Month: July 2024

Chris Brown really gave fans a show they won’t soon forget during his tour stop in Toronto.

The Look at Me Now singer, 35, took part in an impressive stunt that saw him suspended into the air during a recent performance in Canada.

Yet all eyes were on his unmissable bulge once footage of the feat was posted to X.

The singer – who also went viral earlier this month – was fully-clothed but the harness lifting him into the air drew attention to his manhood.

‘Chris Brown is loaded,’ the video was captioned by fan account @ginterngl.

‘Good God,’ another wrote.

Brown is currently traveling throughout North America as part of the 11:11 Tour and was in Toronto this past weekend.

This isn’t the first time Brown’s tour has made headlines.

Earlier this month, a video of Brown angrily confronting stage staff after being stuck in the air on suspension wires during a concert went viral.

The singer  — who recently claimed he was disinvited to the NBA All -Star Celebrity Game — can be seen suspended over the stage by wires while performing at New Jersey‘s Prudential Center on Wednesday, per a clip shared by @terriem89.

The Grammy winner was left dangling in the air while belting out Under The Influence after the wires malfunctioned.

Despite his evident frustration with the mishap, gesturing angrily at someone off-stage, Brown continued singing the track while his backup dancers perform below.

A ladder was swiftly brought to the stage, allowing Brown to descend and complete his song, though he engaged in a verbal exchange with one of the crew members who had assisted with bringing the ladder.

The video was captioned: ‘This man was hanging for a long ass time before anyone realized he was stuck.’

A different video detailing another angle of the incident was originally shared by The Hollywood Reporter.

THR reported that Brown told the crowd he was ‘angry’ at the end of the two-hour concert, but ‘also made light of the situation’.

Brown’s 11:11 tour will wrap up with two performances at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on August 6th and 7th.

The viral video comers after the singer cried foul after he claimed he was disinvited to play in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.

He blamed sponsor squeamishness about his violent past as a reason he was allegedly asked and then dropped from the annual game of hoops.

‘I was asked by the NBA to play in the all star game this year! Only for them to call later and say they couldn’t do IT because of their sponsors like Ruffles,’ he claimed.

‘At this point, I’m sick of people bothering me and I’m sick of living in the f**king past.

Chris Brown says unnamed artist went on 45 min tirade at a club

Brown pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault for attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna, now 35, in a well-publicized incident in 2009.

He agreed to a plea deal which required community service, domestic violence counseling and five years’ probation.

In 2012, he was involved in a brawl at a New York nightclub with Drake, NBA star Tony Parker and members of their entourages.  Eight people were injured but no criminal charges were filed.

That same year, he got into trouble for violating a restraining order and attending the same Halloween party as Rihanna. He was dressed as an Islamic terrorist.

In 2014, while in rehab for anger management issues, Brown was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

THR reported that Brown told the crowd he was ‘angry’ at the end of the two-hour concert, but ‘also made light of the situation’.

He was later kicked out of the facility for violating ‘internal rules,’ and sentenced to 131 days in jail for violating his probation.

A series of other legal issues continued to crop up, including charges he texted threats to former girlfriend Karrueche Tran, now 35, in 2017.  The Bel Air actress was granted a five year restraining order.

In 2021, police responded to his home after a woman called for help saying she had been struck in the back of the head. TMZand the Los Angeles ABC affiliate identified that man as Brown.

The Loyal singer posted a video on his Instagram stories with the a message scrolled across it which read, ‘This is to all the haters out there. If you don’t like what I do, but you watch everything I’m doing, you’re still a fan.’

With festival season now in full swing and Glastonbury underway, millions of Brits are taking the chance to put on their dancing shoes and party in the summer sun.

While the freedom of open-air festivals give revellers a chance to see their favourite artists, punters will soon be brought back down to earth if they want to purchase a drink at a major music event this summer.

Seeking to charge thirsty festivalgoers a premium for a humble pint of beer, prices have soared towards the £10 mark at some venues.

At Glastonbury this weekend, the cheapest pint available to ticket holders comes in at £6.75, which compares similarly to this year’s Isle of Wight festival, where it costs five pence more at £6.80.

Closer to the capital, some Taylor Swift fans may have left Wembley Stadium feeling short-changed, as they were required to fork out £7.85.

The most expensive pint at Britain’s biggest gig venues is at The O2 in Greenwich, south-east London, where sports sports fans were charged a whopping £8.95 for a pint of Budweiser at last month’s Premier League Darts.

Elsewhere, Foo Fighters fans were forced to fork out £7 for a pint to quench their thirst at the London Stadium, home of West Ham United Football Club, earlier this month.

Next month thousands of music lovers will be heading to Reading, Leeds, Download and BST festivals.

But while they can look forward to acts like xxx – the price of pint may sour their mood.

In 2023, Reading, Download and BST Hyde Park festivals all charged the same amount of £6.50 per pint – but it remains to be seen as to whether the prices at Reading and Hyde Park will change this summer.

Hospitality and consumer expert Laura Harvey said: ‘Firstly, I do agree that the price of a pint is disheartening for the festival attendees.

‘However, the reason for the inflated costs is that energy costs are still high, and breweries have to raise their prices as a result of their own increased energy bills, this is then passed on to the bars.

‘A lower rate of VAT would support hospitality businesses and drive economic growth, helping to keep prices down.

‘So, whilst I agree the prices are high, I can understand. There are some hospitality venues outside London who are having to sell a pint of premium lager at £5.95 to make their own margin. The government needs to do more to support hospitality businesses and reduce the VAT.’

In response to the publication of drinks prices by an insider at Worthy Far,m, which appeared on X, formerly Twitter, Glastonbury revellers have slammed the ‘criminal’ listings at the festival.

The prices have been branded ‘insane’ and ‘criminal’ with the starting price for a pint of beer £6.75, while a bottle of wine costs a staggering £30.

They are a slight increase on last year’s mammoth prices of £6.50 and £29, respectively.

A bottle of Prosecco will set festival-goers back £43.50, more than three times the amount for a bottle of Freixenet Prosecco which retails at £12.

Meanwhile, those who prefer spirits will have to pay out a minimum of £12.50 for a double and a mixer, with the maximum appearing to be a double spirit and Red Bull for £13.50.

An Aperol Spritz is the priciest cocktail at £12.50 with a Pornstar Martini costing £9.50.

A 250ml Red Bull energy drink is priced at £4.75 alone – a 197 per cent increase on the £1.60 retail price.

Others were left enraged by the £2.50 price for a can of water – although there are free water drinking points at the site.

There are more than 100 bars on the festival site with the Village Inn sitting to the left of the Pyramid stage.

X users have been left flabbergasted over the inflated prices with one writing: ‘£2.50 for a can of water is criminal.’

Another wrote: ‘Some of those prices are insane. 43 quid for a bottle of wine! You can buy a quality vintage for that money.’

A third posted a laughing emoji alongside a message that read: ‘£6 for a pint of coke.’

‘Drink prices at events these days are ridiculous,’ another raged.

‘They’ve basically doubled in about 4 years. I’m taking multiple coolboxes and frozen water bottles and will buy extra ice on Sunday. Last year only bought 3 drinks and had coldies all festie. No queues either!’

The historic Victorian-era Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich, south London, offers pints of lager costing up to £8.80

But others didn’t seem too bothered with one punter saying it was better than at his local.

While another pointed out that the money went to a good cause, saying: ‘Not bad prices compared to stadiums also the money goes to workers beer company. Great organisation’

Soaring alcohol costs are nothing new – with the price of a pint in London heading towards the £9 mark.

Industry chiefs say pubs fearful for their own futures are under mounting pressures such as soaring rising energy bills, competition from supermarkets and still playing catch-up with rents after Covid-19 lockdown-inflicted closures.

Office for National Statistics figures showed the nationwide average for a pint of lager leapt by 10.8 per cent in the 12 months to last December – from £4.24 to £4.70 and the British Beer and Pub Association says it is now £4.80 – and £5.69 across London.

Draught bitter was up by 9.1 per cent, hitting £3.93 rather than the previous £3.60 – while experts have warned pints in London could even rise to £14 next year.

But Londoners are finding themselves paying far more, with punters relating tales of being charged as much as £8.50 per pint at the Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich, south-east London.

That Grade II-listed riverside pub beside the Thames actually displays on its website prices peaking at £8.80 for a draught pint of Brixton Coldharbour Lager.

Last week, a casually dressed Prince William took his older son George and daughter Charlotte to the sold-out Taylor Swift concert in London.

Afterwards, they posed with the superstar and her boyfriend Travis Kelce for selfies sent round the world. Even without Kate or little Louis, it was a joyful tableau of a modern royal family. William had even been bad dad dancing to Taylor’s hit Shake It Off.

Travis later revealed on his podcast that William’s aides briefed the singer and her beau that there was ‘no need to bow’ to our future King.

Hallelujah, I thought. I’m an ardent monarchist but would humbly suggest this should become the rule in future — and not just for stars but for every ‘commoner’ who meets a member of the Royal Family.

The arcane tradition of grovelling to royals is out of touch with the present-day monarchy King Charles tells us he is seeking to establish, one that reflects a diverse society and treats everyone equally. I’ve long held this view.

I even told the late Queen of it in the 1990s, when I was among 10 lucky Australians granted an audience with her in the White Drawing Room of Buckingham Palace.

With the witless naivety of a 30-something I said: ‘Your Majesty, I am honoured to curtsey before you having never curtsied to anyone before — but I will never do so again, unless it is you.’

Rihanna stuns as she raps along to GloRilla for A$AP Rocky

She might be keeping her fans waiting, but Rihanna is giving partner A$AP Rocky a live performance.

The Fenty mogul, 36, rapped GloRilla‘s ‘TGIF’ and dropped it low in a hilarious video she shared Friday of herself serenading the father of her two children.

‘Happy Friday,’ Rihanna captioned the post.

She pointed at the Don’t Be Dumb artist and threw her jacket in the air during her impromptu hallway performance.

‘I’m too old for this s***,’ said Rocky, 35, as he shook his head and walked away.

The couple welcomed their second child, son Riot Rose, 10 months, in August.

She revealed the pregnancy during her Super Bowl LVII halftime performance, debuting her baby bump in red.

Rihanna and Rocky, 35, also share 2-year-old son RZA Athelaston.

The Ocean’s 8 actress confirmed earlier this month that she ‘would definitely have more kids,’ before clarifying she’s ‘not pregnant.’

Meanwhile, Rihanna continues to keep her followers on the edges of their seats for her long-awaited ninth studio album.

After teasing fans with an ‘I’m retired’ t-shirt earlier this month, she has since revealed that she has plans to ‘go back in the studio.’

‘I think that music, for me, is a new discovery,’ she told Entertainment Tonight.

‘I’m rediscovering things,’ said Rihanna. ‘I have been working on the album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio. I’m gonna start. Give me a second!’

‘Happy Friday,’ Rihanna captioned the post

Her fans have patiently awaited a ninth studio album after dropping Anti in 2016.

Rihanna has stayed busy since launching Fenty Beauty in 2017, eventually expanding to include Savage X Fenty lingerie and Fenty Skin under the LVMH brand.

Fenty Beauty catapulted Rihanna to billionaire status in 2021, and she continues to remain the world’s wealthiest female musician.

In the past decade stars have been taking some pretty sexy side hustle jobs to make the cash flow into their already deep pockets.

One of the most lucrative is modeling lingerie for big brands, sometimes even their own.

Think of Kim Kardashian for SKIMS, a brand she founded and is now worth over $3billion. Then there is Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty line that is also a blockbuster. 

Jennifer Lopez has been working for Italian lingerie brand Intimissimi for several years. Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni have also posed for the company.

Padma Lakshmi has created her own line of alluring underthings for Bare Necessities.

Hailey Bieber, who is now heavily pregnant with her first child with husband Justin Bieber, has worked for years with massive lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret. 

Here is a look at the superstars who have stripped down to flash the flesh for big paydays.

KIM KARDASHIAN FOR SKIMS

Kim Kardashian has made a fortune with her $3B SKIMS brand. And often she has modeled the lingerie herself.

In 2022, Kim shocked the world when she hired some of the most famous models in the supermodel game to wear SKIMS.

The ex of Kanye West presented the new faces for the lingerie brand: Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Tyra Banks all made the cut. Three of these models have already been working for over 20 years.

‘It doesn’t get more iconic than this,’ the copy on the social media photos read.

Kim selected all four household names to star in the campaign showcasing the models’ strength, energy, and everlasting allure with imagery that reflects the group’s enduring legacies, it was shared in a Monday morning press release.

After the first batch of photos were shared, more were seen with Kim included.

‘OK so I wasn’t supposed to be in this @SKIMS campaign but I stopped by and jumped in because it was too iconic. Introducing Tyra, Heidi, Alessandra and Candice wearing our signature SKIMS Fits Everybody collection,’ wrote Kim in her Instagram caption.

JENNIFER LOPEZ FOR INTIMISSIMI

Jennifer Lopez showed off her fantastic figure in a new campaign for Italian intimates and loungewear brand, Intimissimi, in April.

The Bronx-born native had her hair back as she was seen in the Silky Intimates Collection.

‘It feels like silk but is made of this incredibly durable fabric that molds to your body like a second skin,’ said the reportedly estranged wife of Ben Affleck. ‘I always look for quality fabrications and superior comfortable fit,’ added the This Is Me… Now singer.

‘Intimissimi’s New Silky Intimates is a perfect collection – it’s classic in style and the fabrics are luxe,’ added Lopez.

‘It’s so important to feel comfortable and empowered in the pieces that are closest to your skin, and this collection does just that… And as always it’s absolutely gorgeous.’

JLo has been the brand ambassador for the company for two years.

The new collection features six pieces crafted with the brand’s signature ultralight microfiber. ‘Designed in Italy and hand-crafted by lingerie artisans, these lightweight undergarments redefine comfort and style for everyday wear,’ said a press release.

The campaign is all about ’empowerment,’ the company shared. ‘Under the creative direction of Riccardo Ruini, alongside the creative vision of director Jacob Bixenman and the lens of photographer Norman Jean Roy, the campaign artfully captures Lopez who embodies the essence of the product wearing our sophisticated lingerie and moving sinuously through shiny silk drapes,’ the release said.

‘A visually striking image is created by the interplay between the lightness and softness of the microfiber and the shininess and luxuriousness of the silk.’

‘I always look for quality fabrications and superior comfortable fit. Intimissimi’s New Silky Intimates is a perfect collection – it’s classic in style and the fabrics are luxe,’ added Lopez

PADMA LAKSHMI FOR BARE NECESSESITES

Padma Lakshmi has posed for her Padma X Bare Necessities line.

The 53-year-old Top Chef veteran was showing off her incredible figure in the new ads that were released to DailyMail.com in mid June along with an interview about what makes her feel sexy.

‘I’ve always wanted to do a lingerie line,’ the TV star – who talked about her ‘sexual peak’ recently – shared. ‘I’ve spent a lot of my modeling life wearing different types of lingerie, and it’s hard to find something that’s comfortable but still pretty, she added after going from a 34C bra size to 36DD.

The former Vogue model said she thought it would be a good opportunity to do this with Bare Necessities because she can serve ‘a variety of customers’ of all body types.

Lakshmi said that bras in larger cup sizes were not always attractive in the past, but hers are prettier.

‘I hope this collection makes you not only look good but feel good,’ she noted. ‘I hope that my selection is versatile and makes women feel not only like they have something pretty and special on, but that it’s functional.’

Padma Lakshmi stuns in BTS for ‘Padma X Bare Necessities’ line

The manager at the London bar where Travis and Jason Kelce shot their special New Heights episode this week revealed she was standing with a cutout of Taylor Swift when the Chiefs tight end arrived at the establishment.

The Kelce’s recorded the episode from Passyunk Avenue, a Philadelphia-inspired dive bar in the heart of central London, while in town for Swift’s Eras Tour shows at Wembley Stadium.

Speaking to PEOPLE, manager Jessi Riley detailed her first interaction with Travis.

 

‘We were having a ‘Swiftie Party’ later that day and it was extra funny because I was setting up the cardboard cut out of Taylor Swift as Travis walked in,’ said Riley.

‘I kind of said: ‘Sorry about the girlfriend, we’re having a Taylor Swift afterparty tonight.’ He said: ‘As am I.’ He was a bit early, so I wasn’t expecting him for another 45 minutes, so there I was standing with his girlfriend!’

Riley also revealed that the three-time Super Bowl champion ordered a beer and a cheesesteak as soon as he arrived.

The manager later detailed how Jason was warm from the moment they met.

‘[He] felt like a face I already knew,’ Riley shared. ‘He walked in and gave me a big bear hug around the shoulders and it just felt normal.’

Riley would appear on the episode while she served the Kelces traditional British cuisine – including a full English breakfast and afternoon tea.

Additionally, bar owner and Philadelphia native JP Geti raved about how Jason’s wife, Kylie, wanted to leave a souvenir after hosting them.

Our Cheesesteaks, Kelce APPROVED 👊 and that’s about all the approval we’ll ever need. #phillyinlondon #phillyphilly #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly #Food @JasonKelce @tkelce @hixsonmeatldn @newheightshow #Swifties pic.twitter.com/pOH26E7iP0

The Philadelphia-inspired bar has a replica of Jason’s mummers costume from the 2018 parade

‘Our bar has a bit of a tradition,’ Geti told PEOPLE. ‘Everything you see on the walls has been donated by people over time, so it’s like a collection of other people’s junk that proudly hangs in our bar.’

‘One thing that has happened over time is people will take American dollar bills and write messages in Sharpies and stick them all over the venue,’ he added.

‘As Jason and Kylie were getting ready to leave, she was like: ‘Jason give me a bill, I want to write a message and leave it behind.’ And Jason said: ‘All I’ve got is a 100,’ so Jason takes out a 100 and she says: ‘Okay fine I’m writing on a 100 then, that’s what we’re doing.’ The message was, ‘F*** Dallas, Go Birds and Go Cabrini,’ where she went to college.’

‘She insisted on standing on a chair and pinning it at the highest part of the venue herself and I just kept thinking, ‘Please don’t fall,’ Riley continued. ‘She said: ‘If you’re worried about liability just look away!’

‘She’s so cool, very down to earth,’ he added.

Geti opened Passyunk in 2018 after seeing the lack of dive bars in London. The bar also features a replica of the mummer costume worn by Jason during the Eagles’ victory parade in 2018.

The item was set next to the former Eagles center during the podcast with a collection of friendship bracelets he gathered at Swift’s show the night before.

‘They were sat in front of him like a trophy,’ Riley said laughing.

‘We really had to keep it under wraps that they were going to be here, but a few people worked it out,’ she continues. ‘It was quite surreal. They’re just really funny together. The second they start talking they’re amusing each other, and Travis said it had been like that since they were kids.’

Furthermore, Geti praised the NFL stars’ humility, saying: ‘They’re just really grounded dudes.’

Taylor Swift has sent fans wild after she debuted two new looks sporting Irish colours for her first of three Dublin shows.

The megastar, 34, took to Aviva Stadium in Ireland’s capital on Friday for the first show of her Eras Tour Dublin dates.

And she showed her love for the Emerald Isle as she donned not one but two different green ensembles for different eras in the show.

Her first tribute look was a forest green cape dress adorned with leaves and a cut-out at her abdomen – which she changed into for Folklore.

Later in the show, for her 1989 era, Taylor again sported the country’s colours as she wore bejewelled orange bralet and ombre green skirt.

‘Green Folklore outfit for Ireland slay Taylor’ and ‘Folklore is so Ireland coded’.

‘She did green ahhh,’; ‘Ireland is such a Folklore country’.

‘Tayleprechaun,’ ‘Taylor Swift perches on top on The Folklore Cabin in the green dress for the sister set ‘Folkmore’ at tonight’s show at Dublin, ‘Night One’ of three,’;

Earlier in the day, Taylor revealed she was ‘already feeling the Irish hospitality’ after rock band U2 gifted her a sweet bouquet to wish her luck ahead of her gig.

The American singer marked her first Dublin show before heading to Amsterdam the following week.

And Taylor appears to be loving her time in Dublin already as she took to her Instagram story on Friday to share with her followers a gorgeous snap of a bunch of pastel flowers.

Alongside the bouquet, was also a handwritten card by members of the band.

The sweet message read: ‘Dear Taylor, Welcome back to our hometown… leave some of it standing?!!!! Your Irish fan club, Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry.’

Taylor captioned the sweet snap with: ‘Already feeling that Irish hospitality!! @u2, thanks for always being the classiest & coolest (Irish flag).’

As Taylor prepares to kick off her gig in Dublin, eager fans were pictured waiting outside of the stadium and all were dressed to impress.

A plethora of pink feather boas, cowgirl hats, and sequin ensembles were spotted as fans patiently waited to enter the venue.

The hit singer, who regularly breaks records, played the 100th show of her Eras Tour at Liverpool earlier this month, the first of three back-to-back shows.

Taylor said she broke the stadium’s attendance record.

The previous record was 61,905 fans for an FA Cup fourth-round tie back in 1952.

‘Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend (you broke the all-time stadium attendance record!!) AND thank you to everyone who has come to any of the shows on The Eras Tour. It’s been the adventure of a lifetime because of you.’

It comes before Daily Mail revealed on Friday that Taylor is already working on new music for 2025 and has plans to tour again in 2026.

She has had an incredibly hectic year with her 152-date Eras tour and the release of The Tortured Poets Department.

However, both have not stopped her from already working on new music as insiders revealed she could be releasing more songs early next year.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, insiders have claimed she has been writing new material while on the road – which could see her address the controversy surrounding her alleged rivalry with Charli XCX.

‘Taylor is working on a new record which is due out in 2025 followed by a new tour in 2026,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘

‘She is heavily inspired by all the new experiences she is having on the Eras tour and has been quietly writing songs backstage.’

‘Contrary to what some say, she loves artists like Charli XCX so those who have heard some of the ideas say she is paying attention to what is hot right now and will use that as inspiration.’

Taylor’s TTPD – her 11th studio album – has maintained the No.1 position on the Billboard 200 chart since its release on April 19. A double album edition titled The Anthology, which contained 15 bonus tracks, was surprise-released digitally two hours later.

It comes before insiders revealed to DailyMail.com on Friday that Taylor is already working on new music for 2025 and has plans to tour again in 2026 (pictured earlier this month)

However, some critics have suggested her chart success could be a result of the periodic release of variant and extended editions to keep sales and streaming figures high.

In total, she has now put out 37 versions in two months.

Taylor is currently on the European leg of her Eras Tour, which saw her boyfriend Travis Kelce join her on stage on Saturday night, one day before a cavalry of stars – and royalty – descended on London’s Wembley Stadium for her takeover.

The 152-date tour has smashed records, surpassing the $1 billion mark to become the highest-grossing of all time before it was even halfway finished.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was crowned the highest-grossing concert film of all time when it hit theatres back in October.

It also broke a Disney+ record for the most-streamed music film after just three days, tallying up a collective 16.2 million hours in its opening weekend in March.

The sweet message read: ‘Dear Taylor, Welcome back to our hometown… leave some of it standing?!!!! Your Irish fan club, Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry.’

Taylor captioned the sweet snap with: ‘Already feeling that Irish hospitality!! @u2, thanks for always being the classiest & coolest (Irish flag).’

As Taylor prepares to kick off her gig in Dublin, eager fans were pictured waiting outside of the stadium and all were dressed to impress.

A plethora of pink feather boas, cowgirl hats, and sequin ensembles were spotted as fans patiently waited to enter the venue.

The hit singer, who regularly breaks records, played the 100th show of her Eras Tour at Liverpool earlier this month, the first of three back-to-back shows.

Taylor said she broke the stadium’s attendance record.

The previous record was 61,905 fans for an FA Cup fourth-round tie back in 1952.

‘Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend (you broke the all-time stadium attendance record!!) AND thank you to everyone who has come to any of the shows on The Eras Tour. It’s been the adventure of a lifetime because of you.’

It comes before Daily Mail revealed on Friday that Taylor is already working on new music for 2025 and has plans to tour again in 2026.

She has had an incredibly hectic year with her 152-date Eras tour and the release of The Tortured Poets Department.

However, both have not stopped her from already working on new music as insiders revealed she could be releasing more songs early next year.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, insiders have claimed she has been writing new material while on the road – which could see her address the controversy surrounding her alleged rivalry with Charli XCX.

‘Taylor is working on a new record which is due out in 2025 followed by a new tour in 2026,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘

‘She is heavily inspired by all the new experiences she is having on the Eras tour and has been quietly writing songs backstage.’

‘Contrary to what some say, she loves artists like Charli XCX so those who have heard some of the ideas say she is paying attention to what is hot right now and will use that as inspiration.’

Taylor’s TTPD – her 11th studio album – has maintained the No.1 position on the Billboard 200 chart since its release on April 19. A double album edition titled The Anthology, which contained 15 bonus tracks, was surprise-released digitally two hours later.

However, some critics have suggested her chart success could be a result of the periodic release of variant and extended editions to keep sales and streaming figures high.

In total, she has now put out 37 versions in two months.

Taylor Swift Gets Stuck on Platform After Stage Malfunction During Dublin Concert

When it comes to stage mishaps, Taylor Swift and her crew are experts at shaking it off!

During her second Eras Tour concert in Dublin on Saturday, June 29, Swift, 34, got stuck on a raised platform — but, thankfully, one of her dancers gave her a helping hand.

While performing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” a staple of the Tortured Poets Department portion of the tour setlist, the pop superstar was stranded midair on a platform at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium after it did not retract according to plan.

Rather than disappearing into the stage like the platform across from her — which held one of her backup dancers, Jan Ravnik — did, the part of the structure that the singer was standing on stayed firmly planted, fan-captured footage shows.

Ever the professionals, however, Swift and Ravnik did not miss a beat before smoothly handling the technical mishap.

Not wasting a moment, Ravnik walked over to the star’s platform immediately after his own reached the floor, and helped her down effortlessly as she smiled down at him, another clip of the performance shows.

Now both on flat ground, Swift and Ravnik went about business as usual, getting back into formation before “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” bridge, during which a group of dancers emerge for some marching band-inspired choreography.

During the same Eras Tour show, Swift opened up about Folklore — and revealed that Ireland played a large part in the development of the story of the fantasy-inspired pandemic-era album.

After performing “Cardigan,” the lead single from the record, which took home the Grammy for album of the year in 2021, Swift told the audience, “Folklore in general, it just belongs in Ireland.”

“How I imagined the album world looking [was like] Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters,” she continued, referring to the melancholic tales within the hit album. “You guys have that on lock, too. That’s very Irish, the storytelling.”

“When I was making this album, it was two days into the pandemic that I started Folklore, I wasn’t in Ireland. So I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go to every single day while I was writing it… I gotta be honest, kinda seemed like Ireland,” the Grammy winner told the crowd. “So we’re back to where we belong!”

The singer’s first Dublin show on Friday, June 30, was also filled with Irish pride. During Red’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” one of her backup dancers, Kameron Saunders, participated in a Swiftian tradition: giving each Eras Tour host country a shout-out in its native language. Saunders screamed the Irish phrase “póg mo thóin,” which, in English, means “kiss my ass.”

Night one in Dublin also saw Swift sporting an orange crop top and ombré green skirt in a shimmery — and stylish! — nod to the country’s flag.
