King Charles Just Posted a Taylor Swift Song on Instagram and I'm Convinced He's a Swiftie
Um, is King Charles a Swiftie? I think so!
The official Instagram account for the royals recently posted a montage of the king making an appearance at SXSW London. The lively clip was set to the tune of Taylor Swift's "London Boy," a popular track off the singer's 2019 album Lover. The post was captioned: "Shoreditch in the afternoon! Hosted for the first time in Europe, The King has visited @SXSWLondon, a culture, technology and creativity festival in Shoreditch, East London. Originating in Austin, Texas, the festival aims to serve as a platform to showcase the future of the creative industries, supporting emerging artists and innovative projects. Before departing, His Majesty popped into Old Spitalfields Market to meet locals and speak to stallholders working the market's 'Antiques Thursday'."
We know for sure his grandkids, Prince George (10) and Prince Charlotte (9) are huge fans of Swift. Last summer, Prince William marked his 42nd birthday by attending the singer's Eras Tour concert with the kids, and the trio even snapped a selfie with the pop star.

King Charles's visit to the music, film, art and tech festival on June 5 is just one of His Majesty's many appearances of late—a welcome sign, one year after his cancer diagnosis. In fact, during a recent visit to Impact Hub Yorkshire in Little Germany, Bradford, where he visited with local business owners, he was reportedly asked about his health upon meeting florist Safeena Khan.
According to Hello! Magazine, the two asked each other how they were doing, with Khan explaining that he responded to her with a thumbs-up gesture when she asked about his health, telling her, "I'd like to think I'm on the better side [of my cancer journey]." This was a positive update just a few weeks after Buckingham Palace issued a statement announcing the king experienced "temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital."
Jaimi Joy -The king has been in good spirits as of late, as well, appearing alongside Queen Camilla in Ottawa, Canada, for his first visit to the nation after his coronation, with body language expert Darren Stanton saying, "Charles seemed really pleased to be visiting. His posture was upright, straight, and he wasn't slouching, showing that he was completely engaged in taking it all in. In terms of his facial expressions, Charles seemed genuinely happy to be there—there weren't any signs of a fake or masking smile. The emotions, from a microexpression point of view, were very genuine. He certainly looked powerful while taking on the event."
Seems like King Charles is happy and healthy, which is definitely a reason to put Taylor Swift's music on your Instagram post.

"I can multi-task, especially during TIMEOUTS" - Stephen A. Smith lies while addressing viral photo of him playing solitaire during Game 4 of 2025 Finals
"I can multi-task, especially during TIMEOUTS" - Stephen A. Smith lies while addressing viral photo of him playing solitaire during Game 4 of 2025 Finals originally appeared on Basketball Network. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith was at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to watch Game 4 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers. But while he was supposed to pay close attention to what was happening on the basketball court in order to analyze the game correctly, he was caught playing solitaire on his phone while the game was underway. Advertisement When the photo went viral, Smith immediately took to X (formerly Twitter) to defend himself by saying he was merely looking for something else to do during a timeout. "Yep! That's me," wrote Smith. "Who would've thought… I can multi-task. Especially during TIMEOUTS! Hope y'all are enjoying the NBA Finals. This is going 7 games now, peeps!" Caught in a lie Another netizen roasted Smith with a video of the incident — it was clear that he was playing the card game on his phone while the basketball game was underway. Stephen A. then posted a second tweet — a screenshot of his mobile phone screen, trying to show that he was half playing games and half watching the Finals. Kevin Durant, one of the players who has been beefing with Smith for a long time, couldn't help but react by reposting the photo on his Instagram account. Smith infamously called Durant's signing with the Golden State Warriors in 2016 the "weakest move" by an NBA superstar. Last year, he also questioned Durant's ability to lead a team and the superstar forward went on to call Smith a "clown." Smith vs. Haliburton Most recently, Smith beefed with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton after the latter criticized the NBA media after Game 3. Advertisement The Pacers star called out the NBA talking heads, saying most of them don't know anything about basketball. Even if Haliburton did not target a specific name in his criticism, Smith assumed that he was talking about him. Instead of answering Hali's comments with arguments, Smith boasted about his 30-year broadcasting career and warned Haliburton that many have criticized him, but no one has ever shut him down. "Unfortunately, a lot of guys are not as fortunate as I am from this standpoint," Smith said. "They have to talk to you. I don't get paid to talk to you. I get paid to talk about you. Whether I speak or whatever it is, you don't stop this train. It is a locomotive because, you know, we've been No.1 for 13 straight years." Unfortunately, Haliburton hasn't reacted to the video of Smith playing solitaire during Game 4 of the Finals. After all, he has more important things on his mind. Advertisement The Pacers allowed the Thunder to steal Game 4 111-104 after a late comeback led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The series is now tied at two games apiece.

Kate Middleton References Princess Diana in a Blue Dress and Hat at Trooping the Colour
On Saturday, Kate Middleton attended the 2025 Trooping the Colour in a bright blue ensemble that appeared to be an homage to the late Princess Diana. The Catherine Walker coat dress was constructed with aquamarine fabric bordered by white, with an asymmetrical white lapel, and the matching hat by Juliette Botterilll Millinery was in the same robin's egg blue. She accessorized with a pair of the late Queen Elizabeth's pearl drop earrings. Her daughter, Princess Charlotte, was wearing a pale blue dress, seemingly to match Kate, while Prince Louis and Prince George were in navy blue suits and red ties. Princess Diana often wore looks by Catherine Walker and was seen in a similar blue and white piece in 1992, as noted by InStyle, while visiting New Delhi, India. Trooping the Colour is an annual event that also serves as the public birthday celebration of King Charles, though his actual birthday is in November. Last year, Kate was undergoing chemotherapy treatment, and it was unclear if she would be able to attend. Ultimately, she made it after writing on social media that she was having 'good days and bad days.' 'On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home,' she explained. 'I'm looking forward to attending the King's Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.' King Charles has also been undergoing treatment for cancer the past year, making it especially meaningful and important to the Wales family that they attend and celebrate with him, both in 2024 and this June.

She's back! "catch me on @ninjawarrior this Monday, June 16 at 8/7c on @nbc — i'm so grateful for another shot to step up, show up, and see what I've got !!" That's what Wisconsin's own "ANW" veteran Taylor Amann shared on Instagram on June 12. Las Vegas qualifiers, which will continue for several more weeks, began airing in early June. Ahead of her Season 17 debut, Amann graciously stopped by the Journal Sentinel newsroom for a rapid-fire Q&A of sorts.

And, I own my own photography business. My journey started on "Team Ninja Warrior: College Madness" back in 2016. And, I just filmed my fifth season of "American Ninja Warrior." The seasons Amann competed on and how far she made it on each can be found here. I grew up doing gymnastics since I was 4 through high school. And then, I started pole vaulting in high school through college. My biggest accomplishments: Winning the Big Ten Championship in the women's pole vault three times. And then, also winning "Team Ninja Warrior: College Madness." That was a really cool experience. "I like doing HITT workouts, where it's a combination of cardio and strength training." I love listening to the "Big Bootie" playlist because the music changes and it just gives you a little bit of each song. And, it usually pumps me up pretty well. My favorite gyms downtown are the Milwaukee Athletic Club, and then, Train Moment. In the summer, I like to paddleboard. And in the winter, I like to snowboard. My family. Yeah, they mean the world to me. My favorite restaurant in downtown Milwaukee is Onesto. I just love Italian food. My favorite food is anything breakfast. I love the Cream Soda Olipop over ice. So good. Probably Stone Creek. Yeah, it's a good one. I love Anthropologie downtown. I'd have to say BYLT Basics. California, for sure. I'm a Cali girl at heart. Definitely CapCut. I use it for all my content and for work. And I'm on it almost all day. One of my all-time favorites is "Sweet Home Alabama." Super-cute. My favorite TV show all-time is "Gossip Girl." I've probably watched it six times through at least. Me and my fiancé like to go to Screaming Tuna, Onesto and Momo Mee. Those are our favorites. I'm excited to get married at the end of this month! And then, go on our honeymoon to the Dominican Republic. "ANW" Season 17 airs at 7 p.m. Mondays on NBC. Episodes steam on Peacock, NBC's streaming service, the day after they air.
