Latest entertainment gist

Hundreds are reportedly rallying to save a cardboard cut-out of Taylor Swift that has become a fixture of Manchester’s city centre.

The cut-out of the pop star has been displayed in the window of a home looking out over the city close to the Cornbrook Metrolink stop since 2017.

Owner Red Redmond announced on Twitter last week (January 4) that the future of “Tram Taylor”, as the cut-out has come to be known, is “uncertain” as they were moving to Sheffield.

“FYI if anyone wants to rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Castlefield it costs £950pm and comes with a FREE cardboard cut-out of Taylor Swift,” Redmond added in a follow-up tweet.

Speaking to the BBC, Redmond has since revealed that they have received “hundreds of private messages” from people keen to rent the apartment and keep the cut-out of Swift on display. “We are confident we can find a tenant who will keep Taylor exactly where she is,” Redmond said.
