Today, Taylor Swift‘s sixth studio album — Reputation — has its official release. We’ve been getting teases in the form of several singles (“Look What You Made Me Do,” “Call It What You Want” and “Gorgeous,” among others) for the past few months. Fans have been patiently waiting for three years. And after all those years, as you might imagine, they were …ready for it (get it?!)
So when the album drop did happen, there was chatter (quite a bit of it, in fact!) all over social media. Fans’ questions included: “Which song referenced the singer’s feud with Kanye West...

Suggesting superstitiously that Season 13 of The Voice would be unlucky was a silly gimmick, I thought — until in the premiere, the coaches all passed on my two favorite contestants of the night: Xaris, a teenage folk singer who’s as much of a gem as Jewel, and Odiseas, who returned from his Season 3 tryout with enough star power to light up a constellation. But it was still nice to have Miley Cyrus back on the panel — and not to have to listen to Gwen Stefani pitching female vocalists on joining her team with compelling arguments like, “You’re a girl,...

But when the dust settled on Season 12 of The Voice, when we stopped commenting on how mumble-mouthed a singer Hunter Plake is, groaning before every Mark Isaiah performance, doing shots anytime it was mentioned that Quizz Swanigan is the youngest competitor ever, hoping that Lilli Passero would live up to her Blind Auditions potential, and wondering if it was possible for Carson Daly to appear less engaged and more disingenuous, did Team Alicia’s master showman win?...

Gwen and coach Alicia Keys have a connection in terms of them both coming from the heart. Blake’s relationship with Alicia is as solid as last season. Coach Adam Levine also seems to have a good rapport with both Gwen and Alicia, while the fun competitive bromance between him and Blake is still fun.

The Voice closes out its first week of Blind Auditions with a special third night, which is really just the second half of the second night. This one hour installment of The Voice's Blind Auditions doesn't drastically rock the boat for season 12. Even the customary four chair turn that closes out the episode is nothing revolutionary. The ball is sufficiently kept rolling however in this solid start to the season, no matter how hard Blake and Gwen try to shove their relationship down our throats.

With Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani both serving as coaches on season 12 of The Voice, it's clear that their romantic relationship is already playing a role in their professional rivalry-- it actually seems to have made them more competitive!
When aspiring singer Savannah Leighton delivered a rousing performance of "Unconditionally" during the second night of blind auditions on Tuesday, Shelton was the first coach to turn around -- and was about to be the only one when Stefani swooped in at the last minute.
The competitive drive between the pair didn't go unnoticed by fellow coaches Adam Levine and Alicia Keys. After Stefani went up to hug Leighton -- who burst into tears as they embraced -- Shelton was quick to call foul.

With Gwen Stefani's return to The Voice this season, the singer is facing off against her boyfriend, fellow coach Blake Shelton. However, it's clear from Monday's season 12 premiere that their relationship isn't going to keep them from getting competitive.
The first round of blind auditions were a chance for the coaches to start building their teams, and from the first singer, JChosen, all four coaches -- including Adam Levine and Alicia Keys -- turned their chairs and kicked the night off with a four-way contest for the soulful hopeful.
After the coaches begged, pleaded and all but bribed the 29-year-old singer to join their teams, JChosen surprised everyone by choosing Stefani -- which blew her mind as well. However, the person on their feet clapping for her was Shelton, who couldn't help but be excited for his lady love.

Team Blake, Team Adam, Team Gwen and (after 12 hours of auditions) Team Pharrell have named the 48 artists who will go on to vie for the title of The Voice. In this round, teammates are pitted against each other to perform duets, which will determine whether or not they continue to the Knockouts. Remember, this is when the steal comes into play. Any artist not chosen as a winner of their own Battle can be scooped up by another coach. So, once again, we have coaches vying to work with the best artists.
Joining the coaches to advise the competitors are mega performing/producing artists who rule the music industry today. Gwen will work with Selena Gomez to advise her dueling duo in the first round of Battles, and Pharrell is working with Missy Elliott to advise his first duo.

Here we are, at the fifth and final night of Blind Auditions for The Voice season 9. Going into the final round, Team Adam, Team Gwen, Team Pharrell and Team Blake have 10 artists each. Two of those competing artists are actually duos, but we are going to refer to them in the singular for simplicity's sake going forward. In other words, Pharrell has 11 individuals on his team, but because two of those are a duo, we will say that he has only 10 artists, leaving him room for two more. Same goes for Adam. Make sense? During this final night of Blinds, Gwen, Blake, Pharrell and Adam will have to be prudent about which vocals they hit their buzzer for because they can only add two more artists each.

If you’re even a semi-regular watcher of The Voice Blind Auditions, you probably know the five simple rules for ensuring a better, brighter viewing experience:
1. Don’t get attached to a contestant on the basis of his/her intro package alone — not even if she’s a sweet young woman from Coal City, Wv who tearfully tells the grandparents who raised her that her audition wouldn’t be possible without them.

The 2015 Grammy Award winners have been coming fast and furious for nearly three hours. That's the strange thing about Grammy night. Almost all of the awards are given out beforehand, so the actual telecast features only a dozen awards (give or take) and a wide assortment of performance. Follow along and join the conversation as I live-blog all of those performances, plus all of the awards, even though I have no real opinions on the inevitable winners and losers. It should be fun! 8:00 p.m. Et. "Madam Secretary" and "The Good Wife" will be back next week! 8:00 p.m. Thank you, LL, for reminding me of the things we were talking about after last year's Grammys.

Rumors of a folk legend’s death may get completely exaggerated in the wake of tonight’s installment of The Voice.
I mean, if I hadn’t known better, I might’ve been Googling “Joni Mitchell — still alive?” after No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani started her critique of DaNica Shirey’s “Help Me” cover with by paying lavish tribute to the “Big Yellow Taxi” singer, then somberly declaring, “Joni would’ve liked that”… as if Joni isn’t alive and well and most likely still able to switch on her television set to the NBC affiliate in whatever American city she’s currently residing.

It was the best of mentors, it was the worst of injustices for The Voice‘s final set of Season 7 Knockout Rounds.
On one hand: Can we get a “hip-hip hurrah!” to celebrate the keen insight and serious commitment displayed by megastar Taylor Swift as the Knockouts mentor for all four teams? You might want to shake, shake, shake the sound of her latest, crazy-ubiquitous hit single from your eardrums, but you’ve got to admit a future Voice cycle anchored by her and Pharrell Williams might be the only way Blake Shelton will ever get to take a season off.

The current, ubiquitous single by Taylor Swift, international music superstar and the best guest coach in The Voice‘s seven season history — gay blasphemy coming atcha in 5, 4, 3, 2… — by just a nose over Cher, champions the concept of “shaking it off.”
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break/ And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake/ Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake/ I shake it off, I shake it off
It’s an excellent, albeit simplistically worded, life philosophy, and yet at this moment in my relationship with NBC’s reality singing competition, I just cahhhhhhn’t.

Tonight begins the first of three Knockout Rounds for season 7 of The Voice. We've been through Blind Auditions and Battle Rounds. There has been some blood-letting along the way. Copious tears have fallen as well; tears of joy at being chosen, tears of sorrow at being left at the altar of almost-stardom and tears of exhaustion at having watched every performer live through the experience.
Coaches Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams are assisted in tonight's coaching by powerhouse and multi-Grammy-winning artist Miss Taylor Swift. I, for one, cannot wait 'til things get started tonight. Part of the allure of The Voice is getting to see the real personalities of the coaches as they chat among themselves and as they interact with the contestants. Taylor Swift is somewhat of an enigma to me. She's one of my teenage daughter's favorite artists and, therefore, a role model in my baby's eyes.

Mama said knock you out, goes the L.L. Cool J classic — and that’s exactly what The Voice will aim to do when Knockout Rounds begin Monday (8/7c on NBC).
But as the Season 7 coaches — Pharrell, Gwen, Adam and Blake — prepare to whittle down their teams in head-to-head solo matchups, who’s got the momentum? After all, the Knockout proceedings will whittle each team from eight hopefuls to four (with one Steal added from an opposing coach’s roster) — and that means only 20 of the 32 current artists will proceed to the Live Playoffs.
