Must Do Tour in Trabzon!

I had a fantastic day tour today visiting many different sites near Trabzon. We started our day with a drive down to Sümela Monastery where we learned all about the history of the area. We then visited Karaca Cave, drove down Zigana Pass, and made our way to Torul SkyWalk Terrace before stopping for an amazing local lunch. We finished our day at Hamsiköy Village for some delightful rice pudding. Shamil was an absolutely incredible guide. He is personable, informative, and passionate about his work. I cannot recommend this tour anymore! One thing to note is that you should be sure to bring cash as some of the entrance tickets can only be purchased with Turkish lira.

Unforgettable 5-days Eastern Black Sea tour experience in Trabzon.

Unforgettable experience in Trabzon. I remember the welcome at the airport by Irem and the driver, Mr Hussain until the check-in at the Funda Hotel, Trabzon. The hotel itself is spectacular facing the Black Sea and walking distance to Meydan. The next day, my tour started with the sightseeing in the Trabzon city. The following days, I, accompanied by experienced tour guide, Shamil and Mr Hussain visited further to Uzungol, Rize, Ayder and Sumela Monastery in Macka. Throughout the multi-days tour, I'd visited many beautiful sightseeing areas with some chay/coffee breaks. I appreciate that Zenofon proceeded the booking eventhough it was only myself in the tour (due to low season). Only 1 day I was joined by other tourists. Both Shamil and Mr Hussain were very professional, punctual and really helpful in accommodating to my request. Thank you so much! Highly recommended Zenofon Tour!

Taylor Swift, Dublin night 2 review: Fans star as Eras tour lights up the Aviva

Taylor Swift on stage at the Aviva stadium where she began her concert with a medley of songs from the Lovers Era. Picture: Chani Anderson

The last time Taylor Swift was in Dublin came at one of the lowest ebbs in her seemingly ever-ascendant career. Two nights at Croke Park, just over six years ago, were far from sold out, coming off the back of the mixed reception to Reputation . 

Since then, there have been five new studio albums and four vaunted ‘Taylor’s Versions’ rerecords of her older albums, That’s a rough total of 225 songs, new and old, since Swift was last in Ireland. It’s a lot to digest, maximalist fan service.

And yet she’s never been bigger. All those albums, bar 2019’s Lover , came out post-March 2020, when the pandemic left us desperate for live shows (Swift notes as much on Saturday night). We all entered different, er, eras - Swift’s saw her change sound and recruit The National’s Aaron Dessner as co-producer for folklore/evermore . New fans and renewed critical acclaim followed. 

Her first stadium tour since Reputation , The Eras Tour began in March 2023 and was a sensation across the US last year. It’s the highest-grossing tour in history, the first to pass $1bn. Simply put, Taylor Swift returns to Dublin the biggest act on the planet. 

Now, she could have done a week of sold-out Croke Park shows. Instead she’s settled for three nights at the 50,000-capacity Aviva Stadium. Home to the Ireland men’s soccer and rugby teams, it has probably never seen such joy as this weekend’s trio of gigs (apologies to Stephen Kenny). Sequins, pink cowboy hats, glitter, gems colourful cowboy boots, and bracelets - so many beaded friendship bracelets - are the order of the day, inside and outside the venue.

And everybody knows what’s coming after Paramore (what an interesting career Hayley Williams has had) complete support duties: Swift’s show lasts over three hours and 15 minutes, takes in more than 44 songs, and stretches as far back as her hopeful second album Fearless , pulling tracks from across her Eras. Everyone has their own favourites they’re counting down to (well, after ‘All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)’) and the ones they’re planning the toilet break for. 

We knew 1989 was full of bangers but the way it follows the folklore/evermore era - a bit of a yawn during the show, to be honest - make 'Style', 'Blank Space', and 'Shake it Off' sound like the best songs in the world by comparison. Of course, Swift released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department , in April. It sounded like she was coasting. Live, the songs are fine, 'Who's Afraid of Little Old Me', with its moving podium, is the highlight.

As for Taylor Swift herself, she's magnetic, strutting down the walkway that divides the pitch. There's nobody better at pointing, she extols the virtues of Ireland (particularly how folklore just feels like an album written here), and you simply can't look away from her, even though it feels like there are times when she is giving it less than she could. 

She butters us up too, explaining during the folklore era: "I just think that all the themes in folklore , how I imagined the album world looking — Ireland, storytelling, lots of different characters. You guys have that on lock too, that's very Irish, the storytelling. When I was making the album, it was two days into the pandemic that I started writing folklore , and I wasn't in Ireland, so I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go every single day when I was writing it, gotta be honest, it kinda seemed like Ireland. So we're back where we belong. Conceptually, folklore , we can all agree, just belongs with you guys." 

But it’s the fans who are the star of the show. It’s incredibly loud from the start and never lets up. The 'Cruel Summer' bridge ("I love you ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?") is incredible. 'Love Story' is beautiful.

The cry of ‘fuck the patriarchy’ from ‘All Too Well’ is life-affirming. The cheer after the ho-hum 'Champagne Problems' was something else, though. It's unbelievable. A security guard agrees that he's never heard anything like it before. There's nothing like the cries of a pop audience. If only we could bottle it up.

Like Marvel fans predicting/dissecting end-credit sequences, the ‘surprise songs’ that precede the Midnights closing segment are feverishly anticipated. Friday night got ‘Sweet Nothing’, namechecking Wicklow. Saturday got a song she says she's never done live before — 'The Albatross', with a little bit of 'Dancing with our Hands Tied' thrown in for good measure, 'This Love', and 'Ours'.

The Eras Tour finishes up at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday night and is set to wrap up in Canada in December. The millions of fans who experienced it will never forget it. Like Taylor Swift sings on '22', it feels like a perfect night.

Review | Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Hot Girl Summer’ Tour

The Texas Born Rapper Rounded Up All the L.A. Hotties to Celebrate Hot Girl Summer at Her Sold Out Crypto Arena Show

“HOTTIESSS GET READY TO COME HAVE SOME FUN WITH ME AT THEE HOT GIRL SUMMER TOUR.”

That was how Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion announced her very first stadium tour on March 13, 2024. It was in typical Megan, or as her fans (aforementioned Hotties) call her, Hot Girl Coach, fashion: loud, proud, and hot. When I first read the caption, all I could think about, besides my excitement, was how this seemingly playful and innocuous announcement had, actually, been a long time coming.

Megan Thee Stallion first gained mainstream traction with her massive hit “Hot Girl Summer” in 2019, a song that became so huge, it was a term I heard being used quite often with friends from every social sector of my life that year. In 2020, Megan earned two Billboard Hot 100 number one hits with “Savage” (featuring her longtime idol and massive superstar/fellow Texas native Beyoncé), and Cardi B’s “WAP.” She then went on to win multiple Grammys, including the coveted Best New Artist .

However, despite a meteoric career rise, Megan Thee Stallion has not gotten to where she is now without an unusual amount of poorly timed obstacles. In 2020, she was shot in the foot by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez. The shooting was covered on many major news outlets, and Megan processed a lot of the trauma she had to deal with in her later work. Lanez was later convicted on all counts in relation to the attack on her in 2022. After the trial, Megan then entered a prolonged legal dispute with her record label. In the aftermath, Megan Thee Stallion left her team at 300 Entertainment in 2023 and went independent. And despite these changes happening at the start of an exponentially growing time in her career, Megan has not stopped creating quality, inspired music. She’s also maintained a loyal fanbase, as shown by her sold out show at Crypto Arena in Los Angeles this past week.

In a fiery stage setup, Megan Thee Stallion took the stage with her new song “HISS,” a diss track allegedly aimed towards fellow rapper Nicki Minaj. Aptly titled, the track is full of venomous lines such as, “these hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” which confronts the fact that Minaj’s husband is a registered sex offender . She glided over the beats of her songs with ease, while simultaneously seamlessly performing full choreography. Megan played all of her hits with an ecstatic energy, leading the chanting crowd along with her as she rapped the verses. Highlights included “Thot Shit,” “Freak Nasty,” “Plan B,” and “Girls in the Hood,” the latter a viral internet hit where she boasts “I’m a hot girl, I do hot shit, spend his income on my outfit.”

The moment in the show that the crowd was clearly most passionate about was when she started “WAP,” rapping “pay my tuition just to kiss me on this wet ass pussy” as she twerked and beamed towards the audience. It was at once hilarious, insanely fun, and a total party, all in one. She then played a few more of her biggest hits, including “Don’t Stop” and “Body” before ending the evening on “Savage.” Confetti shot into the air as she playfully rapped, “I taste like sugar, but ain’t shit sweet, mwah,” then ended with her hand in the air, striking a pose for the crowd as the stadium erupted into cheers.

The thing about Megan Thee Stallion that made me a true fan was how outward her love of herself extended. During the show, Megan repeatedly encouraged the crowd to cheer for themselves, at one point yelling out: “If you love your body just the way it is, make some noise! If you love yourself just the way you are, make some noise! Make some noise for yourself!” She later invited audience members onto the stage with her, showering them with compliments. From these moments, as well as her socials and in interviews, she seems to not only know how great she is, but also constantly acknowledge that everyone else has greatness inside of them as well. It’s a confidence that supersedes the self; one that is unmoving because it stems from the firm belief that she is that great, because everyone is that great. It’s powerful, indisputable, and directed toward all people as opposed to just oneself.

And while being confident has long, since the beginning, been part of the Hot Girl Coach’s brand, through the thick of adversity that Megan Thee Stallion has not only worked through but conquered and risen above, Megan is embodying what she preaches at an entirely new level. She’s proving that you can still be all the things she encourages everyone to be, even through the worst and most unfair moments in life.

And she does it all while twerking (astonishingly well).

Music and concerts | review: has mick jagger slowed down are the rolling stones past it not yet.

For most of the next two hours, Jagger nearly single-handedly carried the concert. He defied the limitations often associated with his 80-year age and refused to mail in a single verse. Questions about the Stones’ predictability, purpose and joyfulness aside, the physically fit singer continues to take performance as seriously as anyone in the business. He nailed his deliveries, projected enthusiasm, embodied determination and gave a master class in the art of animated dance moves. AARP, the tour sponsor, couldn’t have dreamt up a better advertisement.

Playing the 40th Chicago concert of their career and the first local gig without their late drummer Charlie Watts (who died in 2021), the Stones frequently needed the boost. The impossible task of succeeding Watts fell to the talented Steve Jordan, whose collaborative relationship with guitarist Keith Richards stretches back to the Reagan era. In a possible nod to Watts’ famously keen fashion style, Jordan sported a smart suit and black sunglasses. He knew the parts inside-out, though his approach — slightly busier and heavier, with less swing, glide and refinement than the jazz-leaning Watts — altered the rhythmic structures in ways obvious to anyone with a history of seeing the band.

Still, as they say, the show must go on. Nearly 35 years after they mounted a comeback trek that prompted some critics to crack wise about their ages in the context of rock ‘n’ roll, the Rolling Stones keep on keepin’ on, in spite of internal issues, health setbacks and mortality. In the face of endless, cliched stories that lazily incorporate their song titles (“The Last Time,” “It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)”). Their persistence — along with their ubiquitous classics and iconic tongue-and-lips logo — have made the Stones the most widely identifiable rock group in history.

In many ways, the Stones are as much a brand as a band, and one that apparently never goes out of style. Modeled by chic young adults, the vast array of apparel hawked on their website gives fashion houses a run for their money. While Taylor Swift inspires headlines about boosting local economies and altering countries’ inflation rates, the Stones remain a box-office juggernaut that regularly grosses upwards of $10 million per gig. This after creating the blueprint for stadium tours in the late ’80s.

Lineup alterations aside, little regarding the Stones has changed since they released their last great album (“Tattoo You”) in 1981. The primary differences today concern the environment in which the group operates. The concept of selling out no longer exists. Rock ‘n’ roll ceded its dominance to hip hop and pop decades ago. Standalone artists overtook groups in terms of star power. Consider: You don’t even need all the fingers on one hand to count how many bands formed since the dawn of the 21st century can fill a hockey arena for two shows.

Indeed, the sense that the imitable combination of sound, interplay and chemistry that transpired on the grand if somewhat minimalist Soldier Field stage might soon be difficult to come by seemed lost on no one — including the last three core Stones themselves and their supporting cast, particularly longtime keyboardist Chuck Leavell and Chicago native Darryl Jones, whose full-bodied bass lines provided a steadying element when other aspects wavered.

Sticking to the center of the stage, tufts of white-and-gray hair struggling to emerge beyond his trademark headband, Richards occasionally appeared reticent and noncommittal. The 80-year-old looked as if he’d slowed. He struck noticeably sour notes on “Start Me Up,” adopted a perfunctory stance during his vocal lead on a flat “Tell Me Straight” and required several songs to find his footing. Yet Richards’ personalized technique — he navigated by feeling, read what the material demanded and reacted accordingly, ignoring timing and placement conventions — corresponded to a manner of disciplined improvisation that can only be shaped over decades of experience.

When it sparked, his rapport with fellow guitarist Ron Wood gave diehards visions of a more youthful past and newer fans a reason to savor the moments when the duo locked into a groove and held tight. Jabbing and scraping their instruments’ strings, Richards and Wood juggled decay and distortion and communicated with scuffed tones, squawking riffs and sharp, twangy fills. The grittiest of their output doubled as rude interjections (“Little T&A”), R&B rejoinders (“Tumbling Dice”), clarion calls (“Jumpin’ Jack Flash”) and booze-soaked lures (“Honky Tonk Women”).

As expected, the Stones leveraged familiarity to their advantage. Along with one fan-selected song (a watered-down “She’s a Rainbow”) and one dusted-off gem (a reggae-tinted “Get Off of My Cloud”), four songs from their recent “Hackney Diamonds” LP cracked a setlist anchored by the same hits the group has featured for eons. Nothing released between 1981 and 2023 made the cut. Yes, people pay big bucks to hear favorites. But why not tackle one of the other seldom-played numbers (“Bite My Head Off,” “Fool to Cry,” “She’s So Cold”) that lost the popular vote? Or toss a couple of known albeit deeper tracks into the mix?

Instead, the energetic and attitudinal antidote to the pervasive politeness stemmed from Jagger. Adorned in black jeans, and modeling an assortment of jackets and shirts, the livewire singer justified the presence of both the stage’s short runway and extended wings. He strutted, waggled, pointed, shimmied, shuffled, summoned, pouted, preened and vogued. His petite hips turned on an imaginary swivel; his loose shoulders flirted with joint dislocation; his restless hands flapped as if trying to shake off a tingling numbness.

Save for the 15 minutes he went backstage and let Richards handle the microphone, Jagger alternated between the roles as singer, cheerleader, MC, jokester — he deemed the evening’s presidential debate “Viagarapalooza” — and storyteller. He touched on the band’s first trip to Chicago in 1964 and fortune at meeting its idols (Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Chuck Berry) at Chess Records. He failed to mention that the studio sat about a mile from where he currently stood, or that the Stones recorded a batch of songs while there. Too bad the group didn’t play one of them as a full-circle tribute.

The closest the Rolling Stones got to musically acknowledging the city’s blues impact on their fare arrived during a tease of “Sweet Home Chicago” amid a harmonica-laden run-through of “Midnight Rambler.” The circa-1969 tune emerged as one of the few that hinted at its original menace. Another, a long-fuse reading of “Gimme Shelter,” also of ‘69 vintage, benefitted from the fiery participation and soulful blare of backup vocalist Chanel Haynes.

“War, children,” Jagger and Haynes sang, conscious of the ominous warnings that followed. “It’s just a shot away.” For the briefest instant, all the years and wrinkles melted away, and the Stones were again ragtag British dissidents spreading and sounding an urgent alarm amid an ever-tumultuous global climate. Godspeed.

Tour de France 2024 live stream: Can you watch for free?

The unquestioned biggest race in cycling is back, with the top riders in the world set to take on the 2024 Tour de France. For the first time in 111th editions of the race, the finish will be in Nice instead of Paris, as the latter prepares to host the quickly upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics.

Watch the Tour de France 2024 live stream on Peacock

Can you watch the tour de france 2024 live stream for free, watch the tour de france 2024 live stream from abroad.

The race starts with Stage 1 on Saturday, June 29, at 6:30 a.m. ET. In the United States, you can watch on Peacock (live coverage of every stage), NBC (live coverage of a few stages) or TV5Monde (French-speaking coverage of every stage).

If you don’t have cable or you’re just looking for more information, here’s a complete rundown of all the different ways you can watch a live stream of the 2024 Tour de France in the U.S.

This is the far-and-away best option for watching the Tour de France in the United States. The reasoning isn’t exactly complicated, either. If you want to watch every single stage live, and if you want to watch in English, then Peacock is the only  way to do that in the U.S.

Unfortunately, there’s no free trial. Fortunately, you only need the basic “Premium” tier to watch, and that will only cost you $6 for a month (or a slightly discounted $60 for the whole year). That’s well worth it for the Tour de France by itself, but you’ll also be able to watch the upcoming Summer Olympics, other live sports and hundreds of hours of TV shows and movies.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal in streaming right now.

If you’re intent on watching a free live stream of the Tour de France, Fubo is undoubtedly your best option. It includes NBC, which will have live coverage of a few stages, but what we’re really interested in here is the TV5Monde channel, a French-language channel that will broadcast each stage of the race (some may be live, some may be on a tape delay).

TV5Monde is available by itself as an add-on to Fubo’s main channel package, and it can be included in your free seven-day trial. Of course, you need to be OK watching in French, and this still won’t get you the whole race for free (Fubo gets a bit pricey after the free trial), but it’s a nice option if you’re dead-set on watching a few stages without paying anything.

That’s not all. If you’ve used up your Fubo free trial , you can also get TV5Monde through Sling TV . The “French Bouquet” channel package–which can be found through the “International” tab on the top of Sling’s website–includes TV5Monde and is currently available for free for your first seven days (just $15 per month after that).

If you’re outside the United States, there may be some other international live-stream options available to you. But if that’s not the case, you can potentially watch the race with the help of a virtual private network (VPN). Peacock, Fubo and Sling are US-only, but a VPN can hide your location and make it look like you’re actually located in the US, thus allowing you to access these streaming services from abroad.

We’ve compiled a list of the the best VPN services and the best VPN deals , but if you’re looking for somewhere to start,  NordVPN is a good place to do that. It’s easily one of the top VPN’s out there, plus it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out free of risk.

After coming up seven goals short in their bid for a first-ever Stanley Cup, the Florida Panthers return home for Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers tonight. The Panthers are still certainly in control of the series, but a loss here would make things significantly more uneasy, as the series would then head back to Edmonton for a Game 6.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup is about to begin, at 8:00 p.m. ET. If you live in the United States and want to watch, it will be televised on ABC, but if you don't have cable and would rather watch a live stream, there are also a bevy of different ways you can stream the NHL playoffs.

If you're new to boxing and want to catch all the bouts from the biggest stars in the sport, we can help you find the best and cheapest ways to watch boxing online. It can get complicated. Fighters are tied to specific promoters who are tied to specific streaming sites. The days of Friday night fights on network TV are long gone.

There are two main ways boxing is streamed: Pay-per-view fights and fights included in a monthly subscription. When a fight is a PPV, there's no way of getting around that fee. Some sites give subscribers a discount on the PPV price, but when you include subscription fees it ultimately costs the same. We'll be sure to show you the best ways to watch PPV boxing matches when they happen, but right now we'll focus on the various subscription services that give you access to regular fights.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) is making his long awaited return to the ring this weekend. In June of 2023 he got a decisive win over Ryan Garcia in the highest-selling PPV event since Mayweather-McGregor. Garcia took a knee after a crippling liver shot and couldn't beat the count. Davis has since spent a short stint in prison, which calls into question his readiness for the fight. Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) is undefeated and may try to take advantage of Davis' long layoff.

The co-feature fight sees David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs), the undefeated super middleweight who has long sought a fight with Canelo Alvarez, step up to the light heavyweight division and challenge Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) for the WBC Interim belt. Gvozdyk's only defeat was to Artur Beterbiev, another potential opponent for Benavidez if he wins tonight and decides to stay in the light heavyweight division.

Music | 14-day-old vallejo boy and his mother found after suspected parental kidnapping, music | review: iconic r&b acts combine forces to kick off tour in grand fashion, swv, xscape launched queens of r&b tour in concord.

And the show turned out to be as great, and maybe even better, than fans could have hoped for, as the two trios mixed and matched songs — and, most wonderfully, occasionally shared vocals — during the course of a thoroughly entertaining co-headlining set that touched on (at least parts of) some 30 songs.

Fans who are planning to catch this tour — also featuring fellow ’90s R&B favorites Mya, 702 and Total — as it continues through other parts of the country, before winding to a close at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Aug. 18, should expect to have a ball.

That’s because, only one night into the run, this SWV-Xscape package is shaping up to be the R&B roadshow to beat in 2024 .

One could feel the energy of the occasion well before they got to the Pavilion, as cars inched along Kirker Pass Road and passengers prepped for the show with shared laughter, smiles and passionate vocal work. Even though the traffic was horrendous, causing the Pavilion to use its overflow parking and shuttle service, people still seemed to be in a great mood (even though, in many cases, it caused them to miss some/many of the acts who were listed lower on the bill).

Yet, SWV and Xscape would make dealing with the traffic and parking issues feel very much worthwhile as they two acts combined for a performance that felt so different — and so much more vibrant — then what we often get with co-headlining treks.

Instead of the usual approach of the top two artists simply putting on their own sets of music — and perhaps rotating who gets to close the show each night — these two iconic R&B trios completely sewed their sets together and constantly volleyed the spotlight between them.

Xscape — featuring Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Harris and Tamika Scott — would appear for a few minutes, running through such favorites as “Feels So Good,” “Can’t Hang” and “Keep On, Keepin’ On.” Then SWV — consisting of  Tamara “Taj” George, Cheryl “Coko” Gamble and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons — would pop up and croon through the likes of “I’m So Into You” and “Right Here.”

Of course, this kind of a show doesn’t work — at all — if the groups don’t jell well onstage. Fortunately, SWV and Xscape songs flow together like a masterful ’90s mixtape and, just as importantly, the two teams seem to like each other and enjoy combining forces.

It’s the latter that may surprise viewers of the 2023’s “SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B,” a reality TV mini-series on the Bravo channel that focused on the two acts as they prepped for a big tour. The two sides had a massive falling out during the show — fueled by the regular celebrity trappings of ego and trash talk — which left viewers with the impression that SWV and Xscape probably wouldn’t be sending each other Christmas cards anytime soon, let alone hitting the road together.

The two sides eventually talked things out, clearing the air as well as the runway to embarking on the road with the Queens of R&B Tour in 2024.

The result is that fans can now witness a show that has so much going for it — from a two-level stage that offers up plenty of zippy video elements to an energetic dance team to a steady supply of cool wardrobe changes.

Yet, none of that is nearly as important as the amazing vocal work that you get to hear during the course of the set. All six of star vocalists sound great, nicely conveying the same type of emotion and conviction that fans first enjoyed way back on their respective debut albums (Xscape’s “Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha” in 1993, SWV’s “It’s About Time” in 1992).

They sounded terrific in their own individual spotlights, as Xscape relived such triumphs as “Who Can I Run To” and “My Little Secret” and SWV brought back the likes of “Right Here” and “You’re Always on My Mind.”

Yet, the most memorable moments came when the two vocal crews took the stage together, with six voices joining in glorious harmony to lift up 13,000 fans on the Clark sisters powerful gospel number “You Brought the Sunshine (Into My Life),” the gorgeous Xscape ballad “The Arms of the One Who Loves You” and the fun show-closing cover of Lil’ Kim’s “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix).”

Setlist: 1. “Can We” 2. “Feels So Good” 3. “Can’t Hang” 4. “Keep On, Keepin’ On” 5. “I’m So Into You” 6. “Right Here” 7. “Love on My Mind” 8 “What’s Up” 9. “Don’t Think I’m Not” 10. “You’re the One” 11. “You’re Always on My Mind” 12. “Use Your Heart” 13. “My Little Secret” 14. “Hold On” 15. “The Arms of the One Who Loves You” 16. “Is My Living in Vain” 17. “You Brought the Sunshine (Into My Life)” 18. “It’s About Time” 19. “Downtown” 20. “Softest Place on Earth” 21. “Do You Want To” 22. “If Only You Knew” 23. “Tonight” 24. “Rain” 25. “Who Can I Run To” 26. “Weak” 27. “Anything” 28. “Understanding” 29. “Just Kicking It” 30. “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix)”

Taylor Swift in the Aviva review: ‘You know this but nobody does it like you Dublin’

The exhilarating and riveting three hour-plus concert in dublin 4 thrillingly confirms the us singer as an artist who comes along just once in an era.

Taylor Swift

Aviva stadium, dublin.

Taylor Swift gets straight to the point as her Eras tour finally reaches Dublin . “It’s been a long time coming,” she sings, having materialised amid a blur of peacock-bright dancers, wearing a rainbow jumpsuit that sparkles in the soft evening light. How right she is: Swiftmania has hurtled around the world since the singer began her blockbusting greatest hits show in Arizona last year and now it at last reaches the Aviva Stadium, making landfall in a roiling wave of tears and cheers.

With chalky clouds bunched above Dublin, Swift appears on a glittering walkway just after 7.15pm, negotiating her autumnal ballad Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince. The song is one of her darker numbers but at the Aviva it is received as a ray of light by the 50,000 or so lucky enough to obtain tickets for the first of three sold-dates at the venue (where celebs in attendance include a Graham Norton, Brian O’Driscoll and Amy Huberman and a back-from-abroad  Ryan Tubridy) .

Not since the glory days of Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Madonna has a pop star so completely owned their moment as Swift has in 2024. As she begins her exhilarating and riveting three hour-plus concert in Dublin 4, the sense of occasion is almost too huge to quantify. In the city centre, Swift fans have made their presence felt since morning, while the 3Arena, which Swift headlined in 2015, has been converted into a huge merchandise stall, where Swifties have patiently queued for T-shirts and tote bags.

‘The experience is almost otherworldly’: at Taylor Swift with the Tortured Dads Department

Swift and Ireland have some history. She first played Dublin in March 2011 on the Speak Now tour, clocking in with a piffling 13 tunes (compared with the 45 or so she negotiates at the Aviva) while in 2021 she is believed to have lived for a number of months in a converted a 200-year-old coach-house near Ranelagh in Dublin. She also participated in the sacred Irish ritual of entering a GAA club lotto draw when she spent Christmas 2018 at Glin Castle in Limerick.

Wicklow receives top billing in the Swiftie Irish power rankings however having been name checked in Sweet Nothing from 2022′s Midnights. She’ll come around to that album later in the night – but the focus at the start of the performance, literally divided into the different “eras” of her career, is her 2019 LP, Lover.

“Oh hi,” she says before diving into Cruel Summer, her dreamy epic that shines amid the gathering gloom. Then it’s headlong into her 17 years as a songwriter, as she moves from the high-school angst of You Belong With Me and Love Story, from Fearless, to her masterpiece Red and the jilted fury on I Knew You Were Trouble and All Too Well – her magisterial lament which she stretches out to a seismic 10 minutes .

“You know this but nobody does it like you,” Swift tells the Dublin crowd early in the evening, perhaps buttered up by the flowers U2 have sent to her hotel. “I’m already seeing people in the audience who should be winning awards for their performances. Up on stage we’re all going, ‘this is going to be a fun night’. Backstage I could tell you guys were already going insane.”

The compliments have just begun. She scratches us under the chin all over again when dipping into her folk-infused pandemic long players, Folklore and Evermore.

“Irish people out are such good storytellers, the folklore from Ireland is unmatched ... It may be 50 per cent you just have the best accents,” Swift says before uncorking one of the highlights of the set – a thunderously hushed Champagne Problems.

Darkness has descended when she arrives at her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. A break-up record written in the aftermath of her split from long-term boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, Swift has dubbed this portion of the evening “Female Rage: The Musical” – though the mood on Down Bad and Fortnight is more lingering sadness than anger. This is followed by a “surprise song” segment, where she reaches for deep cut State of Grace from Red and, finally, a concluding twirl through the best of Midnights.

As one banger follows another, the production is the equal to the music. The catwalk extending into the audience swirls with colour. Dancers romp and weave – one goes so far as to shout “póg mo thóin!” at the end of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

The most impressive special effect is Swift herself. Her multitude of costume swaps see her transform from prom queen to boot-stomping pop diva and, during the Evermore segment, a sort of Brothers Grimm prog-rock wood elf; for the 1989 portion of the evening she meanwhile goes all in with a three-piece outfit patterned after the Irish flag.

These wardrobe changes provide a breather for Swift but even more so for the crowd who spend most of the evening on their feet, shrieking, swooning and taking selfies. It’s an outpouring of fandom astonishing to behold, delightful to be swept up in – and which thrillingly confirms Swift as an artist who comes along just once in an era.

Euro 2024: spain vs. georgia odds, picks and predictions, share this article.

Spain battles Georgia in the Round of 16 of Euro 2024 from Cologne Stadium in Koln, Germany Sunday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Spain vs. Georgia odds , and make our best Euro 2024 bets, picks and predictions .

Spain is among the favorites to win the tournament at +440 — only behind England (+320) and Germany (+390). Spain started its Euro action off with a bang, throttling Croatia 3-0. It beat Italy 1-0 and Albania 1-0 to round out its group stage play. It was the only team in the event to win all 3 group stage matches. Spain, which is No. 8 in the FIFA World Rankings, is led by an ultra-talented midfield of Rodri , Pedri , and Fabián Ruiz . Spain went 2-1-1 in 4 friendlies prior to Euro 2024.

Georgia finished 3rd in Group F, which was won by Portugal. In its 3 stage matches, Georgia scored 4 goals and gave up 4 goals while posting a 1-1-1 record. It beat Portugal 2-0, drew Czechia 1-1 and lost to Turkey 3-1. F Georges Mikautadze , who plays for Metz, scored in each of Georgia’s last 2 matches.

• Moneyline: Spain -600 (bet $600 to win $100) | Georgia +1500 (bet $100 to win $1,500) | Draw +600 (bet $100 to win $600)
• Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -156 | U: +128)

Spain vs. Georgia picks and predictions

Spain 2, Georgia 0

Moneyline  (ML)

While there are teams like England which might struggle in the Round of 16 despite being a strong favorite, Spain (-1500) isn’t likely to be one of them. It dominated Croatia and beat both Italy and Albania in the group stage. That type of consistency is impressive.

Spain beat Georgia 3-1 in the final matchday of the Euro qualifiers in November, and ended with 76% of the possession in that match. It has the technical excellence to win and should do so with ease. However, at these odds, it isn’t worth any play.

Over/Under  (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+ 128 ).

Spain’s defense is among the best in the world, and it has played like it recently. Spain hasn’t allowed a goal in its last 270 minutes. Spain only allowed 1 goal in its last 5 matches. Along its defensive line is 32-year-old Real Madrid D Dani Carvajal , who has played at a high level. Spain has gone Under this total in 2 straight matches and in 3 of its last 6.

Georgia, which had just 1 shot on frame against Spain in the November match, went Under this total in 2 of its 3 group stage games. It went Under this total in 4 of its last 6 games and has allowed just 1 goal in its last 180 minutes (2 matches).

Considering the success both sides had defensively, BACK UNDER 2.5 (+ 128 ).
