After Taylor Swift's Eras Tour performances in Singapore, the couple swiftly headed to Los Angeles, where they celebrated the 96th Academy Awards and went out to an event together after the show.

Emma Stone's Oscars speech caught Swifties off guard

Swifties were captivated by Emma Stone's use of a line from a Taylor Swift song as she took the stage on Sunday night, March 10, to win the Best Actress award for 'Poor Things'. "I know I have to wrap up, but I really just want to thank my family my mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband Dave, I love you so much," a tearful Stone said during her address.
Before concluding her speech, Stone addressed her daughter Louise and said, "My daughter, who’s gonna be 3 in three days and has turned our lives technicolor. I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl." The reference was quickly picked up by Swifities, as Taylor Swift's 2022 deluxe album 'Midnights' had a song titled 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky,' which peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Real reasons why Taylor Swift skipped the 2024 Oscars ceremony
The 'Cruel Summer' singer did not appear among the stars at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre for the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 10, despite attending the Golden Globes and Grammys this year. There are two reasons for Taylor Swift's absence from the red carpet appearance.
First off, the music mogul recently concluded a gig in Singapore on Saturday, March 9, while on the international leg of her historic tour. Second, Swift did not receive an Oscar nomination this year. Fans once again predicted that Swift would eventually receive an Oscar nomination, this time for her concert film 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour'.

Price data experts acknowledge Taylor Swift's lead role in the vinyl comeback
Statisticians who measure the rising cost of living have acknowledged the rise in vinyl music sales, driven by Taylor Swift's meteoric rise in popularity. Vinyl records have made a comeback after over 30 years, and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) now includes them in its inventory of items used to monitor prices and calculate inflation.
Singer-songwriter Swift's influence extends beyond the music industry, where she is a megastar. It has been said that her mere attendance at American football games to watch her beau Travis Kelce has increased NFL viewership. The Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds was the next best-selling vinyl LP of 2023 after Taylor Swift's '1989 (Taylor's Version).'
