Taylor Swift Floral Dôen Set Is the Perf Date Night Outfit

Taylor Swift has been a litttle busy as of late dealing with Blake Lively lawsuit drama, working on her (alleged) new album, and buying back the masters for all six of her records—for a casual $360 million, I might add. But, somehow, she's still squeezed in some time for date nights with Travis Kelce and a gossip sesh with her besties.
Taylor stepped out in Palm Beach early last week in a poppy print matching set from Dôen, before traveling back to New York for a Via Carota dinner with Dakota Johnson. Keeping with the week's theme, she opted for a black floral dress from the same Cali Cool vintage-inspired label.
While Taylor's Benoit dress sold out in her Noir Wild Rise pattern (and is nearly out of stock in every other version, too), the Marcie Skirt and matching Traveler Top are somehow still in stock.
So, let's talk about it. The two-piece set is made from a lightweight blend of organic cotton and viscose for a breezy and easy-to-wear fabric (perf for Taylor's Florida evening) and features Dôen's springy '30s-inspired Poppy Field print. The skirt has a high-waist design and maxi silhouette that hits just at the ankle and an invisible side zipper, which makes it easy to slip in (or out!) of.
The top is crafted from the same fabric and has the identical Poppy Field print for a cohesive look. It has the perfect crop and scoop neckline with a ribbon tie and mother-of-pearl buttons down the front. Plus, it has scalloped eyelets and ladder trim at the neckline, sleeve openings, and hemline for a sweet finish.
I'm hardly surprised Taylor went with two Dôen looks in one week. She's constantly reaching for the brand. In fact, she even wore a tank from the label for her first-ever Kansas City Chiefs game. But, while the poppy print set isn't quite as expensive as the head-to-toe Gucci look she wore for dinner with Selena Gomez, it's still expensy. The good news is that Gap dropped a Dôen collab that's a lil more in our price range. Next time you're getting dressed just think, 'What Would Taylor Wear?'

Shaq wants Travis Kelce to DJ for Taylor Swift: 'A [expletive] star'

Shaq wants Travis Kelce to DJ for Taylor Swift: 'A [expletive] star' NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal jumped on this week's episode of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce. The four-time NBA champion and three-time NBA Finals MVP chatted with the NFL brothers about this year's Oklahoma-Indiana NBA Finals, his memories of Kobe and even his favorite Taylor Swift song (spoiler alert: it's "I Knew You Were Trouble"). Shaq, who has been DJing as DJ Diesel for years, had DJ advice for Travis. "You've got to get me on the DJ booth, man." Kelce said. "You've got to teach me your ways." "Bro, I got you," O'Neal responded. "You know what's crazy? You opening up for your girlfriend? Bro you'd be a [expletive] star. Twenty minutes. Ten minutes. Hyping up the crowd? Oh my god." It's a perfect fit as Travis Kelce has already displayed his show business side as the Kansas City tight end joined girlfriend Taylor Swift on stage in London last summer to perform the intro to "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" on her Eras Tour. Warning, some NSFW language is included in the clip. O'Neal went on to talk about meeting Swift -- and rapper Ice Spice -- at the 2024 Super Bowl. Could we see a DJ Diesel and Travis Kelce collaboration soon? We need this in our lives after seeing these two on this week's New Heights episode.

A Founder, A Doctor, And The Unexpected Power Of A Good Book

If you've built something meaningful in your life, there's a good chance people will want to read ... More what you have to say. One built a multibillion-dollar restaurant empire. The other is a physician on a mission to transform how we talk about mental health. On the surface, the late Kent Taylor, founder of Texas Roadhouse, and Dr. Shahana Alibhai could not be more different. But they each made a bold decision: They put their ideas down on paper and wrote a book. And in doing so, they changed more than their careers. Taylor captured the legacy of a company. Alibhai sparked a movement and expanded her influence far beyond the clinic. 'Kent wrote the world a book,' said Texas Roadhouse CEO Jerry Morgan, 'but he left our company a blueprint for our future. We encourage our Partners to read Made From Scratch (Simon & Schuster, 2021) to better understand our history, values, and principles.' That's the power of storytelling. It's more than a marketing tool, it's how leaders distill their values and vision and their lived experience into something that is lasting; something others can pick up and carry forward. And while we do live in a world of TikTok, YouTube, and podcasts, books are far from irrelevant. They are where we go to explore deep ideas, not just quick concepts. They signal credibility and depth of thought in a way few other formats can. My colleague Tasha Eurich recently sold more than 15,000 copies of her latest book, Shatterproof, in its first week of launch, a strong sign that people are absolutely still buying books … good ones, that is. Dr. Alibhai, a family doctor and mental health expert from British Columbia, calls her first book, 'a game changer.' It is titled Feel Better: How Understanding Your Emotional Palette Can Keep You From Getting Swept Away (Throne Publishing, 2024). 'The way I think about it,' she said, 'it is the world's best business card. It allows you to gift something meaningful to someone and share a small glimpse into your inner world, even with a complete stranger.' Since publishing last September, Dr. Alibhai's book has received praise from luminaries such as Mel Robbins and Marshall Goldsmith, and also led her to be invited to speak on stages around the world, including the Million Dollar Round Table in Macau. It's not just about the spotlight for the physician, but about starting a better conversation. 'When people read the book,' she says, 'they don't just hear my story. They start to reflect on their own.' And, she says, it's become a vehicle for giving back, enabling her to raise funds for mental health causes that matter deeply to her. In short, Taylor's book became part of his legacy, Alibhai's became a launchpad. Both created ripple effects. That's the real power of authorship. For business leaders and other experts, publishing shouldn't be about chasing bestseller lists but about clarifying what you stand for: your beliefs, your approach, your unique way of solving problems. Of course, that doesn't stop people from asking me, 'So, how do I hit a bestseller list?' I usually start here: 'Write a really good book.' (I know, groundbreaking advice.) But it's true: when the book is well-crafted and genuinely useful, it can unlock doors to all the things they want, like media coverage, keynote stages, and yes, more clients. A badly written book? That's just an expensive paperweight. Here are three things I've seen make the biggest difference when leaders set out to write their story: 1. First, Clarify Your Purpose Before you write a word, get clear on the 'job' you want your book to do for readers. Is it meant to spark personal transformation? Help future leaders understand your company's values and culture (like Taylor did with Made From Scratch)? Or will it provide practical guidance for businesspeople facing challenges similar to yours? When you focus on the difference the book can make for others, you clarify your message and make it far more powerful. When you write with the reader in mind, your message becomes sharper and your impact greater. Also, once you're clear on your objective and audience, you can make smarter decisions about what the book can do for you--perhaps build your business or leave a legacy. And it will help you set tone, structure, and publishing path. A well-known business founder writing a values-based leadership memoir will take a very different approach from an executive coach aiming to share her philosophy and grow a practice. Both can be highly effective, but only when their purpose is clear from the start. 2. Think Long-Term, Not Just Launch The most successful authors treat their books as a long-term asset. A splashy launch week is nice, but more effective is planning to use the book to support your work over the next five, 10, or 20 years. For Texas Roadhouse, Made From Scratch has become required reading for new employees, who they call Roadies. Says CEO Morgan, 'As we think about the next 30 years, we think it's important for current and future Roadies to study the early pioneers who built the foundation of our company.' For Dr. Alibhai, Feel Better has become the bridge to connect her personal story with a broader mission to destigmatize emotional health. 3. Don't Write It Alone Many thought leaders or entrepreneurs have an incredible story or framework to share, but they get stalled for years by the enormity of writing a full-length book. That's where a collaborative writing partner or ghostwriter can be invaluable. Dr. Alibhai is quick to acknowledge this. 'When you are trying to achieve a wildly important or seemingly impossible goal, having a coach, connector, and mentor is important. I was fortunate to have someone who helped me write as well as coach me through the process of writing. I also found someone who could connect me to others in the world of publishing and, most importantly, I was able to find someone who could serve as a sounding board along the way.' Sometimes, you'll find all those roles in one person. More often, it might take a small team. But trying to go it alone can lead to years of delay, or worse, a book that doesn't land. Here's what it comes down to: You don't have to be a celebrity CEO or famous influencer to write a book that matters. What you do need is the conviction that your principles are worth sharing. Don't let perfectionism or self-doubt keep your story on the shelf.

Travis Kelce shows pride for Taylor Swift buying masters: 'It's finally hers'

Travis Kelce shows pride for Taylor Swift buying masters: 'It's finally hers' Travis Kelce is singing girlfriend Taylor Swift's praises for buying back her masters, and he's singing them proudly. On the June 4 episode of "New Heights," the Kansas City tight end spoke to former basketball player Shaquille O'Neal. During the interview, the 7'1" sports analyst says, "Hold on, don't ... I gotta show you guys somethin'." He presses play on his cellphone and holds the speaker up to the microphone. Swift's first version of "I Knew You Were Trouble" from her fourth album, "Red," begins. Taylor Swift announces she now owns her first six albums, won't rerelease 'Reputation' O'Neal mouths the words and Kelce dances cha-cha style to the beats, adding in a few "yeah" riffs. His cohost and brother, Jason Kelce, juts his head back and forth. As Swift sings, "You found me, you found me, you found me," Travis splays his fingers like jazz hands and mouths the end of verse one. "That's my favorite song in the world brotha," O'Neal says while pausing the song. Travis over-joyously claps and exlcaims, "Shout out to Tay Tay, just got that song back, too." Jason shouts, "Hell yeah." "Just bought all her music back so it's finally hers, too, man," Travis adds. "I appreciate that dog." Long live the Eras Tour with our enchanting book Claiming her masters On May 30, Swift made the announcement that she had secured her entire catalog of work from Shamrock Capital, meaning all of her music, music videos, concert films and album art from her first six albums. Travis Kelce liked her Instagram post. His buddy and fellow Kansas City Chief, Patrick Mahomes, retweeted the news. "I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen," Swift wrote in a letter posted to her website, "after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away." The singer-songwriter has been on a journey to reclaim her work since Big Machine Label Group sold her work in 2019 to Scooter Braun's Ithica Holdings company for $300 million. In November 2020, Braun sold the catalog to Shamrock, who worked with the singer in 2025. "I am endlessly thankful," Swift wrote. "My first tattoo might just be a huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead." Don't miss any Taylor Swift news; sign up for the free, weekly newsletter This Swift Beat.
