Travis Kelce's Reaction to Taylor Swift Performing "Shake It Off" at His Concert Is So Sweet
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Taylor Swift just performed live for the first time in months! The Grammy winner is currently in Nashville to support Travis Kelce during TEU (Tight End University), and showed up with Travis at the Brooklyn Bowl for the Tight Ends & Friends concert—where she stepped on stage and sang her 2014 mega-hit "Shake It Off." "We would like to dedicate this to our favorite players who are going to play and these are the tight ends," Tay said, before launching into the song as the crowd lost their minds. Oh, and she was introduced by Kane Brown, who told the audience that he was bringing out a "really, really, really special guest" before Tay strolled on stage and said "Theoretically, how loud can we get?" Here's Travis's POV which is very sweet: ^ Psst: Taylor is wearing EB Denim's Polka Dress in vintage black, but it's sadly sold out. A source told People of the appearance, "Taylor surprised the crowd by joining Kane Brown onstage for 'Shake It Off.' The crowd lost their minds! At the end of her performance she made sure to thank the band and gave each one of them a hug." The insider also said that when Travis and Taylor arrived at the event "they made their way upstairs there they chatted with the TEU athletes and guests. Travis and Taylor stayed by each other's side all while chit chatting and catching up with everyone." FYI, if you're still confused about the Tight End University of it all, turns out TEU is a three day training program co-founded by Travis where—according to Complex— "attendees are able to bond, collaborate with, and learn amongst their peers while participating in a variety of activities including film study, on-field drills, recovery, rehabilitation, and more."

Arizona Diamondbacks fighting their way through a rash of injuries
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been snakebit all season. Injuries plagued the club in spring training and have continued to wreak havoc as the season reaches the midpoint, leaving manager Torey Lovullo searching for answers as he tries to cobble together a daily lineup. 'I have not seen anything like this,' Lovullo said from Chicago this week. 'Usually, you have a bad week or a bad month, or two guys in a 30-day period of time that will go down, but it's just been one after another. It's frustrating. I feel for the players. I feel for this team.' It's been painful. Left-hander Corbin Burnes, signed to a $210 million, six-year deal in January, lasted 11 starts before going down with a season-ending elbow injury. He followed fellow starter Jordan Montgomery and proceeded key reliever Justin Martinez in needing Tommy John surgery. Reliever A.J. Puk also needs elbow surgery, to repair his left ulnar collateral ligament, a procedure that could turn into Tommy John. Pitchers Tommy Henry, Blake Walston and Christian Montes de Oca also are out for the season. Catcher Gabriel Moreno has been out with a broken finger after being hit by a foul ball on June 15. Backup catcher Adrian Del Castillo has dealt with shoulder and back issues, spoiling his chance to move up from Triple-A Reno to replace Moreno. The hits kept coming this week. Arizona placed All Star outfielder Corbin Carroll on the injured list with a chip fracture in his left wrist before Tuesday's game against the White Sox, then watched infielder Ildemaro Vargas go down with a broken foot after being hit by a pitch in the second inning. Carroll has been out since being hit by a pitch on June 18. Third baseman Eugenio Suárez has been out of the lineup since being hit on the hand by a pitch on Monday. First baseman Josh Naylor also was injured on Monday, straining his right shoulder on an awkward swing, but returned to the lineup on Wednesday. 'It's part of the game, but we've taken on a lot, there's no denying that,' Lovullo said. 'A lot of teams have. I don't want anybody to feel sorry for us. But it's our turn to go out there and figure out how to get the job done, and that's where my main focus is right now.' The Diamondbacks have managed to keep their focus during the rash of injuries. With Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox, Arizona has won 10 of 14 to move back into the NL wild card picture. The Diamondbacks aren't out of the NL West race, either, entering Wednesday's game 2 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. 'We've just got to push through it,' Arizona outfielder Alek Thomas said. 'The vibe in the clubhouse, are still high. We still come every day to the field with our chin up and smiles on our faces.' Some of those smiles are more like grimaces, but the Diamondbacks have found a way to grit their way through. ___ AP MLB:

Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: The Pitt's DANA EVANS
Welcome to this week's installment of Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week, wherein we spotlight strong women and non-binary folks who inspire us. These characters are prime examples of empowerment and how crucial it is for youth to have said examples to follow. DISCLAIMER: The following contains spoilers for Max's The Pitt , particularly Dana Evans's arc. Dana Evans Fast Facts While we've only known Dana Evans (Katherine LaNasa) for one season, she is among the most loved characters on The Pitt . Her can-do attitude and the way she keeps the ER (and the doctors) running have made her stand out in a short amount of time. As charge nurse, she knows everything that's going on in the ER, how the doctors and nurses work, and how to keep things under control as much as possible in such a chaotic environment. She is everyone's go-to person. RELATED: Nautilus Sets Out With Humility in a Double-Decker Sneak Peek of Its Premiere Dana has been at the same hospital for several decades, familiar with its ins and outs. This makes her reliable, but also highlights why she might be tired of dealing with the chaos and stress associated with it. It is also she who gets attacked by an angry patient, pushing her to second-guess whether she wants to continue doing her job or not. At the end of the season, her future remains unknown as we watch her take down her photos from her station and walk out. The Real Deal Dana Evans is the one everyone turns to. For Robby (Noah Wyle), she is the biggest support system. Because she knows what that date means to him, she makes sure to check in on him as often as possible. Dana keeps him as sane as she can. RELATED: Outlander: Blood of My Blood Gets Season 2 Renewal at STARZ For new doctors, she's a reassuring voice. She encourages them in the work they are doing and helps them navigate chaos. For Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez), she is even a confessional on her crush on Mateo (Jalen Thomas Brooks). Why She Matters Without Dana, The Pitt wouldn't be the same. Everyone would be lost without her, and that includes the audience. She is a grounding force who made a mark in one short season. RELATED: On Location: The Vancouver Public Library Central Location on Fox's Fringe So be like Dana Evans. Do your job to the best of your ability. Check in on your friends when they need it. Work with as many Utahs as possible. Go for that smoke if you need it. And always be ready for the unexpected. The Pitt is available to stream on MAX. 5 Must-Watch MAX Documentaries By day, Lara Rosales (she/her) is a solo mom by choice and a bilingual writer with a BA in Latin-American Literature who works in PR. By night, she is a TV enjoyer who used to host a podcast (Cats, Milfs & Lesbian Things). You can find her work published on Tell-Tale TV, Eulalie Magazine, Collider, USA Wire, Mentors Collective, Instelite, Noodle, Dear Movies, Nicki Swift, and Flip Screened.
