You know symbolism is all about Taylor Swift and here to dive into this and other entertainment news is Lamar Dawson. He is a radio host and pop culture expert Lamar very good to talk to you about all this. It has been such a busy and exciting time for Swifties within the past month alone we got an engagement engagement and album album. Exactly, but she keeps feeding the Swifties she never stops. That's why her fans love her so much. You're 52 aren't I am? Do you get the tickets yet? You know I didn't realize they were going on sale right now immediately, but from my understanding people have already snapped. They crashed the site. They crashed AMC. Yes, so it's really exciting. So it's 89 minutes as you mentioned. They'll see the music video for fatal Ophelia plus behind the scenes of the making of the album there. Videos for the other singles on the album as well. Plus her inspiration behind the record too. So it's really cool because it harkens back to the days where she would talk to her fans and tell them about what her inspiration was, what goes into it. They love those Easter eggs. They love hearing from Taylor and she's giving it to them, especially because so much of this album likely came together during the Ares tour, right? Totally so get the cardigans back out and then bring them to the theater to watch the show. Perfect for fall. OK, so Taylor Swift, not the only one with a movie announcement to talk about here, right? I know everyone's been talking about the summer. I turned pretty. We're going to get a movie movie, so they're going to wrap up the show via the movie so we don't know all the details unless you read the books you know if you know you know, but they're going to go do the movie and we don't know the details just yet about when it comes out, but they're going to. We know that belly and Conrad will continue their relationship in some way. If you know, you know, in the movie spoil something right there. No, OK, I don't think so. No, we do if you want. You should have watched it by now, so we do know that they further their relationship somehow via the movie. That's what we do now. Disclaimer disclaimer. Alright, whatever from screen to stage. Yes, let's talk about Dreamgirls. Dreamgirls first ever revival. Yes, so of course the show came out back in 1981 ran to 1985 and then of course that gave us Sheryl Lee Ralph, who's still killing it. We have an elementary Loretta Divine, Jennifer Holiday, that amazing. And I'm telling you big song. And then of course it came to movie in 2006 with Beyonce. Jennifer Hudson won the Oscar from that, but now they're bringing it back to Broadway, so folks have been practicing that song in their showers or on TikTok. Now is there a chance they're looking for women of all sizes, all ages across the globe to fill these iconic roles. It's going to be such a cultural moment, right? Oh 1000% Lamar Dawson. Thank you very much for joining me time.
