The singer announced dates for her world tour and some people have noticed that she will be in the UK on Glastonbury weekend. Furthermore, there’s a suspiciously long gap between her last performance (June 27th) and her next performance (July 6th).

3AM report that they asked Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis about the possibility and, well, he didn’t deny it.

Taylor Swift would be great to follow the Dolly Parton slot – especially being a country singer.

Stranger things have happened, right? (Telegraph)

Meanwhile, Harry Styles is once again fuelling rumours that he is bisexual. The One Direction heartthrob/noted fan of man buns was asked in an interview what his preferred trait in a lady is.

His bandmate Liam Payne answered, “Female, that’s a good trait,” before Harry interjected, “Not that important.” Cue nervous laughter and some babble about how he likes people to be “natural”.

Harry Styles has previously denied that he is bisexual, but his latest comment has sent many Directioners into a tailspin with many promising that they love him no matter his orientation. Aw. (E! Online)

Lena Dunham has apologised to sexual abuse survivors for any offence that may have been taken from a passage in her book. In a statement to Time, Dunham said she was dismayed about the interpretation of a passage from her book and apologised.

Childhood sexual abuse is a life-shattering event for so many, and I have been vocal about the rights of survivors. If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention. I am also aware that the comic use of the term “sexual predator” was insensitive, and I’m sorry for that as well.

Dunham found herself at the centre of a firestorm over the weekend when a right-wing website TruthRevolt.org accused Dunham of having molested her sister, citing a passage in her boo, an accusation Dunham vehemently denies. (Time)
