Why Travis Kelce Posting Taylor Swift Pics Now ‘Wasn't Random'
On Thursday, Travis Kelce went 'Instagram official' with girlfriend Taylor Swift, posting a carousel of pics featuring the Eras Tour singer during their time together this year. In the caption, he wrote, 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 💯'
The high-profile couple seems to make careful decisions about appearing in public and sharing intimate looks into their relationship and they're generally fairly discreet on social media. A source speaking with People says that Kelce's choice to finally post images of Swift 'wasn't random.'
'It was intentional,' the insider claimed. 'They've been private in their own way, but this was his way of showing how serious things have become.'
The source added, 'They're in a really solid place and more in sync than ever.'
The couple started dating in the summer of 2023, but Swift first appeared at one of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs games in September of that year, announcing the relationship.
'When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,' Kelce told WSJ magazine in November 2023 of their first date. 'Everybody around me telling me: 'Don't fuck this up!' And me sitting here saying: 'Yeah—got it.''
Swift has posted Kelce on Instagram before, in June 2024, when she shared a selfie taken backstage at her London show while being visited by Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Kelce's collection featured pics with friends and family, including his brother, Jason, and mother, Donna. Swift appeared beside Kelce in photos from a trip to Montana, on a boat, and in a restaurant where they're wearing matching black outfits. One photo even revealed Kelce's lock screen, which featured a black-and-white pic of the couple. Some fans thought Swift was flashing an engagement ring in the blurry image, since she is clearly holding up her hand. But the singer is reportedly wearing her boyfriend's Super Bowl rings in the image. She's proud of him.

Elon Musk's ‘spicy' upgrade to Grok spits out deepfake clip of Taylor Swift dancing topless: report
Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok got a 'spicy' upgrade that reportedly spits out explicit deepfake videos, including a clip of Taylor Swift dancing topless, according to a report. Grok Imagine, the startup's new generative AI tool launched Monday, created a six-second clip of the 'Shake It Off' singer whipping off a silver dress to reveal her breasts and wearing skimpy panties, according to the tech-centric news site The Verge. Even more troubling was that its spicy mode conjured up the NSFW clip without mentioning nudity when prompted to show Swift celebrating at music festivals, the outlet found while testing the software. The video generating tool on Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok has a 'spicy' mode that allowed users to create a sexualized deepfake clip featuring singer Taylor Swift. Getty Images for TAS Rights Management The Verge published the video but ran a black bar to cover the superstar's bare chest. The new feature's lack of safeguards against creating celebrity deepfakes and adult materials 'feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen,' The Verge wrote. The Post reached out to Musk, xAI and representatives for Swift for comment. Swift has been a frequent target of AI-generated explicit content across various platforms. In January of last year, explicit AI-generated images of the 'Cruel Summer' singer were widely shared on platforms like Musk-owned X and 4chan, sparking public outrage and urgent content takedowns. The situation escalated with deepfake videos falsely portraying her in political and sexual contexts, including through Grok. The controversy led to tech companies tightening safeguards and prompted Swift to consider legal action. US lawmakers began advancing bipartisan legislation to criminalize non-consensual deepfake pornography. The user guidelines for xAI, which Musk has positioned as a rival to ChatGPT maker OpenAI, prohibit creating pornographic depictions of real people's likenesses. Grok Imagine, which is available for those with Heavy or Premium+ subscriptions to Grok, takes AI-generated images and transforms them into video clips of up to 15 seconds using style options that include Custom, Normal, Fun, and Spicy. 'Usage was growing like wildfire,' Musk wrote on X on Tuesday, though he did not address the content moderation challenges that have emerged alongside this growth. Musk has touted the features of Grok Imagine, stating that more than 34 million images have been created since the feature launched on Monday. xAI, Musk's AI startup, rolled out Grok Imagine, a video generation tool that includes a 'spicy' mode. AFP via Getty Images The timing of the Swift controversy could potentially be problematic for xAI, given the company's previous entanglements with deepfake incidents targeting Swift. Deepfakes are synthetic media — typically videos, images or audio — which are created using artificial intelligence in order to realistically mimic a person's likeness or voice.

Who Is Leonardo Dicaprio's Girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti?
We're gonna keep this short and sweet since we know you're here for all the 🍵 on Leonardo DiCaprio's latest girlfriend of *checks calendar* two years (!!!!), supermodel Vittoria Ceretti. While the two have kept things relatively low-key (save for their buzzy mega yacht getaway with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez...), we're here with absolutely everything you need to know about their relationship status, how they met, and that Leo pic spotted on Vittoria's phone during last year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. But first! Let's start with a bit of background. Vittoria was born on June 7, 1998, in a small town outside of Milan called Brescia. At 14, she made her modeling debut at Elite Model Look, aka one of the most distinguished international competitions in the world. And ever since then, she's been seriously booked and busy. Among one of the many highlights of her career, however, was her first beauty contract with Chanel. 'My first contract with Chanel, my beauty contract, that's when I was like, 'What happened, how did I get here?'' she gushed during a candid interview with Vogue. Since then, the supermodel has graced the runways and campaigns of countless top designers, including *takes deep breath* Alexander McQueen, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Givenchy, Fendi, Prada, Miu Miu, Versace, Valentino Proenza Schouler, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., and Gucci. Whoah. Yep, as a hugely successful figure in her field, Vittoria cultivated relationships with a buncha famous designers, including Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in February 2019. Fast-forward to the 2023 Met Gala, which paid tribute to the late celeb via its 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty' theme, and the model made sure to be in attendance. Prior to walking the legendary red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vittoria took to social media and shared a touching tribute to him in the form of a letter on Instagram. The year? 2023. The event? Leo's Killers of the Flower Moon premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Despite meeting at the ultra-exclusive event, however, it wasn't until August of that year that the two were romantically linked thanks to some 👀 pics of the couple on an ice cream date in Los Angeles that dropped. According to an eyewitness who spoke to Page Six, there was most certainly a 'vibe' between the duo just by the 'way they were talking to each other, you could feel the energy.' Well! Then!!!! Oh, and just a few days after, in early September, Leo and Vittoria upped the ante by being spotted dancing in Ibiza, Spain, where the actor reportedly called the supermodel his 'girlfriend.' 'Vittoria is a beautiful girl, but Leonardo is of course surrounded by many beautiful girls most of the time,' an insider told the Daily Mail at the time. 'But he adores her and she him, they have been spending a lot of time together this summer, traveling around on romantic trips.' P.S. When it came to Leo's, erm, track record, the source dished, 'It has obviously led to much chatter within his circle that Leo is ready to hang up his lothario ways. There have been many women pictured with him, partying with him, but what he has with Vittoria is much more serious.' You read that right! In photos shared by Page Six in September 2023, Leo and Vittoria were seen in Milan leaving the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Museum the day prior alongside the actor's mom, Irmelin Indenbirken. And clearly, the family reunions haven't stopped, because in October 2024, the couple and Leo's parents (aka mom Irmelin and stepfather David Ward) were snapped in Italy enjoying dinner, according to TMZ. Luckily, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show blessed us with many things—including the tidbit that the supermodel has a small photo of a young Leo from his Growing Pains days on her phone case. Ahem: So 😭 happy 😭 for 😭 her 😭😭😭. But people def thought they were after Vittoria was spotted wearing a silver ring on *that* finger back in March 2024. Despite the 👀 placement, however, multiple sources told TMZ that Leo hadn't proposed. Plus, Vittoria has reportedly had the ring since at least September 2022—aka before the two even began dating—so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. That said... Back in January 2020, the celeb said 'I do' to Italian DJ Matteo Milleri, though it's believed the two are currently separated. Per Grazia magazine, the two tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Ibiza, where Vittoria donned a flowy, A-line gown by Jacquemus. '01.06.2020 🤍 from this day forward,' Vittoria penned in the caption of a sweet Instagram carousel of wedding photos. Side note: The supermodel stopped sharing images of Matteo on social media around 2022, which is well before she and Leo met, so do with that what you will! Aaaaaanyway! That's pretty much all we know about Vittoria and her 'ship with Leo, but fear not! This story will be updated with any and all news about the couple.
