Taylor Swift kicked off her Eras Tour last month in Glendale—and while it was a big night for everyone who managed to snag tickets, it was an unforgettable night for 13-year-old Isabella McCune.

Five years ago, McCune spent nine months in the hospital after an accident left burns on more than 65 percent of her body. Swift was on her Reputations Tour in 2018, the last time she toured until last month, when word reached Swift’s team about McCune’s accident.

McCune was 8 years old when she recorded a message for her favorite singer, telling Swift how her music got her through her worst days and how it helped to keep her calm. Since McCune couldn’t go to Swift’s concert, Swift came to visit her young fan in the hospital!

The pop star snuck into the Arizona Burn Center to sign autographs, pose for pictures, and promise McCune that when she was better, she could come to one of her concerts.

With the help of a local radio station, Swift made good on her promise and recently surprised McCune with tickets to her concert for McCune and her family. The teenager had tried to buy tickets to the concert but wasn’t able to secure them before they sold out within minutes. McCune was beyond excited about her chance to go to the concert, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Not only the fact that I was able to go and I got these tickets gifted to me but also that they are from Taylor Swift and her team, and they remembered me and thought of me to give me these tickets,” McCune said.

She is certainly not wrong about it being such a unique opportunity—the pop star’s ticket sales made national news last fall when they sold out in record time. Ticketmaster offered presale tickets and sold more than 2.4 million presale tickets. The high demand, and Ticketmaster’s handling of the presale, led the company to cancel ticket sales for the general public.

Is Mammoth a Thing of the Past or the Future?

What’s for dinner? Suppose the answer was a mammoth meatball. You would have to be pretty hungry. Not to say that it’s ginormous—although it is pretty big—but that it is a meatball actually made from wooly mammoth!

While you might imagine eating with the Croods or the Flintstones to sample such a savory snack, a mammoth meatball was actually cultured, or grown, in a lab at an Australian food company.

Using sequencing that IMITATED wooly mammoth DNA—and filling in missing bits with the DNA from an African elephant—this massive meatball was unveiled in March. Scientists put the synthesized gene they created into a sheep cell and then cultured it. They ended up growing about 400 grams, or 14 ounces, of mammoth meat in the lab.

So, is mammoth going to be on the menu any time soon? Probably not. This experiment was mostly intended to start a conversation about the future of meat. “We need to start rethinking how we get our food. My biggest hope for this project is…that a lot more people across the world begin to hear about cultured meat,” said James Ryall, the company’s chief scientific officer.

There is no plan to have anyone chow down on this particular lab-grown meat. In the U.S., only lab-grown chicken is approved for human consumption. Researchers are not sure that the modern human digestive system could handle mammoth! They note that while our ancestors hunted and ate mammoth, this protein has not been a part of our diet for over 5,000 years. Instead, the meatball was sent to a museum of science and medicine in the Netherlands, the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave.
