11 Things We've Tried And Loved This Month June '25

A cuticle oil pen that will have your nails shining brighter than the sun — so warn everyone around you not to stare at them directly. Ok, maybe not that bright, but your nails will look fresh-from-the-salon shiny and the argan, coconut, and sunflower seed oils will add some moisture. It even comes in a ridiculously cute and convenient keychain tube so you can touch up your mani on the go.
A portable Thermacell mosquito repellent device, which is bound to become your new summer BFF. No seriously, you might start planning road trips and rosé nights together. Just pop in one of the repellent cartridges, power it on, then kick back as it repels mosquitoes up to 20 feet away. The best part? The battery is rechargeable, so you can carry this around with you everywhere.
John Frieda's Secret Weapon Touch Up Creme — finding a leave-in you can use on fully dried hair is surprisingly tricky, but this one is designed specifically for that! It's super easy to spread through and softens hair enough to re-style without looking overly wet. Oh, and you'll also get a touch of moisture thanks to the lightweight avocado oil.
A kid-size Away carry-on in playful colorways that'll have you thinking, "do they make these in adult sizes?!" This compact yet spacious carry-on has a super durable outer shell and tons of room on the inside for some extra outfits, which you'll be eternally grateful you packed when they inevitably spill their entire cup of apple juice at some point.
Lush's Rose Jam Perfume and Shower Gel that even the most passionate rose haters will be tempted by. This is NOT your typical rose scent — it pairs the classic floral fragrance with sweet vanilla and a zesty touch of lemon. The result? An unexpectedly sweet, playful rose fragrance that's about to become your new "jam." Start with the shower gel (bonus: your entire bathroom will smell like it after you use it), then layer the perfume and prepare for the onslaught of "what are you wearing?!" coming your way.
Conair's The Knot Dr. smoothing dryer brush — a multitasking miracle that combines a paddle-style hairbrush with a blow-dryer. It has two heat settings (and a "cool" option), and you can even snap the brush head off and use it as a normal blow-dryer before you get to styling.
A shapewear bodysuit that proves you don't have to give up comfort if you like to wear shapewear. The smoothing, seamless design is made with a super soft mix of nylon and spandex that's so comfy, you won't daydream about taking it off at the end of the day. It also has built-in support and removable cups at the bust, so you can wave goodbye to that way-too-thick-for-summer bra you always regret wearing.
A Taylor Swift–inspired JavaSok — the perfect companion for your Caffeinated Era. The thermal insulation helps to keep your drink colder for longer, which will come in handy when you forget about it while scouring the JavaSok's pattern for clues about when "Getaway Car (Taylor's Version)" will finally bless our ears.
A pack of delightfully chewy Blobs sour gummies that are equal parts tart and sweet, and will take you back to your childhood days of devouring an entire box of Scooby Doo fruit snacks (those matte blue ones were ELITE). The sour pack comes with flavors like strawberry-yuzu, watermelon-lychee, and black raspberry-cherry — so this is basically a "Greatest Fruits of All Time" convention.
Poems of Parenting — this will instantly cheer you up on those days when parenthood feels comically difficult. It's filled with cheeky poems by Loryn Brantz that tackle everything from bedtime struggles to the joys of baby snuggles.
The Roc Vitamin C Eye Balm, a TikTok-viral product that definitely lives up to the hype. This super convenient serum-in-a-stick is designed to be swiped directly on the under-eye to provide an instant cooling effect. The vitamin C can help brighten the appearance of dark circles over time, while the inclusion of peptides helps to firm and tighten.

Taylor Swift announces she bought back her masters with heartfelt letter to fans: ‘Bursting into tears'

Taylor Swift has bought back her masters! A week after Page Six exclusively revealed that buying back her masters was a possibility, the singer announced the news Friday with a lengthy message on her official website. 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow,' she began her note, which was formatted like a handwritten letter. 'A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. 'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words. 'All of the music I've ever made … now belongs… to me.' Swift went on to reiterate that her entire catalog — which consists of music videos, concert films, album art and photography, unreleased songs, plus 'the memories, the magic, the madness, every single era, [her] entire life's work' — belongs to 2019, record executive Scooter Braun bought the rights to her first six albums — 'Taylor Swift,' 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation' — for $300 million (allegedly without her approval) before they were acquired by the investment firm Shamrock Capital a year later. In 2018, however, Swift signed a new deal with Universal Music Group and Republic Records, where she recorded and owns the masters of 'Lover,' 'Folklore,' 'Evermore,' 'Midnights' and 'The Tortured Poets Department.' The 'Lover' songstress went on to explain in her letter that her music was so important to her and to her fans that she 'meticulously re-recorded and released' four of her albums, which she called 'Taylor's Version.' 'The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music,' she noted. 'I can't thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now.' She went on to thank Shamrock Capital for 'being the first people' to offer her the chance to buy back her masters. 'They really saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams,' she said before joking that her first tattoo might be a 'huge shamrock in the middle of my forehead.' The Grammy award winner then addressed Swifties' incessant theories that she would soon announce 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)', admitting, 'I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it.' She explained that she couldn't seem to get in the zone because the album was 'so specific to that time in my life,' where she longed 'to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood.' 'To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it […] so I kept putting it off.' However, she promised that fans would get to listen to the unreleased vault tracks when the time is right and if they 'are into the idea.' On the other hand, she confessed to having re-recorded her debut album, 'Taylor Swift,' and she 'really [loves] how it sounds now.' 'Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about. But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now.' Additionally, Swift addressed how other celebrities have been inspired to 'negotiate to own their master recordings in their record contract.' 'Because of this fight, I'm reminded of how important it was for all of this to happen,' she said before thanking her fellow artists for making the conversation into a 'broad discussion.' 'You'll never know how much it means to me that you cared. Every single bit of it counted and ended us up here.' An 'elated and amazed' Swift concluded her emotional letter by quoting her song 'Mine,' 'The best things that have ever been mine … finally actually are.' The songwriter also broke her social media silence to celebrate the win by sharing photos of her sitting with her first six original albums fanned around her. 'You belong with me,' she captioned the post, quoting her famous 2008 song. Swift's announcement comes a little over a week after sources told Page Six that she finally had a chance to buy back the original recordings of her first six albums. And the deal was backed by none other than Braun himself, whom Swift had previously dubbed a 'bully' and the 'definition of toxic male privilege' in the music industry. 'Interestingly enough, one of the individuals who is encouraging this deal to take place is Scooter, who was at the center of the deal the first time around alongside Big Machine,' said a source, referencing Swift's original record label. We estimated, at the time, that the price tag for her masters would be anywhere between $600 million and $1 billion, according to Clayton Durant, founder of the music consulting firm CAD Management. 'If she could claw back and create a deal structure where she could get the rights to her original recordings, she exponentially increases the amount of money she makes,' Durant told Page Six. 'She's making money off the publishing still from the [original] songs,' but not as much as from the Taylor's Versions, he said. He also noted, 'When she puts out a re-recording version, consumption also spikes on the original.' Following the re-recording of her albums, plus her years-long Eras Tour, Swift became a billionaire in early 2024. Just last night, Swift was spotted dressed to the nines as she went out to dinner in New York City with Dakota Johnson. However, missing from their outing was Travis Kelce, whom the singer has been dating for almost two years.

Taylor Swift's Albums Return To The Charts — And A Surge Is Coming

On Friday (May 30), Taylor Swift announced to the world that she has finally purchased the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums. The news was heralded as a triumph for the singer-songwriter, who has long been engaged in a public spat with various companies — and most notably supermanager Scooter Braun — to gain control over the work that made her a global superstar. Even before her revelation, Swift's catalog was growing in popularity thanks to anticipation surrounding a project that may never see the light of day — one fans have been eager to hear. The musician was expected to announce Reputation (Taylor's Version) at the American Music Awards – at least according to Swifties – but that didn't come to pass. Still, the mere thought of her giving the project a street date was enough to help several of her collections climb the Billboard charts. This week, multiple Swift projects return to different rankings as interest in her work grows yet again. Two of Swift's full-lengths reappear on Billboard rankings in the United States. While the pair of titles don't experience any crossover success, consumption grew enough to bring them back to the lower reaches of one tally apiece. The higher-ranking of the two is Lover, which finds its way back to the Top Streaming Albums chart. That tally, which ranks only the studio efforts that collect the most plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others, sees the 2019 pure pop set reenter at No. 48. Fearless (Taylor's Version) is a winner once again on the Top Country Albums chart. The re-recorded and re-released take on Fearless lands in last place, at No. 50, on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed country-only efforts in the nation. Lover also finds space on the Billboard 200, where it ranks as Swift's second-highest rising at the moment title out of seven placements. Fearless (Taylor's Version), which previously conquered that ranking, doesn't manage to perform well enough to earn a spot on the tally this time. Nine of Swift's albums appear on at least one Billboard chart this week. Seven of them live on the Billboard 200, a handful place on the Top Country Albums ranking, and just one also finds space on both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums tallies. Multiple collections performed well enough to live on the Top Streaming Albums roster. Next week will likely be huge for the singer-songwriter, as sales and streams of all six of her earliest works have skyrocketed in the days following her major announcement.

Travis Kelce boogying to a Taylor Swift song became the perfect meme

Travis Kelce boogying to a Taylor Swift song became the perfect meme * refused to answer what their fav taylor swift song was meanwhile travis: — ariana ♫ (@tscrazier) June 4, 2025 It's been a huge few days for Taylor Swift, who announced she had bought back her masters last week, giving her full control of her own music once again after paying a staggering price. And as you'd hopefully expect, her boyfriend Travis Kelce has been supportive. He hit the "like" button on her Instagram post about the big news, and on Wednesday, he talked about it on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce as well as guest star Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq played I Knew You Were Trouble during his appearance to celebrate the news, and the cameras caught Travis doing the best dance to the song sung by his girlfriend. Of course, this became a meme right away, as these things tend to do: Taylor wrote "I know my love should be celebrated" and Travis said bet — Andrea (@flowersshaze) June 4, 2025 Travis dancing to I knew you were trouble. This number 1 swiftie and now Red stan — Elam (@bigelam) June 4, 2025 you could never make me hate him — dani 💋✨ (@dani_readyforit) June 4, 2025 Oh heck yes. This is almost as good as that time Kelce stepped on stage to carry Taylor Swift out for The Eras Tour in London. So here's what I'm asking for next time Swift does a tour -- which should be a very, very long time given that she just finished a bajillion shows around the world. Get Kelce on stage to do a choreographed dance to this song. We seriously need that in our lives.
