Taylor Swift is just as excited as her fans to resume her Eras Tour, all thanks to the streaming success of The Tortured Poets Department.

“My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album,” Swift, 34, wrote via X on Sunday, April 27, sharing snaps from the TTPD recording process. “2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed.”

She continued, “I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS?? May 9th can’t come soon enough.”

Swift released TTPD, her 11th studio album, on April 19 with plenty of tortured poetry about exes Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, plus declarations of love for now-boyfriend Travis Kelce. The album dropped during Swift’s hiatus from The Eras Tour, which she started in March 2023 to celebrate all of her past records.

Breaking Down Taylor Swift’s Remaining ‘Eras Tour’ Schedule

While there are sections for most of Swift’s iconic LPs (save for her self-titled debut) and a rotating surprise song part, it is not known if TTPD will make the setlist. Swift’s concert return is set for Thursday, May 9, in Paris before she traverses across Europe and the United Kingdom throughout the spring and summer. In the fall, Swift brings the stage shows back to North America.

Many Swifties do believe TTPD will get a designated Eras section based on a social media video that the pop star shared on Thursday, April 25. In the YouTube Short clip, Swift was seen rehearsing her tour choreography but fans did not recognize the moves from previous shows.

“Why do I feel like these are definitely rehearsal pics for TTPD songs ‘cause when have we ever had the dancers with hats and sticks,” a social media user wrote via X.

Other fans noticed that, at one point, Swift leaned on a railing that featured mystery white letters.

“That’s the TTPD logo on the railing,” one user pointed out via X. “Omg TTPD is getting her own set at The Eras Tour!”

Swift has not commented on the fan theories, but at each show she has mentioned how she’s loved being back on stage for the first time in four years. The summer Eras shows, however, will be bittersweet for the Grammy winner since she’ll be away from Kelce, 34.

Swift and Kelce, who have been dating since summer 2023, spent her tour hiatus together on the West Coast. (After downtime in Los Angeles, they jetted off to Las Vegas for the Saturday, April 27, charity auction hosted by Patrick Mahomes’ nonprofit. Swift donated four tickets to Eras concerts in the United States.)

“[They have] deepened their bond,” the insider exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “It makes the prospect of her tour more challenging. She’ll be sad, [but] they support and respect [each other]. They have busy careers, so they understand those commitments, as difficult as it is.”

Kelce is expected to attend some of Swift’s overseas shows, telling Entertainment Tonight in April that her London concerts at Wembley Stadium will surely be incredible.

‘Demon Slayer’ season 4 episode 2 release date and time confirmed

The much anticipated fourth season of Demon Slayer has finally premiered, and the wait has been worthwhile. The third season, The Swordsmith Village Arc, was released barely a year ago, and it was one for the books.

However, the anime’s fourth season is poised to take the cake! After all, it will cover The Hashira Training Arc. After months of anticipation and a handful of delightful anime releases, the first episode aired on May 12, 2024. So, with everything set in place, here’s everything you need to know about episode 2 of the fourth season of Demon Slayer

When will Demon Slayer season 4 episode 2 air?

Episode 2 is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, May 19, 2024, at 2.45 pm Eastern time, or on May 20 at 11.15 am JST, according to official confirmation. Provided there is no unexpected snag in its release timetable, it is planned to premiere every week, just as its predecessors did. As always, you can catch the episode on Hulu and Crunchyroll at the times and dates specified above. It will also be available on Netflix but only for those outside North America.

It is not yet known to the public how many episodes will be released in total. However, it’s anticipated that the fourth season, The Hashira Training Arc will deal with fewer episodes than the previous season.

What to expect from the upcoming episode?

The SwordSmith Village Arc’s climactic events caused Muchiroand Misturi to awaken their Demon Slayer marks, and Nezuko to develop a primary ability to adapt to sunlight. This was no small feat, as it was clear that the Ubuyashiki Family had found a glimmer of hope that they would eventually be able to defeat Muzan. The process that followed ultimately gave rise to The Hashira Training Arc. Thus, to prepare for the decisive battle, all of the remaining Hashira will need to band together and train the upcoming demon slayers as well as themselves.

Episode 2’s official title is “The Pain of the Water Hashira,” and it features a return appearance of Giyu Tomioka. In case you might have forgotten, Giyu is the Water Breath user from season 1 who presumably saved Nezuko, as well as Tanjiro. However, things are not going well for him this time around, as he has chosen not to participate in the training.

In fact, he may even give up the position of Water Hashira to someone else. The episode will feature Tanjiro’s relentless efforts to persuade him to stay, and like with previous Hashiras, it will give us a glimpse into the agonizing past of Giyu Tomioka, including how he came to be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Global intelligence plummets as conspiracy theorists claim that the Aurora Borealis is man made

Despite the ample research that has gone into the Aurora Borealis over the years, there are some very special people who believe that the phenomenon isn’t natural. A conspiracy theory that emerged in the mid-90s has continued to grow, and just like those folks who believe the Earth is flat, it doesn’t matter how many easily accessible resources are available.  

Millions of people across the globe were privy to the gorgeous auroras over the weekend. The ethereal pink, purple, and green lights danced across parts of Europe, the Northern U.S., Australia, and New Zealand skies on Friday, May 10 as “extreme” geomagnetic conditions raced through Earth’s magnetic field.

The well-researched phenomenon is caused by coronal mass ejections (CME), comprised of plasma and magnetic materials ejected from the sun through explosions known as solar flares. CMEs create currents in the Earth’s magnetic field according to NASA. Which then send particles to the North and South poles. The chemical reaction between Earth’s oxygen and nitrogen-rich thermosphere creates shimmering auroras that have fascinated humans for centuries.

Conspiracy theorists on social media aren’t so sure about the natural phenomenon. They claim that the lights were caused by the “High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program” or HAARP for short.

 Let’s be clear, HAARP is a real program. Its researchers – comprised of students from the University of Alaska, the University of Colorado, the University of Florida, the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Cornell University – study the Ionosphere, which resides roughly 50 to 400 miles above the Earth’s surface.

To do so, the students use the Ionospheric Research Instrument, a “high-powered transmitter facility operating in the High-Frequency range,” which can “excite” a limited area of the Ionosphere for scientific study. The research will further our understanding of the effects that the sun’s natural stimulation have on the layers of Earth’s atmosphere.

While the HAARP is in use, its effects can be seen around 300 miles from the facility in Gakona, Alaska. This “airglow” is created with high-frequency radio transmissions, and due to the way the human eye works, it’s easier to see out of the peripheral, where it appears as a “faint red or possibly green patch.” The HAARP was in use during the May 10 auroras, a stint that started 2 days earlier on May 8.

Since the first facility was installed in Alaska several more have been erected. The EISCAT operates outside Tromsø, Norway, and the SIHF can be found outside of Vasilsursk, Russia. While other facilities have operated over the years, only 3 are active.

Theorists assert that the HAARP research is trying to prepare people for the “inevitable” man-made storms that the government will use to cause all sorts of problems. From Solar flares and earthquakes, to “a cascade of electrons that could flip Earth’s magnetic poles,” and even mind control, it seems that HAARP does everything except its intended purpose.

Who knows, maybe it even makes those “Jewish space lasers” that Marjorie Taylor Greene was talking about.
