From straining my vocal cords from screaming the lyrics to “Cruel Summer” to then crying during the “folklore” setlist, experiencing Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” was nothing short of phenomenal, and it’s been a long time coming.
One conspiracy theory suggests that mattress stores are actually a front for a more illegal type of business — money laundering. Since that’s not my expertise, I won’t speculate on the real reason for all those stores, but it sure is strange.
Gentlemen, if you’re not late to your own wedding, is it really a wedding day? The answer is a strong no. So, here are some of the best ways to spend the wedding morning.
Ring by spring isn’t always a reality for every student. All stories will look different, and if Will and Ally Best are any indication, the best is yet to come for all of us.
Springtime at Baylor is, like most other places, a season of love. It seems everyone knows at least one person who got down on bended knee, received a ring or said their “I do’s” during these last few months on campus. It’s all in good fun to watch the relationships and marriages bloom, and the topic of officiation is not really on anyone’s mind, that is, until asked to be one.
For decades now, the air of love has lingered in the building from wedding ceremonies held in the Foyer of Meditation — one of the library’s most magnificent rooms — and many a knee has been taken in proposal on the stairs within. These stairs lead to two golden clasped hands — a symbol of Robert and Elizabeth Browning’s love, the mid-nineteenth century poets who were the inspiration for the library 72 years ago.
The music you play at your wedding can influence the event all day long, and picking the right songs means you’ll be instantly transported back to that day with each listen. Here are some suggestions for your big day playlist.
Deep in the Heart Film Festival | March 31 | 7 p.m. | See passion projects, short films and more from young, aspiring filmmakers to seasoned professionals, all from here in Waco.
With the warming weather brought on by March come spring flowers, and ‘WILDFLOWER’ is no exception.
But, nobody could say that about “Ocean Blvd.” This album is one in a string of a new era of Lana Del Rey. Lyrically, she’s moved past the cigarette-smoking, Santa Monica Pier, sugar baby, pin-up dream world she once lived in.
To me, one of the best sides on Earth is a slice of bread. Not just any bread, but a crispy slice of Italian restaurant bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic glaze. It’s the perfect compliment to most dishes, but especially a good, comforting pasta.
As bands like fooligan, Hunter Cox & The Big League Boys, sack lunch!, Montclair and Rococo Disco projected out into Fountain Mall, the ears of those in the crowd were met with colorful rock and indie tunes. Not far off, more music sounded at the SUB Bowl stage, hosting bands and artists like SUNNN, Braden Black, Secondhand Son and Brother Boy.
Don’t let other people in the audience ruin your vibe if you like to sing loudly and dance around. As long as you aren’t whacking anyone with your freeform dance moves, you’re here to have fun, not to fit into a crowd.
Not to depress you or anything, but, not to worry — “Boyhood” is actually really upbeat, so you won’t get sad if you don’t listen to the lyrics. Just block it out, you guys.
This year’s musical act is somewhat different from last year’s, when Apollo LTD headlined on Fountain Mall. Whaley, the drummer for Sunnn, said Baylor’s decision to highlight student and local bands instead of outsourcing the music, is a blessing and feels like a nod to their talent.
“Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan: Brothers in Blues” documentary | March 27 | 7 p.m. | Waco Hippodrome Theatre, 724 Austin Ave. | Come see the work decades in the making by one of Baylor’s own alumni, exploring the stories of these two Texan blues legends.

In honor of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour kicking off over the weekend, the Arts and Life desk (and some of our friends) wanted to chip in with our favorite Taylor Swift songs. Consider this our very own Eras Tour setlist, if we were calling the shots. Ready for it?
“My motto is ‘do stuff that scares you,’ and ‘Athena’ scares me in all the right ways,” Marrs said. “It’s about two women qualifying for the junior Olympics in fencing, and I’ve never been a woman or a fencer, so I’m learning a lot of things in the process.”
“Brothers in Blues” offers a never-before seen, vastly more comprehensive look at the lives of the world-famous Texan guitar legends Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughan, screening in the Waco Hippodrome Theater on March 27.
As the piece came to a close after riding the highs of Beethoven’s hope and the lows of his torment, the piano accompaniment and voices faded, but the choir kept ‘singing.’ In silence their mouths moved, and Holmes continued to conduct as if to convince the audience and allow them a taste of Beethoven’s inevitable surrender to his deafness.
“All Of The Girls You Loved Before” is a previously unreleased track from Taylor Swift’s 2019 album, “Lover.” It’s easy to see how this one fits the theme of that album. Warm, fuzzy and really romantic, “All Of The Girls You Loved Before” is Swift at her most content, most mature in terms of her songwriting.
For ZZZ, “Noche” has been around since the early 2010s, according to Tinker. Despite a lack of charter from the university for ZZZ, the group still functions similarly to a fraternity, but aims to create a safer environment for college kids to have fun, Tinker said.

A triumph in subverting expectations, “Cocaine Bear” offers fun, genuine story telling and more than a little bit of violence in a reasonable 90-minute shell.
One of the biggest cases known to South Carolina just closed with a verdict many people saw from the start, and Netflix is shining light on the secrets of this family.
This May, the Martin Museum will welcome back one of its beloved alumni with an art exhibition to go along with her.
