Taylor Swift to throw theatrical ‘release party’ for new album

Taylor Swift will usher in her “Life of a Showgirl” era with a theatrical “release party” to celebrate her new album next month.

“Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl” will hit all AMC Theatres as the hotly anticipated album drops on Oct. 3.

The limited event — which Variety describes as a theatrical spin on the “secret sessions” Swift used to host for select fans at her home — will begin simultaneously across time zones at 3 p.m. ET that day and run through Oct. 5.

The 35-year-old Grammy winner confirmed the news Friday in an Instagram Story linking to tickets at AMC as well as Cinemark and Regal theaters.

The 89-minute feature will include the debut of “The Fate of Ophelia” music video and its behind-the-scenes footage, in addition to Swift’s album commentary and lyric videos for her 12-track 12th studio album.

“While normally prohibited during traditional showtimes, AMC guests are welcome to sing and dance during ‘Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl,'” AMC said in a statement to Variety, echoing the company’s position during Swift’s theatrical “Eras Tour” screenings, which, much like the tour itself, broke records.

Permitted partying aside, AMC will not allow guests to “stand on seats or block any aisles or stairs.”

In a potential relief for theatergoers and fans alike, the screenings will begin at the exact advertised time, as neither trailers nor ads will precede the event.

While over a dozen countries will also enjoy a “release party” between Oct. 3-5 — among them Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the U.K. and Sweden — the event will be made available for over 100 countries in total. Many of the international iterations will take place later in October.

Swift’s global “Eras Tour,” which wrapped in December after 149 performances, was not just the first tour to ever gross over $1 billion, but the highest-grossing ever.

During the tour, she released “The Tortured Poets Department” and this August, announced “The Life of a Showgirl” during her podcast debut — a record-breaking appearance on now-fiancé Travis Kelce’s “New Heights.”

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Britain is lowering the voting age to 16. It’s getting a mixed reaction

By JILL LAWLESS LONDON (AP) — There has been a mixed reaction in Britain to the government’s announcement that it will lower the voting age from 18 to 16 before the next national election . The Labour Party administration says it’s part of a package of changes to strengthen British democracy and help restore trust in politics. The opposition says it’s a power-grab by the left. Experts say it’s complicated, with mixed evidence about how lowering the voting age affects democracy and election outcomes. The biggest change since the 1960s Britain’s voting age last fell in 1969, when the U.K. became one of the first major democracies to lower it from 21 to 18. Many other countries, including the United States, followed suit within a few years. Now the government says it will lower the threshold to 16 by the time the next general election is held, likely in 2029. That will bring the whole country into line with Scotland and Wales, which have semiautonomous governments and already let 1...
