    LOOK AT…Taylor Swift had the best year for aпy bυsiпess leader iп receпt memory

    Taylor Swift didn’t have to run a major company or helm a central bank to wield some immense economic power this year.

    ADS BY MAXVALUE

    The pop superstar reigned supreme in 2023 not just as a musical artist, but also as a businessperson: Her career-defining “Eras” tour sold out stadiums across the globe, fans splurged on merchandise while attending her concerts, the film of her tour broke box office records in its opening weekend, and Swift herself became a billionaire along the way.

    Swift achieved remarkable feats that would be impressive for any typical business leader running a Fortune 500 company. She commanded a loyal base of fans who came out in full force to spend, and in an economy mainly driven by consumer spending, that’s success for any business leader – whether or not they bear the title of “chief executive officer.” (Here’s CNN Business’ choice of CEO of the year.)

    “She’s a powerhouse, business-wise,” Armen Shaomian, an associate professor of sport and entertainment management at the University of South Carolina, told CNN.

    No other company leader in recent memory has generated so much goodwill with customers, so much international enthusiasm, or such business acumen.

    That’s why Swift is CNN’s businessperson of the year — yet another accolade of the iconic singer’s massive influence on the world’s richest capitalistic society.

    The commercially successful “Eras” tourThe Eras tour was the centerpiece of Swift’s phenomenal year, and it’ll stretch through the end of 2024. StubHub said Swift’s tour “was the biggest” in the ticket company’s two-decade history, outpacing other successful acts in terms of ticket sales.

    “Taylor Swift wasn’t just performing; she was rewriting the playbook, leaving a trail of glitter, economic stimuli and friendship bracelets wherever she went,” the company’s year-end report said.

    Swift herself hasn’t released official sales figures, but some estimates show the tour is already raking in 10 figures. Pollstar estimated earlier this month that the tour’s first 60 shows grossed more than $1 billion.

    An analysis shared exclusively with CNN earlier this year projected that Swift’s shows in North America alone could bring in more than $2 billion in revenue, making it the highest-grossing tour ever.

    Swift’s gravitational pull was so strong that fans were aggressively bidding up ticket prices on the re-sale market. SeatGeek previously told CNN the average resale price of an “Eras” ticket was $1,607, up 741% from her “Reputation” tour in 2018, for which the average resale ticket price was $191.

    She is a generous boss, too, sharing $100,000 bonuses with Eras Tour truck drivers during the summer.

    The sensational tour itself was like a traveling ball of economic activity, crisscrossing through major American cities as fans descended with cash burning holes through their wallets.

    Hotel rooms in cities hosting Eras shows filled up fast, retailers said they got a boost from concertgoers seeking clothes to match the tour’s theme, and a Federal Reserve report even noted how the tour boosted hotel revenue in Philadelphia, according to one business in the survey.

    Swift’s business acumenWhat really highlights Swift’s business acumen is how the singer capitalized on that burning enthusiasm to drive even more sales. Electrified fans opened their wallets to snap up shirts, sweaters, hats, posters and other kinds of merchandise exhibiting the singer in all her glory.

    It was an excellent case study of understanding your customers and giving them what they want.

    “The merchandising aspect of the tour was so important because it allowed fans to bring home some of that experience since it’s all about the memories,” Shaomian of the University of South Carolina said.

    “Fans were lining up hours before the arena even opened because the merchandise was set up in a different area and they wanted first dibs on buying. Even if only a quarter of those people bought something, that’s easily at least a million dollars a night,” he said.

    That’s on top of merchandise available online. From guitar picks to nail gems, Swift gave her ardent fans another reason to spend more, and spend they did.

    Swift’s business strategy went beyond the concert stage to the big screen, again capitalizing on the already-feverish hype for the singer and her signature tour.

    The singer-songwriter released a film of this year’s shows in mid-October, titled “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.” The film raked in a staggering $96 million in its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, according to movie theater chain AMC. That made it the highest grossing concert film domestically for an opening weekend.

    “It took less than 24 hours for the Taylor Swift The Eras Tour concert film to shatter AMC’s US record for the highest ticket-sales revenue during a single day in AMC’s 103-year history,” AMC said at the time.

    And what business leader doesn’t benefit some good publicity?

    In addition to countless other news stories, Swift was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year, an arguably prestigious honor usually reserved for changemakers such as Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Pope Francis.

    “It feels like the breakthrough moment of my career, happening at 33,” Swift told Time. “And for the first time in my life, I was mentally tough enough to take what comes with that.”

    Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes accused of buying the Super Bowl by 49ers legend; Donte Whitner thinks the Chiefs had help from the refs

     

     

    Whitner made these assertions during an appearance on Kay Adams’ Up & Adams show, where he expressed his belief that the 49ers faced not only their opponents on the field but also unfair officiating.

     

    Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes accused of buying the Super Bowl by 49ers legend; Donte Whitner thinks the Chiefs had help from the refs

    “I think that the 49ers played against the refs as well, guys,” Whitner stated, pointing out instances of what he perceived as biased calls favoring the Chiefs. “The 49ers played against Taylor Swift, the refs, and the Kansas City Chiefs. All three.”

    However, Whitner’s claims are not isolated. Will Compton, a former NFL linebacker with nine seasons under his belt and experience playing for five different teams, echoed similar sentiments shortly after the Chiefs secured victory over the 49ers in the Super Bowl. Taking to X, Compton likened the NFL to the scripted outcomes of professional wrestling, suggesting that games are predetermined for entertainment purposes.

    Adding fuel to the fire, the notion of NFL games being rigged is not a new one. The discourse stretches back to Super Bowl III, where Hall of Famer Bubba Smith of the Baltimore Colts alleged that their defeat against Joe Namath and the New York Jets was orchestrated. Smith posited that the outcome was influenced by the league to bolster its popularity during the merger era.

    Smith’s claims included accusations against his own team, implicating Colts quarterback Earl Morrall in the alleged fix. Despite these historical allegations, the NFL has consistently denied any involvement in rigging games.

    While Whitner’s assertions may spark controversy and skepticism among fans, the veracity of such claims remains uncertain. In a league where drama and spectacle often rival on-field action, discerning fact from fiction can prove to be a daunting task. As the debate over the integrity of NFL games persists, one thing remains certain: the allure of conspiracy theories surrounding the league shows no signs of fading away.

    NBA analyst argues Lakers feel the heat as Jokic becomes West’s new kingpin

    LeBron James must be tired of the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic and his boys have dominated James’ Lakers, winning their last 10 matchups. That includes a sweep of last year’s Western Conference finals and the gut-wrenching Game 2 win in the first round earlier this week. Jokic is an unstoppable force tormenting the league and his Nuggets seem even more inevitable against James and the Lakers.

    FOX Sports NBA analyst Rachel Nichols said on “Undisputed” that James should be all too familiar with the Nuggets’ domination in the Western Conference due to his past domination of the East.

    “LeBron James is getting a taste of his own medicine,” Nichols said. “All of those years he played in the Eastern Conference when he played for Cleveland and Miami we kept calling the Finals the LeBron James invitational because no one else had a shot in the conference, no one else is getting there. That is what is happening with Nikola Jokic right now.”

    Jokic is primed to win his third MVP. He is the straw that stirs the drink for the Nuggets. However, the pieces around him complement him perfectly in ways that James’ Cavaliers teams never did for James. Nichols acknowledged Jokic’s supporting cast in her take.

    “The team that is built around him and the way they function, especially as games continue, they all know what they are supposed to do at the end of games,” Nichols added.”Jamal Murray obviously knows what he is supposed to do. Nikola Jokic cleared out the rest of those players on that last shot by Jamal Murray. Jokic had a hand in that play as well. This is exactly what LeBron used to do to everyone else.”Expand TweetLeBron James explains mentality going into Game 3

    LeBron James is no stranger to heartbreaking postseason losses. Nothing could be worse than J.R. Smith’s scoring error in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals.

    In Game 2 against the Nuggets, however, the 21-year-old veteran found it difficult to digest Jamal Murray’s buzzer-beating shot.

    He and his Lakers squad will need to bounce back quickly to stay in this series. James explained his mindset going into Game 3.

    “Protect home. That’s where my mindset goes,” James said. “Obviously the only game that matters now is Game 3 and how we can get better, how we can figure this team out. So Game 3 is where my mindset is.”

    It will take a short memory, although the final scene of Game 2 may never be erased from the minds of the Lakers players after they controlled most of the game.

    The Lakers will go back home for Game 3 to try and end the 10-game winning streak for Denver in the series. The game tips off at 10 pm ET on Thursday, April 24.

  • ‘BIG WORDS’ Jason Kelce breaks down in laughter on New Heights podcast after brother Travis ‘avoids word on rundown he doesn’t know’

    ‘BIG WORDS’ Jason Kelce breaks down in laughter on New Heights podcast after brother Travis ‘avoids word on rundown he doesn’t know’

    NFL star Travis Kelce has found himself tongue-tied while introducing a podcast guest.

    The Kansas City Chiefs tight end hosts the New Heights podcast with his brother, and former Philadephia Eagles center Jason.

    The duo were joined by Hollywood star and comedian Andrew Santino for their latest episode.

    However, Travis found himself struggling to read their script while discussing the Ricky Stanicky star.

    “Wikipedia has…has a list of…myriad of reasons..myriad of things…that they have on there as ‘You’re known as,” he said, before being cut short by Jason.

    “Time out, I’ve got to bring this up,” Jason said.

    “He’s avoiding a word that’s on this rundown cause he doesn’t know what the word is.”

    “I used another good word,” replied Travis, to which Jason gleefully admitted, “You did, you navigated it well.”

    After handing Santino his tablet, he revealed the word in question was “pseudonyms,” prompting an outburst of laughter from Jason and the crew.

    “Silent Ps always get me,” admitted Travis

    Jason later noted that he didn’t blame Travis for the issue, but rather “whoever wrote that word in there,” adding, “How dare you.”

    “You can’t say you’re not proud of me,” Travis later said, with Jason complimenting him on using “some big words there.”

    A clip of the segment quickly landed on X, formerly known as Twitter, captioned, “Intern Emma did Trav no favors tossing this word in the rundown.”

    It quickly garnered an array of responses from fans, such as one who said, “Honest mistake, Intern Emma but @tkelce you didn’t miss a beat! I wouldn’t have known the difference.”

    “Jason just straight up called him out on it too,” said a second.

    “So mean. Travis I got you!” another reply read.

    Santino also recalled Travis' wardrobe malfunction in 2019 when he appeared on his podcast, Whiskey Ginger

    While a fourth responded, “I have to say this bit is getting old.

    “We get it. He had done well passing it off and no one noticed. It seemed unnecessary. Love the show but did not love this part tbh.”

    This was far from the only moment of the podcast that left Travis, Jason, and Santino in stitches.

    Santino recalled a hilarious wardrobe malfunction Travis experienced on his podcast, Whiskey Ginger, in 2019.

    “My editor calls me, and he’s like: ‘Bro, I don’t know how to tell you this, but Travis was falling out of his shorts,” he said.

    “I was like: ‘What are you saying, dude? What do you mean [by] falling out of his shorts?”

    “He was like: ‘his boys were sliding out,” he continued.

    “And I was like: ‘Oh no.”

    But to make sure the footage remained usable, Santino asked for the Chiefs logo to be added “whenever it falls out.”

    As such, throughout the episode, a logo covers Travis’ lower half.

  • Lebron James Considers Retirement After Lakers Loss In Western Conference Finals: ‘I Got A Lot To Think About’

    Lebron James Considers Retirement After Lakers Loss In Western Conference Finals: ‘I Got A Lot To Think About’

    https://image2.affcoder.com/storage/images/1694838445onF7UpmlXarQspfdo9sp.jpg

     

    Lebron James said he’s considering retirement after the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs during Monday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets.

    The 38-year-old dropped 40 points in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, but the team fell short with a 113-111 loss to the Nuggets.

    ESPN reported that James spoke with reporters after the game and shared his thoughts on the 4-0 sweep and his career moving forward.

    “Going forward with the game of basketball, I’ve got a lot to think about,” James said at a post-game news conference, per ESPN.

    After the news conference, an ESPN reporter asked him to elaborate on his comment about his NBA career. James replied, “If I want to continue to play,” insinuating that him suiting up in a Lakers jersey next season is not certain.

    The Ohio native wrapped up his 20th season in the NBA and said his right foot injury was a factor in his postseason performance. James said he knew he had to play through the pain and didn’t doubt his ability to make it through the series.

    “I knew I could get to the finish line,” James told ESPN. “Obviously, I knew I had to deal with it and deal with the pain or deal with not being able to be myself before the injury, but there was nothing that made me feel like I couldn’t get to the finish line.”

    James also said he plans to undergo an MRI over the summer to determine if he needs surgery.

    “I’m going to get an MRI on it and see how the tendon either healed or not healed and go from there. We’ll see what happens,” he said.

    An insider close to James told ESPN that the postseason was mentally and physically draining for the four-time NBA champion. According to the source, James faced various difficulties in the rounds against the Memphis Grizzles, Golden State Warriors and the Nuggets.

    The Lakers are also facing salary cap issues, with no major sign of being able to greatly improve the roster next season, TMZ reported.

  • LeBron James rants at NBA’s replay center for calls after Lakers’ buzzer-beating defeat in Denver

    LeBron James rants at NBA’s replay center for calls after Lakers’ buzzer-beating defeat in Denver

    LeBron James rants at NBA’s replay center for calls after Lakers’ buzzer-beating defeat in Denver

    James’ anger boiled over after the Lakers’ latest loss to the Nuggets

    LeBron James was seeing red after the Los Angeles Lakers watched a golden opportunity slip away.

    His frustration wasn’t so much centered on blowing a 20-point lead. Or his late missed 3-pointer that rimmed out with the game tied. Or Jamal Murray’s fadeaway buzzer-beater that gave the Denver Nuggets a 101-99 win over the Lakers in Game 2 of their first-round series Monday night.

    James’ anger was more distant — the NBA’s replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey. At the heart of his wrath was a second-half foul of Michael Porter Jr. that was overturned with the league saying MPJ had made only marginal contact on D’Angelo Russell.

    “I don’t understand what’s going on in the replay center, to be honest,” said James, whose team heads back to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday facing a 2-0 deficit. “D-Lo clearly gets hit in the face on the drive. What the (expletive) do we have a replay center … it doesn’t make sense. It makes no sense. It bothers me.”

    James wasn’t his usually expansive self in his postgame interview after the Lakers watched Murray and the Nuggets storm back from a 68-48 hole to capture their 10th straight win over the Lakers.

    James had a chance to give the Lakers a lead with around 16 seconds left on a wide open 3-pointer.

    “Rimmed out,” lamented James, who finished with 26 points and 12 assists.

    Porter grabbed the rebound, setting up Murray’s game-winner, a fadeaway jumper over Anthony Davis as time expired.

    James got right to the point after the game.

    — On Denver’s comeback, which included being outscored 32-20 in the fourth: “We missed shots. We still got great looks and we just missed them. And they made it.”

    — On Russell hitting seven 3s after going 1 for 9 from deep in the series opener: “We never lost confidence in him. D-Lo is D-Lo.”

    — On if the Lakers can take anything from this game into Game 3 in L.A.: “Every game is its own challenge.”

    — On the challenges after a heartbreaking loss: “Of course it’s a heartbreaking game and you don’t want to lose in that fashion.”

    That’s when James began voicing his frustration with the replay center. Earlier in the game, Murray was called for a foul when James drove to the basket, only to have the Nuggets successfully challenge for the foul to be waved off.

    In his replay-center rant, James referenced Monday’s earlier game, when the New York Knicks rallied in the final 30 seconds of a chaotic 104-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Knicks got the go-ahead 3-pointer from Donte DiVincenzo with 13 seconds left, a possession that started when they stole the ball from Tyrese Maxey. Joel Embiid said Maxey was fouled, and also that coach Nick Nurse and some players had attempted to call timeout before the Knicks got the ball.

    “What are we doing?” James said as he ended his postgame interview.

  • Was Jason Kelce Responsible for Jey vs Jimmy Uso Stinker at WrestleMania? Jey Uso’s Comments Decoded

    Was Jason Kelce Responsible for Jey vs Jimmy Uso Stinker at WrestleMania? Jey Uso’s Comments Decoded

    WrestleMania XL turned out to be one of the biggest ‘Manias of all time. The main event of WrestleMania XL night 2 saw Cody Rhodes keep Roman Reigns down for three counts, and take the title home. However, night 1 of WrestleMania also featured another extremely exciting match-up and appearance, including Jason Kelce. The night one mid-card featured the two Samoan brothers going against each other. After months of heated rivalry, Jey and Jimmy Uso finally collided in the ring, only to produce a lackluster match.

    However, recently certain facts came out, possibly revealing the reasons behind that.

    Jason Kelce appeared at WrestleMania XL

    Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson appeared at WrestleMania XL. Both the stars left their impression at the event during Rey Mysterio and Andrade vs Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar. Rey Mysterio and Andrade received help from the masked team of Jason Kelce and Johnson. Their interference helped Mysterio and Andrade secure the win over Dirty Dom and Escobar. Recently, speaking to Gorilla Position, Jey Uso revealed the factor of time was a major reason for his ‘Mania match not reaching his desired expectations.

    He said, “I kind of feel like we did let the people down. I wanted to go out there and have a straight up banger, too. I wanted to do the wrestling part, but make sure the emotion part was there. It was just a time issue, Uce. You just have to play your position on the team. That’s what happened.”

    Jason Kelce’s appearance occurred right between Jimmy and Jey’s match and might have taken up the dedicated time slot. Often unforeseen situations occur, and superstars need to adjust and cope with them. Although the former right-hand man of Roman Reigns did not take any name, it is expected that the interference from Kelce and Johnson might have been the cause.

    Jason and Travis Kelce expected to appear at another upcoming WWE PLE

    A few months back, during an episode of ImPaulsive, host Logan Paul revealed Cleveland to be the next host for SummerSlam 2024. One of the major four events of the year, SummerSlam, is considered the second big thing next to WrestleMania.

    Speaking on his podcast, he claimed his desire to bring in Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce, and LeBron James, all Cleveland natives. The Maverick Logan Paul is himself a native of Cleveland, although now settled in Puerto Rico. Fans expect big things out of the event, and with Paul teasing such major appearances, the WWE universe can only wonder what might be next.
