Taylor Swift found herself coughing in the middle of her Eras gig in Chicago after she swallowed a fly, causing Swifties to fall silent in concern. A number of clips have been making rounds online from Swift's performance at the Soldier Field on Sunday night (June 4) where at one point the 33-year-old had to cut her chat with audience short as she began to suddenly cough. “I swallowed a bug. I’m so sorry," Swift admitted to the 63,500-strong crowd who then laughed as she attempted to spit the insect out.

I'm just gonna try not to do as many of those. This is gonna happen again tonight. There’s so many bugs. There’s one thousand of them." Some clips show a number of bugs flying around that the singer had to contend with when the spotlight was on her. @scariestgirluknow “Delicious” @Taylor Swift the Eras Tour @Taylor Swift #erastour #erastourtaylorswift #taylorswift #chicagon3 Since then, Swifties who weren't at the concert have been reacting to the clips that have been circulating on social media.

Kanye West has been criticised for making some pretty dystopian wardrobe choices for his latest Sunday Service outing with his family and new wife. The congregation at West’s gospel group service included some of the rapper's own kids, who headed to the ceremony in billowing white robes and face masks. Images of the group immediately invited comments on social media, likening the anachronistic outfits to something out of 'The Handmaid's' tale. But, the children in the congregation were far from the only attendees to draw attention due to their unusual outfits. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter West and his wife Bianca Censori were also captured wearing some highly unconventional clothing. Censori could be seen dressed head to toe in what could be described as one large pare of tights covering her whole body. Meanwhile, West himself was seen sporting a pair of black leggings along with a heavily padded-out black t-shirt with the word “Polizei” (the German word for police) on it. West started his Sunday Service gospel group in 2019 and his four children, whom he shares with reality star Kim Kardashian, are fairly frequent attendees. On social media, users shared their thoughts on the rapper and his wife’s unusual clothing. Someone wrote: “Just free her... What cult it this?” Another said: “Kanye West being just Kanye West.” In the most recent episode of her Hulu reality show, Kardashian opened up about what it was like to be married to West, particularly as he struggled with his mental health, being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016. Kardashian explained: “I used to run around and call everyone behind his back and be like, ‘It's gonna be okay, don't worry, just give him another chance.’ I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my days as the clean-up crew.” She added: “It's the hardest feeling to watch someone you really loved, and you have a family with be so different than what you knew.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Nearly a half-century after its release, Queen’s classic “mock opera”—a favorite of Wayne and Garth’s—is still regularly cited as one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

Excerpts from an upcoming memoir by The Umbrella Academy actor Elliot Page have revealed the Juno star allegedly received a rape threat from an “acquaintance” at a Los Angeles party – six years before they came out as transgender. Page came out as gay in 2014, but in a section of the book seen and shared by People, the 36-year-old details an incident at a birthday party two months later in which the unnamed individual claimed, “you aren’t gay – that doesn’t exist” and that the Canadian was “just afraid of men”. The chapter, titled “Famous A**hole at Party”, goes on to add the male then reportedly told Page: “I’m going to f*** you to make you realise you aren’t gay.” Despite the threat of ‘corrective rape’ – a hate crime where the abuser seeks to change or ‘cure’ a person’s sexuality, often to heterosexuality – the anonymous actor apparently told Page at the gym, where they saw each other again a few days later, that they “don’t have a problem with gay people, I swear.” “I think you might,” Page replied. Expanding on the situation, Page told People he’s had “some version” of the incident “happen many times throughout my life”. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “A lot of queer and trans people deal with it incessantly. These moments that we often like don’t talk about or we’re supposed to just brush off, when actually it’s very awful. “I put that story in the book because it’s about highlighting the reality, the s*** we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly – particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual. “How we navigate that world where you either have more extreme, overt moments like that, or you have the more, like, subtle jokes. [In Hollywood] these are very powerful people – they’re the ones choosing what stories are being told and creating content for people to see all around the world,” they said. Page added that although he’s “purposely” not sharing the name of the individual, the person “will hear about this and know it’s him”, and there were others who saw and heard what happened at the party.

It turns out we've got Shaggy's 'It Wasn't Me' all wrong, according to the man himself. The 2000 hit song, which features vocals from RikRok, follows the plot of a cheating man confiding in Shaggy and asking him for advice. The singer has since revealed that fans completely misunderstood the track, leading him to have a reputation as a "player". "It was a big misconception with that song because that song is not a cheating song," he told People. "It’s an anti-cheating song. It’s just that nobody listened to the record to the end." The Jamaica-born singer continued: "There’s a part in the record where it’s a conversation between two people and you have one guy, which is me at that point, giving that bad advice, like, ‘Yo, bro, how could you get caught? Just tell her, ‘It wasn’t me', and then at the end, the guy says, 'I’m going to tell her that I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused.' "'I’ve been listening to your reasoning, it makes no sense at all. Going to tell her that I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused. You might think that you’re a player, but you’re completely lost'." Shaggy concluded: "Nobody hears that part! That’s what the song says." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Shaggy - It Wasn't Me (Video) www.youtube.com It comes after the star sets off on his tour across the US and Canada, joined by the likes of TLC, En Vogue and Sean Kingston. "These are all people I personally have worked with before and know. Sean and me — that's my island boy. I've known him for years," he told the publication. "It is really great to be on the bill with these wonderful ladies. I did Europe with En Vogue, I think on two occasions. Shaggy continued: "As far as TLC is concerned, I've done like eight shows last year in America with them, and there was a massive turnout. I think Live Nation liked the idea of us and them together."

LONDON (Reuters) -Prince Harry will become the first British royal to appear in the witness box since the 1890s when

Chrissy Teigen has left fans riveted after explaining the shocking discovery of an unknown “identical twin”. In a video shared to Instagram, the model and entrepreneur said she'd had an “insane 24 hours” after attempting to find out more about her past and family history. Teigen explained that her doctor and therapist supported her doing a 23andMe test that might help reveal more about her health. She continued: “I paid for some of the upgrades and the first thing that came up, after I found out that I was part Neanderthal, was this – I have an identical twin.” The discovery that she had a twin with a “100 per cent” DNA match left Tiegen “spiralling” and scrambling for answers. She explained that she messaged the identical twin via the website, spoke to 23andMe’s customer service robot, and messaged her dad to find out if she really had a twin she knew nothing about. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Her father confirmed there was just one baby that came out, but when she called her sister, she said her deep gasp had her believing she does have a long-lost twin. Teigen said: “At this point, I’m making excuses for my whole life. I’m like, this is why I’m so co-dependent because my twin was ripped away from me.” Eventually, though, the mystery was solved with the help of Tiegen’s sister’s good memory. “My sister was like, ‘Chrissy, no remember when you were supposed to do that show [about] finding your roots and so they had us all take DNA tests and they put it under secret names so the world couldn’t tell’.” She explained that the show never aired and she had forgotten all about taking the test, but realised she had simply matched with herself. “My identical twin was myself. I was matching myself,” Teigen revealed. One fan commented: “LOL I was on the EDGGGGEEE of my seat this entire story.” Another wrote: “Lol omg what a journey.” Have your say in our news democracy.
