Taylor Swift didn’t have a sell-out show, and it might have something to do with her pal, Ed Sheeran. Croke Park, Ireland, had two Swift shows, and both Michael Buble and The Rolling Stones also performed at the GAA stadium, Dublin Live reports. However, not one of the acts sold out the 80,000 capacity stadium, and according to the festival’s director, Melvin Benn, the flame-haired singer is to blame. He said: ‘I guess I was surprised a little bit – they’re great acts. Maybe it was slightly the wrong time. ‘There has been a lot in Ireland this year and maybe that’s a factor. ‘Some of the acts have been more than once. Ed Sheeran took a lot of money out of the market – it would be difficult to find someone in Ireland who didn’t go to see Ed.’ Ed Sheeran has been performing his nine shows across Ireland.
Benn is optimistic about this year’s Electric Picnic, which is gearing up to host some of the world’s biggest musicians. Kendrick Lamar, Dua Lipa and Massive Attack are headlining, and tickets for the 55,000 capacity festival sold out just minutes after going on sale. N.E.R.D, Ben Howard and Jungle are a handful of the many acts who will also be performing at the festival in Ireland. The festival will take place in Stradbally in Laois from 31 August to 2 September.
An AI bot has written what could be Taylor Swift’s next song. LET’S hope there’s no Bad Blood when Taylor Swift finds out her writing talents were replicated by a bot.
The data scientists at CableTV.com, a site that allows consumers to compare television-service offerings, plugged 50 of Swift’s lyrics into a neural network and trained it to come up with its own Swiftian lyrics.
It created one complete song with two verses, a chorus, and a bridge — just lyrics though — no music. The resulting song, named by the bot, is called The Last Word (Whoa, Whoa-Ah-Oh), which proves to have more AI craziness, than a Swift touch.
“Our bot-generated @taylorswift13 song has officially proven that we should leave the songwriting to #TaylorSwift herself,” the company humorously tweeted.
Some fans will appreciate the bot’s attempt at nailing some believable Taylor phrases including “I wore your tee in the morning and love at nights”, “Wednesday is a wound around the corner,” and “She drove you to think you found the one with fire and late dreaming.” But, admittedly, the company said: “The AI made a valiant effort, but the final result is no Love Story. Honestly, we wouldn’t even call it a bop.” The song may not hit the Top 40 anytime soon, but the neural network showed some songwriting potential.
There’s Speculation That Harry Styles Wrote “Two Ghosts” About Taylor Swift and the Internet Is Losing It.
Harry Styles is dropping his debut solo album later this week, and it is causing quite the chatter…about Taylor Swift.
Not only did the former One Direction band member recently open up to Rolling Stone magazine about his past relationship with the Grammy-winning singer, but there has also been speculation on whether there will be a song on his new album about their time together.
At first glance, many fans believed “Ever Since New York” would about the “Welcome to New York” singer, but after Harry debuted the song during a live performance on Saturday Night Live and the lyrics were released the hype largely died down.
Now, many fans believe “Two Ghosts” may actually be the song about his relationship with T.Swift.
After Apple Music released a 30-second trailer of Harry’s upcoming Behind the Album documentary, it did not take long for the Internet to put a few puzzle pieces together.
In the video, Harry is singing an unreleased song that matches the lyrics shown in his notebook.
“Same lips red, same eyes blue/ Same white shirt, couple more tattoos/But it’s not you, and it’s not me/Tastes so sweet, looks so real/Sounds like something that I used to feel/But I can’t touch what I see/We’re not who we used to be/We’re not who we used to be/We’re just two ghosts standing in…”
