Scientists have uncovered the Amazon’s earliest and largest example of farm-based city-like settlements high in the foothills of the Ecuadorian Andes. The thousands of mounds, plazas, terraces, roads and agricultural fields — revealed for the first time in their fullest extent by airborne laser scans — necessitate a rethinking of just how complex ancient civilizations of the Amazon may have been, researchers report in the Jan. 12 Science. Over the last decade or so, the use of light detection and ranging, or lidar, in archaeology has led to significant discoveries in tropical climates, where ancient settlements often lay obscured beneath dense jungle (SN: 12/4/23). In 2018, researchers released scans of remnants of Mayan settlements in Guatemala, followed by Olmec ruins in Mexico in 2021 and Casarabe sites in the Bolivian Amazon in 2022, all which have been revealed to be metropolitan-like settlements filled with complex infrastructure (SN: 9/27/18; SN: 1/6/23; SN: 5/25/22). “It’s a gold rush scenario, especially for the Americas and the Amazon,” says Christopher Fisher, an archaeologist at Colorado State University in Fort Collins who has scanned sites throughout the Americas but was not involved in the new research. “Scientists are demonstrating conclusively that there were a lot more people in these areas, and that they significantly modified the landscape,” he says. “This is a paradigm shift in our thinking about how extensively people occupied these areas.”
[...]
Beneath the tree canopy was a massive network of roughly 6,000 mounds — once homes and community spaces — clustered into 15 settlements and connected by an intricate road system. The lidar data also revealed that the open spaces between settlements were in fact agricultural fields that had been drained to grow crops such as maize, beans, sweet potatoes and yucca. Within the settlements, the researchers found tiered gardens that would have kept some food closer at hand. Put together, the results show that the valley wasn’t simply a series of small villages linked by roads, but “an entirely human-engineered landscape” built by skilled urban planners, Rostain says. Dating from several sites suggests the area was inhabited for roughly 2,000 years beginning around 500 B.C. by at least five different cultural groups. A next step will be to calculate how many people might have lived there.

Tkachuk tells NHL.com how change in approach lifted game for Panthers
Forward no longer playing it safe, becomes ultimate clutch player in Florida
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – There was a time in Matthew Tkachuk’s life when he played it safe. It’s hard to remember now, hard to get that image out of your head, the one where he is crushing opponents and taking over Stanley Cup Playoff games and literally walking off the ice after scoring a game-winning goal in the fourth overtime of Game 1 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Final. 
It’s hard to remember there was a before. 
But there was.
Once upon a time, like most mortals, Tkachuk didn’t want to make a mistake. He didn’t want to be blamed. He didn’t want to err, to let down his teammates, the fans, himself. It was a time when he wasn’t quite as confident, wasn’t quite as assured -- if that can be believed -- when he didn’t know that, for him, safe was the riskiest play of all. 
“I think maybe earlier in my career, being a young player, not wanting to be the guy that made the mistake, [I] maybe played a little bit safe in the high-pressure situations,” Tkachuk said. “Just trying to play it smart and, honestly, safe’s a perfect word for it. 
“And then a couple years ago, I was like, why not make the play when nobody else wants to try to attempt it because they’re too nervous [about] what bad’s gonna happen? And I’ve seemed to go the other way, in the extreme other way, and that’s seemed to work the last few years.”
Tkachuk pinpoints it exactly, to 2021-22, his final season with the Calgary Flames, before the trade, before he landed in South Florida and became a genre-crossing star, before he helped propel the Panthers to the Stanley Cup Final last season. 
“I was like, ‘Why not?’” Tkachuk said. “Why wouldn’t you want to be the guy that can make that right play at the last minute of the game or whatever? … I’m like, I’m capable, I feel like I’m a good enough player where I can be confident in myself no matter what the situation is. And that’s just kind of kept going.”
The Panthers and Tkachuk will need it to keep going, as they head to the playoffs having hit a tough skid of late. The Panthers, who are set to face the Boston Bruins at TD Garden on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET; ABC, ESPN+, SN, TVAS), are 3-6-1 in their past 10 games, including a 6-0 win against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. 
They are second in the Atlantic Division, four points behind the Bruins, having clinched a playoff spot on March 28, a far cry from last season when the Panthers clinched with a single game remaining on their schedule. They then fell behind 3-1 in the best-of-7 first-round series against the Bruins. That was when they -- and Tkachuk -- came roaring back to force a Game 7. To win that Game 7. 
“I knew what he could bring on a stage like that, but I don’t think the whole rest of the world knew what he could do,” brother and Senators captain Brady Tkachuk said. “So for him to show what he was all about is pretty cool. And I think he’s got another level to his game.”
Paul Maurice thinks he knows why. 
The Panthers coach has seen a handful of players in his career who are elite, who might even rise to the level of potential Hockey Hall of Fame players. And when he’s viewing them, he notes something, something that seems to be common to all of them.
“I watch them and they have a higher expectation of the result,” Maurice said. “And the analogy I used [was] when that guy goes in and buys a suit, he expects it to fit right and it’s going to look good. He has an expectation of the result. 
“With Matthew, it seems to me, it’s tied, there’s four minutes [left], he’s excited about that situation because he has a really high expectation that something good’s going to happen because over the course of his life, that’s exactly what’s happened. It wasn’t a lottery. It’s just he’s gone out and made it happen, so he wants to and believes it can. 
“I never sensed any arrogance on him. I truly have not. It’s not like, hey, give me the puck, I’m the shooter. He just thinks when he hits the ice, it could happen, and his life has told him that it could happen. So why wouldn’t you enjoy the hell out of that?”
Oh, and he is. 
Not only has South Florida been a revelation for Tkachuk, so too has the team, which has entered into the top echelon of the NHL. He has figured out himself and his game, not only that he can -- and will -- come up big in the biggest of moments, but that he can also adjust to fit what the team requires, mold his game to the situation. 
Asked if he is a chameleon, he readily agrees. 
Especially in the playoffs. 
“I look at those types of playoff games differently,” Tkachuk said. “Like some people if they’re not producing, they’re not doing too much to help their team, whereas one of the good things that I’m able to do is recognize what my team needs out of me on that particular night or that particular shift. 
“There are some nights when offense comes second and all I’m trying to do is run around, be physical, try to forecheck and try to gain my team momentum like that. Even if teams are keying in on me or really focusing on me, there’s ways to make an impact.”
No one can argue with that. The Bruins still bear the scars -- some literal, some figurative -- of what Tkachuk did to them in the playoffs last spring. 
In the final four games of the first-round series, Tkachuk had eight points (four goals, four assists) to help them win the best-of-7 series. 
Boston forward Trent Frederic, who traces his understanding of Tkachuk back to basement games as kids in St. Louis, said that he thinks that, likely, had Tkachuk not been on the Panthers, the Bruins would have advanced. 
But he was. They didn’t. And now it’s not hard to believe that many teams are uninterested in seeing the Panthers on the opposing bench in the playoffs, in seeing Tkachuk on the opposing bench. 
Before a cracked sternum forced him to miss the fifth and final game of the last season’s Cup Final, Tkachuk had 24 points (11 goals, 13 assists), including four game-winning goals, in 20 playoff games. 
“So the playoffs, I think the one quote, he’s a [expletive] gamer, that’s how I feel about him in the playoffs last year. And I know it’s profane, but it’s also very specific words, it’s exactly the way I feel about him,” Maurice said. “Sometimes the words just fit. Sometimes they’re casual and you swear too much. Sometimes I do. But that is how I -- a [expletive] gamer. He comes up with the biggest plays time and time again. And his energy level to be able to play at that level, that was specific to the hockey. 
“This year, I’ve gotten to watch what an incredible leader he is.”
He sees it on the bench, in the exhortation of his teammates, in his calming of them, in his barking at them. He sees it when he brought a friend and his two kids into the dressing room after a game in Detroit, when Tkachuk paused in his postgame showering routine to sign a jersey, to take a picture, to get Carter Verhaeghe out of the shower to sign the other jersey. 
“I don’t even blame players who don’t sign,” Maurice said. “But he doesn’t have to do that, and he does that consistently. … It’s not fake. It’s not showy. I think he understands the responsibility that he has and he takes care of it.”
There are so many responsibilities heaped on Tkachuk now. 
He is a leader on the ice and off it. He is the second-leading scorer, with 83 points (24 goals, 59 assists), the top chirper and certainly the most talked about player on the Panthers. And he is ready, once again, to receive that pressure. He is ready for the playoffs. He is ready for the eyes and the lights and all that comes with it.
“I enjoy it,” Tkachuk said. “I think that the high intense games and the rivalry games and the, just like the intense part of the games that some guys might not feel too confident or comfortable, I seem to thrive in them and I love those moments.”
There will be no shortage of those moments in the waning days of the season, in the start of the playoffs, as the Panthers attempt to replicate their Cinderella run to the Final last season -- without the Cinderella part. 
Because much like the Panthers, who have been at or near the top of the NHL all season, there will be no surprises when it comes to Tkachuk. He is known, now. Known for stealing games, for coming up big in the biggest moments, for never, ever playing it safe. 
And when the pressure comes, as it will, he will be right there. 
“Knowing him, that’s going to make him go to another level,” Brady Tkachuk said. “And I think for him, he’s going to love, not the spotlight, but the opportunity that comes from that and what he’s going to be able to do with that. He gets better when the pressure is higher.”

雪平 莉左(ゆきひら りさ、1994年〈平成6年〉6月17日- )は、日本のグラビアアイドル、タレント、ラウンドガール、モデル、元レースクイーン。愛知県豊田市出身。旧名義は葉月 えみり(はづき えみり)。スカイハイプロモーションズを経て(詳細は後述)、2023年現在はプラチナムプロダクション所属。
別名義 葉月えみり(旧芸名)
愛称 えみりん(旧芸名当時)
生年月日 1994年6月17日
出身地 愛知県豊田市
血液型 AB型
身長 / 体重 164 cm / ― kg
スリーサイズ 88 - 57 - 87 cm
カップサイズ F
靴のサイズ 24cm
趣味は旅行、ゴルフ、競馬、映画鑑賞。
ゴルフについては、2022年時点のベストスコアは96。2018年に雑誌(『GOLF TODAY』)の仕事でコンペに参加する際に練習したことから趣味となったが、負けず嫌いの性格ゆえに当時は週に3回くらい練習に通い、スコアが1年で100を切れたという
競馬については、2020年の第65回有馬記念がきっかけで大好きとなり、2021年の第38回フェブラリーステークスでは5千円の馬券で46万5千円を当てたという。なお、馬券の買い方は「当たればいい」が基本で、「買った分だけ戻ってくれば上出来」という感覚のもと、地味にコツコツ(基本的には馬連、ワイド、3連複などを中心に)買っているという。
特技はダイビング、乗馬、腹筋を割ること、イチゴの大食い。好きな色はピンク。憧れの女優・タレントは井川遥と小嶋陽菜。
左利き、クォーター。
小学時代は運動会の徒競走に毎年出場し、中学時代はバスケットボール部に入っていた。中学の途中までは陽気だったが転校後は一匹狼のように変わり、反抗期だったこともあってギャル系の派手な容姿で我が道を行っていたという。
「葉月えみり」名義当時にレースクイーンを目指したきっかけは、某チームのユニットの本社が豊田市に所在していたことに始まり、そこからレースクイーンのコスチュームを可愛く思い、着てみたいと思ったことであるという。
「雪平莉左」は姓名判断で画数のバランスを見ながら自分で考えた芸名であり、好きな白い肌や左利きであることの要素を入れたかったほか、芸能人に「雪平」があまりいなかったことから良いなと思ったが、「りさ」の「さ」に「左」を使うことからも当初はプラチナムプロダクションに見たことのない名前すぎると思われ、あまり良い顔をしてもらえなかったという。しかし、現場ではさまざまな人から「本名なの?」と興味を持ってもらえることが多いという。
井上対ドネア戦のラウンドガールで注目されるようになって以降、普段は世代の近い男性との交流や出会いがないが、SNSなどでDMはサッカー選手から来るようになったという。なお、ラウンドガールについてはそれ以前にも後楽園ホールにて行われているフジボクシングの興行に月1ペースで出ており、世界戦は井上対ドネア戦が初めてだったという。一方、ラウンドガールがきっかけで自分を知った人から「“ぽっと出”で調子に乗ってグラビアとかやるなよ」と言われた際には、「人気が上がったからグラビアを始めた」と思われていることに複雑な思いを抱いたという。
普段はマイペースであり、親しい友人から「人の話を聞かないよね」と言われることもあるという。また、1人でよく映画館へ出かけるうえ、仕事終わりにはパスタ屋や定食屋にも入るほか、近所の魚の定食屋では男性客に混じって黙々と魚を食べているという。
グラビアについては、素肌にエプロンや手ブラなど、露出度が高いものへの恥ずかしさはないうえ、自分が良いなと思えば肌の露出はまったく気にならないという。また、見るたびに知らない自分が写っているなど、自分の表現の可能性を広げてくれる面白さがあるため、笑顔が増えて色んな人から「柔らかくなったね」と言われるようになったという。なお、尻の肌については、2024年カレンダーの発売記念ベントにて「ボディクリームなどを風呂上がりに毎日塗り、保湿などを欠かさないようにしていた」との旨を明かしている。
上京から6年が経過した2024年時点でも、初めてのテレビ番組の仕事は緊張する。それゆえ、基本的に「当たって砕けろ」の精神で仕事を分析し、自分の魅力が発揮される言動を考えて現場で出し尽くすが、放送を見るまでは安心できないという。
グラビアアイドルとしての美称には「グラビア界のビーナス」などが見られる。
同じくプラチナムプロダクション所属の花巻杏奈は、同郷にして小学生当時から仲が良く、尊敬してくれる後輩でもある。

🕰️ ˖ ࣪ εïз ⬦        REJECTS is a six-piece co-ed idol group under Angelico Entertainment. They debuted in 2017 with the lineup of REID, JIEUN, AIDEN, SUNHEE, and MIYU.
After the unfortunate passing of Sunhee in 2019, the group would go on a year hiatus and undergo a rebrand. With an original soft and sweet concept, when the group would reemerge in 2021, they'd take on a new and edgier concept as well as add four members: HANBIN, LOVE, JISU, and BEA.
This rebrand would prove to be successful, gaining the group a lot of traction and attention. However, Jisu would mysteriously leave Rejects in 2023 with no official explanation. He was swiftly replaced with ASH, forming their current lineup.

Reid's pre-debut life remains shrouded in mystery, with limited information available about his journey before joining REJECTS. His entrance into the limelight occurred with his debut in the co-ed group.
Reid is the son of affluent parents, both successful business owners. His father owns a lumbar company, while his mother is the proprietor of a hair care business. The influence of his family's success adds an intriguing layer to Reid's background.
Speculation surrounds Reid's debut, with some suggesting it might have been secured through financial means. Despite persistent rumors, Reid and his fellow group members staunchly reject these claims, emphasizing the authenticity of his entry into REJECTS.
Fun Fact! :: Reid is an avid collector of vintage vinyl records. He's shown his collection a few times, claiming he owns well over 200 records, and continues growing his collection.

Jieun was born in Busan, South Korea, to a trot singer mother and a famous record producing father. Her career path was pre-determined due to her parents, beginning her training at just 11 years old. Her entire life has been in the spotlight, making her grow a thick skin and a harsh personality.
Originally, Jieun would debut in the now-disbanded rotational group SE4SONS at 16. Jieun's anticipated debut with SE4SONS took an unexpected turn when allegations of her being a violent bully surfaced. Promo shots featuring her were posted on the official SE4SONS SNS accounts, creating initial excitement for her inclusion in the group.
Soon after the promotional material was released, allegations of Jieun's involvement in a violent bullying incident emerged. These claims were supported by photographic proof and accompanying documents. Despite the compelling evidence, the allegations were later deleted and erased from the internet, leaving a cloud of uncertainty.
In the face of controversy, Jieun maintained a mostly silent stance on the matter. The absence of a confirmed denial or acknowledgment allowed speculation to persist. Many interpreted her removal from the SE4SONS lineup as an implicit confirmation of the allegations, with the company seemingly choosing to overlook the issue.
Jieun addressed the controversy in a singular statement, expressing frustration: "You don’t know me or what happened. Stop bringing it up, or my company will take legal action." This solitary response added another layer of mystery to the unresolved allegations.
Years later, Jieun still remains the most controversial member of Rejects.

Aiden's journey into the spotlight commenced within the esteemed trainee group "Hi-Class," where he stood as the first member to graduate and make an official debut. His tenure in Hi-Class spanned approximately a year, preceded by two years of private training within the Angelico Entertainment system.
Aiden's graduation from Hi-Class, although a milestone as the first to achieve this feat, was marred by controversy. Being perceived as a "quiet" member who never ranked in the top ten during his tenure, the event garnered minimal attention. The unremarkable nature of his graduation led to a lackluster response from Hi-Class fans, with many choosing not to attend or tune in.
The aftermath of Aiden's graduation manifested as a barrage of hate and protest. Considered controversial due to the lack of fanfare during his Hi-Class departure, Aiden's addition to Rejects was met with skepticism and rejection. Fans chose to ignore him and excluded him from discussions about the group.
Speculation surrounding Aiden's family allegedly paying for his spot in Rejects further fueled the controversy. This speculation resulted in Aiden becoming a target for criticism, earning him the unfortunate reputation of being the group's punching bag. This dynamic persists not only within Rejects but extends to the broader context of Angelico Entertainment.
Fun Fact! :: Aiden is one of the highest-paid models under Angelico despite not being a model. He's easily the most recognizable face in the group.

Miyu's entry into entertainment began as a child model in Japan, where her early charm was noticed by talent scouts. She joined ANGELICO Entertainment in 2015, debuting in BLISSKISS as the main dancer and visual. The group faced challenges and disbanded in 2017 with minimal success. She would debut in Rejects a few months later to the dismay of BLISSKISS fans.
After Sunhee's passing, Miyu took on the role of Rejects' leader. Recognized for her natural leadership, she guided the co-ed group through transitions.
Miyu shares a close bond with Aiden, contributing to group cohesion. Their connection is a notable aspect of Rejects' dynamics. Miyu plays a key role in creating Rejects' music, adding a distinct sound to the co-ed ensemble.

Bang Hanbin, born in Busan, South Korea, in 1998, embarked on his entertainment journey with just two years of training. At 14, he made his original debut in 2012 with the controversial boy group "HIGHSKY" under the now-defunct label FANTASY ACADEMY. The group's mature concept for their young ages stirred criticism.
In 2015, an investigation into FANTASY ACADEMY unfolded, leading to the arrest of the CEO and staff for "misconduct" with underaged talent. HIGHSKY disbanded, propelling Hanbin into acting and a moderately successful soloist career.
Hanbin's return to the spotlight on Produce X showcased his visuals, humor, and poignant backstory. His revelations about mistreatment at FANTASY ACADEMY reignited public interest in his past.
Despite not making it to the debut lineup of X1, Hanbin found a new beginning with Rejects. Debuting as the visual, lead vocalist, and lead dancer, his multifaceted talents enhance the group's dynamic.

Isla Williams was born in her aunt's Malibu home on June 1st, 1999. Isla was raised by her aunt after her mother would never come to pick her up from her house when she was three. Isla's mother has never attempted to reconnect with her, and her father was unaware of her existence until she was fourteen. Though her upbringing was unconventional, Isla was a very happy child with a passion for singing and performing.
Isla's idol journey began when she was 15, joining an overseas JPOP group called "IceDream," where they would perform covers of Hello! Project & WACK songs. These covers would catch the attention of UP-FRONT PROMOTION, resulting in her getting recruited to be added to ANGERME, a group within Hello! Project. She would take on the stage name "Ai" during her time in ANGERME. She would graduate from the group in 2018 after being with the group for four years.
Isla would then go under a "rebrand" and debut in the rotational K-pop group GIRLGARDEN28 in 2019 under the stage name "Love" and quickly become a fan favorite. However, her addition to GG28 wouldn't last long as she would graduate in 2020, and her contract with Flowerbank would be dissolved.
Just a few months later, and to the shock of many, Love would reappear in Rejects as their main vocalist and lead dancer.

Ash Kim was born in Melbourne, Australia in 2000 to a single mother, being the youngest child alongside his older brother. He would move to South Korea at age 9 for his mother's work. Upon moving to South Korea, Ash would attend an international school where he would meet the "coolest people" he's ever met and the ones who sparked his love for music. Logan and Jinyoung would let him join their "band" after he begged them enough to do so, taking on the position of their drummer.
They began practicing at Logan’s house as a trio up until 2013, when Logan met their fourth and final member, Grace, who would later go by the stage name Ivy. After much consideration from the boys, Grace became an official member of the band, taking a position on the bass.
The rag-tag group began busking around Seoul and performing at small venues until they were picked up by Level Up Entertainment in 2015. While the group was excited to be under an actual label, Level Up Entertainment wiped their previous discography from the internet to give the group a “fresh start.” It’s been confirmed that this was done without any of the member's consent, and they’re still upset over their old discography essentially being lost.
Upon their debut under Level Up, the band did relevantly well and garnered a small yet dedicated fanbase. They still busked around Seoul and often performed mini concerts around Korea while giving out copies of their albums in hopes of gaining more fans. While things looked fine to the public, the band was struggling creatively behind the scenes due to artistic differences with their management.
In late 2017, Ash made a post on his Instagram story expressing how trapped he felt under his company and how the group was being punished with inactivity for not conforming to the image their label wanted for them. The post was later deleted, but it caused some buzz on the internet, gaining them more support.
Despite this support, Level Up Entertainment, in what is now known as an abuse of power, would disband 4OCEANS but would not release the members of their 10-year contract. After a lengthy legal battle, Ash, Logan, and Ivy were able to get out of their contracts, while Jinyoung was not so lucky and remained under Level Up Entertainment.
Ash would join Angelico Entertainment, apparently very close to the former CEO, Son Jinhwa, and produce under the label until he made his idol debut in 2020 with the now-disbanded group Cicada. After the abrupt disbandment of the group, Ash would be added to Rejects without notice, just appearing with them on Inkigayo one day.

Beatrice "Bea" Tennet made a crashing entrance into the KPOP landscape by being one of seven female contestants on the JYP survival show STRAY KIDS. She trained three years prior to appearing on the survival show, specializing in dance and vocals. She was noted for being close to the boys and a punching bag for netizens as they deemed her "too touchy" with the other contestants.
She would make it to the final episode alongside three other female contestants but would not make the final group. Despite this, Bea would make her debut in ITZY in 2019 as the group's main dancer and lead rapper. While in ITZY, Bea would find herself being the punching bag for Kpop stans online and struggled to deal with the hate train towards her and her groupmates.
Due to this, in mid-2020, Bea would take an "indefinite hiatus" from ITZY that would later result in her departing from the group within the same year.
After practically vanishing from the public eye, Bea would reappear in Rejects in 2021, clearly doing much better than she was the year prior. She would take on the position of main dancer, lead vocalist, and sub-rapper.

List of Speak Now TV-related Easter eggs Taylor has dropped recently (just drop it already ffs)
NB: I'm only including hints that are obvious and don't require mental gymnastics. Your mileage might vary, of course.
27 February 2020: The Man music video is released, with the iconic graffitied wall showing Speak Now coming after Red.
26 October 2020: Taylor posts this TikTok.
I really think this is a really obvious hint, but nobody ever seems to talk about it... anyways notice how the colours of the garments she points at go purple > blue > green > black?
9 November 2021: Red (Taylor's Version) signed CDs go on sale. On her website, the price $20.10 is written in purple.
12 November 2021: "Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours."
13 December 2021: Taylor turns 32. Her AMA award for Speak Now can be seen in this photo she posts.
20 January 2021: Taylor is named 2022 Record Store Day Ambassador. The logo uses purple text and we lose our minds.
5 May 2022: Taylor Nation drops Speak Now (and 1989) merch for some reason.
Apparently, this was to show the Speak Now trademark was still being used, but I'm still putting it here.
21 October 2022: Anti-Hero music video released.
The koi fish guitar from the Speak Now World Tour makes an appearance.
Also, in the official YouTube video for the TSAntiHeroChallenge thing, she wears the purple dress from the Speak Now tour.
25 October 2022: Bejeweled music video released.
This day is the 12th anniversary of Speak Now.
Enchanted plays at the beginning.
Laura Dern says "Speak not".
Taylor presses the 3 button in the elevator, which is coloured purple.
The 13 button and the 13th indicator light (representing the album after Midnights) are also purple.
Taylor's hairpin says "SN".
Koi fish appears in the windows of the castle.
Long Live plays at the end.
1 November 2022: "I'm enchanted to announce my next tour..."
27 January 2023: Lavender Haze music video released.
The koi fish appears again.
29 January 2023: The official Taylor Swift 2024 calendar is shown on the publisher's website. It features photos from the Speak Now tour.
The cover picture is the same one used in the Eras Tour to represent the Speak Now era.
It will be available for purchase on July 20th.
17 March 2023: Taylor drops If This Was A Movie (TV), which was a deluxe track on Speak Now, and Safe & Sound and Eyes Open (TV), which were first performed live on the Speak Now tour.
9 April 2023: Photos from the set of a music video being filmed in Liverpool are leaked. The Speak Now tour flying balcony and piano can be seen.
13 April 2023: Taylor says that "recently one of my albums has been on my mind a lot" before performing Speak Now.
1 May 2023: Taylor posts this. The purple heart speaks for itself.
5 May 2023: WE WON. WE FINALLY WON.
