KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Hope Solo is kicking off her cleats for some dancing shoes. It’s making her about as nervous as a World Cup final. The U.S. goalkeeper and international soccer icon will make her sole-sliding debut on the newest season of “Dancing With the Stars” on Monday night, joining NBA star Ron Artest as the latest athletes to try their hand at the foxtrot, two-step and the Viennese waltz. Pictures: “Dancing with the Stars” Season 13 “I don’t think I should have been the first from the team to be chosen for the show because of my dance moves,” Solo confided. “Lauren Cheney can really bust a move.” That may be true, but Solo is the one fast becoming a pop culture icon. After losing in crushing fashion at the World Cup final in Germany — a shootout defeat to Japan that has already gone down as one of the greatest women’s soccer games ever — Solo has exploded into the public consciousness, recognized by soccer fans, sports fans and the general public alike.

With Taylor Swift exclusively releasing her new video “Delicate” on Spotify last week, it would appear that her tiff with the music streaming giant is officially over. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told “CBS This Morning” on Tuesday that ending the feud took some time and travel by both parties. “I went to Nashville many, many times to talk to her team, spend more time directly explaining the model, why streaming mattered.

So eventually when the new album came out, she came to Stockholm and spent some time with our team there figuring out a way that made sense for her,” he said. In 2014 Swift pulled her entire catalog of music from Spotify because she felt the company wasn’t fairly compensating artists. “But look, I mean, for me, first off, like I – I should have done a much better job communicating this. So I take full ownership for doing that,” Ek said of the controversy. New video for #Delicate at midnight EST tonight.
