Taylor Swift, 33, singer, calls for failure. In her innovation award speech at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, she said that while the award lets all her choices that have worked well shine, she wants to emphasize the “hundred or thousand stupid ideas that led me to the good ones”. Last year, the pop singer released her tenth album, ten songs of which occupied the top ten places on the Billboard charts, which no artist has managed to do before.
Rebecca Mir, 31, moderator, defends herself against mockery. After the “taff” presenter received bodyshaming comments on Instagram about her allegedly too small butt, she countered there: “How can something on a butt be right or not? Who defines that? Can I read it somewhere?” She herself is satisfied with her body. “Shouldn’t that be the goal for all of us? For those who don’t feel good about themselves yet, do something about it. But please don’t criticize others for things that make them feel good about themselves.” The “Germany’s Next Top Model” runner-up from 2011 also could not understand how users demand more reality and self-love and at the same time evaluate or even insult their bodies. She also posted a series of shots showing her buttocks.
Bjorn Ulvaeus77, Abba-Musician, believes in multiple great loves. On the Swedish talk show “Bianca”, when asked by the presenter whether he and his girlfriend Christina Sas had fallen head over heels in love, he said: “You can say that, at least I did.” They met for the first time on a television show in Germany, Sas is now his “third great love”. In February 2022, Ulvaeus and his second wife Lena announced their marriage after 40 years. Ulvaeus had previously been married to fellow band member Agnetha Faltskog during the great Abba era in the 1970s.
Tim bendzko, 37, singer, has a new small talk topic. Since the birth of his son, the pop musician has been able to talk to other people more quickly. “I think it’s crazy how quickly you suddenly get close to strangers because you’ve just become a father. You’re immediately on the same level and can talk,” he told dpa. “I’m not that good at small talk. The father topic helps a lot there.” In the ballad “Für dich” Bendzko sings about the birth of his son a little over two years ago and his feelings as a father.
Anna Fisher, 36, actress, doesn’t want to see dead bodies. In preparation for her main role in the ARD crime series “The Undertaker”, she did a kind of internship. “I met with undertakers to prepare and looked at funeral homes, talked to the employees there and was allowed to ask all my questions,” she told dpa. However, there were limits: “Of course, the question arose as to whether I would like to see a corpse, but I declined for reasons of piety.”
