Since the release of Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday, worldwide Google searches for Patti Smith are up 430%, according to Nieuwe Casinos. Google Trends illustrates the impact too, with interest sharply spiking in tandem with its release.

Smith’s name is invoked on the title track of Swift’s album in a song believed to be directed at Matty Healy of the 1975 because of its references to typewriters, tattoos and an admiration for Charlie Puth.

In one of the album’s standout lines, 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’re modern idiots.’ ”

Smith is among the long list of artists, musicians and writers who lived or stayed at the Chelsea Hotel. In the late ’60s, she frequented the New York landmark while in a relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe.

Smith, 77, responded to Swift’s mention with an Instagram photo of herself holding a copy of Thomas’ “Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog” and the caption, “This is saying I was moved to be mentioned in the company of the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Thank you, Taylor.”

“This is amazing,” wrote one fan on Reddit. “ ‘Horses’ was a really important album to me in my early 20’s and Patti is an absolute icon. If I were Taylor, I’d frame this.”

Cudi breaks foot at Coachella: Kid Cudi broke his foot Sunday after jumping from a stage at the Coachella festival in Indio, California, ending his set early.

“Hey guys, so I broke my foot today at the show. Just leavin’ the hospital,” he wrote. “Never broken a bone before so this is all a bit crazy. I wanna thank u all for ur concerns and well wishes!! I love y’all man. I heard y’all still ragin’ when I was offstage. Made me smile big.”

Wallen ‘not proud’ of actions: Country music star Morgan Wallen, who faces charges stemming in part from accusations that he threw a chair off the rooftop of a bar, says he’s “not proud” of his behavior and accepts responsibility.

Wallen commented Friday on his April 8 arrest in Nashville, Tennessee. He faces a May 3 court date after being charged with three felony counts of reckless endangerment and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, records show.

“I didn’t feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I’m not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility,” Wallen wrote on the platform X.
