The eagle has landed. President Joe Biden made a surprise appearance Monday on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" alongside comedian Amy Poehler, who he joined on stage to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Meyers' show.... ...Poehler left the stage and just Biden and Meyers got to more serious subjects. Addressing criticism about his age, the 81-year-old president noted former President Donald Trump is also older, while taking a dig at his Republican rival's own mental acuity and policy ideas.

READ MORE: Australian Taylor Swift fan sparks debate with ticket theory Taylor Swift made a shock on stage announcement in Melbourne on Sunday evening, revealing a huge change for her upcoming Sydney shows. The global megastar, 34, told the packed crowd she was revising her rule of never performing the same acoustic 'Surprise Song' more than once on her Eras Tour. 'I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward and I don't want to limit anything or say, "If I played this song, I can't play it again",' Swift began. 'So, from now on,...

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...

Two of the three suspects currently detained by Kansas City cops over the horror Super Bowl parade mass shooting are juveniles, officials revealed Thursday. ... 'This was a dispute that ended in gunfire,' said the chief, who said a total of 10 people were questioned in the aftermath, and further arrests are possible. ... Specialists from the ATF are working to connect firearms owned by suspects to debris left at the scene, a law enforcement source told CNN. Amid claims that one of the gunmen span in a circle to pepper as many people with bullets as possible, bullets lodged...

During an event on Tuesday, February 13, Daily Wire podcast host Candace Owens spoke out about Taylor Swift, describing the liberal popstar as “the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed.” Her comments came during a “Backstage” event for DailyWire+ subscribers in which she spoke with Jeremey Boreing, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Matt Walsh. Beginning, Owens said, “Obviously, if you’ve seen what she’s even done in business and how she tries to manipulate her audiences like to get out of like, deals and contracts, she’s totally insane. Like she’s the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed. And what she does...

The fancy schmancy suites (which cost $2.5 million) will have an equally high-end menu. Think: shrimp cocktail tower, king crab fried rice, wagyu tenderloin, lobster and steak quesadillas, and breakfast for dinner with buttermilk fried chicken and waffles with maple syrup.

Taylor Swift has drawn criticism over a cease-and-desist letter her lawyers sent a college student who uses publicly available flight data to track her private jet usage. As Breitbart News reported, the target of the threatened law suit runs social media accounts that follow her and other celebrities’ private jets to measure their carbon pollution levels — with Swift calling the issue a matter of “life or death.” Jack Sweeney, 21, received the missive in December which declared the 14-time Grammy award winner would “have no choice but to all legal remedies” if the accused did not stop his “stalking...

Next time pop star Taylor Swift starts waxing all pious about saving the planet, maybe someone can ask her about those two private jets she traipses around on a plume of carbon compounds to get around the planet. According to Gizmodo: Flying from Tokyo, Japan back to the U.S. to get to the Super Bowl and watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce play was very important to pop superstar Taylor Swift—so important that she apparently had a second private jet on standby. The existence of a second private jet for Swift, who was in Tokyo giving a series of concerts, was...

A university student from Florida has made a habit of getting under the skin of some of the world's richest and most powerful people. How? By telling the rest of us where their private planes are - and how much carbon they emit.Jack Sweeney would like to clarify a few details. For one thing, he thinks Taylor Swift has some good tunes. However, he believes - despite the threat of legal action - that anybody should be able to see where her private jet is headed, and how often it flies. "I like to be fair," he told the BBC...

Could Taylor Swift tilt Florida blue? It’s Democrats’ wildest dream. TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album “Florida!!!” or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections. But their excitement around the news is less about “why?” and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.

The Super Bowl always draws crowds to betting windows and online sports books, but some of the most talked about action this year will leave a blank space in Las Vegas. With in-person sports books limited to action on the field, Adam Burns, the sports book manager for BetOnline.ag, found himself capitalizing on the moment by preparing odds for a flood of unusual wagers: What sort of outfit will Taylor Swift wear to the game on Sunday? Will the CBS broadcast show her holding a beverage or giving high-fives? Will she cry if the Kansas City Chiefs lose to the...

@simonateba @realDonaldTrump writes, "I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. "Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will. There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!"

When any television viewer would tune in for a Kansas City Chiefs game, several times a game the TV cameras would pan to pop star Taylor Swift in some secure luxury suite. Movie stars and music legends being shown on the TV screen are nothing new. Who hasn’t viewed Jack Nicholson for any home Los Angeles Lakers game? Or anytime an alumnus such as Peyton Manning from a college program would be seen roaming the sidelines during a big game? Or some famous somebody in sports, movies, music, or politics sitting in the crowd that the network has identified?

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...

She’s just won the Grammy for album of the year. She was Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2023. Her boyfriend is on his way to the Super Bowl. Will Taylor Swift end 2024 as triumphantly as she began it — by tipping the presidential election? Fans surge to register whenever Swift promotes voting, and she endorsed Joe Biden last time. But it’s a fair bet most Swifties who care about elections are already on the rolls and included in polling; they’re not a swing constituency. And while new registrations matter, every presidential election produces plenty of those. It’s...

Taylor Swift isn’t the light of the world. And she won’t fill our culture’s God-shaped hole. But the biggest pop star on the planet does identify as a ChristianIn December 2023, a clip of preacher Dr Tony Wood went somewhat viral. The pastor of Mission Bible Church in Costa Mesa, California regularly posts clips from his sermons on Instagram, but the reason for the wider-than-normal distribution of this particular message was that it made a target of a beloved cultural icon. The world outside the pastor’s window had become obsessed with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, and he was not impressed. “When...

In the latest issue of Billboard, Swift offered a peek into her business acumen, sharing some advice for anyone looking to follow in her trailblazing path. “The piece of advice I would give to the other executives on this list is that the best ideas are usually ones without industry precedent,” Swift told Billboard. “The biggest crossroads moments of my career came down to sticking to my instincts when my ideas were looked at with skepticism. When someone says to me, ‘But that has never been done successfully before,’ it fires me up. We have to take strategic risks every...

Amid all of the online squabbling over whether the relationship between singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is getting too much attention from the media and from NFL broadcasters, I held my tongue. Whenever I felt the need to speak up or to voice an opinion on the matter, I looked at the silicone wristband I wear to remind me of whose opinion really matters. No, my wristband doesn’t say WWJD, as it does for most Christians. I look to a higher power. WWLCD: What would Liz Cheney do? And finally, at long last, the...
