Month: February 2024

Taylor Swift debuted a song from her Grammy-winning album Midnights on Friday night at her show in Melbourne, Australia.

The 34-year-old songstress — who just announced a bonus track for her upcoming album — delivered a performance of You’re Losing Me — an emotional ballad from the Late Night Edition of Midnights — for the first time.

Swift sat at the piano dressed in a flowing yellow dress as she announced to the audience, ‘I’ve never played this song live before. It’s one of my favorites.’

The song came out in May 2023 and features a narrator singing about realizing a relationship is unhealthy and their attempts to save it, which many fans have theorized was inspired by the end of Swift’s relationship with the English actor Joe Alwyn.

The pop star also broke out the title track of Red, which she hadn’t performed since last year.

Though fans have speculated that Joe Alwyn may have inspired the song, You’re Losing Me Taylor penned the tune one year before their relationship came to an end.

In November, her friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff took to Instagram to give fans insight on the record, which had only been available in physical form before it began streaming last fall.

‘You’re Losing Me’ is out today. A very special track from the Midnights sessions that’s finally streaming!’ he wrote at the time.

He shared a snapshot of the songstress in her kitchen, with wine and raisins nearby.

‘Written and recorded at home on 12/5/21 right after Taylor ate those raisins,’ he added.

While in Australia Taylor also announced an alternative deluxe edition of her forthcoming album The Tortured Poets Department.

The Bolter features different cover art and a different exclusive track — a previously unannounced song called The Bolter.

Swift shared the new information during her show, and later on social media, uploading two new closeup photos, including one that showed her lying in bed.

The collector’s edition deluxe copies are available for purchase for a limited time on her website.

The star encouraged fans to pre-order the new music as she shared two links in her Instagram Stories ahead of the weekend.

One link read ‘File Name: The Bolter’ and the other simply said ‘pre-order now.’

Additionally, the Bolter variation will include multiple bonus products with unique branding.

It consists of a patch, bookmark and photo cards with excerpts of the song lyrics.

Taylor previously introduced CD and vinyls under the name The Manuscript.

Both feature the respective bonus tracks as an add-on to the standar 16-song list.

An Instagram captions to her 281 million followers read, ‘File Name: The Bolter [white heart emoji] Pre-order the new edition of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT with an exclusive bonus track for a limited time on my website now.’

Taylor Swift wrapped the Tokyo leg of her Eras tour Saturday night, then hopped a 12-hour flight to Los Angeles (according to her sleuthing fans) and arrived in Las Vegas for Super Bowl 58 about two hours before kickoff. It was obviously a big night for the Kansas City Chiefs and her beau, tight end Travis Kelce.

 

 

Ten days before the big game, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce joked with Travis that Swift “has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year.”

Weeks-long speculation about whether she would make it to the game ended when she was spotted by CBS cameras walking into Allegiant Stadium. She cheered from a suite with her squad, including Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey. Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie and mom Donna Kelce were nearby with Jason and Mama Kelce decked out in Chiefs’ gear.

Showing no visible signs of jet-lag, Swift cheered along through the highs and lows of the game and joined Travis Kelce on the field to celebrate the Chiefs’ 25-22 win in overtime over the San Francisco 49ers.

Pop sensation Taylor Swift was spotted celebrating with Kansas City Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend following the team’s triumphant victory over the San Francisco 49ers. However, her boyfriend, star tight end Travis Kelce, had a surprising reaction, sparking speculation among fans.

After the Chiefs secured their win in a thrilling Super Bowl matchup against the 49ers, Swift joined in the post-game celebrations on the field. As players and staff rejoiced in their hard-fought victory, Swift sought out Townsend, embracing him in a congratulatory hug.

The heartwarming moment captured the camaraderie and excitement shared among the Chiefs’ extended family, with Swift adding her own touch of star power to the festivities. Townsend, who played a pivotal role in the game, was undoubtedly thrilled to receive congratulations from one of music’s biggest stars.

 

However, fans couldn’t help but notice Kelce’s reaction to the embrace. The star tight end, known for his passionate displays both on and off the field, appeared visibly tense as he observed Swift and Townsend’s interaction. Some fans speculated that Kelce’s reaction betrayed feelings of jealousy, while others dismissed it as mere coincidence.

 

Regardless of Kelce’s reaction, the moment highlighted the unity and joy experienced by the Chiefs’ extended family in the wake of their Super Bowl victory. Swift’s presence added an extra layer of excitement to the celebrations, showcasing the strong bond between the team and its supporters.

As the Chiefs continue their reign as champions, fans will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the dynamic between Kelce, Swift, and Townsend, eager to see how their relationships evolve both on and off the field. Regardless of any speculation, one thing is certain: the Chiefs’ victory celebration was a momentous occasion filled with love, camaraderie, and star-studded excitement.

Taylor’s doting father Scott was said to have taken to the crowds to hand out the much-sought-after wristbands, with fans gushing over his incredible kindness.

The message detailed: ‘A good news story out of the MCG. My friend and her daughter had the cheap restricted seats from yesterday’s release and rocked up as soon as the gates opened.

‘Sat down and Taylor Swift’s dad went around and handed them wristbands and entry into the VIP section — apparently about $2000 in total value.

‘Seriously lucky and how generous and kind is Papa Swift!!!

The global megastar, 34, stormed the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the biggest show of her career as she performed to a whopping 86,000 Swifties to kick off her tour Down Under

‘I asked if I could at least get her cheap seats since she got upgraded because I’ve almost sold my soul to get tix,’ the person added.

Fans were quick to take to the comments section to share their disbelief over the extraordinary tale, which comes after Swifties were left desperately trying to get their hands on last-minute tickets in recent days.

They gushed: ‘Proud parents doing it right’; ‘Papa Swift is the best’; ‘How good are they. Taylor & her parents appreciate the fans;’

‘Wow, wow, wow – just fabulous’; ‘This is the best feel good story’; ‘He seems like the best guy, imagine being able to do this for people!!’

‘We are not encouraging ticketless fans to attend, but part of our contingency plan is allowing for extra people who may be travelling who haven’t got tickets.’

But despite warnings from the NSW government, businesses are said to be rolling out the welcome mat for all of Taylor’s fans regardless of whether they have tickets.

Mieka Pokarier, 16, died when the SUV she was travelling in with her mother and sister from the Gold Coast in Queensland to Melbourne collided with a semi-trailer near Dubbo.

The crash on Dunedoo Road at Ballimore on Thursday about 6pm also left her younger sister Freya Pokarier, 10, in a critical condition and she was airlifted to Westmead Hospital.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but the teenager could not be saved.

On Saturday Mieka and Freya’s father, Peter Pokarier, shared his grief on Facebook.

‘That’s my baby that died,’ he said.

Taylor had kicked off the Australian leg of her Eras tour in Melbourne on Friday night with around 96,000 fans in attendance – the biggest concert of her career.

The godmother of the two girls Karleigh Fox said the two girls were very much looking forward to attending the 14-time Grammy Award winner’s concert.

‘This was supposed to be a road-trip of a lifetime with them going to concerts in both Melbourne and Sydney,’ she told the Courier Mail.

A GoFundMe page was set up on Friday to arrange funds for the family, with almost $12,000 raised so far with a target of $20,000.

The teenager died on Thursday when the SUV she was travelling in with her mother and sister from the Gold Coast in Queensland to Melbourne collided with a semi-trailer near Dubbo

‘The family have all had to cease work to fly down and I’m trying to get a flight to support the mum as she’s alone in Dubbo until we can get her to Sydney,’ Ms Fox said.

‘Funds will be used to function in this challenging time.’

NSW Police said in a statement that a crime scene was set up as officers continue to investigate the incident.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network for comment.

Soon after finishing her series of concerts in Melbourne, Australia, as part of her international Eras Tour, Taylor Swift shared a sweet message to her fans talking about the experience.

 

Taking to X, Swift began by saying, “Melbourne, what do I even say to you after over 288,000 of you came and danced with us in the last 3 nights ??! That was unforgettable.”

“You were on an another LEVEL. Thank you for the memories. I’ll revisit the ones from this weekend often,” she concluded, saying goodbye to Melbourne before her next stop in Sydney.

“i absolutely adore how much gratitude she expresses after every show, and that she’s just as obsessed with the memories of us as we are of her 🫶,” wrote one Swiftie in response to the “Forever & Always” singer’s note.

Another wrote, “Undoubtedly the best weekend of my entire life by far… I cannot believe it was real & I cannot believe it’s over 🥺.”

Along with some photos from the concerts, Swift included a video of herself talking to the crowd about her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, while sitting at her piano on stage. She said that she thought that “more than any of my albums that I’ve ever made, I needed to make it. It was really a lifeline for me.”

While fans have a little while left to wait before The Tortured Poets Department comes out on April 19, there is sure to be plenty of Swift content as she continues her record-breaking tour.

She has four shows in Sydney next, starting on Feb. 23, followed by Singapore, before she has another short break in April. After that, Swift picks back up again in May with the European leg of the Eras Tour, starting in France.

Kansas City Chiefs‘ nine-time Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce may have been the least expected person one might have picked as a potential match for popstar Taylor Swift. After all, he is not the typical “Prince Charming” that Swift alludes to in so many of her early work, and seems to be a much better description of the “Trouble” she sings about in more recent work.

However, back in September, Kelce and Swift made their relationship public and, in so doing, changed the lives of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people.

Fathers and Daughters Bonded Over Football Thanks to Taylor Swift Dating Kansas City Chiefs Star Travis Kelce

When the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift relationship became public, the 14-time Grammy Award winner started showing up to various Chiefs games to support her boyfriend and the team. This resulted in both stadium and television camera crews showing Swift sitting with Donna Kelce (Travis’ mother) and other Chiefs family members in luxury boxes of stadiums.

The attention Swift garnered actually did not amount to much air time when looking at the full-scale of the game itself. For example, she was shown on television for a whole 24 seconds of Super Bowl LVIII, which lasted over three hours.

Still, the fact that Swift was at a Chiefs game and could be shown on television at any given point led to a rise in interest in the NFL among female viewers. It also led to some bonding moments between daughters and their fathers, as this commercial made before Super Bowl LVIII demonstrates:

As much as some people (usually middle-aged men) would complain about the attention Swift received whenever she attended a game, the effect she had on viewership around the NFL cannot be denied. Super Bowl LVIII had over 120 million people watching, making it the most-watched Super Bowl of all time.

Kansas City Chiefs Tight End Travis Kelce Has a Somewhat Surprising Opinion on “the Taylor Swift Effect”

In a recently resurfaced interview from before the Super Bowl, Kelce was asked his thoughts on how Swift’s presence at his games has led to a rise in ratings. He replied:
“I’m very aware [of the impact our romance has on the NFL, and how many women now are watching]. Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom.

“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
When asked what he thoughts on how their relationship has led to fathers and daughters being able to bond over football, Kelce called it “beautiful.”

For what some might call the more typical or stereotypical football fan, Kelce’s response may be surprising. Instead of blowing it off as something he could care less about in the brutish way some perceive him, he labels it as something beautiful.

And it is.

Now that the season is over, Kelce is presumably heading off to Australia where Swift is currently performing for her Eras Tour. During the Chiefs’ Bye Week last season, he went to Argentina to watch her performances there, as well. Now it is his turn to be the supportive partner.

Hopefully those fathers whose daughters took an interest in football because of the relationship can also now take some interest in, or at the very least show appreciation for, Swift’s music.
