Zach Bryan has been lighting up the Billboard charts with his album American Heartbreak and songs including “Something in the Orange,” and criss-crossing the United States on his American Heartbreak tour. Along the way has been building a reputation as an artist who also listens closely to his fans.
On Oct. 26, Bryan took to Twitter to state that he was planning to lower the price of the merchandise sold at his concerts.
“I just learned how expensive the merch was last night,” he said on Twitter. “A hoodie for 60 to 70 dollars is too much and I’m fixing it now. Thank you guys so much for being such a good and kind and rowdy crowd.”
Fans began chiming, with one saying, “I paid 45 bucks for a t shirt.. I wasn’t not gonna buy one but 45 bucks?? dang man,” to which Bryan responded, “I JUST learned how much they were. It’s fixed and I apologize.”
After another Twitter user noted that they would gladly pay $70 if he allowed his merch to be sold online in addition to at his concerts, Bryan responded, “no no no they’ll be 45 at most, 70 is absolutely heinous as hell and and anyone selling hoodies for that amount have completely desensitized from the world.”
His fans quickly responded with sentiments of gratitude for the singer-songwriter’s swift response, with comments. “I love how humble you are and how you put your fans first. you’ll always have our respect and support,” said one Bryan fan.
After his debut major label full-length album American Heartbreak debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s top country albums chart in June, Bryan quickly followed with the release of the EP Summertime Blues in July. His song “Something in the Orange” reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, and he’s notched just over a dozen entries on the chart, including “Highway Boys,” “Oklahoma Smoke Show” and “Burn, Burn, Burn.”
Taylor Swift‘s followed up the excitement of her Midnights release by dropping the instrumental version of “Question…?”
According to initial reports to Luminate, the album has earned more than 1.4 million equivalent album units in the U.S. through its first five days of release (through Oct. 25).

(I remember)
Good girl, sad boy, big city, wrong choices
We had one thing going on
I swear that it was something ’cause I don’t remember who I was
Before you painted all my nights a color I’ve searched for since
But one thing after another f—ing situation
Circumstances, miscommunications
And I have to say, by the way
I just may like some explanations
Can I ask you a question?
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room?
And every single one of your friends was making fun of you
But fifteen seconds later they were clapping, too?
Then, what did you do?
Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? (Oh)
Did you wish you’d put up more of a fight? (Oh)
When she said it was too much
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It’s just a question
Half-moon eyes, bad surprise, did you realize?
Out of time, she was on your mind
With some di–head guy that you saw that night
But you were on something
It was one drink after another, f—ing politics and gender-roles
And you’re not sure and I don’t know got swept away in the gray
I just may like to have a conversation
Can I ask you a question?
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room?
And every single one of your friends was making fun of you
But fifteen seconds later they were clapping, too?
Then, what did you do?
Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? (Oh)
Did you wish you’d put up more of a fight? (Oh)
When she said it was too much
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It’s just a question
Does it feel like everything’s just like second-best after that meteor strike?
And what’s that, that I heard, that you’re still with her?
That’s nice, I’m sure that’s what’s suitable
And right, but tonight
Can I ask you a question? (Can I ask you a question?)
Did you ever have someone kiss you in a crowded room? (In a crowded room)
And every single one of your friends was making fun of you? (Making fun of you)
But fifteen seconds later they were clapping, too?
Then what did you do? (Do)
Did you leave her house in the middle of the night? (Oh)
Did you wish you’d put up more of a fight? (Oh, more of a fight)
When she said it was too much
Do you wish you could still touch her?
It’s just a question

Taylor Swift called on her friends Haim, Laura Dern, Jack Antonoff and Dita Von Teese for her dazzling Cinderella-inspired music video for “Bejeweled,” featured on her 10th studio album, Midnights.
“Midnight, what a storied and fabled hour… On this sparkling evening I’ll be releasing my twist on a fairytale we all know. The one about the girl and her step sisters and the clock striking 12…” she captioned her announcement of the video, featuring a photo of herself as the fairytale princess, sitting in a dark room wearing a worn down dress while sewing a glittery, midnight blue gown. “This video is wild, whimsical and created SPECIFICALLY for you, my beloved fans who have paved this shimmering path.”
If you need a guide to follow along with Taylor Swift’s “Bejeweled,” find the lyrics below:
Baby love, I think I’ve been a little too kind
Didn’t notice you walking all over my peace of mind
In the shoes I gave you as a present
Puttin’ someone first only works when you’re in their top five
And by the way, I’m going out tonight
Didn’t notice you walking all over my peace of mind
In the shoes I gave you as a present
Puttin’ someone first only works when you’re in their top five
And by the way, I’m going out tonight
Best believe I’m still bejeweled when I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band, they ask, “Do you have a man?”
I can still say, “I don’t remember”
Familiarity breeds contempt, don’t put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes, I polish up real, I polish up real nice (nice)
Baby boy, I think I’ve been too good of a girl (too good of a girl)
Did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve
I think it’s time to teach some lessons
I made you my world, have you heard?
I can reclaim the land
And I miss you (I miss you), but I miss sparkling (ah, hey)
Best believe I’m still bejeweled when I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band, they ask, “Do you have a man?”
I can still say, “I don’t remember”
Familiarity breeds contempt, don’t put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes, I polish up real, I polish up real nice (nice)
Sapphire tears on my face, sadness became my whole sky
But some guy said my aura’s moonstone just ’cause he was high
I went dancin’ all night and you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What’s a girl gonna do? A diamond’s gotta shine
Best believe I’m still bejeweled when I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer (shimmer)
And when I meet the band, they ask, “Do you have a man?”
I can still say, “I don’t remember”
Familiarity breeds contempt, don’t put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes, I polish up real (nice), I polish up real nice
I went dancin’ all night and you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What’s a girl gonna do? What’s a girl gonna do? I polish up nice
Best believe I’m still bejeweled when I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer

Taylor Swift took fans deep into her mind with the release of “Anti-Hero,” off her freshly dropped 10th studio album, Midnights.
Swift previously called the track “one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” as she’s never “delved this far into my insecurities in this detail before.”
“I struggle a lot with the idea that my life has become unmanageably sized,” she continued. “Not to sound too dark, but I just struggle with the idea of not feeling like a person — don’t feel bad for me, you don’t need to. But this song really is a real guided tour through all the things I tend to hate about myself; we all hate things about ourselves.”
If you need a guide to follow along with Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” find the lyrics below:
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis (I’ve realized all this time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
‘Cause you got tired of my scheming
For the last time
It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me
At tea time, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I’m a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman? (I’ve realized all this time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
And life will lose all of its meaning
For the last time
It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)
At tea time, everybody agrees
I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero
I have this dream my daughter in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers around and reads it and someone screams out
“She’s laughing up at us from hell”
It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me
It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me
It’s me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees
It’s me, hi (hi), I’m the problem, it’s me (I’m the problem, it’s me)
At tea (tea) time (time), everybody agrees (everybody agrees)
I’ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero
