Gracie Abrams, Aaron Dessner and Bon Iver have come together to honour victims of gun violence in the United States with a newly released charity song.

In a shared message posted to Instagram on Monday, the That’s So True singer, the National co founder, and Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon revealed they had collaborated on a track titled Sold Out.

“We made this song last year in the wake of a school shooting. (We were) reminded of it this week as our hearts were broken yet again,” they wrote. “It's a sad one to share during the holidays, but the world is hurting and we shouldn't look away.”

On the track, Abrams delivers the line, “The system works and we all stay terrified/ What are we doing here, think we got sold out/ Looks like another year without a way out.”

The release follows a shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island on 13 December that left two students dead and nine others injured, as well as a terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia the following day, where two gunmen killed 15 people during a Hanukkah celebration.

Sold Out is available to buy on the music platform Bandcamp for $5 (£3.70), with all proceeds going to the gun control advocacy organization Everytown.

“We are proud to support Everytown, an organization dedicated to ending gun violence in America,” they said. “We are releasing this song to raise awareness of their mission of reducing gun violence. Please visit their website for more information on the unbelievable work they do.”

They closed their statement by adding: “Sending so much love to you all.”

Responding to the gesture, a spokesperson for Everytown shared their appreciation, writing: “Beyond grateful for the support.”

Taylor Swift Drops New Easter Egg Hinting At Another Album

Taylor Swift has once again sent fans into full detective mode after a split second moment in the finale of her Disney+ docuseries End of an Era appeared to quietly suggest that another new album could already be taking shape.

In the closing seconds of Episode 6, a title card appears on screen outlining Swift’s achievements following the Eras Tour. One particular line immediately caught fans’ attention: “On October 3, 2025, Taylor released her 12th studio album. The biggest album of her career.” After a brief pause, two additional words appear: “To date.”

The subtle tease arrives as Swift continues to enjoy the overwhelming success of The Life of a Showgirl, her current chart topping release, which is also celebrated throughout the series. The album has already shattered modern sales records and spent several weeks at Number 1, firmly securing its place as a defining moment in her career. Still, the wording of the title card, especially the deliberate addition of “to date”, has Swifties convinced she is hinting that album 13 is closer than anyone realises.

The mysterious moment also follows recent comments that made it clear Taylor has no plans to step out of the spotlight anytime soon.

While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the global star addressed criticism suggesting she should step aside and make room for others.

She brushed off the idea with her usual honesty, explaining to the host that some people want her to disappear so they can talk about her in the past, but she has no interest in doing that.

Her response reinforced her determination to remain front and centre in popular culture, even after nearly two decades of chart dominance. With the record breaking Eras Tour commanding headlines throughout 2023 and 2024, Swift has shown that her momentum is far from slowing.

Taylor also opened up about the fact that she does not consider herself a “chill” person.

The Fate of Ophelia hitmaker, who wrapped up her 21 month Eras Tour in December 2024, shared that while she knows how to relax, slowing down has never really been part of her nature because she always feels the need to stay busy.

Colbert asked the Grammy winner how she deals with the emotional shift that comes when a long running project comes to an end, especially as his own show approaches its final months.

She explained that in this particular situation, she could not fully relate, but noted that both of them are highly driven people who struggle to switch off when they take time away.

She added that even during breaks, she cannot quiet the urge to get up and fill her day with activity, though she has learned to change what those activities look like.

Taylor concluded by saying she can find ways to unwind, but she will never truly be laid back, joking that hobbies like baking bread or cross stitching give her something to focus her energy on, calling them unexpectedly wonderful outlets.
