The noise battle at the heart of Real Madrid's stadium
Last year, tens of thousands of 'Swifties' - Taylor Swift fans - thronged Madrid to watch back-to-back concerts at the Spanish capital's famous Bernabéu stadium, home to Real Madrid, who won Europe's Champions League final less than 24 hours later, on 1 June. The mega-concert was one of dozens of high-profile gigs staged at the newly renovated stadium in 2024 to boost the club's revenue. But the project was short lived. In September all gigs were cancelled after residents living within earshot of the music filed a legal complaint over the noise. Now, nine months later, Spanish pop singer Aitana is the latest artist to switch venues from the Bernabéu to the Metropolitano Stadium – home to rivals Atletico Madrid – as the court case rumbles on. "In every concert it is exactly the same," says Enrique Martínez de Azagra, president of the neighbours' association. He and other locals say the sound from concerts like Taylor Swift's has become too much. "It is impossible to suffer this kind of noise and it affects our health, it affects migraines, insomnia and heart attacks and it is a criminal offence in our laws," adds Enrique. In Madrid, the noise levels measured by the neighbours exceeded 90 decibels regularly during the concerts. Ian Marnane from the European Environment Agency says that in Europe any level of 55 decibels or above is considered to be harmful, and continued exposure can lead to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular disease such as strokes. There are also links between noise exposure and diabetes. Enrique says there is a significant difference between the noise from the concerts compared with that from football matches. He and most of his neighbours have lived in the area for decades. Many of them are life-long Real Madrid supporters and are on committees that represent the interests of the club. "Football is a sport that lasts two hours, more or less. The noise is normal. Only when there is a goal, the passion surges," says Enrique. The problem he sees with the concerts is that they spew continuously high levels of noise for long periods of hours at a time. To reduce their exposure to these high levels of noise, Enrique and his neighbours took Real Madrid to court. Sports journalist Felippo Maria Ricci believes they have a strong case. "The Bernabéu is right in the heart of Madrid. The neighbours who live there have good positions and know the right people," says Felippo. "This battle for the concerts can be quite long but at the moment Real Madrid is losing this battle." The neighbours say the city government is hesitant to resolve the issue as it benefits from the tourism and the money the concerts generate. According to local media reports, tourists coming for the Taylor Swift concerts alone spent about €25m (£21m; $28m). Filippo says that the £1.1bn renovation to make the stadium multi-purpose was supposed to provide a huge financial boost to Real Madrid. They also signed a contract with a US company selling the commercial rights to the stadium. "They spent a lot of money to develop a new system for the pitch, to take it off when they have the concerts," says Filippo. "Now all this new super system is quite useless, at the moment, all that money is gone." Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons and AC/DC are among the acts playing at the rival Atlético stadium this summer. Madrid City Council, the Mayor's office and Real Madrid have not responded to requests for comment by the BBC. Real Madrid has previously said it is trying to sound proof the stadium. According to local reports the club hired a specialist company and windows were installed in the skywalk area. When I put to the neighbours that Real Madrid is trying to soundproof the stadium, they chuckled. Enrique works as an engineer and thinks it is "quite impossible to soundproof the stadium". While the Bernabéu's roof can close, the stadium is never completely closed, as there is an open gap between the roof and the facade all the way around the stadium. The neighbours say they are not against all concerts. "We've had concerts in the past, but once a year," says Pablo Baschwitz, a lawyer and one of the neighbours campaigning for change. He recalls concerts with music legends such as Frank Sinatra and Julio Iglesias at the Bernabéu - but says having 20 concerts scheduled per year is just too much. From the roof terrace of one of the neighbours' flats the proximity to the stadium is plain to see. They point to a health centre that they say struggles to accurately measure patients' blood pressure at times because the sound waves from the concerts disturb the readings in their machines. Pablo says the concerts aren't the only problem – there are also rehearsals and sound checks during the day which disturb the local community, including schools. Luis Jordana de Pozas lives right across from the stadium, and some of the noise measurements were taken on the outside and inside of his flat. On his terrace overlooking the Bernabéu, he explains how newly added metal plates on the stadium's exterior have amplified the sound, and shows me recorded videos of the "unbearable" noise. In Madrid, the facades of the houses around the stadium are lined with banners. Draped from their windows, balconies and terraces the neighbours put their protest posters on display, reading "conciertos no" (no concerts) and "ruído no" (no noise). For now, while the case is in court, the music has stopped. Bernabeu to become 'best in world' How our noisy world is seriously damaging our health How 'Swiftonomics' is impacting the music industry

Viral Video Captures Travis Kelce's Rare Revelation About Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce has won the Swifties' hearts yet again after making a rare confession, which was captured in a video. The Kansas City Chiefs star recently attended his teammate Patrick Mahomes' charity gala. Although Swift was physically absent, she participated by donating an autographed guitar to the auction. When the bidding for his superstar girlfriend's precious item took place at the event, Kelce ended up stealing the spotlight with a cheeky move. A video of Travis Kelce is the talk of the Swifties-town as it captured his playful revelation about his popstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The clip, which has now gone viral, was taken by a fellow attendee at the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation's charity gala. It showed Kelce standing near his table with his bidding paddle in his hand. The item up for auction at the time was an autographed guitar by Swift, who was not in attendance at the event. At one point, Kelce looked at the guitar and decided to withdraw from the bid. The 35-year-old NFL star then cheekily quipped, 'I just realized I have that already.' It is unclear at the time of writing if Kelce meant the guitar or if he meant another signed item from Taylor. However, a fan suggested a theory in the comments section. They noted that the move could have been the football tight end's attempt to raise the bidding amount. Kelce then seemingly backed out after it reached a certain rate. Meanwhile, the gala room erupted in laughter after Kelce's revelation. This included Kansas City Chiefs star's teammate, Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes. The group was all sitting at the same table. Now, Kelce's video is making the rounds on the internet. The post has racked up a whopping 10K likes on X (formerly Twitter). Moreover, the comments section is flooded with fans gushing over Kelce's admiration for Swift. A user's statement echoed the collective reaction, writing, 'Aww, his comment is soooo cute!' Originally reported by Shriya Swami on Reality Tea.

Taylor Swift dropping new album on Memorial Day? Fans pick up ‘hidden' clues
Taylor Swift has sent her loyal fans buzzing once again with her hidden clues, many of which they believe to be pointing towards a big announcement at the American Music Awards on May 26 this year. After finishing her record-breaking Eras tour in Vancouver last year, Swift has carefully kept herself hidden from the public eye, apart from a few appearances here and there with her boyfriend Travis Kelce. However, ever-eager 'Swifties' have been working overtime to decipher the string of Easter eggs left by Swift, which may be pointing to the re-release of previous music or maybe even a new album. Read More: Taylor Swift song used during rebellion in The Handmaid's Tale episode; internet calls it dystopia's 'revenge anthem' Dedicated fans of Swift have long been on the wait for her to re-record her two remaining 'masters'- Reputation and her debut album. Her last re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version), came out in October 2023 and it's been well over a year since she dropped the Tortured Poets Department as well. This and the fact that Taylor's last six-month trademark extension to re-record these two remaining albums has given many the hope that Swift will drop these covers before losing the rights to do so. Eagle-eyed fans have noted a recent change in Swift's merch website. On scrolling down, her clickable links have been arranged in the order of apparel, music, accessories, sale- an obvious acronym for AMAS. Previously, it was organised in the manner of sale, music, and accessories, followed by home. Additionally, the website has also introduced a 26% discount on 12 items. Since Swift's next release will be her twelfth album, many fans speculate that this could also be pointing towards the release of new music altogether. Read More: Travis Kelce is fuming over Trump's Taylor Swift dig: 'He is so mad that...' Swift has built a reputation for using her website to tease new releases in the past as well, when she used a phrase from her song 'Willow' as a coupon code about a month before the 'Evermore' album was dropped. Her merchandise pricing for signed CDs of Fearless (Taylor's Version) was $19.89 two years before 1989 (Taylor's Version) came out. Swift's codes go beyond just her website into her award-show fashion as well. Swift accepted her 2023 Grammy for 'Album of the Year' in a blue dress- the signature colour of 'Midnights'. She then opted for a white dress the year after that, where she announced 'The Tortured Poets Department' at the ceremony. This year, Swift opted for a red dres,s which doesn't match the theme of any of her previous albums. Fans speculate that Swift planned to wear these three colours, representing the American flag- red, white, and blue- beforehand so that she could make a huge announcement at the AMAs this year, which also happens to be on Memorial Day. However, certain people are also willing to bet their money on July 4 for the release of new music, given Taylor's previous regard for this date. To add to the swirl of upending excitement, recently a re-recorded version of the track 'Look What You Made Me Do' from the 'Reputation' album was played in an episode of The Handmaid's Tale. Swift hasn't performed at the AMAS since 2019 when she had a major public falling out with Scooter Braun. Fans are hopeful that a big announcement on the same day, six years later, would be symbolic of her fight to reclaim the rights to her 'masters' albums. Despite being nominated for six awards this year, it's unclear whether Swift is scheduled to perform at the event as well.
