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.

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
