Posted on by Zayna Taylor

“You Need to Calm Down” is the name of the song that made it public that their feud was over between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. This feud has been going on forever. Then Taylor Swift released her new video on Monday, June 17 and showed that the feud was no more. Taylor Swift said “Katy Perry is in the video and she and I definitely like have been on very good terms lately, but I don’t think anybody knew it. ’cause we just kind of reconnecting privately and just wanted to make sure that everything was really good with us and that it was like a very real before we let anyone know….”

This was a very emotional scene in the music video. Fans have gone crazy with the fact that they are friends again. I personally am super excited too. This means that there could be a possible collaboration in the future.

After the release of the song and the video her new album coming out in August has only been hyped up more. Who wouldn’t be excited though for her new album Lover. In the words of Taylor Swift “You Need to Calm Down” because everything good comes in time. We got what we were hoping for with them making up so there is all the hope that this album will be great.

The Jonas Brothers: Together Again

Posted on by Zayna Taylor

The Jonas Brothers, Kevin, Joe, and Nick, are a band that was raised in a Christian household with their father being a pastor. They all followed what they enjoyed though. Eventually what they enjoy was singing and they started singing together which they enjoyed. This led to them starting a band which they called The Jonas Brothers.

Their first album is called It’s About Time. Later on they were then dropped from Columbia Records. At the same time their father left the ministry due to the fact that the brothers were not consider upstanding Christians. A while later after moving to California they were signed to Disney and they took off. They released albums called, The Jonas Brothers, A Little Bit Longer, Lines, and Vines, and Trying Times.

In 2013 the band broke up and went their separate ways to do their own things and follow their dreams. Joe formed a band called DNCE. Nick went solo, and Kevin started a family. This year, in 2019, a documentary was released so that everyone could learn the history of the band. Nick was actually the one that broke up the band. He admitted to this is the documentary. They were all destroyed when this happened and they didn’t speak for a while. They all thought the band would go on forever.

Recently though in 2019 the band announced that they were once again getting back together. It is the happy ending everyone was looking for. Which fits because the name of their documentary is called Chasing Happiness. The Jonas Brothers then announced an album which is called Happiness Begins. These go through the ends and outs and the therapy they had to go through to be able to be brothers again let alone starting the band back up. No one thought it would happen but it did. That is why our Happiness Begins again.

Let’s find a place where happiness begins.
