Taylor Swift references popular fan phrase to promote new movie
Taylor Swift has announced that her Eras tour will be hitting the big screen, with the concert film being released in cinemas in North America on October 13. In the announcement, Swift described how the sell-out stadium tour has been "the most meaningful, electric experience of my life so far," as well as letting fans know tickets are on sale now. "Eras attire, friendship bracelets, singing and dancing encouraged...," she added, before signing off the post with "1, 2, 3 LGB!!!! (iykyk) [If you know you know]." For this last part, Swifties know all about this abbreviation as it is a fan chant that stands for "1, 2, 3, let's go b****!" This first became a thing when a fan shouted this during Swift's performance of 'Delicate' during her Reputation Stadium Tour. When Swift sings the line: "We can’t make, any promises now can we babe, but you can make me a drink…,” there is a brief pause before the verse where fans chant: "1, 2, 3, let's go b****!" Clearly, the 'Anti-Hero' singer has heard this chant loud and clear during her Eras Tour shows to include this fan lore in her latest post. It's not the first time Swift has released a film documenting her career milestones, as on Netflix there is the Miss Americana (2020) documentary that chronicles her musical journey and details her personal life. While fans of the 2017 reputation album can relive the live shows as the stadium tour was recorded - and both films are currently available to stream on Netflix. In 2020, the Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions where Swift performed the songs and gave insight into how they were made was released by Disney+. Most recently, Swift released All Too Well: The Short Film in 2021 where fans can watch the short film on YouTube and at the time it was also released in select theaters by Universal Pictures.

Idris Elba reveals sad reason he turned down role as next James Bond
Idris Elba has revealed he turned down the role of being the next James Bond due to racist comments about the idea being made online. The actor, who was tipped to be the favourite to take over from Daniel Craig, appeared on the SmartLess podcast, where he explained why the offer was 'pinnacle', but he simply couldn't take it because of the 'world's vote'. "Those that weren’t happy about the idea made the whole thing disgusting and off-putting, because it became about race," he said. "It became about nonsense and I got the brunt of it."

Eurovision viewers left asking ‘who the hell is Edgar’ after Austria’s catchy entry
Let’s be honest: none of us saw a song about being possessed by the ghost of writer Edgar Allan Poe coming at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, but we’re all here for it. In Austria’s entry for the competition – taking place in Liverpool on behalf of last year’s winners, Ukraine – singers Teya and Salena ask “Who the Hell is Edgar?”, and that’s a blooming good question. The answer? Edgar Allan Poe… poe, poe, poe, poe, poe… Yes, that is the chorus, and yes, it is that catchy. So aside from being supposedly possessed by Poe, what prompted the duo to write about the American writer, who died all the way back in 1849? According to the lyrics, the singer is “happy” to be taken over by Poe because the song is “feeling special” and will “make me rich”. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter However, arguably the more interesting lines come later in the track, when Teya and Salena reference the figure “0.003” – the amount of money music streaming giant Spotify pays artists after a single stream of a song. The lyrics continue: “Give me two years, and your dinner will be free / Gas station champagne is on me / Edgar cannot pay rent for me. “Zero, dot, zero, zero, three / At least it pays to be funny / Ugh.” So yes, “Who the Hell is Edgar” does appear to actually be about the poor treatment of artists in the music industry. We love to see it – and so do other Eurovision fans: However, Austria’s chances of winning the contest may be scuppered now, after it was revealed on Friday that they would be first up to perform in Saturday’s Grand Final. According to an online article from the Eurovision Song Contest itself back in 2019, at the time, only three songs in the competition’s history won after performing first. Out of 67 winners, just over 34 per cent came from the first half of the show, so it doesn’t look that good for them. Elsewhere, though, there is some good news for Luxembourg, as it’s been announced the country will return to compete in the show from next year – ending a 30-year hiatus after they were relegated in 1993.
