Mariah Carey is enjoying renewed positive attention after releasing the deluxe 25th-anniversary edition of her 1994 holiday-themed album Merry Christmas. The double-disc edition features the original 11-tracked songs including hits such as “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/Gloria In Excelsis Deo)”, “Silent Night,” “Jesus Oh What A Wonderful Child,” and of course “All I Want For Christmas Is  You.” The second disc features remixes, classic renditions of the album’s biggest songs that she performed over the years, including several versions that were performed live at the Cathedral of St. John The Divine, and a few collaborations. In addition to the album’s release, Mariah Carey is kicking off the “All I Want For Christmas Is You” tour on November 22, 2019, and has been photographed after meeting Millie Bobby Brown, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds.

At a time when people were taking Jesus out of Christmas and fighting over whether people should say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, Mariah dropped Merry Christmas and was backed by a choir that harmoniously sang Jesus’ name throughout the entire album. Mariah’s Merry Christmas album was practically a statement that there are many Christians left in the world who want to celebrate Christmas without dealing with political correctness.

Songs from the album were sung in churches worldwide while the secular track “All I Want For Christmas Is You” topped charts and remained one of the top requested and most played Christmas songs on radio stations for the past 25 years.

As Mariah continues to perform, several celebrities have come to see her. Mariah has shared photos of herself and her children, Monroe and Moroccan Cannon with Millie Bobby Brown, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds on her Instagram page. You may see those photos below.

The Merry Christmas 25th-anniversary deluxe edition didn’t remove Jesus or Christmas from the album and fans are thankful for that.

There are some collaborations such as the So So Def Remix of “All I Want For Christmas Is You” with Jermaine Dupri and Lil Bow Wow.

Also included on the album is the song “When Christmas Comes” which is a duet with John Legend.

Taylor Swift dropped the new “Lover” remix with Shawn Mendes and now some think Shawn’s girlfriend Camila Camello is jealous. The duo dropped the remix on November 13, 2019, and the song went viral immediately. “Lover” is the title track of Taylor’s seventh album that has earned her positive critical reviews as the singer continues to grow, mature as an artist, and write about her journey through life and womanhood.

With Reputation, Taylor began to embrace her sexuality and sensuality and many feel that was her first album where she presented herself as an adult woman. Lover covers many topics including LGBTQ rights and politics, but at its core, it’s an expression of love that is more mature than previously explored on Taylor’s previous albums.

As Taylor Swift gained a reputation for writing songs about bad breakups and many of her songs have sent devoted fans into a frenzy trying to decipher who they were written about, Lover takes a more positive look at love through Taylor’s eyes.

Taylor is romantically paired with British actor Joe Alwyn and Shawn Mendes has been dating Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello. While some are spreading gossip that Taylor and Shawn are expressing romantic feelings toward each other in the song, there is nothing to suggest those rumors are true.

It’s more likely that Shawn was singing the song to Camila Cabello.

You may hear the audio, lyric video for Taylor Swift “Lover” remix featuring Shawn Mendes below.

Taylor explained that everyone would write a different love letter to their lover and she loved Shawn Mendes’ take on the song. Here are the lyrics that Shawn Mendes changed.

“We can light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen, baby.
Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall.
We would sit on the stoop, I’ll sing love songs to you when we’re eighty
See I finally got you now, honey, I won’t let you fall.”

Shawn Mendes also changed the following words to Lover.

“Look in my eyes, they will tell you the truth.
The girl in my story has always been you.
I’d go down with the Titanic, it’s true, for you, lover.”

Well guys it finally happened: WE DID A COLLABORASHAWN. Sending out a whole entire THANKS BUDDY to @ShawnMendes rn –
I’m so stoked that our remix of Lover is out NOW!https://t.co/BOxfgBKv1a pic.twitter.com/0dFyd1Lk5O

Fantasia Barrino is burning up the Internet with a series of sexy photos where she is playing basketball.

The singer, who had a show in New Orleans, opted for a tight red bodysuit that made her look like a hot Mrs. Santa Claus.

The diva, who has been working out, showed off her toned body and impressive curves as she played ball like a pro.

The mom of two captioned the pictures: “Soooooo! Today we have a Show in New Orleans and are here at the University of New Orleans. They were practicing and gladly paused to let me play so, do you think I made this shot? I Think I’m Ready To Show Out Tonight🤜🏾🤛🏾 what up #0 from CHARLOTTE NC.”

One fan, who is drooling over the pictures of Kendall Taylor’s wife, said: “Omg, that body! 😭🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 DAT AS$ DOE!!!!!!😍😍😍😍”

Another follower stated: “Whether you made it or not, those boots!!!!🔥” This supporter wrote: “I know you are a married woman, but damn!!!”

The American Idol champion is currently promoting her chart-topping album, Sketchbook, and she shared this about the project: “It’s a different feeling now. The way I sing it now, I know there’s someone in the audience who may be going through that. I went through that! I had my process. I sing it loud, and I sing it proud, and I sing it with a meaning, and I sing it with a feeling. I used to sing it in pain. I’m no longer in pain.”

Like a talented boss lady, Fantasia has gone independent — she said this about the move: “It’s been a massive journey of so many great and bad things, but all necessary. So now (I’m) doing it independently, the way I’ve always wanted to do it, starting over from scratch, going back to ground zero. I felt like that little girl, again, who was doing it over, this time the right way.”

She also spoke about her last tour and what comes after: “Not done with music. But God has some great things for me, and I know that it’s more than music — it’s books, it’s movies, it’s clothing. I’ve got to get out here to be present with people and showing them love and how you can fall down but get back up.
“So yeah. I’ve got a story to tell.”

Fantasia is winning wherever she goes, and her fans are here for all of it.
