Iggy Azalea's Great Escape Tour Rescheduled, Loses Openers



>> Iggy Azalea's spring tour of North America has been rescheduled.

>> Last year, Woodkid was featured on the soundtrack for the film Divergent alongside M83, Ellie Goulding, Snow Patrol, and more.  Later this month, the film's sequel Insurgent will be released, and once again Woodkid graces the soundtrack with his song "Never Let You Down."

Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" Meets Game of Thrones



>> Full disclosure: I'm a huge nerd who's been waiting for an excuse to post about Game of Thrones for a long time now.

>> Freddy Scott recently transformed Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" into "Blank Page," a song GOT author George R.R. Martin sings in the video as he reflects on the power he holds over the realm. Martin, played here by Nick Mundy, is seen hanging out with (and occasionally threatening) Daenerys Targaryen, played by Emily Rudd. Jon Snow even makes an appearance towards the end (spoiler alert?). The song is so well done, and the video is bound to make any fellow Game of Thrones fan laugh.  Watch the parody below.





>> Want more GOT? Watch Natalie Dormer star in Hozier's latest video for "Someone New" here.
