Taylor Swift ensured all eyes were on her as she took to the stage in Paris on Saturday for night three of the French stint of her Eras tour.

The Eras tour – which consists of 152 shows across five continents and is currently on its European leg – sees the superstar include a Surprise Song section.

During this part of the show, the hitmaker, 34, has added even more surprises for her die hard fans, by adding in some costume changes to her performance.

Saturday night saw Taylor debut a brand new orange dress as she played ‘Hey Stephen’ and ‘Maroon.’

She wowed in the bright ensemble, which featured pleated detailing, a mini train and ruffles at the front.

The singer left her blonde locks down and completed the look with a pair of silver heels

Taylor, who Bloomberg cited as a billionaire, kept her trademark makeup look, with a flick of black eyeliner and a red lip.

Walking up to the mic with her guitar, she told the crowd: ‘Welcome to the acoustic section!

‘I couldn’t help but notice how loudly you guys were singing along to the songs from the Fearless album so maybe I’ll play some of my favourite songs from the Fearless album and see if you guys can match the volume from earlier.’

Throughout the show Taylor, made sure she continued to wear some sort of reference to the 10 of her Swift eras.

During the Surprise Song section on Thursday night, the Grammy winner donned a sleeveless pink V-neck dress with a high-low skirt. She wore an identical dress to the orange one in blue for Friday’s show.

In addition to adding some new looks to the concert, she also changed the setlist to include tracks from her new The Tortured Poets Department album.

Those include But Daddy I Love Him, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, and So High School, which many fans believe is a tribute to boyfriend Travis Kelce, 34.

 

The singer has not stopped with the surprises and revealed during her second night performing in Paris that she had been working on The Tortured Poets Department segment of her Eras Tour since last year.

She took a moment during her show to share the details with her attentive audience and told them: ‘We started planning this surprise for you about eight or nine months ago and then when we got “two months off” of the Eras Tour, we really didn’t take any time off at all.

‘We just went directly back into rehearsals. So I’d like to give it up for my crew, my dancers, and my band,’ she said during a break in the music.

The Tortured Poets Department was released on April 19 and is Taylor’s eleventh studio album.

The latest leg will conclude in London, with the final leg of the Eras tour will ending in Canada with dates in Toronto beginning in November and coming to a close in early December in Vancouver.

The rich man sold his Florida mega-mansion for $11 mιllιon after five relists. His original $28 mιllιon price was discounted by 60%.

The massive deal culminates a three-year struggle with five agents to sell the home. “I was lucky No. 5,” said Benjamin Hillman of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, who finalized the sale. I promised Shaq I would find him a buyer.

The 31,000-square-foot Shaq estate overlooks Lake Butler in Isleworth, a private golf neighborhood outside Orlando. A 6,000-square-foot Miami Heat-themed basketball court, 17-car showroom, cigar room, wine cellar, custom theater, safe room, recording studio, aquarium with hieroglyphics, and 95-foot-long “Shaq-apulco” pool are included.

Shaq references continue. The auto showroom has mirrored walls with a Superman emblem, and the living area has a huge mural of the former MVP driving a semi-truck.

The grand entryway has dual mahogany staircases, tray ceilings, and marble floors. The 44-foot office and cheetah-print carpeted primary suite overlook the lake.

The four-acre property has a tiki hut, 700 feet of lakefront, and a private dock. The property has 15 indoor and 18 outdoor cameras, gates, and a 10-foot privacy wall.

Following a first round exit in the NBA Playoffs and a fourth straight season without a championship, LeBron James‘ future with the Los Angeles Lakers has become incredibly murky.

James continues to play at an extremely high level at 39 years old, but the Lakers roster could stand to get some big upgrades. James also doesn’t seem to see eye-to-eye with head coach Darvin Ham, but he will reportedly be back as the coach for next season.

 

LeBron James offers an unexpected reason for Lakers’ poor performance

Could LeBron James join the Philadelphia 76ers?

That could see LeBron make the jump somewhere else, and rumors have begun popping up about the Philadelphia 76ers being a potential destination.

We’re yet to see truly credible sources, although The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor recently reported that Sixers GM Daryl Morey tried to trade for James before the trade deadline. Obviously, they would be all-in if James actually becomes available.

Matching James with Joel Embiid would make for must-watch TV. Adding Tyrese Maxey, who is shining the playoffs, to the mix makes the Sixers an appealing option for the aging James.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse is well-respected around the league and won the NBA Championship with the Toronto Raptors in 2019. It wouldn’t be a surprise if LeBron gets persuaded.

Taylor Swift fans think she confirmed that the last verse in her song “But Daddy I Love Him” is about her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

The “Anti-Hero” singer, 34, took the stage in Paris to kick off her European leg of the Eras tour on Thursday, May 9. The show underwent major changes so that Taylor could include songs from her Tortured Poets Department album, which was released on April 19.

The first song featured from the setlist from the album is “But Daddy I Love Him,” which has Taylor singing about the public backlash she experienced during her romance with Matty Healy.

While she defends the relationship throughout the song and insists she is the only person responsible for her reputation, the track ends with Taylor stating that she made the right decision.

“Now I’m dancing in my dress in the sun / And even my daddy just loves him / I’m his lady, and oh my God / You should see your faces,” she sings in the final verse of the song. “Time, doesn’t it give some perspective / No, you can’t come to the wedding / I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want.” Who Is Your Favorite Collaborator on Taylor Swift’s TTPD? Following her performance of “But Daddy I Love Him,” Taylor transitioned to sing “So High School.”

The song placement on the setlist led many fans to speculate that Travis, 34, is referenced in the end of “But Daddy I Love Him” because “So High School” is believed to be inspired by the professional athlete.

Soon after the performance ended, many fans rushed to X to speculate that Travis is the boyfriend Taylor is singing about in the end of “But Daddy I Love Him.” “The person who said but daddy i love him was about matty AND travis was actually correct,” one person commented.

Another chimed in, “Been saying it’s a Travis song this whole time and everyone’s missing it!! She must have been frustrated people weren’t getting it either and made it explicit by mashing them.”

Another person pointed out that she must be singing about two different men in the song because the first half is in past tense and the last verse is sung in present tense.

The fan theorized that “just the last verse” is about Travis because “the other verses were scolding fans about Matty.” Despite the speculation, Taylor has not publicly revealed who inspired “But Daddy I Love Him.”

While fans were delighted that Taylor added songs from TTPD onto the setlist, she also had to cut songs and rework the show in order to include the new album.

One song that was cut was “The Archer,” while she also combined the Folklore and Evermore sets to save time.

LeBron Jаmes Oрens Uр On Preрaring For The 2024 Olymрics After Hіs 21ѕt Seаson

At nearly 40 years old, now should be the time when LeBron James begins to wind down his basketball activities. But with a commitment to join Team USA this summer, James will have an unusual disruption in his summer routine and it could have a big impact on his play moving forward.

“Over the last 4-5 years, I’ve given my body two months of no basketball,” James said on the latest episode of ‘Mind the Game’ podcast. “It’s challenging now because in two months training camp starts. I don’t want to go into camp not doing anything for two months.”

LeBron James is meticulous about his body and he goes to great lengths to ensure he stays durable and fresh over a long 82-game season. Somehow, at 39 years old, LeBron continues to play at an elite level and he’s healthy more often than he’s not.

Coming off a particularly brutal season for the Lakers, LeBron would have normally taken a break from the game entirely until it was time to ramp up for a new campaign. With the Olympics in play, however, it throws off the entire schedule and presents a new challenge for the King.

To ensure he’s in good condition for the tournament (July 26-August 11), LeBron is going to need to stay active and in the gym throughout the offseason. Unfortunately, by the time the Olympics are over, the regular season will be right around the corner and there will be practically no downtime to recover.

Unless LeBron retires or walks back his Team USA commitment at the last minute, he’s going to be in for a busy year and it’s sure to take a toll on his aging body. So far, James has managed to overcome every challenge in his path but it remains to be seen how much longer he can sustain this level of production.

 

LeBron James Is The Story Of The Summer

As an unrestricted free agent in July, LeBron James can shake the basketball world with his decision this summer. After 21 seasons in the NBA, he’s got nothing left to prove on this stage, and retiring at the end of a gold medal run would only be icing on the cake for the 4x champion.

After averaging 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per game during the regular season, James showed that he can still play at a high level and there’s no reason to think that will change going into next fall. However, as LeBron has mentioned before, his will to endure the grind of an 82-game season is starting to fade, and he has already acknowledged a growing desire to spend more time with his family.

Of course, even if he does agree to return next season, it doesn’t mean it will be back with the Lakers. LeBron’s interest in playing with his son has been well-documented, and that outcome is still in the works, depending on if/when he gets picked.

As LeBron considers all his options, he’ll also be preparing to represent Team USA on the world’s biggest stage. With a lineup set to feature superstars like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Anthony Edwards, and others, James will be one of many legendary stars fighting for the USA this summer.

Hopefully, it doesn’t put too much of a burden on James to come through for them in Paris, but either way, he’s taking a massive risk by participating, given how little time he’s got left.

If Lebron James Teams Up With Anthony Davis And Myles Turner, Especially At The Center Position, It Will Truly Send Shivers Down The Spines Of Rival Teams In The NBA

The prospect of LeBron James teaming up with Anthony Davis and Myles Turner, particularly with Turner in the center position, indeed sends shivers down the spines of opposing teams in the NBA. Here’s why such a trio would be a formidable force on the basketball court:

LeBron James’ Versatility: LeBron James, often hailed as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, possesses a rare combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ. His ability to play multiple positions, handle the ball, score, rebound, and facilitate makes him a matchup nightmare for any defense. With his leadership on and off the court, James can elevate the performance of his teammates and orchestrate plays with precision.

Anthony Davis’ Dominance

: Anthony Davis, a perennial All-Star and former NBA champion, is a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the floor. Standing at 6 feet 10 inches tall with a remarkable wingspan, Davis dominates in the paint with his scoring, shot-blocking, and rebounding prowess. His ability to stretch the floor with his outside shooting adds another dimension to his offensive game, creating space for his teammates to operate.

Myles Turner’s Defensive Presence

: Myles Turner, known for his shot-blocking ability and defensive acumen, would solidify the center position in this trio. Standing at 6 feet 11 inches tall, Turner possesses the length and athleticism to protect the rim and deter opponents from driving to the basket. His ability to anchor the defense and switch onto perimeter players adds versatility and flexibility to the team’s defensive schemes.

Floor Spacing and Interior Dominance

: With LeBron James’ playmaking ability and court vision, paired with Anthony Davis’ inside-outside scoring threat and Myles Turner’s defensive presence in the paint, this trio would excel in both half-court sets and transition offense. Turner’s ability to stretch the floor with his outside shooting would open up driving lanes for James and Davis, while also providing additional spacing for perimeter shooters.

Defensive Versatility

: Defensively, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Myles Turner would form a formidable trio capable of switching, rotating, and protecting the rim with their length, athleticism, and basketball IQ. Their ability to communicate and cover ground effectively would disrupt opposing offenses and create transition opportunities for easy baskets.

In summary, the combination of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Myles Turner would indeed be a “scary good” lineup in the NBA, blending offensive firepower, defensive prowess, and basketball IQ to create a formidable force capable of contending for championships.
