However, fans were stunned when Taylor Swift was nowhere to be spotted at the American Music Awards 2025.
A fan took to X and wrote, 'Taylor Swift watching all of us clowning rn from the comfort of her house #ReputationTaylorsVersion #AMAs', while another fan commented, 'taylor swift at home peacefully sleeping while we we watch the AMAs #amas'.
Fans have blamed the AMAs as many feel Taylor Swift was 'ignored'
Taylor Swift reached new heights in her career last year but at the AMAs, the pop sensation was not able to win in any category.
Fans were shocked at this and many feel the AMAs have 'intentionally' not let Taylor Swift win this year.
A fan posted on X, 'I think they're trying to create a new fave of the AMAs because Taylor holds too much power'
Another fan posted, 'If the @AMAs muting the crowd cheering for Taylor during the category announcements isn't proof that these wins were heavily manipulated, I don't know what is.'
Taylor Swift has remained silent despite all the controversies she has found herself in. At the moment, it seems like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are focusing all their attention on their relationship.

Raj Kundra recalls proposing to Shilpa Shetty without asking her to leave India: 'I told her I bought a house opposite Amitabh Bachchan's'

Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra's marriage journey involved overcoming obstacles and demonstrating commitment. Kundra, initially based in London and Dubai, met Shilpa after her Big Brother win and persistently pursued her despite her busy filming schedule. Respecting Shilpa's desire to stay in India, Kundra bought a Mumbai apartment and promised to make India their home. Love often requires patience, understanding, and thoughtful choices. For Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra , their journey to marriage was full of moments that tested their commitment and showcased the lengths they were willing to go for each other. Early life and how they met Raj Kundra was born and raised in London to Punjabi parents. In 2007, he moved to Dubai to start his business, around the same time he met Shilpa Shetty in the UK. She had just won the popular reality show Big Brother season 5, and the meeting was arranged through a mutual friend who also managed her. In conversation with BHARTI TV, Kundra recalled that they connected well when they first started talking, which marked the beginning of his efforts to woo her. Growing up, he and his father had been Bollywood fans, so he was already familiar with Shilpa's films. However, getting her to agree to marriage was neither quick nor easy. Navigating Shilpa's busy schedule Kundra further said that Shilpa was busy shooting a film for about a year and a half, which left him feeling a bit impatient. At the time, it was commonly believed that a heroine's career ended once she got married. He suggested that she confirm with the producer or director whether the film would actually happen, or else he might step back. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally Undo Buying a home to honor her wishes Since the Bollywood actress was clear about wanting to stay in India and marry there, Kundra, who didn't own any property in the country, reached out to a real estate agent he knew. The agent told him about a seven-floor apartment being built opposite Amitabh Bachchan 's Juhu bungalow, Jalsa. Without even seeing the flat, Raj immediately bought the seventh floor. Proposal and promise to stay in India Kundra told Shetty that he had bought a flat for them and proposed, to which she agreed. He mentioned that it didn't matter where he worked, but now that he had fallen for her, he was determined to go all out. He assured her that he would never ask her to leave India and that any trips abroad would only be for holidays, respecting her wish to stay in her home country. The businessman also tried to persuade his parents to move to Mumbai with them, but they preferred to stay in the UK, where they had lived for 55 years and had their entire circle of friends. They now visit India only for festivals like Diwali and Christmas, though Kundra keeps the door open for them if they ever decide to relocate. Shilpa's mother, Sunanda Shetty, also lives with the couple following the death of her husband, Surinder Shetty. Kundra explained that after his father-in-law passed away, he invited his mother-in-law to stay with them, ensuring she had enough space and comfort. Shilpa and Raj Kundra are also parents to two children — son Viaan and daughter Samisha. "Get the latest updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."

Can you even watch a show without subtitles anymore?

Subtitles are no longer just for foreign language titles but also English content During theatrical screenings of Conclave , many moviegoers found themselves asking, 'Wait, what did they say?' The film, as shown in cinemas, had no subtitles — unlike its streaming release. Audiences say streaming platforms have rewired how we consume content — subtitles are no longer just for foreign language titles but also English content. In the US, almost 50 per cent viewers regularly watch English content with English subtitles. Closer to home, viewers say the trend is just as strong, if not stronger — though there's little formal data yet to confirm it. In 2020, while accepting the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, Parasite director Bong Joon Ho said, 'Once you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so more amazing films.' It seems like viewers truly got over the barrier. We look at how subtitles have gone from optional to essential for everyone, everywhere. ■ In 2022, Netflix revealed that 40% of its global users have subtitles (more commonly known as closed captions in some countries) on all the time, while 80% switch them on at least once a month – stats that far exceed the number of viewers who need captioning because of hearing impairment ■ Apple TV automatically enables subtitles when you rewind a show by more than ten seconds 'Default option is to always keep subtitles on' Noor Desai, who works for a production house, says, 'Whenever I'm watching something on a streaming platform, my default option is to always keep subtitles on. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo If there's a subtle or subtextual moment that I might miss, one that's integral to the plot, subtitles help me catch it. Take, for example, the recent season of Studio , there is so much going on in that show that without subtitles, there's a chance you might miss something. ' She adds, 'Whenever someone tells me — you don't need a subtitle for this series or film — I'm like, 'Oh! I need it. I need it to watch, to understand, and to screenshot and post on socials!'' Nayan, a naturalist, says that Conclave , which he first saw in a theatre and then again at home, 'was honestly a better watch the second time around because of the subtitles.' With the rise of multi-lingual shows, platforms are finding creative ways to differentiate between languages in the subtitles The subtitle that revealed the plot! In some cases, subtitles have actually ruined the show for fans. In the climactic yacht scene in Season 2 of White Lotus , Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) is in a panic and alone. She climbs into a bedroom, seemingly trapped, and a subtitle suddenly appears: Greg calling her out – even though Greg (played by Jon Gries) was not on the yacht at that moment. Fans were enraged that the subtitles inadvertently revealed the killer in the whodunit, even though the show had not reached its climax. It's subtitles over dubbed version Most fans of Korean films and series are convinced that they know Korean because they can say words like oppa , saranghae , and kamsahamnida . Viewers say that watching a series with English subtitles and audio in its original language feels more authentic than a dubbed version. Suchitra Banerjee, a viewer, says, 'When I started watching Lady's Companion , the platform played it in English. It felt off to me, so I went to the audio section and found out that it was automatically playing the dubbed version. I changed it to European Spanish (the original language) and turned the subtitles to English. It felt much more authentic to watch the show in its original language.' However, once in a while, questions are raised over how authentic the translation is in the subtitles – like in the case of Squid Game (Korean), Lupin (French). Colour-coded captions for multilingual shows With the rise of multi-lingual shows, platforms are finding creative ways to differentiate between languages in the subtitles. In Pachinko, creators used colourcoded subtitles for different languages. So, when Sunja (Youn-yuh-jung) speaks Korean, the subtitles appear in yellow and her Solomon's (Jin Ha's) Japanese is subtitled in blue. Alisha, who works in the cinema business, says, 'When I started watching the show I realised how helpful it was. Most people outside Korea and Japan wouldn't know when the languages switch – it helps the viewer pick up on that.' As per studies, subtitles reinforce comprehension, especially in non-native speakers Subtitles increase comprehension, but can divert attention away from visual cues As per studies, subtitles reinforce comprehension, especially in non-native speakers. They help clarify fast or unclear speech, unfamiliar accents, or complex dialogues. Subtitles also often help viewers retain information better. By reading and hearing the same content, viewers engage multiple cognitive pathways, improvingmemory and comprehension. However, reading subtitles can divert attention away from visual cues – body language, facial expressions, or background actions – that are essential for full narrative comprehension. In one study, 92% of participants felt they missed visual details while reading subtitles. "Get the latest updates on Times of India, including reviews of the movie Coolie and War 2 ."

Power Games: How Donald Trump tried to make Volodymyr Zelenskyy wear a suit and tie – but the latter refused

There's a running gag on the popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother where Barney Stinson keeps asking Ted Mosby to suit up, and the protagonist just ends up wearing a blazer. It would appear that running gag is now part of American politics where Volodymyr Zelenskyy when the Trump administration arm-twisted the Ukrainian President to up his sartorial game before meeting the leader of the 'free world'. Except the sartorial rebel – who has been wearing a sweatshirt to show solidarity with his troops in Ukraine – refused, turning up in a black jacket over a collared black shirt and no tie. The White House Wardrobe Request The Wall Street Journal reported that ahead of the Oval Office meeting, the White House pressed Zelenskyy to dress more conventionally: suit, tie, and the whole Capitol Hill starter pack. For Trump's team, it wasn't about fabric but fealty. A suit signals hierarchy; a tie signals submission to the script of American presidential theatre. But Zelenskyy has spent the last three years rewriting that script. His wartime wardrobe is not an accident of comfort but a deliberate symbol. Sweatshirts, fatigues, and henleys have become part of Ukraine's frontline diplomacy, reminding the world at every summit that Kyiv is not hosting cocktail parties but fighting for survival. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 5 Books Warren Buffett Recommends You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The Jacket as Counter-Narrative President Donald Trump meet with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office at the White House, Monday, Aug. 18, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson) Zelenskyy's black jacket at the White House was a carefully chosen middle finger wrapped in compromise. Colour & Cut: Deep black, military-inspired canvas fabric, shaped like a blazer but stripped of luxury. Details: Shirt-style collar, button closure, four front pockets, practical design. Pairing: Black trousers, sometimes combat boots — less Wall Street, more wartime chic. It was more formal than his sweatshirt-and-combat look, but still unmistakably not the suit-and-tie costume Trump's aides wanted. The jacket itself has appeared before — notably at a NATO summit — underlining that this is part of a strategy, not a whim. Visual Diplomacy Clothes in politics are rarely just clothes. Winston Churchill had his wartime boiler suit. Jawaharlal Nehru turned the achkan into a jacket now worn by diplomats worldwide. Narendra Modi made even pinstripes carry a monogrammed message. Zelenskyy's blazer is his version of that playbook. It tells two audiences two different things: To the West, it signals seriousness, diplomacy, and respect for the occasion. To Ukrainians, it signals continuity with his wartime image, proof that even in Washington's gilded halls, their president hasn't swapped uniforms for tuxedos. This is visual diplomacy — adapting to the stage without abandoning the role. Trump's Optics Over Substance If Zelenskyy was playing with subtlety, Trumpworld was not. During an earlier Oval Office meeting in February, Trump mocked Zelenskyy's casual wear, while Vice President JD Vance scolded him for not saying 'thank you' enough for US support. The fixation on clothing and gratitude reveals a mindset less about alliance and more about obedience. Washington couldn't force Moscow to retreat, but it could try to make Kyiv wear a tie. The irony? The world noticed the jacket far more than it would have noticed a generic navy suit. Power in a Jacket The black jacket represented three overlapping messages: Defiance in Fabric: Zelenskyy would not bow to Washington's costume demands. Compromise in Cut: The jacket was a step up from sweatshirts, but a step short of a tie. Consistency in Symbolism: His clothes continue to double as a uniform of resistance. When asked by a conservative reporter why he refused to wear a suit, Zelenskyy replied: 'I will wear costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours, maybe something better.' That quip captured the defiance: clothes, like peace, would come on his terms. Lyndon Johnson once said politics is about power — 'and power is where power goes.' Zelenskyy's jacket was power stitched in black canvas. It let him walk into the Oval Office without playing dress-up for Trump. In a city obsessed with costumes, he reminded everyone that the man in the jacket, not the man in the tie, was the one fighting a real war.
