  Taylor Swift is reportedly carried around in a giant suitcase to avoid photographers. Here are other celebrities who have tried to dodged a photo opTaylor Swift has more conspiracy theories surrounding her than the moon landings: that she has an evil twin she banished to Japan, that Kanye West inducted her into the Illuminati, that she has no belly button… if there’s anyone more likely to have lizard skin photoshopped on to them by a YouTuber, I’d like to see them.

• Why are you so obsessed with me? How pop fans became all-powerful

  16-11-2018 13:59
  Little Mix named their album after the title their followers suggested, while the 1975 roped devotees in for their video. Pop’s power reversal puts fans closer to the starsPop has always had a weird relationship with its obsessive fans. While every pop star knew they needed an adoring, music-buying public, they were often afraid of them, too. Zayn Malik once revealed that a fan hid in a bin for four hours to get into One Direction’s backstage area. Aston from JLS remembered how secur

  Established megahits mesh with sombre new material as the endearing superstar wins her battle with a dodgy sound systemShe may be locked in to support the Spice Girls for next summer’s reunion but things are going so well for Jess Glynne that by then it might seem like that running order should be reversed.

  He inspired Bob Marley’s political awakening, survived a coma, and has sung about everything from sex workers to Khrushchev.

  16-11-2018 11:20
  (Gentlemen of the Road/Island)Mumford & Sons referenced Talk Talk and Jai Paul as they recorded their fourth album, but the electronic touches that emerge on Delta speak less of those noted pioneers than they do synthetic nuisances Alt-J. The screwed sprite-like vocal effects of Picture You and Darkness Visible’s indistinct dystopian miasma (soundtracking a reading from Paradise Lost!) suggest a new identity crisis for a band who spent their last album overhauling their agrarian aesthe

• The Good, the Bad & the Queen: Merrie Land review – Damon Albarn's scattergun sketch of Britain

  16-11-2018 11:00
  (Studio 13)According to the official bumf accompanying the second album from Damon Albarn’s multigenerational supergroup, Merrie Land is “a beautiful and hopeful paean to the England of today”. Drummer Tony Allen told the Guardian last week that it’s an album people can dance to. Both sentiments might surprise those picking up the record: the cover features an image of a terrified Michael Redgrave in Dead of Night, a film in which he plays a ventriloquist taken over by hi

• Josephine Foster: Faithful Fairy Harmony review – a dreamily unique talent

  16-11-2018 10:30
  FireFew artists have crafted a niche for themselves quite like Josephine Foster. The Colorado-based former funeral and wedding singer has sung Brahms and Schubert, interpreted poetry by Emily Dickinson, Rudyard Kipling and James Joyce and reimagined Spanish folk songs. She uses distinctive instrumentation – guitar, piano, organ, harp and autoharp – but really her vast oeuvre is all about her unmistakable voice. Dreamy, sometimes close to operatic, it dives and soars like a swallow as

• Hickory Signals: Turn to Fray review – woke folk marries poetry and poignancy

  16-11-2018 10:10
  (GF*M Records)Whopping understatement alert: folk music has never been the kindest genre to women. All those virgins led down to rivers by rogues to be deflowered and drowned; so many girls and mothers punished horribly, even fatally, for throwaway reasons. Hearing these songs revisited regularly reminds folk-lovers of history’s grimness, of course, but sometimes it can feel like the aural equivalent of watching another TV drama lingering on a beautiful dead body.

• Anderson .Paak: Oxnard review – knotty rapper weaves grit and glee

  16-11-2018 10:00
  (Aftermath Entertainment)Dr Dre’s 2015 album Compton lifted Anderson .Paak out of niche concern territory; the rap luminary signified his approval by sticking the 32-year-old on no fewer than six tracks. Now the pair join forces again, with Dre taking up production duties on .Paak’s third album. Named after the Californian coastal city where the musician was born, Oxnard forms the final instalment of his “beach series” of records, following on from his debut, Venice (2014

• Crack Cloud: how they used punk as a therapy against addiction

  The Vancouver multimedia collective mix Gang of Four with Fela Kuti and hip-hop while acting as a survival mechanism for their members and their fans
  Wedged on the tiny stage of Manchester venue Peer Hat, Canadian seven-piece Crack Cloud make an arresting spectacle. As well as playing conventionally, the four guitarists strum their guitars’ headstock, creating a high-pitched “ching” sound. Their furiously intense post-punk also takes in two keyboardists – one of whom is a

• Mumford & Sons on Jordan Peterson, the Grenfell tragedy – and being hated

  16-11-2018 07:00
  They’re a band that the British public love to sneer at, but they say it has long stopped bothering them. And, anyway, they have bigger fish to fry
  In Mumford & Sons’ decade-long existence, the band have become synonymous with waistcoats, tweed, tweed waistcoats and, most of all, a wildly popular strain of old-timey folk and Americana. Their Christian-tinged, banjo-fuelled sound turned them into one of the biggest-selling acts of the early 2010s, winning them Grammys, stage time
