Scooter Braun addresses speculation that a Taylor Swift song is potentially about his ex-wife
Speaking on the Question Everything podcast, Braun said, ''Cause me and Yael talk every day. My ex-wife is one of my best friends. So, me and my ex-wife laugh at that stuff.'
The track from Swift's Midnights album contains pointed lyrics about revenge, infidelity, and divorce, prompting long-standing rumours it was a reference to Braun and Cohen's 2022 split.
'That's the mother of my children. That is my family for life,' Braun said, adding that he even has a tattoo reading 'same team' in honour of their continued co-parenting relationship.
Lines from the song include, 'She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some... Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride. Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife.' Braun simply replied, 'Great strategy move, but no.'
The rumour gained traction because of Braun's contentious history with Swift, including his 2019 acquisition of her master recordings.
Swift has since reclaimed ownership of her work, publicly celebrating the move and denying any involvement from Braun in the process.

Taylor Swift's silence speaks louder than Matt Healy's mom's outburst
Taylor Swift is choosing silence as her response but not without making a statement. After Denise Welch, mother of Swift's ex Matty Healy, publicly mocked their brief 2023 romance and took thinly veiled shots at her on television, many expected a fiery comeback from the pop star known for turning heartbreak into chart-toppers. But insiders say Taylor isn't giving Welch the satisfaction. 'She thinks it's beneath her,' a source close to Swift said. 'If Taylor ever responds, it'll be in a song, not in a headline.' During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Welch joked that she was 'glad to have lost the role' of being Swift's mother-in-law and complained that Swift could release an album about her son while others were gagged from speaking. The clip quickly went viral, sparking a storm of speculation over whether Swift would retaliate. Instead, she's doing what some say is even more powerful: absolutely nothing. According to reports, Swift has no plans to publicly comment, choosing instead to keep her focus on her relationship with Travis Kelce and her ongoing tour. But that hasn't stopped fans from going on the offensive. Welch's Instagram has been flooded with snake emojis, Swift lyrics, and warnings to 'stay quiet unless you want a whole sequel album.' Taylor's restraint appears calculated. Industry observers say she's aware that addressing Welch would only fan the flames and give unnecessary attention to someone outside her direct narrative. However, they caution that Swift's silence doesn't mean forgiveness. Her pattern of weaving personal slights into future music has fans convinced that Welch's comments may eventually resurface in lyrics. 'She's not ignoring it,' the insider added. 'She's saving it.'

Taylor Swift endorses Happy Gilmore 2 after Travis Kelce's hilarious cameo
Taylor Swift is raving about Happy Gilmore 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 golf comedy classic, starring Adam Sandler. The film, which dropped on Netflix July 25, features a surprise appearance by Swift's boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce — and the pop icon is calling it a must-watch. In an Instagram Story posted, Swift shared the film's poster and wrote, 'Happy Gilmore 2 had me cackling and cheering the whole movie! An absolute must-watch, 13/10, go watch it on @netflix as soon as humanly possible 🍯.' Kelce's cameo has quickly become a fan favorite. He plays a restaurant manager who bullies his subordinate Oscar, played by Bad Bunny. One of the most talked-about scenes is a surreal fantasy sequence where Bad Bunny smothers honey on a half-naked Kelce, tied to a post, before he's left to be devoured by a bear. Kelce also appears in another chaotic scene where he chest-bumps golfers Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa through a table. The movie endorsement came just one day after Kelce hard-launched their two-year relationship with a romantic Instagram photo dump, showing moments from their offseason together — including ice skating, boating, and karaoke nights. Although director Adam Sandler said they didn't want to 'bother Taylor' with a cameo offer, he called her a global gift: 'She's done a lot for our planet, so we love her.' With her 13/10 review, Swift has once again proven her influence — and her support for Kelce's big-screen debut.

Is Taylor Swift engaged? Travis Kelce's lock screen photo sends fans into a frenzy
Taylor Swift has once again sent the internet into a frenzy—this time over a possible engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce. Fans are speculating that the pop superstar might be engaged after a photo from Kelce's recent Instagram post hinted at a major relationship milestone. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end shared a carousel of pictures from the couple's offseason adventures—marking the first time Swift has appeared on his Instagram feed. While the series of images highlighted their close bond, one blurry snap caught eagle-eyed fans' attention. In the phone wallpaper image, Taylor appears to hold up her hand, possibly revealing a ring on her finger. Fans quickly began analyzing the photo, with comments like, "Is she pointing at her hand like she is… engaged?" and "I did zoom into his lockscreen." Adding fuel to the rumors, Swifties also noticed that Taylor's own phone lock screen appears to show a photo of the couple from their romantic Lake Como trip in May 2024. The couple, together for nearly two years, have reportedly received blessings from Swift's parents. Last month, speculation reached new heights when the pair was addressed as 'Taylor and Travis Kelce' on a wedding invitation—raising questions about whether they had already tied the knot. However, sources told TMZ that Taylor and Travis are not engaged, clarifying that Taylor is actually wearing Travis' three Super Bowl rings—not an engagement ring. While neither Swift nor Kelce has confirmed the engagement, fans remain convinced that the couple's love story is reaching the next level. Whether it's just a shared lock screen or something more, the Swiftie detective work is in full swing.
