She opened the show wearing a sequined jacket and leotard, outfits familiar to the millions of fans who saw her on her Elas tour, and is set to dazzle London’s Wembley Stadium for the first of five sold-out shows.

But she just personally met with the family of a young man who was stabbed and injured at her music-themed dance class in Southport, England, a few weeks ago.

As Swift covers her face and collects tears, her mother, Andrea, tries to comfort her. Swift knows the show must go on and plans to compartmentalize her emotions for the next three and a half hours of her marathon concert.

It’s one of many amazing, unfiltered moments in Swift’s six-part documentary, The End of an Era, available on Disney+. The first two episodes will be screened by a small number of media outlets in New York earlier in the week and distributed on December 12th, with two more episodes to be distributed every Friday until December 26th.

Overall, the Atlanta Falcons made a field goal on the final play of the night, overcoming a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 29-28 and knocking the Bucks out of first place in the NFC South. The Buccaneers have lost five of their past six games since their Week 9 bye, dropping to ninth place in the conference, but their prospects of winning their fifth straight division title remain largely intact.

It was a night where the winners and losers went beyond the final result. They are:

Kyle Pitts free agent outlook

Pitts, who was drafted No. 4 overall in 2021, the earliest ever for a tight end, hasn’t exactly lived up to those lofty expectations during his five NFL seasons, but his instability as a quarterback during his tenure with the Falcons certainly hasn’t helped. But he had a career night Thursday with 11 receptions, 166 yards and three TDs, all career highs. Pitts, who is set to become a free agent early next year, certainly could have once again proven his talent on the national stage and reignited his vision of what kind of impact player he could be in the right situation.

Bijan Robinson’s Fantasy Owners

Fantasy football playoffs have begun in most leagues, and the Falcons’ tailback was probably a top-three pick in almost every league. And while a fumble in the third quarter was a minor blemish, Robinson ended up with eight receptions, 175 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. That statistic should satisfy owners across the country who aren’t paying him a penny.

After Combs’ camp condemned Sean Combs: The Reckoning as a “disgraceful hit,” Michael O’Barrys released a statement to Rolling Stone on December 10th clearing his name.

“The video in question was not released by me or by anyone authorized to handle Sean Combs’ material,” O’Barrys, who filmed for the Project Profiling Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and has worked for the rapper since 2019, told the outlet.

His statement continued: “This incident had nothing to do with a pay dispute or contract dispute. The actions of those involved reflect a lack of integrity that all storytellers should uphold. Shooting footage intended for our project to advance a story that is not ours is unethical and unacceptable.”

This is the first comment from the university since announcing Moore’s termination on Wednesday, Dec. 10, but does not mention Moore’s detention and arrest that occurred later that day.

Moore was fired after a university investigation found “credible evidence” that he had “an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.” Mr. Grasso said in his letter that Mr. Moore’s employment was immediately terminated upon presentation of the findings of the investigation on Dec. 10.

“This behavior by the University of Michigan will never be tolerated. None of it will be tolerated,” Grasso wrote. “I have been in close contact with the board and we are united in doing the right thing.

The 60-year-old man, who used the pronouns “they/them,” was struck by a car while walking in midtown Manhattan, police confirmed to USA TODAY on Dec. 10.

The New York City Police Department said in a statement that on Dec. 8, at approximately 8:45 p.m., officers responded to a report of a vehicle hitting a person. The NYPD did not identify Davis as the victim, but confirmed that the pedestrian was struck as he was walking at the intersection of West 53rd Street and Broadway.

Here’s what we know about the actor’s tragic death.

How did Wen Davies die?

Further investigation by the NYPD Highway District Collision Investigation Unit determined that a black 2023 Cadillac XT6, driven by a 61-year-old man, struck Davis “near the south crosswalk of Broadway” as the driver was turning left.

This week, Lean In and McKinsey & Company highlighted the “ambition gap” in their annual study on women in the workplace. The study found that women and men at all levels are “equally committed” to their careers and motivated to do their best work. However, women lag behind men in wanting to reach the next rung on the career ladder, with 80% of women aiming for a promotion compared to 86% of men. A study of women in the workplace found that the gap widened significantly between entry-level and senior levels.

The idea of ​​a difference in ambition was not well received on social media.

Women are not giving up on their ambitions. “They are simply opting out of a workplace tailored to the needs of men, where they have fewer responsibilities for caring for children and the elderly, can stay in the office for hours on end, can make last-minute business trips, and don’t have to shoulder the emotional or mental burdens of home,” writes Care Gap editor-in-chief Blessing Adesiyan.

“The gap is not an ambition,” she says. “The gaps are care, sponsorship, visibility, equity, flexibility, safety, and support.”

According to Adesiyan, here’s the real story behind LeanIn data: Women have fewer sponsors, less demanding jobs and promotions, are more penalized for remote and flexible work, are more likely to experience burnout, and have less job security.

Dr. Leif Fenno, chair of the American Psychiatric Association’s Council on Addiction Psychiatry, says accurate data on how powerful ecstasy has become today is difficult to come by. That’s because there is a lot of variation from pill to pill. Still, he says, some studies suggest that the amount of MDMA, a synthetic psychoactive drug, in ecstasy has increased by about 50% over the past 15 years, so it’s definitely gotten more powerful overall.

“There is wide variation in the composition of individual tablets,” Fenno says. “Some tablets contain no MDMA at all, while others have concentrations two to three times the average tablet concentration.”

Today’s ecstasy is generally much more powerful. We need to talk about it.
