Watch Taylor Swift jam out to Dreams with Beck and St. Vincent

By

This week, Beck and St. Vincent joined a long list of celebs that pop superstar Taylor Swift has brought out for her 1989 arena tour. The three sang together on Beck’s recent electropop jam Dreams during a Swift performance in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The appearance was probably the first time many T-Swift fans had heard either of the artists live, but that didn’t stop the young mega star from bringing the artists onto the Staples Center stage to open the ears of her rabid fan base to a different kind of pop hitmaker.

“Getting to play ‘Dreams’ with Beck and St. Vincent is something I’ll remember forever,” said Swift in a tweet after the performance. “I can’t even express it.” St. Vincent added similar sentiments in a tweet: “Had the most MAGIC time with the most brilliant venerable Taylor Swift and Beck tonight. #DreamsComeTrue”

Fan-shot videos have shown the unlikely combo run through most of Beck’s song without a hitch, but the clear winner of the collaboration was Annie Clark. Clark (St. Vincent) shredded a solo amidst pyrotechnics — and even Swift herself was impressed. “There is nothing cooler than St. Vincent soloing while pyro goes off in the background. #1989TourLA,” she said via another tweet (above).

Beck and St. Vincent are just the latest of Swift’s guests, a celeb-laced list that shows the depth of her rolodex. Other on-stage guests this tour have included Alanis Morissette (yes, they sang You Oughta Know together), John Legend, Natalie Maines, Fetty Wap, and even comedians Ellen DeGeneres and Chris Rock.

Taylor Swift’s 1989 world tour, which began in May, continues through December. And, unsurprisingly, it’s a huge money maker: her first 20 performances in the U.S. and Canada grossed $86.2 million according to Billboard. Upcoming for Swift are a string of U.S. and Canadian dates through the end of October before she hits Asia and Australia in November and December.

What is spatial audio? The 3D sound experience fully explained
Person listening to spatial audio using Apple AirPods Max headphones.

Since Apple added “spatial audio” to the Apple Music streaming service and the AirPods family of wireless earbuds and headphones in 2021, it feels like you can’t read about new audio products or services without running into that term. And just a few short years later, it’s seemingly everywhere.

This has led to a lot of misconceptions about what spatial audio is, how it works, and why you need to hear it for yourself. People often ask, “If Apple created spatial audio, why are other companies claiming they do it, too?” The answer is that Apple didn’t create it, and you certainly don’t need to own its products to experience spatial audio.

If you’re a huge music fan, you’ve probably combed through the many playlists, artists, and albums of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription. But what about all the indie artists of the world? Some music-streaming platforms are better than others at celebrating the
‘unsung gem’ acts, but one of the most reliable forums for new, off-the-grid tunes is SoundCloud.

Founded in 2007, SoundCloud has always prioritized music that’s a bit under the radar. With over 320 million tracks in its library, the platform will even let you download a majority of its songs and albums.

The best kids headphones of 2024: for fun, safety, and sound
Two kids using the Puro Sound PuroQuiet Plus to watch something on a tablet.

Kid-friendly consumer tech is all the rage these days, so it’s no surprise that there’s an entire market of headphones designed exclusively for young ones. But when we think “kid-friendly,” sometimes we imagine products that are built to be a bit more throwaway than their adult counterparts. That’s not the case with the products on our list of the best headphones for kids, though.

We want our child-tailored headphones to include parental-controlled volume limiters, to ensure our children aren’t harming their eardrums. Pretty much every entry on our list checks this vital box, but we also wanted to point you and yours toward products that offer exceptional noise-canceling, built-in mics for phone and video calls, and long-lasting batteries for schooldays or a long flight.
