Taylor Swift pretended to throw a football during Eras Tour night 1 in New Orleans

Taylor Swift putting good vibes into the stadium where Travis Kelce and the Chiefs hope to three-peat as Super Bowl champs.

Taylor Swift performed her first of three shows at the Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans on Friday night. In February, the Super Bowl will take place in the same spot, with Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce hoping to be there to help the Kansas City Chiefs three-peat as champions.

The 14-time Grammy winner potentially gave a nod to that fact during her Eras Tour performance the first night in the Big Easy. During the final era of her set — Midnights — Swift paused and mimicked throwing a football.

While Kelce would much more likely be on the receiving end than the passing end of a football, it still felt fitting for the location.

Swift has two more shows in New Orleans before heading to Indianapolis to close out the dates in the United States.

Taylor Swift’s surprise songs from Night 1 of the Eras Tour in New Orleans, including another debut and Reputation mashup

The Eras Tour is back underway, so it’s time for surprise songs once again.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continued its journey on Friday night in New Orleans with the first of three total shows in Louisiana. The now 14-time Grammy winner will be touring almost non-stop for the entire year, and at each show she adds two “surprise songs” to her 44-song, three hour plus set list.

For her first night in New Orleans, Swift — who once again went with a new dress for the surprise song section — continued with the double mashups she loves so much. On guitar, she went with a combination of “Our Song” from Taylor Swift and “Call It What You Want” from Reputation. On piano, Swift went with a mashup of “The Black Dog” from The Tortured Poets Department and “Haunted” from Speak Now. 

Next up, Swift will play two more nights New Orleans.

NY Liberty and Megan Thee Stallion made an awesome TikTok dance video during Tonight Show appearance

The Liberty had a BLAST with Meg.

The New York Liberty are on a fantastic media victory tour after winning its first franchise title, and nothing would stop the team from crashing The Tonight Show and dancing with Megan Thee Stallion to celebrate even more.

In case you missed it, the Liberty have been on a sweet press run this week. There’s no chance that anybody slept before appearing on Good Morning America to talk to Liberty fan and longtime anchor Robin Roberts. Then, the team headed to the New York Stock Exchange to ring the bell, signaling that the day was open for trading.

They also crashed The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday. They stuck around to take a selfie with the audience, which looked terrific. Here’s a video of that moment: 

As if that wasn’t enough, Megan Thee Stallion was also a guest on the show the same day, and they found time to chop it up with her.

The Liberty gifted Meg a jersey, took photos and made a dope video doing her viral TikTok Mamushi Dance. (Warning: NSFW language)

The 10 best ‘in da clurb, we all fam’ TikTok memes, including Kamala Harris and Sabrina Carpenter

Oh, these are good.

The audio from a Comedy Central show has taken over TikTok, and it’s so good because “in da clurb, we all fam.”

A small clip on TikTok going viral is nothing new. It happens all the time. People get a hold of it, and it catches on — quickly. And one of the best TikTok trends this year actually came from an old episode of a Comedy Central show named Broad City.

In the scene, some friends are in a nightclub when one of them waves to another group, sparking a conversation about whether or not they know the folks they just waved to. The hilarious interaction is now a meme on TikTok.

As you can see, the scene is incredibly awkward from start to finish. But it’s taken on a whole new life with tremendous results.

Here are 10 of the best TikTok videos using the meme, including Kamala Harris and Sabrina Carpenter:

Severance’s new season 2 trailer shows off a terrifying twist to the office

Something is definitely amiss in the office in Severance season 2.

Fans of Apple TV+ hit show Severance won’t have too much longer to wait until the highly-anticipated season two hits the streaming service.

On Wednesday, Apple TV+ released the official teaser trailer for Severance season two — which is set to release on January 17, 2025 — and it shows off a terrifying change to Lumon Industries. At the end of season one, Adam Scott’s Mark Scout learned the fate of his wife before things went south and the Lumon Industries’ employees freedom was tragically snatched away from them.

And now, it seems like things are really amiss at the office, as at the end of this new trailer, Mark is shown to have three new coworkers, replacing the trio of Dylan, Helly and Irving — played by Zach Cherry, Britt Lower and John Turturro, respectively.

We can’t wait to see how this all resolves when season two drops in just a few months!

Taylor Swift shouted out Travis Kelce and the 6-0 Chiefs with Karma lyric at Miami Eras Tour

It was the first time for the change without Kelce in attendance.

Taylor Swift wrapped up three nights at Hard Rock Stadium with her final Miami Eras Tour show on Sunday night. The shows were once again hugely popular, with celebrities like Serena Williams, Paul Mescal and Ashley Tisdale taking in the concert one of the three nights.

Due to his practice and game schedule with the Chiefs, Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce wasn’t able to attend any of the shows in Miami, and the 14-time Grammy winner was unable to go to the Kansas City game against San Francisco on Sunday.

MORE: Photos from Eras Tour Miami!

Kelce was not far from everyone’s minds over the three-day stint in Miami as big brother Jason, sister-in-law Kylie and mom Donna went to Friday night’s show, and Swift made her own nod to the tight end on Sunday.

For the first time since the duo started dating, Swift changed the lyrics to her last song of the night to “karma is the guy on the Chiefs” with Kelce not in attendance. Previously, she had reserved the swap for when he was in the crowd, but Sunday night felt appropriate as Kansas City improved to 6-0.

Before the show started Sunday night, Swift even had the Chiefs-49ers game playing throughout the stadium.

Taylor Swift’s surprise songs from Night 3 of the Eras Tour in Miami, including a 1989 double mashup

The Eras Tour is back underway, so it’s time for surprise songs once again.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continued its journey on Sunday night in Miami with the third of three total shows in Florida. The now 14-time Grammy winner will be touring almost non-stop for the entire year, and at each show she adds two “surprise songs” to her 44-song, three hour plus set list.

MORE: Taylor Swift wore a new Reputation bodysuit for the first time on the Eras Tour for Night 1 in Miami

For her final night in Miami, Swift once again donned a new dress — this one pink and orange — and went with the double mashups she loves so much. On guitar, she went with a combination of “Out Of The Woods” and “All You Had To Do Was Stay” from 1989. On piano, Swift went with a mashup of “Mirrorball” from Folklore and “Guilty As Sin” from The Tortured Poets Department. 

Next up, Swift heads to New Orleans for three shows starting October 25.

SNL cold open featured Alec Baldwin as Bret Baier spoofing the Kamala Harris Fox News interview

Baldwin made his return to SNL.

The 2024 presidential election is just over two weeks away, and Saturday Night Live is thriving with all of the political content to parody. This weekend, the show was hosted by actor Michael Keaton, and the opening skit featured a play on the recent interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and Bret Baier on Fox News.

Actor Alec Baldwin, who starred in the original Beetlejuice with Keaton in 1988, made his return to SNL to play Baier. In the skit, Baldwin’s Baier repeatedly interrupts VP Harris — played by Maya Rudolph once again — and accused her of looking for a “viral moment.”

After denying that, Rudolph’s Harris looked into the camera a couple times, imitating viral TikTok trends like using the “very demure, very mindful” phrase and the recent popular audio “in the clerb, we all fam.”

The skit continues with a portion on showing the wrong clips and a discussion on former president Trump’s recent troubles with stranded rally goers.

Taylor Swift’s surprise songs from Night 2 of the Eras Tour in Miami, including a debut and Reputation mashup

The Eras Tour is back underway, so it’s time for surprise songs once again.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continued its journey on Saturday night in Miami with the second of three total shows in Florida. The now 14-time Grammy winner will be touring almost non-stop for the entire year, and at each show she adds two “surprise songs” to her 44-song, three hour plus set list.

MORE: Taylor Swift wore a new Reputation bodysuit for the first time on the Eras Tour for Night 1 in Miami

For her second night in Miami, Swift once again donned a new dress — this one purple — and went with the double mashups she loves so much. On guitar, she went with a combination of “Should’ve Said No” from Taylor Swift with “I Did Something Bad” from Reputation. On piano, Swift went with a mashup of “loml” from The Tortured Poets Department and “White Horse” from Fearless. 

Next up, Swift has one more show in Miami to kick off the final leg of the Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift debuts new blue Speak Now dress on Night 2 of the Miami Eras tour

This is the fifth new outfit Swift has worn through two shows in Miami.

Taylor Swift was not done breaking out new outfits for her mega popular Eras Tour. On Friday night in Miami, Swift kicked off the final leg of the tour with four new outfits: A blue Fearless dress, a gold and black Reputation bodysuit, a multi-colored surprise songs dress and a light purple dress for Midnights.

On Saturday’s second show at Hard Rock Stadium, the 14-time Grammy winner emerged on stage for her Speak Now era in a brand-new and gorgeous blue ballgown.

With just 16 shows remaining after Saturday’s concert, expectations are high that Swift could announce her re-records of Taylor Swift or Reputation (or maybe both). The more new outfits, the more Swifties will theorize.
