Taylor’s Version)," Taylor Swift has increased teasers and hidden messages. On September 19, Google introduced a new feature to celebrate «1989 (Taylor’s Version),» sparking speculation among fans about a potential collaboration with Nicki Minaj. One specific puzzle answer has captured the interest of both Swift and Minaj fans: 'Sagittarius'. This answer holds significance as it not only corresponds to the ninth astrological sign but also fuels speculation about a potential musical collaboration between these two iconic artists, as per a report in BillBoard. Adding to this speculation is the fact that both Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj share Sagittarius as their zodiac sign, with birthdays falling on December 13 and December 8, respectively. During the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on September 12, Swift, upon receiving her third award from Minaj, affectionately referred to her as «That’s my favorite Sagittarius over there.» This warm exchange elicited a radiant smile and an enthusiastic response from Minaj, a well-known advocate for her star sign. While the prospect of a collaboration between Swift and Minaj may not come as a complete surprise, it's worth noting that Swift was an early supporter of Minaj's hit track «Super Bass.» Additionally, the two artists previously performed a medley of their songs at the 2015 VMAs, including Minaj's «Trini Dem Girls» and «The Night Is Still Young,» alongside Swift's «Bad Blood.» This performance followed the resolution of a dispute related to the nominees for Video of the Year that year.

YouTube said on Tuesday it had blocked Russell Brand from making money from his online channel after the British actor and comedian was accused of a string of sexual assaults. Brand, once one of Britain's most high-profile comedians and broadcasters, said on Saturday he had never had non-consensual sex. That came as the Sunday Times newspaper and Channel 4 TV's documentary show «Dispatches» reported that four women had accused the 48-year-old of sexual assaults, including a rape, between 2006 and 2013. London police said on Monday that since then they had received an allegation of sexual assault dating from 2003. Brand, the former husband of U.S. singer Katy Perry, has repositioned himself in recent years to build a more than 6 million-strong following to his YouTube channel. Recent videos included an interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and discussions on everything from COVID to UFOs, censorship and wellbeing. YouTube, owned by Google parent Alphabet Inc, said it had suspended monetisation on Brand's channel after he violated its creator responsibility policy. «If a creator's off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community,» a YouTube spokesperson said. Brand issued a video message on social media on Saturday to deny the «very serious criminal allegations» hours before they were published. «These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies.
