Taylor’s ex, her vacation and her broken record. We break down the top headliners of festival season. Peggy Gou takes over the cover of Billboard, we run down the TikTok Billboard Top 50 and look back at a past chart topper. Welcome to Billboard News. We’ve got a lot to get into, here’s Three Things You Need To Know about Taylor Swift today.

The records keep breaking, Taylor’s ‘The Tortured Poet’s Department’ became the first album to pass 1 billion Spotify streams in a single week. Oh, we are listening, but is one of the album’s rumored muses doing the same? As the Swifties and public dissect if songs are about Tay’s ex, Joe Alwyn or her fling with 1975, Matty Healy, ET caught up with the singer and asked “did he hear his diss track?” To which he responded, “I haven’t really listened to that much of it, but I’m sure it’s good.” It is good. And can we all stop figuring out who it’s about and just enjoy the music.?I pretend it’s my life. Lights, camera, b*tch smile, and Taylor is apparently smiling on vacation. Travis Kelce’s mom shared on QVC saying her son sent her a pic of them having a couple’s vacation with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid. All I can say to that is double power couple goals. Just invite me next time. Moving on to our latest cover star, Peggy Gou is paving her own way.
