Marvee's Food Shop restaurant review
Marvee's — named for Taylor's mother Marveline — might be inviting diners to stay the weekend. It is as far from the Instagram-face, flat-pack restaurant as one can go. About half is covered in floral, orange-and-brown wallpaper, the kind that wouldn't look out of place on a set for Abigail's Party. The other end is a soupy black but bright thanks to the huge windows of the UNDR building, in which it sits, and reminiscent, in some way, of a youth centre.

The Rolling Stones, Springhill School and sunbathing: Memories of June days in Aberdeen in archive photos
When looking back at June memories in Aberdeen over the decades, it doesn't get much better than The Rolling Stones playing The Capitol in 1965. The Aberdeen concert came at the height of the Stones' notoriety when their 'bad boy' reputations melted the hearts of girls – and enraged polite society – everywhere. It was a welcome return to Aberdeen for The Rolling Stones who'd played to a frenetic audience at The Capitol in 1964. The Rolling Stones had a relentless year-long tour schedule in 1965 barely taking a day off for 11 months, performing at least 223 times. They even managed to fit in a court summons for 'insulting behaviour' at a London service station, after which Glasgow's Stipendiary Magistrate James Langmuir branded the band 'complete morons who wear their hair down to their shoulders and wear filthy clothes'. But such pearl-clutching from the authorities only fueled the band's popularity among teenagers, and buoyed a very demanding tour. The band kicked off 1965 with two shows in Belfast on January 6, before taking in Australia, Scandinavia, America, Europe and the length of Britain before finishing up in Los Angeles on December 5. Luckily for fans in the north, The Rolling Stones managed to squeeze two Aberdeen gigs in one night into their packed programme. On June 17, the Stones arrived at The Capitol with a bang, quite literally, when their Austin Princess car collided with another on Justice Mill Lane. But the band bared noticed as they raced out to the safety of a cordon while police held back screaming fans. The Taylor family, who were occupants of the other car, weren't even there to see the Stones, they were visiting friends. To make matters worse, their teenage son Charles claimed to be a Beatles fan. Inside, the Rolling Stones had little time for preparation and were practically bundled onto stage to face their fans. Girl leapt onto seats and 'wept, waved, sobbed and raced down the aisles' where they struggled with police and ushers. More than a dozen police officers mounted guard at the stage approaches, deflecting several attempts by frenzied girls desperate to touch their idols during hits like 'The Last Time'. The Press and Journal reported how 'the steady half-hour scream ripped through the entire Stones show making everything unintelligible except the throbbing boom of the bass'. P&J reporter Julie Davidson said the band seemed unperturbed by the experience, and only Mick Jagger seemed to 'echo the frenzy of the audience'. She added: 'His long graceful body twitches, his rubber legs scissor in that odd, fluid erotic little dance, he wields the mike like a sword, nurses it like a baby and the audience throw themselves into fresh hysteria.' 'It's all a little unreal, like a surrealist impression of hell.' Julie was even lucky enough to interview the boys backstage during the interval, where Brian Jones waved a cheerful hello, and Keith Richards stood up to greet her. Brian said they didn't mind the screaming because fans in England didn't shriek any more, while Mick Jagger waxed lyrical about a fry-up they had in Laurencekirk on the way up the road.

Taylor Swift fans convinced she's secretly married Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship is once again the focus of fans' attention as Swifties are convinced the pair have got married. The Enchanted hitmaker has been enjoying a long break from her epic Eras Tour, with a brief return to the public eye to celebrate getting her masters back. Other rare appearances included Taylor, 35, out for dinner with friends or dancing the night away at a wedding with boyfriend Travis, also 35. Well, we say boyfriend. Swifties are convinced she has secretly tied the knot with the Kansas City Chiefs NFL star. Pictures shared by Ellie Nottoli, the wedding planner for Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet and Emily Jarosz, caused quite a stir. She posted a hand-calligraphied invitation envelope, which was addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce'. The delicate blue envelope showed that the couple were assigned table 13, which is Taylor's lucky number. 'Wait Taylor and Travis Kelce wedding invite???' wrote LegendaryKay__ on X as Hello_Kuting added: 'I'm so happy for Taylor!!!!' Plenty of excited fans posted exclamation marks and heart emojis in reaction to the names. However, many pointed out that this was likely just for aesthetic purposes and nothing to do with the couple themselves. 'As a 2023 bride – we made this joke with a handful of our very close friends who'd been dating for awhile lol (they all took it in good fun),' said ChaoticGoodest. 'That's usually standard for weddings, I believe,' added meggie_meg28 as SunsetSwerve13 joked: 'Oh that's Travis Swift to you, actually.' Hannahnadcoh confirmed: 'The planner literally says this is not a real invite and it's just for the video/designing process.' Meanwhile, others were just here for the chaos with diegoisred writing: 'isn't this the speak now tv font???' It wasn't, it was just cursive. Despite the invite causing the some serious mayhem among Swifties, this wasn't the wedding Taylor and Travis Kelce were seen attending. The Anti-Hero hitmaker and her partner ended up going to Travis' cousin Tanner Corum's wedding over the weekend. The Knoxville nuptials saw the famous duo sweetly swaying in their seats as they watched the happy couple dancing together. More Trending Plenty of pictures and videos revealed Taylor wore a strapless blue floral patterned dress from Markarian, which retails for $1,995 (£1,477). She kept things simple, bringing out her curls for the occasion, with fans comparing her look to her Debut era, especially with the bright blue dress. While the pair looked incredibly happy, they don't appear to have tied the knot — and if they have Taylor will probably tell us in her own time and own way. Got a story?
