Taylor Swift's Album Enjoys A Summertime Chart Revival
Taylor Swift's album Folklore doesn't need an excuse to rise on Billboard's charts. The once-surprise release remains not just one of the singer's most critically-acclaimed projects, but also a fan favorite among millions of Swifties. Folklore regularly appears on a number of tallies in the United States, and this frame is a fruitful one for the indie-leaning studio effort, which stands out from her discography for all the right reasons. Folklore Is One of Eight Swift Albums Charting This Week The Grammy-winning Album of the Year is the only title from Swift to rise on any ranking in the U.S. this week, and it manages to climb on each list on which it appears. Folklore lifts to No. 6 on the Top Alternative Albums chart, No. 14 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, and to No. 61 on the Billboard 200. The set earns the greatest gain on that latter tally, where it improves by seven spots. Consumption of Taylor Swift's Folklore Grows Consumption of Folklore increased by just under 5% from one week to the next, which helps to explain its rise in the U.S. According to Luminate, the album moved just under 14,600 equivalent units between sales and streaming activity, up from 13,950 during the previous period. 'August' Fuels Swift's Return to the Spotlight Folklore has been back in the news recently, as it became Swift's latest album to reach half a decade on the Billboard 200. The title may have received a boost thanks to the renewed attention, or perhaps because the end of summer holds a special meaning for the project. Folklore includes the track 'August,' so streams and sales of that cut, which contribute to the success of the full-length, tend to grow toward the end of July and certainly as August begins. With August Here, Folklore Could Climb Again There's a good chance that since August 1 marks the beginning of a new tracking period, Folklore could climb again in a few days when Billboard publishes updated rankings. It may even rise once more as millions of fans return to 'August' and, in some instances, Folklore as a whole to honor that standout track.

Trump Deletes and Reposts Tweet About Sydney Sweeney Several Times
President Donald Trump has been very active on Truth Social this morning, firing off posts about everything from last week's terrible jobs report to India's oil imports. But the president's post about Sydney Sweeney and Taylor Swift had to be deleted and reposted several times to correct spelling errors on Monday. And it speaks to the chaos going on behind the scenes as the president posts to social media when he's supposed to be running the country. Sweeney is currently at the center of an online debate about an ad for clothing company American Eagle. The actress talks about genetics in an ad that ends with a homophone-based joke about jeans and genes. Some people see the ad as a dog whistle to racists (including many of the racists themselves), and Trump was first asked about it on Sunday, when he learned that Sweeney is a registered Republican. The president seemed excited by the fact that a popular actress might be on his team politically and really leaned into it Monday morning with a whiny, error-riddled post that went in a few different directions on 'wokeness.' As you can see, Trump's first stab at the post about Sweeney misspelled her name as 'Sidney,' says 'flying of the shelves' rather than off the shelves, and spells the beer as Bud Lite rather than Bud Light. Miller is the brand that uses 'Lite' rather than Light. Trump deleted and reposted the screed, fixing some of the errors and expanding the section about Taylor Swift, who he claimed was booed at the Super Bowl and 'became NO LONGER HOT.' Swift was indeed booed by some people at the Super Bowl because she was there to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce. Swift was reportedly booed by Philadelphia Eagles fans, not because the billionaire singer has become unpopular. Trump also added a line, as you can see below, reading 'Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.' The president added another line to his second post that's become extremely common in recent months: 'Thank you for your attention to this matter.' But the president deleted his post yet again, fixing his sentence about American Eagle jeans 'flying of the shelves,' without fixing the part about Bud 'Lite.' One of the questions that people often have about Trump's social media presence is how frequently he's the person actually typing it out. Trump has famously never used a computer but has previously confirmed that he's the one typing on his phone to send out many of his posts. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said that he's often dictating tweets during the day and it's all his own typing at night after 7:00 p.m. But it's unclear whether he's stuck to that schedule. The pro-Trump documentary series Art of the Surge showed what it was like tweeting with Trump during a speech from Kamala Harris in the 2024 campaign, and it really appeared to be a team process. Trump would dictate to the assistant sitting next to him, but plenty of other people in the room contributed ideas and suggested their own versions of talking points to people who ran other accounts associated with Trump's campaign. It wasn't all celebrity nonsense on Monday morning. Trump also tried to address the fact that he fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics last week after the agency reported weak job creation numbers and revised down previous months. 'Last weeks Job's Report was RIGGED, just like the numbers prior to the Presidential Election were Rigged,' Trump wrote in a transparent lie. 'That's why, in both cases, there was massive, record setting revisions, in favor of the Radical Left Democrats. Those big adjustments were made to cover up, and level out, the FAKE political numbers that were CONCOCTED in order to make a great Republican Success look less stellar!!! I will pick an exceptional replacement. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAGA!' Trump fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, from her nonpartisan role on Friday, and there's absolutely no evidence she did anything wrong. In fact, more than 2,000 people work at the BLS, according to CNN, and it would have been impossible for McEntarfer to significantly alter the data without the coordination of dozens, if not hundreds, of accomplices. And, again, there's no evidence she did that. Trump just shot the messenger and wants to install someone who will make it look like his economy is doing better than it is. The newly revised numbers showed the U.S. added 258,000 fewer jobs in May and June than first reported, a bad sign for the future of the economy. Trump is an agent of chaos, firing off posts about anything and everything he sees on TV. But how do we know he's mostly reacting to whatever pops up on television? Sometimes he just says as much, like when he recently said that he's seen the starvation of children in Gaza on TV. This is a man with an entire intelligence community devoted to making sure he has the best and latest information from around the world. But he is fixated on whatever might be happening on the glowing boxes of mass media around him at all times. Trump also seemed to be talking directly to the TV on Monday when he sent a few posts about Sen. Elizabeth Warren, writing, 'Ask Pocahontas the real questions, CNBC!!!' Warren was on the financial news channel to discuss Trump's firing of the BLS commissioner, pointing out that it's extremely dangerous. Warren said Trump seemed poised to 'put in some sycophant that makes the president happy,' which clearly set him off. You'd think the job of the president would require a little more attention to world affairs and less to the criticism he's hearing on TV. But obviously, this is a unique era in American history. And none of this dysfunction is going to get resolved anytime soon.

Review: Sabrina Carpenter closes Lollapalooza with confectionary joy and perfect surprises
Our pool of genuinely funny music performers has never been large. Musicians get timid about humor, with reason. Audiences take earnest artists seriously and let time and taste catch up to anyone who takes their own importance with a grain of salt. That's one of the reasons why Sabrina Carpenter played so exuberantly in Grant Park on Sunday night. She closed Lollapalooza with real effervescent wit, even joy. Imagine! Looking goofy on stage! We had the introspection of Tyler, The Creator; the gated-community angst of Gracie Abrams; and the sunny rebellion of Olivia Rodrigo. But god, Sabrina Carpenter is fun. Her stage, festooned with a huge curling 'SC' traced in stage lights, not only paid homage to Chicago as the original home of 'Soul Train,' she and her dancers threw in their own version of a 'Soul Train' line dance. By the end of the, she was in a conga line. Within a few songs, she'd settled into a sort of samba twang for 'Slim Pickins,' with its great chorus: Midway through, nodding to Chicago cool again, she brought out Earth, Wind & Fire, along with its entire horn section, for an inspired bop through 'Let's Groove' and 'September.' I was not expecting chills in August, yet here we are. Carpenter — whose act fits nicely into the contemporary wave of ubiquitous young woman pop singers, though works subversively, even subtly, against the mold — loaded her set with the winks, bumps, put-downs and self-deprecations that dance across her albums. She's such a knowing throwback to '70s variety shows that her stage even mimicked TV studios, bundling the stage cameras into the kind of large swiveling stands associated with the days of live TV. In another life, Carpenter could have been Carol Burnett. Or Carole Lombard. Or maybe a Looney Tunes rabbit. But definitely a character. Sabrina Carpenter, at least on stage, her Lolla set confirmed, is a role, albeit with a heart. You could argue that of Rodrigo, Abrams, Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, Charlie XCX, the wave of woman superstars that get lumped colloquially as 'the pop girlies.' But among this group, the Super Friends of Pop, only Carpenter reminds you she is a confection. A former Disney Channel star (of course), her playful nods to showbiz convention and cliche feel second nature — not unlike the way, say, Martin Short feels born to the stage. When she closed with the inevitable 'Espresso' — last year's song of the summer — and its nonsensical a teenager beside me, singing, threw in the song's quiet aside: 'Stupid.' It's there, in the studio version of 'Expresso,' a sardonic meta-quip from Carpenter about own writing, which can get so tangled in heated knots, it's just shy of camp in places, only to turn clever again. This might be Carpenter's finest quality, her ability to surprise without underlining any effort. At the lip of the stage, accompanied by an acoustic guitar, she managed to be intimate despite playing to the population of a small city: 'I know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed,' then plainly added: 'We had sex, I met your best friends.' Her knack for detail met noir-laced burlesque in 'because i liked a boy,' which opens, only to rage, A beat later, she's working those Groucho Marx eyebrows, singing: Carpenter is camp the way that Dolly Parton is camp, fully in charge of the tone without sacrificing brains. You take her seriously because she's funny, and shrewdly provocative. On her previous tour, she sang a song while seated on a toilet seat, which — and this is the best part — she would wipe down before she sat. Lollapalooza 2025: What we saw — and heard — at the 4-day music festival at Grant ParkFor Lolla, she framed the show as 'SC News Chicago,' incorporating satiric commercials between songs, a parody of 1-900 chat line ads for 'Bed Chem,' a commercial for 'Manchild Spray' before her recent hit, 'Manchild,' the song of this summer: The men in her songs are basically Wile E. Coyote, and she is the Roadrunner, addicted to the chase. She's not above declaring herself horny. But then going broad works at Lollapalooza. In fact, it may be the only way to perform here now — if only because Grant Park becomes so overcrowded during headliners like Carpenter that unless you're up front somewhere near the stage, you're watching this on screens the entire time or you'll have to wait for a clip on TikTok or Instagram to spot anything sly or understated. Once again, Carpenter understands the assignment. She asks 'It's 10 p.m., do you know where your girlfriend is?' then moments later notes how 'grateful' she is. She sends-up the corny tropes of a generation of hitmakers with a comforting bit of heart. She's all off balance, sincere but sincerely silly. She looked out on Lollapalooza Sunday — which, by day four, is basically 'Lord of the Flies' — surveyed the mess and laughed.
