Sweet and subtle. Taylor Swift - pop music superstar and Kansas City Chiefs superfan - issued a major career announcement this week as she was able to buy back her music catalog after a years-long battle. Swift celebrated with her pal and producer Jack Antonoff ... and with a symbol of her love for boyfriend Travis Kelce close by. Antonoff posted a video showing Swift listening to her "Reputation" album ... and Swifties noticed that she was wearing one of the custom bracelets that Swift and Kelce created early in their relationship. ... "TNT'' bracelets. Meanwhile, Kelce is showing the love to the business acumen of Swift. As the Chiefs get busy with OTAs underway and another Super Bowl as the clear goal, Swift is filling up her time with a major move in the entertainment world. For the first time since 2019, she now owns her entire music catalog - with Billboard reporting that it's a $360 million buy. The backstory ... In 2019, Swift's record label sold the rights to Scooter Braun, the controversial record executive who then then sold the 14-time Grammy Award winner's catalog of music to the investment firm Shamrock Capital. But now? Swift is speaking out as she revealed that she's now in control of her original music. She purchased her catalog from Shamrock Capital for an undisclosed amount. And Kelce is joining Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, in celebrating. "I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. As a flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news," Swift said in a note to her fans. "I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. "I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made … now belongs ... to me." This is big news to Swifties. And it's big news to those in "the Chiefs family,'' too, including Brittany Mahomes, who reposted the announcement on Instagram and responded. "Just so amazing," Mahomes wrote on IG. And what does Travis have to say about it all? He showed his "love'' ... with a social-media "like'' on Taylor's account. See? Sweet and story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

NATO Ally Looks to Buy US Nuclear-Capable Fighter Jets to Counter Russia
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The United Kingdom is hoping to purchase American-made fighter jets, capable of both carrying and deploying nuclear weapons, according to a report in The Sunday Times. The British newspaper cited anonymous senior officials familiar with the matter, who said the U.K. intends buying Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning stealth fighter aircraft, but that other options are also being evaluated. The Sunday Times reported that the potential deal was part of the country's broader strategy to address threats posed by Russia, and that the "highly sensitive" talks between the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defence have been led by Admiral Sir Antony David Radakin, head of the UK's armed forces, and Secretary of State for Defence John Healey. When contacted for comment, the Ministry of Defence directed Newsweek to an interview given by Healey on Sunday morning, in which he said that such discussions "are not conducted in public," but refused to rule out whether the purchase was an option. Why It Matters Combined with other actions taken and statements made by the U.K. government in recent days, including tomorrow's release of the 2025 Strategic Defence Review, the purchase would signal a significant escalation in Britain's assessment of the threats posed by Russia and the urgency of countering these. Additionally, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has recently set out plans to increase the country's defense budget to 2.5 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 2027, up from the current 2.3 percent. This follows calls from NATO officials for member states to devote a greater portion of their budget to counter Russian threats, and similar requests from President Donald Trump What To Know According to the U.S. Air Force, the F-35A Lightning possesses a range of more than 1,350 miles and is capable of carrying payloads of up to 18,000 pounds. Variants of the F-35 have already been certified to carry B61-12 thermonuclear gravity bombs, a type of low-yield nuclear munitions. Having decommissioned its stockpile of tactical, air-delivered nuclear weapons following the end of the Cold War, the U.K. has relied on its "Trident" system as a nuclear deterrent. The arsenal is exclusively capable of being deployed by four Royal Navy Vanguard-class submarines. A U.S. Air Force fifth generation F-35A Lightning II stealth aircraft comes in to land outside RAF Lakenheath on April 17, 2025 in Lakenheath, England. A U.S. Air Force fifth generation F-35A Lightning II stealth aircraft comes in to land outside RAF Lakenheath on April 17, 2025 in Lakenheath, Sunday Times report comes ahead of the release of the government's strategic defence review, which Healey told the BBC would send a "message to Moscow." In a briefing released ahead of the full report, the government said the review would outline a "total commitment to the UK's nuclear deterrent," as well as a "NATO-first" defence policy." What People Are Saying Secretary of State for Defence John Healey spoke to Sky News about the reported purchase on Sunday morning, saying: "Those sort of discussions are not conducted in public and certainly not with a running commentary." "I want to make a wider point though on our nuclear deterrent which is this: For nearly 70 years, our U.K. nuclear deterrent has been the guarantor of our U.K. security—it's what Putin fears most," he added. "And the threats we face in the future, mean we will always have to do what we need to defend the country, and strong deterrence is absolutely essential in order to keep Britain and the British people safe." Lord De Mauley, chair of the Lords International Relations and Defence Committee, said in October: "Years of strategic neglect have left our forces stretched thin and limited in size. We are underprepared to respond to the worsening global threat environment, and in particular to meet the very real and growing threat from Russia." UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in an article for The Sun published Sunday, said his government was committed to restoring "Britain's war-fighting readiness." He cited the emergence of "new nuclear risks," as well as cyberattacks orchestrated by Russia alongside Iran and North Korea. What Happens Next? The government's Strategic Defence Review 2025 is scheduled for publication on Monday.

Taylor Swift dominated streaming charts (again) after buying her music back
Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift announced Friday that she was able to purchase back her entire catalog of music from Shamrock Capital, ending a years-long saga. The 14-time Grammy winner had been in the midst of re-recording her first six albums after they had been purchased by Big Machine Records and music manager Scooter Braun back in 2019. Braun would go on to sell them to Shamrock Capital in 2020. Swift had already recorded Fearless (Taylor's Version), Speak Now (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version) and 1989 (Taylor's Version), with just Reputation and her debut album Taylor Swift waiting for the re-record treatment. After Taylor's Version was released for each album, Swifties would generally refer to the originals as the "stolen versions" and wouldn't stream or purchase them. With the originals no longer "stolen," Swift's albums made a huge jump into the top 10 on Apple Music and Spotify following the announcement. According to various reports from Forbes, chart following sites like Pop Vortex and online accounts like Pop Base, Reputation and Taylor Swift have taken over the top two spots on Apple Music's Top 100 Albums list. Taylor Swift now has 4 albums in the Top 10 of the US iTunes Album Chart:#1 — reputation#2 — Taylor Swift#8 — Speak Now#9 — 1989 (Deluxe Edition) — Pop Base (@PopBase) May 31, 2025 All of Swift's catalog seemingly got a boost from Friday's news, with all 15 studio albums reportedly in the top-100 at one time. Swift was the first to be able to unseat the wildly popular country artist Morgan Wallen and his new album, I'm the Problem, from the top spot. Miley Cyrus has rounded out the top-5 with her new release Something Beautiful.
