Music lovers’ favorite holiday, Spotify Wrapped, has finally come. If you are embarrassed by your top artist being AJR or your top song being Minecraft noises, make yourself feel better and find out who some of the Lariat staff listened to this year.

The Grammys have seriously lost their touch. From nominating Olivia Rodrigo six times to snubbing Morgan Wallen entirely, this year’s nominees are unique, to say the least.

I think the real issue here isn’t even the blatant highway robbery that musicians are subjecting their loyal fan bases to. It’s the fact that we’ll fall for it.

The No. 4 Utes will be the No. 21 Bears’ first big test of the season.

‘Tis the season to panic when it comes to shopping for loved ones. But this year, the work has already been done for you. Here’s a definitive gift guide for all the different types of people in your life: the sorority girls, the indie boys and everyone in between.

If your walk to class this week is freezing cold, here is a list of hot new music to keep you warm.

And that is why Swift is relevant, time and again. Though her albums aren’t always perfect, she is successful at meeting her audience where they are. It’s no wonder why something you often hear from Swifties is that “she wrote this album just for me.”

I’ve curated a brief list of what I think will be the costumes we see the most this year. If dressing completely original is your thing, I would probably avoid these costumes.

Even though an official relationship isn’t confirmed yet, who could’ve predicted that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce would ever interact at all? Not me, that’s for sure. Not even in my “Wildest Dreams.”

Between B-list ex-boyfriends and a billion-dollar stadium tour, Taylor Swift has been the central focus of many minds lately — but not for either of those reasons. On Sunday, Swift watched Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce play against the Chicago Bears from his suite.

Following Olivia Rodrigo’s newly released sophomore album “Guts,” I thought it would be fitting to go into a few of the reasons why her music, on occasion, misses the mark.

Behind the Eras Tour’s three-hour concert is a 33-year-old who is carrying the nation’s economy on her shoulders.

Live music shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for the few who have the time, money and patience to fight through ticket sales.

Niall Horan has been killing it recently, releasing banger after banger and bringing back simple and fun pop music. “Meltdown” has a backing chorus of singers that is almost operatic, lending a really bright sound to the song. It’s high energy and so happy, almost like the Irish member of One Direction’s answer to Harry Styles’ “As It Was.”

This spring was a much more competitive semester for music. Just over 42% of the chart is taken up by albums with only one or two students choosing them as a favorite. Even the most hotly-anticipated albums are spread more evenly, as Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” only claimed 25% of the results.

From straining my vocal cords from screaming the lyrics to “Cruel Summer” to then crying during the “folklore” setlist, experiencing Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” was nothing short of phenomenal, and it’s been a long time coming.

The music you play at your wedding can influence the event all day long, and picking the right songs means you’ll be instantly transported back to that day with each listen. Here are some suggestions for your big day playlist.

Don’t let other people in the audience ruin your vibe if you like to sing loudly and dance around. As long as you aren’t whacking anyone with your freeform dance moves, you’re here to have fun, not to fit into a crowd.

In honor of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour kicking off over the weekend, the Arts and Life desk (and some of our friends) wanted to chip in with our favorite Taylor Swift songs. Consider this our very own Eras Tour setlist, if we were calling the shots. Ready for it?

“All Of The Girls You Loved Before” is a previously unreleased track from Taylor Swift’s 2019 album, “Lover.” It’s easy to see how this one fits the theme of that album. Warm, fuzzy and really romantic, “All Of The Girls You Loved Before” is Swift at her most content, most mature in terms of her songwriting.

The next time you have a free moment, put in your AirPods and play your favorite song, then everything else is just one Google search away. Every song has a story. It’s up to you to find it. Don’t be afraid to dive into the lore of your favorite songs and artists.

The next one has to be “Joanie” by Clairo, my personal favorite. This one’s instrumental, but Clairo really knows how to tell a story without words. She composed this song about her beloved dog Joanie, using playful piano melodies and angelic harmonies throughout. Give it a listen; it really does sound like a theme song for a puppy!

Most Baylor students anticipate one thing during the spring semester: Diadeloso. This year’s headliner for the event will be Parachute.
