Kamala Harris campaign staffers warned not to reach out to Taylor Swift: ‘Doug Emhoff was handling it'
Doug Emhoff was tasked with getting Taylor Swift to stump for his wife, Kamala Harris, on her ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign — but failed to seal the deal, according to a new book. Rumors swirled on Election Day eve that the chart-topping pop star would perform, or at least make an appearance, at the then-vice president's final rally in Philadelphia, near Swift's hometown of West Redding, Pa. The 'Love Story' singer, however, had apparently already rebuffed the former second gentleman's efforts to get her to do anything more than endorse the failed Democratic presidential nominee, journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf explain in their forthcoming book, '2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America.' Advertisement 3 Swift endorsed Harris after her only debate with Trump last September, but never appeared on the campaign trail for the Democratic presidential TAS Rights Management 'Swift proved to be a special challenge,' the authors of the new book, due out Tuesday, explained. 'Staffers who worked on celebrity appearances were instructed not to make any outreach to her universe; Doug Emhoff was handling it.' Emhoff, a former Los Angeles entertainment lawyer, had a prior relationship with Swift's attorney, Doug Baldridge, and had reached out to him 'to convey that the campaign would appreciate any efforts the pop star could make to help Harris' before Swift's surprise post-debate endorsement, the book claimed. Advertisement Baldridge's devastating response to the Harris camp was: 'Swift would do what Swift thought was best.' 'Nothing more than the endorsement ever materialized,' the authors noted. Philadelphia rally-goers were instead treated to speeches and performances by Fat Joe, Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, The Roots, and Oprah Winfrey. The Harris campaign put on several star-studded concerts in the days leading up to the former vice president's Election Day defeat. Advertisement Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Megan Thee Stallion, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, 2 Chainz and Mumford & Sons were among other artists and musical acts that lent their talents to the Harris campaign in an apparent effort to get low-propensity voters out to the polls. Grammy Award-winning artists Beyonce, Cardi B and Jennifer Lopez also appeared on the stump for Harris, but didn't perform — upsetting some Harris supporters. 3 The Harris campaign reportedly spent tens of millions of dollars on concerts in the run up to Election Day. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post 3 Harris campaign staffers working on celebrity outreach were instructed not to make overtures to Swift's camp because Emhoff was working on roping her in, according to a new book. Bruce Glikas/WireImage Advertisement The series of election eve concerts alone reportedly set the campaign back $20 million. The performances were held in swing states that all went for President Trump the following day. 'Privately, some campaign staff raised concerns that the major rallies may not be worth the millions of dollars they cost to stage or the staff investment,' the authors stated, noting that 'There was scant evidence that the rallies were persuading voters or necessarily boosting turnout.'

Jazzablanca's wildest night yet : Caravan Palace and Black Eyed Peas bring down the house
It's Saturday night at Jazzablanca Village, the third day of this 18th edition—and the atmosphere is nothing like the two previous days. The venue is buzzing with festivalgoers, busier than ever. This time, more young people have shown up for a fiery lineup: Caravan Palace and the Black Eyed Peas. The party kicked off at Scene 21 with British jazz musician, saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Nubya Nyasha Garcia. She got things off to a powerful start with her extraordinary saxophone riffs, electrifying an audience eager to dance the night away. Caravan Palace brings electro-jazz to Casablanca Later, on the Casablanca Anfa stage, the energy reached a whole new level as Caravan Palace performed for the first time ever in Morocco. The French electro-swing band was welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd, mostly young fans, whose numbers far surpassed those of the previous two nights. They launched straight into a head-banging, jazzy set packed with saxophone, clarinet, and trombone solos. «Bonsoir Casa! You can't believe how happy we are to be here for the first time», lead singer Zoé Colotis shouted. One of the band members followed up with a message in Darija: «Salam Casa, labas? Kolchi labas? M3akom Caravan Palace! Hna ferhanine m3akom! Dima Maghrib, 3acha l'malik!» Their charisma and stage presence were magnetic. With hits like Mirrors, Wonderland and Lone Digger, the band had the entire venue clapping, jumping, and singing along. The show reached a theatrical climax with a slow-motion robot dance before diving back into a full-throttle party mode. By the end of their set, the crowd was fully fired up, and impatiently waiting for the night's headliner: The Black Eyed Peas. Morocco rocks, and so do the Peas The transition was seamless. Spectacular visuals lit up the stage as the iconic group made their entrance to deafening screams. They opened with Let's Get It Started, instantly setting the crowd in motion. The Peas powered through a high-octane set. J. Rey Soul, the group's female vocalist, took the stage with her phone in hand, capturing the roaring crowd. «We came to Morocco for one thing», said «Morocco rocks!» The crowd shouted back: «Morocco! Morocco!» From Boom Boom Pow and Pump It to Mamacita and The Time (Dirty Bit), the setlist was packed with fan favorites. «This is not the last time we're coming back», they promised. «We'll visit Marrakech, but Casablanca is the best!» The audience roared in delight, waving heart signs and phone flashlights during Where Is the Love? The whole venue pulsed with emotion and unity. A freestyle shoutout to Morocco, live guitar riffs, and multiple encores, including I Gotta Feeling, kept the party going late into the night. The evening closed with an explosion of confetti and a powerful moment as returned to the stage draped in the Moroccan flag, taking a bow with the rest of the band. That's a wrap. A night full of rhythm, emotion, and connection, Casablanca showed once again that it has the soul of a true festival city.
