Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Scooter Braun. Getty Images (3) Taylor Swift is known to hide a secret message in her songs — and “Cassandra” from The Tortured Poets Department seems to be no different. When Swift, 34, dropped an extended version of her 11th album on Friday, April 19, listeners came away with a big question: Who is Cassandra? Many fans have deduced that the title could be a reference to Greek mythology. Cassandra, the daughter of Priam and Hecuba, displays the gift of prophecy. (Swift has self-identified as a “mastermind,” and some fans have referred to her as a witch or a sorcerer.) Cassandra is cursed by the god Apollo so no one believes her prophecies and she’s seen as a liar, which is also very Swift-coded. Another major part of Cassandra’s myth states that snakes would whisper in her ears, allowing her to tell the future (if you know, you know). “When the truth comes out, it’s quiet / So, they killed Cassandra first ’cause she feared the worst / And tried t...

If you look around the airport, you’ll notice two extremes: people are either dressed to the nines or are decked in the comfiest of comfy clothes — we’re talking oversized sweatpants, hoodies and chunky sneakers. We applaud the people who choose to dress up, whether for business or for personal reasons, but it’s easy to look at them and say, “Wow — as much as I love fashion, that could never be me!” Maybe you’re thinking it would be nice to meet somewhere in the middle; you don’t need to dress like you’re about to meet the president, but you also don’t need to appear as though you just rolled out of bed. If you want to be stylish and ultra-comfortable at the same time, loose midi dresses are a secret life hack! The midi length will keep your legs warm enough if the flight gets chilly, but won’t cause them to overheat like sweatpants sometimes do. Plus, it’s easy to layer a cardigan sweater over the dress for upper body temperature control. You won’t be too hot or too cold in a loose ...

Taylor Swift Photographs by Inez and Vinoodh for TIME Taylor Swift may be one of the best-selling music artists of all time, but she is also a self-proclaimed “cat lady” who is not afraid to express her love for felines through her lyrics. Swift — who is a “cat mom” to Scottish folds Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson and Ragdoll Benjamin Button (named after characters from Grey’s Anatomy , Law & Order: SVU and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , respectively) — is prone to using kitties as metaphors in her music. “Karma is a cat purring in my lap ‘cause it loves me,” Swift sings in her Midnights track “Karma.” ( Mariska Hargitay , who plays Olivia Benson’s namesake on SVU , named her cat Karma in 2023 after Swift’s song.) Moreover, Swift’s three cats have made appearances alongside her in music videos, magazine covers and social media posts throughout her career. The singer’s love of cats even inspired her to appear in Tom Hooper ’s 2019 film adaptation of the Broadway m...
