Rocket sleds, stunts and a $100M budget: Inside Taylor Swift’s ‘unbelievable’ Eras Tour

Dave Brooks — Billboard Senior Director of Live Music and Touring — told The Post. “The production quality is just so far ahead of whatever has been [done] … They’re building these very elaborate sets that they’re using for several songs as opposed to the whole concert.”The price tag is also astronomical.“The cost has gotta be well north of $100 million … probably a lot more than that,” said Brooks. “It’s gonna be one of the most expensive tours ever, but it will also be one of the highest-generating tours financially.

‘Jeopardy!’ contestant’s huge loss: ‘Dumbest player in history’
Wednesday evening’s episode, contestant Karen Morris made a bad choice with her bet when it came to the final rounds of the trivia show — and she lost big time.Morris was in the lead with earnings of $21,800, while the other players had scored $7,100 and $6,400.During the Double Jeopardy segment, Morris opted for a huge bet — $10,000 — in an attempt to emerge as the victor of the game.“This artist the younger was working on yet another portrait of Henry VIII when he died in 1543,” host Ken Jennings said in giving her the clue, and the veterinary student, head shaking, struggled to come up with an answer before time ran out.“I’m sorry — Hans Holbein the Younger, the painter,” Jennings said, to which Morris responded in a whisper: “OK.”When it came down to the Final Jeopardy round, the category was “American Novelists,” and the Virginia native had just $11,400 to her name.The clue: “He served with an airman named Yohannan in World War II, and despite what readers might think, he enjoyed his service.”The correct answer was “Catch-22” author Joseph Heller, and Jennings underscored the importance of Morris’ forthcoming response, saying, “She had a big lead before tangling with that last Daily Double — she needs to get Heller her.”Unfortunately, a blank-faced Morris, who had wagered $6,001, wrote Hunter S. Thompson — the “gonzo journalist” known for “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” With a shrug, she unceremoniously dropped to $5,399 and a third-place finish.Fans couldn’t help but scoff and roll their virtual eyes at Morris’ blunder.“Karen Morris might be the dumbest #jeopardy player in history.

Jeremy Renner reunites with snowplow after accident: ‘She’s finally making her way home’
“extensive” injuries in Lake Tahoe.It was revealed Renner was attempting to stop a snowplow from sliding and hitting his nephew before it ran over his leg, resulting in the nasty accident.After losing a significant amount of blood, the actor underwent surgeries and received round-the-clock care from medics.The Marvel actor was using his snowplow to clear a path out of his five-bedroom home after the area had been slammed by a massive snowstorm.The storm had left over 35,000 people without power in the area.He was airlifted to a hospital near Reno after a neighbor who happened to be a doctor applied a tourniquet to his leg to stop the bleeding, and was later transferred to the intensive care unit after surgeries following the incident.His friend and former co-star Evangeline Lilly last month gave fans an update on Renner’s recovery, saying he is making significant progress.Lilly said the 52-year-old “has recovered like a mo-fo” following a recent visit where Renner was in a wheelchair.Renner came home from the hospital in January and has been recovering since.“I walked in his house and got chicken skin, ’cause I was like, ‘Why are you mobile? Why are you mobile? What’s happening?’ I expected to sit at his bedside and hold his hand while he moaned and groaned in pain and wasn’t able to move,” she told Access.“He was wheeling himself around, laughing with his friends.

‘Wheel of Fortune’ contestant wows Pat Sajak with unique talent, wins $30K
Cube of Fortune.A graduate student and barista had an interesting flex to show off at a bizarre request from “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak.“Take something out of your pocket,” Nathan Benson from Plano, Texas, was told by Sajak.The accounting student nonchalantly pulled a jumbled Rubik’s Cube out of his jacket pocket and started solving the colorful square while continuing his conversation with Sajak.An eager Sajak asked Benson what the record was for the fast-solving of the cube, to which the barista says, “Like three and a half seconds,” revealing that he’s much slower at solving the Rubik’s cube with his eyes opened.“I’m really good at solving it blindfolded, and I actually have a Texas state record for solving it blindfolded,” Benson humbly bragged to the host.Before Sajak could ask another question, the contestant solved the puzzle.Benson solved the brain game live on air in about 15 seconds and proudly held up the speed feat for the audience to notice.After solving his pocket puzzle, Benson went to unscramble the remaining puzzles in the game and was crowned victor of the episode — winning nearly $30K.Benson was then sent to the bonus round, where he could not solve the puzzle after selecting the four letters “DBCO.”The puzzle ended up being “Qualified Judge” — and to Benson’s credit, he did guess the word “judge.”Sajak, 76, who’s been hosting “Wheel of Fortune” since 1981, gave fans of the game show pause on two different occasions earlier this week.On Tuesday, the host put contestant Fred Jackson in a playful chokehold after he completed a perfect game.Before Jackson took home $75,800 in total from the game and bonus round and was grappled by Sajak, he did mention to the host that he’s a professional wrestler
