Morgan Wallen Tapped Again As Musical Guest On “Saturday Night Live’

tmpeb887d20-c944-49ad-a256-eb76fdb72f70-jpg

Morgan Wallen will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 10, said Morgan via Twitter, with the caption, “Let’s try this again.” 

Morgan was originally slated to perform on SNL on Oct. 10, but was dismissed from the show after multiple videos surfaced of him ignoring social distancing protocols while in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Oct. 3 for the University of Alabama vs. Texas A&M football game. Morgan appeared in numerous TikTok videos that showed him partying at a bar, kissing women, performing at a house party and more—all without a mask.

Morgan will take the stage for two performances on Dec. 5,  with Jason Bateman hosting the long-running late night comedy show.

Wolfgang Van Halen recently debuted his first solo song “Distance” which claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. Van Halen released the track under the band name of Mammoth WVH and accompanied it with a video paying tribute to his late father, guitar legend Eddie Van Halen.

Wolfgang told Billboard, “I am beyond humbled by the response to ‘Distance’. I can’t believe that it’s appearing on all of these charts so soon after release. The fact that so many have embraced the song and video shows how much we have in common in the love and respect we have for my father. I just wish he was here to see it. Thank you so much to everyone who’s listening and also to my whole team who has worked so hard to make this a reality.”

Dow Hits 30,000 As Presidential Transition Officially Goes Forward

tmpd15ca1f4-58dd-426e-9715-d80035291efb-jpg

Dow Jones Industrial Average traded above 30,000 for the first time as President-elect Joe Biden formally begins his transition.

Stocks finished higher Tuesday, with the Dow finishing up nearly 455 points, or 1.54%, to 30,046, and set an intraday all-time high of 30,116. The S&P 500 gained 1.62% and the Nasdaq Composite finished up 1.31%.

Reports said Biden would nominate former Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen as treasury secretary. Yellen would be the first woman to lead the department. She also was the first woman to serve as Fed chair after her Senate confirmation in 2014. In addition, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will put $455 billion in unspent Cares Act funding into an account that Yellen will need authorization from Congress to access. Mnuchin plans to place the money into the agency’s General Fund, a Treasury Department spokesperson said Tuesday. That fund can be tapped only with “authority based on congressionally issued legislation,” according to the Treasury’s website.

Taylor Swift Debuts Her “Folklore’ Studio Sessions On Disney+

tmpd404a0c3-7171-4093-a892-d802aedbd956-jpg

Taylor Swift debuted an entire film with performances from her latest album, Folklore.

Four months after releasing Folklore, Swift gave fans intimate performances of the songs for the very first time by releasing Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, on Disney+. The film features Taylor and her co-writers and producers, Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, for the first time since they virtually recorded the album in quarantine. Taylor performs tracks from the record, and the trio also discuss how the project came together and what went into making it.

Earlier this month, Taylor also began re-recording her first six albums, which she lost the rights to when she left Big Machine Label Group in 2018. When Taylor left the label, she was not given the option to buy her masters, which were then purchased by her nemesis, Scooter Braun, for $300 million in 2019.

GSA Allows Biden Transition To Formally Begin

tmpd5e65515-2ff8-40fc-b825-d26aef96c430-jpg

On Monday, President-elect Joe Biden was formally given the go-ahead by a federal agency to begin his transition to the White House, shortly after the battleground state of Michigan certified him as the winner there. With this news, President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his Nov. 3 election defeat appear to be coming to a close.

The U.S. General Services Administration, an independent agency, informed Biden that his transition – leading up to a Jan. 20 inauguration – could officially begin. In a tweet, Trump wrote that GSA Administrator Emily Murphy and her team should “do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.”

The move by the GSA means Biden’s team will now have federal funds and an official office to conduct his transition over the next two months. It also paves the way for Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to receive regular national security briefings that Trump also gets.
