The lyrics mimic the song's own journey -- a deep cut that was never promoted by her label, but went on to become one of Swift’s most massive cult favorites, and is often considered her best work by critics and fans alike. (On Rolling Stone’s recent industry-voted list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All-Time, it was her top finisher, placing at No. 69.) This Friday (Nov. 12), Swift gets to give the song a proper spotlight as the most-anticipated new track from her Red (Taylor’s Version) re-recording of the 2012 set, via its long-awaited ten-minute version.

I love her and I love that song

On Thursday night, the Brazillian star released “Boys Don’t Cry,” an English-language, electropop earworm with a retro-futuristic vibe à la The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.”
“Sometimes you call me when you’re too drunk, oh God/Then you start telling me I’m the one, I’m not,” she sings. “In your feelings, I can feel it/You’re in your feelings, you won’t admit it/but I thought that we were just having fun.”

Rosalía’s TikTok performance in celebration of her album Motomami is a wild ride. The trippy, campy, strange video is now available to watch on YouTube — and it’s meant to be viewed from a mobile device since the camera spins from a wide view to a vertical view and flips around throughout.
“The contents change orientation, so it is recommended to lock screen orientation in settings and to hold the device with both hands,” a disclaimer reads at the start.
Rosalía begins her performance with “Saoko” as she dances with a crew of Motomamis (and papis) rocking motorcycle helmets. She then heads into a futuristic blue backdrop to sing “Candy” on her own.

Madonna continues to capitalize upon the recent viral success of a remix of “Frozen,” this time tapping New Jersey-based rapper 070 Shake for a haunting reimagination of the hit 1998 single.
Built around the original Sickick remix of the track that became a TikTok hit last year, Shake’s ethereal take on “Frozen” evokes the laid-back flow of Houston’s chopped and screwed scene as she details the sensations of being under the influence during a night out. “Don’t blow my high, don’t calm me down/Don’t text me back, don’t call me now,” she says. “It’s something in the water, I just came by to wash it down.” The remix’s video finds the Queen of Pop and Shake posing in an alleyway before speeding off into the night in a sportscar.
