Today, your brief roundup of the

5
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:33.119
movies and life. During a memorable
performance in Portugal on Saturday as part

6
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.359
of her European Eras tour, and
emotional tailor gushed to the crowd during her

7
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.119
red set, I've just never seen
a crowd like this in my life.

8
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.479
There have been moments in this show
already where I like forget what I'm supposed

9
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.039
to do next or what I'm supposed
to say, because I'm just so distracted

10
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.479
by how much fun you're having and
how you're performing in the audience. I

11
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.960
love this. You're just so in
the moment, she added, and I

12
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.000
cannot tell you how special that is
for us as performers to get to look

13
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.239
out and make eye contact with you
and connect with you in this way,

14
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.239
noting it was an absolute dream to
bring the Airas tour abroad. After performing

15
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.359
in Lisbon on both Friday and Saturday. Swift asked the audience during her final

16
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.120
show, there is before I start
crying, there is one song that I

17
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.079
want to play you from the Red
album if you happen to have about ten

18
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.120
minutes to spare, do you have
ten minutes? This introduced her acoustic rendition

19
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:33.439
of All Too Well Taylor's version.
Later in the show, the singer surprised

20
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.599
the Portuguese audience with two song mashups. Accompanied by guitar, She performed The

21
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.280
Tortured Poets Department, her latest album's
title track, along with Now That We

22
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.920
Don't Talk. Swift then sang a
medley of You're on your Own Kid and

23
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.159
long Live on piano. After a
two month break, Swift returned to the

24
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.519
Arastur stage in Paris on May ninth. As anticipated by fans, she incorporated

25
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.920
songs from her new album, The
Tortured Poets Apartment into the three point five

26
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.439
hour set list. However, she
surprised the crowd by reordering the show lineup

27
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.759
and debuting many new costumes. Sporting
a white Vivian Westwood gown printed with lyrics

28
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.159
from the album, Swift opened the
segment with but Daddy, I Love Him,

29
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.319
before an abridged version of So High
School. She then levitated around the

30
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.840
stage on a moving platform while powerfully
singing Who's Afraid of a Little Old Me,

31
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.919
and performed down Bad encircled by a
UFO beam. During Fortnight, Swift

32
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.879
seemed to navigate an asylum and in
the Smallest Man who Ever Lived, she

33
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.319
mimed being shot while walking with a
marching band. For the final song of

34
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.719
the act, I Can Do It
with a Broken Heart, Swift did a

35
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.520
quick on stage change into a Vivian
Westwood lingerie set and jacket as her backup

36
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.360
dancers urged her to go on with
the show. She then recreated choreography from

37
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:59.080
across the Eras Tour while singing about
performing despite heartbreak. On Sunday, Taylor

38
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.000
also celebrated her her eighty seventh Eras
Tour show with several nods to boyfriend Travis,

39
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.479
who wears number eighty seven for the
Kansas City Chiefs, along with wearing

40
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.159
Chief's colors. During the nineteen eighty
nine section, Swift sang So High School

41
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:16.759
Live for the first time with Kelsey
in attendance scene, dancing and singing along

42
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.840
before mashing up the Alchemy and Treacherous
During the surprise songs, Swift gave Kelsey

43
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.479
a subtle shout out, asking the
audience, did you know this is our

44
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.360

48
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.280

announce the first group of opening acts
I'll be adding to the London shows going

50
00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.360
on before Paramore. I chose artists
whose music I love listening to and I

51
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.159
can't wait for them to add an
extra jolt of excitement to our shows.

52
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:10.680

61
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:54.439
jeans? Jason chimed in, reposting

62
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.319

00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.120
Kentucky Blod. Donors giving blood this

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.000
to win two tickets to Swift's final

65
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.519

Visa gift card for travel. According to

66
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.000

of External Relations at KBC said,
showing our appreciation of donors is always at

69
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.319
the top of our mind, so
we are particularly excited to give a local

70
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.879
life saver the opportunity of a lifetime
to see an icon at the pinnacle of

71
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:41.560
her career. It takes good fortune
to get your hands on tickets like these,

72
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.720
but it only takes forty five minutes
to save local lives and potentially go

73
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.680
to a concert on us. The
release notes that blood donations typically decline during

74
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:57.959
summer months. Stevie Nicks showed support
for Taylor Swift while performing at the Bottle

75
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.639
Rock Napa Valley Music Festival in kla
on May twenty fifth. The legendary singer

76
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:08.560
wore a gold bracelet that said TTPD, initials for the Tortured Poet's Department,

77
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:14.000
on her left wrist on stage.
Fans quickly noticed the bracelet from Taylor's TTPD

78
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:18.759
merch collection see even Legends Love Taylor, one fan posted on x after a

79
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.000
Swift fan account shared video of Nick's
wearing it. This means everything to me.

80
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.360
Another replied. The friendship between Nix
and Taylor is well known. Nix

81
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.839
wrote a poem for Swift's TTPD album
included handwritten in the CD and vinyl editions

82
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:39.399
with the dedication for t and Me. An excerpt reads, he was in

83
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.199
love with her, or at least
she thought so. She was broken hearted.

84
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.839
Maybe he was too. Neither of
them knew. She was way too

85
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.519
hot to handle. He was way
too high to try. He couldn't even

86
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:56.000
see her. Nix called this relationship
almost a tragedy, continuing he really can't

87
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.360
answer her. He's afraid of her, He's hiding from her, and he

88
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.639
knows that he's hurting her. The
two have been close for years, performing

89
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.720
together at the twenty ten Grammy Awards
and with Nick's praising Swift in a Time

90
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:21.040
profile that year, More Tailor in
a Moment. Finally, one talented Taylor

91
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:28.399
Swift fan stunned fellow Swifties by revealing
a handmade crocheted blanket inspired by the official

92
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.959
Aires tour poster. The creator shared
the impressive throw on TikTok, unrolling the

93
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.079
giant textile from above her head down
to the floor, recreating the original tour

94
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.480
poster design. The project took nearly
one hundred thousand stitches and over five hundred

95
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.360
hours across seven months to complete.
Fans marveled at the blanket's intricate details,

96
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.759
with comments like amazing, twelve out
of ten, no notes, unreal talent,

97
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:57.040
and this is wizardry as far as
I'm concerned. Some jokingly admitted this

98
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.279
is amazing and I am afraid of
you, referencing the videos Who's Afraid of

99
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:07.920
Little Old Me soundtrack. Though the
creator Jen revealed the blanket just as Swift

100
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.040
debuted an updated tour poster featuring her
new album, The Tortured Poets Department,

101
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:20.439
she wasn't concerned, preferring the original
design between Time Sanity and Kiro appointments plus

102
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.560
materials. Another one would cost over
twelve thousand, five hundred dollars to make,

103
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.160
but she did release an updated pattern
for other crocheers. In chart news,

104
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.720
Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department marked
its fifth consecutive week atop the Billboard

105
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.799
two hundred Albums chart. TTPD is
the first album to spend its first five

106
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.799
weeks at number one since Morgan Wallin's
One Thing at a Time held the spot

107
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.399
for twelve straight weeks after its March
twenty twenty three release. Swift dropped the

108
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.440
acclaimed double album on April nineteenth,
and has added several tracks to the setlist

109
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.159
of her aristour European leg. Fan
footage from the Lisbon shows captured her performing

110
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.919
a medley featuring the title track live
for the first time. Close behind in

111
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.879
second place, Billie Eilish's new album
hit Me Hard and Soft garnered three hundred

112
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.759
thirty nine thousand equivalent album units,
marking the twenty year old singer's biggest career

113
