Taylor Swift Is Over Party: Twitter Users Celebrate Singer"s Downfall
As you may have heard, the never-ending soap opera that is Taylor Swift"s life took another unexpected turn today when it was revealed that Swift and Calvin Harris fought over a song prior to their breakup.
To be specific, the music mega-stars clashed over Harris" hit single "This Is What You Came For", which we now know was secretly co-written by Swift.
Harris slammed Swift in a Twitter rant that sparked the now-trending hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty.
The tag has taught us two important things:
A lot of folks on Twitter really don"t like Taylor Swift, and they"ve been holding onto some epic memes and sick burns for the day of her downfall.
Obviously, their celebration is more than a bit premature (Taylor will probably never be "over," and she"s certainly not today.), but the party is still worth attending:
1. Simpler Times
2. Katy Perry: Roaring!
3. Swiddleston v. Harris
4. What Rhymes With "Rich"?
5. Grammys vs. Fans
6. Swift the Snake?

Taylor Swift Stalker Arrested at Singer’s Home, Is Very Sad She’s Dating Tom Hiddleston
Taylor Swift really gets a steady amount of unwanted visitors at her home.
The most recent person to show up unannounced is a deranged fan who is not impressed about her relationship with Tom Hiddleston.
There’s no denying that Swift’s relationship with Hiddleston came out of nowhere.
She was in a relationship with Calvin Harris mere weeks ago, but one fan seemed to think that the end of her relationship with Harris meant that he’d be her next dude.
The man showed up at her Rhode Island home and was allegedly distraught about her relationship with 35-year-old Hiddleston.
This new pairing has been literally everywhere. The whole world probably knows about it at this stage.
They’ve been jet-setting around the globe with one another. Their relationship appears to be moving along at a brisk pace.
The deranged fan was caught by security, but they knew that something wasn’t quite right when he claimed that he was meant to get married to the singer.
That’s when alarm bells started ringing and the authorities got involved.
The man was ultimately taken to a local hospital for a mental evaluation.
His car was towed away from the scene when he was taken away.
There’s word that Taylor was not in the residence at the time of the incident.
This is not okay. This is the sort of things that celebrities fear the most.
There’s a line and this fan most certainly crossed it.
Taylor is believed to be in Australia at the moment with her man, who is filming Thor 3.
She has yet to address the event at her Rhode Island residence, but she must be so glad that she wasn’t there at the time.

Christina Grimmie: Thousands of Fans Donate to GoFundMe Campaign For Slain Singer"s Family
On Friday night, The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie was shot and killed while greeting fans following a concert in Orlando.
She was just 22 years old.
Members of Christina’s family have shared their grief in heartbreaking social media messages, and while nothing can heal the wounds of such a senseless tragedy, they can hopefully find some comfort in the fact that their loss is shared by fans from all corners of the globe.
In addition to her prodigious talent, Christina connected with millions through her tremendous energy and spirit, and when the opportunity arose to show her family how much of an impact the singer made in her brief time on Earth, fans answered the call en masse.
Christina’s manager, Brian Teefey, created a GoFundMe page to support the Grimmie family in this dark time.
The goal was to raise $ 4,000 to help them cover funeral expenses.
That goal was reached within minutes of the page going live, but the outpouring of support didn’t stop there.
At this point, less than 48 hours since the campaign began, over 4,500 fans have raised nearly $ 170,000.
Teefey, who had worked with Grimmie from the very start of her career, posted the following message on the page:
“Words cannot begin to describe the pain I am feeling. I learned this business through the eyes of a father and Christina was like a second daughter to me.
“All I wanted to do was assist her in achieving her musical dreams while protecting her from the pitfalls associated with the business.
“I never could have imagined this horrific event being one of the pitfalls needing to be avoided. In Christina’s honor I have created a Go Fund Me page to assist her family in their time of need.
“As family Mother, Father, and Brother made the ultimate family sacrifice to support Christina on her musical journey. They did nothing but love her and support her as family the best they knew how, the only worry I want them to have at this point is that of recovery.”

Prince Update: Percocet Found in Singer"s System at Time of Death
We have an update on the death of Prince.
According to The Minneapolis Star Tribune, the iconic singer had Percocet in his system at the time of his unexpected passing on Thursday, April 21.
As previously detailed, Prince was found unconscious in an elevator at his home in Paisley Park last month.
Authorities announced his death within minutes of arriving on scene.
A source close to the official investigation tells the aforementioned newspaper that the prescription opiate painkiller was detected in the music legend’s body.
However, it’s important to note the following:
Investigators do not yet know whether the presence of this Percocet played a role in his death.
They haven’t confirmed, either, whether, Prince had any kind of cocaine problem.
An autopsy for the artist has been completed, but no cause of death for the 57-year-old has been revealed as of this writing.
Meanwhile, TMZ reports that a criminal probe is also underway.
That site also writes that Prince was taking Percocet, focusing on whether or not doctors were over-prescribing the drug to the star.
Law enforcement in Minnesota are allegedly looking into a trio of possible abuses:
Multiple doctors who overprescribed meds to the singer… aliases the artist and his doctors perhaps could have used… and multiple pharmacies that filled the prescriptions.
An earlier TMZ report claimed that Prince had prescriptions filled at least four times in the seven days prior to his death. That’s a lot.
Moreover, at least one of the pharmacies was 6.1 miles from his home, which was significantly farther away than eight other drug stores.
This would seem to back up the allegation that Prince was filling his prescription at numerous places.
Local authorities have enlisted the assistance of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the investigation.
The DEA will help determine the origin of the medication and what prescriptions the singer had obtained, according to the U.S. Attorney.

Craig Strickland: Bandmates React to Singer"s Death
Last week, Backroad Anthem lead singer Craig Strickland went missing after embarking on a hunting trip with life-long friend
Yesterday, Strickland’s body was found in a remote, heavily-forested region of Oklahoma. Today, his bandmates paid touching tribute to their fallen frontman on Facebook:
The band’s surviving members – Toby Freeman, Eric Dysart, Josh Bryant, Brandon Robold and Isaac Senty – posted the photo above, along with the following caption:
“Today we lost our brother, our best friend, our bandmate. Craig was the most amazing person whose passion for life couldn’t be matched. Thankful to know he fought his way from the water to a hill and was lying in the shape of a cross on his back looking up to his Heavenly Father.
“Today, he is smiling down on us and we know he will always be with us. He will always be here to help guide us along the way. We love you Craig Strickland and we will forever miss you!”
The band’s statement references the details of Strickland’s death that were recently made public by his wife, Helen Strickland.
“The night of the accident he fought his way out of the water and up a hill before the stages of hypothermia set in,” she wrote on Instagram.
“He experienced no pain in his final moments and simply felt like he was falling asleep. They found him lying in the shape of a cross looking up to his Father.”
Strickland was 29 years old.

Taylor Swift: Awesome Judge Quotes Singer"s Lyrics While Dismissing Lawsuit
When you’re as successful as Taylor Swift, nuisance lawsuits are a common occurrence.
But apparently, being sued can sometimes be an absolute pleasure – so long as you win the case, and your judge happens to be an amateur song parodist with a sharp sense of humor.
The story goes: Taylor was being sued for $ 42 million by a man named Jessie Braham, who claims that Taylor stole the lyrics for “Shake It Off” from his 2013 song “Haters Gonna Hate.”
The case was dismissed today in a fashion that will surely be appreciated by fans of Swifty:
“At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court,” reads the dismissal order from US Magistrate judge Gail J Standish.
“As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space — one that requires Braham to do more than write his name.
“And, upon consideration of the Court’s explanation in Part II, Braham may discover that mere pleading Band-Aids will not fix the bullet holes in his case…At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit.”
Oh, snap! Looks like Taylor’s not the only who can dole out epic burns in song form.
Sadly, the judge didn’t actually sing the verdict, but we get the feeling the result would have been as hilariously stiff as presidential candidate Martin O’Malley’s rendition of “Bad Blood.”

Taylor Swift-Calvin Harris Breakup: Was the Singer"s Squad to Blame?
Earlier today, we reported that Taylor Swift has dumped Calvin Harris, and the ex-couple is currently doing their best to keep the story out of the press.
That’s not surprising, as the rumors circulating online today, are pretty embarrassing for both parties.
First we heard that Caylor called it quits because of Harris’ fondness for “happy ending” massage parlors.
Now, sources are claiming that Taylor’s famous “squad” might be to blame for the breakup.
It seems Taylor’s girlfriends are such a major part of her life that Calvin eventually got frustrated by the lack of alone time.
“It seems to bug him that her friends always appear to be around whenever they hang out,” an insider tells the UK’s Metro magazine.
The source claims that between the media and the squad, life with Taylor was simply too much for Harris to handle.
“Calvin has found the circus surrounding their relationship overwhelming,’ the insider claims. ‘It was incredibly intense so they’ve taken a step back and are cooling things off.”
Apparently, part of the problem was that both the press and Taylor’s chick clique were frequently buzzing about rumors that Harris and Swift were engaged.
“Talk of them marrying freaked them both out, neither is ready and suddenly having all this speculation took its toll,” says the source.
It probably didn’t help that Calvin’s preferred method of coping with the stress of a public relationship involved frequenting Thai massage parlors. Just sayin’.
