Samuel L. Jackson singing a Taylor Swift song is the best thing ever!

While being interviewed by London's Capital Radio, Jackson was asked to recite (singing isn't really the right word to describe this video) Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. He obliged and the result is the best damn interpretation of a Taylor Swift song you'll hear all day.

‘Nashville’ Episode 9 – RECAP

130453-1428-ful-jpg_183645

Nashville is back! Hooray! The hit TV show graced our
screens once again last Wednesday, and oh were we glad to see it. A month is a
long time in a love affair with a fictional narrative. Am I right? Either way,
tonight sees episode 10 pick up where 9 left off, and thus we need a recap of 9,
naturally. Here we go.

Well, let’s start with the big news! Juliette gets married!
And she and the good, Christian boy Sean elope, and appear to have sex for the
first time in the back of a cab. How very Gossip
Girl
. Juliette wants to keep it quiet, but, like all the news in this town,
it gets out to Sean’s family, who aren’t too pleased but decide to arrange a
church wedding, to authorize it before God. Under pressure from Sean’s
overbearing mother who hates her, Juliette agrees to invite her mother, who is
still in rehab. Sean then organizes for them both to meet with Jolene but
Juliette decides to go alone. Her mother seems much more normal, but she
questions Juliette’s choice to get married so quickly, talking about the hole
inside both of them that cannot be filled. Juliette gets angry and storms off.
The wedding goes ahead as planned, but the end of the episode reveals her in
her beautiful wedding dress in the wedding car, being driven to… to… the
airport. Not the church, where Sean and all their guests are waiting. Oh dear.

Alongside this, the news we’ve all being talking about –
Rayna and Juliette’s tour. Rayna wants desperately to release her new album she’s
been working on with Liam, but the popularity of ‘Wrong Song’ calls for a
studio version, and the tour will help both of them rekindle their career. In
addition, she just wants to get away from Teddy and the failing of her
marriage, which, if we remember, was in tatters after she found out about Teddy’s
lying, and Peggy tried to kill herself. While Peggy is heard to be fine, Rayna
decides to start the tour earlier than scheduled, in a few days, and tells
Teddy she’s taking the girls with her. He is furious and tells Tandy in his
distress, who joins Lamar in confronting Rayna at her house. Lamar threatens to
“tell Maddie who her real father is” at which point Rayna kicks him out. She
then comes to tell Teddy at his work, where Lamar also is, and upon hearing
what Lamar has said Teddy explodes and really yells at Lamar, as he has always
known who Maddie’s real father is (Deacon, surely? I swear I predicted this!). While
Rayna is very grateful, she later says she loves Teddy, but she knows neither
of them are happy. She decides to go out on tour but leave the girls in school,
seeing them when she can, as she and Teddy need the space to figure things out.
