Human Remains Found Near Taylor Swift's Rhode Island Home: Police
A grim scene unfolded not far from Taylor Swift's Holiday House on the morning of May 14.
Westerly, R.I. police confirm to PEOPLE that what appeared to be human remains were found in the Watch Hill area, the affluent enclave where the singer's seaside mansion is located.
Officers that arrived to the scene on Everett Avenue around 9:30 a.m. uncovered "what appeared to be a human leg bone," according to a statement shared with PEOPLE. The remains were transported to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner's Office for analysis.
"Investigators are awaiting official confirmation of the identity of the remains," the statement continues. No foul play is suspected at this time.
A resident who spoke to the local news outlet NBC10 WJAR, Taylor Day, said she saw "three police cars, one undercover . . . and there was a medical examiner pulling in behind me." She added, 'It kind of alarmed me, and it was just something very out of the ordinary for Westerly."
Day called out the proximity to Swift's landmark home and the area's most famous historic hotel.
'It was probably a couple football fields away from Taylor Swift's house and the Ocean House,' she shared. 'I would never expect anything like that—especially not in Watch Hill.'
Swift purchased her home for a reported $17.75 million in 2013, according to the New York Times, and has famously hosted Fourth of July parties there, attended by a bevy of celebrity friends, including Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, the Haim sisters, and Selena Gomez.
The affluent beach town is otherwise known for its Victorian-style homes and what the Times once dubbed a "strong sense of privacy." High-profile visitors from Clark Gable and Henry Ford to Conan O'Brien and Hugh Jackman have spent time in the village.
High Watch, as Swift's 1920s property was previously known, overlooks East Beach and the Atlantic Ocean and was notably once owned by Standard Oil heiress Rebekah West Harkness, the subject of Swift's song "The Last Great American Dynasty."

Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce Reveal Exciting News on Wednesday
Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce Reveal Exciting News on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For nearly three years, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, have hosted the "New Heights" podcast together. It has become a big hit, and the duo has invited some of the biggest stars from the NFL and the sports world at large. Advertisement Last August, the podcast achieved a deal with Amazon for over $100 million, which is an indication of how popular it has become over time. On Wednesday, a big announcement was made, as "New Heights" merch is now available for fans to purchase and wear. This collection comes in patriotic colors just in time for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday. According to Sports Business Journal, the podcast had previously hit 2.5 million subscribers. It is believed that Travis Kelce's high-profile relationship with pop star Taylor Swift has helped drive even more fans toward the podcast. Travis Kelce may be showing some signs of wear and tear on the field lately, but he remains one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Last season, he posted 97 receptions, 823 yards and three touchdowns while helping the Chiefs go 15-2. Advertisement All season, the Chiefs seemed to luck into many wins. But their good fortune eventually ran out, as their hopes for an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl championship failed when they lost to the Eagles, 40-22, in the big game.

Liuyang Fireworks Make Chinese-Style Romance a Global Sensation
BEIJING, CN / / June 11, 2025 / In Liuyang, central China's Hunan Province, the stories of fireworks have been passed down through generations. As the world's largest production and trade hub for fireworks and firecrackers, Liuyang has a history of making fireworks that dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Liuyang fireworks captivate audiences at many major events, such as 2008 Beijing and 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremonies. Demand overseas is soaring. Consistent quality, diverse products, and stunning effects have earned Liuyang fireworks accolades from international consumers. In 2024, Liuyang's fireworks exports totaled 6.58 billion yuan ($916.3 million), reaching over 100 countries and regions. China accounted for approximately 90 percent of global firework exports that year, nearly 70 percent of them originating from Liuyang. Behind the fireworks are moving stories of Chinese-style romance, some of which embody memories of lost loved ones. The drone and firework show, titled Tears from the Door of Heaven, was recently staged in Liuyang. The inspiration for the show came from Huang Jiayi, a high school student in Liuyang. Her grandfather, Huang Weide, is the founder of Qingtai Fireworks, a local fireworks company. Huang Weide's mother, Huang Jiayi's great grandmother, died at an early age, leaving behind no photographs. To recognize this sadness, Huang Jiayi came up with the idea of making a fireworks display that resembled tears, making them drop through a halo made of drones to express the deep feeling of missing lost family members. Every dazzling fireworks display lies the story of Liuyang's industry upgrade: intelligent technology combined with cultural roots, urban fireworks driving cultural tourism consumption, and creative pyrotechnics igniting global markets. In 2024, Liuyang's fireworks industry achieved a total output value exceeding 50 billion yuan ($7 billion), capturing about 60 percent domestic market share and accounting for approximately 70 percent of national exports. Liuyang has refined "Chinese-style romance" through fireworks, illuminating night skies worldwide and allowing this millennium-old tradition to maintain its enduring charm.
