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 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.

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

Their relationship internationalized when Kelce joined Swift in Argentina. The pop singer was there for her Eras tour, despite heavy rain. 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.

November 11, 2023

During her concert in Argentina, Swift noticeably changed one of the lyrics to "Karma" as a sweet gesture toward Kelce. Swift changed the lyrics, singing "Karma is the Chiefs guy coming straight to my house," in which Kelce is seen with a huge smile. Moments later, Kelce and Swift finally have their first public kiss as Swift is seen running backstage to plant the kiss on him. Again rumors about gett marriage.
