Taylor Swift’s Return To The UK Is Almost Upon Us – Here Are All Our Eras Tour Dos And Don’ts

Posted on by

The biggest music event of 2024 is heading back to the UK later this month.

After impressing fans with her first run of UK shows earlier in the summer, Taylor Swift is bringing her mammoth Eras Tour to London’s iconic Wembley Stadium next week, with a string of performances that will round off the jaunt’s European leg.

After scouring TikTok for clips and devotedly streaming her Disney+ special, plenty of Swifties will have been waiting almost a year to see the Grammy winner live (not to mention the money they’ve spent in the process), so the Eras Tour’s stint at Wembley is going to be a seriously big deal.

And if that sounds like a familiar scenario, perhaps you’re keen for tips to maximise the experience.

Here’s our full list of Eras Tour dos and don’ts before you head off to Wembley, after we were lucky enough to catch the show when it was here back in June…

Do plenty of planning ahead of time

Even if you’ve been going to gigs for decades, the Eras Tour is such a specific experience (namely because it’s such a long show!) that it’s genuinely more comparable with a day out to somewhere like Thorpe Park than it is your typical concert.

Because it will take up so much of your time (and, let’s face it, Wembley Stadium isn’t the most convenient of locations for everyone), everything from travel, weather, meals and toilet breaks are all things worth considering when you’re putting your plans together. And on that note, if you’re of a certain age, perhaps accompanying someone younger for the night, it might be worth doing a few cheeky stretches before the fun gets underway, too.

Don’t spoil it too much for yourself

Planning is important, and it’s probably an idea to take a quick peek at the setlist so you have a rough idea of when you might want to nip to the loo, grab a snack or even leave early if Midnights deep cuts are less important to you than bagging a spot on the tube before the rest of Wembley.

There are also a few call-and-response moments in the show that have grown bigger through word of mouth as the tour has gone on, so depending on how much you want to prove your muster to the Swifties around you, it could be worth swotting up on those, too.

However, Taylor has also packed the Eras Tour with loads of fun details and unexpected moments, so even though plenty of fans in the audience will have already memorised every detail of the show before ever clapping eyes on it in person, we still think there’s something to be said for keeping a few things as a surprise.

Oh, and as for the setlist, while she does give almost all of her “eras” its moment to shine, it’s jam-packed with hits, so don’t worry too much about spending your time cramming on Taylor’s back catalogue (in fact, some of the show’s best moments for us came during songs we weren’t too familiar with).

Don’t miss the support acts

As if Paramore wasn’t already enticing enough, Taylor has recruited a host of impressive support acts for each of her remaining London shows.

Her previous UK supports included the likes of Benson Boone, Gracie Abrams and Mette, and the I Knew You Were Trouble singer has kept the momentum going with the opening acts on this next leg.

They include chart-toppers Raye and Maisie Peters, Brit Award winner Holly Humberstone, singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse and rising star Sofia Isella.

Getting there early to see the support acts also means you’re in with a better chance of beating the queues at the merch and food stands, too.

Do bring friendship bracelets

No, it’s not just a TikTok thing, friendship bracelets really are everywhere on the Eras Tour, not just among fans inside the gigs but also outside Wembley Stadium, where plenty of people also set up makeshift stalls to create new ones for their fellow Swifties on their way into the event.

The extremely wholesome trading was inspired by a line from Folklore cut You’re On Your Own Kid (which, strangely enough, isn’t actually on the Eras Tour setlist!), and while it may be easy for cynics to roll their eyes at, it’s worth pointing out that it’s a great way for fans to come away from the show with a souvenir they didn’t actually have to spend a fortune on (particularly when you consider some of those eye-watering ticket prices).

Do dress up

Something else that’s definitely not just confined to a few fans on TikTok is dressing up – the Swifties are going all out with their concert outfits, and to be perfectly honest with you, in 25 years of going to gigs, we’ve never seen so many pop fans dressed up in one venue.

If you’re a little worried about whether the outfit you’ve got planned is too much – trust us, whatever it is, it’s not.

On the other hand, if you were planning to attend in your civvies, we’d at least suggest throwing in a pop of colour and calling it a “Lover era” homage, or opting for pastels or monochrome in the spirit of the “Midnights” and “Tortured Poets Department” eras (on our way out the door we grabbed something snakeskin in the hopes that it could pass for a “Reputation era” tribute, and judging from the few knowing nods we got, we think we can call it a win).

Don’t worry about where your seats are

Now, Wembley Stadium is a big old place, so when you first take your seats before the show, you might suddenly be hit with a wave of worry about just how much of the show you’re going to be able to see.

Well, don’t fret.

Not only is the Eras Tour enough of a visual spectacle that there’s almost always something to hold your attention no matter where you’re sitting, it’s also equipped with enormous screens so those with seats further away from the action won’t feel like they’re missing out on anything.

Do allow yourself to take it all in – and enjoy it!

We get it, Taylor Swift isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and between the clips of fans having full-scale meltdowns about the show on TikTok and the blanket media coverage about the singer’s every move, it’s easy to be cynical about the Eras Tour. We were, too, in all honesty.

But if you’re fortunate enough to have a ticket, we guarantee that if you let your guard down and drop that scepticism, it’s hard not to be swept up in the atmosphere at a show like the Eras Tour.

So while a gig that seemingly requires so much planning and research might seem like a big of a slog, the most important thing of all is to enjoy it, and if you go into it all with a positive attitude, you definitely will.

Swifties from 113 countries have secured tickets through global ticket marketplace, viagogo. On their platform, more than a quarter of the tickets (26%) were bought just a week before the show and 12% of fans managed to grab theirs just 24 hours before Taylor stepped on stage.

If you’re wondering if it’s possible to get a last-minute Eras Tour ticket and avoid FOMO, always remember to use a safe and secure platform like viagogo which comes with a full money back guarantee.

The 1 Thing That Will Make Your Bathroom More Dementia-Friendly

Posted on by
Reply

According to the NHS, research shows there are more than 944,000 people in the UK who have dementia, and this is only increasing as people are lving longer.

The NHS also state that in the early stages of dementia, sufferers may be able to live at home, continuing to enjoy doing the things they have always done and having an active social life.

However, there are steps you or a carer can take at home to make the condition easier to manage and offset the more difficult days of dementia.

Now, Dementia UK have shared tips for making bathrooms more dementia-friendly

On their TikTok channel, a specialist dementia nursing charity have shared their tips for making bathrooms more dementia-friendly, and they’re really simple.

Most notably, the charity recommend using brightly-coloured towels which, as well as just making your bathroom a little more colourful, will stand out more on the towel rail and make spotting them easier.

Additionally, the experts recommend that if you have a fabric bathmat, this should be rolled up when not in use to prevent trips and falls.

While this is probably just good practice in general, NHS Inform urge that dementia sufferers are at a higher risk, saying: “There are different personal risk factors that cause people to fall, however, people with dementia are at greater risk because they: are more likely to experience problems with mobility, balance and muscle weakness.”

Dementia UK offer more tips for making bathrooms accessible

On their website, Dementia UK recommend the following steps for making bathrooms a safer place for dementia sufferers:

  • Stick a written sign or a picture of a toilet to the door to help the person identify the bathroom
  • Leave the bathroom light on at night to help the person find their way
  • Fit a toilet lid and seat in a different colour from the toilet itself to make it more visible
  • Use a free-standing toilet roll holder. These are easier to see than wall-mounted holders, and putting it right next to the toilet means the person does not have to stretch and potentially lose their balance – but if the person is prone to falls, be aware that they may be a trip hazard
  • Install rails or handles at useful points such as in the bath/shower and next to the toilet
  • Provide a bath or shower seat if the person has mobility or balance problems
  • Use flood and scald prevention plugs in the basin and bath

The Secret Method Restaurants Use To Cook Perfect Risotto Quickly

Posted on by
Reply

We’ve already shared at HuffPost UK how restaurants make everything from salads to burgers and garlic bread taste so much better than many of us can make at home.

We’ve even revealed that the pros add an extra step when prepping broccoli.

But if (like) me you’ve always wanted to know how restaurants get fresh, perfectly cooked risotto on the table so quickly, it turns out they’ve got a secret trick up their sleeve for that, too.

How do restaurants cook fresh risotto so fast?

“The secret is that the rice is pre-cooked,” James Beard award-winning chef Alan Bergo shared on his site Forager Chef.

He added, “If you’ve ever wondered how fancy Italian restaurants serve risotto so quickly, it’s because the restaurant is pre-cooking and cooling their risotto before service.”

Aside from speeding the cooking process along, pre-cooking rice can improve the flavour and texture of the notoriously tricky dish, too.

“Pre-cooking the rice gives more control to the chef, helping them make sure the rice is done perfectly, and neither over or undercooked,” the chef wrote.

It’s not simply parboiled in water, either: the cookbook author and industry expert shared that the rice gets its first bath in onion, wine, water, and salt.

That way, he explains, you go from sweating over a hot stove while prepping dinner to an “effortless” meal you can knock up in no time.

Woah. So how do you pre-cook rice for risotto?

Bergo shared that he begins by gently frying off some onion until it’s translucent. Once that’s done, he adds the rice to the pan and coats it in the oil and onions, allowing it to cook for two minutes.

After that, he deglazes the pan with a splash of wine ― you can skip this step if you like.

Then comes the stock. He adds this in “ladles,” about 170ml at a time, ensuring each spoonful of stock has been absorbed by the rice before adding the next one.

“When the rice has absorbed about half of the total cooking liquid it will be roughly half cooked,” he advised ― at that point, you can remove the rice from the heat, place it on a baking tray, and create grooves in it with a spatula or knife to help it cool.

Another sign it’s done is if the rice is “soft on the outside, but still raw and very chewy in the middle, about ten minutes.”

That’s your pre-cooked rice, which you can simply store in the fridge and re-introduce more stick to later.

Genius, right?

I Was A 38-Year-Old Black Woman Who Couldn’t Swim. Here’s What Finally Got Me In The Pool.

Posted on by

The day I decided to learn how to swim was uneventful. I was at home nursing my then-14-month-old daughter when I came across a video on social media of a mom blogger I follow. In the video, her 2-year-old was jumping fearlessly into a pool as an instructor waited nearby in the water to catch the kid. The kid didn’t need catching. The child popped up to the surface of the water just as fast as he jumped in and stayed afloat by treading. “Wow, I hope my daughter can do that,” I thought. This thought was immediately followed up with, “Wow, I want to do that.”

I was a 38-year-old woman who couldn’t swim.

Over the years, I’ve concocted a lot of reasons for not learning how to swim, but the truth is it was never a priority. I grew up in Chicago where outdoor activities like going to the pool were limited to warm months.

Even then, swimming wasn’t on the list of things to do in the summer for us. Were my friends and classmates and their families going to the pool? Probably, but if so, I didn’t know about it. And taking a dive in often-contaminated Lake Michigan wasn’t a thing.

In high school, Swim 101 was a mandatory course for all freshmen. But, as my luck would have it, the pool was broken my freshman year. To think about it, I don’t remember even seeing the pool my entire four years of high school.

It’s important to note that I’m Black. For most of my life, I fit right into the stereotype that Black people can’t swim. Unfortunately, the stereotype has some truth to it. A national study conducted by USA Swimming (the U.S. governing body for the sport of swimming) and the University of Memphis found that up to 70% of Black/African-American people can’t swim, compared with roughly 31% of Caucasians who can’t swim.

Culturally, I knew that while some of my Black friends did, in fact, know how to swim, a lot of them didn’t. This was in comparison with my white friends who all knew how to swim. I wondered what caused such a wide variance in the statistics between the two races and found out that historical systemic racism might be at the helm.

Some say access to swimming pools geographically and economically created barriers for Black communities to produce swimmers. We also can’t forget the racial history of swimming pools. During the era of segregation, Black people were often denied access to public swimming pools and beaches. This exclusion prevented many from learning how to swim and from enjoying aquatic recreation.

Even in areas where Black communities had access to swimming facilities, these pools were often underfunded and poorly maintained, making them less appealing and safe for swimming. The lack of access to swimming facilities for previous generations means that many Black parents and grandparents didn’t learn to swim and thus were less likely to teach their children.

Perhaps the most oversimplified reason I’ve heard as to why we can’t swim is that Black women, in particular, avoid the water sport to protect the delicate texture of our hair and preserve its upkeep. I don’t believe this.

If I’m honest, being a mom played a more significant role in my desire to swim than being Black. Not only did I want to learn how to swim to inspire my daughter to do it, I wanted to be able to jump into a pool without hesitation if she were in trouble and needed saving.

As warmer months came, social media flooded my timeline with ads and popular videos about toddlers drowning from lack of supervision and inexperience in the water. I was paranoid and anxious. And I had reason to be. The National Drowning Prevention Alliance says drowning is the No. 1 killer of kids ages 1 to 4. The only way to minimise my fears would be for me to learn the lifesaving skill.

Finding adult swim lessons in my area was difficult as lessons mostly catered to children. But I eventually landed on the YMCA’s group classes. My first class started off rocky due to me running late for the 30-minute class from trying to find parking. Still, it didn’t stop me from jumping right in.

“Hey, welcome. We’re gliding across the pool,” my instructor said. “What is gliding?” I thought. Quickly I caught on by seeing my other classmates ― who were mostly Black and Latina women ― lying flat on their bellies on the water while extending their bodies out straight. Testing this out, I felt intimidated and free all at once.

Once I mastered gliding and floating, I moved on to freestyle, the most basic swim technique. In my experience, and from what instructors have told me, it is much more challenging for adults to learn how to swim than for children. Most adults have developed fear of the water, something that is often absent from fearless kids, and adults also overthink. Again, kids tend to do first, then think later, or at least my toddler does.

My hips sank, I struggled to get air, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to kick from my hips. Synchronising my body parts to move seamlessly all at once felt unnatural and as if I were learning to walk for the first time. I grew frustrated. But I wasn’t frustrated enough to quit, again.

Ten years prior, I took multiple rounds of swim lessons and walked away without mastering the activity. Childless, young and free, my only goal was to be able to hold a margarita while staying afloat in the deep end of the pool with my friends. Needless to say, this wasn’t a big enough motivator for me to continue lessons and practice on my own.

This time was different. My daughter was my biggest motivator and also smashing the stereotype that so many of us Black people are thrown into as non-swimmers. I also wanted to prove to myself that through unwavering commitment I could prevail in something that was physically challenging and completely new for me and my body. There was no turning back.

Every Saturday I showed up to class and my solo practice sessions, no matter how discouraged I became. And while there were tears, there was also joy. One of the biggest pieces of feedback my instructor gave me week over week was to “relax and have fun.” Relaxing and having fun was something I never considered throughout the process. But the moment I was able to lean into calm and find fun in what I was doing, the water felt as though it hugged my body. Yes, I wanted to learn to swim for safety reasons, but I could also do it for fun, and a great workout, might I add.

Eventually I outgrew group classes at the YMCA and moved on to private lessons. The one-on-one attention was the change I needed to correct a few positioning errors and master freestyle. Eight months after starting my journey, I was finally able to say that I could swim.

Without a doubt, my daughter will learn how to swim. She loves the water, and at 2 years old is able to take direction and understand the basics of water safety. I prefer her to be trained by an instructor, and someone more experienced than me, but I’ll be close by watching her progress.

Learning to swim for the sake of my daughter didn’t erase all of my anxiety. Does it ever go away as a parent? But it did make me a lot more comfortable in having water safety for myself and my daughter. I won’t be diving off a cliff or swimming in the ocean anytime soon, but without hesitation, I will jump into a pool to save my daughter, God forbid I ever need to.

More than anything, I’m proud of myself. I continue to take swimming lessons and practice on my own because I want to be even more comfortable in the water than what I currently am. I’m also no longer a statistic or stereotype among the “Black people can’t swim” conversations.

Black people can swim. And I’m one of them.

Brat Summer Is Showing No Signs Of Slowing Down As Charli XCX Lands Fresh Chart Accolade

Posted on by

If you’ve been enjoying a Brat summer, you’ve now got even more reason to celebrate.

And more to the point, so does Charli XCX.

Off the back of the mammoth success of her latest album Brat – which has been hovering near the top of the charts since its release in June, inspiring countless social media trends and landing Charli her second ever Mercury Prize nomination – the British singer is celebrating her second ever number one single with Guess.

The track, originally a bonus track on the brilliantly-titled special edition Brat And It’s The Same But There’s Three More Songs So It’s Not, garnered a whole new audience last week when a new remixed version was unveiled, featuring none other than Billie Eilish.

It’s this remix that has earned Charli her second number one, and her first as a lead artist (she previously topped the charts alongside Icona Pop on I Love It way back in 2012).

Guess is also the third UK number one for Billie, following on from her James Bond theme No Time To Die and What Was I Made For, her Oscar-winning contribution to the Barbie soundtrack last year.

As if all that wasn’t enough, Brat cuts Apple and 360 are both at the eighth and 11th positions, respectively, in this week’s chart.

Lead single Von Dutch previously peaked at number 26, while album track Girl, So Confusing – which received an A-list feature on its own when Lorde contributed a guest verse to its official remix – reached 28 last month.
