5 shots of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce canoodling at Oilers-Panthers
5 shots of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce canoodling at Oilers-Panthers The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers put on an absolute show on Thursday night as the Oilers picked up a much-needed win in the Stanley Cup Final to take Game 4 in dramatic fashion. The reigning champion Panthers tied the game at 4-4 with 19 seconds left in the third period, but would go on to lose in overtime. Among the crowd for the immediate classic was celebrity couple Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The singer and Kansas City tight end were in Florida to take in the game, and the pair could not have seemed happier throughout the evening. Swift and Kelce have been dating since summer of 2023, and they were seen being affectionate with each other throughout the evening. Cameras caught the 14-time Grammy winner and the 3-time Super Bowl champ canoodling, laughing and overall just enjoying each other's company. Both were thrilled at the exciting finish of the game, and the NHL playoffs are just the latest in the couple's sporty run. Kelce and Swift made it to both tennis and baseball in the last couple years, and Swift has, unsurprisingly, been a mainstay at NFL games as she supports her beau. Kelce will kick off his 13th NFL season this year, so Swift's sports fan era will keep going strong.

Blake Lively Has Replaced Taylor Swift With ‘Real' People, Claims ‘Source'
Blake Lively and Taylor Swift's friendship was a tight-knit one. When the Grammy winner was dragged into Blake Lively's ongoing legal battle with her 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni, the two drifted apart. Some reports started doing the rounds that Taylor Swift had distanced herself from the actor. As per a 'source,' Blake Lively has replaced Taylor Swift with 'real' people in her life. According to the 'friend', this move comes as 'Gossip Girl' alum wants to take revenge on Taylor Swift for kicking her out of the circle. Amid the personal and professional drama, Blake Lively has lost a great deal in the process. This also includes her once close friend Taylor Swift. Their friendship dates back to 2015 and has grown strong over the years. This was until Taylor Swift was dragged into the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively legal drama. The latter had filed the lawsuit in 2024 with harassment charges against her co-star. Now, Blake Lively is on a mission to rebuild her friend circle. This includes Gigi Hadid, Salma Hayek, Emily Blunt, Florence Welch, and Karlie Kloss. The actor emphasises the need to have 'real people' in the group who can be with her. As per RadarOnline, the source said, 'Blake's not crying over spilled champagne. Her new girl squad may not be packed with pop stars, but it's real, and that's what she needs right now.' The friend further clarified that the actor wants reliable people in her circle. Blake Lively is 'also looking to build up more high-profile bonds.' Meanwhile, they stated the actor wants to prove to Swift that 'she is still a Hollywood heavyweight.' The source added that she is rebuilding her inner circle, due to 'bitterness' toward the pop icon.

Princess Kate's Poignant Milestone in Cancer Journey
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. Princess Kate is expected to attend Trooping the Colour this weekend, marking one year since her return to public life following her cancer diagnosis. The Princess of Wales retreated from the public glare in the first half of 2024 after having abdominal surgery in January and later announcing a cancer diagnosis. As she avoided the limelight, social media users circulated increasingly morbid conspiracy theories, with some even suggesting the palace was covering up her death. The annual military parade, which Kate attended last June while undergoing chemotherapy, served as her first official appearance following her cancer announcement. On Saturday, the princess—who said in January that she was in remission—is expected to return for another Trooping the Colour, King Charles III's birthday parade.

BENJAMIN CREMEL/AFP via Getty Images The 'Where Is Kate Middleton' Conspiracy Theories Kate's team announced at the time of her abdominal surgery in January 2024 that she would spend a period of time out of the public eye. However, when there were no post-surgery images of the princess, the rumor mill went into overdrive—with Kim Kardashian among high profile figures to join the social media trend of asking, "Where is Kate Middleton." Amid a clamor for "proof of life" images of Kate following her surgery, the palace marked Mother's Day in the U.K. with an image of the princess surrounded by her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The photo caused its own controversy, however, when it emerged that Kate had made numerous edits to the image. International picture agencies issued a "kill notice" instructing news outlets not to use it. Kate apologized on X, formerly Twitter, but the palace declined to release an original image, further fueling conspiracy theorists. Princess Kate Announces She Has Cancer On March 22, Kate released a recorded video announcing that she had been diagnosed with cancer and needed time away from the public eye. "In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was noncancerous," the princess said. She continued: "The surgery was successful. However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. "This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. "As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK." Kate Chooses Trooping the Colour for Her Comeback Despite the gravity of her diagnosis, some social media users continued to create pressure for a public appearance from Kate by suggesting that her March video was AI generated. Two months after her announcement, Kate stepped out before the world's media, choosing a quintessentially royal moment for her comeback. The princess accompanied her children during the carriage procession of Trooping the Colour wearing an outfit inspired by Eliza Doolittle, the commoner who pretends to be a duchess, in My Fair Lady. Her appearance at the event was later described as a "boost to the nation." Louis likewise captured the hearts of the British public by dancing on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
