Jordon Hudson Breaks Silence on Miss Maine USA Pageant with Very Specific Taylor Swift Lyrics
On Monday, May 19, the former cheerleader, 24, posted a carousel of Instagram photos captured of her on stage at the two-day competition in Portland, Maine, where she was supported by boyfriend Bill Belichick, 73. Hudson shared images of her evening gown look — a sparkly violet dress decorated with a sash representing the town of Hancock — and her shimmery teal swimwear ensemble.
In one of the snaps, Hudson is seen accepting the pageant's style award while sporting the gold mini dress she wore during the event's opening number.
She didn't add any commentary in her caption and instead simply tagged the Maine Coast Fishermen's Association and the Maine Sea Grant page. Hudson did, however, add a musical accompaniment to her post, soundtracking the carousel to Taylor Swift's song "Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince."

Though Swift's 2019 track does make a mention of a "pageant smile" in an earlier verse, Hudson's music selection begins later in the song. "No cameras catch my muffled cries/I counted days, I counted miles/To see you there, to see you there/And now the storm is coming," Swift sings before launching into the chorus, which references rumors and skewed reputations: "They whisper in the hallway, 'She's a bad, bad girl.'"
The song, which was released on the 14-time Grammy winner's Lover album, nods to themes of school-age gossiping. Swift's perspective is notably unconcerned by the talk around her; instead, the singer focuses on a romance undeterred by criticism.
Considering recent press attention on Hudson and Belichick, the Miss Maine USA contestant — who competed in the pageant in 2024 as well, previously placing second — could be using the song to characterize her own situation.

Before their weekend in Portland, the couple caught criticism after their awkward CBS News appearance on April 27, prompting their relationship to become a regular subject of news headlines.
Another photo from Hudson's recent Instagram post shows her speaking into a microphone held by the emcee as she answered a question during the last round of judging. As she took center stage, she began by sending another pointed message seemingly about the scrutiny of her situation.
"I'm feeling an immense amount of pride right now," she said into the microphone. "I'm hoping that anybody who is watching this finds the strength to push through whatever it is that they're going through and embodies that hate never wins."

Jack White Responds to Trump Official Calling Him a 'Washed-Up, Has-Been Loser'
Jack White, February 2025 (John Nacion/Variety via Getty Images) Jack White is a longtime critic of President Donald J. Trump and his administration, and the musician has even taken legal action against the politician and his campaign. The latest chapter in the saga of White vs. White House came earlier this week when the White Stripes rocker insulted Trump's redecoration of the Oval Office, saying that it now looks like 'a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room.' The barb elicited a response from Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, who told The Daily Beast that White is 'a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.' Cheung further defended his boss' aesthetic choices, telling the outlet: 'It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'' The war of words continued yesterday (August 20), with White sharing a lengthy statement against Trump and his administration on Instagram. White criticized Trump's 'blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous 'wall' construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress,' and plenty more. He went on to use Cheung's words against Trump, writing that the president 'is masquerading as a human being,' and 'masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.' Several artists—including Margo Price and Michigander's Jason Singer—have supported White in the comments on his post. 'You hit a fuckin' nerve 'cuz they don't put out statements this length for earthquakes and shootings,' Patton Oswalt wrote. 'Keep going.' Cat Power's Chan Marshall added, 'LOVE YOU JACK❤️🔥.'

They stressed there is 'no full nudity or sexual acts performed' on her page, asserting that reports elsewhere misrepresented her content.

Also on her Instagram Stories, Vickery revealed her new dating policy, which includes a mandatory $1,000 pre-date deposit.

Lindsay Lohan Makeup-Free Selfies, Discourse
Like many other celebrities who have been in the public eye for quite some time, Lindsay Lohan has long found herself at the center of public speculation around her appearance. Last year, several people — including an aesthetic doctor — guessed that Lindsay had gotten a facelift, among other cosmetic procedures, after photos of the 39-year-old went viral. Lindsay — and her publicist — ended up addressing the talk about her appearance during a chat with Elle a few months back. Lindsay's publicist said, 'The problem is…the second she looks any different, they assume she had her face lifted at 37 or 38, that she ripped apart this or that. It's so mean.' Lindsay agreed, replying, 'I'm like, when? With what time? Where?' Lindsay also noted that she has previously tried a microneedling treatment, though she found her skin to be too 'thin' for it. She said, 'My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything. I did blood tests, and I was like, 'I want to know everything I'm allergic to.' So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me.' Fast forward to yesterday, and Lindsay has showcased her makeup-free skin by sharing a couple of fresh-faced selfies on Instagram. 'Fresh face and ready for bed!' she wrote alongside the pics. Immediately, people had a lot to say in the comments. Some fans begged Lindsay to 'drop the skincare routine,' praising her makeup-free appearance: However, other users weren't so impressed, suggesting that Lindsay had undergone more cosmetic treatments than she has shared. Let us know what you think in the comments.
