Taylor Swift ‘almost’ quit music forever?

Taylor Swift almost quit music after her explosive feud with Kim Kardashian.
The popstar reportedly found herself at the center of social media firestorm in 2016, when Kardashian branded her a “snake” in viral tweet. However, this led to Swift questioning if she wanted to remain in the public eye.
One contributor to Channel 4’s upcoming two-part series claimed, “Taylor was moments from quitting,” as quoted by RadarOnline.
They added, “the level of vitriol after Kim’s tweet was staggering. Death threats were pouring in, her reputation was shredded overnight, and she felt there was no way to fight back.”
Meanwhile, a fan interviewed for the documentary shared, “She could have saved a million babies and solved world hunger, and it wouldn’t have mattered.”
Adding, “Once that snake narrative stuck, she was powerless. To have something of that magnitude go completely off the rails – there was no stopping it, no matter what she did.”
For those unaware, the feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian stemmed from the Blank Space singer’s tensions with the reality tv star’s then husband, Kanye West, who famously stormed the stage at the 2009 MTV VMAs.
However, Kardashain reignited the animosity with her tweet on “National Snake Day,” posting snake emojis that cemented Swift’s “snake” label across social media.

Inside Prince Harry’s emotional apology to King Charles: Source

Prince Harry has reportedly tried to mend his relationship with his father, King Charles, by offering an “apology.”
During the monarch and Harry’s recent private meeting in London earlier in September, the Duke of Sussex had made apologies for his and wife Meghan Markle’s hurtful behavior and it was an attempt to heal the years-long tension.
“This was the first occasion in a long time that Harry actually offered an apology,” a source close to the private chat told Radaroline.com.
“He acknowledged that some of his and Meghan’s public remarks had been hurtful. Whether Charles accepted it is unclear, but the exchange was certainly emotional.”
A second insider told the outlet that Meghan also joined the meeting via call marking their first chat in two years. Though they talked for a few minutes, the intention was to mend the broken bonds.
“The call was brief, but it carried weight,” a second source said. “Meghan told the King she wanted to see relationships repaired. Harry was eager to show them both that the family bond is still there and that it could be rebuilt, particularly for the children’s sake. He’s determined to make it feel like one united family again.”
Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla were not present during the private meeting of Harry and Charles
“Meghan’s call was more symbolic than substantial – no one believes a brief greeting can undo years of tension,” another senior insider told the publisher.
“Charles might be inclined to forgive, but it’s William Harry has to win over, and he isn’t shifting. And Camilla? She hasn’t forgotten the insults and has no interest in engaging.”

Sean Penn reveals unlikely bond with Bob Dylan in boxing ring

Bob Dylan appeared to be a major boxing fan, as Sean Penn shared he would show up at his home regularly to spar.
On the Monday, September 22, episode of The Tonight Show on Monday, Penn paid a visit to promote his new film One Battle After Another.
During the conversation at the late-night show, the 65-year-old actor spilled secret bond he and Bob Dylan had, sharing they were ring buddies and used to spar together — “more than once.”
“Bob Dylan, turns out, is a student of boxing, and I had a 16-foot punching ring at my house and I was friendly with his son,” Penn told Fallon of his spar with the rock icon.
“And at some point, Jesse, his son, said to me, ‘You know, my dad would like to spar.’ “
Penn further shared that Dylan then started coming over regularly.
“Sorry Bob, if I’m talking out of school,” he apologized to Dylan if he was oversharing about his personal life, noting he would show up every morning for about a month.
“That went on for about a month, I think. About seven or eight o’clock in the morning, with his hoodie on and about six bull mastiffs coming out of a VW van. There wasn’t a lot of conversation, it was kind of like ‘Good? Good.’ And we’d spar,” Penn added.
