Why Are We So Obsessed With the Idea of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Getting Married?
I like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce together as much as the next person (who's not an avowed anti-Swiftie, that is): After years' worth of excellent yet depressing songs about her romantic travails, it's kind of wonderful to see the pop star in what appears, to the untrained eye, to be a happy and healthy relationship. That may be why it's so frustrating to me every time the 'Are Taylor and Travis endgame? Are they engaged???? Are they already married??????' discourse cycle starts up again, as it did this week via Page Six. (The outlet's 'evidence' that the couple may have already wed? A table assignment made out to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce' at Chicago Bears player Cole Kmet's wedding.) Obviously, if all this turns out to be an actual thing, I'll eat my words (and plenty of crow, too). But as of now, I have to wonder why we, as a society, are so invested in the idea of Swift and Kelce becoming a married couple. On the surface of it all, it might not seem that deep—people like beautiful pop stars and handsome athletes and like to see them spend their lives together!—but I can't help reading something a tad darker into the full-blown obsession that started almost immediately after the two went public as a couple in 2023. It's now 2025, and we have ample evidence (some of it provided by Swift's own lyrics!) that a woman is worth far more than the bling on her left-hand ring finger. Still, critical commentators and maritally minded Swifties alike appear determined to distill Swift's narrative down to whether or not she's settling down—or already settled down with—her boyfriend. But, please: They're full-grown adults, and this isn't a Jane Austen novel, so can we please move beyond the marriage plot? There's some substantial cultural precedent to romanticizing a fan-favorite 'fairytale wedding,' but at the risk of sounding cynical, those don't always end well. To wit: Over 750 million people watched Princess Diana float down the aisle to wed the then Prince Charles in 1981, and their actual union was, well, one of the original and defining marital hot messes. ('There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,' remember?) All the nuptial pomp and circumstance in the world didn't create an actual, lasting bond for Diana and Charles, so why would our fever pitch of parasocial expectations around Swift and Kelce's potential marriage in any way set them up for success? If we love Swift as much as so many of us claim we do, shouldn't we just…leave her and her man alone to find their own way to the altar (or not)?

Taylor Swift fears 'imminent harm' from ex-convict who allegedly visited her home carrying potential weapon
Taylor Swift has been granted a restraining order against an ex-convict who has allegedly not left her alone. On Friday, Swift filed for a temporary restraining order against Brian Jason Wagner after he allegedly came to her Los Angeles home several times over the past year. "Mr. Wagner made various statements about living at my property (not true), being in a relationship with me (not true), believing I am the mother of his son (not true), and needing to see me in person, all of which are untrue and disconnected from reality," Swift wrote in the legal declaration which was obtained by Fox News Digital. In the legal document, Swift claimed that Wagner began showing up at her Los Angeles residence in 2024 and made several visits in July of that year. "On at least one of the occasions in July 2024, Mr. Wagner was carrying a glass bottle that could have been used as a weapon," she wrote. According to Swift, Wagner returned to her home last month and "was there checking on a friend (again, this is entirely untrue)." Swift's security detail ran a background check on Wagner and discovered that he first began attempting to contact the pop star while he was incarcerated. He would write Swift letters "at length about his infatuation with me, a romantic relationship with me (which does not exist), and other completely fabricated stories about his involvement in my personal life," according to the document. The documents also state that Wagner had updated his home address on his driver's license to her Los Angeles residence. According to the document, Wagner sent her team "hundreds" of threatening emails and tried to have her personal mail sent to his home. "I have no relationship with Mr. Wagner and I have never met nor communicated with him," Swift wrote. She explained that his recent visit in May prompted her to act on a restraining order. "The fact that both of these recent visits and Mr. Wagner's inappropriate and threatening communications to my staff about me have escalated in recent weeks creates a fear of imminent harm," she wrote. A judge in Los Angeles granted Swift the temporary restraining order.

Taylor Swift's Debut Album Reaches A New Peak Almost 20 Years Later
Taylor Swift's 2006 debut returns to four U.K. charts following her announcement that she now owns ... More the masters to her first six albums, reaching a new peak on two lists. Taylor Swift (Photo by Jason Squires/WireImage) Taylor Swift is having a landmark week on charts around the world after revealing she has finally acquired the rights to her first six albums. For years, Swift has been steadily re-recording and re-releasing her early catalog in an effort to regain control of her work. Many fans have supported that campaign by deliberately avoiding streaming and purchasing the original versions of the projects that initially made her a star. Now that she officially owns the masters to those albums, Swift's entire catalog — especially the first half-dozen studio LPS — is experiencing a renewed surge. One release in particular, Taylor Swift, the self-titled debut that launched her career, is suddenly back in the spotlight. The country-pop singer's 2006 debut appears on four charts in the United Kingdom this week, reentering three of them after being absent just days ago. It becomes a strong seller again as fans revisit the only two albums from that era Swift has yet to re-release, Taylor Swift and Reputation. Although Swift revealed the updated version of Taylor Swift is finished, she hasn't shared it with the world yet, but that has no longer stopped fans from celebrating the original. The self-titled affair breaks into the top 10 on the Official Album Downloads chart for the very first time this week, as it soars to a new peak of No. 6. Previously, it had only reached as high as No. 40, and that was back in March 2009. The jump grants Swift her milestone fifteenth top 10 hit on the U.K. downloads tally. Taylor Swift also reaches a new high on the Official Albums Sales chart in the U.K., climbing to No. 29. The record had not placed on the sales ranking in the previous frame, and this moment marks only the second time it's broken into the top 40 on the list of the top-selling titles in the country. Its prior best was No. 34, which was set just last summer — nearly two decades after its original release. On the Official Physical Albums chart, the debut reenters at No. 42, though it doesn't set a new peak on that roster. Perhaps most notably, Taylor Swift rockets from No. 6 to No. 2 on the Official Country Artists Albums chart, placing Swift just one spot away from claiming yet another week at No. 1. She's held back from the summit by I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen, which refuses to budge.
