5
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.920
music, tours, movies and life. I'm your host, Annalie's idol,

6
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.200
and boy do we have some exciting
stories for you today. A woman who

7
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.439
claimed to have attended Taylor Swift's Paris
concert shocked fans as she shared a picture

8
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.840
of a baby lying on the floor
in the standing area of the arena.

9
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.679
The concert took place on Friday night
at the La Defense Arena in the French

10
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.840
capital, and the post has since
been widely reshared on x The viral tweet,

11
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.759
which has now gained more than one
point seven million views, has raised

12
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.840
serious concerns among fans who are worried
for the safety of the bib. The

13
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.239
photo shows a child lying on what
appears to be a feathered boa or jacket

14
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.959
as their guardian or parents stands over
them. It is unknown at what point

15
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.799
in the night the photos were taken
and whether the show had begun. In

16
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.959
the image, it seems the baby
was wearing ear protection from the noise while

17
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.760
in close proximity to the huge crowd. The caption of the post read not

18
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.000
to be one of those people,
but I would genuinely call security if I

19
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.400
saw a baby in the pit,
because it is not safe there. Blood

20
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.439
Defense Arena released a statement which read
Paris La Defense Arena General Terms and Conditions

21
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.760
of sale stipulate that all miners without
any age limit holding a ticket for a

22
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.359
concert at Paris Laod Defense Arena must
be accompanied by an adult under eighteen.

23
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:52.079
Children remain under their legal guardian responsibility. Its venue policy for spectators with a

24
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:56.640
young child on the floor, An
alternative seating arrangement was proposed, but refused

25
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.000
by ticket holders. Furious fans were
outraged at one why the baby was even

26
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.640
allowed in the arena and flooded X. As a mom of a baby that's

27
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.960
about this size, I couldn't imagine
bringing them into a concert at all.

28
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.800
I understand sitters are hard to find, so if you really needed to bring

29
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.879
them, you shouldn't be in the
pit. You should have a carrier for

30
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.719
them and the baby needs ear protection. What in the actual why just why

31
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.080
why would you risk that? How
were they even allowed to enter the pit

32
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.879
area with the baby in the first
place. Can't imagine how stressful it must

33
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.240
have been for the baby to be
in that environment, laying on the floor.

34
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.840
Of all places, one person gets
pushed, one girl gets too drunk,

35
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.360
like, OMG, I'm mortified.
Why would security let them in the

36
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.120
first place? A concert is no
place for a baby. Bradley Cooper has

37
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.159
sent fans into a frenzy as he
showed off his hilarious dance moves while watching

38
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.439
the singer perform her biggest hits in
front of a huge crowd in France.

39
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.639
The actor joined his girlfriend Gigi Hadid
and Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelcey on a private

40
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.639
balcony, with the trio dancing together
footage from the show. A clip circulated

41
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.400
on social media showed Bradley dancing to
Taylor's hits blank Space and but Daddy,

42
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.960
I Love Him. The fun video
sparked a flurry of responses on x with

43
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.599
one reshare captioned Bradley Cooper is me
at parties. Other responses included I don't

44
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:21.800
know who I like watching more Gigi
Ross or Bradley. All of these videos

45
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.639
are absolute gold'alloall makes you realize
how much natural rhythm Travis has. But

46
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.319
hey, get it, Bradley,
it seems like he's trying to keep up

47
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.479
with Travi and Gigi alloal Swift appeared
to include a creative nod to Kelsey and

48
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.400
his team Sunday when she wore the
team's red and gold colors amid a sequence

49
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.680
that included the tracks Bad Blood,
Shake It Off, and Blank Space.

50
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:49.719
Sunday Night's production was the fifth time
Kelsey attended the elaborate tour, which spans

00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.879
the various eras of Swift's career.

Sunday to thank her fans in Paris for

55
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:14.479
their support amid her series of shows
in which she performed material from her new

setting Eras Tour picked back up in
Paris after taking a two month hiatus,

62
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.879
giving fans new songs and another portion
of the show. This post is dedicated

63
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.600
to the new Tortured Poets section of
the Eras Tour aka Female Rage the Musical

64
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.879
and everyone who made these memories so
magical, Swift wrote in a post on

65
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.959
X Sunday to my crew, fellow
performers, and band who worked tirelessly in

66
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.879
their break to concoct this surprise for
you, but mostly for the fans in

67
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:10.319
Paris. I'm so thankful that it
was you. We got to show this

68
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.879
too for the first time because you
gave us so much excitement, passion and

69
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.759
love. I'm so fired up to
play this for every crowd on the tour,

70
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.959
she continued, see you very soon, Stockholm. While it's unclear what

71
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.680
Swift's plans are Fans quickly took to
social media to share their theories. My

72
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.000
guess is this is probably for merch. I do not see her making a

73
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.040
musical that's literally named This seems too
on the nose for a real piece of

74
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.759
work, but works well as a
funny heiress tour joke. One person posted

75
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.160
on X the Taylor Swift Effect coming
to Broadway. Another wrote more in a

76
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:51.439
moment. Planning a summer vacation in
Europe usually requires an exorbitant amount of cash,

77
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.120
but when Taylor Swift is involved,
it actually might be a deal.

78
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.519
Fans looking to snag tickets to the
European leg of her popular air R tour

79
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.439
are finding it substantially cheaper to see
Swift overseas, even with flights and hotels

80
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:10.680
factored in, thanks in part to
a historically strong dollar and strict European Union

81
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:15.240
regulations placed on ticket resellers that make, in the words of Swift herself,

82
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.680
anything but a cruel summer Jacking up
prices on the European secondary market is considered

83
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:26.759
a predatory activity that reduces consumer choice
and exploits consumers by charging them way higher

84
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:32.399
prices than the event organizers actually intended. Sam Shechemtab, managing director for ticket

85
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:39.839
resale advocacy group Face Value European Alliance
for Ticketing, told CNN. For example,

86
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.480
secondary market ticket prices for Swift's show
in Stockholm, Sweden, this Saturday

87
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.560
are as cheap as three hundred dollars
for standing room only and seats in the

88
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.639
nosebleed sections. Prices are just a
few hundred more in prime seating locations at

89
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.639
Friends Arena, home of the Swedish
men's national football team. Planning a last

90
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.120
minute trip is more expensive compared to
planning months ahead, but there are some

91
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.920
affordable ways to get to Sweden.
A round trip flight from New York with

92
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.240
a connection is running about seven hundred
dollars, and rates at a four star

93
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:16.439
hotel about three hundred, according to
Kayak. Altogether, that's about one thousand,

94
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.959
three hundred dollars before food and beverage
is factored in. Compare that to

95
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:26.279
Swift's show in Miami in October,
where seats are selling for about two thousand

96
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.519
to as much as eight thousand,
five hundred on stub Hub. Prices for

97
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.600
her other two US shows, in
New Orleans and Indianapolis are roughly the same,

98
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.839
Sweden isn't the only budget friendly city. Prices for Swift's stops in Portugal,

99
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.360
Spain and Germany in the coming months
can be purchased as cheap as three

100
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:47.279
hundred to four hundred a ticket,
substantially cheaper than the average resale price of

101
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:54.160
one thousand, six hundred dollars during
her US dates last year. Although Europe's

102
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.680
laws on ticket resale vary country by
country, a number of them, including

103
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.399
Ireland and Portugal, band ticket sellers
from making a profit on the secondary market.

104
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.240
In France, reselling is banned unless
authorized by the promoter. Shem tob

105
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.040
said for Swifties looking to jump over
the pond for their London Boy, Shemtab

106
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.480
recommends using ticket sellers such as Ticketmaster, AEG, even Time or twickets.

107
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.120
He Aded also be extremely wary of
using Internet search because the predatory resale platforms

108
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.439
all pay top dollar to have their
listings appear at the top of search results.

109
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.120
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively famously allowed
Taylor Swift to reveal the name of

110
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:41.159
their third child via song four years
ago, so there was much speculation over

111
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.720
whether Taylor had also let slip the
name of their fourth child. In her

112
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:50.080
newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, which was released just over a year

113
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.240
after the couple welcomed their latest edition, Blake quietly revealed that she had given

114
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.440
birth to baby number four in February
last year, but she and Ryan have

115
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.519
yet to rever their Bundle of Joy's
name, prompting Today host Savannah Guthrie to

116
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.399
ask the actor if their child's name
had once again been revealed by their close

117
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.120
friend Taylor. We always wait for
Taylor to tell us what the child's name

118
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.360
is, said Ryan. And I
will say this. We're still waiting.

119
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.320
She's a prolific writer. I mean, what are we doing here? And

120
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.080
lazy is not a word I'd attached
to Taylor, he humorously added. Taylor

121
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.559
previously confirmed that Blake and Ryan had
allowed her to reveal the name of their

122
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.639
third child in her twenty twenty track
Betty. The couple welcomed their third child,

123
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.360
daughter Betty, in twenty nineteen.
