Taylor Swift helped launch Pride Month in June by giving an emotional speech during her second sold-out concert at Chicago's Soldier Field Saturday night (June 2). Before performing her new song "Delicate," the 28-year-old pop star shared a heartfelt message dedicated to the LGBTQ community.  “It’s very brave to be vulnerable about your feelings in any situation, but it’s even more brave to be honest about your feelings and who you love when you know that it might be met with adversity from society,” Swift told her thousands of fans in attendance. “This month and every month I want to send my love and respect to everybody who has been brave enough to be honest about how they feel, to live their lives as they are, as they feel they should be, as they identify,” she continued. |

 Taylor Swift has praised Manchester's "incredible resilience" as she opens the UK leg of her tour in the city. The star paused her show to remember the 22 people who lost their lives in a terrorist attack after an Ariana Grande concert last May.  "Concerts are supposed to be about innocence, and about joy and about excitement," she told the audience. "And what happened just over a year ago in this city was an attempt to steal that innocence.  "Ever since then, you have shown such strength," she continued. "You've shown that you're never going to let anyone forget about those victims. "You have such incredible resilience - to keep dancing, and to keep the innocence and to keep the joy. |

 The tribute came about half-way through the 90-minute concert, which was the first UK date of Swift's Reputation World Tour.  The evening didn't get off to the most promising start, as ticketing problems caused a 30-minute delay - and left some fans unable to watch the support acts Charli XCX and Camila Cabello.  This did nothing to dull the atmosphere inside Manchester's Etihad Stadium, however, where fans were given LED wristbands that flashed in time to the music, uniting the audience despite lower-than-expected attendance.  |

You could, if you wished, infer a great deal from the stage set of Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour. Not since the British Herpetological Society held their agm at a local museum has Manchester seen quite so many snakes gathered together on one stage. There are films of snakes.  There are films of Taylor Swift wearing clothes covered in snakes. There is a platform covered in snakes upon which dancers recline, three different giant inflatable snakes with illuminated eyes that rear up from the stages dotted around the Etihad Stadium. There is a huge skeleton of a snake attached to a wire, on which Swift flies across the arena, singing Bad Blood.  One interpretation would be that all this reflects the world view frequently presented on the 2017 album after which the tour is named. Therein Swift depicts herself as constantly assailed by various reptilian forces, a panoply of “liars” and “big enemies”, former friends and lovers, internet commentators, gossip mag journalists: infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it infamy, as Kenneth Williams once cried. |
