Taylor Swift name-checked Charlie Puth and the internet is debating it



CNN
 — 

Charlie Puth is a significant Swiftie and it seems the admiration could also be mutual.

Taylor Swift shouts out her fellow singer-songwriter within the title monitor on her new album, “The Tortured Poets Division.”

“You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate,” she sings within the love track. “We declared Charlie Puth must be an even bigger artist.”

Puth, identified for such hits as “One Name Away” and singing the hook on Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Once more, is well-documented in his musical appreciation of Swift.

Not solely has he been identified to cowl her songs whereas in live performance, however in 2022 a video of him praising her musicality made the rounds.

“Sidebar, this has nothing to do with something, however Taylor Swift is the queen of most of these chords,” he instructed attendees at his New York Metropolis live performance as he performed her track, “Teardrops on My Guitar.”

A part of the enjoyable of any Swift album launch is dissecting her lyrics and the Puth reference has stirred the Swifties.

One individual posted on X, “Charlie Puth, Underrated Legend. She is aware of. I do know,” becoming a member of a cacophony of these co-signing Swift’s obvious endorsement.

Scottish Cup: ‘Aberdeen & Celtic deliver exhausting, exhilarating classic semi-final’

In a time dominated by wind and rain and storm this and storm that, the solar got here out at Hampden on Saturday and the lads of Aberdeen and Celtic got here out to play – and play and play.

This was a Scottish Cup semi-final that gave you palpitations, a thrill-fest, a mad journey on a soccer rollercoaster that carried on and on. Has there been a greater cup recreation on this nation? Probably, however not many. Wherever this one resides, it unquestionably has a spot within the pantheon of greats.

Celtic made it via however solely after they fired stake after stake into an Aberdeen workforce that displayed monumental quantities of resilience. They have been behind twice throughout the recreation and recovered. They have been behind 5 instances within the penalty shootout and stored coming again till these fateful closing kicks.

How becoming {that a} cup tie that contained such character on each side was received in the long run by a person known as Hart. The Celtic goalkeeper bounced again from his miss within the shootout to make the save from Killian Phillips that settled it virtually three hours after it began.

At 1-0, Aberdeen seemed large and robust and a severe hazard to Celtic’s bid for a double. Trailing 2-1, they seemed finished and dusted. Then, from solely the Lord is aware of the place, they summoned their bench and located vitality and perception and menace. Junior Hoilett had two terrific probabilities to degree it, however could not. Poor Aberdeen. One other slim loss at Hampden.

However, lo, an equaliser and 2-2. An unimaginable twist. After which, lo once more, an opportunity for Adam Idah to win it, solely to be denied by a determined, and sensible, intervention by Jack MacKenzie. Into further time we went and, fairly frankly, if the gamers wanted a breather then so, too, did everybody watching this absorbing craziness.

The place do you start summarising it? There have been pages upon pages of info that advised you that Celtic have been profitable this semi-final and the heavy risk existed that they have been profitable it with ease.

It had been 24 video games for the reason that Dons had overwhelmed Celtic. From each groups, solely Callum McGregor was within the beginning line-up then and now. Andrew Considine scored the winner, which tells you one thing about how way back it was.

Since then it is 57-15 to Celtic. From 1-0 to 6-0 and each nil in between, Celtic have dominated Aberdeen and the expectation right here was for extra of the identical. Certain, it was a 1-1 draw the final they met again in February – however February had been a toil for Celtic with that draw towards the Dons and one other with Kilmarnock and two late, late wins towards Motherwell and Hibs.

Brendan Rodgers’ workforce have been in a significantly better place now. And Aberdeen? Bettering after the pantomime of Neil Warnock’s time, however not likely functioning as a threatening drive.

Bojan Miovski, the pedigree North Macedonia striker, had one purpose in 11 coming into this semi-final. One among Warnock’s extraordinary accomplishments was to show a terrific goalscorer right into a barren house. The striker has been making an attempt to rebuild himself in current weeks and, as Cameron Carter-Vickers and Liam Scales would in all probability testify, he is getting there.

It was Miovski who bought Hampden buzzing, Third minute, lovely ball from Leighton Clarkson in behind Carter-Vickers and a purpose. It was his twenty fourth of the season and his fifth towards the mixed may of the Glasgow Two.

Except the soccer scouts of European soccer have morphed into Mr Magoo, Miovski will depart Pittodrie in the summertime. It will take a hell of a payment, you observed. He is 24, a world participant and a category act. And, right here, he lit up this semi-final for a spell.

In that opening half, Celtic weren’t themselves. Pressed to distraction. Inaccurate of their passing. Struggling. They wanted the serving to hand – or tangled ft – of Angus MacDonald to get them degree.

It was a calamity for the captain, ransacked, as he was, by Kyogo after which punished by Nicolas Kuhn. Celtic settled and exerted management. James Forrest, the image of everlasting youth, got here off the bench within the 62nd minute and got here near scoring within the 63rd, then did rating a blink of a watch later.

Forrest fires mild up Celtic

James Forrest ‘has been reinvented beneath Rodgers’

Forrest has been essentially the most extraordinary Celtic participant, a man who got here into the workforce as an adolescent in Might 2010 and who has by no means needed to play for anyone else.

When he scored the type of purpose he is been scoring for his membership for 15 seasons in a row, the urge was to achieve for the file books to search out out what sort of historical past the winger is doubtlessly taking a look at this season, if his strike turned out to be the winner.

It was his 106th for Celtic. Till the Dons got here again from near-death, it seemed prefer it had arrange a bid for a twenty third trophy, which might put him on a par, in sheer numbers, with Billy McNeill and solely a pair behind Bobby Lennox.

Forrest’s first team-mates on that goalscoring debut towards Motherwell have been Morten Rasmussen and Edson Braafheid, Zheng Zhi and Marc-Antoine Fortune. What number of gamers has he seen come and go at Celtic Park? Consider all of the legions of wingers the membership has signed in these years, all these supposedly shiny younger issues who arrived to take his place. What number of instances has it been stated that his time was up, that he was too gradual, too overwhelmed up by harm?

He is nonetheless there, nonetheless contributing. Rodgers’ first spell was large for Forrest, the participant being nurtured and revived by the brand new supervisor to the purpose that Forrest performed his best stuff in these seasons.

Earlier than the supervisor’s return, Forrest as soon as once more seemed dispensable and as soon as once more he is been reinvented. Used sparingly, for positive, however nonetheless able to huge moments. There’d be one other on this semi-final quickly sufficient.

Earlier than it got here, although, there was mayhem. There was the jaw-dropper that was the Aberdeen equaliser, then the Idah shot and the MacKenzie block that had Hampden in awe of what was happening down there.

Into further time and the blows stored on being traded. Having scored the equaliser, Ester Sokler ought to may have made it 3-2. Minutes later, Forrest, having scored from the left was now a artistic drive on the fitting.

Forrest to Alistair Johnston to Matt O’Rliey and 3-2. Finished, certainly? Solely minutes to go. No, after all not. The Dons bought up off the canvas once more, had loud claims for a penalty turned down and carried on with a drive that Celtic could not comprise.

A villain of earlier than and now the hero – MacDonald nutted in to make it 3-3 and make sure this as one of many best Scottish Cup ties of all of them. Penalties now. Extra tremors. Extra thrills. A goalkeeper with cramp, one other goalkeeper given a chance to win it – and lacking.

After which Hart. ‘Tremendous Joe’ the Celtic followers chanted. It was wonderful they’d the vitality left of their our bodies. This was an exhausting, exhilarating basic, nothing much less.

Charlie Puth Was Mentioned On Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ & You Missed It

I’ve a confession to make: I by accident noticed a snippet of leaked lyrics from The Tortured Poets Division (TTPD) on X (previously often called Twitter) a day earlier than the album got here out. However they had been so random, so outrageous, and so meta that I figured they needed to be pretend. Now that TTPD has been launched and everybody’s basking in its glory, I can affirm that these lyrics are very a lot actual — and the well-known singer they name-drop is gonna get up to an entire lot of web “consideration.”

Followers speculate that observe 2 on the album, titled “The Tortured Poets Division,” is a glance into Taylor Swift’s short-lived relationship with The 1975’s frontman Matty Healy. Followers had a lot to say about Swift’s option to rebound from her six-year relationship with Joe Alwyn with Healy. Many puzzled what they may presumably have talked about with one another (they’ve bought fairly completely different vibes). Apparently, the reply is Charlie Puth. 

Within the second verse, Swift sings, “We declared Charlie Puth needs to be an even bigger artist.” I’m not gonna lie, I needed to pause the track and snicker. No shade to Charlie Puth — I solely laughed as a result of the shoutout jolted me out of The Tortured Poets Division and again into the actual world. Perhaps it’s simply my private choice, however any time Swift makes a reference that’s a bit too trendy (like her “I come again stronger than a ‘90s development” lyric in evermore’s “willow”), I cringe somewhat. 

I truly agree with Taylor and Matty about Puth’s stardom. It’s about time he rises within the ranks. He’s chargeable for among the largest bangers of the late 2010s (“One Name Away” dominated the radio in 2015). His music is fairly formulaic, however each infrequently, he’ll unleash his artistic genius. Who else would write a track that features a literal mild change sound?

Additionally, his skill to determine particular person music notes at any given time is critically spectacular. If Swift and Healy, two of the largest singers on the earth, say that Puth needs to be an even bigger artist, then he needs to be an even bigger artist.

Though the lyric feels random throughout the context of “The Tortured Poets Division,” shouting out Puth particularly isn’t that random. But it surely is complicated. In 2018, Puth confirmed to Billboard that he had a fling with Swift’s bestie, Selena Gomez. The 2 singers collaborated on the 2016 duet “We Don’t Speak Anymore” (which might be true given their historical past). Puth’s track “Consideration,” which was launched after their breakup, is alleged to be about Gomez.

In an interview with Genius, Puth defined that the track was about an ex who would invite him to sleep over however by no means truly slept with him, “which is completely effective. However after just like the fifth time of that occuring, I knew what she was doing.”

Does Swift know what went down between Puth and Gomez? Most likely. The truth that she references him implies that there’s no dangerous blood behind the scenes. It additionally implies that she’s useless severe about Puth being an even bigger artist.

Her shoutout has already spiked Google searches of his title, in line with Google Developments. He’s additionally trending on X, the place followers immediately made memes concerning the lyric.

Puth has but to touch upon the lyric, however I’m guessing that Taylor’s solely “one name away.”

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Arsenal: Mikel Arteta’s side return to top of Premier League

Every of Leandro Trossard’s final 4 Premier League objectives have been away from dwelling

Arsenal put their Champions League disappointment firmly previously to beat Wolves at Molineux and transfer again to the highest of the Premier League.

Having blown their likelihood to leapfrog Pep Guardiola’s facet six days in the past by dropping at dwelling to Aston Villa, then been knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich on Wednesday, it was a welcome triumph for Mikel Arteta’s males.

Leandro Trossard’s strike within the final minute of the opening interval might not have been probably the most eye-catching of the Belgian’s profession however it was completely timed.

It got here on the finish of a half the place Arsenal appeared to have gotten caught after a brilliant begin and practically fell behind to Gary O’Neil’s injury-ravaged facet.

The guests dominated the second half too however had been unable to carve out the clear probabilities that will have allowed them to take the sport out of attain.

Captain Martin Odegaard added the second deep into stoppage time on the finish of the sport, delivering from a decent angle after his preliminary cross had been blocked.

“I actually favored the efficiency, the consequence, the clear sheet,” mentioned Gunners boss Arteta. “However particularly the best way the group has individually proven that they nonetheless have one other step ahead to make and resilience that’s wanted in these moments to step in and say ‘I am right here, I am gonna make myself depend and impression the group’.”

The consequence means Arsenal at the moment are a degree away from Metropolis, with a greater purpose distinction however having performed a recreation extra.

They’ve the prospect to use some important strain to the defending champions after they entertain overwhelmed FA Cup semi-finalists Chelsea on Tuesday.

“In case you have a look at the quantity of video games we have performed in the previous couple of weeks, the sorts of video games that we’ve performed and the perspective and the best way they performed it is prime,” Arteta added.

“It is inside them. They wish to win, they wish to compete at their finest and their effort is unquestionable. The outcomes are one thing however I am actually glad for the strategy and the mentality of the group.”

Drained Wolves’ winless run continues

Wolves’ efforts had been recognised positively by followers who stayed behind their group all through – however when the season attracts to an in depth, how a lot will they remorse permitting Championship Coventry to overturn their injury-time lead of their FA Cup quarter-final at Molineux final month?

A Wembley semi-final this weekend would have lifted a season that has became a grind for O’Neil’s squad, who had been excellent for the primary two-thirds of the marketing campaign however now appear affected by an absence of vitality and our bodies.

Joao Gomes compelled David Raya to push his angled first-half effort on to a publish and substitute Mario Lemina examined the Arsenal keeper with a second-half shot.

However they had been sporadic moments of attacking invention, with Wolves’ finest performers being defenders, notably captain Max Kilman and Toti, who had been excellent on the coronary heart of the house facet’s rearguard motion.

On-loan Tommy Doyle was industrious for Wolves.

Nonetheless, they’ve now gone six video games with no win in all competitions, their longest run because the finish of the 2021-22 season.

Chairman Jeff Shi has repeatedly acknowledged the membership didn’t usher in reinforcements throughout the January window as a result of he was not ready to threat breaking the Premier League’s revenue and sustainability guidelines. Nonetheless, the sensation will linger that the choice price Wolves and O’Neil a practical shot at a prime half end.

‘Magician’ Trossard strikes the essential blow

Trossard has been out and in as an Arsenal participant since becoming a member of from Brighton in a £21m deal in January 2023.

The Belgian has nonetheless made extra substitute appearances than begins within the Premier League for the Gunners – and when issues aren’t going properly, he’s an apparent candidate to get replaced.

But he scores key objectives. Because the starting of final month alone, he has offered a winner in opposition to Porto within the Champions League, an equaliser within the dwelling leg of the quarter-final with Bayern Munich, and now his newest effort – which takes him to 14 for the season in all competitions. Solely Bukayo Saka has scored extra for the Gunners.

It was a scruffy effort, leaning again and on the stretch to get to Gabriel Jesus’ prodded move. However it floated proper into the highest nook, out of goalkeeper Jose Sa’s attain. It modified the complexion of a night that was beginning to get a bit nervy for the guests, who earlier than that had allowed Wolves again right into a recreation that they had initially dominated.

“He is somewhat magician,” mentioned Arteta. “He can rating with any service. He is a giant risk. So composed, so cool, he can play in several positions. It is only a pleasure to have him within the group.”

On the finish of a troublesome week, it was comprehensible Arsenal weren’t at their free-flowing finest.

Nonetheless, that they had probabilities. Kai Havertz swivelled neatly inside the realm in each halves. Nonetheless, on every event, the German despatched his shot straight at Jose Sa.

Declan Rice had 4 alternatives, together with a first-half shot he despatched fizzing simply huge and an injury-time effort that compelled Sa into an honest save. But, for all his apparent qualities, the England midfielder is but to enhance his objectives output, one thing he’s definitely able to.
