Bringing the Flavor to Detroit! Flavor Flav Attends Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’
Celebrity Swifties! Several of Taylor Swift’s famous friends and fans showed up to shake it off at the singer’s much-anticipated The Eras Tour. The stars of Swift’s “Bejeweled” music video — HAIM (Este, Danielle and Alana Haim) and Laura Dern — were among thousands of fans in attendance at the tour’s opening night in Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium on March 17, 2023, along with Emma Stone. Not to mention, several fans spotted Swift’s bestie Selena Gomez among the concert’s crowd. On top of opening for the Grammy winner’s first two performances, Paramore singer Hayley Williams stepped out into the audience to enjoy the beginning of The Eras Tour with fellow fans. Self-proclaimed “Swiftie for life” Danica Patrick shared pics from her and her friends’ night out at Swift’s first show. “We were all so in the moment that we didn’t take many pictures together and I didn’t even take that many videos,” the former NASCAR driver captioned a slideshow of photos and clips from the concert. “@taylorswift sang 44 songs and it was the most amazing concert I have ever seen.” NFL star JJ Watt also took to social media to praise Swift’s performance after attending the opening weekend with his wife, Kealia Watt, and her friends, calling the show a “spectacle to behold” in a Twitter video. “The production, the set design, the video boards, the sound quality the speakers — just, you can tell when somebody does something at the top of their game and is trying to do the right way for their fans, and this is done the right way for the people paying money to come and see her,” the former Arizona Cardinals defensive end gushed on March 19, 2023. “Just unbelievable production. It was 44 songs, three hours and fifteen minutes long, and she did not stop the whole time. There was no intermission.” In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies He continued: “And if she can do this entire tour without missing a single show, it will be unbelievably impressive.” Throughout The Eras Tour, Swift — who has been dating boyfriend Joe Alwyn since 2017 — will play 52 shows across the United States, concluding with five nights at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium in August 2023. However, for celebrities and fans alike, getting tickets to the tour became quite a challenge. Following Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan presale — which saw fans wait for hours in virtual lines in hopes of snagging tickets — the company announced via Twitter on November 17, 2022, that the tour’s general sale the following day was canceled due to “extraordinarily high demands.” Swift expressed her disappointment over the situation in a lengthy message via her Instagram Story on November 18, 2022. “Well. It goes without saying that I’m extremely protective of my fans. We’ve been doing this for decades together and over the years, I’ve brought so many elements of my career in house. I’ve done this SPECIFICALLY to improve the quality of my fans’ experience by doing it myself with my team who care as much about my fans as I do,” the “All Too Well” singer wrote at the time. “It’s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse.” Going on to state that Ticketmaster claimed they could handle the expected high demand, Swift concluded her post on an optimistic note: “And to those who didn’t get tickets, all I can say is that my hope is to provide more opportunities for us to all get together and sing these songs. Thank you for wanting to be there. You have no idea how much that means.” Sign up for Us Weekly's free, daily newsletter and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more!

Cara! Chrishell! See How the Stars Are Celebrating Pride Month
Waving their rainbow flags proudly! Allies like Melissa McCarthy and Christine Quinn joined LGBTQ+ icons such as Tinashe and Niecy Nash-Betts for 2023 pride celebrations. Lance Bass kicked off coverage of the West Hollywood Pride Parade on June 4 by discussing what the month means to him. “There’s many things I think of with pride. One, celebration of who we are, how far we’ve come [and] honoring the ones that came before us so we are able to do this,” the singer, who has been married to Michael Turchin since 2014, explained during a KTLA’s parade broadcast. He continued, “But the temperature right now for the LGBTQIA community right now is very hostile. So pride is a protest. It started as a protest and it’s still a protest. So, as you see, there’s a lot of people standing up for what is right and protesting for what they believe in.” In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies Stars who identify as straight show their support for the queer community as well. McCarthy was honored as an “ally icon” during the WeHo event. Meanwhile, Quinn, a former star of Netflix’s Selling Sunset, shared a special message before riding in the California parade. “A phoenix rising from ashes of hate, a vibrant rainbow after the storm of intolerance. Shedding our masks, unveiling our souls resplendent in their true colors. An echo of freedom disrupting centuries of silence,” the reality star wrote via Twitter. “Today, we’re seen and celebrated. Today, our masks are off, our love is loud. A performance adorned with the nuances of who we wish to be, who we are, and the distance between. After all, isn’t everything we all do just a form of drag? .” She wasn’t the only reality star at the June 4 event. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars and besties Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke carried matching rainbow fans while being driven in a Sutton Concept convertible. While West Hollywood was 2023’s first major star-studded pride parade in the U.S., the celebrations will continue throughout the summer. New Orleans and Los Angeles are scheduled for the second weekend of June while Chicago, and Portland will be the third weekend of the month. New York City and Nashville pride celebrations will happen during the last Saturday and Sunday of the month.
