A growing portion of Taylor Swift fans are throwing their support behind Kamala Harris in the upcoming U.S. presidential election and social media accounts dedicated to their efforts are steadily gaining followers. On Sunday, President Joe Biden announced that he would not be seeking reelection in the 2024 presidential race after weeks of pressure from within his party and from key Democratic donors to step down amid concerns over his age and mental acuity. On the same day, he threw his support behind Harris. Since the announcement, she has secured enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee, meaning she...

I am not a Swiftie. I can’t name a single song by Taylor Swift besides “Shake it off.” But a recent Newsweek column about her life choices has me infuriated. John Mac Ghlionn opined that Swift is not a good role model. Why? Because she is 34, unmarried and childless. …My 25-year-old daughter is set to be married in just a few months and I am so incredibly happy for her. She was lucky enough to meet a wonderful, respectful man with common interests and humor. But let’s be clear. If she hadn’t, I would still be proud of a...

Taylor Swift wrapped up her third and final Eras Tour date in Dublin, Ireland, at Aviva Stadium on Sunday, and she debuted The Tortured Poet’s Department’s closing track “Clara Bow” live along with giving it a special dedication to an icon who was also in attendance. “You don’t even know she’s doing it, she’s just become friends with so many female artists just to be a guiding hand,” Swift said before delivering the song on acoustic guitar. “I can’t tell you how rare that is. She’s a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secrets...

There is a new documentary called “Taylor Swift Vs. Scooter Braun: Bad Blood” which covers the infamous feud between Taylor Swift and super-manager Scooter Braun. Braun owns Ithaca Holdings, the company that bought the record label Taylor Swift first signed with, including her albums.

Taylor Swift performed at the third and final night of the Eras tour‘s London stop on Sunday evening, during which a surprise guest joined her on stage: her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce, dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, literally swept the pop star off her feet during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” transition of Swift’s show at Wembley Stadium. He then performed a short routine alongside Swift’s dancers, who were wearing the same attire as Kelce. Sunday night marks the last of three shows at Wembley Stadium, though Swift will...

Taylor Swift fans have complained about not being able to see the stage during her Wembley show despite paying up to £700 for tickets. The megastar is in the midst of her first London leg of the Eras Tour - but fans who attended Saturday's show have expressed their frustrations.

VIDEO AT LINK............... A pair of climate activists sprayed two private jets at a UK airport with orange paint Thursday morning – mistakenly claiming that pop superstar Taylor Swift’s jet was parked nearby. Police were called to Stansted Airport in Essex around 5:10 a.m. local time following reports that two people had broken into the area and damaged two planes, the BBC reported.

A new report from British bank Barclay’s says that Swift, who has just kicked off the European leg of her wildly popular tour (revamped to include the top tracks from her latest release, The Tortured Poets Department) will bring around 997 million pounds ($1.26 billion) into the U.K. economy thanks to fans spending an average of 848 pounds to see her live. The “Swiftonomics” report also said that attending one of Swift’s 15 U.K. tour dates is expected to be more than 12 times the average cost of a U.K. night out (67 pounds) and even higher than the cost...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that many of the campus demonstrators don’t know what they’re talking about and “a lot of the problem” is schools teaching ridiculous classes like Harvard’s course on Taylor Swift. Former CNN host Don Lemon stated that “some of” the protesters are bigots, and “a lot of them don’t have the information needed because they’re getting their news from TikTok…and they don’t have the history of what’s going on.”

Monica Lewinsky went viral on Wednesday after joining a social media trend involving one of Taylor Swift's new songs as she referenced her time in the White House with former President Bill Clinton. Lewinsky's post, which had over 6 million views as of Thursday morning, references one of Swift's new songs, "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" off her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department." Social media users started sharing lyrics from the song, "you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me," along with an image referencing a personal memory or anecdote from their past. Lewinsky...

Are Taylor Swifts lyrics full of “explicit” content? It’s one thing to drop a bunch of F-bombs….but are they also flat-out Demonic and Blasphemous? Many people say yes, including Sean Feucht, who posted this which is what originally caught my attention: Sean Feucht @seanfeucht · Follow Here’s the explicit songs in @taylorswift13 ‘s new album👇🏼. Watching Christians praise this new album of promiscuity & perversion while simultaneously rebuking Biden for allowing men in women’s locker rooms is peak American fake morality in 2024. Are your kids listening to Taylor Swift? Are you ok with them listening to all this EXPLICIT...

A new album by Taylor Swift is not merely the release of a new collection of songs. It is a major pop-cultural event, given the widespread consensus that Swift is the world’s biggest pop star... ...What’s lacking from Swift, however, is very little hint of proportionality. There is almost no evidence leading a listener to believe that Swift understands that this romantic heartbreak and loss of which she sings is mostly ordinary, everyday stuff, and not a matter of earthshaking proportions. Try as she might, this is no Blood on the Tracks. (Coincidentally, Swift is the same age, 34, that...

Is Taylor Swift the last hope for Biden’s flailing presidency? Rob Reiner seems to think so. Rob Reiner is begging Taylor Swift to publicly endorse President Joe Biden’s reelection bid, saying he’d “give anything” for the pop star to make an announcement. Swift has remained conspicuously silent on the 2024 presidential election, after endorsing Biden four years ago. The singer must weigh the damage such an endorsement would do to her personal brand at a time when 81-year-old Biden is facing record-low popularity, especially among young Democrats, millions of whom have soured on his presidency. “I’d give anything for her...

Taylor's Swift's father will not be charged over accusations he assaulted a paparazzo in Australia. Ben McDonald, 51, told police Scott Swift, 72, struck him in the face on a Sydney wharf on 27 February. He did not need medical help. A spokesperson for Swift at the time said two people had been behaving aggressively towards the megastar. After a month-long investigation, New South Wales police on Tuesday said no further action would be taken.

Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system.. The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT's key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched. 90% of the world's central banks are now exploring digital versions of their currencies. Most don't want to be left behind by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are grappling with...

Get out and vote. That was Taylor Swift’s message ahead of Super Tuesday as she urged everyone to back their chosen parties’ respective presidential primaries. “Today, March 5, is the Presidential Primary in Tennessee and 16 other states and territories. I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power,” she wrote in an Instagram story. “If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote today.” “Whether you’re in Tennessee or somewhere else in the US, check your polling places and times at vote.org,” she added.

Did she know he was trouble? America, brace for impact: It looks like the romance of the century (wink wink) may already be over. The once-sparkling future of our prom king and queen, the football star and the head cheerleader, has almost certainly been dashed by one very public rage explosion, drunken disorder, and a spectacularly insensitive decision to party hard after a mass shooting at his Super Bowl parade. Mere hours after 22 fans were shot — nine children among them, a young mother dead — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce thought it was a great idea...

Hillary Clinton, Travis Kelce It appears that former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was tuning in for the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, as she shared a direct message to tight end Travis Kelce, who is currently dating Taylor Swift, in the aftermath. Clinton, who was the first lady between 1993 and 2001 while her husband, Bill Clinton, was president of the United States, took to X after the Chiefs cinched their Super Bowl win, writing, "Congratulations to Taylor's boyfriend—and the entire Kansas City Chiefs community! 💕🏈.

She previously sold a smaller Dassault Falcon 50 jet in 2020, after she purchased it in 2012 for $4million. Swift donated the proceeds to charity. It is unclear if Swift is planning to upgrade her fleet just in time for the longest leg of her international tour starts – jetting to Australia to perform on February 16. This comes as it was revealed Swift's lawyers sent a letter to Jack Sweeney, 21, demanding that he stop logging her flights and locations. Sweeney, a junior at the University of Central Florida, has run several accounts that track the flight paths of...
