'I've never had a recording experience like I did making this song. It's one vocal and guitar take from start to finish — one live performance of me and my friend Simon Aldred in a pure state of music and expression,' Smith shared. 'I wrote it five years ago while writing my last album 'Gloria' and then parked it because I knew it was not a song for that album. It was created during a time in my life where I became free within myself.'
In regards to the residency, Smith claimed 'This residency is something I've been thinking about and planning in my head for a long time. It's such a different experience to play intimate shows, and I'm so excited to host this in a city that I adore' via Instagram.
When the 32-year-old says 'intimate,' they mean it.
Based on our findings, Warsaw holds just 1,100 audience members in a general admission setting. When they last toured, Smith's NY concerts took place at Madison Square Garden, which can fit around 20,000 fans.

Heidi Klum says the biggest misconception about being a woman over 50 is that 'you are off the shelf'
Heidi Klum is 52, embracing her wrinkles, and still posing in lingerie, because she said she doesn't think aging is anything to be ashamed of. In an interview with People published on Monday, the supermodel spoke about marriage, motherhood, and what it's like to age in the spotlight. Klum told People that she is pushing back against the assumption that women in their 50s lose relevance because of their age. "The biggest misconception [about] being in your 50s is that you are off the shelf. You're not off the shelf," Klum said. "We are very much on that shelf for everyone to see. Don't hide in your 50s." The "Project Runway" host added that beauty evolves with time, and she's "here for the change." "If it's always the same, life is boring," she said. Klum, who has four kids with her ex-husband Seal, isn't afraid to show off her body either. "I've been photographing nude or in lingerie since 1992, way before Instagram," Klum said. "So for me, it's nothing new. For the past 15 years, other people are now doing what I've been doing for 30 years. Instead of being in my little bottoms in a magazine, I'm on Instagram. It's the same thing." It doesn't matter that she's older, she said: "I don't have this age-shaming or body-shaming thing. I feel like everyone should do what they want to do. I like to run around sexy — even now at 52." But it does help to see how perspectives on aging have shifted in recent years, she added. "Now it's OK to be older — but it didn't use to be like that," she says. "I feel like we're more welcoming of wrinkles and rolls on our body. Being accepted at every age is amazing. That we've changed and come all that way," Klum said. She said she isn't opposed to getting cosmetic enhancements like Botox. Still, she said she sees aging as something to look forward to. "Don't we all want to get old? I know we always say that, but it's the truth. I'm already looking at 60 and 70, hopefully 80 and 90. And if we're still kicking it then, let's celebrate," Klum said. A representative for Klum did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Klum joins a growing list of famous women speaking candidly and optimistically about growing older. In November, Lauren Sánchez Bezos said she never expected to have so much to look forward to after turning 50. "When I was 20, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, life is over at 50.' Let me tell you: It is not, ladies. It is not over," she said during a "Today" show appearance. In January, Chelsea Handler said she isn't afraid of growing older and is excited for all that her 50s would offer. "My life is exactly what I hoped it would be — it's more than I hoped it would be. I had no idea what the possibilities were or that I could live a life like this and feel so free," Handler told Parade.

Internet Chicks and Their Impact on Online Culture
The internet is a vast, dynamic space where identities, trends, and movements emerge and thrive. One such phenomenon that has gained traction in online communities is the concept of internet chicks. These individuals are shaping digital culture and carving out niche spaces in ways that are both fascinating and influential. But what exactly are internet chicks, and why do they matter in today's digital conversations? This blog takes a deep dive into the cultural significance, characteristics, and impact of internet chicks on the virtual world. The term internetchicks typically refers to women who have built substantial personas, followings, or trends within online spaces. These individuals often engage with their audience through social media platforms, streaming sites, blogs, or forums. They may not be global celebrities but hold considerable sway over niche communities. Internet chicks can be influencers, content creators, gamers, or advocates for causes. What sets them apart is their authenticity, relatability, and ability to connect with their audience. They craft unique perspectives and often pioneer trends that resonate deeply within their circles. Internet chicks thrive on being genuine. Their ability to share relatable experiences, struggles, or victories makes them particularly endearing. Whether it's editing videos, building a brand on Instagram, or creating viral TikToks, internet chicks often succeed thanks to their savvy use of technology. A defining trait is how they interact with their communities. Be it through live Q&A sessions, responding to comments, or hosting giveaways, they build a sense of belonging. Many internet chicks create content tailored to specific interests—whether that's gaming, fitness, fashion, mental health, or feminism. This specificity attracts highly engaged audiences. Internet chicks play a vital role in shaping pop culture and influencing societal narratives. Whether it's through introducing new slang, championing inclusivity, or sparking movements, their presence online goes beyond entertainment. Driving Pop Culture Trends From TikTok dances to unique visual aesthetics, internet chicks are often the creators or amplifiers of trends. These trends frequently jump from social media into mainstream culture, influencing music, fashion, and advertising. Many internet chicks utilize their platforms to advocate for social and political causes. They draw attention to issues like body positivity, mental health awareness, and environmental conservation. Their influence transforms followers into advocates. Redefining Representation Historically, women's roles in media have been limited. Internet chicks break this mold by creating spaces where women express themselves authentically and enjoy visibility on their terms. This shifts the narrative around female representation in digital spaces. With their raw honesty and relatability, internet chicks serve as role models. They encourage their followers to be themselves, share their stories, and pursue what they're passionate about without fear of judgment. Communities built by internet chicks are some of the most vibrant, engaging, and supportive spaces online. These communities serve as places of learning, connection, and shared inspiration. A Platform for Expression: Followers find an outlet for creativity, humor, and thought-provoking discussions. Followers find an outlet for creativity, humor, and thought-provoking discussions.

Celebration of Diversity: These spaces frequently invite people from different walks of life to share their perspectives. Despite their positive contributions, internet chicks also face challenges. For instance, they deal with trolling, invasive scrutiny, and the pressure to continuously create engaging content. Balancing personal boundaries while staying digitally present is no easy feat. Additionally, critics argue that there's occasional over-commercialization, where authenticity is compromised for sponsorships. However, many creators are striving to address these concerns transparently. Internet chicks are more than influencers—they are storytellers, leaders, and change-makers who wield their voice to shape narratives. For their audiences, they provide a sense of belonging. Their contributions to culture, advocacy, and entertainment make the digital world more vibrant and inclusive. Whether they're driving progressive movements or simply providing a daily dose of laughter, internet chicks have proven that online spaces are not just platforms—they're communities where creativity, connection, and impact coalesce. The rise of internet chicks symbolizes how the internet democratizes influence. Access to online platforms enables women from all walks of life to share their voices, build communities, and spark real-world change. The cultural significance and influence of internet chicks will likely only continue to grow in parallel with the increasing digitalization of our world. These dynamic figures remind us that beyond the hashtags and pixels are people whose presence makes the internet a more colorful, engaging, and meaningful space. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Budget-friendly spin on classic summer treat goes viral: ‘Road trip luxury'
A budget-friendly recipe is going viral for channeling an Italian delicacy with just two ingredients that can be found at most roadside rest stops: coffee and an ice-cream sandwich. 'It's July and you know what that means: It's gas station affogato season,' New York-based travel expert and television host Samantha Brown recently posted on social media. Advertisement An affogato, which means 'drowned' in English, is typically served with fresh espresso poured over vanilla ice cream. But Brown, host of the PBS show 'Places to Love,' was forced to improvise while on a recent road trip stateside. 'You're seeing everyone in Italy, Positano, the Amalfi Coast, but you're at a Gulf station off the [Massachusetts Turnpike],' she said. To make the experience 'fancy,' she grabbed a cup of black coffee and an ice-cream sandwich from the gas station. With her ingredients resting on top of an air pump, Brown dunks the frozen treat into the cup and takes a big bite. Advertisement 'Delicious,' the mom of two exclaims. 'Back in the car,' she adds. 3 To make the experience 'fancy,' she grabbed a cup of black coffee and an ice-cream sandwich from the gas station.
