Carmen has this theory that Taylor just wants to own her own music and not be in conflict with anyone trying to take away her music.
"Like we have seen over the years, if you don't own it, then it's not fully yours. So with these artists, it's important to own your masters (music), as the bulk of your money is received from sales attached to the music," says Carmen.
3.
Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are over.
Okay, so we know that the 'Oops!... I Did It Again' pop star has been making loads of noise on social media, which includes posting videos of herself doing WILD things, notably on X.

"Guys, what's going on with Britney? Like, she was at her prime back when she started off, and now it's like she's going backwards," says Carmen.
Hopefully she gets back into her music again, as she just released a song with Will.I.Am called, 'Mind Your Business'.
