“Taylor Swift & Benson Boone Dominate Down Under 🌏🎶: A Shock Takeover of Australia’s Year-End Charts! 🎤🔥”

It’s four years in a row for Taylor Swift, with the U.S. pop icon dominating Australia’s year-end charts once again, according to data published by ARIA

Swift has once more found her way to the top of the ARIA Top 100 Albums Chart for 2024, this time off the back of her massively-successful eleventh album, April’s The Tortured Poets Department. With results undeniably bolstered by her seven local shows as part of the record-setting Eras Tour, Swift is a constant presence in the year-end charts, making up 40% of the top ten.

While The Tortured Poets Department sits at No. 1, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) appears at No. 5, with Lover at No. 7, and Midnights rounding it out at No. 10. Overall, she makes up 11% of the entire Top 100, with original or re-recorded versions of her entire discography (save for her self-titled debut) placed across the top 68 positions. Her 2014 album 1989 doubles up thanks to its original version placing at No. 68.

It’s not a far cry from the results of last year either, where 1989 (Taylor’s Version) reigned supreme and was joined by the likes of The Weeknd, Morgan Wallen, SZA, and Harry Styles. In 2024, the top ten is rounded out by Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard And Soft, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, The Weeknd’s The Highlights, SZA’s SOS, Wallen’s One Thing At A Time, and Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts.

The singles chart, however, belongs to U.S. singer-songwriter Benson Boone, whose “Beautiful Things” spent six weeks at No. 1 and has rarely been absent from the top ten since it first debuted. Boone’s success isn’t limited to Australia, with the track having topped numerous charts globally, and peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” holds the silver medal position, with Carpenter’s “Espresso” closing out the podium finish. Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” round out the year-end singles chart top five, with Eilish’s “Birds Of A Feather” following closely behind. Irish musician Hozier’s “Too Sweet” prevents a clean sweep for American artists, however, with his single hitting No. 8.

Swift’s influence also extends to the Singles Chart, with 2019’s “Cruel Summer” hitting No. 9 off the back of its 2023 viral success and single release. Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers”, which topped the chart last year, also makes a return appearance, albeit relegated to a respectable No. 39.

Of note, however, is the lack of Australian artists that make up the Albums and Singles Charts. In the latter category, just 5% are home-grown, with Vance Joy’s 2013 single “Riptide” leading the charge at No. 24. Cyril’s reimagining of Suzi Quatro’s “Stumblin’ In” can be found at No. 29, while DJ and producer Dom Dolla’s “Saving Up” splits the field at No. 50. The Kid LAROI closes out the local representation with “Nights Like This” featuring at No. 84, and his 2021 Justin Bieber collaboration “Stay” in at No. 96.

The ARIA year-end albums chart, however, boasts only three Australian names – with just one being a studio release. While South Australian veterans Cold Chisel can be found at No. 44 with their 50 Years – The Best Of compilation, so too can INXS’ diamond-certified The Very Best be located down at No. 81. The Kid LAROI is once again the only point of difference, with his debut album – 2023’s The First Time – hitting No. 67.

Everyone loves to get a bonus after working their butts off on a long and stressful project, as it helps you feel appreciated, and who doesn’t like an extra bit of change in their pocket?

Well, it seems one Taylor Swift crew member certainly has a lot to be smiling about, after revealing how the singer shows her appreciation for her staff who made her tour possible.

In a post that has now gone viral on Twitter, a staff member showed a handwritten letter by Taylor Swift thanking them, as well as revealing their bonus.

And another writing “What an amazing human being she is. If only more celebrities and billionaires were like her.”

Fans praised Taylor for being so generous to all of her staff(Pop Base/Twitter)

And for all those who thought this was a one off gesture to just this crew member… well, Swift has shown she is even more generous than it seems.

According to a PEOPLE report from late last year, over the past two years, Swift gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her tour.

This included truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, make-up, wardrobe, physical therapists, and video team.

So, pretty much anyone who ensured the singer was able to bring her best for her fans each and every night she was performing.

So regardless whether your a Swiftie or not… this story has got to put a smile on your face.

UNILAD has contacted Taylor Swift representatives for comment.

Carrie Underwood’s Trump Inauguration Performance: Singer Releases a Statement After Backlash

John Nacion/Getty Images

While everyone is still reeling at the news that Carrie Underwood will be singing at Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the American Idol winner herself has released a statement explaining her decision.

“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood told People. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Carrie Underwood had kept her political views to herself for years, telling The Guardian in 2019, “I try to stay far out of politics if possible, at least in public, because nobody wins. It’s crazy. Everybody tries to sum everything up and put a bow on it, like it’s black and white. And it’s not like that.”

But now that Carrie Underwood has agreed to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration, it’s not a leap to assume that her politics lean right. And to say that some of her fans are disappointed would be a massive understatement. One stan account on Twitter, for one, has already rebranded as a Megan Maroney account. The account formerly known as Carrie Underwood Charts commented, “She disappointed the entire generation z…she was our first country queen…Carrie sales have declined and will be none now she lost the support of lgbtq and poc community who loved her.”

Another stan account, Carrie Underwood UK, tweeted, “While I will always love and support
@carrieunderwood, this account will not be covering her upcoming appearance at Donald Trump’s inauguration nor any other comments/appearances she makes in support of this convicted felon.”

Other fans on Twitter have made similar comments in reaction to the news. “Can’t call for unity when you’re performing for the divider. Shame on you @carrieunderwood you’ve betrayed thousands of your fans,” wrote one. Another person tweeted, “carrie underwood being a trumpie isnt suprising [sic] at all, but it does sting a little.”

The image, shared by the fan account, showcases Chastain in her role as Jolene, a character navigating a decade-long journey across the United States.

Jolene marked Chastain’s feature film debut, where she portrayed a teenage orphan embarking on a ten-year journey across America, experiencing various facets of life, love, and heartbreak. The film is based on a short story by E.L. Doctorow, itself inspired by Dolly Parton’s song “Jolene.”

Chastain’s performance in Jolene was met with critical acclaim, setting the stage for a prolific career in Hollywood. She has since received multiple accolades, including an Academy Award, and is recognized for her versatility and dedication to her craft.

The resurgence of interest in Jolene underscores the lasting impression of Chastain’s early work and the film’s continued relevance. As discussions about the movie circulate online, both longtime fans and new audiences are revisiting her compelling performance, reflecting on the film’s themes and Chastain’s portrayal of a resilient and complex character.

For those interested in exploring more of Chastain’s work, her official Instagram account provides updates and insights into her projects and advocacy.

“Billionaire Taylor Swift 💰🏰: Expanding Her $17.75M Rhode Island Mansion Into a Superstar Fortress! 🌟”

Taylor Swift is celebrating becoming a billionaire by expanding her $17.75 million Rhode Island mansion.

Contractors are planning on building an addition onto the pop star’s oceanfront home in Westerly’s Watch Hill neighborhood, according to a building permit obtained by the Providence Journal Tuesday.

The new wing will feature another bedroom and more bathrooms, and Swift’s existing kitchen also will be getting a makeover.

The new bedroom will be approximately 16 by 24 feet, but it was not specified how many bathrooms will be put in.

The labor and materials for the project will set Swift back an estimated $1.7 million, according to the permit issued last month.

The “Cruel Summer” singer’s 11,000-square-foot cliffside manor — dubbed High Watch or Holiday House —  is located a stone’s throw away from the ritzy Ocean House resort and boasts 700 feet of private beachfront.

Swift’s beachy escape already has eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

The current eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom escape is situated on 5.23 acres featuring manicured gardens, a breathtaking patio and a spanning swimming pool.

Swift, 35, reportedly paid for the house, which has eight cozy fireplaces, in all cash in 2013.

The estate holds a special place in her heart and even inspired her 2020 song “The Last Great American Dynasty,” which is about an American socialite who once lived there, Rebekah Harkness.

“Her name was Rebekah Harkness. And she lived in the house that I ended up buying in Rhode Island. That’s how I learned about her,” Swift said in a Rolling Stone interview in 2020. “But she was a woman who was very, very talked about, and everything she did was scandalous. I found a connection in that.”

The beachy structure has also played backdrop to some of Swift’s star-studded parties over the years.

Last August, her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes were spotted attending one of Swift’s pool parties on the property.

The Grammy winner’s besties Gigi Hadid and Blake Lively, as well as their respective partners, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Reynolds, also went to the summer fete.

Hadid and Lively have been fixtures at Swift’s New England shindigs, having been spotted at several of her famous 4th of July soirées, dubbed “Taymerica.”

Other stars Swift has hosted on Independence Day include Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, Martha Hunt, Selena Gomez, the Haim sisters and more.

Decades after their split, Spears released her memoir The Woman in Me, in which she disclosed she became pregnant with Timberlake’s baby but had an abortion.

“Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young,” she wrote.

“I just thought it would be too much if we had done it when we were supposed to,” Spears told People. “It became this huge thing and I was like, ‘What are we waiting for? We know this is the real thing, why not just do it now?’ That’s why I wanted to sneak and do it our little way.”

During their marriage, Spears and Federline welcomed their sons, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline. But only eight weeks after their second son was born, the mom-of-two filed for divorce from Kevin, citing irreconcilable differences.

“100 percent had preconceived notions, but he was lovely and kind and really welcoming for a person that was just a stranger,” she revealed.

On January 18, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Houston Texans in the first playoff game of the season. During the interview, McAfee played coy and tried to ask if Swift would be in attendance, but it looks like Kelce decided to play coy with his response.

“Is there going to be an aura in that place, a little bit extra? You know what we’re talking about,” McAfee asked.

On January 4, backup singer Jeslyn Gorman shared two photos of Taylor Swift enjoying some downtime on the Eras Tour. The fifth photo in the carousel shows Swift lounging on a boat, soaking up the sun on a boat in a two-piece bathing suit. Another photo shows Swift posing with the group in a black dress while enjoying a night out.

In the caption, Gorman shared some things that she learned in 2024, even working in some Taylor Swift lyrics along the way. “My chosen family is pretty freaking awesome,” she wrote in the caption, capturing the lyrics of her folklore song “the 1”: “We were something, don’t you think so? / Rosé flowing with your chosen family.”

Saying A Final Farewell To The Eras Tour

In another Instagram post, Gorman shared a video montage of highlights from The Eras Tour set to Swift’s track “New Year’s Day.” In the caption, the backup singer admitted, “Every time I’ve tried to put something together, the idea of it being the last has been paralyzing and overwhelming to the point of full avoidance” and confessed to struggling to find the words to express how she was feeling through tears.

“This experience has been more than just a tour for me, more than just a show. These people that I get to call family, the love that we feel on and off stage… ‘we’ will be the only ‘we’ that will ever have been on this beautiful, exhausting, record breaking, joy filled, tour of a lifetime,” she continued, going on to describe the experience as a “blessing.”

“Thank you, God. Long live the magic that was #TheErasTour …holding onto the memories with all of my might,” she concluded. “I hope I never forget it.”
