HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES

At the stroke of Midnight, Taylor Swift released a TikTok announcing the 13th track on next month’s album, Midnights. It’s called “Mastermind.” Taylor plans to repeat this for all 13 song titles with the help of a spinning lottery basket. She dubbed this hilarious sketch, “Midnights Mayhem With Me.” Still no 2023 world tour announcement, though.

Kanye West denied he wants to sell his publishing catalog. Billboard magazine reported that Kanye’s price for the entire catalog is $175 million.
