Result of Computer Science: Release Album Nostalgic

computer science
The computer science phenomenon in 2014, with the release of the album 1989, a nostalgic simulacrum of the pop style of the 1990s.

“It remained a guilty pleasure for a few years, with Miley Cyrus. After a while, I really became a fan. I started buying all the albums on vinyl. Her music ended up becoming a part of my life,” confides the 38-year-old from Lyon. According to her, the evolution of the French public explains the success of Taylor Swift today. “A few years ago, if you said that the Spice Girls were great, people might look askance at us. Today, with nostalgia for the 1990s, we relax about this style. » Building a real community of fans is close to his heart. 

When will organize a weekend dedicated to the singer at the end of September 2024, in the Rhône-Alpes, to “study her work in a serious way with a festive side”. Remember that the metaphors and secrets of Taylor Swift's texts constantly fascinate her fans.

Long-time Swifties say they are happy to see their community growing in France. “I think it’s cool. Quite a few of us have been UFOs in our circles of friends. People still label us as childish today, because Taylor is feminine and young... I find that very reductive,” laments Lucie Dumée, a 32-year-old civil servant in Toulon (Var). “I felt a little alone,” summarizes Fiona Cabille, a 28-year-old florist in Pau, “when you're a teenager, you're very romantic, very romantic. Taylor Swift is the profile of the young American, blonde… I was addicted to that! » She describes an extraordinary community of Swifties, whose patent principles are mutual aid and solidarity. “I haven't had any bad experiences with other fans, especially on social media. It’s rare enough to be underlined,” she insists.

This observation seems to be unanimous among the artist's admirers of the Facebook group “Taylor Swift Eras Tour France”. She remembers her disastrous concert at the Zénith: “It was really catastrophic in 2011. The room was half empty, Taylor left convinced that the French didn't like her. Today, with the group effect, everyone is talking about it. Finally ! » Paradigm change for these early Swifties, who extricated themselves from isolation, from the shadows, in order to come together in broad daylight and on social networks. Aimed at their “benevolent” community, they all have the same message: “Enjoy! »

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce broke up by Western Final Oilers vs. Stars

super bowl champion
The presence of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and friend of Taylor Swift at the American Airlines Center did not go unnoticed

Travis Kelce has decided to experience Stanley Cup playoff fever.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended Game 2 of the Western Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center on Saturday. He was spotted in a dressing room with friends.

On social media, the Stars joked that they had a Blank Space on their jersey so Kelce could write his name on it, a reference to the song by his friend, singer Taylor Swift.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes let it be known that his teammate was not welcome in his native region…

Kelce then responded by exposing his inability to skate.

The Stanley Cup semifinal will be the ninth all-time post-season meeting Oilers vs. Stars

Earlier this year, the three-time Super Bowl champion revealed his love of hockey and Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard in an episode of his New Heights podcast.

Oilers vs. Stars

The Oilers began Game 2 on Saturday how they wanted to by building a 16-5 shot advantage in the opening frame, but they couldn't turn that up-tempo start into an advantage when Connor Brown's first of the playoffs that came 44 seconds after Jamie Benn's opening goal went down as Edmonton's only chance of many that they capitalized on in the opening 20 minutes.

Dallas began to respond over a scoreless middle stanza before Mason Marchment's tip-in less than four minutes into the final frame demonstrated just how slim the margin for error can be when you're this deep into the playoffs.

The forward's goal proved to be the difference to secure the Stars a split of the series after the Oilers' offence came up empty in the final three-quarters of the period against a committed Dallas defence willing to block shots and win battles.

Billie Eilish Sparked Rumors About Taylor Swif

double album sparkled rumors
Billie Eilish Sparked Rumors About Taylor Swift Beef With Her 'Useless' Vinyl Comments, So Eilish Responded, also talking about the newest albums released on the music market, e.g. The Tortured Poets Department and Hit Me Hard and Soft.

A few days ago, Billie Eilish made comments about how some artists were engaging in the "unnecessary" practice of releasing multiple vinyl variants of their double album. Some thought Eilish's criticism was aimed at Taylor Swift, but now Eilish is setting the record straight.

Last night (March 31), Eilish wrote in an Instagram Story post: "Okay, it would be so awesome if people stopped putting words in my mouth and actually read what I said in this article on notice board. I wasn't targeting anyone, these are systemic, industry-wide issues. And when it comes to variations, many artists are releasing them – including ME! what I clearly say in the article. the climate crisis is happening now and it's about all of us being part of the problem and trying to do better, shesh.

As for what Eilish actually said in the Billboard interview published on March 28, here are few lines:

Eilish says she lives in a time where, for whatever reason, it's very important for certain artists to make all kinds of different vinyls and packaging... which increases sales and numbers and makes them more money and brings them more...

Of course, that counts for No. 1 albums. It is just a small and innocent hint related to Hit Me Hard and Soft and The Tortured Poets Department

Eilish can’t even express to you how wasteful this is. It's right in front of hes eyes and people are getting away with it left and right, and she find it really frustrating as someone who's really doing everything possible to be sustainable and do the best they can and try to involve everything the world. on her team to be sustainable – and then it's some of the biggest artists in the world creating 40 different fucking vinyl packs that have one unique thing, just to entice you to keep buying more. It's so wasteful, and it's irritating to her that we're still at a point where you care so much about your numbers and making money - and it's all your favorite artists doing this shit .

A result of computer science job:

 

The Tortured Poets Department
Taylor Swift is idolized by fans and critics for many things, but cardiac massage is a whole new one. And yes, the star recently released a song called “The Tortured Poets Department” which, according to American doctors from the American Heart Association, has “the perfect rhythm for a heart massage”, i.e. 110 beats per minute.

The group of doctors humorously posts on their social networks: “If you see a teenager or adult collapse, call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the rhythm of 'The Tortured Poets Department'”.

It’s the hour of glory for French fans of Taylor Swift, long perceived as “UFOs” or “kids”

In 2024, who in France doesn't know Taylor Swift? All you have to do is go down the street and greet the first passer-by. At the very least, he will have heard about the American singer who chose Paris then Lyon for the resumption of her new world tour, the Eras Tour. Nearly 300,000 tickets were sold, largely to its most loyal fans, commonly known as “Swifties”.

But it has not always been this way in France. If the pop star, personality of the year 2023 according to Time magazine, has several hundred million fans around the world, her success outside the United States has been a long time coming abroad. And particularly in France.

A niche artist

In 2009, Taylor Swift was 20 years old and had just released her second country album, the reckless Fearless. It was the best-selling album in the United States that year and it was with it that she launched her first tour, the Fearless Tour, and then Tortured Poets Department double album. Only in English-speaking countries, except for a stop in Tokyo on February 17, 2010.

Marie Cordier, a midwife living near Annecy (Haute-Savoie), remembers with nostalgia this time when the singer entered her life. “I discovered it while listening to Radio Disney, via the Internet. I was also a Disney Channel fan. She was starting to break through in America, but not at all in France,” says this inveterate enthusiast of American culture, now 27 years old. “I always wondered why I got hooked so quickly. Country is not the kind of music you listen to at 12 years old... But it was above all the texts and lyrics that grabbed me: I immediately recognized her talents as a lyricist,” he assures. She.

In the memory of these early Swifties, their young American idol played little or no time on the French airwaves. Most discovered it on Anglo-American radio or television channels. This is the case of Dina Carraca, 31 years old. “French culture, in 2006, was not very US. I started hearing about her because I watched MTV a lot. One thing led to another, and I became interested in Taylor Swift,” explains this medical device sales manager in Cher. She particularly remembers the altercation, on the set of the MTV Awards, between Kanye West and Taylor Swift who had just won the prize. While she was singing on stage, the rapper interrupted her and snatched the trophy from her hands, loudly proclaiming that it should go to Beyoncé.

For American Idol Taylor Swift, the number 89 has a certain significance

American Idol
Let's talk about Taylor Swift debut “Guilty as Sin?” » and mashup songs from “1989” at the 89th “Eras Tour” concert

The American Idol Taylor Swift performed “Guilty As Sin?” " for the first time during one of his concerts on the "Eras" tour, and used the 89th concert of the tour to create a mashup of songs from his album "1989".

The moment took place during the singer's second of three performances in Sweden last week, which also marked the 89th concert of her record-breaking "Eras" tour.

For Swift, the number 89 has a certain significance: not only is 1989 the year she was born, but it also marks the title of her successful fifth album which she shared in 2014. So, to celebrate the occasion by Sweden, the pop legend had a few surprises during the set.

They took place as Swift launched into the surprise songs section of the live show, which usually sees her perform two songs that aren't usually in the setlist. But for the second concert in Stockholm, she offered the audience four titles.

The first was the beginning of “Guilty As Sin?” – a track from his latest album “The Tortured Poets Department”, which was performed live for the first time.

"Welcome to the acoustic session," she said before launching into the song (via Rolling Stone). “When we do a show like this, it's just not the case, we don't even feel like we're exerting any energy, because you're just fueling us all night.

“Thank you for being that kind of crowd.” You know, it makes me want to play one of my favorite songs from ‘Tortured Poets’ that I’ve never played live before,” she added. Find images of the performance below.

It was from there that Swift delivered another surprise to the audience by performing a mashup of three songs from the album “1989” to mark the 89th concert.

“It’s crazy because it really feels like the beginning of the tour,” Swift said while sitting at a piano. “But this is actually our 89th show. » From there, she performed a hybrid of “Say Don't Go” – taken from the Vault version of the album – as well as 1989's “Welcome to New York” and “Clean”.

The setlist surprises were also seen the following night, as Swift wrapped up the finale of her three shows in the city and released the first-ever rendition of "How Did It End?" from “The Tortured Poets Department" double album.

Swift will continue to perform across Europe and will visit the UK and Ireland in June. This will include eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London this summer as part of the run, with support from Paramore.

Her concerts are expected to boost the British economy to the tune of £1 billion. Although most of the money will likely be spent on accommodation, tickets, transport and merchandise, an estimated fifth of the 1.1 million ticket holders for the singer's 15 UK dates Uni in June and August will purchase new outfits specifically for concerts.

Flights to Stockholm's Swift-flation -Taylor Swift's three concerts

fans queue before Goldrush Swift-flation
Stockholm welcomes megastar Taylor Swift on Friday for the second European leg of her "Eras" tour, to the great benefit of hotels and businesses in the Swedish capital.

In "Goldrush", a song taken from her album Evermore (2020), the American artist assures that she does not like "goldrush es" but the Scandinavian city is happy about it and the home page of her website proudly displays "Welcome to Swiftholm". There is  a lot of flights to Stockholm these days.

With the weak Swedish krona, coming to one of Taylor Swift's three concerts in Stockholm may prove to be a relatively good deal for the artist's fans, despite soaring hotel room prices. Her performance will include Goldrush, of course

"In total, around 150,000 people will attend his concerts in Stockholm, including 120,000 who came especially for this occasion and we estimate that they will spend around half a billion Swedish crowns (40.5 million euros) during their stay here ", Carl Bergkvist, chief economist at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, told AFP.

 Enough to raise concerns about an increase in inflation. Swift-flation, what is it?

Fans buy merchandise before American singer Taylor Swift's concert as part of her Eras Tour in Stockholm, Sweden on May 17, 2024. Goldrush is part of tis kind of Swift-flation.

Last year, the first two dates of Beyoncé's world tour in Stockholm were cited by an economist as contributing to higher-than-expected inflation in May for the country.

This well known economist, Michael Grahn, does not exclude a similar effect this year with Taylor Swift provided that the impact is higher.

“Price pressures would have to be even stronger this year than last year for this to be reflected in the inflation figures,” he said in a note published by Danske Bank.

Central bank governor Erik Thedéen notes that the influx of “Swifties” to Stockholm for the weekend is also a sign of an undervalued crown.

“Coming to Stockholm is apparently a good deal,” he noted.

As for the “Swifties” met by AFP, money is not a problem.

"I spent around 7,500 crowns (643 euros) in total for the three tickets. I think it's worth it," admitted Filippa, 21, who came early Friday morning to queue in front of the stadium hosting the concert. No word related to Swift-flation

Taylor Swift Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift adopts the chic manicure trend for summer 2024

It’s well known that fashions come and go. The same with French tip nails. Among the big trends from the 1990s that are making a comeback: the manicure that Taylor Swift wore to Super Bowl.

To cheer on her lover Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs team against the San Francisco 49ers, Taylor Swift looked stunning through and through.

The pretty singer has chosen THE manicure trend for summer 2024, that of white nail polish in a monochrome version.

In 2024, for the hot season to come, nails will be adorned with simplicity and elegance.

Immaculate white will undoubtedly be the big star of manicures.

Even Taylor Swift has succumbed to this pure and intense shade. So no doubt, this will be THE way to paint our fingers in the months to come.

If white is eternal, it is also easy to wear. Once placed on our nails, this polish perfectly complements classic modern looks up to nineties styles.

How to wear white nail polish?

Be careful, French tip nails require some precautions. The first rule of this chic manicure trend is to apply it impeccably and meticulously. Therefore, your nails must be perfectly filed and hydrated, for an ultra clean finish.

White varnish is best used on short nails and should be used when our complexion is slightly golden. No doubt, it’s a real summer varnish!

This chic manicure trend will be enhanced when paired with XXL rings to energize your outfit. As you can see in photo kissing Travis Kelce

Will They Get Married? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Relationship (II)

world love story
This is the continuation of a previous post

September 24, 2023

Everything really changed on September 24 when Swift made an appearance at Arrowhead Stadium in Kelce's dressing room. Alongside Kelce's mom and a few friends, Swift became a huge Chiefs fan for the evening, decked out in exclusive all-red Chiefs merchandise. Her classic red lip matched the dress code perfectly. It's funny how quickly Swift accepted Kelce's invitation, but the whole world seemed to be cheering for Swift even more than Kelce. And the love story was in the air ...

Chiefs players looked up with amazed smiles on their faces, and Kelce himself did the same with an extra twinkle in his eye. Cameras captured Swift's every reaction to the plays and once caught her yelling, "Let's fucking do it." Almost all the photos and video clips have gone viral Will they get married soon?.

Even though so many distractions could have affected the players' performances, it seemed like they all wanted to impress Swift enough to win 41-10.

Swift and Kelce left the stadium together, with Swift still wearing red and Kelce wearing blue (perhaps a nod to her next release, 1989's Taylor's Version). The two men left in Kelce's convertible with no security in sight. Sources say the two met the team and their loved ones at a restaurant, where they celebrated until nearly 2 a.m.

As the numbers started rolling in, it became clear that Taylor Swift was dominating the world love story. Travis Kelce's jersey sales jumped 400%, an increase in specifically female NFL viewers, and Kelce's Instagram follower count skyrocketed, according to Newsweek.

September 25, 2023

A source told People that it's not yet the right time to get married, "Taylor is very focused on her work right now and spending time with her girlfriends. Travis invited her to the game and of course she said 'yes,'" the source said. “She just thought it was a fantastic way to spend a Sunday.

Maybe this appearance didn't confirm a sure love story, but many fans latched onto rumors that the two got closer after the match.

September 27, 2023

The world has been eagerly awaiting Jason and Travis Kelce's weekly podcast episode, released on September 27. And Travis Kelce kept his promises. "Thanks to Taylor for stopping by. That was pretty cheeky," he said as Jason Kelce laughed. “I just thought it was great to see that everyone in the suite had nothing but good things to say about her,” he said earnestly. "She was beautiful. Everyone talked about her in a great light."

October 1, 2023

At this point, all the Swifties were looking for a clue that Kelce and Swift were officially together and would go public with their relationship. Although it was still early days and there was still a chance that a breakup between Travis and Taylor could happen, as she was in the middle of a demanding world tour and he was on the road to the Superbowl, all the Swifties were rooting. for this relationship.

Swift reappeared at the Chiefs' next game on October 1. This time, Swift was dressed in a black shirt and jeans as she paraded among a long list of celebrity guests, including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner, Sabrina Carpenter, Hugh. Jackman, as well as his brother Austin Swift. Like before, the cameras couldn't help but turn to her, gushing over her rumored boyfriend. “Look at him,” she was seen saying.

October 4, 2023

After the NFL focused the cameras on Swift, changed its social media handles to now refer to her, and added promotion of the Eras Tour film, Jason Kelce asked on his Oct. 4 New Heights podcast episode: "The NFL in she's doing too much." Travis Kelce admitted, "They're overdoing it a little bit. I think they're just trying to have fun with it."

Despite the level of media coverage, Travis Kelce seems to agree – at least for now.

And with a romance-filled public appearance almost every week, we're all here for it. After all, we all want our favorite pop star to be happy and then get married.

If you've been following pop culture news in recent months, you'll know about the vast tradition that has developed. But if you missed all the details, L'OFFICIEL is here to tell you what you shouldn't miss. From the first days of courtship to the (speculative) murky waters or rumors of Travis and Taylor's breakup, make-ups, engagement or beyond, we'll be keeping tabs for you on every moment of Kelce and Swift's relationship timeline .

July 26, 2023

After attending Swift's Eras tour in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 8, Kelce revealed that he tried to give her a friendship bracelet during her show, but was unsuccessful. bring it to him. “I wanted to give one to Taylor Swift with my number on it,” he said on an episode of his New Heights podcast. The internet roared after this comment and the rumor mill began. Will they get married?

September 14, 2023

In an interview published on September 14, Andrew Siciliano, an NFL Network host, asked Kelce about the dating rumors that began circulating after the friendship bracelet debacle. "I said what I said. And I meant what I said when I said it. And you know what, it is what it is," Kelce revealed. He quickly continued, "I'm not going to talk about my personal life." But everything seems to change a few weeks later.

Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce's brother and Philadelphia Eagles player, also said in a September 14 interview, "I've seen those rumors. I can't comment."

September 17, 2023

After this tiny confirmation, NFL announcer Ian Eagle ran with it. Taylor Swift-inspired jokes infiltrated sports talk as Eagle uttered the now-famous line: “Kelce finds an empty spot for the score!” (Referring to the song Blank Space, editor’s note).

September 18, 2023

And so the pun challenge begins. Another sportscaster, Rich Eisen, outdid Eagle. In an effort to incorporate as many of Swift's song titles into his commentary, Eisen mentioned "Delicate," "Shake It Off," "All Too Well" and "Anti-Hero" to name a few . The Bachelor himself commented, "Well done, Rich…. Well done," sending sports and pop culture fans into a frenzy.

September 20, 2023

The freezy only got worse on September 20, when Jason Kelce nearly confirmed the celebrity couple. “It's hard to answer because I don't know much about Travis' love life,” Jason Kelce said on a SportsRadio 94 WIP show. “I think this is all 100% true, and I hope this thing goes a long way.” Almost as quickly as he had confirmed it, he backtracked. “No, I’m just kidding, I don’t know what’s going on.”

Although this brotherly joke may not have carried any weight at the time, it may have contained some truth. Apparently, none of Kelce's brothers would confirm the relationship, for fear that Travis and Taylor could break up before their relationship even gets off the ground.

September 21, 2023

With his smile and a few laughs, Kelce gave his most candid answer on The Pat McAfee Show. He admitted that "the ball is in his court."

"I told him, 'I saw you rock the stage at Arrowhead. Maybe you should come see me rock the stage at Arrowhead and see which one is a little more lit.' So we'll see what happens in the near future."

Once Kelce confirmed that he had invited Taylor Swift to a game, the internet, and Swifties in particular, went wild predicting when she might show up.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, love around the world

love story
Since September 2023, rumors claimed that Taylor Swift was in a relationship with American football player Travis Kelce. Now, the couple has made their relationship official, and appears more in love than ever on all occasions. The sportsman did not hesitate to follow her on part of her tour. Will he be there for the singer's French concerts?

"It's a love story, baby just say yes", sang Taylor Swift in one of her most iconic songs ("Love Story" released in 2008). . The singer, and in particular her romantic relationships, have caused a lot of ink to flow in the past, since all of them have been widely commented on. But the one she has with Travis Kelce is very special, since the athlete seems to be overflowing with love, and determined to show it.

Travis Kelce wanted to seduce Taylor Swift

The American football player, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, has never hidden his crush on the singer. During his appearance on the podcast "The Pat McAfee Show", he revealed that he had invited her to one of his matches to try to seduce her, after having attended one of his concerts himself, at the occasion of the Era's Tour. He even tried, on this occasion, to leave her his phone number, on a friendship bracelet (a tradition at Taylor Swift concerts; editor's note).

The first romance rumors relayed by the tabloids appeared in September 2023, after the singer attended several of the athlete's matches. In October 2023, the couple made their budding relationship official during an evening on the show “Saturday Night Live”, appearing hand in hand. A few days later, on his podcast "New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce", the American football player confirmed that they had indeed had a romantic date: "I have the impression that every time I go on a date I always feel like I'm the man for the job, I'm protective, yeah, of course You always have that feeling – or that self-awareness. , i guess."

Unwavering support

Since then, Taylor Swift has been spotted several times in the stands of American stadiums, always dressed in red to support her new companion. She was accompanied there by the mother of her new lover, but also by her friends: Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sabrina Carpenter... The converse is also true: Travis Kelce regularly attends his girlfriend's concerts, even if it means see your carbon footprint blamed for taking the plane.

During a concert in Buenos Aires, on November 11, 2023, Taylor Swift winked at the athlete by modifying the lyrics of her song “Karma”, to declare: “Karma is this Chiefs player (Travis Kelce's team; editor's note) who always comes back to me." A moment captured several thousand times on video and widely shared on social networks.

Taylor Swift's rare statements about her love story

Scalded by the numerous criticisms suffered in the past over her love songs and her private life, Taylor Swift has only spoken about her new romance on rare occasions. In the columns of the Times, which named her personality of the year 2023, the singer confided that it all started when “Travis (her) displayed it in his podcast”, which she found “very punk” . "We started dating right after that. So we spent a lot of time together on the sly, which I'm grateful for because we got to know each other."

The opportunity for the singer to clarify that their couple relationship began before she attended his matches: "I think some people think they saw our first date at this match? We would never be psychotic enough to do That."

The Super Bowl, Taylor Swift's magnificent proof of love

On February 11, 2024, Travis Kelce's team won one of the most iconic sporting events in the world: the Super Bowl. Taylor Swift was there to encourage her companion. A feat since, less than 24 hours earlier, she was performing in concert in Japan, on the other side of the planet. “Thank you for crossing the world for me my darling,” he whispered to her after the match, as he hugged her. “You really are the best.”

Since then, the couple relationship has completed several appearances as a duo, but have yet to appear on the red carpet together. Some people hope to see them at the next Met Gala, scheduled for May 6, 2024. However, since Taylor Swift is scheduled to perform on May 9, 2024 in Paris, during the European branch of Era's Tour, her presence has not yet been confirmed. On the other hand, it would not be surprising to come across the sportsman in the Parisian streets to come and support his sweetheart.

Learn about 2024 Met Gala theme"sleeping beauties"

The Met Gala, often referred to as “fashion’s biggest night,” is fast approaching. But what exactly is this event and why does it generate so much enthusiasm every year?

On the night of first Monday of May, i.e. May 6, the worlds of cinema, fashion, music, sports, politics and social media will come together to grace the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art at his annual Costume Institute benefit.

Upon entering the fashion museum, guests walk past what is, usually special for Met Gala, an incredibly huge floral arrangement in the lobby, with perhaps an orchestra playing nearby, and head to a cocktail. Or, they head to the exhibition this biggest night.

 Cocktails take place around 6-8 p.m., followed by dinner, but the most famous – or those who plan to make the biggest entrance – sometimes come (fashionably) later.

Celebrities from around the world will gather for cocktails, dinner and exploring the latest exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

What does this year's fashion’s biggest night Met Gala theme mean?

This year's theme revolves around "sleeping beauties", but has little to do with fairy tales.

“Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the title of the accompanying exhibition, refers to garments from the Costume Institute collection that have been “sleeping” and will now be on display, some too fragile to hang upright. afraid of disintegrating.

All eyes will be on Zendaya, the internet's favorite fashion biggest night icon and method dresser. This will be Zendaya's first Met Gala appearance since 2019, when she turned heads as sleeping beauties Cinderella, with a bright ballgown and her stylist Law Roach as her “fairy godmother.”

Curator Andrew Bolton selected 250 pieces spanning four centuries.

The fashion’s biggest night theme is accompanied by a dress code: this year, it is “Le Jardin du Temps”. The theme and dress code are often interpreted… loosely. So you may see an aurora on the carpet after all.

With Taylor Swift best dressed all the time, global pop has found its queen

“Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour”, a film shot during concerts that the best dressed American pop star gave this summer in California, as part of her phenomenon tour, is released and seen as sleeping beauties in theaters in more than a hundred countries . 

At 33, she is at the top of world pop. John Gapper, columnist for the “Financial Times”, recalls the talent, flair and will it took to get there.

In lyris of her song The Man, Taylor Swift, my favorite superstar, considers that she would have been more respected artistically if she had been a man. “They'd say I hustled, put in the work / They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve” really deserved”).

That being said, or sung, the best dressed singer doesn't seem to let herself get down. It was around the time of the release of Taylor Swift's second album, fifteen years ago, that I became hooked on her addictive genius; I listened to Fearless on repeat in my car all year while traveling the United States. I never imagined for a second that this talented sleeping beauties young woman of 19 years old, singer and songwriter of pop but also country, would reign uncontested over the world of music. No doubt I had also underestimated sleeping beauties.

Taylor Swift [completed the American leg of her tour called “The Eras Tour” on August 9. Hundreds of thousands of fans invaded the cities where she performed, stormed hotels and restaurants, and spent an average of $1,240. It is estimated that she earned 13 million euros per concert, and attracted an average of 54,000 spectators per performance. But Taylor Swift does not intend to stop there: she is continuing her international tour, and millions of “Swifties” [the nick-name of best dressed fans] have already snapped up tickets online.

Nothing best dressed is due to chance

It is certainly a phenomenon, but nothing is due to chance. If  being best dressed, Taylor Swift probably did not imagine experiencing such a sleeping beauties triumph at the age of 33, it was she who laid the foundations for her success: “Someday, I’ll be big enough so.

Fight Time: Taylor Swift, fake straight?

fight time
An article published in the New York Times causes controversy in the United States

The column in question advances the hypothesis that the American pop superstar identifies in a veiled way as a member of the LGBTQ community. What goes in fight time makes Uncle Sam’s country react…

A press article speculating on Taylor Swift's sexual orientation has sparked a stir on social media, with many internet users calling for it to be removed.

The column in question, comprising approximately 5,000 words and published this Sunday, January 7, 2024 in the “opinions” pages of the New York Times, puts fight time forward the hypothesis that the American pop superstar identifies in a veiled way as a member of the LGBTQ community , while publicly affirming herself to be heterosexual.

Requested by Agence France Presse, neither the New York daily nor the agents of the 34-year-old artist, Time magazine's 2023 personality of the year, responded.

American pop star Taylor Swift named Time magazine's 2023 Person of the Year

Taylor Swift, more than a phenomenon

The controversial article is “intrusive, inaccurate and inappropriate”, however, commented anonymously a person from Taylor Swift's entourage, quoted by the CNN channel.

As fight timr, many readers also reacted by criticizing the New York Times, rejecting the idea that the American youth idol could be a lesbian who had not yet come out.

The author of the text, Anna Marks, draws up a long list of acts performed by Taylor Swift supposedly suggesting that she is “queer”.

The addition of all these facts “suggests to queer people that she is one of them,” says the journalist.

Anna Marks cites the example of Chely Wright, an American country music singer, who confided that she had to wait years before “coming out of the closet”, for personal reasons directly linked to her career.

Taylor Swift, adored by legions of fans – the “Swifties” – openly campaigns for LGBTQ rights, without ever having identified herself as “queer”.

On the contrary, over the years, we have had romantic relationships with various male celebrities, who have been the delights of the celebrity pages of magazines.

Taylor Swift's Weaknesses as a Dancer Reinforce Her Image as an Ordinary Woman

“Taylor Swift's Weaknesses as a Dancer Reinforce Her Image as an Ordinary Woman”

The release of the film “Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour” on Friday October 13 was an opportunity to discover on the big screen the choreographies that the artist performs on stage during her tour. They seem accessible to everyone, far from the performances of Beyoncé or Britney Spears. Which does not prevent the public from being captivated. Brian Seibert, dance critic at the “New York Times”, tries to unravel this mystery.

As Taylor Swift's tour was undoubtedly the pop event of the year, it is not surprising that social networks have been flooded for months with extracts from her concerts, filmed live by her fans. What is more striking is that the choreographies that we see in these videos contrast quite clearly with the sophistication of the costumes and the visual effects: they are simple, not very original and within everyone's reach.

Taylor Swift is a singer who dances but is not known for her talent in this area. Many of her admirers agree: she is neither Beyoncé nor Britney Spears. No matter how hard she does, she always remains a little stiff and clumsy. However, stage presence is an essential element of his show lasting more than three hours.

A connection through dance

During his second concert in Los Angeles [August 7], his strongest gesture came at the start of the game, between two songs. Amid the screams of 70,000 wild admirers, the singer looks falsely surprised before announcing that she would like to try something. She points a finger towards a part of the SoFi stadium where a tenfold clamor then arises.

“I feel so powerful,” she says, kissing his bicep. In reality, its strength is above all its ability, through giant screens, to create a link with each member of the public. And the choreography is one of the elements that allows him to maintain this connection.

Taylor Swift' double album, should delete your ex's location.

I don't know if you've heard, but Swift released some time ago a double album that partly tell about her breakup with her boyfriend of six years, Joe Alwyn, and, in an even bigger part, about her situation which lasted for months. with controversial 1975 frontman Matt Healy. 

Don't worry too much about the billionaire; she is now in a relationship with football star Travis Kelce. But the album isn't about @killatrav. This double album is about Alwyn and Healy and, above all, the humiliation of a public breakup.

In one song, The Black Dog, Swift talks about looking at her ex's location on, presumably, the Find My app.

I am someone who, until recent events / You shared your secrets with / And your location  / You forgot to turn it off / And so I watch as you walk / Into some bar called The Black Dog / And pierce new holes in my heart / You forgot to turn it off / And it hits me / I just don't understand

Despite, breakups aren't very pleasant, there is nothing inherently wrong with tracking your partner's location or sharing your location with them.  This is someone you loved, or at least loved. Maybe you wanted to know their location to know how long it would take them to get home, so you would know when to start dinner; you wanted their location so you could give them a quick kiss at the bar on the way to the train.

But once you break up, be an adult and see that you lose location tracking. Of course, it's uncomfortable to remove location tracking because when you do, it notifies the other person. They know you don't want to see where they are, or you don't want them to see where you are – and frankly, that doesn't sound very nice. 

As with much of Swift's work, this is relevant. Once you break up, you lose location tracking. When you're going through a breakup, it's difficult for you and your ex to disentangle your digital lives from each other, despite you wanted the location to surprise them with flowers.. 

I'm obviously not in a position to give Swift any personal advice, but here's some advice for the rest of us normies: Don't track your ex's location after your breakup. It may seem like stalking an ex on social media, but at least they control what they post publicly, and unless they've blocked you, they know you can see their updates. Tracking someone's location after your breakup is literally stalking.

More than that, and my deepest sympathies to any Swifties who might disagree with me, the song plays with the idea of how painful it is to see the location of one's ex, but it doesn't do that. a way that implies she's in on it. joke; this only compounds the irresponsibility and insanity of tracking an ex's whereabouts. That's a truly unusual thing to admit, even if Swift is nothing more than a brutal diary.

Which leads me to wonder: where are Swift's friends? If a friend of mine tracked their ex's location, saw he was going to a bar, started talking about how it was "punching new holes in (their) hearts" and told me or someone of our other friends, we would do so immediately. point out how deranged they had become. We would tell them it was weird and unfair to their ex and that they should delete their ex's location from their phone. It would be an immediate, devastating and unpleasant interaction. But it would save them the heartache and, at the very least, prevent them from speaking publicly about it, as Swift did.

My advice: Please stop tracking your ex's location. 

Don't let your ex track your location. It's better for your brain, it's better for your heart, and it's better for your relationship – or lack thereof – with your ex. Bullying is not the cornerstone of anything worth building, including a path to reconnection or recovery. And while you're at it, maybe don't look in people's windows either.

Game winner: Why is it so hard to criticize Taylor Swift?

game winner
The American singer has just released a new album, “The Tortured Poets Department”. But if the fans seem to be there, some American media are wondering about the beginnings of weariness among critics and the public.  Despite a game winner, the repercussions of communication that is a little too closed?

The release of Taylor Swift's latest album, the highly anticipated The Tortured Poets Department, has set the international press in turmoil. It must be said that this new game winner album, available since Friday April 19, exceeded 200 million plays on Spotify on the same day, beating the record previously held by the artist's previous opus.

Certainly, certain newspapers or magazines consider that this album is less inspired than her previous ones: The Atlantic, for example, wonders if the 34-year-old singer is not starting to suffer from her obsession with mastery, and a lack of renewal. . But these few reservations have in no way affected the media whirlwind.

This is also an indicator, if any were needed, of the control that Taylor Swift has managed to exercise over her image and her communication: she did not even need to grant the slightest interview to ensure the promotion of The Tortured Poets Department.

No press interviews

“Obtaining any kind of accreditation to approach Taylor Swift is now mission impossible,” launches The Wall Street Journal, which, like other media, has taken up the issue of the singer's very closed communication .

“Taylor Swift grants few interviews, and when she does, she usually reserves those interviews for Time, which has all the qualities the singer is looking for: a respected, mainstream, and accommodating title,” agrees Vulture, the pop culture site of New York Magazine. He recalls that last December Time elected the singer personality of the year 2023.

earning call
A real earning call was brought byTaylor Swift fans hat stormed the London pub Black Dog, whose name is mentioned in the new double album.

Taylor Swift's fans stormed The Black Dog, a pub in southwest London, after the place was mentioned in the American singer's double album, "The Tortured Poet's Department". Spotify has announced that the American singer's new album broke the record for the most streamed album in a single day this year on the platform, a feat she achieved in less than 12 hours.

The manager had to call in extra staff to cope with the demand and the pub, located in Vauxhall, capitalized on its newfound fame by introducing a new burger dubbed the Swift and a cocktail called the Taylor's Version)''.

Although she can't be absolutely sure that the Black Dog bar she runs and the one mentioned in the album are one and the same, Lily Bottomley said that at one point "she was a frequent blonde customer". "An anthology of new creations that reflect events, opinions and feelings from a fleeting and fatalistic moment", is the description Swift made on Instagram of her 11th studio album. Fans believe that the lyrics are aimed at the ex-boyfriend of the singer, the British Joe Alwyn. Swift mentioned in her songs other places in London where the couple spent time in the British capital and which aroused the interest of fans.

"I went to New York last year and did a 'Taylor Swift' walking tour of the places she mentioned." Emilia, a master's student from Vienna, said she imagined Swift going to that pub. ''I love him, he's a lyrical genius,'' she said.
