Taylor Swift honors boyfriend Travis Kelce by wearing his sweet gift during a girls night out with Selena Gomez
Taylor Swift spent the weekend with bestie Selena Gomez in New York City, though she honored her boyfriend Travis Kelce while he wasn't with them. The 35-year-old Swift and 32-year-old Gomez were spotted at Monkey Bar in Manhattan on Saturday, while Kelce was in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity event. While the 35-year-old Kelce wasn't present for the outing, Swift was clearly thinking about him, choosing to wear a sweet gift from the Kansas City Chiefs star. The pop icon was spotted wearing a custom Wove x Michelle Wie West gold and diamond tennis friendship bracelet with the letters "TNT" during the outing (via TMZ). The outing also came just days after Swift successfully purchased her own music catalogue, for a sum reported to be $360 million by some and anywhere between $600 million and $1 billion by others. Swift was seen wearing a black minidress with silver platform heels, diamond strand earrings and carrying a black handbag. Gomez was spotted a sleeveless brown top tucked into matching brown pants with a brown jacket and brown pointed-toe heels for the outing. It's unclear what the besties discussed on the outing, whether it was Swift's successful music buyback or her relationship with Kelce. As for the bracelet, Kelce approached the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based Wove Made Inc. Jewelers for the gift, which took them just three days to make, much quicker than the three weeks it typically takes. 'Since this was for him, we were all hands on deck,' Simone Kendle, CEO of Wove Made Inc., revealed to People in February 2024. He connected with the company through pro golfer Michelle Wie West, who had her own Swift-inspired friendship bracelet collaboration with Wove in 2023. 'It's really a full-circle moment. There was some serious Taylor fever going on at the time with her Eras Tour and Michelle was inspired by the friendship bracelets that were being exchanged at her concerts,' Kendle adds about the original collection. 'She knew she wanted to do an elevated take on the beaded bracelets we saw people wearing at her concerts,' Kendle continued of the Wie West collection. Kendle added 'The team's initial reaction was extreme excitement! A lot of us are Swifties (especially since she's from Pennsylvania, where Wove is based) and the idea of having Taylor wearing one of our pieces was really exciting since we knew that it would bring major exposure to our brand." The custom tennis bracelet is priced at $6,360 and was meticulously handcrafted using 14K yellow gold. The bracelet includes 4.62 carats of lab-grown diamonds adorned with custom TNT yellow gold "beads, which are encrusted with sparkling pave diamonds. Kendle adds that Kelce's bracelet (also made in 14K yellow gold, with 10.12ctw of lab-grown diamonds) is identical in design to Taylor's, simply a much larger-scaled version, including larger TNT 14K gold and diamond beads. Ever since Wove Made Inc., which began primarily as a custom engagement ring company, sent Kelce the bracelets, the team excitedly watched Swift at games hoping to spot her wearing the bracelet. Kendle says they tracked all the photos of her that were being released – whether they were of her cheering Travis on at a game or on a night out in New York. "The first time we saw the bracelet was when the rest of the world saw it too!" she says. "We had all but given up on ever seeing her spotted in the bracelet until THAT infamous hug," she adds. "As she wrapped her arms around Travis to congratulate him, a member from our team spotted the bracelet peeking out from her sweater and rang the alarm!"

Taylor Swift 'inspires' music icon after pop star bought back her music empire
One of Taylor Swift 's musical inspirations has reacted to the pop star reclaiming her music empire. After the 35-year-old Eras Tour artist announced that she has bought her master recordings for around $360 million, Carole King sent her an encouraging message. The 83-year-old icon — who Swift inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021 — reposted the announcement via Instagram Stories, and added the note, 'You continue to inspire!' The now-expired post also featured a string of emojis, including a pink heart and music notes. Swift celebrated the milestone achievement by stepping out for dinner with Selena Gomez in New York City on Saturday night. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Bad Blood hitmaker has previously opened up about how King's music has inspired her. Before introducing the Tapestry songstress at the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, she said could not 'remember a time when I didn't know Carole King's music.' The Pennsylvania native shared at the time, 'I was raised by two of her biggest fans, who taught me the basic truths of life as they saw it: That you should treat people the way you want to be treated, that you must believe you can achieve whatever you want to in life, and that Carole King is the greatest songwriter of all time.' She added elsewhere in the monologue, 'Carole taught artists like me that telling your own story is worth the work and struggle it takes to earn the opportunity for your story to be heard.' Along with her presenting duties, Swift performed a cover of King's co-written hit Will You Love Me Tomorrow, which reportedly brought King to tears. The 1960 track was originally recorded by The Shirelles and co-written by the inductee. During her induction speech, the musician thanked the 22 singer for her contributions to music and acknowledged her for 'carrying the torch forward' in pop songwriting. It came after King presented Swift with the Artist of the Decade Award at the American Music Awards in 2019. Billboard reported that Swift spent near $360 million to buy back her music catalog from Shamrock Capital after 'bully' Scooter Braun sold her masters to the private equity firm in 2020 (a year after buying them from Big Machine). 'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away,' Taylor wrote on her website on Friday. She continued, 'But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words. All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me.' Her Instagram post teasing the full statement about the masters read, 'You belong with me. Letter on my site :).' It was accompanied by several pictures of her in a simple pale blue sweater and light wash jeans while posing and smiling with six of her records.

Major update on Bill Belichick's future with UNC as $9million deadline passes
Bill Belichick 's future with the University of North Carolina took a twist on Sunday, after a special clause in his contract kicked in and his buyout dropped by $9million. The legendary coach, 73, took his first job in college football back in December when he signed a $50million agreement to take charge of the Tar Heels. But Belichick negotiated a deal with UNC that meant his $10million buyout clause dropped to just $1million from June 1. The clause, which came to light shortly after he signed a five-year contract in Chapel Hill, was considered by many to be an easy escape route back to the NFL. The 73-year-old is the most successful head coach in league history, having won six Super Bowls while in charge of the New England Patriots between 2000 and 2024. Belichick's first game in charge of UNC isn't until September 1 but so far his tenure has been dominated by off-field drama involving his relationship with 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson. A number of explosive stories have emerged over recent weeks, including claims that they are engaged and accusations about Hudson's influence over the legendary coach. The 24-year-old came under fire after footage emerged of her gatecrashing his recent interview with CBS, when she shut down a question about how they met. Then, late last month, new footage emerged of a bare-chested Belichick sneaking out of an Airbnb after a night with Hudson. The coach first went viral after revealed Ring camera footage of him sneaking out in the early hours of the morning. It was initially believed he was leaving the Massachusetts home of his 24-year-old former cheerleader girlfriend in June 2023. It has now emerged that it was, in fact, a rented Airbnb in New England and the owners initially wondered whether the 'creepy old guy' was a 'drug dealer' or a 'relative'. According to ex-ESPN reporter Pablo Torre, the owners also thought Hudson could be an 'escort'. 'She said she was a dancer. Something was off. It just didn't make sense,' they said, per Torre, who on Friday released a new clip of Belichick leaving the house. In the remarkable footage, the shirtless 73-year-old is seen carrying a satchel over his shoulder and carrying a water bottle as he heads to his car after his night with Hudson in the rented property. The video was initially leaked after the Airbnb owners attempted to make sense of who had been staying in the property. They were 'legitimately worried' about Hudson because she stayed for only one night - despite booking for five. 'We saw the Ring video in the morning not knowing who this was, but it was an older gentleman with a very young woman who checked in the night before,' the female owner told Torre. The male owner recalled their conversation: 'She said "she's with this creepy old guy who's either her relative or a drug dealer" was the first thing (she thought). 'Because of the age discrepancy, you go: "He must be a freaking coke dealer..." That was her first reaction and then I started looking. I'm like: "That does look like Belichick."'
