Jessie Murph sparks outrage over controversial music video depicting domestic violence, pornography
Jessie Murph has fans in an uproar. The 20-year-old singer, who has been compared to Amy Winehouse, sparked a social media firestorm over the music video to her risqué new song 1965. The video, which came out July 18, has been accused of glorifying pornography and domestic violence due to its graphic nature. Fans are particularly upset over a shocking sex scene that takes place in the middle of the video. In addition, a woman who appears to be Murph is depicted tied up while face down on a couch in the video. Fans flooded the comments section of the song's YouTube upload — which has over 7 million views — to express their displeasure. 'The way my jaw dropped the floor, there's still time to unrelease this,' one fan wrote. 'The fact it's been 5 days or whatever since the video had been uploaded and YouTube still hasn't blurred that out is crazy work,' a different comment read. A third person said, 'I didn't think it would be this bad. I am forever traumatised this is diabolical.' 'Since when is pornography allowed on YouTube?' someone else asked. More fans slammed Murph for including a child in the video right before the sex scene. 'So so messed up,' a fan said. 'Not only is this song ahh, putting a child before such an explicit scene is crazy,' a different fan noted. 1965, which is from Murph's newly released second studio album Sex Hysteria, is filled with raunchy lyrics. 'We'd go to church on a Sunday, wake up on Monday/You'd go to work and I'd stay home and sing and do fun things/I might get a little slap-slap, but you wouldn't hit me on Snapchat,' Murph sings. 'I think I'd give up a few rights/If you would just love me like it's 1965,' she also sings. The Post has reached out to Murph's reps for comment. In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, Murph spoke about the intense reactions her music evokes from fans. 'I'm glad that I make people have some sort of reaction. I'd rather them be like, 'I hate you,' or 'I love you,' rather than, 'I feel indifferently,' I guess,' the Alabama native stated. 'But still, I just find it f***ing weird … I don't have any hate in my heart … That's been something that I've been trying to figure out how to navigate and not react and get mad because it totally makes me be like, 'F**k you, b*tch,'' she added. Days after releasing her new album, Murph's performance to 1965 on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was similarly bashed by fans online. 'how dare anybody be comparing this to Amy … you should all be ashamed smh,' one fan wrote. 'everything about this feels like an SNL skit. how is this real,' another fan said. Murph was discovered by uploading vlogs and covers on TikTok and YouTube. She had her breakthrough with her 2021 single Always Been You, three years before releasing her debut studio album, That Ain't No Man That's the Devil. She's collaborated with Diplo, Maren Morris, Teddy Swims and more.

Taylor Swift films 'secret' music video so confidential even CREW couldn't hear the song
Taylor Swift has allegedly filmed a 'secret' music video in Los Angeles this week - with the project being so confidential that not even the crew were able to hear the full song. Swifties have eagerly been awaiting for the Grammy winner to drop new music, with her last album The Tortured Poets Department being released over a year ago. Earlier this month, some fans were sent into a frenzy as rumors sparked up that the songstress could possibly be dropping music once again - but with a surprising twist popping up. While Taylor, 35, has been spending the summer season with her NFL player boyfriend Travis Kelce - a source has now claimed to The U.S. Sun that she whisked herself to the West Coast to shoot a project. 'Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video,' the insider alleged. 'It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat.' has reached out to Taylor's rep for comment but did not hear back. The source further added, 'Even though she's been taking time off from touring and working a lot to spend time with Travis, there are still projects she's working on, which will no doubt please fans.' Social media users flocked over to X to share their thoughts over the 'secret' music video claims, with one penning, 'OMGGG WE ARE GETTING THAT ALBUM BY AUGUST???????' Another typed, 'NFL themed music video coming next year,' and a fan added, 'taylor swift cooking up a new mv? swifties eating GOOD this era.' One wrote, 'Excited for this! The secrecy around the beat-only shoot in LA has me hyped-Taylor's genius at building anticipation never fails!' while one X user predicted, 'She is announcing her new album soon.' 'QUEEN OF POP IS BACK,' a Swiftie said, and one wrote, 'Her comeback is going to break records.' It comes only weeks after rumors once again sparked up that the star could be releasing new music. HITS Daily Double initially alleged in a report last week that the Bad Blood singer could possibly be working on her 12th studio album under Republic Records. 'What's more, seismic rumblings of a new Taylor set keep the Republic team as aggressive as ever,' the outlet had published. Social media users flocked over to X to share their thoughts over the 'secret' music video claims, with one penning, 'OMGGG WE ARE GETTING THAT ALBUM BY AUGUST???????' Another typed, 'NFL themed music video coming next year,' and a fan added, 'taylor swift cooking up a new mv? swifties eating GOOD this era' However, an edit has since been made and altered to the simple line: 'And there's always Taylor,' while on the topic of other artists in the industry. But when the report was later changed, fans still grasped onto hope. 'So that must mean it's REALLY coming then and Tree told them to get rid of that! Omg Swifties GET UP!' one said, referencing to Taylor's publicist Tree Paine. 'They're definitely hiding something ... Taylor's next move incoming,' a social media user commented, as another added, 'Looks like Taylor's team is keeping us guessing new album vibes are definitely in the air.' Fans have been anticipating new music from Taylor amid her romance with Travis and after she dropped The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024. The LP was nominated for two Grammys - including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Last year in October, fans also went wild as they speculated the popstar would drop a surprise album at the time. The rumors began due to Joe Jonas and Shawn Mendes both postponing the release of their own music. A few months earlier in May, Taylor announced that she had bought back the rights to all of her music - and penned a heartfelt letter to her fans in celebration of the big milestone. Fans were quick to point out what they alleged to be Easter eggs in the lengthy message. Towards the top, the songstress had written: 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is a slideshow. 'A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for the chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.' Some Swifties said that when she wrote 'this,' she included a total of 12 i's - which they believed could possibly be a tease of her 12th studio album. Taylor gave a surprise performance at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville last month in June and some fans were convinced that she could maybe jump back to her country roots with new music. She belted out lyrics to her hit track Shake It Off - and listeners pointed out that she had gone back to her signature country twang. While Taylor has yet to confirm or announce new music herself, the music artist has been keeping busy. She recently appeared on her boyfriend's Instagram post this week as the Kansas City Chiefs tight end hard-launched their romance on the social media platform. Fans spotted a multitude of hidden details in the carousel of snaps - with some convinced that the singer is engaged to the NFL star. In one snap, the couple - who went public with their romance in September 2023 - posed while sitting at a table inside a restaurant. Some pointed out the lock screen on the professional football player's phone which showed him sweetly posing with Taylor during her Eras Tour. And others speculated that she was showing off an engagement ring on her hand. However, according to TMZ, the singer was wearing Travis' Super Bowl rings in the image instead. Taylor appeared in other photos shared by Travis, including one where they flashed big smiles towards the camera while standing outside in the snow. They were later joined by more pals and the couple also tested out their ice skating skills at a hockey rink. Some pointed out the lock screen on the professional football player's phone which showed him sweetly posing with Taylor during her Eras Tour. And others speculated that she was showing off an engagement ring on her hand In one image, Taylor and Travis could be seen cozying up together as they sported matching hats. Another picture was taken as the lovebirds gathered together with a group of close pals, and the performer sweetly draped her arm to caress his neck. On Tuesday, Travis was seen at training camp in Kansas City ahead of his 13th season with the NFL. But the stars have been able to spend quality time with each other before the official NFL season begins in September, such as enjoying time at an exclusive resort in Montana for Fourth of July.

Drake spotted filming at THREE different Manchester landmarks
Rapper Drake has featured three different Manchester landmarks in his latest video teasing the upcoming release of his new project Iceman. The Canadian megastar is in the city for a series of gigs at Co-Op Live, on July 25 and 26 and August 4 and 5 (rescheduled from July 28). His sojourn in the UK began in Birmingham on July 20, starting his Some Special Songs 4 U tour that will take him across Europe in August and September alongside fellow rapper Partynextdoor. READ MORE: Oasis fans shocked as Hollywood megastar seen enjoying opening Wembley Stadium gig READ MORE: Liam Gallagher makes 'promise' moments into Oasis Wembley stadium gig At the same time, he has been teasing new releases from his upcoming project, continuing with a surprise drop on July 25 of a new song Which One, a dance-hall flavoured tune featuring British rapper Central Cee. As well as bringing Central Cee out on stage at Friday's gig, the pair have been spotted filming a video together at an iconic Manchester landmark - Victoria Baths. In ICEMAN EPISODE 2, uploaded to Drake's YouTube channel on July 26, the rappers can be seen walking around the ornately tiled Edwardian interiors of the Grade II* listed baths on Hathersage Road. In another clip, the pair can be seen watching from the upper gallery as a black-clad dancer shimmies to their new tune around the empty pool below. On their Instagram page, the account for the baths shared some stills from the shoot, writing: "In the early hours of Thursday morning, we welcomed some very special guests. "Head over to Drake's YouTube to watch the recording of his live stream where our baths set the scene." But the baths aren't the only spot the rapper graced with his presence. After some moody shots of Manchester at night, the video begins with a shot of the Drake inside Sureshot Brewery, which operates from under one of the railway arches lining Sheffield Street. He is then seen exiting the brewery before walking away towards Travis Street. Sureshot also shared some stills from the video on their Instagram, writing in the caption: "Had a new brewer start last night. "Turned the chiller on, prepped the lines, locked up. Not sure he'll be back." But the most surprising location the artist chose to film from was Piccadilly Station. While arguably one of the icons of our city as it's the gateway in and out, it's not exactly known for its architectural splendour. In the clip, Drake enters the station via the taxi rank entrance and takes the lift up. The camera then follows him walking through the empty concourse - all lit up but eerily empty - before turning right onto the platforms and out of sight, with a backpack over his shoulder. A snippet uploaded to TikTok has earned more than 40,000 likes, with many taking to the comments to poke fun at the incongruous sight of the world-famous multi-millionaire walking around an ordinary British station in a hoodie and trainers. "Looks like he's going to Stockport," wrote one. "Where he off to, Huddersfield?" added another. "Wait til he finds out how long the walk to Platform 14 is," joked a third. "Drake dreams of being British," wrote user Maja. "Someone give this man a British passport," wrote another.
