But you may get some surprises — the artist pulled out “Thique,” “All Up In Your Mind,” and “Drunk in Love” for her Atlanta show (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/B7Album/status/1691287228696158208\">the first time since her first show in Europe\u003c/a>.)

What follows is a quick rundown of some of the highlights of these new traditions at the concert that are almost certainly in store for you at the Eras shows at Levi’s Stadium — and to ensure you enjoy yourself as much as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that becomes evident during the Eras concert is Swift’s penchant to mythologize herself, with references and clues — and she loves clues — weaved seamlessly into her performances. She is, you could say, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe in one person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some things you may see from fans, whose excitement will be dazzlingly infectious. (As \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/look-what-taylor-made-us-do\">my favorite write-up of The Eras Tour, from \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, states, “Every person I spoke with at the show was the nicest person I’d ever met. The security guards, the hot dog salesmen, the bartenders, the audience. They were all so nice that I found myself manufacturing excuses for interaction … .”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A primer on the friendship bracelets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might have seen talk that friendship bracelets were banned from Levi’s Stadium, after a July 20 tweet from the Levi’s Stadium account that bracelets were \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682175302481453057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1682175302481453057%7Ctwgr%5E798a98cfa7397e67f7655321f1bea3896af02a8a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sfchronicle.com%2Fbayarea%2Farticle%2Ftaylor-swift-eras-tour-levis-stadium-tailgate-18253861.php\">“not permitted in the stadium.”\u003c/a> However, Levi’s Stadium appears to have reversed this position as of Friday morning, tweeting that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682436231060389889?s=20\">friendship bracelets were permitted after all\u003c/a> — which the stadium’s spokesperson then confirmed in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backstory: Inspired by her song “You’re on Your Own Kid,” fans have been donning hand-made friendship bracelets with lyrics and deep cuts scribed on them — not just for wearing at home, but for bringing along to Swift’s shows. So at the Eras concert, you’ll likely be trading bracelets with other Swifties while you are waiting for the show to start or in the concessions line.

There will be road closures on Tasman Drive on Friday morning, the 28th, and enforced through the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levi’s Stadium’s security information confirms that “Fans without event tickets will not be permitted to congregate in parking areas or on the streets,” and that stadium staff will be working closely with local police “ensure orderly access for ticketed fans, emergency vehicles, and to provide a safe environment for fans and event staff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/taylor-swift-eras-tour-levis-stadium-rules/3280510/\">Santa Clara Councilmember Kathy Watanabe told NBC Bay Area\u003c/a> and the\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/taylor-swift-santa-clara-tailgate-18262219.php\">\u003cem> San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that she believes the stadium doesn’t have control over public streets in the way, and that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/newsdamian/status/1682516492192190465\">fans \u003cem>should\u003c/em> be able to tailgate outside Levi’s Stadium\u003c/a> to hear the music.

Merchandise will be located in Red Lot 1 (and also inside the stadium.) However you can’t park in Red Lot 1 if you don’t have a ticket.

What follows is a quick rundown of some of the highlights of these new traditions at the concert that are almost certainly in store for you at the Eras shows at Levi’s Stadium — and to ensure you enjoy yourself as much as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that becomes evident during the Eras concert is Swift’s penchant to mythologize herself, with references and clues — and she loves clues — weaved seamlessly into her performances. She is, you could say, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe in one person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some things you may see from fans, whose excitement will be dazzlingly infectious. (As \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/look-what-taylor-made-us-do\">my favorite write-up of The Eras Tour, from \u003cem>The New Yorker\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, states, “Every person I spoke with at the show was the nicest person I’d ever met. The security guards, the hot dog salesmen, the bartenders, the audience. They were all so nice that I found myself manufacturing excuses for interaction … .”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A primer on the friendship bracelets\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might have seen talk that friendship bracelets were banned from Levi’s Stadium, after a July 20 tweet from the Levi’s Stadium account that bracelets were \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682175302481453057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1682175302481453057%7Ctwgr%5E798a98cfa7397e67f7655321f1bea3896af02a8a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sfchronicle.com%2Fbayarea%2Farticle%2Ftaylor-swift-eras-tour-levis-stadium-tailgate-18253861.php\">“not permitted in the stadium.”\u003c/a> However, Levi’s Stadium appears to have reversed this position as of Friday morning, tweeting that \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LevisStadium/status/1682436231060389889?s=20\">friendship bracelets were permitted after all\u003c/a> — which the stadium’s spokesperson then confirmed in an email to KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backstory: Inspired by her song “You’re on Your Own Kid,” fans have been donning hand-made friendship bracelets with lyrics and deep cuts scribed on them — not just for wearing at home, but for bringing along to Swift’s shows. So at the Eras concert, you’ll likely be trading bracelets with other Swifties while you are waiting for the show to start or in the concessions line. Make as many as you are comfortable with, but a handful would be good so you have enough to give out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given the bag policy at Levi’s Stadium, you’ll probably need to either wear your bracelets or put them in a clear bag (it can be a Ziploc, too).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children’s bracelet kits are likely your more cost-effective way to make a bunch of bracelets.

"content": "\u003cp>Political action committees (PACs) spent more than $3 million on the city council race in Santa Clara, a city of roughly 130,000 people in the heart of Silicon Valley. That outlay of cash is raising eyebrows among voters — and even the candidates themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It appears that one is trying to gain some private benefit from [those donations] and put private interests ahead of the public interests,” said John Pelissero, a senior fellow at Santa Clara University’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.scu.edu/ethics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Markkula Center for Applied Ethics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money, most of it from Jed York, the owner of the San Francisco 49ers football team, highlights an ongoing conflict between the team and the Santa Clara City Council. York’s money is flowing to a block of city council candidates that largely come from outside of politics and are challenging incumbents or candidates backed by the current council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning in late September, York began donating money to a PAC founded by former Congressman Mike Honda, called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CEGFVR/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Citizens for Efficient Government and Full Voting Rights\u003c/a>. Independent expenditure documents show that York donated $250,000 on Sept. 30, $800,000 on Oct. 1, $300,000 on Oct. 6, $950,000 on Oct. 13 and $600,000 on Oct. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that money is going towards campaign mailers and television ads supporting four candidates: Suds Jain, Harbir Bhatia, Kevin Park and Anthony Becker. The PAC is also spending on ads attacking incumbent candidates Kathy Watanabe and Teresa O’Neill as well as Robert Mezzetti and Bob O’Keefe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2014, York and the City Council have been at odds over the management of Levi’s Stadium, which was built for the 49ers to play in. The two parties have fought over a number of issues, including curfews for events held at the stadium, changes in management agreements, the payment of stadium employees and late rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As these disagreements escalated, York has become increasingly involved in local politics. During the March elections, York started a PAC called No on C-Santa Clarans for Full Voting Rights, which worked towards defeating the local \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11803793/santa-claras-measure-c-a-fight-over-dark-money-and-district-lines\">Measure C\u003c/a>, which would have condensed the city’s six voting districts into three. York donated $330,000 to defeat the measure, and it eventually failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fall, with nearly $3 million in donations, York’s involvement has risen to a whole new scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>49ers spokesman Rahul Chandhok said the team wants to support candidates that represent diversity and will uphold voting rights in the city the football team calls home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park, who is running for a council seat in District 4, has raised about $16,000 on his own. Honda’s PAC — funded by York — spent more than $370,000 on mailers and ads supporting his run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"election 2020 coverage\" tag=\"election-2020\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park thinks that the candidates who are benefiting from York’s support are increasingly being grouped together in the minds of voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re running individual campaigns,” said Park. “But people understand there is a fight between the incumbent-backed candidates and the independent candidates. It is a little bit of a battle of one team versus another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park said he was surprised to learn that York backed his campaign, especially since he was opposed to the football team’s moving to Santa Clara back in 2014. But over the past few years, Park has felt the city hasn’t cooperated with the 49ers and has failed to talk to them reasonably. He figures Jed York supports his run because he can be more understanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The 49ers are more willing to work with a group of people that opposes them but is willing to talk, as opposed to a group of people, like the current city council, that opposes them but doesn’t want to talk,” Park said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But O’Neill, the incumbent who is running against Park, is suspicious of York’s motives. She has been on the city council since 2007 and feels that the 49ers are a behemoth and that it requires skill, patience and skepticism to handle their complicated contract. She said that she has tried to cooperate and “play nice” with the football team, but got “steamrolled” in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m scared — not for myself — I will be fine,” O’Neill said. “But I’m scared for Santa Clara because I don’t think some of these people that are running, I don’t think they realize what they’re up against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\" Jessica Levinson, Loyola Marymount Law School professor\"]‘The concern is that candidates are overly responsive to monied interests and if it doesn’t change the way they vote, [then] it might change the way they listen or talk.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s not alone in her skepticism. \u003ca href=\"https://scpoapac.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Santa Clara Police Association PAC\u003c/a> has spent a little more than $70,000 on a campaign supporting the incumbent and city council-backed candidates and opposing the political newcomers. In early October, the association created a \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/d9BiyOFwPrw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">satirical video\u003c/a> mocking York’s expenditures on his candidates of choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhatia is running for the District 1 seat and, like Park, was confused by York’s support. She is nervous of what voters will think of all this money backing her campaign and resents the idea that she is bought and paid for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe all the PACs just should have stayed out,” Bhatia said. “We had such a great grassroots campaign. It’s not like we waited until [the 49ers] got involved. We’ve been working our butts off for the last five months.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bhatia said she wishes that money had gone towards building affordable housing in the city or towards education. Before York started donating millions to support her run, she felt she was able to discuss the issues that face her city with voters. Now, she said, all anyone wants to talk about is the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson said that voters and candidates can only speculate about the true motivations of donors who give large sums of money towards political campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think there’s anything inherently evil about spending large sums of independent expenditures,” Levinson said. “I think it raises a whole host of questions about the influence of money in politics and the best way to run elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levinson pointed out that since the Supreme Court’s ruling in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/lowdown/1017/when-money-became-speech-the-rise-of-the-super-pac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Citizens United \u003c/a>case, independent expenditures, or money spent by a political organization without guidance from candidates, are considered a form of free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In terms of [York’s] goal of diversifying the city council, I think most people would view that as a laudable goal, and we can ask ourselves whether the ends justify the means,” she said. “The concern is that candidates are overly responsive to monied interests and if it doesn’t change the way they vote, [then] it might change the way they listen or talk.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

That outlay of cash is raising eyebrows among voters — and even the candidates themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It appears that one is trying to gain some private benefit from [those donations] and put private interests ahead of the public interests,” said John Pelissero, a senior fellow at Santa Clara University’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.scu.edu/ethics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Markkula Center for Applied Ethics\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money, most of it from Jed York, the owner of the San Francisco 49ers football team, highlights an ongoing conflict between the team and the Santa Clara City Council. York’s money is flowing to a block of city council candidates that largely come from outside of politics and are challenging incumbents or candidates backed by the current council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning in late September, York began donating money to a PAC founded by former Congressman Mike Honda, called the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CEGFVR/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Citizens for Efficient Government and Full Voting Rights\u003c/a>. Independent expenditure documents show that York donated $250,000 on Sept. 30, $800,000 on Oct. 1, $300,000 on Oct. 6, $950,000 on Oct. 13 and $600,000 on Oct. 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All that money is going towards campaign mailers and television ads supporting four candidates: Suds Jain, Harbir Bhatia, Kevin Park and Anthony Becker. The PAC is also spending on ads attacking incumbent candidates Kathy Watanabe and Teresa O’Neill as well as Robert Mezzetti and Bob O’Keefe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The two parties have fought over a number of issues, including curfews for events held at the stadium, changes in management agreements, the payment of stadium employees and late rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As these disagreements escalated, York has become increasingly involved in local politics. During the March elections, York started a PAC called No on C-Santa Clarans for Full Voting Rights, which worked towards defeating the local \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11803793/santa-claras-measure-c-a-fight-over-dark-money-and-district-lines\">Measure C\u003c/a>, which would have condensed the city’s six voting districts into three. York donated $330,000 to defeat the measure, and it eventually failed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This fall, with nearly $3 million in donations, York’s involvement has risen to a whole new scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>49ers spokesman Rahul Chandhok said the team wants to support candidates that represent diversity and will uphold voting rights in the city the football team calls home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park, who is running for a council seat in District 4, has raised about $16,000 on his own. Honda’s PAC — funded by York — spent more than $370,000 on mailers and ads supporting his run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is a little bit of a battle of one team versus another.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Park said he was surprised to learn that York backed his campaign, especially since he was opposed to the football team’s moving to Santa Clara back in 2014. But over the past few years, Park has felt the city hasn’t cooperated with the 49ers and has failed to talk to them reasonably. He figures Jed York supports his run because he can be more understanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The 49ers are more willing to work with a group of people that opposes them but is willing to talk, as opposed to a group of people, like the current city council, that opposes them but doesn’t want to talk,” Park said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But O’Neill, the incumbent who is running against Park, is suspicious of York’s motives. She has been on the city council since 2007 and feels that the 49ers are a behemoth and that it requires skill, patience and skepticism to handle their complicated contract. She said that she has tried to cooperate and “play nice” with the football team, but got “steamrolled” in the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m scared — not for myself — I will be fine,” O’Neill said. “But I’m scared for Santa Clara because I don’t think some of these people that are running, I don’t think they realize what they’re up against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Trump asserted that poor forest management was to blame and that the weather would get cooler. But Trump’s denial of climate change is at odds with public opinion. According to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, more than 70% of Americans believe that climate change is happening, and nearly 60% believe that it is mostly due to human activities. Meanwhile, California remains a leader on fighting greenhouse gas emissions, with more than 30% of its energy coming from renewables like solar and wind, a figure that is mandated to double in a decade. Last week, Gov.
