LIVVY TOURY

Words out that Olivia Rodrigo, our beloved singer-songwriter, is still touring. Rodrigo must be tired, however her money she's making is earned. The tickets are going for $297, a whopping £225.87! Olivia opted for charity platinum pricing, making the tickets inaccessible to many people. Her merch stakes are often high, but as soon as you step outside her face may pop out at you from the back of her woolly, comforting hoodies! Ever since her “Sour” album, this girl has been through it all and introduced herself to celebrity life! Her career started at a young age. Many young girls look up to her, aspiring her. Do you? I love myself some Olivia! The singer is very likeable, as a person, with her amazing songs as well. Louis has been supporting her throughout the tour, her partner. They have been seen roaming around together holding hands, what a nice couple!

POP QUEENS LATEST 

 Also related to merch, have any of you been to H&M recently? Ariana Grande, “The Pop Queen”, groups of people like to call her, has launched a new collaboration! The colour palettes seem to have taken quite a shift. Ariana was known for her pretty in pink and other light colours for dresses on stage. The Pop-Star posted her in dark clothes most of the time when she was alone on socials. Guess we can call this new dark colour palette yours and mine! Ariana has got to be top 1 on my singers list, but are you aware she's back in acting? After “Scream Queens” Ariana stopped acting for a while, now she's acting in a musical so she can sing as well! It's called Wicked, our Pop Queen is now our Pop Princess I guess! She has been taking lessons for her voice to become more high pitched, to match the vibe of Glinda. This has sparked a lot of controversy, hundreds of thousands of people are missing her old voice. For further detail, I hope all of you are excited for November 22nd, the official release date. Keep your eyes peeled for the cinema tickets! 

MAMMA MIA…

I have spoken about singers too much to you individuals, but some information has recently been leaked, possibly being true. Fingers crossed! It is told that Maryl Streep is starring yet again. Mamma Mia 3 could be in the works.. who knows? Do you want this to be true? Personally, I have grown up with a passion for the Greek scenery. I can not wait to see the latest in this hopefully coming up movie! I would just like to stress that I apologise for all the singer news, but let's manifest that this latest movie headline has influenced you to enjoy the recent inside to the life of celebrities! Enjoy the rest of your day, and if you would like to hear about someone else's day, you know where to find me!

 The Second World War was a worldwide conflict spanning 6 years. It encompassed most countries and it caused millions of deaths and saw advancements in many fields such as weapons, vehicles, tactics and even production. The two enemies (the allies and the axis) fought to the bitter end, with both sides losing catastrophic amounts of soldiers. After the first use of gas in warfare (1914) it was used on a much wider front in WWII with soldiers being equipped with grenades filled with tear gas and a larger production of gas filled shells. This (using gas as a weapon) is classed as a war crime under the Geneva convention and this is why. Over 100 Nazis, Japanese and Italian generals and government members were charged with war crimes. 

On the side of the citizens, they were ruthlessly bombed, shot, tortured, and more because of the war and the belief that they could have been spies. Toward the end of the war in Europe, a few of the Axis countries -Like Italy - had revolutions. The revolutions caused some countries to eventually switch sides or just dissolve altogether. The war also had many huge battles such as the Battle of the Bulge (Ardennes offensive), the Battle of Britain and the Battle of Stalingrad and the final battle in the second world war was the Battle of Okinawa. Soon after the US Bombed Japan with an atomic bomb, causing thousands of innocent deaths. This eventually ended the war. 

But before the war, came peacetime where some people where happy, but others where angry. Like one man, Adolf Hitler. He thought that Germany had been treated unfairly in the Treaty of Versailles and so he decided that it was best for Germany to dissolve the Weimar Republic and then rearm The Third Reich (Nazi Germany) and try to regain territory. This, of course angered a lot of different countries, such as Britain, France, Belgium and more. This spiralled into the massive conflict of the Second World War.
