Taylor Swift looks happy to fuel the Travis Kelce romance story, whether real or ‘hype’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:55:15 GMT

The very public way that Taylor Swift went about cheering Travis Kelce at his Kansas City Chiefs game Sunday, then allowed herself to be seen riding off with the football hero in a convertible, reminiscent of her alter-egos from songs like in her songs “Fifteen” or “Getaway Car,” confirmed for many that the rumored romance is real and the world is witnessing the launch of a new pop culture super couple.For others, Swift’s appearance at the game seemed a bit too staged, and they wondered if the “hype machine” surrounding the rumored romance is part of a massive PR stunt that serves Swift, Kelce or even all of the NFL, as ESPN and The New Yorker said.KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – SEPTEMBER 24: Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs talks on his phone after a game against the Chicago Bears at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri.

By Haleluya Hadero | Associated PressU.S. regulators and 17 states are suing Amazon over allegations the e-commerce behemoth abuses its position in the marketplace to inflate prices — on and off Amazon — overcharge sellers and stifle competition.The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court in Amazon’s home state of Washington, is the result of a yearslong investigation into the company’s businesses and one of the most significant legal challenges brought against it in its nearly 30-year history.The Federal Trade Commission and states that joined the lawsuit allege Amazon is violating federal and state antitrust laws. They are asking the court to issue a permanent injunction that they say would prohibit Amazon from engaging in its unlawful conduct and loosen its “monopolistic control to restore competition.”The complaint accuses the company of engaging in anti-competitive practices through measures that deter sellers from offering lower prices for products on n...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:55:15 GMT

By ADAM BEAM | Associated PressSACRAMENTO — California will double the taxes on guns and ammunition and use the money to pay for more security at public schools and various violence prevention programs under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Tuesday.The federal government already taxes the sale of guns and ammunition at either 10% or 11%, depending on the type of gun. The law Newsom signed adds another 11% tax on top of that — making it the only state with its own tax on guns and ammunition, according to the gun control advocacy group Brady.Newsom — a potential Democratic candidate for president beyond 2024 — has a reputation as one of the country’s most liberal governors. But he has often refused to raise taxes, even for causes he supports like combating climate change.But it would have been difficult for Newsom to veto this tax increase, given his outspoken support for gun restrictions at the state and national level. Newsom is in the middle of a national campaign to amend the U....

Game-changing Manhattan Transfer brings final tour to SF

The Manhattan Transfer is taking one last spin around the globe, and we will not see their likes again.Since launching in 1972 helmed by the late Tim Hauser, the vocal quartet has succeeded again and again while restlessly exploring a broad spectrum of styles, from Brazilian jazz, R&B, and pop music to a cappella and vocalese, the intricate art of setting lyrics to solos from instrumental jazz recordings.Along the way, the Transfer has picked up 11 Grammy Awards, sold millions of albums, and scored several hits, becoming part of the pop cultural landscape in a way that paved the path for a cappella stars like Pentatonix (who featured the Manhattan Transfer on a 2016 Christmas album).Following last year’s Grammy-nominated album “Fifty” featuring Cologne’s WDR Funkhausorchester, the group set out on what it’s calling a “final world tour,” which includes three concerts at the SFJAZZ Center Sept. 29-30. The ensemble’s final incarnation features two original members, alto Janis Siege...
