How about Swift and self-proclaimed Swiftie Caitlin Clark?
Long before Clark and Swift attended a Kansas City Chiefs game together last January, the Indiana Fever point guard not only lip-synced her favorite Swift song but predicted – in 2023 – that Kelce and Swift's relationship would end in marriage. She famously exclaimed, "You heard it here first," in a an interview with the Big Ten Network.
With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that Clark is among the many Swifties who have the Zoomies now that it's been reveled Swift has a new album, "The Life of Showgirl," dropping soon. Swift will also make her debut on the New Heights podcast with her boyfriend of two years, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason, on Wednesday night. Clark, in the comments of New Heights on Instagram, shared her excitement.
Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin, who has pointed to Swift as an inspiration, admires how the singer has grown through public scrutiny. The downhill skiing phenom is also waiting for the album to drop.
Individuals weren't the only ones who reacted to the double does of Swift news.
The San Diego Wave FC, of the NWSL, shared this iconic moment between Swift and now retired soccer legend Alex Morgen on Instagram. Swift was a part of the U.S. Women's National Team 2023 World Cup roster reveal, letting the world know Morgan would be on the roster.
Orange glitter has been at the forefront of the Showgirl reveal, and the album with be orange vinyl with gold glitter. Morgan clearly knew what was coming all along.

TIFF reverses decision, will show Oct. 7 massacre film
Turns out the censored film about the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel will be gracing Toronto International Film Festival screens after all. TIFF officials were expected to issue a news release on Thursday afternoon after a wild 24 hours of uncertainty and international furor. TIFF board member John Ruffolo told the Sun on Thursday afternoon that the issue 'is all resolved' and the film in question 'will be exhibited as planned and even bigger than originally. This was no easy negotiation. There were people calling for resignations and the potential of public and private sponsorships being pulled after TIFF president Cameron Bailey made the call. The film The Road Between Us tells the story about a Jewish grandfather trying to save his granddaughters during the attack that saw more than 1,200 slaughter and hundreds kidnapped. The news of the pulling of acclaimed director Barry Avrich's film went international including being placed on the front page of the New York Post and talked about on Fox News. Canada's Jewish advocacy organizations condemned the initial decision to cancel to showing. But in a TIFF board meeting Thursday, things got heated. In the end, said a source in the meeting, a 'good outcome' was brokered with input from Avrich and Bailey and others. 'Heather Reisman and Henry Wolfond from the Jewish community really helped work with TIFF chair Jeffrey Remedios and John Ruffolo and former mayor John Tory to get this done,' a source said. Some tough negotiations are said to have been employed. 'Wouldn't have happened without all of them,' said the source. As of this filing, a planned protest at the TIFF headquarters downtown had not been postponed. There are still many hard feelings about this — including from federal and provincial elected members. The bottom line is there should be no censorship of directors' works, or rewriting of history. The point of the film festival is to create atmosphere of education and debate. RECOMMENDED VIDEO

‘The View's Ana Navarro urges Gloria Gaynor to reject Trump's Kennedy Center honor
NEW YORK — Ana Navarro made a public plea for Gloria Gaynor to turn down an invite to be honored by President Donald Trump at the Kennedy Center. The outspoken Republican co-host of 'The View' took to social media on Thursday to urge the Grammy-winning disco queen to reject her induction into the 2025 class of Kennedy Center Honorees due to the MAGA leader's polarizing views and overhauling of the institution's board. Gaynor was one of five honorees unveiled Wednesday by Trump, who also announced that he'll host the Dec. 7 induction ceremony in Washington, D.C. The other honorees announced were George Strait, Michael Crawford, KISS and Sylvester Stallone. Navarro highlighted Gaynor's diehard LGBTQ+ following as reason enough for her to not accept the prestigious accolade, considering the president's anti-trans and anti-community stances that have drawn widespread criticism. 'A few years ago, I got to briefly meet @gloriagaynor at a concert in Miami,' Navarro wrote on Instagram Thursday morning. 'She gifted me a keychain that belted out 'I Will Survive,' when you pressed it. Let's just say, during [the] first Trump term, I pressed it til it ran out of batteries. Yesterday, Trump announced he picked her to receive a Kennedy Center Honor, which he plans to host.' Calling the singer 'a goddess' who 'deserves all the flowers that come her way,' Navarro stressed that she believes Gaynor should turn down the award. 'I wish she wouldn't accept an award from the hands of a man who has attacked the rights and history of women, people of color and LGBTQ,' she continued. 'The gay community in particular, helped turn her signature song into an anthem.' Navarro concluded her post by calling Trump 'a stain on the prestige and significance of the [Kennedy Center Honors],' and urged the 81-year-old singer once again: 'Don't do it, Gloria!'

Read the Script to One of the Best Episodes of ‘Andor' and Experience Greatness
One of the few rare issues with Andor being as good as it is is that we're not getting more of it, in any format—but one that especially stings is that we came so close to being able to look at the scripts behind the smash-hit Star Wars series. We were on the verge of greatness, as a certain Imperial director would've put it, in 2023 when Tony Gilroy and Lucasfilm announced that season one's scripts would be published online, only for them to never arrive. Gilroy gave us an incredibly valid reason earlier this year—to avoid the scripts being fed into generative AI models—dashing our hopes that we'd ever similarly see the scripts for the then-upcoming season 2 released either. But at least on that front, there's a tiny glimmer of hope. As part of its For Your Consideration campaign effort in the upcoming TV awards season (which, of course, includes Andor and its 14 Emmy nominations), Disney's official FYC website has been updated to include a post-final production script for Andor season 2 episode 9, 'Welcome to the Rebellion', by Dan Gilroy. The episode, itself nominated in the Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series category at next month's 77th Emmys, climaxes the third act of Andor season 2, and sees Cassian assist Mon Mothma's escape from Coruscant after she delivers a damning speech in the Imperial Senate over Palpatine's role in the Ghorman Massacre. Even though we've had plenty of opportunity to watch and revisit the episode itself, reading the script offers some fascinating insight into the creative process behind Andor, and the chance to see what emotive beats and intent came from Gilroy's writing, and what flourished or was tweaked naturally through the cast's performance and interpretation of it. It's also just a remarkable reading experience too, one that captures the tension that would ultimately sizzle on screen, with a flow and pacing that, even if you're not used to reading a shooting script, glides by with a keen slickness. It's not surprising that, even among an extremely strong crop of scripts to pick from in season 2, this is the one that earned Andor the nomination. But as good as it is, it now makes Lucasfilm and Gilroy's decision to stop the release of the rest of the Andor scripts all the more heartbreaking. It would be absolutely incredible that now the show is complete to be able to either freely peruse or even buy a coffee table book collecting the 24 scripts in a single place and re-experience the journey from a perspective that we rarely get for Star Wars material. Just another thing to blame generative AI for, for now at least. You can read the full script to 'Welcome to the Rebellion' here. Want more io9 news?
