New Photo of Taylor Swift at Intimate Wedding Surfaces on Friday
New Photo of Taylor Swift at Intimate Wedding Surfaces on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A new photo of Taylor Swift has been circulating on the Internet. This time, at a wedding. The candid photo, originally posted by @paigedoeswhatshewants on TikTok on Friday but was deleted an hour after it was posted, shows Swift having a conversation with two other people wearing a sleeveless baby blue midi dress with pink flowers and a pair of brown wedges. Her wavy hair was worn down and she seemed to be wearing a simple gold bracelet on her wrist. The creator who posted the photo put the 35-year-old singer's song "So High School" in the background, which is the 22nd song from her latest album "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology." "not taylor swift being at my friends friends cousins wedding..." the creator wrote. Though the "You Need to Calm Down" singer has been trying to keep a relatively low profile since the end of her "Eras Tour" in December 2024 and after her boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles in February, she has been spotted quite frequently these past couple of weeks. On Wednesday evening, the couple was seen enjoying a dinner date at Buccan in Palm Beach, with Swift wearing a black mini dress and a pair of nude wedges. Then on May 23, they were spotted eating together at Harry's Bar and Restaurant, sitting side-by-side in a booth and enjoying their night. Last Friday, the singer revealed that she purchased the rights to her first six albums: her self-titled debut, "Fearless," "Speak Now," "Red," "1989" and "Reputation." This means that the 35-year-old singer owns every single recording, music video, concert film and the art that comes with it. "All of the music I've ever belongs to me," the singer wrote in a letter that's published on her website. "Every single era. My entire life's work." Amid the exciting news of Swift's major announcement, this photo quickly sparked conversation among fans. Though details about the event remain limited, the image alone was enough to set social media story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

‘Ballerina' Director Len Wiseman Talks Scrapped ‘John Wick 3' Connections and the Truth About Additional Photography
On the 2006 set of Live Free or Die Hard, Len Wiseman directed the demise of an uncredited FBI agent played by then-stuntman Chad Stahelski. 13 years later, Wiseman met Stahelski for dinner so he could pitch the stunty turned John Wick co-creator his take on the franchise's first sidequel known as Ballerina. After sharing a meal together, Stahelski, who's now helmed four chapters involving Keanu Reeves' taciturn assassin, quickly endorsed Wiseman's hiring to Lionsgate and producing partner, Thunder Road. The John Wick brain trust ultimately made the right call, as Wiseman's actioner starring Ana de Armas now boasts his strongest reviews since Die Hard 4, including a rave from The Hollywood Reporter. He also received a kind word from one Tom Cruise after the star gushed about the film on a Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning red carpet. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'John Wick' Boss Chad Stahelski Gets Candid About Franchise: "My Process Is F***ed" 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' Review: Ana de Armas Slays in a Hard-Charging Spinoff That Makes for a Mindless Summer Treat Keanu Reeves Applauds Ana de Armas' "Joy for the Action" as She Joins 'John Wick' Universe 'It was wonderful. He reached out to me as well, and he's very kind. I love his energy of supporting other people's work. I think we need more of that, quite honestly,' Wiseman tells THR in support of Ballerina's June 6 theatrical release. In October 2024, THR spoke to Stahelski for the 10th anniversary of John Wick (2014) before he eventually addressed the online chatter surrounding Ballerina's rumored creative overhaul. The franchise shepherd was well aware and visibly annoyed by the Internet's claims that he conducted several months of 'reshoots,' ultimately rejecting such notions by detailing the two weeks' worth of additional photography he oversaw with Wiseman. He noted that Wiseman's film did not have anywhere near the time or money of the recent John Wick films, and that he ran out of runway (and proper weather) to capture the entirety of Shay Hatten's script. (Hatten wrote the original Ballerina script on spec before it was purchased by Lionsgate and retrofitted for the Wick world.) Wiseman is now raising the same points about resources, something the studio was willing to furnish upon seeing an early version of Ballerina and knowing that they were on the right track. Understandably, the online narrative bothered the director as well. '[Chad and I] were both frustrated about it. It's a really frustrating thing [to hear such claims], and it happens more today than it did back in the day. There was additional shooting because the studio loved the movie,' Wiseman clarifies. 'We had to take out some scenes from the script originally because we just didn't have the resources or the schedule. So it was an exciting opportunity to go back and add more to the film. But when the press hears about that and the reports become whatever they are, it always has a negative connotation.' One particular sequence that was scripted but never filmed during principal photography due to budget limitations is the extended opening in which young Eve Macarro (Victoria Comte) has to bear witness to her father's death at the hands of the Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne) and his cult that serves as the collective villain of the story. Essentially, Eve needed her visible source of vengeance à la John Wick's murder of John's cherished puppy, Daisy, which was a posthumous gift from his late wife. 'It was in the script, but we just didn't have the time and the schedule and everything needed to do that,' Wiseman says. 'So that was one of the scenes that we went back to do, and I was absolutely thrilled that the studio was so supportive of us going back to get what we wanted.' The newly orphaned Eve is then mysteriously recruited by franchise mainstay Winston Scott (Ian McShane), the owner of New York City's assassin hotel, The Continental. He introduces Eve to Anjelica Huston's the Director, who reprises her role from John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. Fueled by pain, Eve decides to join the Director's crime syndicate, Ruska Roma, that doubles as a New York City ballet company. John Wick himself was also raised by the Director, and after a 12-year time jump, grown-up Eve encounters the man they call the 'Baba Yaga' during his desperate return home in Chapter 3. Wiseman went to great lengths to not only extend existing Chapter 3 moments, but also create new scenes from Eve's point of view during that timeline. With the movie taking place in between the third and fourth chapters of the series, Eve's revenge tale once considered even more potential story beats that would run parallel to Chapter 3. 'As a fan, there were potential moments that I was really excited to work into the movie. In the scene where Eve first arrives at the Continental, you'd see a bunch of motorcycles speeding in the background of the city on the bridge,' Wiseman recalls. 'That would've been cool for anyone who's really paying attention to detail. 'There's the samurai and John on motorcycles [from Chapter 3].'' Ballerina also once ended with Eve checking into the Continental, and Wiseman's one-time wish was to then conclude the film on another angle from Chapter 3. 'Right after Eve checks into the Continental, she'd go up to her room, and we'd see a view of the hotel to where we think the movie is ending,' Wiseman shares. 'Then we'd hear a screech, and the camera pans down just in time to catch two motorcycles [John and Mark Dacascos' Zero] crashing at the base of the Continental.' Below, during a recent conversation with THR, Wiseman also discusses the other franchise characters that were briefly considered for returns, before explaining why his design of the grenade snowball fight is especially meaningful to him. *** Tom Cruise paid quite a compliment. That must've been a welcome message to receive during your press tour. It was wonderful, yeah. He reached out to me as well, and he's very kind. I love his energy of supporting other people's work. 'Let's go back to the movies!' I think we need more of that, quite honestly. My positive, and equally impactful, reaction to the film came out amid this commotion over the embargo language, and so I went back and checked what I was originally sent. And the messaging that I received didn't have the wording that raised eyebrows. It was standard 'spoiler-free social reaction' language. Anyway, were you pretty frustrated by that miscommunication? Yeah, of course. I've been so busy with the premieres that I don't really even know much about it. I know [the miscommunication] was on [publicity's] part. The other thing I knew is that they're really not wanting to give away spoilers of any kind. There's quite a few mysteries and such, but I can't even really speak to it because I don't actually know. The road to began with . co-creator Chad Stahelski worked for you on that set? Yeah, Chad got killed [as an uncredited FBI agent and credited stuntman]. He pops up in there with a friend of mine [Brad Martin] that I grew up with; Brad was also working with that team as stunt coordinator. We shot that Baltimore sequence, and it was supposed to be the first action scene when Timothy Olyphant's character does an onslaught on McLane [Bruce Willis] and Farrell [Justin Long]. Chad and Brad are the two FBI guys that have a firefight with the helicopter gunman. So Chad's got a glorious death scene, and we've known each other for quite a long time just by coming up in the business together. You've made action films in the 2000s, 2010s and the 2020s, so you've seen trends come and go. Now that you've worked inside it, do you fully understand why the Wickian brand of action has set the bar the last 11 years? When you really can see that it's your actor doing the action, there's truly a different kind of feeling. A lot of people talk about the longer takes, and then there are longer takes that add stitches to make them even longer. Personally, that feels more like the director showing off his long take, as opposed to the longer takes in Wick that I'm a fan of. You don't give the audience a second to take a breath, and it becomes more of an investment, especially if it's actor-driven action. [Writer's Note: In two of our previous chats, Stahelski has also railed against stitched oners.] So there's many reasons why I think John Wick set the bar in terms of choreography, but its very specific tone of action is really important too. You never want to laugh in the face of the character action that's happening because then the stakes are gone. It could be a really fun sequence and tone, but if the action doesn't have stakes and danger to it — and the characters are cracking jokes within the danger — as an audience member, you go, 'If you're not going to be afraid, then I'm not going to be afraid for you.' So there's many levels, but if I had to really boil it down, it's actor-based action that's really had an impact. That's what Keanu and Chad together brought to it. There's something about staying in the shot with the actor. There's a difference between watching a cool action scene and watching a cool action scene and going, 'Holy shit, that's him,' or, 'That's her.' It gives you a different kind of reaction. Did essentially serve as Ana de Armas' audition for Eve Macarro? No, not at all, but that sequence was absolutely fantastic. I would love to see that character show up again; it was just too brief. We had already gotten involved with Ana. I had Ana in mind for quite a while before that. I went and saw a private screening of No Time to Die, and that confirmed her casting even more. So I was excited when I saw that cool moment, but she was already involved in the whole process. takes place between the third and fourth films. You revisit the events of, using a Rashomon-type approach to show Eve's point of view on John's return to Ruska Roma. How challenging was it to expand and maintain continuity? It was definitely a challenge and an excitement. I love a challenge. It gives me fuel to be creative. So I had a really fun time taking a different perspective on certain elements of Chapter 3, and I was really into it. Early on, the moment that I thought would resonate and people would remember is when John comes to meet the Director [Anjelica Huston]. We're now looking at it from Eve's point of view before he mentions, 'It wasn't just a puppy.' It took a lot of time to recreate the sets exactly. I wanted to really recreate those moments from a different perspective so that we weren't just using footage from the existing film. I watched the scene again for the timing and spacing, and there's a little detail when John and the Director walk down the stairs. John looked [to his left] in that moment where they stop on the stairs, and so there was space to add a piece where he looks up slightly and sees Eve. And so we got to see that moment from her side. I love that stuff. I've done sequels and remakes, and Ballerina just doesn't feel that way. In fact, I actually think the word spinoff is misleading for this. John meets Eve before she goes on to complete her first contract, and then you jump ahead two months. Does that mean John returns to the movie Winston (Ian McShane) shot him off the roof at the end of ? Yes. So it's after he's recovered a little bit? I just want to get the timeline right. Yes. Did Keanu's days on set have the same electricity that his mythical boogeyman character has in the story? He really does have that effect. It's such a contradiction too because he's one of the nicest, most generous — forget actors — humans that we have. So there is a reverence when he walks on set in the suit. He is John Wick, even when he's just walking around on set. It's similar to when Harrison Ford puts on the hat and carries the whip. It's pretty awesome, and it gives you chills. Did Keanu have you trim his dialogue at all? He tends to have a 'less is more' mindset with Wick. He did! He's very collaborative. I had a really great experience getting into his head about the character. We got together at the hotel before shooting, and we essentially did that. He absolutely is the guy who is like, 'I don't need to say that. What if I don't say this, and I just do it with a look?' So, yeah, there was a culling of dialogue. Daniel Bernhardt plays a 'Scarred Eye Assassin,' and I bring this up because he played a notable character who John Wick killed in the first movie. Is the scar meant to imply that his original character survived? Or is the scar supposed to signal that he's an entirely new character? [Note: Bernhardt also did stunt work on the second and third films. Fans spotted someone in that resembles him, but it's still uncredited and unconfirmed.] We had a lot of talks about how much we should cover Bernhardt's face. It's an ambiguous, fun gag as to what people make of him. But in the scope of my story, I'm treating him as a different character. At the same time, I wanted people to recognize him. Rooney (Unity Phelan) was the first ballerina we met at Ruska Roma in . Was there ever a discussion about bringing her back? Or would that have been too confusing in the middle of Eve's own introduction? [Note: Rooney is the name of the main character in Shay Hatten's original script, before it was retrofitted for the Wick franchise.] There absolutely was very early on, but you're exactly right. I thought it would cause confusion. She's the one highlighted ballerina character that we see in Chapter 3, and it just would have caused a hiccup of clarity. It was bittersweet to see Lance Reddick's Charon one final time. Knowing that this was the last of Lance's footage, did you repurpose or recontextualize anything just so you could use it all? Honestly, no. Everything that we did is very important to the film. Everything that we shot is in there, and it's in there for the story and the movie. I'm so happy that I got the chance to actually work with him and have him in this film. Lance would say this, but there aren't really any good guys in the Wick universe. It's a universe of all bad guys in a sense, but I do believe that Lance's character, Charon, is the heart and soul of the series. I love that you perpetuated the running gag involving the Continental. Every movie introduces a new room or wing that we didn't know was there previously, and the dimensions never align with the exterior of the building. (Laughs.) I remember talking to Chad about it. He showed me the production designer's side view of all the Continental's levels and what could be underground. But they decided to just keep it as a running gag, like you said. If you look at that building, it's the tallest, skinniest structure. This is a weird reference, but it's like The Man with Two Brains. Steve Martin walks into that small condo door only to see a castle interior, and he's like, 'From the outside, it does not look this roomy.' (Laughs.) So it's almost like you enter a door, and you cross over into this slightly heightened world with all these rooms. So I think it'll continue to grow now that it's been destroyed. You'll find more of the underground sections of it. I spoke to Chad for the 10th anniversary of , and we eventually discussed 's additional photography. He quickly expressed a bit of frustration that the 'couple of weeks' of extra shooting that you guys did was so blown out of proportion. Ultimately, are you just glad that the studio backed the movie to such a degree that you could add more firepower to it? A hundred percent. We were both frustrated about it. It's a really frustrating thing [to hear such claims], and it happens more today than it did back in the day. There was additional shooting because the studio loved the movie. We had to take out some scenes from the script originally because we just didn't have the resources or the schedule. [Lionsgate] then really believed in the [early cut of the] movie after we put it together, so it was an exciting opportunity to go back and add more to the film. But when the press hears about that and the reports become whatever they are, it always has a negative connotation. But I'm just so glad that we were able to go back. For instance, it was really important to me that we showed Ana's character as a little girl, and we didn't have that opening before [additional photography]. It was in the script, but we just didn't have the time and the schedule and everything needed to do that. So that was one of the scenes that we went back to do, and I was absolutely thrilled that the studio was so supportive of us going back to get what we wanted. [Note: Wiseman has noted elsewhere that Reeves was not involved in additional photography.] To name a few, the grenade fight, the car crash in the alleyway and the flamethrower sequences are so impressive. Thank you. What are your individual highlights from each? I love all their different stories. The grenade sequence means a lot because it was the first action sequence that I wrote up a while ago. (Laughs.) When we were developing the script from stage one, I asked, 'What if there was a snowball fight with grenades? What would that be like?' The process of shooting it was a fun one to design. There were a lot of trap doors for our stunt players to go through before the pyrotechnics went off, and that allowed us to stay in the one shot with Ana. So it was just something that I had not seen before. There's only so many weapons available to create an action sequence, and having an actual gunfight with flamethrowers has never been seen on-screen. If you're pitching an action sequence to a studio and you want to put together a rip reel or an example for them to watch, it's a good thing when you can't find examples or references. That's when you know you're onto something unique. I know there's some VFX involved, but I just don't understand how you can execute the flamethrower fight without burning the set down and inflicting third-degree burns on the entire cast and crew. We worked with the best stunt team around in 87eleven, so it was a really safe set. And there were very limited visual effects. It's essentially a practical sequence despite some enhancements. So it was controlled, but it absolutely was dangerous, especially being inside with both of those flamethrowers going off at the same time. I've done action sequences with helicopters, and helicopters at close range are terrifying on set. They sound terrifying. If you get on a helicopter, it feels dangerous, especially when it's doing stunts that are coming in low to your cameras and everything. The flamethrowers have that same effect, and I've never utilized a weapon that had that much of a dangerous vibe about it. But it's unlike anything that I've seen, and that's the goal of every sequence. [Note: The following section contains very mild spoilers, primarily who did not appear and what did not happen in .] The movie ends with the audience wanting to know what's next for Eve. Do you know what's next for her? In fantasy-type thinking, yes, but I really just concentrated on this film. I wanted this film to be the best that it could possibly be, but it's hard not to wonder. Often, when I am asked that, I'll say, 'No, I want to wait and see what happens.' And that's true to a point, but when you're developing something and you get so immersed in a character, you have to build out what their story is before and after the movie you're making. That's how you really understand the character, so that's always on my mind. The movie ends a bit ambiguously on purpose. Who's putting the contract out on her? I'd like to hear theories about where it goes. I definitely have my theory. I would love it if it were to continue, and I think it would surprise people where we would go with it. So we're just waiting for what the reaction is to this one, but yes, I totally have fantasy plans about where Eve would go. So no one ever said, 'Hey, tee this ending up for to pick up where you left off'? No, not at all. There's a cool scene at a table where Eve has to assemble and fire a weapon before someone else does. Was there ever a draft that had her on the other side of that table? Oh, interesting. No. That's where I thought the movie was heading. She'd be forced to come back to Ruska Roma and sit on the other side. When the other character says to Eve, 'I'm you in ten fucking years,' let's see what happens in ten fucking years. (Laughs.) Eve is still going on her path, and it's a brutal world. We see a darker side to the Director's character in this one, and the rules are in place for a good reason. They abide by their code and their rules, and even if you're a surrogate mother role like the Director, you have to protect your tribe. I remember talking to Anjelica about putting a darker slant on her character, and her eyes lit up. Did you consider any other franchise cameos? Laurence Fishburne's Bowery King was discussed early on as we were fine tuning the timeline, and then there was a discussion about Caine [Donnie Yen] at one point. It's really finding what fits the story best. Ruska Roma was our base, so it allowed us different windows of crossing over into the parallel timeline. But there weren't just characters considered. As a fan, there were potential moments that I was really excited to work into the movie. In the scene where Eve first arrives at the Continental, you'd see a bunch of motorcycles speeding in the background of the city on the bridge. You always have to make the timeline work, but that would've been cool for anyone who's really paying attention to detail. 'There's the samurai and John on motorcycles [from Chapter 3].' That would've been cool. Yeah, at one point, before the timeline became exactly what it is, there was another idea that I liked at the end. Right after Eve talks to Winston and checks into the Continental, she'd go up to her room, and we'd see a view of the hotel to where we think the movie is ending. Then we'd hear a screech, and the camera pans down just in time to catch two motorcycles [John and Mark Dacascos' Zero] crashing at the base of the Continental. Fucking cool, right? You should add those details to your special edition of in ten years. I know! I love stuff like that. Some people might go, 'What's going on?' But for the people who are in on it, they'd be like, 'That's just cool.'***Ballerina is now playing in movie theaters nationwide.

'The Life of Chuck' review: Soulful Stephen King movie is 2025's best so far
'The Life of Chuck' review: Soulful Stephen King movie is 2025's best so far Show Caption Hide Caption 'The Life of Chuck': Tom Hiddleston headlines Stephen King movie Based on a Stephen King novella, "The Life of Chuck" chronicles the life of accountant Charles Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) in three acts told in reverse. 'The Life of Chuck' doesn't have any demonic clowns, killer pets or telekinetic kids. It's also, in its own way, the most amazing story Stephen King ever told, a brilliant novella that begins at the end of the world and winds up in a haunted attic. Fortunately, 'Chuck' (★★★★ out of four; rated R; in select theaters June 6, nationwide June 13) is made by a filmmaker who gets King like none other. Writer/director Mike Flanagan ('Doctor Sleep,' 'Gerald's Game') captures the uplifting and bittersweet qualities of King's prose and brings his own gift for character depth to the story of Charles Krantz, played by four talented thespians (including Tom Hiddleston). Flanagan, also to his credit, goes all in on the legendary author's unconventional storytelling, a lifetime that unfurls in three acts and in reverse. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox The first centers not on Chuck but schoolteacher Marty Anderson (Chiwetel Ejiofor). He's making his way through pointless parent-teacher conferences even as the end times have arrived – the Internet's down, the world's falling apart, etc. – and people are dealing in whatever ways they can. Some walk around like zombies waiting for the sky to fall (literally or figuratively), and people go to jobs though there's nothing for them to do. What really weirds Marty out, though, is the strange billboards emblazoned '39 great years! Thanks Chuck!' and the image of Chuck at his desk with a cup of coffee. Marty reaches out to his nurse ex-wife Felicia (Karen Gillan), who's also at a loss about what the deal is with this Chuck guy, and they reconnect as everything grows dark around them. We finally meet the mysterious Chuck in the rousing second act, with a sequence straight out of 'La La Land.' Our man is an accountant skipping out on a day of work who winds up in a busy square and, inexplicably, begins to dance to the beat of a drumming busker. Chuck enlists the help of a young woman named Janice (Annalise Basso) and they enjoy a crowd cheering to the exhilaration of their samba- and swing-fueled moves. But the Capraesque third act is where the movie finally reveals itself, as Cody Flanagan, Benjamin Pajak and Jacob Tremblay play Chuck in various stages as a kid navigating joy, tragedy and a child-like understanding of a bigger picture. This part of the story also employs some smooth moves – including Michael Jackson's moonwalk – as well as some deeper thoughts courtesy of Chuck's lovably crusty grandpa Albie, played by Mark Hamill. Sure, he's forever Luke Skywalker, but Albie is just as much a role he was born to play. Narrated in folksy style by Nick Offerman, the movie features a deep bench of supporting actors, many from the regular troupe Flanagan has employed for movies and Netflix horror shows such as 'Midnight Mass.' Kate Siegel has a pivotal role as Chuck's English teacher, while Matthew Lillard and Carl Lumbly shine in small but poignant parts amid an impending apocalypse. All the Chucks are spot on as well: Hiddleston is a magnetic Everyman, even in limited screen time as the lead of the movie, and young Pajak notches a star-making turn opposite Hamill. What is 'The Life of Chuck' about? Every member of the cast contributes in a small way to the collective beauty of the soulful film's themes, its exploration of humanity and grand existential questions. Who do you want by your side when it all ends? What happens if you choose practicality over creativity? Do you make the most of every moment of your life? It's a thought-provoking, big-hearted effort where you can see Chuck as one ordinary guy or a reflection of the multitudes contained within us all. Flanagan juggles a variety of moods and emotions throughout, so even if they seem disparate alone, they all make sense in context. There's impending doom, buoyant revelry, intimate drama, coming-of-age wonder and, yes, even some unnerving terror. (We are dealing with the author of "It" and "The Shining," so it can't all be puppies and rainbows.) If you want to go for the really scary stuff, there are plenty of other King movies for that. 'Chuck' instead is something truly special, a moving fantasy of a life well lived and no dance step left untaken. How to watch 'The Life of Chuck' Based on the Stephen King novella, "The Life of Chuck" is in select theaters June 6 and nationwide June 13. The film is rated R by the Motion Picture Association "for language."
