Taylor Swift jokes about breaking her piano during Milan Eras Tour show
During the second night of her Eras Tour in Milan, Taylor Swift had a playful moment with her flower-painted piano. As she started playing 'Getaway Car' from 'Reputation', she stopped midway as a chord sounded off.
A production assistant came on stage as the crowd’s wristbands turned bright green to help with a piano malfunction. He opened the top of the piano but struggled to close it. This led Swift to joke, "We have finally broken this thing," before figuring out how to close the piano top.
After the first chorus, she asked the audience, "Did I choose correctly?" and seamlessly transitioned into a medley of 'Out of the Woods' from '1989 (Taylor’s Version)'. The pop star thanked the crowd for their enthusiasm and shared that the song choices were inspired by the previous night's audience.

Italian artist mocks Kim Kardashian as Taylor Swift's Eras Tour visits Milan
Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo took Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian's feud to the next level by mocking the SKIMS founder's iconic 2014 Paper Magazine cover photo.
In a mural, a stone's throw away from the San Siro Stadium, Palombo replaced Kardashian's face with Swift’s and added a reference to the 'thanK you aIMee' track, which is said to be about the reality TV star.
The feud originally stemmed from Kanye West naming Swift in one of his songs, which fans have continued to discuss even after Kardashian and West’s divorce.
A poll from The US Sun revealed that 50% of fans think it’s time for the pop star to move on from the 2009 conflict.

Travis Kelce gets a Taylor Swift-themed welcome at American Century Championship
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce received a special Swiftie welcome at the American Century Championship on Friday, July 12. As he prepared to tee off at the 17th hole, a remixed version of Swift’s hit song 'Lavender Haze' played through the speakers, and Travis was seen nodding along to the music before taking his shot.
He was competing alongside his brother and 'New Heights' podcast co-host, Jason Kelce, at Edgewood Tahoe. While Travis finished the day with a score of -2, putting him in 62nd place out of 90 golfers, Jason struggled with a -24 score.
When Travis was on the 16th hole, he accidentally hit a woman in the back of her head, requiring medical attention. He later checked on her and took a photo.
Earlier in the round, the tight end hit a spectator's arm with his golf ball. He walked down the course to locate the fan and kissed his arm after a friendly handshake, delighting the crowd.

Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' remains in top Billboard 200 spot for 12 weeks in a row
Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' has remained at No 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for 12 consecutive weeks, surpassing Whitney Houston’s record for the most initial consecutive weeks at No 1 from an album by a female artist. Houston’s 1987 album 'Whitney' held the No 1 position for 11 weeks at the start.
The pop star's latest album has also managed to match the modern record set by Morgan Wallen’s 'One Thing at a Time', which spent 12 consecutive weeks at No 1 in late 2023 and early 2024.
'The Tortured Poets Department' saw a significant boost in sales, with a 154% increase in weekly album sales thanks to the new limited editions and remixes.
Meanwhile, Zach Bryan’s 'The Great American Bar Scene' debuted at No 17 with 137,000 units but couldn't challenge Swift’s streak. The release of Eminem’s 'The Death of Slim Shady' is the next big potential threat to Swift’s chart dominance.
