Keith Urban is sharing his thoughts on Taylor Swift’s evolution over the years.

The 56-year-old country singer expressed his admiration for the Anti-hero hitmaker in a recent interview with U.K. newspaper The Times on Friday, September 20.

Referring to the comments on the 34-year-old’s 2010 Grammys performance, Urban told the outlet, “It’s been remarkable watching Taylor grow in public because it’s pretty brutal. It feels like now people have long forgotten all of the s— she had to go through.”

He added, “Just trial by fire over and over — and always getting stronger for it.”

Swift and Urban have a long history, dating back to 2009 when she opened for him on tour.

The singer opened up about the Grammy Award winner’s performance at the time, noting, “When she opened for us, I watched her perform and I’m, like, ‘Oh, this girl has her sights way past this thing.’”

On professional front, the duo has shared the stage multiple times, notably at the 2014 Grammy Awards and during Swift’s 1989 World Tour in 2015.

This comes after Urban spoke to People Magazine about the songstress following the release of her latest album The Tortured Poets Department.

Next year’s Oscars are shaping up to be a thrilling competition among some of music’s biggest stars, with Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande all vying for a Best Supporting Actress nomination. 

The 97th Academy Awards, scheduled for March 2, 2025, have sparked excitement as predictions suggest these pop divas could be in the running for the coveted award.

According to Variety’s Awards Circuit Predictions, all three artists are positioned to campaign for their nominations ahead of the award season. 

Selena Gomez is already making waves for her performance as wife and mother Jessi Del Monte in Netflix’s musical drama, Emilia Pérez. 

Selena stars alongside a talented cast in the upcoming Netflix film, featuring Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Édgar Ramírez, and Adriana Paz. 

The film tells the story of an underrated lawyer, played by Saldaña, who navigates a complex world where a large law firm is more focused on freeing criminals than delivering justice.

In a statement about the film, Karla Sofía Gascón described it as a unique blend of genres, saying, “You have a musical that is not a musical, an action movie that’s not an action movie, a drama that’s not a drama, a comedy that’s not a comedy. 

It is such a great gift, and I’m so proud to be part of it.”

Emilia Pérez is set to premiere on Netflix on November 13 in the US, Canada, and the UK, promising viewers an exciting and innovative cinematic experience!

Prince William sparked a royal frenzy during a recent appearance that had nothing to do with his signature stubble. 

Known as the Duke of Rothesay when in Scotland, the Prince of Wales attended a lunch event in Aberdeen hosted by Homewards Aberdeen for representatives from the homelessness sector.

One particular snapshot from the event quickly captured attention, showing William looking ahead with what appeared to be a halo above his head—likely the result of light reflecting from a fitting. 

The amusing image added an unexpected touch of intrigue to his visit, delighting royal fans and prompting a flurry of reactions on social media.

Social media erupted with comments after a snapshot of Prince William at a recent event in Aberdeen went viral, showcasing him with a halo-like effect above his head. 

One user quipped, “O Wow. Hoping God is onboard too,” while another added, “He’s rocking that halo.”

The commentary continued, with one fan exclaiming, “Holy Cow!! or should I say Holy Prince!” Another remarked, “He’s an Angel,” and yet another chimed in with, “Saintly gorgeous!!!”

Demi Lovato is ready to talk about all her difficult experiences.

In her new documentary Child Star, which marks her directorial debut, Lovato did not shy away from sharing her dark moments.

The American singer went on revealing the bitter truth about life and career, explaining how the fame impacted her mental health.

“I didn’t realize that it would have such a negative impact on my mental health,” the 32-year-old star said.

She continued, “And unfortunately, sometimes that looks explosive, like an incident where you punch your backup dancer on an airplane or you overdose from heroin.”

For the unversed, back in 2010, Lovato punched a dancer on stage where she was performing for The Jonas Brothers tour. The incident led to the Sorry Not Sorry songstress to go to rehab and take a break from music.

As revealed in her documentary, the Disney alum was abusing drugs and alcohol at the time, which caused her three strokes and risked a near fatal heart attack.

However, the dancer incident was the moment that she realised that this could not go on.

Lovato shared that creating the personal documentary gave her a chance to right her wrongs.

“Talking to people who knew me at a different time in my life was challenging because I wanted to apologize for my behavior,” the Camp Rock actress confessed.

Looking back at her past, the actress recognises “I wasn’t the nicest person to work with at times because I was struggling so much internally, and I was under a lot of pressure.”

This comes after the Grey’s Anatomy star shared in a recent interview that she’s in a “really good place” now and “figuring out” her sound to make her musical comeback.
