Taylor Swift está saltando en las presidenciales 2024 durante este Super Tuesday, pero se está guardando de entregarle su codiciado respaldo al presidente Joe Biden o a cualquier otro candidato, en este caso.

Taylor dio la voz de alarma el martes por la mañana con un post en sus historias de IG, que decía: "Amigos, quería recordarles que voten por las personas que más los representan en el poder. Si aún no lo han hecho, hagan un plan para votar hoy".

Los expertos en política se han puesto manos a la obra para discutir el potencial de Taylor para influir en esta campaña electoral, después de ver lo extremadamente leales que son sus fans. Basta con preguntarle al comisionado de la NFL, Roger Goodell.

La administración Biden ha sido abierta sobre su deseo de obtener un respaldo de Taylor, como lo hizo en 2020, y el propio Joe se ha inclinado por la posibilidad de que lo respalde.

El equipo de Donald Trump, mientras tanto, le ha declarado la "guerra santa" a la cantante y los Swifties, según han informado algunos medios, insistiendo en que el ex presidente es "más popular" que ella y tiene fans más leales.

Taylor no está respaldando a nadie hoy, y la mayoría de los analistas políticos no esperan que lo haga hasta que nos acerquemos al día de las elecciones en noviembre.

En su llamado a los Swifties en IG, Taylor instó a todos a ir a vote.org para encontrar información sobre los lugares de votación y los tiempos, si están en alguno de los 16 estados o territorios donde se votan primarias hoy.

Taylor Swift is leaping into 2024 presidential politics on Super Tuesday, but she's stopping short of that coveted endorsement of President Joe Biden ... or any candidate, for that matter.

Taylor sounded the alarm early Tuesday morning with a post on her IG story, writing a note that says, "I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven't already, make a plan to vote today."

Political pundits have had a field day discussing the potential power of Taylor to swing campaigns this election season, having seen the power of her extremely loyal fan base. Just ask NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about it.

The Biden administration's been open about its desire to get an endorsement from Taylor -- as she did in 2020 -- and Joe himself has leaned into the possibility of her backing him.

Donald Trump's camp, meanwhile, has reportedly declared "holy war" on the singer and Swifties ... insisting the former prez is "more popular" than her, with more loyal fans.

Taylor's not endorsing anyone today, and most political analysts don't expect her to do so until we get closer to election day in November.

In her IG call out to Swifties, Taylor urged everyone to hit up vote.org to find info on polling places and times ... if you're in one of the 16 states or territories voting in today's primaries.

Solid advice.

Los fans de Taylor Swift están aparentemente preocupados por su salud tras verla toser en el escenario, y aunque es dulce, también habla de lo hiper-enfocados que están en ella.

Un video que capta uno de los recientes espectáculos de Taylor en Singapur está circulando por todo Internet y, a primera vista, no hay realmente nada de que preocuparse, al menos para una persona promedio. Pero los Swifties, sin embargo, se apresuraron a notar que tosió brevemente para aclarar su garganta mientras cantaba.

Literalmente fue un segundo y luego ella continuó como si nada hubiera pasado.

Y, sin embargo, la gente en línea está repletando las redes con pensamientos y oraciones para Tay Tay, con muchos diciendo que no se encuentra bien y que podría necesitar descanso. En otras palabras, desconocidos jugando a ser médicos.

Como hemos dicho, ella no parece frágil o enferma aquí -aparte de la tos- pero por alguna razón sus fans parecen creer que saben más sobre su salud, lo que está provocando extrañamente una gran preocupación por la estrella del pop. De todas maneras, Taylor ha terminado casi todos sus shows.

No está de más decir que ella es una artista profesional y ha hecho esto por muchos años, por lo que si T-Swift estuviera realmente mal, no lo haría. Por lo tanto, estamos seguros de que va a agradecer la preocupación, pero es innecesaria.

Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que la base de fans de Taylor se preocupa abiertamente por ella. Ha habido otros casos que han provocado la angustia entre los Swifties, ya sea por una vez en que perdió la marca sobre el escenario, cuando tropezó en las escaleras o intentó recuperar el aliento debido al calor.

Por suerte, nada salió de eso, pero suponemos que es la intención lo que cuenta.

Taylor Swift fans are apparently worried about her health because she happened to cough onstage -- which, while sweet, speaks to how hyper-focused these loyalists really are.

A video capturing one of Taylor's recent Singapore shows is making the rounds -- and at first glance, there's really nothing to fret about ... at least to the average person. Of course, though, Swifties were quick to notice that she briefly cleared her throat while singing.

It literally happens in a second ... and she carried on afterward like nothing had happened.

And yet ... people online are pouring in with thoughts and prayers for Tay Tay, with many saying she's not well and that she might need rest. In other words, randoms playing doctor.

Like we said, she doesn't appear outwardly frail or sick here -- aside from the one cough -- but for some reason ... her fans seem to think they know all about her health, and it's weirdly leading to a lot of concern for the pop star. FWIW, Taylor's finished nearly all her shows.

It should also go without saying ... but she's a professional performer, and has been doing this for years now -- so if T-Swift was truly under the weather and unable to go on, she wouldn't. So, we're sure she might appreciate the sentiment here -- but it's unnecessary.

BTW ... this isn't the first time Taylor's fan base has openly worried about her. There've been other instances where she's caused angst among the Swifties -- whether it was over a missed mark onstage, almost tripping down some stairs or struggling to breathe due to the heat.

Luckily, nothing ever came from any of that ... but we suppose it's the thought that counts.

Feel better, Taylor ... assuming, you're sick, that is!

J Balvin dice que hay un defecto con el Cybertruck, el motor es tan silencioso, que es difícil saber la velocidad a la que andas, pero él tiene una solución para Elon Musk.

El cantante colombiano llegó a los estudios Record Plant Recording Studios de Los Ángeles el lunes y lo hizo nada menos que en uno de estos futuristas vehículos eléctricos. Por supuesto, nuestro fotógrafo le preguntó sobre el camión Tesla que se estrelló contra el Hotel Beverly Hills el fin de semana.

Echa un vistazo, Balvin compartió sus pensamientos sobre el incidente con nosotros, señalando que no hay manera de saber qué tan rápido va el Cybertruck si uno se guía solo por el sonido porque al parecer es bastante silencioso cuando está en uso.

Recuerden que el propio Elon dice que el Cybertruck es más rápido que un Porsche 911 y cree que el conductor del accidente de BHH "no esperaba tanta aceleración".

La diferencia es que el motor de un Porsche 911 rugiría la vida a altas velocidades y Balvin parece pensar que el Cybertruck necesita un indicador audible como ese para ayudar a los conductores detrás del volante.

J Balvin dice que sería bueno tener algún ruido o sonido característico una vez que el Cybertruck alcanza una cierta velocidad para alertar al conductor de que va rápido, y lo dice de una manera muy particular también.

Aparte de eso, Balvin suena muy contento con su nuevo juguete sobre ruedas, literalmente su juguete favorito, dice. ¡Incluso le dio a nuestro fotógrafo un rápido recorrido por el interior del carro y tenemos que decir que la vista desde el asiento trasero es bastante dulce!

Echa un vistazo al video, el Cybertruck de Balvin tiene un techo solar enorme y un montón de tecnología fresca en el interior. Es como cualquier otro Tesla que hayas visto, pero más elegante y con más funciones.

De hecho, parece bastante espacioso por lo que podemos ver y dice que los asientos son muy cómodos, con un sistema de sonido muy bueno también. Los Cybertrucks poco a poco se están volviendo más comunes en las calles de Los Ángeles, pero parece que todavía hay algunos detalles por resolver para Elon y compañía.

J Balvin says there's one flaw with the Cybertruck -- the engine's so dang quiet, it's hard to tell how fast you're going from behind the wheel ... but he's got a solution for Elon Musk.

We got the Colombian singer, who just released his newest single, "Triple S," featuring De La Ghetto and Jowell & Randy, at Record Plant Recording Studios in Los Angeles Monday ... and he rolled up in none other than one of these futuristic EVs. Of course, our photog asked him about the Tesla truck that crashed into the Beverly Hills Hotel over the weekend.

Check it out ... Balvin -- who was out with "Million Dollar Wheels" star and owner of Wires Only where Balvin bought the car, RD Whittington -- shared his thoughts on the incident with us -- pointing out there's no way of knowing how fast the Cybertruck is going based on sound alone ... 'cause it's apparently pretty silent when in use.

Remember, Elon himself says the Cybertruck is faster than a Porsche 911 ... and he thinks the driver in the BHH crash "wasn't expecting so much acceleration."

Difference being ... a Porsche 911 engine will roar to life at high speeds, and Balvin seems to think the Cybertruck needs an audible indicator like that to help out folks behind the wheel.

J Balvin says it would be nice to have a feature where there's some noise or sound once the Cybertruck reaches a certain speed to alert the driver they're going fast -- and he's got a unique way of putting it too in terms of relaying that message.

Other than that, Balvin sounds pretty pleased with his new set of wheels, which he says is literally his new favorite toy. Get this ... JB even gave our photog a quick tour inside the car ... and we gotta say, the back seat view is pretty sweet!

Check out the video ... Balvin's Cybertruck has a massive sunroof, and there's lots of cool tech inside. It's just like any other Tesla you've seen ... only slicker with more features.

Indeed, it looks pretty roomy from what we can see ... and he says the seats are super comfortable -- with a bumpin' sound system too. Cybertrucks are slowly becoming more common on the streets, at least in L.A., but it sounds like there's still a few kinks for Elon and co. to work out.

Usher made a pit stop on his Bali vacation, visiting one of the island's most famous residents ... Russell Simmons.

The singer carved some time out from his own getaway with his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, to meet up with the hip hop mogul for some yoga, meditation and inner peace ... and it sounds like Usher's visit is lifting Russell's spirits.

The Def Jam co-founder shared video Sunday of him leading a yoga class, with Usher occupying one of the mats on the first row ... and it looks like they got in a great stretch, working up a sweat.

Russell had nothing but good things to say about Usher's presence, saying his old pal exuded an amazing "generosity of spirit" and overall great energy.

Russell also posted a bunch of smiling photos with Usher during their time together, who appears to have been in the area on a getaway of his own ... this following their recent Las Vegas wedding.

In his social media posts, Russell explains how Usher came at the perfect time, saying ... "When i was at the lowest point in my life i woke up and this man was sitting by my bed .. i had known usher since he was a kid but we really bonded because of our mutual love for self discovery and our belief in Yogic science as a direct route to realizing Gods conciousness in ourselves."

Russell adds ... "People remember to remember this ..a friend walks in when others walk out ... i will never forget the generosity of spirit i witnessed in this man God bless you baby bro @usher 🙏🏽 love you !!!!"

As you know, Russell's lived in Bali since 2017 and he's been slammed with multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits and allegations, which he says have caused him great suffering.

Jamie Lynn Spears may have realized she'd be pissing off her sister, Britney Spears, by showing off her Christina Aguilera residency drop-in ... so, she made sure not to in a recap.

Brit's famous younger sibling shared a series of sweet memories from her Sin City getaway over the weekend -- where she was enjoying a bachelorette party with a solid group of ladies. Lots of highlights in her IG post ... but interestingly, none capturing Xtina onstage.

Take a look at some of Jamie Lynn's standout snaps from the getaway -- she made sure to point out they hit up a 'Magic Mike Live' show .. and just hitting the town in general.

Yet, Brit's kid sis noticeably didn't post a single pic/vid from Christina's performance at the Voltaire at the Venetian in Vegas. In fact ... Jamie Lynn said her friend -- who is set to get married soon -- and the male stripper show were the only things worth leaving her kids for.

Of course ... there are a lot of complicated dynamics at play here -- which could have a role in Jamie Lynn's social media choices. BS and CA may go all the way back to the Mickey Mouse Club -- but fans have pitted the pop princesses against each other for decades.

It's not just fans though ... Britney and Christina have had rumored beef as well, for realsies. Whether any of that animosity has carried over into the 2020s is anyone's guess -- but it would appear Jamie Lynn was mindful of their history in going through her Vegas vacay.

On its face, you could argue JLS was just trying to keep the peace and not ruffle feathers.

Drake no tiene problemas de confianza cuando se trata de sus pilotos de aterrizaje y la espesa niebla, porque se unió a ellos en la cabina y filmó un aterrizaje complicado.

El rapero compartió un salvaje video el lunes de sus dos pilotos haciendo un aterrizaje perfecto para condiciones de poca visibilidad... y es bastante increíble.

Drake está detrás de los pilotos en la cabina mientras descienden para aterrizar, con una espesa niebla cubriendo todas las ventanas... en otras palabras, ¡estaban volando a ciegas!

Hay una voz robótica que cuenta la altitud, empezando a 500 pies, y literalmente no hay nada visible fuera de la ventana hasta que Drake está a unos 50 pies del suelo, cuando una pista de aterrizaje de repente atraviesa la niebla como un cuchillo.

Drake aparece en el video diciendo "salud" mientras su avión privado Boeing 767 aterriza, luego anima a sus dos pilotos una vez que están en la pista. "Champagne Papi" escribió en el post. "Ya aterrizamos y me encanta volar en Air Drake. La baja visibilidad hizo que el vuelo fuera emocionante, suerte la mía de tener a los mejores pilotos".

Drake doesn't have trust issues when it comes to his pilots landing his jumbo jet in a thick fog ... because he joined them in the cockpit, filming them stick the tricky landing.

The rapper shared a wild first-person POV clip Monday of his two pilots bringing Air Drake in for a textbook landing in low visibility ... and the video is pretty incredible.

Drake's behind the pilots in the cockpit as they descend for landing, with a thick fog blanketing all the windows ... in other words, they were flying blind!!!

There's a robotic voice counting down the altitude, starting at 500 feet, and there's literally nothing visible outside the window until Air Drake is about 50 feet off the ground, when a runway suddenly cuts through the fog like a knife.

Drake's in the video saying "cheers" as his Boeing 767 private jet touches down ... then he hypes up his two pilots once they're on the runway.

Champagne Papi captioned the post ... "There's a couple landings I love on Air Drake but tbh the low visibility is the most exciting it makes your heart drop a bit…lucky I got the best putting this s*** wheels down."

Chilli is officially a grandma at 53 'cause her son, Tron Austin, has just welcomed his first child with his wife, Jeong Ah Wang!

Tron -- whom the TLC singer shares with her ex, Dallas Austin -- made the big announcement Saturday ... sharing a sweet IG snap of his newborn daughter and his wife, right from the hospital in Seoul, South Korea.

He wrote ... "On this day March 2nd, 2024 at 1:59pm 6.173 LBS/2.8kg an angel from heaven was born our beautiful daughter LUA婁娥) we are officially parents!!"

Tron also shared that Jeong had to undergo an emergency C-section a few days earlier than her expected due date, sending their anxiety levels through the roof. But he gushed that despite the challenges ... his wife courageously powered through to bring their healthy and beautiful baby girl into the world.

Tron and Jeong shared their pregnancy news back in September, revealing they'd been on quite the fertility journey to get to this point ... and now, you can tell they're proud parents.

Jeong went through a laundry list of procedures -- two HSG procedures, a hysteroscopy, having both her tubes and scar tissue removed from hernia and appendicitis surgeries, one egg retrieval and a heartbreaking miscarriage. The hardships were clearly worth it in the end!

As of right now, Tron's mama Chilli hasn't said anything publicly about her granddaughter just yet, but she's probably soaking up every moment with her newest family member.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Danielle Bregoli, AKA Bhad Bhabie, sparked a fight at a West Hollywood restaurant after a heated argument with her baby daddy, Le Vaughn. Danielle announced back in December that she and Le Vaughn were expecting, and seeing how she opted out of the all-out brawl  ... you'd have to say pending motherhood has mellowed her!

Rhianna received criticism online following footage of her $6.3 million performance in India at a pre-wedding party, with many calling the concert "boring" and "lackluster."

Lisa Vanderpump addressed the recent lawsuit from Leah McSweeney as well as Rachel Leviss taking Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix to court.

Plus, Barry Keoghan sat front and center to watch his newly rumored girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter perform at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Singapore.

Kyle Richards tuvo el mejor asiento del lugar para ver el show de Morgan Wade el sábado en Arizona y mantuvo sus ojos fijos en la cantante de country, grabando todos sus movimientos.

La estrella de "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" estuvo en el Festival Extra Innings en Tempe, aterrizando en un asiento de la primera fila sin su marido Mauricio Umansky.

TMZ obtuvo un video de la actuación de Morgan en el que se ve a Kyle usando su teléfono celular para acercarse y grabar a Morgan tocando y cantando sus canciones. Kyle está claramente disfrutando de la actuación, asintiendo con la cabeza a la música y mostrando con orgullo una muñeca llena de bandas del festival.

Parece que Kyle es el mayor fan de Morgan estos días y los mejores amigos son tan cercanos como siempre. ¿Qué tan cerca?, bueno, digamos que esta salida no está desmintiendo ningún rumor.

Por cierto, Morgan actuó en el mismo festival de 3 días junto con Elle King, que estaba de vuelta en el escenario por primera vez después de su debacle borracho en el Grand Ole Opry durante una celebración del cumpleaños de Dolly Parton.

Elle y Kyle se encontraron entre bastidores el día antes del concierto de Morgan ... tomando una foto juntos también.

En cuanto a cómo están las cosas entre Kyle y Mauricio... la verdad es que no está claro. Acabamos de verlos juntos la semana pasada para celebrar el cumpleaños de su hija. Dicho esto, parece que Kylie solo se reúne con su marido para reuniones familiares.

Kyle Richards had the best seat in the house for a Morgan Wade performance Saturday in Arizona ... and she kept her eyes trained on the country singer, recording her every move.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star was front and center at the Extra Innings Festival in Tempe ... parking herself in a front-row seat on the other side of the fence from the main crowd, with estranged husband Mauricio Umansky nowhere to be found.

TMZ obtained video of Morgan's gig ... and you see Kyle using her cell phone to zoom in and record Morgan playing and belting out her tunes. Kyle's clearly enjoying the performance ... nodding her head to the music and proudly showing off a wrist full of festival bands.

Seems Kyle is Morgan's biggest fan these days ... and the BFFs are just as close as ever. In terms of how close -- well, let's just say this outing isn't tampering down any rumors.

BTW, Morgan performed at the same 3-day festival along with Elle King, who was back onstage for the first time after her drunken debacle at the Grand Ole Opry during a Dolly Parton birthday celebration.

Elle and Kyle found each other backstage the day before Morgan's gig ... snapping a photo together as well.

As for where things stand between Kyle and Mauricio ... it's unclear. We just saw them together this past week to celebrate their daughter's birthday -- and they were side by side. With that said, it appears Kylie is only getting together with her hubby for family gatherings.

Wouldn't you know it, Taylor Swift is related to a famous American poet ... none other than the late, great Emily Dickinson.

Taylor and Emily are sixth cousins, three times removed ... and they both descend from the same 17th-century English immigrant who settled in Connecticut ... genealogy company Ancestry told Today.

The common ancestor is Taylor's 9th great-grandfather and Emily's 6th great-grandfather ... with Taylor's side of the family living in Connecticut for 6 generations before moving to northwestern Pennsylvania and marrying into the Swift family tree.

While Taylor's the biggest star in the world, Emily was obviously quite talented too ... Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems before her death in 1886 and she's widely regarded as one of the most important women in American literature.

Unclear if Taylor knows about the familial connection -- but it sounds like she may ... as she referenced Emily in 2022 when she won the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International.

In her acceptance speech, Taylor said ... "If my lyrics sound like a letter written by Emily Dickinson's great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain, that's me writing in the Quill genre."

Swifties have also theorized Taylor's 2020 album, "Evermore," drew inspiration from Dickinson ... because there were plenty of Easter eggs.

Taylor announced the surprise album on Emily's birthday, and a few days before the album release she said the idea behind her "Folklore" album cover was a "girl sleepwalking through the forest in a nightgown in 1830" ... the year Emily was born.

El ex novio de Billie Eilish tiene que culpar a Christian Bale de que su relación no resistiera el paso del tiempo, y todo por culpa de un sueño que ella tuvo años atrás.

La cantante contó cómo un sueño con el actor de "El Caballero Oscuro" la llevó a poner fin a su relación, todo mientras charlaban sobre sus superhéroes favoritos con Amelia Dimoldenberg en el almuerzo de los nominados a los Oscar junto a su hermano, Finneas.

Billie recuerda que el sueño transcurría en un acogedor café donde el sol brillaba, y luego... bam, se despierta. Según ella fue una experiencia muy extraña.

Tanto así, que en ese mismo momento -todavía acostada en la cama después de tener el sueño- sabía que tenía que romper con su novio.

La cantante de "Ocean Eyes" no reveló a quién se refería, pero vale la pena señalar que ha sido vinculada con el actor Matthew Tyler Vorce y el rapero Brandon 'Q' Adams en el pasado.

La relación más reciente de Billie fue con el vocalista de The Neighbourhood, Jesse Rutherford, pero su historia de amor sufrió un bache y terminó el año pasado. Su representante le dijo a TMZ en ese momento: "Podemos confirmar que Billie y Jesse se separaron amistosamente y siguen siendo buenos amigos", al tiempo que desmintió los rumores de engaño que surgieron.

Por ahora, parece que Billie no está centrada en ningún hombre, ¡porque su carrera está subiendo a nuevas alturas! Ella y Finneas tienen sus miras puestas en los Oscars del domingo, donde están nominados a Mejor Canción Original por "What Was I Made For?" de "Barbie", y también actuarán en la ceremonia.
