Here's the Scoop...

Taylor Swift is sharing the track names from her new album. Oh, goodie gumdrops!

The 32-year-old actress announced "Mastermind," the 13th and final track from her forthcoming album, Midnights, in a TikTok video Tuesday.

Swift presented the news as the new show Midnights Mayhem with Me. She told fans she will let "fate" decide which track names are announced by choosing random numbers from a bingo ball cage.

"I know that I have a habit of dropping cryptic clues and Easter eggs when giving you information about my music, and I'm not here to deny that. But I am here to defy that," the singer said.

Swift announced in August that she will release Midnights, her 10th studio album, on Oct. 21. The singer showed that Midnights will have two sides and 13 tracks but did not share the song titles.

"This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams," the singer said.

"Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out October 21," she added.

Midnights will mark Swift's first new album since Evermore, released in December 2020. She released Red (Taylor's Version), a rerecorded version of her 2012 album Red, in November.

Be Well,
Steve

Roseanne Barr's first stand-up special in 16 years to stream on FOX Nation

FOX Nation has announced plans to air Roseanne Barr's first stand-up comedy show in 16 years.

The hour-long program, A Roseanne Comedy Special, is set to premiere in early 2023.

"Roseanne is a comedy icon whose humor connects with the American audience like no other," Jason Klarman, president of FOX News' streaming platform, said in a statement Tuesday.

"Her ability to channel the challenges of everyday people and find the humor in it all has earned her the passionate following of millions of dedicated fans. We are thrilled to add her comedy special exclusively to the FOX Nation catalog."

Barr, 69, is best known as the creator and star of the classic sitcom, Roseanne, which ran 1988-97 and earned four Emmys, three Golden Globes and a Peabody Award.

The show was revived in 2018 and became a ratings hit, but Barr was ousted from the cast after making a controversial joke on Twitter. She apologized for the offense, but has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years.

The series was re-branded as The Conners and is starting its fifth season Wednesday.

Zach Shallcross to be Season 27 'Bachelor'

Zach Shallcross, a front-runner in Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia's season of The Bachelorette, has been announced as the new Bachelor.

Host Jesse Palmer made the announcement Tuesday night during the season finale of The Bachelorette.

Shallcross, 26, is a California native and works as a tech executive.

"There's no words. I'm just taking this in right now. . . this is pretty incredible," he replied when Palmer asked how he felt about being the next Bachelor. "I'm obviously really nervous but honestly this is once-in-a-lifetime, awesome, incredible opportunity."

Shallcross was in love with Recchia and made it to the Final 3 during the Bachelorette. Their heartbreaking split was a surprise to fans of the show.

Shallcross said he spent a lot of time with family and took time to figure out what he wants after the show.

"And I also went to the gym a lot," he said.

Shallcross said he is ready to "find his best friend and walk away with someone for the rest of my life."
