While Taylor Swift has reigned over her corner of pop music for the last several years, she’s also quick to uphold other hard-working musicians around her. Just last year, Swift hailed Lana Del Rey as “the most influential artist in pop.” But Swift has now named a handful of her female predecessors who have made a huge impact on her early life and influenced her career through their music.

Speaking to her fans in an Instagram story, Swift explained that she curated a playlist of some of the female artists who have influenced her the most. The list includes the Dixie Chicks, Liz Phair, Vanessa Carlton, Alanis Morissette, and many more. The singer told fans the playlist was to give back to her “faraway mentors:”

“At the end of Women’s History Month, I wanted to make a playlist of songs and artists who made music that became the soundtrack to my life for a time, a phase, endless rides on the school bus, getting my license and driving around alone, screaming into a hairbrush and deciding ultimately that I wanted to make music too. I see these women as my faraway mentors, who taught me how music can really make someone’s life easier and more magical. These female professors guided me melodically, lyrically, spiritually and emotionally without even knowing it. And though I haven’t met most of these women, I will forever be grateful to them.”

Check out Swift’s 51-song playlist below.

It’s been a surprisingly busy time lately for pro wrestlers working on movies. CM Punk just finished shooting a new horror movie with Barbara Crampton; the wrestling-themed horror film Powerbomb (starring Matt Cross and Britt Baker) drops on VOD platforms April 14; and we also got a trailer for a new wrestling-themed animated film featuring the voices of Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch, among others.

Now, Netflix is tossing their hat in the ring with the release of The Main Event on April 10. The WWE Studios movie, originally announced last summer, dropped its trailer today. The plot of the family film is as follows:

When 11-year-old Leo Thompson (Seth Carr) discovers a magical wrestling mask that grants him super strength, he uses it to enter a WWE competition. With the support of his grandmother (Tichina Arnold), Leo will do whatever it takes to achieve his dream of becoming a WWE Superstar. Can one kid win it all, in the face of epic challengers in the ring? Directed by Jay Karas, THE MAIN EVENT co-stars Adam Pally, Ken Marino, and features WWE Superstars Kofi Kingston, The Miz and Sheamus.

In addition to the Superstars named above, other WWE talent featured in The Main Event includes Otis of Heavy Machinery, NXT North American Champion Keith Lee, WWE Hall Of Famer Beth Phoenix, Mia Yim, Corey Graves, Renee Young and 6’9″ NXT prospect Babatunde as the film’s big baddie, Samson. Check out the trailer:

So if you’re in danger of running out of wrestling-related content as your quarantine continues, fear not: In just a few weeks, you’ll get to watch a movie starring Pam from Martin, a dude who likes to dip his balls in things and a guy from Sonic The Hedgehog in which an 11-year-old emasculates grown men in a wrestling ring. That could never happen in real life, right?

The NBA is keeping an eye on the Chinese Basketball Association and its efforts to resume play following a hiatus that began all the way back on Jan. 24 as the coronavirus spread through China. Brian Windhorst of ESPN has been on top of the story, and reported on Friday that the CBA’s continued waiting game is forcing NBA officials to imagine centralized locations where games, housing, and training could take place away from any outbreak.

The expected resumption of the CBA season has been pushed back from the first week of April to as late as May after mandating a 14-day quarantine for foreign players returning to China to participate.

Part of the delay resulted from the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, which allowed more CBA players to come back to China rather than move onto training with their national teams. On the other hand, the Chinese government is still worried about a resurgence from promoting large gatherings too soon or allowing free-flowing travel before the disease has been stamped out around the globe. So the CBA is doing what many sports leagues are considering: Playing without fans. According to Windhorst, NBA players and executives are realizing they may have to do the same.

The idea, per Windhorst, is that the league can descend upon one centralized location and have that be the center of the NBA universe. Via ESPN:

Various ideas have been floated by players and executives. One is to consider using a sprawling casino property in Las Vegas, where everything could be held under one roof. Others have suggested playing in the Bahamas, where a ballroom could be converted into a playing court specifically for broadcast. There has even been talk of taking over a college campus in the Midwest, where reported cases of COVID-19 are lower for the moment.

Whatever the location, it would be a place where teams could sleep, train, eat and, hopefully, be kept healthy enough to have confidence in resuming play — maybe not to finish out the season but to at least get restarted.

Any plan like this would require diligent COVID-19 testing for all involved at a time when the country — and world — faces a shortage of the materials involved to test wide swaths of the population. Finding a place that is secluded enough for now to have avoided a major outbreak does not ensure the area would remain safe for long enough to play out the remainder of the season.

The NBA is getting creative, but as of now, there aren’t a lot of answers.

Japanese wrestling promotion DDT has responded creatively to the obstacles COVID-19 has placed in the way of pro wrestling, holding unique no-audience events and putting up several shows for free on its streaming service. Their next move is to put on a show in a hospital.

Before several of its upcoming events were canceled or turned into no-fans events, DDT held one regular wrestling show with an audience, Judgement, on March 19, and there announced their next creative response to the coronavirus pandemic, a falls-count-anywhere match in a medical clinic.

Medical Clinic Rojo Pro Wrestling will take place in (or around? I’m not sure about the logistics of this) Kyou Clinic in Saitama, Japan, which specializes in medical treatment for the elderly, and will stream for free on DDT’s YouTube channel on March 30 starting at 3 PM Japan Standard Time, which is 2 AM Eastern on March 30, or 11 PM Pacific on March 29.

The show consists of one four-way, falls-out-anywhere tag team match, and since it’s supposed to “help promote coronavirus awareness to the elderly,” the match will include one team of elderly wrestlers. It’s Shinya Aoki and Makoto Oishi vs. Konosuke Takeshita and Shunma Katsumata vs. Chris Brookes and Mike Bailey vs. the 58-year-old comedy wrestler Gorgeous Matsuno and Gabai Jichan, a masked “100-year-old” wrester.

I have a lot of questions about how DDT is able to use a medical facility for a wrestling show during a pandemic (it looks like they set this up earlier this month) and how wise that is, but will I tune in later this week rooting for the team of old people? Probably!

Schools are closed, but G-Eazy‘s heart stays open. The Bay Area rapper has pledged a month of free meals for local kids for the next month to offset the loss of school lunches during the coronavirus crisis, according to TMZ.

G-Eazy has partnered his Endless Summer Fund with Larkin Street Youth Services to fund Mi Morena, a local food truck, to help reach at-risk kids in communities that can’t access Larkin’s brick-and-mortar sites. The food truck will provide lunch seven days a week for the duration of San Francisco’s shelter-in-place order.

Gerald is far from the only rapper providing help to the community in this time of crisis. Yesterday, Russ gave away $20,000 on Twitter, splitting it up among 20 fans, some of whom have family members who work in health care and are dealing with the stress of the situation up close. Meanwhile, Cardi B pledged to donate the proceeds from iMarkkeyz’s “Coronavirus,” which samples an Instagram post Cardi made about the crisis, to charity. Finally, Meek Mill is pushing his S.A.F.E.R. Plan to protect inmates from the virus, asking fans to call their local governors to implement the plan.

For a long time, World War II historians came across the name Ravensbrück but didn’t know what went on in the German concentration camp.

All of the documents about Ravensbrück, the camp for women, were burned before the end of the war. After the war, the area was under the control of the Soviet Union. Now, after researchers have tracked down survivors and visited the site, we know that it was opened in 1939 and housed women deemed prostitutes, criminals, minorities, or who had opposed Hitler.

One survivor wrote in her account, “Among the prisoners were ‘the cream of Europe’s women.’”

She continued, “They included General de Gaulle’s niece (pictured above), a former British women’s golf champion, and scores of Polish countesses.”

Ravensbrück, however, was mostly known for its medical experiments on the women, most of whom were Polish.

One medical goal was to test sulphonamide drugs. This was done by deliberately wounding a prisoner and injecting viral bacteria into the wound. Death or permanent injury was usually the end result.

Another goal was to see if muscles and bones could regenerate or be transplanted. Prisoners’ bones were broken, dissected, and grafted, leaving subjects in excruciating pain.

One group of women had their wounds filled with wooden splinters, another group with glass shards, and the third group had both implanted.

Some women were experimented upon with no pain medication just to see how effective the tested drugs were.

Nazi doctors shared the results of their experiments at a 1943 medical conference in Berlin. None of the civilian German doctors dared question the experiments on the basis of cruelty.

The women at Ravensbrück were strong, and some resisted even inside the concentration camp. The last experiments happened in 1943, and guards and wardens had to physically hold down the women who bravely refused.
