After being cited by police in Seoul and having his license suspended after falling off an electric scooter.

He added: “Due to this incident, I have greatly damaged the precious memories I made with the members and fans and put a lot of pressure on the name of the BTS. Once again, I sincerely apologize to the fans who were hurt by me. I sincerely apologize for causing a social stir and disappointing many people.”

Taylor Swift praises Charli XCX and puts fan rumors of a feud to bed with her comments. Keep watching to see what the artists had to say.

Tetris Kelly:
If you believed the rumors of beef between Charli XCX and Taylor Swift, they’re both speaking out without directly addressing said rumors. Some fans believed “Sympathy Is a Knife” off of Charli’s hit album Brat is about Taylor Swift. 

“It’s so difficult being an artist, especially a female artist, where you’re pitted against your peers, but also expected to be best friends with every single person.” Charli made it clear before the album dropped that there weren’t any diss tracks on Brat, aside from “Von Dutch.” “And if you’re not, you’re deemed a bad feminist.” But we did see a song about Lorde get an epic remix. 

While we don’t know if T-Swift will be on a remix of “Sympathy Is a Knife,” which Charli played for New York Magazine, Taylor told the mag, “I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities since I first heard ‘Stay Away’ in 2011. Her writing is surreal and inventive, always. She just takes a song to places you wouldn’t expect it to go, and she’s been doing it consistently for over a decade. I love to see hard work like that pay off.”

Taylor’s seen Charli’s work firsthand, when Charli was an opener for the Reputation Tour. When asked if she regretted the lyric that made most fans think “Sympathy” was about Taylor, she simply said no, and she was OK playing the silent game and letting the interview get awkward.

Taylor Swift is speaking out about her canceled shows in Vienna as Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Maggie Rogers pay tribute to her in that same stadium. Taylor Swift just completed a string of shows in London after having to shut down previous shows after authorities discovered a terrorist plot. She has now spoken out saying, “Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, but I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”

And if anyone thinks she took too long to address, she added: “I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows. In cases like this one, ‘silence,’ is actually showing restraint.” Coldplay has opened the doors at the same venue in Austria and Maggie Rogers joined Chris Martin for “Love Story” as a tribute.
