Taylor Swift‘s “Cardigan” is one of the most interesting No. 1 hits to come out in the past few years. While she’s a musical genius, Swift did not create the tune on her own. She revealed how the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic inspired her to work with a rock star. The “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” singer explained why “Cardigan” was different from some of her earlier music.
Taylor Swift’s ‘Cardigan’ was partially the result of self care
Swift has collaborated with numerous notable artists, including Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Calvin Harris, Shawn Mendes, and others. Several songs from her album Folklore were co-written by the rock star Aaron Dessner from the band The National. During a 2020 interview with Rolling Stone, Swift said she was a fan of The National. She discussed how she and Dessner created her song “Cardigan.”

Earlier this year, The National superfan, David Letterman, said that there is “nobody cooler” than the band’s frontman, Matt Berninger.

Arriving as both a podcast and a YouTube video, the chat begins with Letterman interviewing Berninger, but soon develops into a full-fledged conversation, with both men sharing stories from their respective time in the spotlight. Letterman talks a bit about seeing The National live this past year, and praises the band’s tightness. Then, the two discuss the band’s 2023 releases: First Two Pages of Frankenstein and Laugh Track.

David Letterman has made his love for Warren Zevon and The National very clear, declaring that both artists ought to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and that he wishes he “could be Matt Berninger.”
Sitting down for a YouTube conversation with Barbara Gaines and Mary Barclay — longtime colleagues from the Late Show days — the 70-year-old television icon shared some of his thoughts on the 2023 inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, starting with his disappointment over the snubbing of Zevon.
“Warren Zevon was on the ballot for the first time, and was not voted in,” he explained. “I will say that I’m disappointed. I’m not angry, because I would’ve been surprised had it gone the other way. I think to be angry would’ve been 30 years ago, when he should’ve been inducted.” Zevon currently sits at No. 2 on Consequence‘s...

Carriage disputes are a fairly common occurrence in the television industry. As companies who own TV stations try to maximize their value in an increasingly digital world, pay-tv distributors with fewer and fewer customers are trying to lower the amount they have to pay to keep those stations on TV. When the two sides clash over how much distributors should be doling out for the privilege of carrying a channel, the disagreement can lead to channels being dark for weeks.
It’s much less frequent that a station owner simply decides to shut down a group of channels they own, but that’s exactly what Sinclair Broadcasting Group (Sbg) has decided to do. According to TVNewsCheck, Sinclair is shuttering news operations for five local channels it owns in as many markets; Wgfl in Gainesville, Fla.; Kpth in Sioux City, Iowa; Kptm in Omaha, Neb.; Wnwo Toledo, Ohio; and Ktvl in Medford,...

"Oh, is that a Coke?!" Greta Gerwig exclaims. A tinkering tray carrying -- yup -- a glass of Coca-Cola has just arrived to her hotel suite. I'm having a side conversation with the actress Saoirse Ronan about their new film, Lady Bird, as Gerwig gleefully intercepts the Coke and takes a sip. "Oh god. That tastes so good."
"She don't give a sh*t about the movie right now," Ronan throws a thumb in Gerwig's direction, drawing her attention. "He was saying lovely things about the film and you're like, 'Mmm, fizzy! Bubbly!'"
Lady Bird, which Gerwig wrote and with which she makes her directorial debut, centers on high school senior Christine McPherson, self-nicknamed Lady Bird, as she navigates Catholic school boys, college applications and mother-daughter drama in circa 2003 Sacramento. The irony is Gerwig gives such a sh*t about the film that it's the first thing anyone mentions about working with her. Beanie Feldstein, who co-stars...

According to her husband, Sherri Papini‘s face was covered in bruises ranging from yellow to black because of repeated beatings. The bridge of her nose was broken. She was branded, and her long blond hair was chopped off.
When private investigator Bill Garcia heard Keith’s account of seeing his wife Sherri for the first time after her release by captors, Garcia thought immediately the abduction was the work of sex traffickers.
“I literally got the chills. I know who it is, I know who did this,” Gracia, who worked with Papini’s family while Sherri was missing, tells People.

Even broadcast journalists live in Zootopia.
Celebrated Canadian news anchor Peter Mansbridge makes an appearance in the upcoming Disney film Zootopia, and he told us about playing a slightly different version of himself for the film. In this exclusive interview, we hear from the man you know from CBC News and The National, as he talks about his role as Peter Moosebridge, who also happens to be a news anchor in the film.
In Zootopia, there are no human beings. Only animals occupy this world, and it's amazing to see the kinds of relationships that are made between all of the different species. Their world is as modern as ours, and they encounter all the same kinds of predicaments, as Mansbridge says, we've never imagined a society like this before.
The Canadian broadcaster expresses how he never expected to be a part of an animated film, but is ecstatic to be a part of Zootopia.

It's not all Americana here at TVOvermind. Yours truly hails from Canada – Toronto to be exact – so when we got an invitation to attend CBC's 2010 Upfront presentation, one of our contributing writers was off and running to the red carpet. Sarah tells me that she had a great time speaking with some of the stars and snapping photos. We've pulled together some red carpet pics and snippets from her interviews below. I also suspect she made an enemy out of figure skater Kurt Browning, but I'm hoping he forgets all about that.

VANCOUVER -- Former Canadian Broadcasting Corp. news anchor Knowlton Nash on Thursday joined the chorus of disapproval against Canada's public broadcaster for bumping its flagship newscast to make way for an ABC reality show. Nash, a Canadian icon who anchored the CBC's The National newscast for 10 years through 1992, slammed the CBC for moving its 10 p.m. The National telecast to 11 p.m. in Ontario and Quebec this summer to simulcast ABC's The One: Making a Music Star on Tuesday nights beginning July 18. "If the CBC really wants reality TV, let people get the reality of what's happening in the world by turning on 'The National' at 10 p.m. every night," Nash, who has Parkinson's disease, said during a Toronto speech to the Canadian Journalism Federation read by his wife, Lorraine Thomson.
