Taylor Swift
is choosing grace over gossip. After receiving some passive-aggressive comments from Matty Healy's mother, British actress Denise Welch, the pop icon is reportedly keeping her cool and focusing on her personal happiness—with NFL star
Travis Kelce
firmly by her side.
Taylor Swift's response shows growth—and her fans are applauding her restraint
In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Welch didn't hold back when asked about her son's brief romance with Swift. While trying to maintain a neutral tone, the Loose Women star made a pointed remark: 'Not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost. Not that I have anything against her, at all, it was just, you know, it was tricky.'

Rather than clapping back with a dramatic lyric or viral social media post, Swift has decided to take the high road.
According to a source close to the singer, she's choosing not to engage publicly with Welch's remarks and is instead staying focused on the present. 'She intends to ignore the jibes and focus on Travis Kelce,' the source said.
The subtle shade from Welch comes months after Swift and Healy's brief and much-criticized fling in 2023. Though the relationship ended swiftly, fans have long speculated that parts of that time may surface in a future album.

Who is Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap, who was arrested for allegedly killing a 21-year-old in a hit-and-run case?
A shocking incident has come to light after being captured on CCTV, in which a car allegedly driven by Assamese actor Nandini Kashyap hit a two-wheeler, resulting in the death of a 21-year-old man. The incident happened at Dakkhingaon area in Assam's Guwahati in the early hours of Friday. Nandini was reportedly detained on Tuesday after the youth, Samiul Haque, passed away while undergoing treatment. Her arrest was officially recorded on Wednesday, following which Nandini was produced in court. According to news agency PTI, CCTV footage of the accident showed that not only was she speeding at the time, but did not even stop to check on the victim. Eyewitnesses claimed that she fled the scene immediately. She was, however, chased down and confronted by Samiul Haque's friends. Renowned for her lead role as Surabhi in director Roopak Gogoi's recent box office hit Rudra, Nandini Kashyap is also a prominent figure on social media, with over 52.5K followers on Instagram. According to her Facebook handle, she has been working in the film industry since 2018 as an actor, anchor, model and dancer. Belonging to Guwahati itself, she also goes by the name Nikita. After completing her basic education at Faculty Higher Secondary School, Amingaon, in her native place of Guwahati, she pursued a bachelor's degree at the University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya, located at Khanapara. She graduated from the university in 2021. Since 2018, she has been in the public domain and has appeared in a few music videos. However, it was in 2022 that she made her film debut, playing the lead role in the Assamese movie Janaknandini, helmed by her mother Kunjalta Gogoi Das. Also starring Gunjan Bhardwaj, Nrityacharjya Jatin Goswami, Arun Nath, Madhurima Choudhary, Ranjeev Lal Baruah and Rupam Baruh, Janaknandini was produced by Nandinee's parents, director Kunjalata Gogoi Das and husband Rinku Das, themselves. Earlier this year, Nandini Kashyap's career took off as Rudra emerged as a box office success. Also featuring Ravi Sharma, Adil Hussain, Joy Kashyap and Arrchita Agarwaal in key roles, the movie was penned by director Roopak Gogoi. Rudra hit the screens on June 27. Although Nandini is currently in police custody, it is reported that this is not her first involvement in a vehicular offence, the difference this time being that it tragically resulted in the loss of a life. 'Kashyap's vehicle was penalised several times for speeding and many challans were issued in different districts,' Guwahati Police Deputy Commissioner (Traffic) Jayanta Sarathi Borah told PTI.

Ayesha Raza praised director Zoya Akhtar for her compassionate and meticulous approach on 'Dil Dhadakne Do' and 'Made In Heaven'. Anil Kapoor shared his initial hesitance about playing a father but was encouraged by his son. Raza recently appeared in the film 'Aap Jaisa Koi'. Zoya Akhtar masterfully directed 'Dil Dhadakne Do', creating and guiding an ensemble cast comprising an array of Bollywood stars such as Anil Kapoor , Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, and Farhan Akhtar. Renowned for her sense of responsibility as a filmmaker, Zoya drew praise from cast members for her meticulous approach and genuine empathy on set. Ayesha Raza, who portrayed Indu in the film, and whose character famously garnered fame as "Indu Chachi" and "Dilli Ki Beyonce," recently shared her admiration for Zoya's thoughtful working style and careful attention to each detail while filming. Ayesha Raza expresses admiration for Zoya Akhtar During an interview with Just Too Filmy, when asked about her biggest inspiration among directors, Raza immediately named Zoya. She explained that Zoya makes feel like the most important person in the world, and that 'Dil Dhadakne Do' was among the first big films she worked on. At that time, she was relatively new and lacked much experience, but whenever she suggested a change, Zoya would simply say, 'Okay, show me how you would do it. ' Raza appreciated how Zoya allowed an actor the freedom to experiment rather than always insisting on her own ideas, which she described as remarkable and what makes Zoya so magical. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Ayesha Raza's memorable on-set moment from ' Made In Heaven ' To emphasize her point, Raza shared a memorable experience from the set of the Prime Video show 'Made In Heaven'. She recalled that while shooting in a tiny flat in Nizaamuddin, she was on a treadmill eating sweets. Since she couldn't keep eating sweets for every shot, she asked for a bin to spit into. However, there was no space for a bin, and even the assistant directors couldn't stand there. Zoya then took a tissue in her hand and told her to spit into that.

I said, 'Ye kya Ranveer ke baap ka role, nahi yaar.' Because in India, you get stuck in a stereotype." Anil Kapoor credited his son, Harshvardhan Kapoor, for persuading him. Harsh had previously encouraged him to act in Slumdog Millionaire in 2007, saying, "It's okay, yaar, you've done enough of running around the trees. Do this grey character!' For 'Dil Dhadakne Do', Harsh advised him not to see it as a father's role, but simply as an engaging character to portray.

How much is Battlefield 6 going to cost?
Image via EA. There has been a lot going on regarding Battlefield 6. Players are getting scammed with the promise of fake playtest, in-game character classes getting leaked, maps are getting disclosed in leaked Battlefield Lab gameplay footage, and many more. Even the community was already aware of the game's existence even before it was actually released and all thanks to the credible leakers and insiders. Now, another rumor has surrounded the internet which claims Battlefield 6 might be priced higher than usual. But is that really the case? Let's find out. EA slams all the Battlefield 6 cost rumors Some recent rumors have claimed that Battlefield 6 is going to cost more than the usual price point of general AAA titles. These rumors also got a solid base because of the current industry trends, where game publishers are leaning towards increasing the prices of their titles. AAA games have historically been stranding around the $60 price point. But after the pandemic hit the market in 2020, that price point saw a leap to around $70. Now recently, developers and publishers are thinking about another price hike. However, that's not going to happen in the case of Battlefield 6. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Instant Payment for Used Cars Cars24 - Sell Your Car Sell Now Undo In the recently held Q1 2025 earnings call of EA, CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed that Battlefield 6 is not going to cross the current $70 standard price point. This also debunks all the rumors circling around BF6's increased price of $80. Wilson went further by stating that the company will continue to look at opportunities to deliver great value to its players through 'various pricing schemes over the course of time, but no dramatic changes [are] planned yet.' However, major gaming houses like Nintendo didn't follow this step as Mario Kart World was recently released with a price tag of $80. Not only Nintendo, Microsoft has also confirmed that upcoming Xbox games are going to be priced at $80 as well, like The Outer Worlds 2. So, it's really good to see EA not following the current market trends and allowing the players to grasp more opportunities. However, the potential price point of Battlefield 6 is still going to disappoint a lot of fans as it's not going to be priced under $60 at least, which was the general price slab for AAA games before 2020.
