morin, “CJ” Lana Perry, Rebel Wilson and Thomas Middleditch.
