Swift will resume her The Eras Touron November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and continue with her international dates through August 2024 before staging a second North American leg in October and November 2024. In other words, her New York City apartment will be available.
According to Page Sixon Wednesday, September 27, Swift has “loaned” Turner “a stunning apartment in her own downtown New York City neighborhood that the actress and her children can live in while Turner and [Joe] Jonas get their complex custody arrangements ironed out.” The publication shared paparazzi photos of Turner in and out of the apartment with her two daughters with “a folded-up travel crib and two large suitcases.”
Page Six additionally relayed, “Apparently, the ‘Shake It Off’ songstress keeps a Tribeca pad as an investment property, but has handed the keys to the ‘Game of Thrones’ star as a temporary home. Page Six spies say Turner has been spotted settling into the famously chic hood, checking out some of the local comfort food spots.”
However, last week, NBC News obtained court documents filed by Turner suing Jonas for custody and “the return of their two young children to England.” Representatives for Jonas immediately released a counter statement, dismissing Turner’s lawsuit as “a harsh legal position.”
“Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the US and the UK,” the statement read, in part.
On Monday, September 25, People reported that three-year-old Willa and their second child, whose identity has never been publicly confirmed, “will remain in New York for the time being amid the former couple’s custody disagreement,” an interim consent order filed in New York.
On Wednesday, September 27, Mitski posted across her social channels that she will announce tour dates next week. She didn’t identify a specific day, but encouraged fans to “sign up for news and updates by texting +1 (432) 755-7123 or at laylo.com/mitski.”

“The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We is not the kind of record you make in anticipation of playing stadiums with Harry Styles, as Laurel Hell was,” Hyden wrote in his album review. “Rather, it is situated in a strange, shadowy environment that exists strictly in the singer’s imagination, and only during the album’s 32-minute duration. Which is why, based on my own personal experience, I suspect listeners will play it compulsively, in order to re-conjure what Mitski has invented for one more half-hour. The land might be inhospitable, but her world draws you in.”
Next week, Mitski’s listeners will learn which physical environments in which they’ll be able to enjoy the album.
Who’s going to be the next permanent host of The Daily Show? Somehow it’s still unclear. On Wednesday Deadline reported the comedy news program will be back in October following the end of the WGA strike. When they do they’ll still be doing what they were doing pre-strike: having a revolving door of guest hosts, with an official replacement for Trevor Noah finally taking over in 2024. But one thing seems (allegedly) certain: That person won’t be Hasan Minhaj.
Sources tell Variety that Comedy Central is going back to the drawing board over Noah’s successor. Previously they’d been reportedly considering Minhaj, who has been one of the rising stars among the show’s army of correspondents, which he was until 2018. But after a recent New Yorker profile revealed that he’d embellished some of his routines, including one about his family being mailed a letter containing anthrax, which turned out not to be true.
Comedy Central has never confirmed that Minhaj was in the running for the gig.
Noah left The Daily Show late last year. Guest hosts since then have included Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones, and Al Franken, as well as contributors like Roy Wood, Jr., Jordan Klepper, and Desi Lydic, who was the last to host the show before the WGA went on strike. The names of future guest hosts has not yet been made public.
There’s a second GOP debate airing on Fox News Wednesday night. It’s not the most exciting news. After all, the guy who’s crushing the polls by a lot isn’t even attending, and maybe not only out of cowardice. But those who tune in will at two points be treated to an unexpected guest: the current president of the United States.
As per The Daily Beast, the Joe Biden campaign has bought some airtime on Fox News, Fox Business, and Univision, which is showing the smackdown in Spanish, to air two separate ads during the debate. One is called “The Difference,” and it argues today’s Republican party is beholden to the rich and powerful, at the expense of everyone else.
“Republicans say they’re for us, but we know they’re working for the rich and powerful,” says the ad’s narrator. “President Joe Biden is different. He’s fighting for us. He’s working to make billionaires and corporations pay their fair share.”
“He says he stands with autoworkers,” it begins. “But as President, Donald Trump passed tax breaks for his rich friends while automakers shuttered their plants, and Michigan, lost manufacturing jobs.”
It concludes, “Joe Biden said he’d stand up for workers and he’s delivering. Passing laws that are increasing wages and creating good-paying jobs. Manufacturing is coming back to Michigan because Joe Biden doesn’t just talk, he delivers.”
The ads will be played in English and, on Univision, in Spanish. The demographic they’re aiming for, says a Biden campaign official, is swing voters they want to dissuade from voting for a party they argue is anti-working class and definitely not pro-union.
Where will Trump be during all of this? In Michigan, speaking to auto workers…who are, of course, not in a union and therefore not striking. But hey, they might get to hear Trump say something like how Jeb Bush, not his brother George, is responsible for starting the Iraq War.
Most people might feel intimidated to follow that episode. Cardi B does not strike one as a person intimidated by anyone or anything. And so, she’s host Sean Evans’ next guess, scheduled to “take on the wings of death” on Hot Ones on Thursday, September 28, at 11 a.m. EST.
First We Feast posted a teaser clip earlier Wednesday, September 27, in which Cardi admitted, “I’m telling you. My fans been begging me to do this show for so, so, so, so long. I have to give it to them, and I’m so scared. Oh my gosh.”
Evans asked Cardi whether she immediately knew her latest single, “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion, would be a hit once she heard “that Dembow-style” beat. Cardi explained that she didn’t necessarily realize it had hit potential, but it made her dance. Evans followed that up with a question about her process of recording clean-for-radio versions of her songs.
“Annoying!” she said, slouching back in her chair. “So annoying, like, you know, I’m doing the clean version, and it’s like, ‘Alright, baby, eat it up like a plum.’ And it’s like, ‘No, you still can’t play that for pop radio’ or whatever, and I’m like, ‘Baby, eat these peaches and plums.’ But I had no choice.”
The teaser clip comes after Cardi confirmed she was the next Hot Ones guest earlier this week. First We Feast posted a much shorter snippet, showing Cardi saying, “Oh, my God. I’m scared.”
“[I will tour] as soon as I finish my album,” Cardi told Andy Cohen on the September 11 episode of Watch What Happens Live, adding, “The album will be done this year. And it will be put out next year.”
Who knows how many more details will be squeezed out of Cardi by spicy hot wings.
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Shortly after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news of the trade, Lillard addressed it on X (formerly known as Twitter), writing, “The casuals won’t be addressed but the Trail Blazers fans and city of Portland that I love truly will be … and they will be addressed truthfully. Stay tuned. Excited for my next chapter! @Bucks”
Roughly two hours later, Lillard shared “Farewell” to Apple Music and Tidal, with a promise that the freestyle would hit “the rest of the platforms soon.”
The casuals won’t be addressed but the trailblazers fans and city of Portland that I love truly will be … and they will be addressed truthfully. Stay tuned
The track comes in at just under three minutes and it kept true to Lillard’s promise, reflecting on his path to this point, appreciating everyone who stood by him (“Only my loved ones make me feel free”), and holding those who bailed accountable (“Let some people in, and now these n****s disgust me / I learned that a wolf can sometimes resemble a husky”).
In the final 45 seconds, Lillard raps, “I can never be replaced / They’ll know sooner than later / An arrow pointed at who assumed it was greater / Amazing what I get in return for this labor / I’ll continue leaving trails but [inaudible] beef with the Blazers / To the fans, man, I love you / It’s unconditional / Reasons for me leaving the city’s nothing typical.”
Lillard continues, “So it’s imperative not to believe the narrative / Just know that what I left is better than what I inherited / I leave at peace because I know, in the end, that this is business / Hope you remember all the things you got to sit and witness / In the future, man, I hope we greet with hugs and kisses / But you should know that they the ones who chose another mission.”
Lillard was drafted sixth overall by the Blazers in the 2012 NBA Draft. The Oakland native has been a loyal superstar to Portland despite never sniffing an NBA title. The furthest Lillard’s Blazers made it in the NBA Playoffs was the Western Conference Finals during the 2018-19 season.
For months, Damian Lillard and his agent Aaron Goodwin have made it clear, both publicly and privately, that Lillard’s focus was on joining the Miami Heat after his trade request from the Portland Trail Blazers.
However, on Wednesday, Lillard was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-team deal involving the Suns and posted to Twitter that he was “excited” to get going in Milwaukee with Giannis Antetokounmpo and company. That response coming after so many reports that he might make things difficult with a team other than the Heat was interesting, and made folks wonder if Milwaukee simply was willing to call Dame’s bluff and go all-in after Giannis delivered his message loud and clear that if they wanted him to re-sign long-term, they needed to show a championship was all they cared about.
Apparently, this was not simply blind faith from the Bucks in Lillard being a professional and showing up to play even if he didn’t get his desired destination, but some firsthand knowledge that he would accept being dealt to Milwaukee. That’s because according to Marc Spears, Goodwin quietly informed the Nets and Bucks that Lillard be interested in being traded to either team, with the Bucks taking that as the impetus to go get the star guard.
Sources to @andscape: With Miami talks going nowhere, agent Aaron Goodwin privately told the Bucks and Nets 10 days ago that Dame would be interested in a deal there. The Raptors were a real contender to land the ex-Blazers star, but ultimately Bucks got it done per Woj report.
For all the questions of whether Portland could create enough leverage to find a deal outside of Miami, it certainly seems that dragging things out until the week before camp was enough to get Lillard and Goodwin to move off of their Heat or bust stance. That was enough to get other teams to start making legitimate offers and, ultimately, they found a deal they liked more than Miami’s longstanding offer. Spears also notes the Raptors rumblings from this week were legit, but the Bucks went out and got the job done, with Lillard not having anything to complain about in terms of his basketball situation in Milwaukee.
As per The Associated Press, some two weeks after the Trump team filed a motion to get Judge Tanya Chutkan to step down from the case, owing to what they saw as past impartial statements against him, she’s decided to keep on keepin’ on.
In the filing, Trump’s lawyers argued that while doling out a harsh sentence to one of the Jan. 6 rioters — something she did frequently — Chutkan had slipped in a clear Trump diss, noting the defendant’s “blind loyalty to one person,” who, she noted, “remains free to this day.” That, Trump lawyers’ said, clearly implied their client was “free, but should not be,” thereby constituting an “apparent prejudgment of guilt.”
But Chutkan called BS. “It bears noting that the court has never taken the position the defense ascribes to it: that former ‘President Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned,’” Chutkan wrote in her refusal to step down. “And the defense does not cite any instance of the court ever uttering those words or anything similar.”
The Trump team’s attempt to get Chutkan to recuse herself had been seen by legal experts as a long shot, as the bar for recusal is a high one. And so Trump will have to contend with a judge with whom he’s already tussled. The trial is set to being on March 4, 2024 — right as the GOP primary season is set to pop off.
For months, the NBA world has been waiting for Damian Lillard to be traded, with the expectation being that the star would eventually end up in his preferred destination of Miami.
Instead, Lillard was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday in a stunning three-team blockbuster that sees Dame pair up with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the NBA’s new title favorite. In return, the Blazers bring in Jrue Holiday (who is expected to be rerouted via trade to a different team), Deandre Ayton from the Suns, an unprotected 2029 first round pick from Milwaukee, and unprotected pick swaps from the Bucks in 2028 and 2030.
As soon as the deal was made, there was one resounding question: Did the Blazers do better in this trade than they could’ve in a deal with the Heat?
What was most recently reported out of Miami, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, was that Miami had been pretty firm on the offer being Tyler Herro, two first round picks, and salary filler in the form of Duncan Robinson or Kyle Lowry. Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez could’ve entered the conversation, but pretty much that was what Miami could do and was willing to do, with guys like Caleb Martin never really being entertained. If that is what was in fact on the table, I do think the Bucks’ offer was better and my guess is they selected Milwaukee’s offer for a few reasons.
It starts with Herro, who was never going to factor into the Blazers long-term plans because they already have a glut of guards. I have to assume that if the Heat had a young forward or big man of the same talent level as Herro, this deal would’ve been done months ago. Instead, they were offering a centerpiece that was redundant on Portland’s roster, and moving him to a third team was likely going to be a bit difficult and not yield a huge secondary outcome.
Now, Holiday is likewise redundant in Portland but carries far more value to far more teams than Herro does. You’d be hard-pressed to find a contender (including, somewhat funny enough, the Miami Heat) that wouldn’t view adding Holiday as an upgrade. He’s a player they could seamlessly fit into their roster because he is an elite perimeter defender and a very solid on- or off-ball guard on offense who can fit next to most any backcourt player. Herro is maybe the better long-term prospect, but there aren’t a lot of teams clamoring to move assets for a score-first two guard at this very moment, meaning moving him requires you to narrow your focus considerably.
Beyond that, it’s clear the Blazers value Ayton pretty highly, and the Bucks deal allowed them to flip Jusuf Nurkic for Ayton because it allowed Portland to reroute Grayson Allen to Phoenix, who figures to bring helpful wing depth for the Suns. If the Suns valued Allen more than Robinson or Lowry and that was the way to get Ayton, that only adds to the Blazers reasoning to take Milwaukee’s offer over Miami’s. I admit to being among those who still believe in Ayton’s upside, while fully understanding why many folks are out on him particularly on his current contract. But given the roster Portland has, Ayton seems like a pretty good fit and gives them a center more closely aligned with their new timeline who should be better suited than Nurkic to play the tempo they want.
There was never a world in which the Blazers were going to trade Damian Lillard and get better as a team, or even get assets in return that were close to what should be the market value of a guy who averaged 32.2 points per game on insane efficiency a year ago. That is almost never out there for a star player, barring a very unique circumstance like when Oklahoma City got the haul it did for Paul George because it was the only way for the Clippers to get Kawhi Leonard as well. As such, the choice was what could they do to best maximize their return. Ayton is a guy they valued (reasonable people can disagree with that), while Holiday is the player they figured would be easiest to reroute to another team and fetch other stuff.
When Joe Cronin meets with the media to discuss this trade, he absolutely has the cover to talk about getting the best possible deal and believe he did so. I also won’t discount the role spite probably played in this to find a trade that sends Lillard somewhere other than the Heat, particularly because it is one that Lillard cannot be publicly upset with. Toronto or Chicago, two teams linked with him in recent days, would not have provided the same opportunity for Lillard, and would’ve absolutely looked like a move to spite the Heat.
But Dame’s stated goal is to win a title, and he’s now on a team that becomes the betting favorites with him. He wanted to play with complementary stars in Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, and he now has a similarly snug fit with Giannis, Khris Middleton, and Brook Lopez. There isn’t a basketball reason for Lillard to be upset about this, which made it even easier for Cronin and the Blazers to make this move happen and be able to honestly say they wanted to give Lillard a chance to compete for a title, while assuredly being delighted that they found a way to send him somewhere other than Miami.
Molly Burch hasn’t ever been afraid of being vulnerable in her music. But on her fourth studio album (fifth if you include last year’s Christmas album), the singer is leading with her sensitivity. “I’m so fragile it’s not even funny,” she sings on “Made Of Glass,” the opening to her triumphant Daydreamer.
The album itself came together in a time of change and nostalgia. Burch moved back to her Los Angeles hometown and began drafting lyrics after finding her old diaries from childhood. As a result, Daydreamer is an intimate look at Burch’s identity and self-image through the lens of vibrant synth-pop ballads. “I decided, through songwriting, to look back at formative life moments, to connect with the reasons why I’ve dedicated my life to music and also try to heal old and still open wounds,” Burch said in a statement. “This album is dedicated not only to my thirteen year-old self, but the thirteen year-old selves that still linger within all of us.”
Ahead of Daydreamer, Burch sat down with Uproxx to talk Fiona Apple, Billie Holiday, and Sex and the Cityin our latest Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Romantic, relatable, vulnerable, and dramatic.
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
I would want people to remember it fondly and feel nostalgic when they listen to it.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
I would say Fiona Apple. When I first started learning how to sing I would sing along to her songs and was obsessed with her voice. I also love that she is a homebody and likes to watch a lot of TV — I relate to this heavily. And she’s a baddie.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?
I’m gonna shout out a hometown spot — it’s called Pie n Burger and it’s in Pasadena, CA. It’s so cute inside and has the nicest staff — I feel like a kid at summer camp in there even though I never went to summer camp. I get my all-time favorite meal which is a cheeseburger, fries, and a Coca-Cola. They have amazing pie — my favorite is the boysenberry pie with vanilla ice cream.
Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.
This is an easy one. My senior year of high school my dad got us tickets to a Hal Ashby tribute screening of Harold and Maude and Cat Stevens played. It was an out-of-body experience for me. To watch him play in a movie theater! So intimate and we were so close. It feels like a dream.
What song never fails to make you emotional?
“I’ll Be Seeing You” Billie Holiday.
What’s the last thing you Googled?
Omg what an embarrassing question but I will answer honestly. In the middle of the night I googled “what foods make your body inflamed” and then directly after that I googled “olive garden menu”.
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
This question is giving PTSD. One time on our very first tour a friend of a friend put us up in his practice space where metal music was blasting and there was a mattress on the floor with blood on it. We did get out of there but I was so broke at the time we almost stayed.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?
My ultimate dream is to play in Japan. I truly love performing in LA (where I’m from and where I live now). I also love playing in Paris.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Stop tweezing your eyebrows so thin!
What’s one of your hidden talents?
Very useless but I know the series Sex and the City like the back of my hand and can recite the dialogue to any episode.
If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?
Homelessness because it breaks my heart and I wish everyone on earth could live a nice life and not have to suffer.
What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?
Pass! Too scary. Blocking it out as long as I can.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location it would be held.
So fun. I’m feeling upstate NY, cozy fall vibes. I’d want Fiona Apple, Lauryn Hill, Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande, and Kacey Musgraves.
Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?
@sagestudioatx on Instagram. They are a non-profit art studio and gallery for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Austin, TX. I volunteered there last year when I still lived in Austin and following them helps me still feel connected to the artists and the wonderful women who run it. Seeing what they create makes me happy.
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
I have a song on Daydreamer called “Tattoo” which is about this. My first and only tattoo is a symbol that means “no fear but god” and it’s on my sternum. I got it for my friend who passed away — she had the same tattoo in the same place. I was in Wilmington, NC with one of my best friends from college and we just impulsively walked into a tattoo parlor in the middle of the day and both got tattoos on our chests haha. It was a really funny experience, my mom was there holding our hands. It was sweet and I’ve never regretted getting it.
What is your pre-show ritual?
I really enjoy putting on makeup because that’s usually one of the very few times I have some alone time on tour. I find it very meditative actually. I wish I was a better vocalist and said I do vocal warmups but I really don’t.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Chris Farley.
You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?
My gut is Disneyland, really do it up big. But a month seems long lol. I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico City with my boyfriend Dailey and we’d bring our recently rescued dog Monty. Or Hawaii.
What is your biggest fear?
Heights, death, and that people are mad at me!
