The Life of a Showgirl singer opened up about fans ‘ “actual amnesia” experiences on the Eras Tour ahead of the release of her new album

Taylor Swift has opened up about the “actual amnesia” fans experienced after attending her mega stadium shows during the Eras Tour. The singer addressed the phenemonenon with her husband to be Travis Kelce ahead of the release of her 12th album The Life of a Showgirl.

Ahead of her latest reinvention, Taylor reflected on her multi-year record-breaking Eras Tour.

After hearing some fans claim they ‘couldn’t remember a thing’ following her show, the Fate of Ophelia singer seemed happy that she was able to generate such a “genuine” response.

“I think we did it. Nailed it. That’s genuine. I wasn’t even shooting for that goal when they’re like, ‘ I saw so many things and I experienced a state of euphoria that I now don’t remember what happened to me. ‘ I was like, oh my god”, Taylor said.

She added that she made the tour so high intensity for younger fans. “I wanted to show fans and especially younger fans, visuals and performance art that was important to me as a kid and inspired me to want to do this]be a singer]”.

Taylor said: “So wanted elements of musical theatre, Broadway, ballet, things you would see in an opera”. To which her fiance Travis responded: “Who thinks like this”?

His brother Jason Kelce added: “I just watched the whole tour. I thought it was amazing but I didn’t know all of this”. Taylor stated that she wanted the experience of “scrolling through an algorithm.”

“I wanted it to be references that I believed would be high concept, high value, and performed simultaneously.” However, I wanted to use rapid fire, the highest level of intensity.

Every 15 to 30 seconds, you’re seeing something new, and it feels like you’re scrolling through an algorithm. And so I thought, “Oh, I think we did it,” when I heard reports of people complaining about getting actual amnesia after the performances. “

Some Swifties who went on the Eras Tour claimed to be having “post-concert amnesia,” in which they struggled to recall specific show details. It is most likely caused by rapid sensory overload and intense emotional responses.

Edinburgh derby, Motherwell’s Watt & Martin in spotlight again

When the season is this stop-start, it’s difficult to gather momentum. Next week, there will be a second international window, with another coming in November.

Top-flight teams will be eager to enter the most recent break on high following yet another miserable midweek of European football for our clubs.

Hearts vs. Hibernian on Saturday, 17:45 BST.

JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.

Hearts will be hoping to increase their lead to five points when Edinburgh’s top two teams meet on Saturday. Even for a night, really.

Hibs will make the trip across the capital with the intention of taking Leith Walk for the first time in over 100 years.

Robbie Neilson, the former Jambos manager, is correct to predict “a real barnstormer” between two unbeaten league rivals.

The maroon side’s record this term compares favorably to Hibs’, who has won and drawn five games, but the green and white have only recently improved.

Hibs won the derby twice last season, including the Boxing Day meeting in Gorgie, and won the other one.

However, this term has a significant difference. In the dugout at home, Derek McInnes.

Since taking over in the summer, the Hearts head coach has a two-point lead over reigning champions Celtic, who won’t play until Sunday. He has yet to lose in 90 minutes.

Although this will be his first derby experience, he has had previous victories at St. Johnstone, Aberdeen, and Kilmarnock.

Gray made it back from a poor start to clinch third place after losing the derby in his debut campaign.

Watch out for Elliot Watt (Motherwell) as a player.

Elliot Watt was at the forefront of Motherwell’s first league victory against Aberdeen last weekend.

The midfielder hosted the Saturday night show but was neither on the scoresheet nor the assist producer.

Jens Berthel Askou’s side were forced to sit back, suck up pressure, and hurry away on the break when the Dons burst out the blocks and appeared rejuvenated by their switch in system in the first half.

Watt was on hand to control the Steelmen’s movement, change the starting play, and pull the strings. He did it with a dash of energy and elegance.

He made the most entries into the final third (22) and sprayed the most claret and amber passes (110), with Opta deeming 102 of them to be accurate.

If Motherwell want to win at Celtic Park on Sunday with a positive result, they will need to do so.

Russell Martin (Rangers) in the spotlight as manager

For the manager who is subject to the most weekly scrutiny, it feels like a roulette match between Rangers’ Russell Martin and Aberdeen’s Jimmy Thelin.

The Swede’s performance improved against Motherwell, where they lost the game in stoppage-time, and a valiant effort in Europe against Shakhtar Donetsk has lowered the profile.

A lacklustre Europa League defeat to Sturm Graz may have increased the glare even more, as a result of Livingston’s unconvincing first league win of the year.

The Ibrox side conceded two awful first-half goals in Austria, despite the head coach claiming it was due to team mentality rather than tactics.

Things could get ugly if they don’t have the right mindset for Falkirk on Sunday.

Rangers will travel to one of the newly promoted Premiership teams for the second consecutive weekend. And in John McGlynn, Martin squares off against a cunning operator who enjoys playing anywhere he’s been, regardless of his level.

‘On our own territory’: Colombia’s last nomadic tribe fights to return home

By in News, World News

returning to my home

The FCDS claims that about 70% of the Nukak population has been driven from their ancestral homelands.

Most families were forced to lead sedentary lifestyles, settling in dormant camps near towns, where child sex abuse and addiction became commonplace.

Others have settled on small plots in rural areas where land disputes between settlers and residents erupted.

The land was taken over as if it were vacant by the colonists. They claim there were no Nukak, but Njibe claimed that the Nukak became ill and left.

The Colombian government is not very active in the Nukak reservation’s most remote areas of the Amazon.

Therefore, when the Nukak attempt to reclaim their lands, they have few legal protections from settler violence.

However, in recent years, Nukak members like Njibe have decided to leave their homes after getting tired of waiting for government intervention.

In 2020, several clans retreated into the jungle out of fear of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The clans, however, considered staying for the duration after returning to their relative isolation. They requested assistance from non-governmental organizations like FCDS.

Njibe was residing within the Nukak Maku reservation at the time.

Large tracts of the forest had been wiped out even within the reservation after decades of colonization. The tallest palm trees in the Amazon had fallen to grassy pastures full of cows.

Following a government-FARC peace agreement in 2016, deforestation had increased. The rebel group had previously restricted Amazon forest degradation to protect itself from airstrikes.

However, the largest armed rebel group at the time, the FARC, agreed to demobilize as part of the deal. Its replacement was left with a power vacuum.

The FARC claimed that powerful landowners converted the land into cattle pastures as they quickly moved into the areas where they once held cattle.

Armed dissident organizations that disagreed with the peace deal continued to operate in the area, charging extortion rates per cow.

A FCDS expert who declined to be identified for fear of reprisal claimed that “the colonization process has caused many]Nukak] sites to be destroyed or absorbed by settler farms.

The FCDS continued to advance with a pilot program to assist seven Nukak communities as they settled deeper into the reservation, where the lush forest was still present, in 2022. The Nukak were hoping to bring back a more traditional, if not entirely nomadic, way of life.

However, many attempts to find permanent relocation locations were unsuccessful.

Njibe initially planned to relocate to a sacred lake inside the reservation, which he had recalled from childhood, but when he arrived, it turned out to be a ranch.

Njibe was forced to choose another place to live when the settler who owned the ranch requested permission to stay there.

He considered moving back to a forested area that he thought his childhood home was, which is roughly 24 hectares (59 acres) wide and the size of 33 football fields.
