As Joe Biden's poll numbers flag ahead of next year's election, it might seem obvious for the president to look to the pop-star billionaire who endorsed him in 2020, and whose every move is endlessly catalogued by US media.

It's a fact his campaign knows all too well.

"Please do not tell us that we need a Taylor Swift strategy. We are tracking," quipped a recent communications job advertisement for his 2024 reelection bid.

And yet, in the highly polarized US political and media landscape, everything the superstar singer does or doesn't do is likely to invite a simultaneous deluge of praise and a firestorm of fierce criticism.

Swift, recently named Time magazine's Person of the Year, is viewed favourably by 70 percent of Americans -- the sort of numbers that any president would kill for.

Perhaps none more than Biden, whose approval ratings recently dipped to 39 percent -- the lowest of any recent US leader at this point in their presidency, according to polling firm Gallup, and also the fifth time his ratings fell below 40 percent in this year alone.

Swift's 2020 endorsement of Biden, and her knack for using nonpartisan campaigns to register her "Swiftie" superfans to vote, doesn't mean that politics comes without scrutiny for the superstar.

- Polarized political era -

As America has descended into hyperpartisanship, the "You Belong With Me" singer's previously apolitical stance increasingly came under fire -- no matter if the frenzy was fed mostly by rumor and on social media.

At the same time, staying silent during the 2016 election bothered Swift personally, she would later say.

"These aren't your dad's Republicans," she says in a 2020 documentary, as members of her team press her to stay out of politics ahead of the 2018 election, warning it could "halve the number of people that come to your next tour."

Nevertheless, she came out of the woods to endorse the Democratic Senate candidate in the state of Tennessee, where the Donald Trump-endorsed Republican ended up winning.

As the country's division under the Trump presidency continued to pose a challenge to her -- and other celebrities' -- carefully curated, mass-appealing images, she endorsed Biden, castigating Trump for "stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism."

The key difference between then and now, perhaps, is just how much Swift -- already a megastar -- has seen her stature grow as she breaks music records, graces magazine covers and sees the press follow every detail of her increasingly public personal life.

- Swifties as a voting bloc? -

Her fans are mostly young women who have come of age in America's hyperpolarized political era -- and make up a key Democratic voting bloc.

But Biden's numbers have dipped among the country's youth, especially as his administration has staunchly backed Israel in its war against Hamas.

Swift, meanwhile, recently attended a fundraiser for aid for Palestinians, 20,000 of whom have died amid the conflict in Gaza begun when Hamas militants broke through the territory's border and killed 1,140 people.

According to a recent Harvard poll, the percentage of Americans aged 18-29 who "definitely" plan on voting for president has decreased from 57 percent to 49 percent, compared to those surveyed at this time in 2020.

This is where Swift might have an impact.&nbsp;

"I don't think the way these work is that when people see, oh, Taylor Swift endorsed Joe Biden, and they say, 'Well, that's who I'm going to vote for,'" Matthew Harris, a political science professor at Park University, told AFP.&nbsp;

"It's more along the lines of her ability to mobilize people, to encourage people to register to vote," he added, noting that "these are people who may already be predisposed, or likely to vote, for Joe Biden."&nbsp;

And in a tight election, as many predict 2024 will be, "those suburban areas... are really kind of the swing areas of American politics."

The often tight-lipped Swift has already quietly given a nod toward Biden's 2024 run, approving her song "Only The Young" to be used in a pro-Biden ad in October.

There's clearly no bad blood between Swift and Biden, but the president's entreaties to US youth might go over better if he could remember the name of America's most popular musical artist.

The 81-year-old last month mixed up Swift with pop star of yore Britney Spears. Such a gaffe could perhaps make him relatable to the average Swiftie's parents -- and after all, they vote, too.

Swifties to the polls? Why eyes are on Taylor ahead of 2024

Travis Kelce, the renowned tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has officially confirmed that he extended a heartfelt invitation to global music icon Taylor Swift. This revelation has set tongues wagging and hearts aflutter among fans and observers alike, particularly given the secrecy surrounding their burgeoning connection.

The momentous confirmation came during Kelce's appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, where he openly discussed his desire for Taylor Swift to grace one of his games with her presence. He recounted the message he conveyed to Swift, stating, "I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead; you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead." This audacious move by Kelce has not only added a layer of excitement among his fans but has also ignited a storm of curiosity within the Swiftie community.

What's even more interesting is Kelce's reaction to the overwhelming publicity that has enveloped their potential relationship. The 33-year-old NFL star expressed his surprise at the immense traction the news had garnered, likening it to the childhood game of 'Telephone.' He noted how information seemed to spread rapidly, with whispers and speculations taking centre stage&nbsp;in the media.

Kelce had previously acknowledged his attempt to shoot his shot at Swift by gifting her an Eras Tour friendship bracelet. While he stood firmly by his words, he drew the line at divulging further details about their connection, emphasising his preference for maintaining the sanctity of his personal life.&nbsp;

During an interview with NFL+ host Andrew Siciliano, Kelce playfully teased listeners, offering the tantalising prospect of revealing more information, only to deftly sidestep the inquiries and maintain his silence. When questioned about whether Taylor Swift had responded to his invitation, Kelce delivered a cryptic "And that's gonna wrap it up here," effectively closing the door on further discussion.

Travis Kelce reveals he extended an invite to Taylor Swift for a football game

Taylor Swift fans are always on high alert for any sign of her personal life intertwining with that of another celebrity. Known for her heartfelt lyrics and relatable storytelling, Swift has had her fair share of high-profile romances and breakups, all of which have become the subject of much fascination among her dedicated fan base.

One of the most recent names to enter the Taylor Swift romance rumour mill is NFL star Kelce. Their supposed connection has Swifties buzzing with excitement and anticipation. While both Swift and Kelce have kept mum about the nature of their relationship, fans are not known for letting details slip by unnoticed.

When it comes to Swift, fans are particularly attentive to her jewellery choices. So, when she was spotted wearing an opal necklace during an outing in New York, the Swiftie community quickly went into detective mode. Opal, as it happens, is the birthstone for October, and, conveniently, Kelce celebrates his birthday on October 5. The correlation might be too far-fetched for most, but not for Swifties. For them, it was too intriguing to ignore.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/explore-taylor-swifts-love-story-with-costumes-598446/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

The opal necklace in question is Foundrae's Forever &amp; Always a Pair Pendant, symbolising love and meaningful connections. Some fans couldn't help but ponder if this could be a subtle hint from Swift herself. Did she deliberately choose this piece of jewellery to fuel the rumours or was it merely a coincidence?

Reports&nbsp;suggest that Swift and Kelce have been spending time together discreetly in New York City, which has only added more fuel to the dating rumours. Insiders close to the pair have hinted that, while they might not be officially an item, there is definitely something special between them. Kelce's endearing qualities, described as being down-to-earth, charismatic, and humorous, have endeared him to Swift's fan base.

This budding romance (or friendship) has even infiltrated the world of NFL commentary. During a game where Kelce scored a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars, announcers couldn't resist making playful references to Swift's songs, much to the delight of fans and viewers. NFL Network's Rich Eisen joined in on the fun, incorporating Swift's song titles into his commentary.

Swifties continue to closely monitor every move, outfit, and comment, eagerly awaiting any sign that might shed light on this intriguing chapter in Swift's love life.

Is Taylor Swift dating NFL star Travis Kelce? Singer's new necklace sparks rumours

Taylor Swift kicked off Pride Month with a moving speech! The songstress is currently travelling across the US for her Eras Tour, and recently, during her gig in Chicago, Swift delivered a heartwarming speech for her LGBTQ+ fans.&nbsp; 
 
Giving a shoutout to the LGBTQIA+ community, the 33-year-old singer said, "They are loving who they want to love, they are identifying how they identify, and allies who get to support them in that and celebrate them in that.'' 
 
"This is a safe space for you. This is a celebratory space for you. And one of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you, and watching you interact with each other, and being so loving, and so thoughtful, and so caring."

Addressing the challenges faced by the community, she said, “We can’t talk about pride without talking about pain.”

Taylor Swift kicks off Pride month with moving speech, ‘This is a safe space for you’

It appears the fans of popular singer-songwriter Taylor Swift who are attending her concerts are suffering from what they call "post-concert amnesia", reported the BBC. Many fans, who refer to themselves as 'Swifties', are taking to social media to express their frustration at not being able to remember crucial moments from Swift's ongoing Eras tour. Psychologists suggest that emotions and the passage of time might be responsible for this phenomenon, as per the publication.

Amnesia involves the loss of memories, experiences, and information. However, according to Dr. Michelle Phillips, a senior lecturer in music psychology from the Royal Northern College of Music, the concept of post-concert amnesia is not as alarming as it seems.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/explore-taylor-swifts-love-story-with-costumes-598446/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<h2>Post-concert amnesia is not serious?</h2>

Phillips said that in fact it's likely to be one of the things they remember attending for the rest of their lives.

"It's simply that they encode some aspects of the event in memory, and not others."

<h2>Can the memories of the concert resurface?</h2>

Dr. Helen Prior, a senior lecturer at the University of Hull, is intrigued by the possibility that forgotten memories and emotions from Taylor Swift's concert may resurface when fans listen to her songs later on.

Music possesses a unique ability to transport us back to specific and important moments in our lives.

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/how-big-a-fan-are-you-of-taylor-swift-597300/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<h2>What is Taylor Swift's Eras tour?</h2>

The Eras Tour is Taylor Swift's ongoing sixth headlining concert tour. It is a tribute to the evolution of her music. Described by Swift herself as a voyage through all of her "musical eras," the tour showcases her entire discography, including her latest album, Midnights (2022), as well as albums that did not have corresponding tours due to the COVID-19 pandemic: Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), and Evermore (2020). Following her successful 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, the Eras Tour marks Swift's second all-stadium tour.

The demand for Eras Tour tickets has been unprecedented, with a staggering 3.5 million people registering for Ticketmaster's pre-sale programme for the US leg. The overwhelming response caused the Ticketmaster website to crash immediately after the pre-sale began on November 15, 2022.

Having kicking off on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, the US leg of the Eras Tour is scheduled to conclude on August 9, 2023, in Inglewood, California.&nbsp;

Post-concert amnesia is not serious? Phillips said that in fact it's likely to be one of the things they remember attending for the rest of their lives. "It's simply that they encode some aspects of the event in memory, and not others." Can the memories of the concert resurface? Dr. Helen Prior, a senior lecturer at the University of Hull, is intrigued by the possibility that forgotten memories and emotions from Taylor Swift's concert may resurface when fans listen to her songs later on. Music possesses a unique ability to transport us back to specific and important moments in our lives. What is Taylor Swift's Eras tour? The Eras Tour is Taylor Swift's ongoing sixth headlining concert tour. It is a tribute to the evolution of her music. Described by Swift herself as a voyage through all of her "musical eras," the tour showcases her entire discography, including her latest album, Midnights (2022), as well as albums that did not have corresponding tours due to the COVID-19 pandemic: Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), and Evermore (2020). Following her successful 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, the Eras Tour marks Swift's second all-stadium tour. The demand for Eras Tour tickets has been unprecedented, with a staggering 3.5 million people registering for Ticketmaster's pre-sale programme for the US leg. The overwhelming response caused the Ticketmaster website to crash immediately after the pre-sale began on November 15, 2022. Having kicking off on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, the US leg of the Eras Tour is scheduled to conclude on August 9, 2023, in Inglewood, California.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour attendees experience 'post-concert amnesia'; psychologists weigh in

You’d know it’s a Taylor Swift concert when a website selling tickets to one crashes on the first day. Millions of Swifties (as Taylor Swift fans call themselves) landed on Live Nation’s Ticketmaster website to book seats for her first tour in five years. It caused a massive outage and the website crashed. But before that, ticket prices skyrocketed as the demand for them rose.

So much so, the tickets started costing between $49 and $449 each. This was the website’s response to the “historically unprecedented demand” for Swift’s 52-date United States tour.

While presale tickets were initially only open to Taylor Swift fans selected as “verified fans” – a system set up to deter bots – some tickets were already being listed on resale sites such as StubHub for as much as US$22,700 each.

Also, many people had to wait in online queues for up to eight hours, and many found they were too late to purchase tickets.&nbsp;

The Eras tour will be Taylor Swift’s first tour since 2018.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift released her latest album, ‘Midnights’, in October.&nbsp;
