Taylor Swift Faces Family Crisis And Travis Kelce Passes The Test

Taylor Swift Faces Family Crisis And Travis Kelce Passes The Test

Yahoo3 days ago
When Taylor Swift's father faced a serious health scare, the emotional rollercoaster brought new revelations and one unexpected phone notification.
From a rushed hospital vigil to Travis Kelce stepping up like never before, Swift's inner circle is tighter than ever.
Sources say love, loyalty, and a certain family group chat now define this pivotal moment.
Taylor Swift's Father Faces Life-Threatening Emergency
Taylor's father, Scott Swift, is recovering after undergoing an unexpected quintuple bypass heart surgery earlier this week.
What began as a routine check-up for the 73-year-old turned into a sudden crisis, leaving the Swift family deeply shaken.
'The doctor found something and everything happened so fast. But they took care of it,' an insider revealed to the Daily Mail.
Scott's emergency came as a shock not just to fans, but to Taylor herself, who has historically been far more concerned about her mother Andrea Swift's ongoing health battles.
'Taylor has been so concerned with her mother's health struggles over the years that her focus was really only on her. Her dad was always in great shape,' the source added.
Andrea, now 67, has survived both brain and breast tumors.
Taylor Leans On Travis Kelce In Crisis
As the family rushed to Scott's side, it was Taylor's boyfriend, Travis, who stepped up in a major way.
Sources say the NFL star immediately 'went into total caregiver mode,' doing everything from ordering takeout for Taylor to personally checking on her father.
'This was their first crisis together and Travis was doing everything right,' the insider said. 'If Taylor wasn't ready to marry him before, she sure is now. They were in love before, but now it seems unbreakable.'
Perhaps, the ultimate sign of trust was when Travis received a coveted notification that he had been officially added to the Swift family group chat.
Travis Kelce Gets Taylor Swift's Family's Stamp Of Approval
Taylor's two-year romance with Kelce has steadily grown more serious, and this moment seems to have brought them even closer.
Travis's relationship with her family has long been solid. In May, he and Taylor hosted a Mother's Day brunch in Philadelphia with both sides of the family, including his mother, Donna Kelce, his brother, Jason, and his sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce.
Fans also remember how Donna and Taylor first bonded while cheering from the stands during the 2023 NFL season.
Even Scott Swift, a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, has warmed up to Travis, despite the Chiefs beating his beloved team in the Super Bowl.
Travis, in turn, affectionately calls him 'Big Scott' and pokes fun at his team loyalty.
Taylor Swift's Deep Bond With Her Father Resurfaces
Longtime fans know Taylor has always been close to her dad, both personally and professionally.
Scott, a former Merrill Lynch stockbroker, helped manage her career in the early days and played a major role in building her $1.6 billion fortune.
Scott has also had a subtle presence in her music.
In the fan-favorite 'All Too Well,' Taylor sings, 'You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes,' while in 'But Daddy, I Love Him,' the title itself reflects her deep paternal connection.
In May, during a tense legal battle involving Taylor's former best friend, Blake Lively, it was Scott who reportedly came to her rescue once again.
How Scott Swift Intervened In Blake Lively's Legal Battle
According to insiders, in exchange for Lively's legal team dropping a subpoena against Taylor, Scott allegedly turned over evidence showing that the opposing counsel had 'threatened to leak' Taylor's private texts with Blake.
Though Lively's team denied the claim, the friendship between the two women has seemingly been strained ever since.
In June, an insider told the Daily Mail that Lively was making attempts to reconcile with Taylor but her efforts were futile.
'Even though Taylor has cut ties with her, Blake hasn't with Taylor,' the source told the publication.
They also revealed that Lively had made multiple attempts to reach Taylor via 'texts, voicemails and emails,' begging to mend things.
'Taylor hasn't responded to any of Blake's pleas. She's ignored all her groveling excuses. The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor's part and that she would never do anything to harm their ten years of closeness and personal secrets,' the insider explained.

Jussie Smollett to speak in Netflix documentary about hate crime hoax

Jussie Smollett's alleged hate crime hoax is the subject of an upcoming Netflix documentary. The streamer announced Tuesday that 'The Truth About Jussie Smollett?' will be released on the platform Aug. 22, according to Deadline. Producers of the true-crime hits 'Tinder Swindler,' 'Trainwreck' and 'Don't F**k with Cats' are behind the 90-minute project, comprised of interviews with police officials, lawyers, journalists and Smollett himself. The film centers on the yearslong legal saga launched by Chicago investigators, who determined the 'Empire' actor staged a 2019 hate crime attack as a 'publicity stunt' to advance his career. The documentary has been described as the 'shocking true story of an allegedly fake story that some now say might just be a true story.' In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, director Gagan Rehill said the film 'is a thrilling ride, and we were lucky enough to have access to the key players.' Smollett claimed in January 2019 that unknown assailants attacked him on a Chicago street, punching him in the face, pouring a chemical substance on him and putting a noose around his neck while yelling racial and homophobic slurs. Two brothers associated with Smollett, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, later confessed to having been involved in a scheme orchestrated by the openly gay actor to make it look as though he'd been accosted by Trump-supporting extremists. The 43-year-old NAACP Image Award winner was arrested and later found guilty on a handful of charges related to the incident. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail in 2022, but was released after six days pending an appeal. His conviction was overturned last November as part of a plea deal with prosecutors in exchange for community service and the forfeiture of his $10,000 bond. Smollett, who has always denied any wrongdoing, also agreed to donate at least $50,000 to Chicago's Building Better Futures Center for the Arts organization to resolve the city's lawsuit against him. _____

Waldorf Astoria Reopens In New York With Three New Restaurants

Dishes at Yoshoku, the Japanese restaurant at Waldorf Astoria New York It's been over eight months sins the Waldorf Astoria New York closed for renovations in March 2017. And now, the legendary property dating back to 1931 has returned in renewed splendor, with three new restaurants open to the public this summer. Room reservations are now open for guests to start checking into the Art Deco property's 375 expansive guest rooms and suites starting this September. New to the iconic Park Avenue property is a signature restaurant, Lex Yard led by Chef Michael Anthony of Gramercy Tavern, plus the unveiling of a new Japanese dining locale, a kaiseki restaurant named Yoshoku. The iconic Peacock Alley (the original Waldorf Astoria restaurant replicated at the brand's properties worldwide) will return with cocktails curated by Jeff Bell of Please Don't Tell. Executive Chef Patrick Schaeffer will oversee the trio of culinary concepts. Cocktails at Lex Yard at Waldorf Astoria New York 'As we reintroduce Waldorf Astoria New York to the world, our culinary concepts serve as both a nod to our past and a bold step forward,' said Luigi Romaniello, managing director, Waldorf Astoria New York. 'Our hotel served as the birthplace for several food and beverage creations and we look forward to building on the hotel's legacy of culinary innovation and mastery with our new experiences. Peacock Alley, Lex Yard, and Yoshoku each reflect the unique spirit of this city, and they've been crafted to offer and set the benchmark for hospitality that New Yorkers — and the world — have always expected from Waldorf Astoria New York.' Here's what to know about each restaurant: Lex Yard: Waldorf Astoria's New Signature Named for the hotel's location and historic Track 61 train depot, which runs beneath the property and connects to Grand Central Terminal, Lex Yard at the corner of Lexington Avenue and 50th Street is Waldorf Astoria New York's new all day restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bilevel, 220-seat restaurant offers a ground-floor bar and upstairs dining room. Chef Michael Anthony's New American, seasonal menu is served à la carte selection or as a prix-fixe market menu, available only on the second floor. Signature dishes include the Royal Ocsiètre gold caviar sando and slow-poached halibut with borscht sauce. Ravioli at Lex Yard at the Waldorf Astoria New York Downstairs, the bar offers the a la carte menu in a more casual, convivial setting. Shareables include a raw bar, cheese and charcuterie, plus a new bagel service. Executive Pastry Chef Jennie Chiu's desserts include a reimagined red velvet soufflé tart with cream cheese raspberry swirl ice cream, a nod to the hotel's role in popularizing the iconic cake. Peacock Alley: A Reimagined Icon At the heart of the hotel, Peacock Alley returns as a destination bar and social salon connecting Lexington and Park Avenues. The space has been revitalized and restored by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with interior design by Pierre-Yves Rochon (PYR), starring a grand bar made of black lacquer and Saint Laurent Marble flanked by intimate seating areas and discreet service stations. For the first time, Peacock Alley will offer full-service dining, with a menu nodding to the hotel's heritage, including housemade pigs in a blanket with spicy mayo, roasted and raw vegetables with sweet onion dip; and a New Waldorf Salad with celery, apples, chicories, and lemon dressing. The cocktail program, developed by Jeff Bell, is inspired by classic technique and timeless flavors with modern flair. Signature drinks include the Waldorf Cocktail (New York Distilling Co. Jaywalk Rye, Carpano Antica, Absinthe) and 50th St Martini (Tanqueray No. Ten, Dry Vermouth, Muyu Vetiver Liqueur). The Cole Porter Piano at Peacock Alley in the Waldorf Astoria New York Yoshoku: Artful Kaiseki in Midtown Manhattan Steps from Park Avenue, Yoshoku is an intimate dining destination situated around the hotel's iconic 'Wheel of Life' mosaic and a series of neoclassical murals celebrating the rituals of food and gathering. The six-course locally inspired seasonal menu represents stage in the arc of life: birth, friendship, struggle, love, wisdom, and memory. Summer dishes include grilled lobster brushed with clarified butter, toro tartare with caviar, and king crab with tosazu jelly. An ala carte menu is also available. The beverage program includes sake, champagne, Japanese spirits, and signature cocktails like the Sendai (Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky, Japanese Sweet Bermutto, Yuzu Bitters), and the Tonikku (Roku Gin, Creme de Framboise, Italicus, Tonic).
