Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce celebrates her milestone in sweet message
Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce has broken his silence on the 'Blank Space' hitmaker's news that she has finally regained control of the master recordings of her music Travis Kelce has been spotted revelling in Taylor Swift's triumph as she "finally" takes back control over her music catalogue. The 'Cruel Summer' songstress shared the much-anticipated news on Friday that she has officially reclaimed rights to her original anthems from albums such as ' Taylor Swift ', 'Fearless', 'Speak Now', 'Red', '1989', and 'Reputation'. Reacting to this, her beau who plays for the NFL couldn't help but give a jubilant "shout out" on his podcast. In a sneak peak for the newest instalment of 'New Heights', we see Travis beaming with joy as he grooves to Taylor's 'I Knew You Were Trouble', blaring from Shaquille O'Neal's phone speaker, alongside his brother Jason Kelce and their celebrated guest. Whilst Shaq lip-syncs, the Kelce brothers are seen nodding to the beat, and then Travis bursts into an excited display, throwing his hands up when the song hits "You found me/You found me." NBA icon Shaquille expressed his adoration for the tune, remarking: "That's my favourite song in the world, brother." Following a round of applause for their esteemed visitor, Travis exclaims: "Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back so it's finally hers, man, I appreciate that, dog. Love you big dog." Back in 2019, Taylor publicly voiced her outrage after industry mogul Scooter Braun took over her previous label, Big Machine Records, and along with it her treasured master recordings, which were later passed on to Shamrock Capital in 2020. This spurred Taylor to embark on re-recording journeys, leading to the release of 'Taylor's Versions' of her albums, including 'Fearless', 'Speak Now', 'Red', and '1989'. On Friday, the 35 year old songstress delighted her followers by announcing that she has successfully regained control over her music catalogue. In a heartfelt message on her official site she expressed: "I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. "All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis 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 then yanked away. But that's all in the past now." She continued, overwhelmed with happiness, "I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me. And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Taylor further stated that securing the rights to her music represents her "greatest dream come true" and she extended her gratitude towards Shamrock Capital for making this opportunity possible.

Where Blake Lively and Taylor Swift stand after pop star was subpoenaed in messy Justin Baldoni lawsuit: report
There's bad blood between Blake Lively and Taylor Swift amid the actress's lawsuit with Justin Baldoni. 'Their friendship has halted,' a Swift insider reportedly told People Thursday. 'Taylor wants no part in this drama.' A separate insider pushed back on the notion that their friendship has come to a hard stop, however, telling the outlet that while Swift, 35, and Lively, 37, are 'taking some space,' they are 'not no longer friends.' Page Six reached out to reps for Lively and Swift, but did not immediately hear back. Lawyers for Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios officially subpoenaed the 'Cruel Summer' songstress as a witness in Lively's sexual harassment case against her 'It Ends With Us' co-star on May 8. The trial is set to begin in March 2026, but Swift's legal team at Venable is fighting the subpoena. On Wednesday, news emerged that Baldoni's attorneys accused Blake Lively's lawyers of threatening to release alleged texts between the longtime pals if the 'Blank Space' singer refused to publicly support the actress in the continuing legal battle. In docs obtained by Page Six on Thursday, Baldoni's attorneys alleged the 'Another Simple Favor' star's attorney Michael Gottlieb of Willkie Farr issued the demand to Venable. According to the filing, they specifically alleged that Gottlieb 'demanded that Ms. Swift release a statement of support for Ms. Lively, intimating that, if Ms. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature in Ms. Lively's possession would be released.' The docs claimed that in the absence of compliance, the actress 'would release 'ten years' of private texts' between her and Swift. On Thursday, Page Six obtained documents further claiming that the mom of four asked Swift to 'delete their text messages' amid the bombshell case. Baldoni's lawyers also claimed a rep for the pop star 'addressed these inappropriate and apparently extortionate threats in at least one written communication transmitted to Mr. Gottlieb.' 'It is those communications that the Wayfarer parties seek to obtain by way of subpoena,' the docs continued. 'The [communications] would evidence an attempt to intimidate and coerce a percipient witness in this litigation.' In a statement to Page Six, Gottlieb 'unequivocally' denied the claims and slammed them as 'completely untethered from reality' and 'categorically false.' A judge subsequently ruled that the claims made by Baldoni and Wayfarer's teams are inadmissible in the case. A rep for the 'Don't Blame Me' singer, meanwhile, put Swift's subpoena on blast in a scathing statement to Page Six. 'Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film, she did not even see 'It Ends With Us' until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history,' the statement read. Lively apparently agrees, as her rep called Baldoni a 'bully' for his subpoena and stated that Baldoni and Wayfarer 'continue to turn a case of sexual harassment and retaliation into entertainment for the tabloids.' 'The defendants continue to publicly intimidate, bully, shame and attack women's rights and reputations,' Lively's rep said in part in a statement to Page Six on Saturday.
