The love is strong for these 30 controversial country songs. The hate is strong, too.Country music’s biggest hitmakers took on sensitive social subjects in ways that became anthemic to one group of fans, while leaving another snarling.

😆😂🤣 Swift surprise-performed “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” during her first show in Seattle this weekend When it comes to Taylor Swift’s 2017 album Reputation, the song “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” — with lyrics such as “you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand” and “friends don’t try to trick you” — stands out as an almost-direct callout to Kanye West, and his yearslong feud with Swift. During her show at Seattle’s Lumen Field Saturday, the “Ready for It” singer performed the Reputation standout as one of her surprise songs — and…
The 35th edition of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week is officially underway, marking the return of the annual fan-favorite weeklong shark celebration. Shark Week began in 1988 as a fun means of educating audiences on the aquatic predator, counteracting the negative representations of sharks in popular culture that began with the seminal aquatic horror feature Jaws (now available to stream on Peacock). Jaws didn’t just make people afraid to go into the water; its massive blockbuster success inspired an enduring wave of “sharksploitation” horror that’s become a summer mainstay. Naturally, in celebration of Shark Week, this week’s streaming picks bring the aquatic terror. Shudder’s…
Mama’s broken heart can’t take this drama.New videos of Miranda Lambert interacting with a fan at a concert have surfaced one week after she drew controversy for chastising audience members for taking selfies. “Her shirt says, ‘Shoot tequila, not selfies,” the country star, who has been performing her Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency for the past few weeks, told the crowd in the new clips, which fans shared July 22. “She did it, I didn’t!” Miranda added, “That’s bada–.” She then accepted from the audience a mini tequila bottle, raised a toast and took a shot onstage before handing it to her guitarist, Ethan Ballinger. The musician posted one of the videos of the interaction…
Lee Greenwood is publicly defending Jason Aldean amid a firestorm of controversy over his “Try That in a Small Town” song and video. In an interview on Jesse Watters Primetime, the “God Bless the USA” singer says Aldean has been unjustly accused of racism.“I am a Jason Aldean fan. He is the biggest patriot, like a lot of us,” Greenwood says. “It has nothing to do with racism. This is about people trying to take away the freedom of expression. It is a great song. I wish I had it.”Aldean has been under fire for the song, which relies on…

In 2019, indie horror filmmaker Larry Fessenden reimagined Frankenstein with a contemporary lens in Depraved. His follow-up, Blackout, takes his exploration of classic movie monsters further with a unique take on the Wolf Man. Alcoholism and lycanthropy afflict an artist in Blackout, the title’s dual meaning apparent, but Fessenden takes it a step further by exploring the volatile nature of a community and the catastrophic yet absurdly funny toll a monster’s destruction wreaks on a small town. Talbot Falls artist Charley (Alex Hurt) is at a significant crossroads. His binge drinking has made a mess of his life and relationships, including former love Sharon (Addison Timlin) and…

T hroughout history, many experts have studied the dichotomy that seems to exist between fear and love. It’s easy to think about that when examining Juanes’ career: First, there was the innocence and passion of the Colombian star’s Ekhymosis era and his first years as a solo artist. Then came outstanding success, a deep bond with an enormous audience, and–this is quite logical – intense pressures over time. P.A.R.C.E., for example, was a record landed far from the expectations of audiences and the media, who were used to hits like “Fijate Bien,” “A Dios le Pido,” “La Camisa Negra,” “Me Enamora,”…
