T-Swift Pop Up Bar: 

Chicago is to be the home of a new Taylor Swift-themed bar. Electric Garden, a bar located in Chi-Town's West Loop neighborhood, is remaking itself into a pop-up venue based on T-Swift's hit Bad Blood. The bar's general manager Alex Vazquez said the Swift song, which is about a bad break up, was the perfect ode to all the anti-Valentine's Day patrons. Drinks at the pop-up will be named after some of her biggest hits, and the brunch menu will be shaped around some of Swift's favorite foods — like Fruity Pebbles french toast.

SZA's SOS

New Jersey's very own SZA is starting the year off the winning way. For the sixth-straight week her SOS album took the top spot on Billboard's Hot 200. SZA joins Janet Jackson's janet as the only other album by a woman R&B artist to have spent at least the first six weeks at number one. In the last decade, only two other women have achieved the six-week stay: Adele and Taylor Swift.
