Taylor Swift’s message to young women out there:
There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame, but if you just focus on the work, and you don’t let those people side track you, someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you’ll know that it was you. And that it’s the people who love you who put you there and that’ll be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment!Taylor Swift
And that was Taylor Swift dissing Kanye West for the song Famous in his seventh album, the lyrics of which go like this- “For all my Southside n----s who will know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why, I made that bitch famous / God damn / I made that bitch famous.”

Oh this one just HAD to win!
Meet 12 year old Joey Alexander, double Grammy nominee!
He’s taking the jazz world by storm. Joey may now be a protégé of Wynton Marsalis, he hails not from a renowned hotbed of jazz but from Bali, Indonesia. Just six years ago he taught himself to play the piano listening to his father’s collection of Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk albums.
At his New York debut, Joey chose to play Round Midnight, a song renowned as one of the toughest in jazz. By the time he finished, the orchestra and audience were on their feet for a standing ovation.
