Taylor Swift appears to be Charlie Puth’s ‘Hero’ in just-dropped track
Charlie Puth is giving thanks to a “hero” in his life, and it’s pretty easy to deduce the person in question is none other than Taylor Swift.
The “One Call Away” singer dropped a new single titled “Hero” on Friday, which appears to be in response to Swift’s lyrical callout of him last month in the title track of her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
In that song, Swift sang in the second verse, “You smoked, then ate seven bars of chocolate / We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.”
On Friday night, Puth posted about his new song – which would be akin to the opposite of a diss track – on Instagram, in a video clip showing him lip-synching to the track.
In text pasted over the video, Puth acknowledged that “the last couple of weeks have been really crazy for obvious reasons,” but that now he had something to share with his fans and followers.
He then wrote the new song is “about my friend called ‘Hero,’” and that sometimes he gets “a little nervous being overly honest in my music which is why this was sitting on my hard drive for awhile.”
“But I think someone out there was giving me a sign that I needed to release it,” Puth continued.
“So… I Declare that ‘Hero’ will be out everywhere on May 24th as the first single of my new album,” he added, a lyrical nod to Swift’s declaration on “Poets.”
He wrote in the caption, “Thank you…you know who you are.”
Puth is well-documented in his musical appreciation of Swift.
Not only has he been known to cover her songs while in concert, but in 2022 a video of him praising her musical talents made the rounds.
“Sidebar, this has nothing to do with anything – Taylor Swift is the queen of these types of chords,” he told attendees at his New York City concert at the time, as he played her song “Teardrops On My Guitar.”

Danielle Fishel Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis: Emphasizes the Importance of Early Detection
Reading Time: 3 minutesDanielle Fishel, widely known for her iconic role as Topanga Lawrence on the popular 90s sitcom “Boy Meets World,” recently shared a deeply personal health update with her fans. On her podcast, Pod Meets World, Fishel revealed that she has been diagnosed with a form of breast cancer known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Fortunately, the cancer was caught at a very early stage, which has given her a positive outlook on her treatment and recovery.
Fishel, 43, opened up about how her diagnosis came to light. She explained that it was during a routine mammogram that doctors discovered the DCIS, which is often referred to as stage zero breast cancer. This form of cancer affects the cells within the milk ducts of the breast, and while it hasn’t spread into the surrounding breast tissue, it has the potential to develop into invasive cancer if left untreated.
In her podcast, Fishel expressed her gratitude for catching the cancer so early, attributing it entirely to her decision not to delay her annual mammogram. She emphasized the importance of routine screenings, urging her listeners to prioritize their health and schedule regular check-ups. “The only reason I caught this cancer at stage zero is because I made the appointment,” Fishel shared. She stressed how easy it would have been to put off the screening, especially when life gets busy, but underscored that early detection is key to managing and treating such diagnoses.
Fishel’s message was clear: don’t wait. “If you have to find out you have cancer, find out when it’s at stage zero if possible,” she advised. Her story is a powerful reminder that regular health screenings can save lives, as early detection offers the best chance for a positive outcome.
The actress also reflected on her initial reaction to the diagnosis, admitting that her first instinct was to keep the news private. She considered telling only a small group of close friends and family, choosing to “suffer in silence” until after her treatment was complete. However, Fishel was inspired by author Glennon Doyle, who often speaks about the importance of sharing one’s experiences while still in the midst of them, rather than waiting until after the fact. Fishel realized that by sharing her journey publicly, she could help others who might be facing similar challenges.
Throughout her announcement, Fishel’s longtime friends and podcast cohosts, Will Friedle and Rider Strong, offered their full support. They assured her that they would be flexible with the podcast schedule, allowing her to focus on her health and recovery. Friedle also took the opportunity to remind listeners about the importance of men’s health screenings, such as prostate exams and colonoscopies, emphasizing that these are equally crucial for early detection of cancer.
As Fishel navigates her treatment and the decisions ahead, she remains optimistic and grateful for the early detection. Her willingness to share her story is a powerful call to action for others to take their health seriously, stay on top of regular screenings, and seek medical advice promptly if something doesn’t feel right.
In closing, Fishel’s message resonates strongly: life is precious, and taking proactive steps for your health can make all the difference. By choosing to speak out about her experience, she hopes to encourage others to prioritize their well-being and potentially save lives through early detection.

Skai Jackson Arrested After Public Altercation with Boyfriend: Pregnant Disney Star Faces Legal Trouble
Reading Time: < 1 minuteFormer Disney Channel star Skai Jackson, known for her role in “Jessie,” found herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons last week. The actress was arrested on August 9, 2024, after a public altercation with her boyfriend at Universal CityWalk in Hollywood, California.
The incident unfolded when security personnel at Universal CityWalk observed Jackson and her boyfriend engaging in a heated argument. According to witnesses and footage reviewed by authorities, Jackson allegedly pushed her boyfriend multiple times. Security intervened and detained the couple until the police arrived on the scene.
Jackson was arrested on charges of misdemeanor domestic battery and was cited before being released a few hours later. The case is now under review by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office to determine if further legal action will be taken.
Despite the charges and the apparent evidence, both Jackson and her boyfriend have denied any physical altercation. The couple claims they are happily engaged and expecting a child together. This unexpected turn of events has left many of Jackson’s fans shocked and concerned.
Skai Jackson, who gained viral fame as a meme in 2016, has largely kept her personal life out of the public eye. This incident marks a rare glimpse into her private world, which has now become the subject of widespread media attention.
While Jackson’s legal troubles are under scrutiny, this situation has also sparked comparisons to other former Disney Channel stars who have faced legal issues, such as Orlando Brown and Mitchel Musso.
As the story continues to develop, fans and followers are eagerly waiting for more updates on Jackson’s situation and her future in the entertainment industry.
