Remember when Taylor Swift did drag in a Versace shirt?
CNN
Heavily fake tanned, swigging champagne from the bottle and surrounded by bikini-clad women on a yacht, Taylor made way for “Tyler.”
A man dances on the top-deck of his private yacht, swigging champagne from the bottle, surrounded by bikini-clad women. He’s heavily fake-tanned, his dark hair is coiffed. But this isn’t a man — it’s Taylor Swift. Back in February 2020, Swift had not yet announced her Eras Tour (now the highest-grossing tour of all time); released any of the four new records that have come since, or begun re-recording her earliest work. She was, instead, still busily promoting her seventh album, “Lover,” and premiering the self-directed music video for its fourth single, “The Man.” Throughout the video, and under several pounds of prosthetic makeup, Taylor — appearing in drag as “Tyler” — swans around a boardroom, smokes on the subway, and parties on the private yacht as lyrics lament the double standard between men and women. Tyler is praised for things that real-life Taylor would be shamed for: where she is rude, he is bold; things that make her greedy make him a go-getter. It’s on-the-nose, but it gets her point across. As well as sporting a wig and faux facial hair, Tyler’s wardrobe as “The Man” features snugly-fitted suits, tennis whites and a brown suede dad jacket. But it’s his gaudy outfit from the yacht that’s been selected for display in a new exhibition at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), picked as being definitive of the entire “Lover” period. “Taylor Swift: Songbook Trail” traces the star’s meteoric journey from childhood to the present day, spreading 13 exhibits of costumes, props and instruments from Swift’s personal archive across the museum’s various galleries. The centerpiece of Swift’s look from “The Man” is a black, red and gold silk Versace shirt, worn with matching shoes and a pair of white linen Tommy Bahama trousers. Huge black aviator-style sunglasses obscure half of Swift’s face, while hefty gold rings and a gold chain complete the garish look.

When she was in her 40s Jenny Teeters had a serious secret drinking problem, but, she says, her success hid it exceptionally well for years. At one point she managed a high six-figure tech job, raised two teenage girls, finished her MBA, and taught Zumba in her spare time and somehow she did it all while intoxicated.But she got to a place where she knew she needed help, and like with what a new study found, she found what finally made her sobriety stick was developing a newfound faith in a higher power.
