Red (Taylor's Version) is out, and naturally I am already a mess crying on the floor about my older ex, who I swear I haven't thought about in a while — I SWEAR.
On an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Taylor Swift was asked all about what it's like to re-record and release the album almost 10 years after it first came out.
In particular, Seth asked, “I wonder, if there are people who might think that they’re the ones you were singing about, if it’s easier or far, far worse for them 10 years later.”
Looking at you Gyllenhaal (ALLEGEDLY) 👀
“I haven’t thought about their experience, to be honest,” Taylor replied, smile on her face.
"I'm sure there's nothing they'd rather hear less," Seth teased in response.
When asked if she felt that the experience was cathartic, Taylor said that she thought back to the stress she felt when Red initially came out when she was just 22:
"I was...really sad, because I had actually gone through the stuff that I had sung about. But this time, I've got sunglasses on, a mojito, it's chill this time. It's really nice to be able to put this album out and not be sad, not be taking breaks in between interviews to cry."
Back when Red first came out, Taylor said that she heard from the man who the album was largely about. “He was like, ‘I just listened to the album, and that was a really bittersweet experience for me. It was like going through a photo album.’"
"That was nice," she explained. "Nicer than, like, the ranting, crazy e-mails I got from this one dude. It’s a lot more mature way of looking at a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, & both people got hurt from it — but one of those people happened to be a songwriter.”
“It was really important as I’ve worked with the Trevor Project for more than 10 years, and so I don’t think I would’ve been able to look myself in the mirror had I not said anything." buzzfeed.com/larryfitzmauri…
Daniel Radcliffe's made it no secret that he doesn't stand with J.K. Rowling's anti-trans beliefs.
In June of 2020, the actor and Harry Potter star published an open letter on The Trevor Project's website, stating that "trans women are women."

If you're currently job hunting, chances are you've found yourself at your wit's end of the application process. They can be long, tedious, and often times you don't even get a response back.
Which is probably why this résumé "hack" is currently re-circulating around Twitter.
The hack is called "white wording," and it's a trick designed to outsmart most companies' Applicant Tracking Software. The software is designed to sort through job applications and choose the ones that align best with the job description.

You know Glee — you love Glee.
One of the classic TV show's more memorable (for all the wrong reasons 🥴) characters was glee club director and teacher Will Schuester — or Mr. Schue — who was played by Matthew Morrison.
The episode seemingly boiled Mexican culture down to sombreros, maracas, tacos, and "Juan" jokes. buzzfeed.com/angelicaamarti…
Earlier this week, Prue Leith took to Twitter to announce that the Great British Bake Off's theme for their next episode would be "Mexican week."
Yeah, yikes 😅
It's not that I don't think it's possible to do an episode like this with appreciation and respect for the culture, but I was fairly certain that wasn't the direction #GBBO would be going.
