Taylor Swift Reveals Love For Travis Kelce On Girls Night Out
Taylor Swift Reveals Love For Travis Kelce On Girls Night Out originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kelce and Swift have been together since November 2023, and while there have been rough patches, the couple is in a good spot right now. With the Chiefs beginning their NFL offseason, and Swift now basking in the glow of finally purchasing the master recordings of her first six albums, per E News, the Grammy winner went on a night out with Selena Gomez in Manhattan. But for most, that wasn't the highlight; it was what Swift was wearing on her wrist. A bracelet with the initials TNT, which E News states is a tribute to Kelce, and of course, he has one too. So the couple is keeping their love alive, and while it might seem like a small gesture to wear matching bracelets, it shows that they are in a good spot, and who knows, maybe something bigger is coming down the pipeline. With Kelce entering what most believe will be his final NFL season and Swift not touring in 2025, many think that the pair's relationship will be taken to new heights. Exactly what that looks like is unknown, but there were reports of the couple's house-hunting in Kansas City. The bracelet in the spotlight is known to have been made by Wove Made Inc. Jewelers. Kelce approached the jeweller in December 2023 to get the personalized "TNT" bracelet done for Swift. To the delight of the jeweller, once Swift's one was done, Kelce asked for a replica of it for himself. According to People magazine, Swift's piece "is priced at $6,360 and was meticulously handcrafted using 14K yellow gold." it also includes "4.62 carats of lab-grown diamonds." Kelce's bracelet, also made in 14K yellow gold, with 10.12ctw of lab-grown diamonds, is basically a larger version of Swift's one. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Gavin Newsom Meets Privately With Trump Ambassador Jon Voight in LA
Gov. Gavin Newsom and Jon Voight, one of President Donald Trump's three Hollywood ambassadors, met in Century City on Thursday to discuss the actor's 'Make Hollywood Great Again' proposal. A Newsom aide and a representative for Voight confirmed the meeting to Politico. 'They shared a commitment to working together to help to build up the film industry in the U.S. — particularly California and Los Angeles,' the outlet reported. Former Warner Bros. executive DeeDee Myers, who is director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, was also present. The meeting came as California's $750 million film tax credit plan remains in the air as state budget cuts have weighed down the process. The pair of California Film & TV Jobs Act bills passed their first floor votes in Sacramento this week, though it's unclear if Trump's tariffs and/or Los Angeles wildfire recovery efforts could impact the outcome. If successful, the bills would expand the types of productions that are eligible for tax incentives, offer a 35% tax rate to L.A.-based productions and increase the program's cap from $330 million to $750 million. Newsom also previously suggested a $7.5 billion film and TV national tax incentive program last month. 'The governor is fully committed to this proposed $750 million investment in California's film and television industry, which will protect good-paying jobs and support the workers who power the state's creative economy,' a spokesperson for Newsom said in a statement. The Oscar-winning actor's May proposal includes a carrot-and-stick approach, mixing tax incentives, foreign film tariffs and co-production treaties to encourage U.S. movie production. Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone are Trump's other two Hollywood ambassadors. TheWrap has reached out to Newsom and Voight's teams for further comment.

Christian rock band respond to former member's drug abuse, sexual assault allegations
Christian rock band respond to former member's drug abuse, sexual assault allegations Nashville-based Christian rockers Newsboys are responding to troubling news regarding their 59-year-old former lead singer, Michael Tait. In a post on the group's official Instagram account, the Australian-founded band responded to allegations of drug abuse and inappropriate sexual conduct against Tait while also distancing him from the band. "Last night, our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions by our former lead singer, Michael Tait. While Michael has not addressed these allegations, we are devastated even by the implications," the statement read. "First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault." The quartet noted that as husbands who are fathers of 14 children in total, they were "horrified, heartbroken, and angry at this report and in many ways, we feel as if we and our families have been deceived for the last fifteen years." Tait told the band he had 'been living a double-life' In January 2025, Tait, who was the lead vocalist of the group for 15 years in their four decades of existence, offered the following in a statement: "Fifteen years ago, my life was forever changed when I received the invite to step into the role of lead singer for Newsboys. The years since have been some of the most fulfilling, faith-filled, and rewarding years of my life." "I have been on an amazing journey all over the globe, performing and ministering to people of all ages, races, and backgrounds." "The decision does not come lightly and has been a shock to even myself, but admist prayer and fasting, I have clarity that this is the right decision," the statement continued. In their June 5 statement, Tait's former bandmates, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein, Jody Davis and Adam Agee, noted that when he left the band, he "confessed" to them and their management that he "had been living a double-life." Through a nearly three-year-long investigation by The Roys Report, it was discovered that for two decades, Tait befriended three young men on Christian music tours in 2004, 2010, and 2014. The trio were all 22 at the time of their first interaction. Allegations of Tait, then two decades older than his accusers, engaging in acts of sexual assault and grooming highlight the lengthy investigation. Latest on Michael Tait As of June 5, Tait has not officially responded to the allegations on his social media accounts or the statement from his former bandmates. As well, there have been no further comments from the group. Upon their 2021 release of "Stand," their 20th studio album, the band spoke with The Nashville Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. It's noted that when Grammy-winner Tait, formerly of DC Talk, replaced Peter Furler as the group's new lead vocalist in 2009, the band no longer had any original members in its ranks.
