Taylor Swift's Brother Austin Swift Getting Into Acting!


TWITTER
Taylor Swift's younger brother Austin Swift is getting into acting! Austin revealed to fans on Twitter:
"Acting in a play that opens at Notre Dame Wednesday, thought you guys might be interested."
Austin has a role in the school's production of "Six Characters in Search of an Author." The play is about six actors who interrupt a rehearsal with their thoughts on how the unfinished play should be written.
If you want to see Taylor's brother try his hand at acting you can purchase tickets online for the shows running Wednesday - Sunday at the University of Notre Dame's DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
We're curious if Austin plans on taking his love of acting one step further, and trying out for films or Broadway plays after he graduates. We would LOVE to see Austin act alongside his big sis in an upcoming movie! What about YOU?

Fifth Harmony Forced To Perform Without Camila Cabello


INSTAGRAM
Fifth Harmony was forced to perform without member Camila Cabello, and it caused the other four members a lot of stress leading up to the concert! Camila was in the hospital over the summer, and her fellow group members had to figure out a way to make their performance rock even though they were one member short.
Below you can go behind-the-scenes on tour with Fifth Harmony as they find out they have to perform without Camila. Here's what the ladies posted along with the video:
"Camila is very sick and goes to the hospital. The girls have to rearrange all their dances and vocals last minute. This is very challenging and stressful but the girls pull through! Let us know how you would handle this situation!"
Fingers crossed all of the members of Fifth Harmony stay healthy, and this doesn't have to happen again!

Is Selena Gomez Losing Her Friends Because of Justin Bieber?


Even though Selena Gomez has been making an effort to focus on her career, her Justin Bieberdrama still won't stop! According to Radar Online, the "Come and Get It" singer is annoying her friends because she is still in love with her ex.
“Everyone is really sick of hearing the same old story. Nothing changes with them. She gets back with him, he lies, he gets caught, she gets upset and then tries to make him jealous. She needs to just let go!” their source said.
In fact, even though she was spotted hanging out with Orlando Bloom, she's definitely not interested in him, or anybody else.
“She is absolutely not into Orlando because she is still obsessed with Justin and always will be," the source added.
While we definitely believe that there is nothing going on between her and the actor, we don't think that her friends would totally abandon her. Jelena may have a crazy confusing relationship status, but many of her friends have stuck by her throughout the drama. For instance, even though Taylor Swift was rumored to have ditched her friend because of Justin, it turns out they never actually fought.
Still, it looks like Selena is not the only one going crazy over their breakup. We hear that the "Girlfriend" singer is heartbroken too! Since their on-again, off-again relationship is full of so many ups and downs, we can't decide whether they're happier together or apart. Do you think that Selena should let go of Justin or should they get back together?

INSTAGRAM
Selena Gomez and her mom Mandy Teefy have teamed up with actor Kevin Spacey and his production company Trigger Street to create a brand new project. It's currently unclear if Selena will star in the TV show or movie that is in the works, or if she will just be working behind the scenes as an executive producer.
Kevin sent out the following note about Selena working with his production company and his co-founder Dana Brunetti:
"Excited to see that @Selena Gomez is developing a project with @TriggerStreet and @DanaBrunetti!"
Selena and her mom are working on the project through their brand new TV and film production company Kicked To The Curb. Which would you rather see from Selena - a new TV show, or a new movie?

Taylor Swift Reveals Why Her Girlfriends Come First


INSTAGRAM
Taylor Swift appeared on The Talk last week to discuss the release of her 1989 album. During her time on the show Taylor was questioned about her girlfriends, and how she spends so much time with them rather than hunting for a boyfriend. Taylor responded that her girlfriends are her family now, and she wouldn't want it any other way. Check out what was shared along with the video clip below from The View,
"Taylor Swift discusses her love life taking a backseat to her girlfriends these days. Swift says, 'There is just a bigger priority on the women in my life now. They have taken the place of absolutely any other kind relationship that I used to prioritize. They're my family now.'
That's so sweet! We bet Taylor's friends are quite happy about what she said during her interview. However, it sounds like some of Tay's besties are still trying to set her up on dates!

Taylor Swift's Spotify Decision Is Causing Major Controversy


Everyone is going crazy over Taylor Swift's new 1989 album, but she's also causing major drama amongst her fans! Swifties are furious that she decided to pull her entire music catalogue off Spotify, from "Shake It Off" to "Tim McGraw."
While she hasn't spoken up about her decision yet, the singer previously wrote in the Wall Street Journal that she didn't think music should be played for free.
“It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is," she said. "I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.”
While we understand her decision, we also miss being able to listen to her music online! We hope she knows that we value her music — we're seriously obsessed with 1989.
Of course, the streaming music service is a little bummed about her decision as well, responding in the most perfect way (one that references her song "Love Story").
"Taylor, we were both young when we first saw you, but now there’s more than 40 million of us who want you to stay, stay, stay. It’s a love story, baby, just say, Yes." We'll have to wait and see if she does! Do you think Taylor should have pulled all her music off Spotify?
