Whether you’ve got one fan in your family, or a full house of ’em (as some of us do), Taylor Swift lovers will be curious to flip through the soon-to-be released Taylor Swift Style: Fashion Through the Eras, a new book full of fashion photos and details on the pop icon’s looks over the years. It’s been a long time coming from the creator of @taylorswiftstyled, a go-to source on the internet for identifying the pop icon’s clothing, shoes and accessories on the double.
Before getting your hands on that, have a family movie night. Movie theater-goers will find a solid pick in DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot. For those in the parenting era where you’d rather not pay for tickets to see a movie you can’t pause for popcorn refills and restroom breaks, stream new animated special The Bad Guys: Haunted Heist at home on Netflix this week.
Make it through your to-do list this week while listening to Lady Gaga‘s surprise Harlequin album. Here’s the family-friendly thing about Harlequin: You don’t really need to know anything about the Joker sequel it’s a companion to, or know the name of a single Gaga song, to vibe to the revived standards on this collection. But play it on repeat and you, or someone close to you, just might turn into a Little Monster.
Speaking of new tunes, there’s a single dropping later this week that’ll satisfy the K-pop fan of the fam and those of us who lived and breathed ’90s pop radio.
