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

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.

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

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

"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.

October 13, 2023

After cheering on Kelce during his game against the Denver Broncos, Swift apparently spent the night at his house according to photos obtained by the Daily Mail. Although no photos of her are visible, her security vehicles were photographed on the sidewalk of Kelce's house, making it look like Swift and her boyfriend Kelce were spending some much-needed time together.

October 15, 2023

Kelce and Swift kicked off their relationship by being photographed holding hands. That night, they also had a surprise appearance on SNL when Swift introduced Ice Spice as a special guest, and Kelce was spotted backstage.

November 10, 2023

Swift and Kelce were spotted enjoying a private dinner at Elena Restaurant, located in the Four Seasons Hotel, followed by an evening stroll while walking hand in hand.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

“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?

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.

''We're a very small, neighborhood pub, so it's a dream come true,'' said Bottomley. "We are very grateful to the fans, who have been amazing." Katie, a web developer and a ''Swifty'' (as fans of the American singer call her), told Reuters that she likes to go to the places mentioned in the singer's songs.
