Travis Kelce Breaks Silence on Taylor Swift's Major Personal Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Over the weekend, worldwide superstar singer and songwriter Taylor Swift announced on Instagram and in a letter on her website that she has officially regained ownership of all her masters—covering six albums she reportedly purchased for $360 million, according to Billboard.
While her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce, liked her post, he broke his silence on the news during an upcoming episode of his "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce.
A brief clip posted Tuesday night on the "New Heights" social media showed their latest guest, Shaquille O'Neal, playing a Swift song. The trio danced and lip-synced on camera, leading Travis to open up about Taylor's long, hard-fought journey to regain ownership of her music.
'Hold on, I gotta show you guys something...' O'Neal said, holding his phone up to the mic as he began playing Swift's hit song, 'I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor's Version).'
As the three sang and danced along, O'Neal added after the music ended, 'That's my favorite song in the world, brotha, I love it.'
Travis then chimed in, 'Shout out to Tay Tay. She just got that song back too—bought all her music back, so it's finally hers again. Man, I appreciate that, dog.'

Since her announcement on Friday that she purchased her masters and regained ownership, Taylor Swift's music has been trending up the charts, with her catalog placing inside the Top 100 on iTunes.
For the third straight day on Tuesday, she held the No. 1 spot on the global Spotify chart, overtaking Spanish artist Bad Bunny, who had held the position for over four months.
The craziest part? Swift hasn't released any new music in 2025 and has remained relatively low-key after wrapping up her record-breaking "Eras Tour" last December, which featured 149 shows spanning nearly two years.This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Grey list for Moscow: EU plans to make transactions with Russia more difficult
The European Commission is considering adding Russia to its "grey list" of countries with inadequate money laundering controls. Source: Financial Times Details: The decision could have been announced as early as this week, but the European Commission postponed its approval at the last minute for "administrative/procedural reasons". The document is expected to be updated early next week. The addition of a country onto the list entails reputational losses and additional checks by financial institutions when processing transactions related to the relevant jurisdiction. This increases costs and complicates international cooperation. Typically, the EU's grey list is based on the one compiled by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a global money laundering watchdog. Although Russia's membership in the FATF was suspended a year after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a number of countries are still blocking its inclusion on the FATF list itself. The previous version of the EU list, seen by the FT, included Algeria, Angola, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, Laos, Lebanon, Monaco, Namibia, Nepal, and Venezuela. The exclusions of Barbados, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Panama, Senegal, Uganda and the UAE were also planned. However, the vote did not take place: the Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals opposed the exclusion of the UAE, and the Spanish conservatives opposed lifting oversight of Gibraltar. MEPs say that the inclusion of Russia on the list could help to pass the document as a whole. The European Parliament can only support or reject the list in its entirety, without amendments. Meanwhile, the UAE authorities say that the issue of money laundering should not affect trade negotiations with the EU, which began in May. Brussels is under pressure as the UAE has an 18-month deadline to complete the negotiations. Spain, in turn, insists on keeping Gibraltar on the "grey list" to strengthen its position in negotiations with the UK over the territory's post-Brexit status. Background: At the FATF's meeting on 21-25 October, they upheld their decision to suspend Russia's membership in the organisation. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Lil Wayne Debuts At No. 1 With His First New Album In Half A Decade
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI debuts at No. 1 on iTunes, with 'Sharks," featuring Big Sean and Jelly ... More Roll, emerging as a quick fan favorite tune. BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA - MAY 03: Lil Wayne performs onstage at Legacy Arena at the BJCC on May 03, 2025 in Birmingham, Alabama. (Photo by) Lil Wayne has returned! The superstar rapper is back with the sixth installment in his Tha Carter series, which has proved to be one of the most successful in hip-hop history. While he didn't promote the set via the traditional path with multiple early singles, it appears that Wayne's popularity may be enough to power him to another bestseller, as Americans have quickly responded to the release of Tha Carter VI and turned it into a chart-topper. Tha Carter VI currently rules the iTunes Top Albums chart in the United States. The full-length leads during a packed frame of exciting new releases, as this Friday (June 6), includes drops from stars across genres — but none of them can quite compete with Wayne at the moment. The biggest competition facing Tha Carter VI is not something new. In fact, it's an album that was released more than a quarter century ago. Millennium by Backstreet Boys bolts up the iTunes Top Albums ranking and currently lands in the runner-up spot. Wayne and Backstreet Boys push recent champions I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen and Reputation by Taylor Swift down a few pegs, and they land at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. The top 10 on the iTunes Top Albums chart features half a dozen new arrivals as of the time of writing, with Tha Carter VI leading them all. Just a few spaces further down the list, new drops from Enhypen, Addison Rae, Marina, Turnstile, and Volbeat all manage to find space inside the uppermost region. None of them can compete with Wayne's first solo full-length since 2020's Funeral, which earned him another No. 1 on the Billboard 200. As Tha Carter VI gets going, one of its predecessors returns and becomes a bestseller again. Tha Carter III, which is widely regarded as the best of these half-dozen releases — and perhaps Wayne's most celebrated full-length — currently sits at No. 60 on the iTunes Top Albums chart. No major singles were pushed from Tha Carter VI before its release, but a favorite track has quickly been identified by fans. "Sharks," which features both Big Sean and Jelly Roll is the only tune by Wayne to appear on the iTunes Top Songs tally, and it's off to a fairly slow start. The track currently appears at No. 186, but it will likely rise in the coming hours and days. Tha Carter VI features 19 songs and a handful of somewhat surprising collaborations. While it's not shocking to see other hip-hop artists like 2 Chainz, Sean, and Kodak Black on the project, U2's Bono and even Andrea Bocelli are also officially credited. The Irish rocker lent his songwriting skills and voice to "The Days," while the Italian crooner appears in the background on "Maria," as he sings "Ave Maria" while Wyclef Jean and Wayne take turns performing.
