WELCOME READERS to another Celebrating Diversity In The Entertainment Industry issue of Hollywood Weekly Magazine. This is a "Swiftie" issue because our cover feature is no other than the RECLAIMS HER LEGACY pop phenomenal Taylor Swift. Moving TAYLOR from country to pop music, her success was extraordinary. Following her re-release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), she dominated and made history in bringing home 9 trophies from the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Her tours and record sales made her to the list of billionaires. This issue also begins our HW VIP KIAN KAVOUSI AND HIS JOURNEY IN ACTING Series, showcasing the Best in L.A. and around the country. Rae Finn is A FRAGILE FLOWER A SHOWCASE AT THE ASIAN WORLD FILM FESTIVAL a sensational new fashion designer taking over Nashville with her clothing line "Hogwash 'n Rhinestones," and she is set to be the new "It Girl" in the Fashion world. From Beverly Hills we have Baren Business Management (Integrating your finances with peace of mind), and in L.A.'s "Miracle Mile" we have our local UPS heroes on the corner of Wilshire and Dunsmuir, near the historic La Brea Tar Pits. Straight from the world-famous Whiskey a Go Go on Sunset Blvd HW features three amazing performers. Two are high-energy bands from hit-makers Iron Gate Records: FRACTURED and SILVERSEL, these bands bring the heat to L.A.'s music scene. Finally, coming off of an incredible performance last Saturday night at the Whiskey a Go Go, singer/ musician Dylan Garcia. Dylan's performance was dedicated to his late brother, and the theme was mental health awareness. Dylan had guest speakers, beautiful music, and it was a fun, cathartic night of healing. Thank you, readers, for once again supporting Hollywood Weekly Magazine. We are nothing without you.
