Charlie Amter Few artists ever have had a year on the scale of Morgan Wallen’s 2023. The crossover country star broke multiple streaming and radio records — such as having his smash “Last Night” become the longest-running solo No. 1 in Billboard Hot 100 history, with 16 weeks atop the chart — all while picking up the millions of new fans that helped sell out shows nationwide.

Taylor Swift’s rep is slamming rumors that the singer and ex Joe Alwyn were married before splitting in April after six years together.Tree Paine spoke out on Thursday when the anonymous Instagram account DeuxMoi claimed that Swift and the British actor, 32, had a “marriage” ceremony in 2020 or 2021.“Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi. There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift did not offer an introduction to “Bigger Than the Whole Sky” when she performed it as a surprise song at her concert Sunday night in Rio de Janeiro. But she didn’t have to — fans implicitly understood her live premiere of the number, arguably the most wrenchingly emotional song in her catalog, as a tribute to Ana Clara Benevides Machado, who died after attending Swift’s previous show at the stadium.Full video of Taylor performing Biggen Than The Whole Sky (right in front of my face like wow) #RioTSTheErasTour pic.twitter.com/q5rNYixG1z Swift had previously expressed her sorrow over the fan’s death in a social media post, and had written that “I’m not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it.” But, clearly, she wanted to sing about that which she could not talk about.

Morgan Wallen was among the top winners at this year’s Billboard Music Awards despite his racism controversy.The country star won a total of 11 categories including top male artist and album, single of the year, top country artist, top streaming songs artist and top country touring artist. During his acceptance speech, he said: “Last awards show I went to we came home empty-handed and this one I don’t have enough hands for them all.”The country star was banned from 2021’s ceremony – among other awards shows – after footage of him using a racial slur surfaced online.

Taylor Swift played ‘Bigger Than The Whole Sky’ live for the first time at the second show of the ‘Eras’ tour in Rio de Janeiro – check it out below.The song comes from Swift’s 2022 album ‘Midnights’ and received its live debut during the staple ‘surprise song’ segment of the three-hour show at the Estádio Nilton Santos in Brazil last night (November 19).The other deep cut performed during the ‘surprise song section’ was ‘Dancing With Our Hands Tied’ from ‘Reputation’, which per Setlist.fm was played for the first time since 2018.Check out the live debut of ‘Bigger Than The Whole Sky’ below.

2024 Grammy nominations were announced.But even as top contenders SZA, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo were already getting fitted for gowns, something was amiss.The fact that the nominees for music’s top prize were being announced before anyone got to chow and cocktail down for Friendsgiving — let alone Thanksgiving — made it feel way too early in the awards season.I mean, Mariah Carey didn’t even have enough time to properly defrost.Add to that the fact that the 2023 Country Music Awards took place just two days before the 2024 Grammy nominations were announced — and you knew that something just ain’t right with music award shows.That trend continued on Sunday night, when the Billboard Music Awards took the pre-Thanksgiving weekend spot long occupied by the American Music Awards — and turned it into one big turkey. (To make matters even weirder, both the BBMAs and the AMAs are owned by the same parent company.)Indeed, while the BBMAs were previously aired on NBC — these awards were relegated to a damn Billboard website.

It was a big night for Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards as they both took the most trophies.
