Taylor Swift is one of only four recording artists to win the Grammy for Album of the Year three times, along with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon. Will she be the first to win it four times?

Midnights, Swift’s 10th studio album, is up for Album of the Year at the 2024 Grammys. Her competition in the category includes The Record by boygenius, Guts by Olivia Rodrigo, Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd by Lana Del Rey, and SOS by SZA (who leads all artists with nine nominations). Swift, who previously took home Album of the Year for Fearless, 1989, and Folklore, wasn’t done there: she’s eligible to win in five other categories.

Here’s the full list:

-Album of the Year for Midnights
-Record of the Year for “Anti-Hero”
-Song of the Year for “Anti-Hero”
-Best Pop Solo Performance for “Anti-Hero”
-Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Karma” ft. Ice Spice
-Best Pop Vocal Album for Midnights

It’s unknown at this time if Swift will perform at the Grammys — or whether she’ll watch it at home with her cats, like the rest of us.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards air on CBS and Paramount+ on February 4, 2024. You can find the full list of nominations here.

R&B’s golden child, SZA, is the star of today. The singer is the most nominated artist at the ceremony, with nine total nominations, including four nominations in R&B and one in rap. What are the R&B Grammy nominations for 2024?

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

The Grammy Awards, despite some past controversies, remain the biggest night in music. While that night is still some months away, today, we learn which artists and works will compete for the most prestigious awards in music.

Works published between October 1, 2022, and September 15, 2023, are eligible to for nomination, while rule changes mean that fewer artists/works will be nominated for the “Big Four” awards. There will, however, be new categories for emerging genres.

Another decision sure to bring controversy is that AI songs have been declared eligible — but only for songwriting awards. Now, that doesn’t mean that one will be nominated, although one was submitted. But stranger things have happened (like Beyoncé being snubbed for Album of the Year — twice!).

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason, Jr. made a statement to clear up confusion about AI after a public backlash from fans online, saying, “I take this [AI] stuff very seriously. It’s all complicated, and it’s moving really, really quickly. I’m sure things are going to continue to have to evolve and change. But please, please, do not be confused. The Academy is here to support and advocate and protect and represent human artists, and human creators, period.”

To find out who wins, you’ll have to wait until February 4, 2024, when the ceremony airs. For now, though:

Check out the full list of 2024 Grammy nominees below. The list will be updated as nominations are revealed.

Music’s biggest night, the Grammys, is nearly here. Each year, entertainer’s biggest names gather to bask in their creative greatest. While every ceremony offers its own twists and turns, the 2024 Grammys will undoubtedly be the most interesting, given the expansion of who’s eligible (hello, AI creators) and award categories. So, how many Grammy Award categories are there for 2024?

In total, there are 98 categories for the 2024 Grammy Awards. The most coveted, of course, is Album Of The Year, followed by Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best New Artist. In June, the organization announced that in the “Big Four” categories, they’ve reduced the total nominees in the respective categories to eight from ten. Another significant change to the categories for the 2024 Grammy Awards includes the addition of three new slots — Best African Music Performance, Best Alternative Jazz Album, and Best Pop Dance Recording.

After CBS filled its Fall TV schedule gap by airing episodes of Yellowstone, the network quickly realized that viewers will show up in droves for the Taylor Sheridan western, so why not keep that train going?

According to Deadline, CBS will air the first two episodes of the latest Sheridan series, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, which takes a deep dive into the historical figure who served as America’s first Black marshal. Lawmen only just premiered early this week on Paramount+, but that was enough for Paramount Global to realize the show could also hit with network audiences.

In what will be an entire night of Taylor Sheridan, the first two episodes of Lawmen: Bass Reeves will air back-to-back on CBS at 9 PM EST on Sunday, November 12 following that evening’s episode of Yellowstone. As of this writing, there are no plans to air future episodes of Lawmen, which will exclusively stream on Paramount+.

Here’s the official synopsis:

From executive producers Taylor Sheridan and David Oyelowo comes the untold story of the most legendary lawman in the Old West: Bass Reeves. Lawmen: Bass Reeves follows the journey of Reeves (Oyelowo) and his rise from enslavement to law enforcement as the first Black U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi. Despite arresting over 3,000 outlaws during the course of his career, the weight of the badge was heavy, and he wrestled with its moral and spiritual cost to his beloved family.

Lawmen: Bass Reeves streams new episodes Sundays on Paramount+.

Our long nightmare is over: movie stars can appear on late-night shows again, now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over. It’s been too long since we’ve seen one of the Jonas Brothers (not Joe) play beer pong with Jimmy Fallon.

Speaking of, Brie Larson will appear on Friday’s episode of The Tonight Show, where she’ll promote The Marvels (fellow MCU star Tom Hiddleston will also be there for the Loki season two finale). The Oscar-winning actress is always fun in interviews, including a resurfaced one from 2016.

During a video discussion with W magazine, Larson was asked to name her favorite sex scene in a movie. Instead, she went with her favorite “love scene,” which is from Reds. “I think that’s just one of my favorite love stories in general,” the Room star said about the 1981 drama starring Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, and Jack Nicholson that was nominated for Best Picture. (There’s no sex scene in Reds, per se, only implied sex on the beach.)

Larson continued, “The part that kills me every time is when they see each other on the train. It makes me sob and sob and sob every time. And it’s so interesting because it really is an epic. It’s such a long film, but it’s a movie I can just watch on a loop. There’s nothing that feels like it’s three hours.”

Kind of like another, more recent three hour movie.

Rolling Loud is returning to Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California from March 15-17, 2024. The 2023 festival was headlined by Future, Playboi Carti, and Travis Scott, but the three-day event had plenty to offer and left a lasting impression on Uproxx’s Aaron Williams. Which is to say, you don’t want to miss your opportunity to buy tickets to Rolling Loud California, and that’s where we come in. Below is all the information we have (so far).

How To Buy Tickets To Rolling Loud California

Rolling Loud’s presale began on October 19, and the festival confirmed that the presale had sold out on Thursday, November 9. You can join the waitlist here.

How Much Are Tickets?

As of right now, pre-sale ticket prices are listed on Rolling Loud’s website as follows (before factoring in taxes and fees): General admission tickets were $299, GA+ tickets were $449, VIP tickets were $599, and VIP Munchies tickets were $799. But pre-sale ticketing plays by different rules than the general sale, and it’s still unclear when tickets will become available to the public. Again, a waitlist option is available.

When Does The Rolling Loud California 2024 Lineup Come Out?

The Rolling Loud California 2023 lineup was announced last November, so the 2024 lineup could very well drop as early as next week. The festival’s social media accounts teased it this week, confirming that the lineup will drop at some point this month.

Chet Hanks, son of Tom (obviously), didn’t sit idly by against an alleged intruder. Chet, of course, has made headlines in the past for his fielding of extremely awkward talk show moments. He’s also known to be confrontational with words, but this is altogether different territory and quite a scary situation. The resulting physical chaos led to a cop with a broken leg.

That last detail seems to be collateral damage in a situation first reported by TMZ. The alleged intruder is now in police custody with the officer in question landing in the hospital, too. It sounds like Chet was the only one who didn’t require medical attention here after he went in with “bare fists” against the burglary defendant in a case that’s now in the hands of the DA. Via TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell us … before authorities arrived early Monday morning, Tom Hanks’ son punched the 42-year-old suspect after finding him attempting to break in around 3:00 AM. When L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies got on scene they tried to slap cuffs on the man, but he kept fighting.

Eventually, they subdued him enough to get cuffs on him … but while leading him to the car, the guy fell backward onto one of the deputies, who ended up with a broken leg!!!

Fortunately, Chet emerged completely “unscathed” in this conflict, although surely, he must be rattled to have endured this experience.

“Standards” singer Keke Palmer has filed a restraining order against her ex, Darius Jackson. Unfortunately, things aren’t what they appear to be on the surface. According to US Weekly, yesterday (November 9), Palmed filed for a temporary restraining order and full custody against Jackson, alleging past domestic violence incidents. In stills shared online, dated February 13, 2022, Jackson appears to be aggressively grabbing Palmer.

Jackson’s brother, Insecure actor Sarunas Jackson, chimed in with a post online, writing, “The most disgusting, vile, abusive, manipulative persona I have EVER encountered. Y’all will see. Just send positive energy to the babies. Any child in the middle of something like this does not deserve it at all. Wow. So damn sad.” Sarunas later deleted his remarks.

In response, Palmer’s mother, Sharon, blasts him for not intervening. “I went to Sarunas over a year ago and told him that his brother was abusive to my daughter, and he said, ‘Well, I used to be like that too.’ So now he’s posting on Twitter like he’s this special guy when we know he’s the biggest f*ckboy in Hollywood; he’s disrespectful to women just like his brother,” alleged Sharon.

Palmer lived under the public’s watchful eyes for over fifteen years. In the last few years alone, onlookers have had a front-row seat to her blossoming into womanhood. In December 2022, she revealed her pregnancy with her and her then-boyfriend Darius Jackson’s first child on Saturday Night Live. Stars such as Nicki Minaj welcomed her into motherhood with open arms.

The couple began dating in 2021. They welcomed their son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson, in February 2023. But by the summer of 2023, rumors began circulating that the pair had faced some difficulties in their relationship, causing them to split. The strain spilled over to social media in July when Jackson took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize Palmer for her behavior and wardrobe while attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency.

Loki Season 2 delivered an epic season finale on par with Season 1’s devastating reveal of He Who Remains, who once again made an appearance. However, this time around, the finale did not tease a new season of Loki, which has fans wondering if there will be a Season 3.

As of this writing, the answer is up in the air. Back in October, Loki executive producer Kevin Wright gave two answers to the question of whether the series will go on for more seasons.

While talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Wright opined on the possibility of Loki continuing especially considering Marvel’s pivot away from six-episode Disney+ mini-series to shows that could last for multiple seasons.

“How do we do these efficiently, but also so that we can have seasons three, four, five … ?” Wright said. “The whole idea of long form is you want these to be sustaining, and I think we’re starting to find that in Loki and deliver on it. So I would certainly love to keep telling stories in this little corner of the universe we’ve made.”

Obviously, that last line leaves the door open for Loki Season 3. However, Wright also said the following to Collider, and this quote is a little more ambiguous.

“[Season 2] was similar to Season 1 in we wanted to tell this story and tell it well, but even in Season 1, we obviously were thinking about where we were going. I would say Season 1 and Season 2 were developed and created as kind of two chapters of the same book,” Wright said. “We felt pretty strongly, all of us involved, that Season 2 was about closing that book.”

While that quote sounds like the Season 2 finale is the end of the line for Loki, which would track given the epic and emotional events that saw Loki transform into an all-powerful God of Stories, Wright added one last little caveat that could bode well for a Season 3. “There are many other books on the shelf for this character and for this world.”

Loki Seasons 1-2 are available for streaming on Disney+.
