We all know Taylor Swift adores her fans ... but she did admit when she feels a bit weirded out by them ... when they act like her songs are paternity tests!

The pop superstar shared the tidbit during an interview with The New York Times, published Tuesday, about her songwriting. During the discussion, she addressed the "corners" of her fanbase who "take things to a really extreme place" as they try to assign her songs to a real-life person.

She explained ... "When it gets a little bit weird for me is when people act like it's sort of a paternity test, like, 'This song's about that person.' Because I'm like, 'That dude didn't write the song, I did.'"

Too Much Info's gotta confession … and you might get FOMO!

Over the weekend, Madonna fully gagged everyone -- and when we say everyone, we mean everyone! She surprised club-goers with a "CLUB CONFESSIONS" party -- celebrating her highly anticipated upcoming album "Confessions II," arriving July 3.

The night was filled with celebs -- Addison Rae, Julia Fox, Lushious Massac, Sky Ferreira, Lily Allen, Lola Young, Cara Delevingne, Kali Uchis, and Bebe Rexha.

The LGBTQ+ icon transformed the night into "CLUB CONFESSIONS" -- joining club owner Tristan Schukraft and MISTR to celebrate the club's newly expanded dance floor -- with Madonna and longtime collaborator Stuart Price debuting the new music as the night’s biggest moment.

Billie Eilish is breaking her silence on rumors she and her brother and collaborator Finneas had a falling out ... she says it's a bunch of baloney!

The singer cut straight to the point on those rumors during an interview for ELLE's May 2026 issue, saying ... "Finneas and I have never and will never have a falling-out, ever in our lives. We'll get in the biggest f***ing fight you've ever heard of in your life … and five minutes later, we're back, laughing and making music."

The "Birds of a Feather" hitmaker even went as far as saying she "might literally never make a song again" if she were to never see her big bro again.

Dylan Carter -- a singer from South Carolina who once competed on "The Voice" -- was killed in a car crash Saturday ... and TMZ has learned his cause of death.

The Colleton County coroner tells us ... the 24-year-old died of blunt force injuries sustained in the violent crash ... and his death has been ruled accidental. It was noted that Dylan was wearing his seatbelt.

Law enforcement told TMZ ... a 2026 Tesla sedan was traveling southbound on U.S. Route 21 in South Carolina just after 11 PM when it veered off the road, striking a pole and a fence, before rolling. The driver was the only person in the car ... they succumbed to their injuries at the hospital. The coroner confirmed Dylan was the driver.

Dr. Dre and Michelle Saniei have the internet doing a serious double take ... because new photos of the two have fans convinced they might be an item.

The 61-year-old music mogul and the 37-year-old Bravo star from "The Valley" were spotted leaving Nobu Malibu over the weekend ... they were holding hands!!!

Michelle's love life has already been front and center of her hit show "The Valley" -- from her marriage to Jesse Lally to her more recent relationship with Aaron Nosler -- and she's also been linked to a few names in the Los Angeles social scene.

Off camera, she's a high-end real estate agent known for selling multimillion-dollar homes, so she's no stranger to being around the rich and famous.

Dylan Carter -- a singer from South Carolina who once competed on "The Voice" -- was killed in a car crash Saturday ... and now we have a better idea of how the tragedy occurred.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... a 2026 Tesla sedan was traveling southbound on U.S. Route 21 in South Carolina just after 11 PM when it veered off the road, striking a pole and a fence, before rolling. The driver was the only person in the car ... and they succumbed to their injuries at the hospital.

The crash remains under investigation ... and authorities would not release any other details, including whether he fell asleep or suffered a medical emergency or was possibly intoxicated.

Dylan was identified as the driver by a number of locals who posted on social media, including Thomas Hamilton Jr., the mayor of Moncks Corner, where Dylan was set to perform Monday night.

Taylor Swift is making sure A.I. doesn't turn her into its next puppet ... because, according to docs obtained by TMZ, she's quietly locked down some very specific trademarks aimed at making sure any digital copycats of her voice and image are "CANCELLED!"

According to new trademark filings submitted last Friday, Taylor is seeking federal protection for two phrases tied directly to her voice: "Hey, it's Taylor Swift" and "Hey, it's Taylor." The filings fall under the rare "sound mark" category -- the same trademark lane used for recognizable audio cues ... like Netflix's "tu-dum" and NBC's iconic chimes.

Taylor's legal team appears to be on their "Vigilante S***" preparing for the growing wave of A.I.-generated songs, videos, and deepfakes that mimic celebrities without permission. By trademarking phrases tied to her voice, Taylor could have a stronger argument if someone uses A.I. to create content that sounds too much like her.

Nicki Minaj's ex-assistant is asking a judge to sanction the rapper for failing to turn over potential evidence in their court battle ... TMZ has learned.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Brandon Garrett -- who worked for Nicki in 2024 -- claimed she got physical with him.

He said Nicki called him into her dressing room at a Detroit show. Brandon alleged that Nicki became enraged with him.

"Are you f***ing crazy having him pick up my prescription? You have lost your f***ing mind and if my husband were here, he would knock out your f***ing teeth," Brandon said Nicki told him backstage. "You're a dead man walking. You just f***ed up your whole life and you will never be anyone, I'll make sure of it."

It's the gift that keeps on giving -- Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna are keeping the momentum going ... 'cause they’ve got a new single on the way!

They also revealed the release date -- April 30 at 3 PM PT -- and judging by the comment section meltdown, fans are already counting down.

The track is set to land on Madonna’s upcoming 15th studio album "Confessions II," which drops July 3.

Megan Thee Stallion appeared to fight back tears during a Broadway performance of "Moulin Rouge!" ... just hours after revealing her split from Klay Thompson.

The Houston rapper hit the stage like usual Saturday night, but as the crowd erupted in cheers for her during the end of the show, Megan appeared overcome with emotion -- briefly pausing the performance.

In video posted online, Megan appears visibly choked up ... pausing briefly to fight back tears as she pushes through the moment before continuing to the end of the show.

Can you guess who this gorgeous gal is based on her perfect bod alone??

Here's the mystery singer showing off her physique after an apparent workout sesh ... snapping the pic in a fitness room.

Her toned looks aren't the only thing she's got goin' for her -- this 2-time Grammy nominee has earned multiple platinum certifications ever since jumping on the music scene back in 1999. She's also earned her spot on the silver screen as an accomplished actress!

Looks like Klay Thompson won't be getting a taste of Megan Thee Stallion's "Sweetest Pie" anymore ... 'cause she just confirmed to TMZ she dumped him.

The singer tells TMZ via her rep ... "I’ve made the decision to end my relationship with Klay. Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there’s no real path forward. I’m taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity.”

The confirmation comes after the singer hopped on Instagram Saturday to share a cryptic note to her Story in which she seemingly accused the NBA star of cheating. She wrote ... "Cheating, had me around your whole family playing house... got 'cold feet.'"

Kanye West and Bianca Censori looked happy while dressing casually during a Friday night outing ... and, for Bianca, you know that means spilling out of her top!

The two were spotted at the famous Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, relaxing on a couch ... Ye in his usual all-black outfit, and Bianca showing off her famous chest in a revealing bodysuit paired with shiny tights.

The two sported huge grins throughout the evening ... with Bianca periodically sipping on a drink. You can see her looking relaxed and laughing at one point in the video below.

It's interesting to see Ye back at Chateau Marmont ... because just a couple weeks ago, a man filed a lawsuit against the rapper for allegedly sucker-punching him at the Chateau in 2024.

We broke the story back then ... Kanye allegedly punched a guy who he thought bumped Bianca in the lobby. However, we were told he actually punched the dude's twin brother -- a painful case of mistaken identity. Ye said he hit the dude for allegedly grabbing his wife.
