Let's get loud because Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are back onstage together again.

In the middle of Halloween weekend, the friendly exes headed to Miami where they participated in a free concert for presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

As the couple expressed the importance of getting out and voting for Decision 2016, fans couldn't help but enjoy seeing the former couple on the same stage.

"I'm here to support two women, that I trust my life with, that I trust my children with, " Marc shared with the crowd. "This is a special time in history."

And while a few raindrops may have surfaced late into the night, it didn't stop nearly 8,000 concertgoers from dancing all night long.

"Thank you Florida for coming out tonight... it was amazing!!" Jennifer shared on Instagram after her performance. "#gohillary #strongertogether #govote #lovetrumpshate #Latinos #letsgetloud."

Marc added, "Honored to represent at last night's #GetLoud for @hillaryclinton Concert in #Miami with @jlo. Your vote is crucial! @magnusmediausa #ImWithHer #VoteHillary #LatinosUnidos #StrongerTogether #LoveTrumpsHate."

Just last month, E! __news confirmed that Marc's Magnus Media and Sony Music Latin will be developing and producing Jennifer's upcoming Spanish language album. In fact, the pair was recently back in the studio together where they were "making history."

"I am so excited and really looking forward to this new musical journey and to celebrate my Latin roots with Marc Anthony and the Sony/Magnus family," Jennifer shared in a statement.

Marc added, "She has had enormous accomplishments in her career and has been representing our culture all over the world from day one. Her artistry, professionalism and passion for music are just some of the many attributes that have earned her a unique place in the entertainment world that very few people have been able to obtain. I am looking forward to our creative collaboration and to be part of continuing her musical legacy."

Taylor Swift's Evolving CMA Awards Style Over the Years

Taylor Swift just rang in the 10-year anniversary of her very first single last week, not only making us feel a little old but also encouraging us to take a look back at her successful career over the last decade.

Though she's a mega pop star now, we'll never forget her start as a country singer from Nashville—that first single was appropriately titled "Tim McGraw"—and the way she affected country music in such a big way.

In fact, the 26-year-old has won 11 Country Music Association awards from 25 nominations throughout her early years in the industry. 

Thus, with the CMA awards coming up on Nov. 2, we decided to check out her looks from the show throughout the years and see how far she evolved in her style.

See for yourself below:

2006: Swift attended her first CMA Awards in 2006, the year her first song was released. She wore a black, floor-length Elvira gown with black gloves and her signature curly locks. The singer added an edgy touch with her smokey makeup. Though the look comes off a little vampy with her ivory skin and nude lips, we still think she rocked it.

2007: Swift attended her second-ever CMA Awards in something we might find in Loretta Lynn's closet. She opted for a prom-y, gold gown that fit the taste of a soon-to-be 17-year-old at the time.

Fashion awards aside, that year she took home the Horizon Award, which is now known as the Best New Artist award.

2008: T. Swift turned heads at the 2008 CMA Awards when she showed up in a gorgeous, body-hugging silver gown by Kaufman Franco with her hair pinned back in a sleek bun. She looked classy and chic and definitely proved she'd grown up a bit since her first time at the show.

2009: The singer looked like a total award-winning star at the 2009 show, wearing a gold Reem Acra gown that skimmed the floor. She pinned her hair back in an old-Hollywood style, which topped the look off just right.

Her sparkling attire was totally fitting for the night, too, as she took home a whopping five awards from her Fearless album.

2010: Once again, Swift was turning heads when she showed up in Nashville wearing this red hot gown. From the sweetheart cut to the perfect fit to her makeup, hair and accessories, everything about the look was total fire!

2011: Swift went for no sparkle and a whole lot of tulle at the 2011 CMA Awards, wearing this J. Mendel pre-fall 2011 gown.  The dove-grey dress featured a strapless top and an extra-long train, which she held as she went up to accept the coveted Entertainer of the Year award.

2012: Swift went for an extra-girly look in this nude and red embroidered Jenny Packham dress at the CMAs in 2012. She accessorized the style with her signature red lips, but ditched her curly locks for straighter tresses with bangs.

2013: Can you say holy wow? The singer totally stepped up her red carpet game with this insanely beautiful Elie Saab gown. The ensemble fit perfectly with her nominated song of the night, "Red," and proved the 22-year-old had definitely grown into her own sense of style.

The dress was also fitting for the awards she took home that year: the Pinnacle Award—which is given to an artist who has achieved global prominence through performance and record sales—as well as the International Artist Achievement Award. 

The Walking Dead's Melissa McBride Breaks Down Carol's Strange Trip to the Kingdom

The Walking Dead

AMC

After a particularly brutal season premiere that left us wondering just how much more of of this show we can even take, The Walking Dead slowed things down a bit for its second episode of the season.

Rather than return to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the gang as the attempted to pick up the pieces following Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) brutal murder of Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) and Glenn (Steven Yeun), we checked in with Carol (Melissa McBride) and Morgan (Lennie James). When last we saw them, Carol had been seriously wounded by a Savior, one who forced Morgan to abandon his "no kill" credo, and the pair were rescued by some strange looking folks wearing armor while riding horses.

As promised, this led to the Kingdom, an unusually jolly compound (Lunch cobbler! A choir!) led by the strange, but kind King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and his pet tiger, Shiva. As Carol recovered (and plotted her next escape), Morgan was made privy to Ezekiel's trade agreement with Negan (weekly payments of food in exchange for their safety) and enlisted to train one of Ezekiel's subjects in the way of aikido. When Carol finally put her escape plan into motion, she was confronted by Ezekiel, who dropped his larger-than-life persona, revealed he was just a former zookeeper only giving the people what they want, and pleaded with her to "go and not go."

In the end, she left the Kingdom, but took up residence in a house just outside of the compound. As she began to make herself comfortable, there was a knock at her door (and a roar), it was Ezekiel and Shiva coming for a visit. As the episode closed, we got one of the rarest TWD sightings: A genuine smile on Carol's face.

Why Glenn Had to Die on The Walking Dead

What does this all mean for Carol? To find out, E! __news got McBride on the phone to break the refreshingly light episode down. What follows is that conversation.

At the top of the episode, Carol's befuddled performance that she's giving Ezekiel as she's trying to figure out what the hell is going on was fun and so funny. What was it like getting to play that performance aspect?
It was a lot of fun, but I think she is genuinely befuddled and kind of mixing it up with her other persona because she doesn't know. She's playing it safe. But to answer your question, it was a lot of fun playing that. Getting those little looks between Carol and Morgan, me and Lennie—it was a lot of fun. It felt strange. It felt strange, you know? But I certainly enjoyed it.

Obviously, when she gets out of the auditorium, she's still as determined as ever to get away. What's going in Carol's mind in this her episode?
It is that determination. She's really trying to save herself in a way. She doesn't want to be around more people. She doesn't want to form new relationships. She doesn't want to be responsible for other people. She doesn't want to be obligated to anything. [Laughs] She just wants to get away. At the top of that episode, we see her seeing those walkers coming at her and morphing back into real people. At this point, she just really has had enough. Her spirit and her heart and her mind and everything she's had to do—she's had enough of seeing the death and then having to remember the people that are behind the death and the dead people that were somebody at some time.

Her relationship with Morgan is becoming one of our favorites on the show, especially the resigned respect they have for one another at the end of the episode when he takes her to the house. What's it been like developing this relationship with Lennie, evolving from the adversarial place they were at last season?
Gosh, you know, it's interesting because I think there is a little bit of me—I just have so much respect for Lennie and the work that he does and his mind frame on set and how he approaches things. We also approach things similarly, as far as how we work together, and I think that definitely is mirrored a little bit in their relationship and how Carol see him. She doesn't want to like him, she doesn't want to care. She doesn't want his help. She doesn't want to have to thank him for anything or look out for him.

She just wants to get away, but I think they both realize they're in a difficult spot on their own in this world, you know, where they stand and how they look at it. And it's not too far from one another. One was so over-zealous and lost, killing everything that moved and then found a different place to be in, where that really doesn't work either, he found. And Carol was just hellbent on obliterating the enemy before anything happened, and I think they're kind of in the middle where let's just try to avoid what we can while we can, I think. So there is a mutual understanding, to a certain capacity anyway.

The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere Deaths Bring in Huge Ratings

The big scene between Carol and Ezekiel at the end in the garden where he drops his King Ezekiel facade and really lets her know who he is was incredible to watch. How much of Ezekiel's plea to Carol got through her and has affected the person she was when she came into the Kingdom? After all, she did choose to go, but not go.
I think it affected her very deeply. It was like he was speaking her language, saying, 'I understand where you're at. Don't go all the way away. Take that time. I'll give you a place, and just go be there. Don't go away.' When he says 'Where there's life, there's hope. Where there's life, there's life'—I think she just needs to take baby steps back into it after all that's happened, you know? But she really did appreciate his own guard coming down...There was a lot of truth in what he said. Whether or not she wanted to hear it, I think in the end she heard what he was saying.

Tell me about getting to work with these new actors in this new world Carol's found herself in. Obviously, it's such a different lane for the show to drive in, with the humor and the outlandishness of King Ezekiel. What was it like?
For me, it was refreshing and it was surreal. We've never had anything like that, obviously. It was very different, and I was kind of alone out there. So being on set without any of our initial group of survivors, it was very strange. [Laughs] It was like, OK, well, this happens. We run into all different types of people, there's new factions. Carol's just found herself in a new place. I was just having fun. It was fun to shoot. It was great just seeing this whole refreshing new set and these people. You know, the new characters...The whole thing was refreshing to me and it was interesting to explore and fun. I'm kind of excited to see where all this is going.

When Ezekiel shows up at the house at the end and brings her the pomegranate, we end on that smile. It seemed to me like the first real smile we've seen from Carol in a very long time, if ever. How did it feel to let that genuine happiness creep in for the character?
So awkward! [Laughs] It's so awkward. It's kind of frightening. Should I even let this happen, having a smile crawl across my face? Does she even remember how? It's like, that's weird. This is new. It was awkward—and funny. But it was awkward. I really loved shooting this episode.

What can you tease about the road ahead for Carol as it relates to Ezekiel and this relationship she's building with him?
There's nothing! [Laughs] Well, they're building something. They're definitely building something. You never stop building when you're in the apocalypse. If you're not running, you're building.

Not having been in the premiere, what was it like to tune in and watch that?
Oh my God, I cried through the whole thing. As a viewer and coming to know these characters, it was heartbreaking. And the way that they shot it and the way it was edited, and the way Jeffrey Dean Morgan played that character and the way he went at killing those two, it was insane. I just hated him, and I hated that episode. That's one of my favorite episodes, and that makes me so mad.

That made me mad. I was like, 'How can I like that episode? Why in God's name do I think this is...'—One of the things I said is, 'This is really a beautiful episode. What is wrong with me? How did they make me feel that way?' I was watching it as a viewer who loves the show. And then, you know, they'll cut away and do something else and Negan says something—I mean, the line is funny. He says some funny stuff. And then I laugh, and I'm like, 'Why am I laughing? I hate them! Don't make me laugh! I don't like the way you make me feel.' You know what I mean? And then after it was over...it was like I didn't know what to do with myself. We all clapped when it was over because job well done for the cast and crew. And then we got up and were kind of dispersing, just looking at each other like, 'I don't know what to say.'

Did The Walking Dead Finally Go Too Far?

How has the cast been recovering from the loss of Steven and the loss of Michael? What's that process been like?
It's still really hard. We miss them so much. You just feel that void. You feel it. Nothing takes their place. But it's good that you can get a text, make a phone call, hear their voice, see them out at events and things like that. So, they're gone, but they're never far.

How important was it for this episode to be the one that followed that massive trauma of the premiere?
I think we kind of need to take a good breath and lighten up and see the fresh flowers. You know, get some chuckles and check in with our other characters. There is a lot of story to tell this season, I can tell you that. A lot.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.

American Horror Story Will Combine Coven and Murder House in a Future Season

Surprise, bitch! Bet you couldn't have predicted this news!

We're just over halfway through Roanoke and we haven't even heard __news of season seven, but we already know what a future season of American Horror Story will look like. Sort of.

Ryan Murphy participated in a panel for Scream Queens and American Horror Story at this EW's PopFest on Sunday and according to EW, he revealed that not only will AHS be revisiting both Murder House and Coven, but it will be revisiting them together, with characters from both seasons appearing at the same time.

"We do know what we're going to do," Murphy told the crowd. "It's not going to be next season, but we are going to do a season that's a crossover between Murder House and Coven together, which is very bizarre."

Bizarre is right!

Season one's Murder House followed a family (Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, and Taissa Farmiga) who moved from Boston to Los Angeles and accidentally bought a haunted house filled with ghosts and surrounded by some questionable neighbors.

Season three's Coven was about a group of witches in New Orleans, and while it wasn't quite as packed with scares as some other seasons, it was a whole lot of campy, witchy fun.

Murphy explained that the crossover won't take place next season because of scheduling issues. Hopefully, the extra time will mean we'll get to see more of our favorite actors from those seasons, like Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, and Emma Roberts, who starred in Coven. In our dreams, it also means the return of Jessica Lange, who starred in both seasons but left the show after season four. 

"I've [already] started going to actors from both of the seasons, quietly, saying, "I think in this window, if you could fit us in," he said. "So yeah, it's fun. It's weird."

Fun, weird, bizarre—whatever word you use to describe it, we cannot wait.

American Horror Story airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on FX.

Is Prince Harry Dating Meghan Markle? 5 Things to Know About the Royal Family Member's Rumored New Girlfriend

One of England's most famous faces may have just found an American girlfriend.

Many royal family watchers started their Sunday with a new report claiming Prince Harry is dating actress Meghan Markle.

"He's happier than he's been for many years," a source close to the Prince shared with the Sunday Express. "He's in a very relaxed period of his life and Meghan has come along at the right time. They are taking each week as it comes and just enjoying each other's company but it's fair to say that they love seeing each other and there's a definite chemistry between them."

While the Suits star has yet to comment on the romance rumors and the Palace doesn't comment on private matters, many fans are curious to learn a little more about this new girl who may be making Prince Harry one happy man.

We did some digging and here's what we've learned about this special lady.

Big and Small Screen Vet: While most viewers will recognize Meghan from her role as Rachel Zane in the USA Network series Suits, the actress has also appeared in movies including Horrible Bosses and Remember Me. She also has her own website where she gets to find some peace away from any red carpet. "What I do for a living is say someone else's words believably," she once shared with Ebony. "Now I get to say my own words and I try to remain authentic in it and in the way I live my life."

Power of Bracelets: To further fuel the romance speculation, Meghan was spotted on Instagram wearing beaded bracelets that are very similar to the ones Prince Harry has worn. And yes, some on the Internet have developed a theory that they were a gift from the royal family member. "#TBT to my solo trip to @sfhmembers," she captioned the photo. "#treatyourself #UK #sohohouse #farmhouse."

Love for London: While Prince Harry is always on the go and traveling around the world, it appears that Meghan certainly likes visiting London. This past summer, the actress shared photos on Instagram from her trips across the country.

Namaste: With such a busy schedule that often takes her far away from Los Angeles, Meghan has developed a method to remaining calm as she carries on. "I love Russell Simmons' Meditation Made Simple app. It easily encourages you to quiet your mind," she shared with Ebony. "From a practical sense, I've learned to vacate on a plane, which is huge because I travel so much…At this point of my life, everything I'm doing I'm really passionate about. So even when it's exhausting, I still enjoy it because it's purpose driven."

Feeling Good and Doing Good: Similar to Prince Harry, Meghan has an interest in foreign relations and helping those less fortunate than her. And while some may question how you can be both an actress and humanitarian, Meghan has an answer. "My mother raised me to be a global citizen, with eyes open to sometimes harsh realities," she wrote on her site. "'Don't look scared, flower,' she said. ‘Be aware, but don't be afraid.'"
