Taylor Swift goes instantly gold

Reputation, Taylor Swift’s sixth studio album, was released on Friday, and is on track to sell more copies in a single week than any other album will sell all year. 700,000 copies were sold in the United States on Friday alone, and the year's best-selling album so far (Ed Sheeran’s ÷) has sold only 909,000 copies total. As Billboard notes, Swift is "already the only act to have three different albums sell a million copies in a week, since Nielsen Music began tracking data in 1991."

So when's the tour? Billboard’s sources say that Swift is planning a tour announcement to coincide with her 28th birthday, on Dec. 13. The list of locations may already be known: there are 27 markets available to get in a virtual line for tickets as part of Swift's fan-reward program. Yes, one of those cities is Minneapolis. Since 25 of the 27 markets are home to NFL teams, observers are speculating that Swift is planning to play football stadiums next spring and summer. Odds are, then, that one of next year's biggest local concerts will be Taylor Swift at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Dylan guitar sells for $400K

A guitar played by Bob Dylan in the 1970s sold at auction on Saturday for $396,500. Most notably, the 1963 Martin D-28 acoustic was played by Dylan during the Rolling Thunder Revue tour and at George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh in 1971. That's a lot of money, but it's not as much as the $700,000 paid recently for Prince’s teal Cloud guitar, or the $1 million paid by Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay for the Stratocaster that Dylan played when he "went electric" at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
