Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated new album, The Life of a Showgirl, drops in a matter of hours and fans are eager to decode the theme behind the project. The 12-track album features the lead single ‘Ophelia’s fate’ and a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, ‘The Life of a Showgirl’.

Following a successful Eras Tour and last year’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, as well as a very public relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, the Swifties – Taylor’s fans – have been on the hunt for Life of a Showgirl easter eggs, as theories about what the songs could be about have been going viral.

Many people were spooked by a surprising theory from Taylor’s most recent performance in Cardiff. Swift’s Eras tour’s only one-time stop was where fans began compiling clues, such as her debuting a green and orange skirt and top.

Fans were so moved by Taylor’s orange dress that it made a point that both outfits appeared to be in line with “The Life Of A Showgirl’s” color scheme later on in the acoustic set.

To add even more mystery, BBC Wales shared the possibility of a link between Cardiff Bay and the new album. The first easter egg was a photo of the singer posing in the cleaning cart she used to enter the concert venue. Later that year, touring in Vancouver, Canada, Taylor posed in the same cleaning cart in front of a painting of Cardiff Bay by Rachel Rasmussen.

She must really like Wales, a devoted Swiftie fan said, “For ages, we thought the Cardiff Bay pictures were so random. Only now do we realize that the Cardiff performance was conceivably an Easter egg.

Other fans took to social media to share their thoughts. A fan joked on X: “The key to being a swiftie is to have a friend who’s a bigger Swiftie than you are. So you can have your insane theories and obsess over the albums and easter eggs but you’re not known as “that girl who is obsessed with Taylor Swift.”

JoJo Siwa showed she’s not to be messed with as she got a fan thrown out of her concert for a cruel comment. The 22-year-old singer is currently midway through her European tour but halted a show after being targeted by an audience member.

She appeared furious while on stage and quickly pointed out a fan who she said was “making fun of her”. Before continuing the set, JoJo, who is dating Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes, pointed out the supposed trouble maker and got them evicted from the building.

In a video shared online, a fan was spotted wearing a hoodie with JoJo’s face on the front shaped like an egg. In 2022, JoJo revealed how she had been left with a bald spot caused by the ‘stress’ of filming reality show Dance Moms as a child.

At the time, she explained how people on social media began making cruel memes about her hairline. And after spotting the hoodie in the recent concert, she slammed: “The hoodie making fun of me? No way! Appreciate it! But we only got room for infinity hearts in here, right?

‘Not in my house, baby. We got no room for that. We got no room for that!”

As the crowd cheered, the concertgoer was then escorted. It’s claimed there weren’t aware of the memes.

Earlier in the tour, fans kicked off with how JoJo had responded to talk about her boyfriend. She had issued a passionate plea to her audience during the opening leg of her European Infinity Heart Tour in Dublin on Monday.

In a TikTok clip posted by a fan following the show, she can be heard declaring: “I know we all love Chris Hughes, but he’s my boyfriend, and I want him to watch my show. If he turns around to take another selfie, I’m gonna have to restart. Don’t do that. Deal?

“You can take a picture from afar. You can video him watching, but let the guy watch, please. Promise? Love you.”

Some fans didn’t agree with how she handled the situation. One online user said: “JoJo Siwa is mad that her boyfriend Chris Hughes is not paying attention during her show in Dublin, Ireland!”

Another added: “She is big mad,” alongside a string of crying with laughter emojis, while a third said: “Tell me you’re insecure without telling me, calling out her fans for requesting too many selfies with Chris Hughes.”

Chris and JoJo are moving fast following their pairing on Celebrity Big Brother. In a recent conversation on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast last month, JoJo gushed: “I’m happy.

“I’ve never wanted the future so bad. I’ve never, ever wanted the love that I have to just continue to grow. I’ve never protected a love that I have so much. I’ve never cared about another person so much.

“I’ve never craved a wedding. I’ve always wanted to just like go sign a piece of paper or go to Vegas ’cause I didn’t wanna have a wedding but now I’m like, ‘No, I want a ring and I want my Dad to walk me down the aisle and I wanna first dance and I want butterflies’… I’m happy.”

Perrie Edwards, the former Little Mix star, blasted Jesy Nelson as she admitted to having a disagreement with her ex-bandmate and friend.

Perrie Edwards subtly hit out at former pal and bandmate Jesy Nelson during a chat with Mollie King. The pregnant popstar, 32, was talking to the radio presenter on her Future Pop show when they began discussing Katseye’s tune Gabriela.

Perrie admitted she is “obsessed” with the song before dropping the bombshell it could have been her singing it. The northeast songstress revealed the Little Mix group were offered the song first but couldn’t all agree that it was one for them.

However, Perrie made it clear that Jesy’s choice was the one that put the blockers on it in a sarcastic and sarcastic response. An excited Perrie responded, “Yeah! When Mollie asked if they should play the tune. You’re aware that a Little Mix song was intended to be that, don’t you?

Before Perrie continued, “I know and I was obsessed with it and used to listen to it in the car constantly like the demo,” the gobsmacked presenter replied, “You’re joking.” I adored it.

Perrie agreed and admitted that all but one wanted to record it, and Mollie said it would have been “so good” as a band song.

“You missed it,” you say? ollie posed a question. And Perrie said, “Yeah, well one of us did,” in a sarcastic and stuttering manner. Before letting out a cheer, she continued on, “Not me, not Jade, not Leigh-Anne.”

“But, yeah. I adored it so much even though it passed. But do you know what? I believe they killed it, made it their own, and the choreography perfectly complements it.

So I’m like, “Do you know what girls? ” You won the game! We loved that song so much, so I’m glad they got it.

After her debut solo album was released, Perrie made a confession at a concert that made her cry. She introduced a song that was said to be about her friendship with Jesy at the time.

She described the difficulties she encountered in adjusting to losing a friend at the concert. She stated to the audience at her performance at Circuit in Kingston on Saturday night, “I wrote this next song because I think we frequently discuss heartbreak in music, in songs, and in life, and it’s always romantically.”

It’s f***ing hard because we seem to forget things like losing a friend, falling out with a friend, or not having them anymore. And how do I get past a life where a person has seen me cry, they have seen my demons, they have seen everything, and then they have gone”?

She continued, “It’s like it’s okay.” I believe I had a real difficulty navigating it.

The welcoming crowd was then told, “Okay, wait! Don’t cry because it will make my vocal chords sound bad and my voice won’t sound good. Same Place Different View, a song by Perrie, was introduced.

“So, I’m like, do you know what girls? You killed it! I’m actually glad they got it, but we loved that song so much.”

Perrie’s confession comes after she got emotional at a gig following the release of her debut solo album. The moment came as she introduced a song said to be about her friendship with Jesy.

She spoke up about the struggle she faced trying to navigate losing a friend at the concert. As she performed at Circuit in Kingston on Saturday night she told the audience: “I wrote this next song because I feel like we talk about heartbreak a lot in music, in songs and life, and it’s always romantically.

“And we seem to forget like losing a friend or falling out with a friend or not having them in your life anymore, it’s f***ing hard! And it’s like how do I navigate a life where that person’s been there for years, they’ve seen me cry, they’ve seen my absolute demons, they’ve seen everything, and then poof they’re gone?”

She went on: “It’s like ‘okay’. So I think I really struggled to navigate it.”

She then told the supportive crowd: “Okay, wait! Don’t make me cry because then my vocal chords are gonna go funny and then I’m not gonna sound good.” Perrie introduced the song titled Same Place Different View.

Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has opened up about the last time she was brought to tears as she confessed to causing an awkward family moment

Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm favourite Amanda Owen has offered a candid insight into her family life, revealing an awkward blunder that reduced her to “tears”.

Speaking on the Walking the Dog with Emily Dean podcast recently, the presenter questioned Amanda about whether there are occasions when she finds it difficult to suppress her emotions.

The 51-year-old responded frankly, revealing that her most recent bout of “tears” actually came from fits of giggles following a mortifying mix-up at a family celebration: “When did I last cry? I can’t (remember) I probably cry with laughter actually.

” It was probably sometime around about Violet’s birthday, when I got her a birthday card that said, ‘ Happy Birthday, now you’re a teenager’. And she (Violet) said, ‘ that was last year’. “

However, beyond her rather amusing family episode with daughter Violet, Amanda also reflected on the darker periods she has endured in her personal life.

She recalled when her father tragically died when she was just 18-years-old and how it helped her understand that she” wished I’d listened more to what people had to say”.

Amanda and her brood initially appeared on television in 2011 through ITV’s documentary programme, The Dales.

The series featured the shepherdess alongside her family of five youngsters, at the time, and ex-spouse Clive, documenting their experiences managing a farm in the Yorkshire Dales.

While they had a number of other roles, it was in 2018 that the family catapulted to stardom with their own series, Our Yorkshire Farm, on Channel 5.

Over a period of four years, the programme became one of the channel’s most-watched, showcasing Amanda and Clive’s attempts to balance raising their nine children while managing their 2, 000-acre sheep farm.

Despite the show wrapping up in 2021, the family’s brief absence from our telly screens ended last year when their new programme, Our Farm Next Door, started airing last October.
