The pop star name-checks the punk icon on the title track to her 11th studio LP, which arrived on Friday. In the chorus, Swift sings: “I laughed in your face and said, ‘You’re not Dylan Thomas, I’m not Patti Smith’ / This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel, we’rе modern idiots.” Smith, in turn, responded to the nod on Instagram on Friday night, posting a photo of her reading Thomas’ short story collection Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. “This is saying I was moved to be mentioned in the comp...

Kaia Gerber finds it odd that “people care” about her outfits. The Marc Jacobs model - who is the daughter of iconic 90s supermodel Cindy Crawford, 56 and Rande Gerber, 60 - grew up with no one caring about being considered stylish when she lived on the California coast where shoes seemed to be optional in the classroom. The 21-year-old model told Elle magazine: “I remember the first time being like, ‘Oh, people care what I’m wearing.’ That wasn’t how I felt growing up. In Malibu, people didn’t wear shoes to school.” Kaia - who has an older brother Presley, 23 - admitted she she has ‘nepo baby...

While dejectedly walking to her New Jersey family home, she vowed to her future self that she would soon acquire her own medals to add to her lapel. On Saturday, the 75-year-old rock legend made good on that promise, as France's ambassador to the United States Philippe Etienne bestowed her with the Legion d'Honneur, his country's highest order of merit. Smith regaled a rapt audience ...

The legendary musician - who was born in Chicago, Illinois and grew up in South Jersey but adopted the city as her home - received the special honour this week just before her 75th birthday on Thursday (30.12.21) as outgoing mayor Bill De Blasio praised her for "an authenticity that you just don’t find [in] that many other places". In his speech, he said: "Some have called Patti Smith the godmother of punk...
