Taylor Swift literally shut down the streets of Los Angeles on Wednesday night when she made an appearance at The Grove for the premiere of her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The movie debuted at the 14-screen AMC movie theater present at the luxury mall, which ceased all other operations on Wednesday in order to prepare for an event that garnered thousands of Swifties, including Beyoncé. Swift called the Queen Bey’s appearance “an actual fairytale.” While the movie debuted Wednesday night in LA, the public release of the concert film is scheduled for Thursday. Taylor Swift wrapped up the North American leg of her sold-out tour in August, but the superstar is heading back on the road for a quick, three-day performance in Brazil next month before kicking off a longer international leg in February 2024.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is proposing a new rule that seeks to eliminate phony junk fees — those hidden costs that can unexpectedly increase fprices at checkout. According to a release from the FTC, the proposed regulation would affect several industries, including event tickets, hotels, and the rental market. Should the policy go into effect, companies that continue to charge these fees could be fined and forced to reimburse consumers. The Commission noted in the memo that they’d received roughly 12,000 complaints on how charges affect an individual’s personal spending or business.

The first signature athlete in Reebok history is making an official full-circle return with the company.

LVMH shares fell as much as 8% on Wednesday after the luxury goods company said revenue growth in the third quarter was much slower than in the first half of 2022. The French brand publicized earnings late Tuesday after the market closed, and numbers revealed quarterly revenue growth of 9% year over year, a decline from 17% in the second quarter. Revenue was up 14% in the first nine months of 2023, compared to 20% growth in the same period last year. LVMH’s wines and spirits sector experienced a 14% plunge in third-quarter sales, too. LVMH justified the decline by saying demand for its Hennessy cognac in the United States had been affected by the economic environment, retailers’ high inventories, and a “normalization” of demand after the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Tiffany are under the LVHM umbrella.
