Music notes: Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift and more

Ariana Grande is nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role for Wicked: For Good at Sunday night's Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards. However, People reports she won't be attending because she's deep in rehearsals for her long-awaited Eternal Sunshine tour, her first trek in nearly seven years.

Does Taylor Swift watch reality competition shows? If her future mother-in-law is on them, apparently, yes.  Donna Kelce was a contestant on the Peacock series The Traitors, which just concluded its fourth season. During the reunion special, Donna confirmed that Taylor "is a watcher," adding, "So is her family. They love Traitors."

Hilary Duff's comeback has its first major success: Her new album luck ... or something has topped the charts in Australia. She'd previously scored top-10 albums with her 2004, 2005 and 2015 albums, but this is the highest she's ever gotten in that country.
