Former Taylor Swift dancer Charity Baroni discusses experience
Charity Baroni, a professional dancer and choreographer, has recently shared her experience of working with pop superstar Taylor Swift in a candid TikTok video. Baroni’s journey with Swift began in 2009, when she received an unexpected call from her best friend Liz, who was already a backup singer for Swift, asking if she wanted to join Swift's tour.
Baroni, unaware of Swift’s burgeoning career at the time, received a call from Swift’s manager on a Saturday and flew out the next day. She managed to book the job and learned all the dance routines in one night. Reflecting on the experience, Baroni said meeting and working with Swift had a profound impact on her life, describing Swift as an "incredible boss and friend."
In the comments section of another video, Baroni confirmed that her first project with Swift was the Fearless Tour, and she continued to dance for Swift on the Speak Now World Tour.
Swift is currently on the European leg of her Eras Tour, with her next stop in Lisbon, Portugal, this coming weekend.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour merchandise draws large crowds
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour continues to draw large crowds, as evidenced by a recent photo taken in Lisbon, Portugal, showing a long line of fans waiting to purchase merchandise outside the arena where she was performing.
The merchandise stand opened around midday, but fans had already formed a long queue prior to its opening. This demonstrates the dedication of Swift's fan base, known as Swifties, who are willing to wait in line to support their favorite singer and get their hands on official Swift swag.
The Eras Tour has been a significant economic contributor, not only in terms of ticket sales but also in ancillary spending by fans. On average, a Swiftie contributes an additional $1,300 to local economies for each show they attend, covering expenses such as travel, food, shopping, and accommodation. In 2023 alone, the Eras Tour contributed approximately $6 billion to the US economy, highlighting the significant impact of Swift's concerts on both local and national economies.

'Tortured Man Club' group chat with Taylor Swift's ex Joe Alwyn ended, says Andrew Scott
It seems like the 'Tortured Man Club' group chat between actors Andrew Scott, Joe Alwyn, and Paul Mescal didn't last long after all. According to Scott, the chat barely got off the ground, consisting of just a few initial texts before fizzling out.
The name of the chat was apparently inspired by the roles the three actors were playing or about to play, all of which featured characters dealing with various forms of emotional turmoil. It wasn't meant to reflect their personal characteristics, but rather the nature of the roles they were inhabiting.
The speculation linking the group chat to Taylor Swift's album title, 'The Tortured Poets Department', emerged after Scott and Mescal discussed the chat in a previous interview. However, Scott's recent clarification suggests that any connection between the two may have been coincidental rather than intentional.
