Bonne nouvelle pour tous les Swifties : le concert monumental de la star américaine, The Eras Tour, sera disponible très bientôt en streaming. Des surprises sont même au programme.

Taylor Swift has taken a step back from politics since endorsing Democrats in 2018 and 2020. Could she come back into the fold for Biden?

After weeks of maddening speculation over whom Taylor Swift might support in the 2024 US presidential elections, the venerated pop star finally revealed her endorsement: the right to vote itself.

“Vote the people who most represent YOU into power,” Swift urged fans in an Instagram story amid Super Tuesday ’ s primary elections, perhaps the last chance to stop Donald Trump from once again seizing the Republican nomination for president.

​Universal’s decision to remove its artists from ​T​ikTok ​h​as destabilised both companies – and lays bare how record labels have become reliant on random virality

Earlier this month, the music industry was hit with its biggest shake-up in years when Universal Music Group announced that it would be pulling the entirety of its catalogue – which covers everyone from K-pop stars BTS to Taylor Swift and legacy acts such as Abba – from TikTok .

In an open letter, UMG said the decision was made in protest at the platform’s low compensation rates, lack of protections around AI deepfakes and low safety standards for TikTok users. Universal also alleged that TikTok tried to “intimidate” the label by “selectively removing the music of … our developing artists, while keeping on the platform our audience-driving global stars”. TikTok’s brief response decried UMG’s “false narrative and rhetoric”.

Taylor Swift is just one of countless victims of deepfake videos. Firms feeding off this abuse should pay for the harm they cause

Imagine finding that someone has taken a picture of you from the internet and superimposed it on a sexually explicit image available online. Or that a video appears showing you having sex with someone you have never met.

Imagine worrying that your children, partner, parents or colleagues might see this and believe it is really you. And that your frantic attempts to take it off social media keep failing, and the fake “you” keeps reappearing and multiplying. Imagine realising that these images could remain online for ever and discovering that no laws exist to prosecute the people who created it.

Kelsey has been a Taylor Swift fan since childhood. Last week in Melbourne was the 27-year-old’s first time seeing the singer play live. It was a huge moment. But now that it’s over Kelsey is “just plain sad”.

“I’ve been in post-Taylor Swift depression,” she says. “I’ve been trying to manage it … But my mind wanders back to the concert. And it just makes you feel a bit sad, because it’s like a dream that you don’t want to wake up from.”

The post will be one of five superfan adviser roles with experts also sought on Crocs, tufting, drag and emojis

The Victoria and Albert museum in London is seeking a British “Swiftie” to advise on the fan culture around Taylor Swift.

The position will be filled before Swift begins the European leg of her Eras tour in May. Beyond the three-hour performance put in by the 34-year-old pop star, the shows have become notable for fans swapping friendship bracelets (inspired by a lyric in her 2022 song You’re on Your Own, Kid), wearing Swift-themed costumes and painting homemade signs – artefacts the museum is said to be interested in.

The pop star was a focal point during the NFL’s biggest night, getting to enjoy a happy ending with her victorious boyfriend

Taylor Swift, firmly in her WAG era, ended weeks of speculation over her Super Bowl attendance on Sunday night. She successfully managed to jet from a Tokyo arena show to Las Vegas to watch her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, play in the Super Bowl.

In typical Swift style, the appearance was a tightly choreographed affair that reportedly involved two private jets (one on standby, just in case) to ensure that she arrived in Sin City in time. When Swift hit Allegiant Stadium, the entourage included Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Kelce’s sister-in-law Kylie.
