Welcome to Proudy's Daily Podcast. Let's jump right in with
2
00:00:14.929 --> 00:00:16.170
today's podcast.
3
00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:21.320
Matty Healy has declared the 1975's next album is nearly done.
4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.379
The Chocolate Singer revealed earlier this year the group were
5
00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:28.219
working on the follow-up to 2020 to being funny in
6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.760
a foreign language, and he's now offered a promising update
7
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.259
to fans in a surprise video message. Matty and his dad,
8
00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:39.439
Tim Healy, appeared on the big screens at an event
9
00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:44.000
in North Shields on Friday, the 25th of September, 26,
10
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.159
for Sunday for Sammy, a charity in the Northeast of
11
00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:50.869
which the singer is a patron. Thanking those in attendance
12
00:00:50.909 --> 00:00:54.549
for the fundraiser, which featured a performance from Tribute Act
13
00:00:54.829 --> 00:00:58.329
the 1975, Maddie said, I'm trying to finish this album,
14
00:00:58.729 --> 00:01:01.030
I don't know if I'm ever gonna do it, but
15
00:01:01.049 --> 00:01:06.109
I've nearly finished it. Yeah, it's nearly done. Back in February,
16
00:01:06.730 --> 00:01:10.629
The 37-year-old frontman revealed he was keeping busy working on
17
00:01:10.689 --> 00:01:14.750
new music and playing the 2025 dystopian extraction shooter game
18
00:01:14.849 --> 00:01:18.930
Ark Raiders. He revealed on Reddit, Hello I have been
19
00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:22.390
living in the studio, and not sleeping much, happens I
20
00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:25.530
think normally one month a year. And after work playing
21
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.620
Ark Raiders almost religiously. I've never had a game that's
22
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.459
part of my life like an album, or something it
23
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:36.329
has become something I take quite seriously. Would be cool
24
00:01:36.370 --> 00:01:38.989
to play with you guys any suggestions of how to
25
00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:42.030
do it without doxing my gamer tag and just blowing
26
00:01:42.069 --> 00:01:46.890
my shit up. LoveyMX sick. Towards the end of 2025,
27
00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:50.590
Matty said his life will be hectic over the next
28
00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:55.269
two years, telling his Reddit followers, feeling very UNC and
29
00:01:55.329 --> 00:02:00.390
very lucky to be in 1975 ATM. Next two years
30
00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:06.109
looks mental, sick. Matty's TV star mother, Denise Welsh, Previously
31
00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:09.009
revealed she had heard the new material her son's band
32
00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:11.669
has been working on during their downtime from the road.
33
00:02:12.729 --> 00:02:15.340
She was quoted by the Daily Star as saying at
34
00:02:15.349 --> 00:02:20.280
the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards in October, It's fabulous. It's
35
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:24.419
very different, but it's got the DNA of the 1975,
36
00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:28.090
I think you'll love it. Maddie also confirmed the existence
37
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.969
of two albums, one of which is called Dogs. He
38
00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:36.060
told students during AQ Plus' session at Gateshead College in December,
39
00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:39.939
we made two. It might be one, it might be two,
40
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.580
but yeah, we've made two albums. The Love Me Group's manager,
41
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.750
Dirty Hit label boss Jamie Aborn, told the Money Trench podcast,
42
00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:52.289
they are making a record at the moment. I don't
43
00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:54.770
know when it will come out, but they are making one.
44
00:02:55.830 --> 00:02:57.930
I think they've earned the right to take their time.
45
00:02:58.969 --> 00:03:01.969
The world's gonna be listening. so it needs to be right.
46
00:03:10.289 --> 00:03:13.110
Westlife are keen to get Niall Horan to sing with
47
00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:17.000
them on their current tour. The Flying Without Wings hitmakers
48
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.759
recently completed a record-breaking 13-night run at Dublin's Three Arena
49
00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:26.039
as part of their 25th anniversary world tour, and they
50
00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:28.560
are hoping their fellow Irishmen will join them for a
51
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.300
duet at some point in the coming months. Kian Egan
52
00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:35.819
told The Sun on Sunday newspaper of the possibility, it
53
00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:39.659
has never been discussed, but you never know. Niall will
54
00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:41.879
have plenty of date options to choose from if he
55
00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:45.189
does decide to take up the suggestion because Westlife are
56
00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:48.550
on track to play more than 150 concerts on their
57
00:03:48.569 --> 00:03:53.729
current run. Shane Fillon said, We have 150 dates and
58
00:03:53.750 --> 00:03:56.569
it is growing. We don't know how many it is
59
00:03:56.610 --> 00:03:58.930
going to be, but it is going to be more
60
00:03:58.969 --> 00:04:03.150
than 150 for sure. The world of our own group
61
00:04:03.469 --> 00:04:05.629
are trying to keep in the best possible shape for
62
00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:08.590
the concerts, so are taking it easy when it comes
63
00:04:08.629 --> 00:04:13.169
to partying after the shows. Shane said, You keep yourself fit,
64
00:04:13.550 --> 00:04:16.149
you go to the gym, go for a run or surf,
65
00:04:16.389 --> 00:04:18.199
you just want to be in good shape for it.
66
00:04:19.170 --> 00:04:22.509
It is a very physical show. We aren't out drinking
67
00:04:22.649 --> 00:04:26.129
every night, but we still get to enjoy it. We
68
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:28.639
came off stage on the first night with a few
69
00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:33.480
pints of Guinness together. It was a lovely moment. Asked
70
00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:36.540
if they feel fitter now, Shane added, without a doubt.
71
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.850
We are getting older, but we feel the same on stage. Shane,
72
00:04:42.149 --> 00:04:45.269
Kian and bandmate Nicky Byrne feel grateful to have kept
73
00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:49.629
the same fanbase over the years. Shane said, All these
74
00:04:49.689 --> 00:04:52.269
people have been with us since day one and now
75
00:04:52.329 --> 00:04:55.170
they get to relive these 25 years in one show
76
00:04:55.250 --> 00:04:59.050
for two hours. And even though they are all getting older.
77
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.920
the trio-joked fans still throw their underwear on stage at them.
78
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.779
Kian said, We have a B-stage where we get quite
79
00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:10.759
close to the audience. One bra got thrown up, and
80
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.110
before we knew it, it started growing to 10, 14.
81
00:05:15.110 --> 00:05:18.750
It is a bit of fun and nostalgic. Shane added,
82
00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:21.730
We aren't leaning into it too much or the stage
83
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:32.230
would be covered. Beck has paid tribute to Dolly Parton,
84
00:05:32.730 --> 00:05:36.149
who he first met when he was a child. The
85
00:05:36.170 --> 00:05:39.250
56-year-old musician was a big fan of the late country
86
00:05:39.310 --> 00:05:42.290
music icon, who died in August at the age of
87
00:05:42.290 --> 00:05:45.550
80 after a short battle with cancer and revealed they
88
00:05:45.589 --> 00:05:49.410
first crossed paths when he was very young. He told
89
00:05:49.470 --> 00:05:53.500
Joe Wiley on BBC Radio 2, Another person who I
90
00:05:53.540 --> 00:05:56.379
met not through music, but it is timely because she
91
00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:00.060
just passed is Dolly Parton. I met her as a child,
92
00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:03.100
because a friend of my mum was getting married and
93
00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:06.980
they had the reception at Dolly Parton's house. So I
94
00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:10.120
didn't know anybody famous, we lived a very kind of
95
00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:13.959
humble life. I don't even think I'd ever been to
96
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.120
Beverly Hills before. And we walked into her house, and
97
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.459
she could not have been more friendly and hospitable. I
98
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.279
was taken aback because she was being so friendly to
99
00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.779
me and my brother. It was like, does she think
100
00:06:27.819 --> 00:06:31.649
we're somebody else? Because she shouldn't be this nice to us,
101
00:06:32.029 --> 00:06:36.720
but she was. She was just almost over-the-top friendly and welcoming.
102
00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:41.000
In my normal life, there weren't people who were really, like,
103
00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:45.259
that warm and kind and open. So that really struck me.
104
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.639
She had all the biggest stars in Hollywood there at
105
00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:52.620
her house, and she was just focused on us. Beck,
106
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.019
who was raised in Los Angeles, is the son of
107
00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.100
performance artist, musician, actress and writer Bibi Hansen, and musician
108
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.779
David Campbell. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus recently revealed her final conversation
109
00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:10.040
with her late godmother Dolly Parton. Speaking to Apple Music's
110
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:14.189
Zane Lowe, 53, Miley said, The time that we talked,
111
00:07:14.610 --> 00:07:17.209
which was the last time we would talk, it was
112
00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:20.110
actually me telling her about my new record because even
113
00:07:20.129 --> 00:07:22.410
though we are so different, that's what made us so
114
00:07:22.470 --> 00:07:24.910
perfect for each other is that she knew this, and
115
00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:29.480
I know this. The flower's hitmaker thinks Dolly's authenticity is
116
00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:35.029
what drew people to her. Miley, 33, continued, She's known for,
117
00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:38.529
I guess, the faux, the fake, the hair, the makeup,
118
00:07:38.870 --> 00:07:40.689
the show of it, but there's a part of her
119
00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:43.769
that's just what I think everyone gravitates toward, how real
120
00:07:43.810 --> 00:07:46.610
she is and how authentic she is. And there was
121
00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:49.189
a time in my life, I mean, we hit on
122
00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:52.769
it with Hannah Montana, so much of my life's about persona.
123
00:07:53.790 --> 00:07:57.089
The three-time Grammy winner credited the Jolene legend with helping
124
00:07:57.149 --> 00:08:01.069
her navigate life as Hannah Montana in the Disney Channel sitcom,
125
00:08:01.610 --> 00:08:04.629
in which Dolly played Aunt Dolly, the fictional godmother of
126
00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:09.980
Miley Stewart, mirroring their real-life relationship. Miley said, I think
127
00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:11.980
a way that I could look at that as, you
128
00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:14.459
can still have a persona and still be who you are,
129
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:18.870
is because I had Dolly. She added, Sometimes I call
130
00:08:18.930 --> 00:08:21.750
what I do drag because the way that I present myself,
131
00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:24.660
is just someone that is so different from the person
132
00:08:24.730 --> 00:08:28.990
that feeds the tortoise every morning. But again, that person's
133
00:08:29.069 --> 00:08:31.350
inside of me I just kind of have her off.
134
00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:35.029

let's get back to the episode.
140
00:08:53.529 --> 00:08:59.330
Taylor Swift has broken two Spotify records for 2026. The
141
00:08:59.350 --> 00:09:03.879
36-year-old singer-songwriter recently released the life of a showgirl, The Encore,
142
00:09:04.269 --> 00:09:09.799
featuring four new songs, Patient Zero, Cleveland, Pink Clouding and Babylon.
143
00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:13.789
Patient Zero broke the record for the most streamed song
144
00:09:13.830 --> 00:09:17.509
by a female artist in a day in 2026, while
145
00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:20.289
Swift had the most streams out of any female artist
146
00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:24.080
in a day this year, according to Variety. In a
147
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.519
message to fans on Instagram, Taylor explained why she was
148
00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:31.279
releasing the encore album, writing, About a year ago, you
149
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:36.059
guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew
150
00:09:36.100 --> 00:09:39.429
my mind. You gave the life of a showgirl the
151
00:09:39.450 --> 00:09:43.190
biggest first week for an album in history. I took
152
00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:45.960
a trip to Sweden to celebrate with Max and Shellback,
153
00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:50.179
my two collaborators on this album. Really we just wanted
154
00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:52.379
to reflect and take in how grateful we were for
155
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.110
the moment we were in, but there was a studio there,
156
00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:57.529
and we did what we do when we feel anything
157
00:09:57.590 --> 00:10:01.320
at all, we wrote more songs. I hope you love them,
158
00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.120
because they were born out of pure gratitude for your
159
00:10:04.179 --> 00:10:08.539
exuberance for and celebration of the album we made. Meanwhile,
160
00:10:09.019 --> 00:10:12.409
Swift declares new husband Travis Kelce, who she married in
161
00:10:12.429 --> 00:10:15.330
July that love of her life in New Song Cleveland.
162
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.399
which is named after the Kansas City Chiefs' tight ends
163
00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:23.570
home city. She sings, She's not as hot as she was,
164
00:10:24.129 --> 00:10:25.950
but she was only a four as she was never
165
00:10:25.970 --> 00:10:29.009
a girl's girl, she was just a, and with all
166
00:10:29.029 --> 00:10:33.080
of that money, why's she dressed like trash? When she smiles,
167
00:10:33.289 --> 00:10:37.419
it's annoying, and have you seen her stumbling clumsily? Would
168
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.580
you even call that dancing? And later, she addresses her
169
00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:46.090
love for Travis. She sings, something we all can agree on,
170
00:10:46.269 --> 00:10:49.750
but my baby likes what he likes. He already took
171
00:10:49.789 --> 00:10:52.759
me to Cleveland and showed me the heights, so hate
172
00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:54.879
all you like, this is the love of my life.
173
00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:58.519
The bridge to the song adds, you only need to
174
00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:01.879
find one person in this entire world who doesn't find
175
00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:05.639
you completely insufferable, and I have an important announcement to
176
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.529
make I found mine. Patient Zero sees Taylor offering a
177
00:11:09.590 --> 00:11:12.879
shoulder to cry on for an ex's new partner. prompting
178
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.029
fans to speculate she is referencing the support she offered
179
00:11:16.070 --> 00:11:18.690
Sophie Turner in the wake of her split from husband
180
00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:23.529
Joe Jonas in 2023. Pink Clouding sees Taylor regret the
181
00:11:23.590 --> 00:11:28.440
way she treated a good former partner. She sings, years later,
182
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.419
I still wonder how to tell you sorry I didn't
183
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.519
wanna let you down so I left you up there
184
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.019
on a pink cloud. And in Babylon, Taylor reflects on
185
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.289
hindsight in love and lamenting missing all the best parts
186
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.799
of a past relationship. She sings, you never knew that
187
00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:47.419
it was Babylon till it was gone.
188
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.919
Well, that's about it for today's daily podcast. Just like

1
00:00:10.369 --> 00:00:14.869
Welcome to Proudy's Daily Podcast. Let's jump right in with
2
00:00:14.929 --> 00:00:16.170
today's podcast.
3
00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:21.320
Matty Healy has declared the 1975's next album is nearly done.
4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.379
The Chocolate Singer revealed earlier this year the group were
5
00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:28.219
working on the follow-up to 2020 to being funny in
6
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:31.760
a foreign language, and he's now offered a promising update
7
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.259
to fans in a surprise video message. Matty and his dad,
8
00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:39.439
Tim Healy, appeared on the big screens at an event
9
00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:44.000
in North Shields on Friday, the 25th of September, 26,
10
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.159
for Sunday for Sammy, a charity in the Northeast of
11
00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:50.869
which the singer is a patron. Thanking those in attendance
12
00:00:50.909 --> 00:00:54.549
for the fundraiser, which featured a performance from Tribute Act
13
00:00:54.829 --> 00:00:58.329
the 1975, Maddie said, I'm trying to finish this album,
14
00:00:58.729 --> 00:01:01.030
I don't know if I'm ever gonna do it, but
15
00:01:01.049 --> 00:01:06.109
I've nearly finished it. Yeah, it's nearly done. Back in February,
16
00:01:06.730 --> 00:01:10.629
The 37-year-old frontman revealed he was keeping busy working on
17
00:01:10.689 --> 00:01:14.750
new music and playing the 2025 dystopian extraction shooter game
18
00:01:14.849 --> 00:01:18.930
Ark Raiders. He revealed on Reddit, Hello I have been
19
00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:22.390
living in the studio, and not sleeping much, happens I
20
00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:25.530
think normally one month a year. And after work playing
21
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.620
Ark Raiders almost religiously. I've never had a game that's
22
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.459
part of my life like an album, or something it
23
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:36.329
has become something I take quite seriously. Would be cool
24
00:01:36.370 --> 00:01:38.989
to play with you guys any suggestions of how to
25
00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:42.030
do it without doxing my gamer tag and just blowing
26
00:01:42.069 --> 00:01:46.890
my shit up. LoveyMX sick. Towards the end of 2025,
27
00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:50.590
Matty said his life will be hectic over the next
28
00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:55.269
two years, telling his Reddit followers, feeling very UNC and
29
00:01:55.329 --> 00:02:00.390
very lucky to be in 1975 ATM. Next two years
30
00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:06.109
looks mental, sick. Matty's TV star mother, Denise Welsh, Previously
31
00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:09.009
revealed she had heard the new material her son's band
32
00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:11.669
has been working on during their downtime from the road.
33
00:02:12.729 --> 00:02:15.340
She was quoted by the Daily Star as saying at
34
00:02:15.349 --> 00:02:20.280
the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards in October, It's fabulous. It's
35
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:24.419
very different, but it's got the DNA of the 1975,
36
00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:28.090
I think you'll love it. Maddie also confirmed the existence
37
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.969
of two albums, one of which is called Dogs. He
38
00:02:32.030 --> 00:02:36.060
told students during AQ Plus' session at Gateshead College in December,
39
00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:39.939
we made two. It might be one, it might be two,
40
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.580
but yeah, we've made two albums. The Love Me Group's manager,
41
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.750
Dirty Hit label boss Jamie Aborn, told the Money Trench podcast,
42
00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:52.289
they are making a record at the moment. I don't
43
00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:54.770
know when it will come out, but they are making one.
44
00:02:55.830 --> 00:02:57.930
I think they've earned the right to take their time.
45
00:02:58.969 --> 00:03:01.969
The world's gonna be listening. so it needs to be right.
46
00:03:10.289 --> 00:03:13.110
Westlife are keen to get Niall Horan to sing with
47
00:03:13.150 --> 00:03:17.000
them on their current tour. The Flying Without Wings hitmakers
48
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.759
recently completed a record-breaking 13-night run at Dublin's Three Arena
49
00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:26.039
as part of their 25th anniversary world tour, and they
50
00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:28.560
are hoping their fellow Irishmen will join them for a
51
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.300
duet at some point in the coming months. Kian Egan
52
00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:35.819
told The Sun on Sunday newspaper of the possibility, it
53
00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:39.659
has never been discussed, but you never know. Niall will
54
00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:41.879
have plenty of date options to choose from if he
55
00:03:41.930 --> 00:03:45.189
does decide to take up the suggestion because Westlife are
56
00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:48.550
on track to play more than 150 concerts on their
57
00:03:48.569 --> 00:03:53.729
current run. Shane Fillon said, We have 150 dates and
58
00:03:53.750 --> 00:03:56.569
it is growing. We don't know how many it is
59
00:03:56.610 --> 00:03:58.930
going to be, but it is going to be more
60
00:03:58.969 --> 00:04:03.150
than 150 for sure. The world of our own group
61
00:04:03.469 --> 00:04:05.629
are trying to keep in the best possible shape for
62
00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:08.590
the concerts, so are taking it easy when it comes
63
00:04:08.629 --> 00:04:13.169
to partying after the shows. Shane said, You keep yourself fit,
64
00:04:13.550 --> 00:04:16.149
you go to the gym, go for a run or surf,
65
00:04:16.389 --> 00:04:18.199
you just want to be in good shape for it.
66
00:04:19.170 --> 00:04:22.509
It is a very physical show. We aren't out drinking
67
00:04:22.649 --> 00:04:26.129
every night, but we still get to enjoy it. We
68
00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:28.639
came off stage on the first night with a few
69
00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:33.480
pints of Guinness together. It was a lovely moment. Asked
70
00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:36.540
if they feel fitter now, Shane added, without a doubt.
71
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.850
We are getting older, but we feel the same on stage. Shane,
72
00:04:42.149 --> 00:04:45.269
Kian and bandmate Nicky Byrne feel grateful to have kept
73
00:04:45.310 --> 00:04:49.629
the same fanbase over the years. Shane said, All these
74
00:04:49.689 --> 00:04:52.269
people have been with us since day one and now
75
00:04:52.329 --> 00:04:55.170
they get to relive these 25 years in one show
76
00:04:55.250 --> 00:04:59.050
for two hours. And even though they are all getting older.
77
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.920
the trio-joked fans still throw their underwear on stage at them.
78
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.779
Kian said, We have a B-stage where we get quite
79
00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:10.759
close to the audience. One bra got thrown up, and
80
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.110
before we knew it, it started growing to 10, 14.
81
00:05:15.110 --> 00:05:18.750
It is a bit of fun and nostalgic. Shane added,
82
00:05:19.209 --> 00:05:21.730
We aren't leaning into it too much or the stage
83
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:32.230
would be covered. Beck has paid tribute to Dolly Parton,
84
00:05:32.730 --> 00:05:36.149
who he first met when he was a child. The
85
00:05:36.170 --> 00:05:39.250
56-year-old musician was a big fan of the late country
86
00:05:39.310 --> 00:05:42.290
music icon, who died in August at the age of
87
00:05:42.290 --> 00:05:45.550
80 after a short battle with cancer and revealed they
88
00:05:45.589 --> 00:05:49.410
first crossed paths when he was very young. He told
89
00:05:49.470 --> 00:05:53.500
Joe Wiley on BBC Radio 2, Another person who I
90
00:05:53.540 --> 00:05:56.379
met not through music, but it is timely because she
91
00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:00.060
just passed is Dolly Parton. I met her as a child,
92
00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:03.100
because a friend of my mum was getting married and
93
00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:06.980
they had the reception at Dolly Parton's house. So I
94
00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:10.120
didn't know anybody famous, we lived a very kind of
95
00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:13.959
humble life. I don't even think I'd ever been to
96
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.120
Beverly Hills before. And we walked into her house, and
97
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:21.459
she could not have been more friendly and hospitable. I
98
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.279
was taken aback because she was being so friendly to
99
00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.779
me and my brother. It was like, does she think
100
00:06:27.819 --> 00:06:31.649
we're somebody else? Because she shouldn't be this nice to us,
101
00:06:32.029 --> 00:06:36.720
but she was. She was just almost over-the-top friendly and welcoming.
102
00:06:37.779 --> 00:06:41.000
In my normal life, there weren't people who were really, like,
103
00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:45.259
that warm and kind and open. So that really struck me.
104
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.639
She had all the biggest stars in Hollywood there at
105
00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:52.620
her house, and she was just focused on us. Beck,
106
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.019
who was raised in Los Angeles, is the son of
107
00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.100
performance artist, musician, actress and writer Bibi Hansen, and musician
108
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.779
David Campbell. Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus recently revealed her final conversation
109
00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:10.040
with her late godmother Dolly Parton. Speaking to Apple Music's
110
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:14.189
Zane Lowe, 53, Miley said, The time that we talked,
111
00:07:14.610 --> 00:07:17.209
which was the last time we would talk, it was
112
00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:20.110
actually me telling her about my new record because even
113
00:07:20.129 --> 00:07:22.410
though we are so different, that's what made us so
114
00:07:22.470 --> 00:07:24.910
perfect for each other is that she knew this, and
115
00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:29.480
I know this. The flower's hitmaker thinks Dolly's authenticity is
116
00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:35.029
what drew people to her. Miley, 33, continued, She's known for,
117
00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:38.529
I guess, the faux, the fake, the hair, the makeup,
118
00:07:38.870 --> 00:07:40.689
the show of it, but there's a part of her
119
00:07:40.709 --> 00:07:43.769
that's just what I think everyone gravitates toward, how real
120
00:07:43.810 --> 00:07:46.610
she is and how authentic she is. And there was
121
00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:49.189
a time in my life, I mean, we hit on
122
00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:52.769
it with Hannah Montana, so much of my life's about persona.
123
00:07:53.790 --> 00:07:57.089
The three-time Grammy winner credited the Jolene legend with helping
124
00:07:57.149 --> 00:08:01.069
her navigate life as Hannah Montana in the Disney Channel sitcom,
125
00:08:01.610 --> 00:08:04.629
in which Dolly played Aunt Dolly, the fictional godmother of
126
00:08:04.689 --> 00:08:09.980
Miley Stewart, mirroring their real-life relationship. Miley said, I think
127
00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:11.980
a way that I could look at that as, you
128
00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:14.459
can still have a persona and still be who you are,
129
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:18.870
is because I had Dolly. She added, Sometimes I call
130
00:08:18.930 --> 00:08:21.750
what I do drag because the way that I present myself,
131
00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:24.660
is just someone that is so different from the person
132
00:08:24.730 --> 00:08:28.990
that feeds the tortoise every morning. But again, that person's
133
00:08:29.069 --> 00:08:31.350
inside of me I just kind of have her off.
134
00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:35.029

00:08:53.529 --> 00:08:59.330
Taylor Swift has broken two Spotify records for 2026. The
141
00:08:59.350 --> 00:09:03.879
36-year-old singer-songwriter recently released the life of a showgirl, The Encore,
142
00:09:04.269 --> 00:09:09.799
featuring four new songs, Patient Zero, Cleveland, Pink Clouding and Babylon.
143
00:09:10.850 --> 00:09:13.789
Patient Zero broke the record for the most streamed song
144
00:09:13.830 --> 00:09:17.509
by a female artist in a day in 2026, while
145
00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:20.289
Swift had the most streams out of any female artist
146
00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:24.080
in a day this year, according to Variety. In a
147
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.519
message to fans on Instagram, Taylor explained why she was
148
00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:31.279
releasing the encore album, writing, About a year ago, you
149
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:36.059
guys did a truly unfathomable thing. Something that completely blew
150
00:09:36.100 --> 00:09:39.429
my mind. You gave the life of a showgirl the
151
00:09:39.450 --> 00:09:43.190
biggest first week for an album in history. I took
152
00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:45.960
a trip to Sweden to celebrate with Max and Shellback,
153
00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:50.179
my two collaborators on this album. Really we just wanted
154
00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:52.379
to reflect and take in how grateful we were for
155
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.110
the moment we were in, but there was a studio there,
156
00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:57.529
and we did what we do when we feel anything
157
00:09:57.590 --> 00:10:01.320
at all, we wrote more songs. I hope you love them,
158
00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:04.120
because they were born out of pure gratitude for your
159
00:10:04.179 --> 00:10:08.539
exuberance for and celebration of the album we made. Meanwhile,
160
00:10:09.019 --> 00:10:12.409
Swift declares new husband Travis Kelce, who she married in
161
00:10:12.429 --> 00:10:15.330
July that love of her life in New Song Cleveland.
162
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.399
which is named after the Kansas City Chiefs' tight ends
163
00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:23.570
home city. She sings, She's not as hot as she was,
164
00:10:24.129 --> 00:10:25.950
but she was only a four as she was never
165
00:10:25.970 --> 00:10:29.009
a girl's girl, she was just a, and with all
166
00:10:29.029 --> 00:10:33.080
of that money, why's she dressed like trash? When she smiles,
167
00:10:33.289 --> 00:10:37.419
it's annoying, and have you seen her stumbling clumsily? Would
168
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.580
you even call that dancing? And later, she addresses her
169
00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:46.090
love for Travis. She sings, something we all can agree on,
170
00:10:46.269 --> 00:10:49.750
but my baby likes what he likes. He already took
171
00:10:49.789 --> 00:10:52.759
me to Cleveland and showed me the heights, so hate
172
00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:54.879
all you like, this is the love of my life.
173
00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:58.519
The bridge to the song adds, you only need to
174
00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:01.879
find one person in this entire world who doesn't find
175
00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:05.639
you completely insufferable, and I have an important announcement to
176
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.529
make I found mine. Patient Zero sees Taylor offering a
177
00:11:09.590 --> 00:11:12.879
shoulder to cry on for an ex's new partner. prompting
178
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.029
fans to speculate she is referencing the support she offered
179
00:11:16.070 --> 00:11:18.690
Sophie Turner in the wake of her split from husband
180
00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:23.529
Joe Jonas in 2023. Pink Clouding sees Taylor regret the
181
00:11:23.590 --> 00:11:28.440
way she treated a good former partner. She sings, years later,
182
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.419
I still wonder how to tell you sorry I didn't
183
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.519
wanna let you down so I left you up there
184
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:38.019
on a pink cloud. And in Babylon, Taylor reflects on
185
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.289
hindsight in love and lamenting missing all the best parts
186
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.799
of a past relationship. She sings, you never knew that
187
00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:47.419
it was Babylon till it was gone.
188
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:51.919
