20 ways Taylor Swift reshaped pop culture in her own vision

Where it all began Released two decades ago, Taylor Swift’s debut single seemed, at first glance, like a simple ode to music’s memory-making magic. It captured how a favourite song can instantly return you to the moment you first heard it. Naming the track after country star Tim McGraw, Swift addressed an ex who had moved on, singing: “When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think of me.” Over time, her songwriting strength and commanding presence ensured that, for many listeners, the name now

Trump unveils an unexpected stance on rising living costs: ‘I’m a fan of inflation’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday offered a strikingly upbeat reaction to rising prices, signaling that he has chosen, as he put it, to “love” inflation rather than fear it. When questioned about a new report showing the consumer price index rose 4.2% in May compared with a year earlier, the president responded with unexpected optimism. He did not wave off concerns about affordability as a partisan invention, nor did he argue that living costs were already falling. Instead,

Discover how your salary measures up against the CEOs of America’s leading companies

Chief executive pay climbed by almost 6% in 2025, reaching an average of $17.7 million, as corporate boards rewarded leaders for increasing profits and delivering stronger returns to shareholders.

Crimea under Russian control struggles with fuel shortages as Ukrainian drone strikes intensify

SEVASTOPOL, Crimea, June 10 – Residents in Russian-controlled Crimea were dealing with fuel rationing on Wednesday after Ukrainian drone strikes disrupted deliveries from mainland Russia, according to a Reuters witness.

He had arrived at just 26 weeks of pregnancy, weighing a mere 940 grams (2 pounds), and his diapers were no bigger than an adult’s palm. “The doctors told me that if he could make it through the first three days, he would be all right,” she recalled, her eyes filling with tears. “I don’t believe in God, but I found myself praying.” Now 9 months old, Mark is spirited and active, yet he

‘I don’t think we’ve ever been this close’: five writers reflect on their most unforgettable family vacations

‘Exploring Finland with our baby was a delight’ Finland has topped the world happiness rankings for years, but when I landed in Helsinki on one of my first flights with our nine-month-old, global accolades were the last thing on my mind. I was rumpled, tired and dreaming of sleep. My husband, Jake, and I had finally emerged from the blur of early parenthood and dared to imagine a trip abroad. My hopes were modest: a cold beer at sunset, a wander among trees, a few uninterrupted pages of a

A family getaway on four legs: donkey trekking through the Spanish Pyrenees

Legend has it that the 19th-century Parisian flâneur, determined not to hurry past the delights of the boulevard, would walk with a tortoise on a leash to slow his stride. That image came back to me as my donkey lowered his head for yet another thistle and I paused to take in the panorama while he chewed. In every direction, mountain ridges faded into layers of pale, misty blue. There was nothing to hear but the wind, the sharp whistles of marmots and the laughter of my two small children. I

‘A feast for €12’: my hunt for the ultimate classic Turin trattoria

Turin is often described as one of Italy’s most exacting food capitals, shaped first by the refined tastes of the House of Savoy and later by the philosophy of the slow food movement. That heritage lives on in its grand cafés and historic restaurants, where dining can feel elegant and ceremonial. Yet that is only one side of the city. As a local, I’m far more attached to a humbler institution: the piòla. Piòle were never true restaurants. They were modest places to drink a glass of barbera,

“How far back would you like to go?” Paul McCartney asks as we sit side by side on a small sofa in his office overlooking London’s Soho Square. The space carries a deep, resinous scent with something faintly churchlike in the air. A large green glass candle rests on the windowsill, and beyond it plane trees shimmer in the bright early afternoon light. McCartney purchased the building in 1974, and it has long housed his publishing company and various creative ventures. On another floor, members
