It’s not like it’s a new word, but Dictionary.com has made it official: The word “Swiftie” was added to the website as part of its Fan Favorite Winter Word Drop 2026.

Swiftie” is one of the 1,500 words that the website has just added, along with similar terms “Beyhive,” “Janeite” and “Trekkie.” The official definitions, respectively, are “a fan of the music Taylor Swift”; “the fanbase of the singer Beyoncé and its online community”; “a fan of the words of Jane Austen and their associated media”; and “a fan of the television series and films that form the Star Trek universe, and associated media.”

As for why these words, which have been in use for quite some time, are being added now, Dictionary.com says, “We wait to add a word to the dictionary until we’ve determined that it has gained relatively widespread use and is likely to stick around. Also, there are a lot of words to keep track of, so sometimes it takes us a while.”

Other words added in the new drop include “nanoplastic,” “biohacker,” “side quest,” “glamazon” and “smashburger.”

Taraji P. Henson has been featured on many billboards, but the latest one promotes her upcoming Broadway debut. Taking to Instagram, she shared a video that pans across a billboard for the play Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, featuring photos of her and Cedric the Entertainer. The video also includes backstage and behind-the-scenes shots.

“I need somebody to pinch me!!! BROADWAY!!!!!! This moment is so surreal. Thank you God!” she captioned the post. “The entire cast is beyond gifted and amazing, and I cannot wait for you all to come see this show.”

Directed by Debbie Allen, August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone will play a 15-week engagement in the Barrymore Theatre beginning March 30. Taraji will take on the role of Bertha Holly, who runs a Pittsburgh boardinghouse with Cedric’s Seth Holly, providing shelter to Black travelers navigating uncertain paths in the aftermath of the Great Migration, according to Broadway.com.

Herald Loomis arrives with his young daughter, disrupting the stillness of their home, the play’s official website says. He searches for his lost wife and embarks on a journey of self-discovery after seven years of forced labor under Joe Turner, Broadway.com adds.

According to Cedric, Joe Turner’s Come and Gone is “gonna be good!!!”

Guitar greats Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, who in 2024 announced the formation of SATCHVAI Band, have dropped a new single.

The two rockers have released the track “Dancing,” accompanied by a video directed by Satriani’s son, ZZ Satriani.

The clip opens with the duo’s manager, played by comedian and musician Brendon Small, pushing them to hire dancers for their upcoming tour, with the rest of the clip focused on auditions for the gig. It features a cameo at the end by their drummer, Kenny Aronoff.

“‘Dancing’ really captures the playful side of what Steve and I discovered on stage together last summer — that push-and-pull of melody and energy,” Satriani says. “The video gave us a chance to show that spirit in a completely different way. Watching ZZ bring this absurd casting concept to life — and having Brendon step into the madness — made it even more fun.”

Vai adds, “This band thrives on surprise — musically and visually. ‘Dancing’ is a perfect example of that.” He notes, “It’s melodic but relentless, and the video turns that energy into a kind of surreal comedy. It’s a glimpse into the personality of this band before we even hit the stage.”

SATCHVAI Band will launch the Surfing With The Hydra tour on April 1 in Seattle. It will mark their first tour of the U.S. They have dates confirmed through May 30 in Vienna, Virginia. A complete list of shows can be found at satchvaiband.com.

Comeback complete: Hilary Duff’s back in the top 10.

Hilary’s album luck… or something, her first in more than 10 years, has debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. It’s the fifth top-10 album of her career, following Metamorphosis and Most Wanted, which both hit #1; her self-titled 2004 album, which reached #2; Dignity, which hit #3; and 2015’s Breathe In. Breathe Out., which peaked at #5.

The album, featuring the single “Roommates,” debuted at #5 in the U.K., while it topped the chart in Australia.

Hilary’s chart accomplishment follows her mini-tour, called Small Rooms, Big Nerves, and several dates at the Voltaire club at The Venetian Las Vegas. Her global trek, the lucky me tour, gets underway in June, following another round of Voltaire shows in May.

Hilary has returned to the spotlight while navigating two unhappy events, the death of her Lizzie Maguire co-star Robert Carradine and her alleged involvement in the “toxic mom group” drama reported by Ashley Tisdale.

Zendaya and Tom Holland have tied the knot, according to stylist Law Roach.

The famed celebrity stylist behind many of Zendaya’s looks opened up on the Actor Awards red carpet on Sunday when asked about the couple’s seemingly impending marriage.

“The wedding has already happened. You missed it,” Roach said while speaking with Access Hollywood on the red carpet at the awards ceremony.

“Is that true?” asked the reporter, to which Roach responded, “It’s very true.”

ABC News has reached out to representatives for Zendaya and Holland.

The couple’s engagement was confirmed by People last year after Zendaya was photographed wearing a large diamond ring at the 2025 Golden Globes.

The celebrity couple met in 2016 while filming the 2017 film Spider-Man: Homecoming, in which Holland starred as the superhero and Zendaya starred as “MJ,” or Michelle Jones-Watson.

Holland seemed to indicate a romance with Zendaya in 2021, wishing her a happy birthday in an Instagram post.

“My MJ, have the happiest of birthdays. Gimme a call when your [sic] up xxx,” wrote Holland in the post.

The photo showed Holland in full Spider-Man gear while Zendaya rested her chin on his shoulder and raised a camera to a mirror.

Michael B. Jordan had a big weekend, with wins at the NAACP Image Awards and the Actor Awards, and he doesn’t want it to end just yet.

After winning outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role for Sinners, which also took home outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, he told Extra he’s honored “to be acknowledged by our peers and other actors that we admire.”

“To get that love and that affection and be in this room has us all kind of speechless,” he said of the Sinners cast, noting he’s generally feeling “gratitude.” “It’s a special movie, special project. We’ve been through so much together as a cast and as individuals and, man, I just don’t want it to stop. I don’t want it to end. I want to continue to do this over and over and over again. So yeah, it feels good.”

While accepting his award at the Actor Awards, Michael thanked his mother for the role she played in his success. He told Extra that he wouldn’t be close to where he is now without her love and support, which made her the perfect date.

“There’s been so much in my career my mom wasn’t able to be with me in these spaces, you know,” he said. “So for her to join me on this run, it couldn’t happen any other way.”

We’ll find out if Michael will add an Oscar to his trophy slate on March 15, when the Academy Awards air on ABC
