Dave Hogan/ABA/Getty Images Taylor Swift caused her dad, Scott Swift, to start trending on Twitter after shouting him out in an adorable Father's Day tribute. "Happy Father’s Day to all the dads but mostly mine," the Grammy winner wrote before diving in a cute anecdote from a recent conversation of theirs. According to Taylor, her dad "called me yesterday to remind me he still has guitar picks from the Red Tour, ‘if they’re needed’." The revelation caused fans to demand that Scott release his stockpiled Red-era guitar picks, joking they are "From The Vault," a term Taylor coined when she re-released her Fearless album that included several never-before-heard tracks. The activity led to Scott Swift and "Papa Swift" to trend on Twitter in the U.S. on Sunday. On Friday, the "willow" singer surprised fans with news that she will be releasing Red (Taylor's Version) on November 19. The offering will include 30 tracks, including a 10-minute song that has fans buzzing could be..

Amy Sussman/FilmMagic Katy Perry wished her fiance Orlando Bloom a Happy Father's Day on Sunday by posting some footage that appears to have been filmed on the day that her "greatest gift" arrived: Their daughter Daisy Dove. "Happy first Father’s Day to to the healer of my heart and the giver of my greatest gift [Daisy Dove]," she captioned the video. "I love you WHOLE world." In the video, Orlando in a hospital gown, cap and mask, is sitting in a chair holding a boombox that's playing soothing music, which he hums along to. "Ready to bring her in, baby," he mumbles. Katy then turns the camera around to herself: She's lying in a hospital bed and laughing, with a mask around her neck. While Sunday was Orlando's first Father's Day as Daisy's father, he's been a dad for a while: He and his ex-wife Miranda Kerr share a 10-year-old son, Flynn. Demi Lovato reacted to the footage by writing, "Omg what a dream partner - I ship so hard. Y’all’s biggest ..

Rich Fury/Getty Images for dcp During her American Idol days, Gabby Barrett spoke a lot about how much her dad, Blase, a maintenance man for Goodwill, supported her career. He's the one who booked her gigs singing at fairs, parks, birthday parties, weddings and more when she was just a little kid. Now, ahead of Father's Day on Sunday, Gabby's sharing the best advice her father ever gave her. "One of things he taught me was to use negative as positivity. Especially going through school that was really, really important… and it helped me through so much," says the "I Hope" singer, who's also talked about how she was bullied as a student. "So, to use anything in life that comes at you in a negative way, to use it as a positive and to know that it’s happening for our good in the end," she adds. "So that would definitely be [the best advice]." Sunday will mark the first Father's Day for Gabby's husband, fellow American Idol finalist Cade Foehner. The two w..

Scott Barbour/TAS/Getty Images for TAS Sorry, Swifties: You were wrong this time. Taylor Swift fans were convinced that today, Taylor would announce that the next one of her old albums she'd re-record would be 1989. Well, they were right about the first part, but it turns out that the next "Taylor's Version" we'll get is 2012's Red. In a lengthy Instagram post, Taylor writes, "The next album I’ll be releasing is my version of Red. Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past." "Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators," she continues. "And I’m not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, o..

Francis Specker/CBS via Getty Images It's common for stars' hometowns to honor them with plaques and statues, but Harry Styles' hometown has decided to honor him with -- a spa day? The SpaSeekers spa booking service is now offering a Watermelon Sugar High Spa Day at the Abbey Hotel in Redditch, England, where the singer was born. Sadly, this doesn't mean that a Harry lookalike will give you a massage, but it's still pretty cool. For £72 -- just under a hundred bucks U.S. -- you get an "Adore You" 55-minute facial and a 25-minute watermelon, yuzu and pink beet full-body scrub. During the treatment, you'll listen to a curated Harry playlist and the air will be perfumed by the spa's special "Breathe Me In" candle, which allegedly smells like Harry. That means tobacco, essential oils and spices, honey and vanilla, apparently. You'll get to take one of the candles home, too, if you're one of the first 15 people to book. After the treatment..

Xavi Torrent/WireImage If anyone can relate to Billie Eilish’s rise to stardom as a young teen, it’s Lorde. The 24-year-old “Solar Power” singer opened up about their similar experiences in an interview with BBC Radio. “We have sent just a few little messages back in the day when she was very young. She’s so, so sweet,” Lorde says. “There’s only a handful of people who understand what that’s like, to be a teenager and have that level of scrutiny on your body and your brain.” Lorde adds that the two also have a similar support system, which she feels is key to managing sudden success when you’re that young. “Obviously she’s pretty close with her family, as am I, which I think is really helpful at that age when your world is changing,” she says. “Yeah, I mean the music is awesome. She’s just doing such a good job.” Both stars have new music on the way. Billie’s gearing up to release her sophomore album, Happier Than Ever, on July 30. Lorde just released her new single, “Solar Power..
