- US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, was spotted buying a Taylor Swift album during an official visit to Beijing, as he took a detour between meetings.
The purpose of the trip was to help ‘improve relations’ with China, however, Blinken decided to take himself on a cultural excursion while he was there.
At the record store, he purchased Swift’s 2022 album ‘Midnights’ as well as music by Chinese artist, Dou Wei.
“I’m a bit stuck in the 70s”, Blinken admitted when the shop owner asked what music he liked.

BREAKING NEWS: STOP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING BECAUSE A DUDE BOUGHT AN ALBUM. I REPEAT, A DUDE BOUGHT AN ALBUM
A s**t album too😂

this album he bought
Yeah, lets go to China to buy something American oriented
The Chinese had a cultural revolution in the 60s and 70s. It was characterized by violence and chaos across Chinese society. Maybe the Swifties are being prepared for something like that. They have masked security at her events. Swifties already were involved in the global atrocity over the last few years. I'd guess alot of the ring leaders were swifties. There was videos about this cult and people said they do doxxing and you had to say you liked Taylor in their college.
He's saving the US economy.
100% staged.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Everything on the news is staged
All from the Trump play book! 😂🤣
Do you have a problem with that?
The message.... Life is short
Let's hope it's nearly the end woop woop the sh#t show got as boring AF lately 😆
I just bought a meat feast pizza from asda
I bought a cheese pizza with dip going to add ham and pineapple

@@RealUlrichLeland Refrigerated
@@j.esgardens5405 refrigerated, added extra cheese and sweetcorn and onion with garlic sauce on top, it's banging 😋
With reduced price just 1.99
Very Huge and Delicious
That was probably the most important thing he did in China 😂😂
Yep... support Physical media.
desperate for Taylor Swift Endorsement
Frank Zappa once said that when you see politicians and rock musicians together you should ask yourself what each side is getting out of it and then run a mile.
Or words to that effect.
Close enough...love Zappa!
Певица Свифт - рок-музыкант?
И причём здесь, вообще, сотрудничество между политиками и рок-музыкантами, когда Мистер Энтони Блинкен просто посетил музыкальный магазин в Пекине?
Ответ: а не причём!
Любите Вы устроить шум на пустом месте!
Отличительная черта всех демагогов!!!
Taylor was having masked security at her events. There was kids there. They are conditioning kids for something. They obviously have further plans. I noticed in the toy shop aswell, there was also quite alot of conditioning to do with this stuff whilst the adults were being given the back to normal message.
@@efraimrotterdamus3815After all that is going on, you are in defence of Blinken.
Also some guy leaving a comment on a UA-cam vid, makes them a demagogue lol, calm down man.
Zappa had it sussed way back in 68 if the the world is not careful America will scarf it up or words to that effect we are seeing it now 56 yrs later !
Life is short especially if you live in Gaza! He makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Да здравствует режим Аятолл!
Самый гуманный, особенно к женщинам, режим на планете!
@@efraimrotterdamus3815 What has Iran, a Persian Shia country, got to do with Palestine, a largely Muslim population that are Sunni? They support Palestinians like almost every country on Earth, apart from the ex-colonial hypocrites. Are you slow?
And words are cheap!
Who start that?
And people laugh at you when you say Taylor swift is a government psyop.
If I ever wondered what rag journalism looks like, I can check back here first.
Suits you Sir ?
He says hes stuck in the 70's since when was Taylor Swift anything to do with the 70's music scene. I didnt see her supporting Led Zeppelin or any other iconic rock groups 😞
And?
When he played it he found it was triad choir.
do you seriously think that record even saw the two mile perimeter of his house? probably incinerated the moment they shut off cameras
@@faqueer oh god, as it says on his bag, "Life is short"
A WAR CRIMINAL.
Of course, she is the global celeb ambassador of the moment.
Probably the only "music" he has ever bought
About time for a chatgtp poem :
In diplomacy's world, Blinkers did roam, A stern-faced diplomat, far from home. To China he journeyed, his mission clear, To chastise their productivity, without fear.
With words like daggers, he aimed to scold, Yet the Chinese remained steadfast and bold. They showed him their sights, with pride they led, But Blinkers remained stern, shaking his head.
Amidst the meetings and tours, a diversion found, A record store beckoned, a treasure unbound. In secret, Blinkers purchased with glee, A Taylor Swift record, hidden discreetly.
Back in his hotel, his tough façade waned, As Taylor's melodies, his spirit regained. In a dress he found, and a hairbrush for a mic, He danced in the mirror, his heart taking flight.
The Chinese, passing by, caught a peculiar sight, Through Blinkers' window, in the dimming light. A man in a dress, with a hairbrush in hand, Dancing wildly, in Taylor's dreamland.
In his room, alone, Blinkers danced with delight, To Taylor's tunes, in the dimming light. But a mishap occurred, one of his stilettos his cracked, So he called the concierge for a 24-hour cobbler's knack.
Isn't this act of purchase considered endangering US national security interests? The profits/tax from such a purchase will contribute to the development/investment in China's military-industrial complex. Mr Blinken should have considered the grave consequences before funding the enemy of US. He should be prosecuted for foreign collusion
Hope it wasn't a fake.....😀
A grown man buying a Taylor Swift album! What terrible music taste.
So the conspiracies regarding miss swift are true, interesting 😮
Was it a bootleg copy?
Given he was told on his China visit he says one thing and does another… yeah he needed a Taylor Swift album and a box of tissues.
He COULDNT AFFORD it in America!
It’s nice when we smile. Why can’t we just get along with China???? What is so damn difficult about that????
Yeah. You can't get those in US.
Why is this a news story?
People are entitled to having a bad taste in music.
This isn't news.
Why?
He looks more of a Gary glitter type to me..was it the pink vinyl 'live at the Whitehouse ' bootleg?
He'll be secretly listening to his purchase in high profile political meets 😂
democrat trying to influence people by having celebrities endorse them to gain polularity, rather than what they can do for the people they serve lmao
Oooooh where can i get that bag from
He also bought an album from Dou Wei published in 1994.
Hahaha, if only real news of his visit to China is shown people would realise what a sham visit it was. Clips of his visit clearly show that before his meeting with Zhi ji ping, the Chinese leader was heard asking his staff when blinken was leaving, and when he did leave, China the American Ambassador to China had to see him off as no Chinese government official of any level was present and the response of the Chinese foreign minister to American demands and threats was nothing but a fierce slap in the face for America hence reaching America Blinken in a press conference announced future sanctions on China which means nothing to the China as China offer Infrastructure building and construction to other countries whereas what have the Americans and their western allies offered to countries in Africa the Arab countries or Asia history does not lie you have only delivered death and destruction under false narratives
Hat's off to Russia and China, who continually show the mirror to these hypocrites of the highest order
he should buy record with the album title "I nearly wet my pants" !!
Wow, 809k subscribe for this? 😆
AI?
Slow news day?
He cant buy that in home. 😅😅😅😊
Whom? And why should I care?
Was it s knock-off?
Wow , I'm off down the shop to get some milk & a pouch of tobacco when it stops raining.
Chyna
Can we see Rishi Sunak buy one for Sadiq Khan and them both covering one eye for a staged photo. That would be so wholesome
😂😂😂
What a... 🤷 does he need to buy it in China? They don't sell it in America😮
This just in!
Amazing journalism by The Independent (sic) as usual.
My condolences
pathetic
A pirated copy or legit 👀
The bastard should be in jail
He plans to do a video on social media and call it "The song that saved my life"
Great news 😂😂😂
Blinken trying to help the US economy with his purchase.
Probably only soft porn on the cover.. If it's a knock - off, he is gonna have trouble! Might be sanctioned even!
Who cares, how does this make news
