Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance in New Video is Turning Heads
Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance in New Video is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Taylor Swift was out and about in New York City on Friday night. A new video of the "Fortnight" singer is currently making its rounds all over social media, and it has gotten all sorts of reactions from the fans. In the video, Swift is seen walking into a restaurant in NYC. Based on the geo-tagged location in the two-second clip, Swift appears to have entered the highly rated Italian restaurant Via Carota, which is located in the heart of Manhattan's West Village. Swift is seen wearing a strappy black floral dress that features a fitted bodice and a flowy skirt. The dress has a V-neckline and appears to be made of a lightweight material such as satin or silk. Despite Swift's brief appearance in the video, fans on social media still had a lot to say about her stylish look for the night out. "Gorgeous as always," a comment on X read. "OMMGGGGG!!! I need to see her dress, it looks so prettyyyyy," said another. "GORGEOUS," a user wrote. "SHE LOOKSS GOOODDD," declared a fan. "She looks gorgeous with her hair tied like that 😍" commented another. "She looks so pretty," a reaction read. It is worth noting that Swift was alone as she entered the restaurant. Missing by her side was her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who has been a consistent presence alongside the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter over the past couple of months. Kelce is currently with the Chiefs during the squad's three-day OTAs or Organized Team Activities. The Chiefs have a number of voluntary workouts coming up before their mandatory minicamp starts in mid-June, which only means that Kelce's schedule is going to start tightening up again soon. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Caitlin Clark's Taylor Swift Gesture Goes Viral After AMAs Disappointment
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Caitlin Clark's gesture to Taylor Swift has gone viral following the singer's disappointing American Music Awards. Newsweek reached out to Clark's representative via email for comment on Wednesday. The Context Clark plays for Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) team Indiana Fever. The 23-year-old is a fan of Swift and attended the billionaire pop star's Eras Tour in Indianapolis in November. Earlier this year, the pair were spotted together at a Kansas City Chiefs game, where they were seen hugging in the crowd. Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is a tight end for the Chiefs. On Monday, Swift, 35, was nominated in six categories at the American Music Awards (AMAs) including: Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, Collaboration of the Year (with Post Malone), Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Touring Artist and Favorite Pop Album. However, she did not win any of the fan-voted awards. Swifties—the word used to describe Swift's fandom—accused the awards show of muting her cheers during the Artist of the Year announcement. According to some, the ceremony was "rigged" and "manipulated." Left, Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever poses for a photo at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 1, 2024 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

More; Gareth Cattermole/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management To add to fans' disappointment, the "Fortnight" singer didn't drop a new album—which many thought she might do based on clues leading up to the event. Prior to the AMAs, eagle-eyed netizens pointed out that the words "Apparel, Music, Accessories and Sale" on Swift's website spelled out "AMAs." There were also 12 items on sale at 26 percent off, which some thought held significance. Fans are patiently waiting for her 12th album, and the AMAs took place on May 26. Then, "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)" was used in a recent episode of The Handmaid's Tale, though the hit song originally debuted in the 2023 television series Wilderness. What To Know On Tuesday, Indiana Fever took to Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, to share a photo and video of Clark wearing Swift's merch. The basketball star wore a black Eras Tour T-shirt with black pants and sneakers. "Caitlin Clark reppin' Taylor Swift," the WNBA team wrote. In the video, Clark appeared to say, "Taylor Swift, baby. Best shirt in the world." At the time of publication, the X posts had racked up 748,900 views and 223,500 views respectively. On Instagram, while no view count was listed, the post had 63,500 likes. Clark later reposted Indiana Fever's Instagram to her Instagram Stories. What People Are Saying In the comments underneath the posts on both X and Instagram, fans praised Clark's outfit. X user @invsiblestrn wrote: "I LOVE HER SM [SO MUCH]." @dorotheaTrack8 said: "She's the GOAT." Photographer Bri Lewerke posted via Instagram in a message with 317 likes: "With the Prada bag too? A fit @caitlinclark22." Instagram user @samanthakavander commented in a message with 173 likes: "My whole personality in one photo." @hometoswift shared in a note with 129 likes: "TAYLOR AND CAITLIN, THE QUEENIES OF THE WORLD!!!!!" @honeemel added in a reply with 35 likes: "Loving the Eras Tour merch on CC!! Smiled so BIG when I saw that." What Happens Next The Chiefs' schedule was recently released, and their first regular season game will take place on September 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Swift has largely kept a low-profile after wrapping up her Eras Tour in December, it's likely fans will catch a glimpse of the Pennsylvania native in the stands at Kelce's games soon.

Shake That Subpoena Off: Taylor Swift Probe Dropped By Justin Baldoni In Blake Lively Battle's Latest Twist
BREAKING ….Caught in the blast radius of multiple multi-million dollar lawsuits between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over accusations of sexual harassment and an online smear campaign, Taylor Swift can now shake off that pesky subpoena. In an unexpected move, the It Ends With Us star and director has withdrawn the paperwork seeking information from Swift about what she knew about what went down between her pal Lively and Wayfarer Studios co-founder Baldoni on the domestic violence themed film. Part of the reason the request was dropped was because details that the Bryan Freedman-represented Baldoni and crew sought were already provided, I hear. More from Deadline A Full Timeline Of Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni's 'It Ends With Us' Feud In Court, Online & In The Media Elisabeth Moss Clears Up Taylor Swift's 'Handmaid's Tale' Cameo Rumors: "God, I Love Them" From Wrexham To The Ice Rink: Edmonton Oilers Doc Series 'The Great Ones' Coming From Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort Having said that, reps for Baldoni, his Wayfarer Studios, its execs and publicists did not respond Thursday to request for comment on the withdrawal of the high-profile subpoena against the 'Fortnight' superstar and her lawyer J. Douglas Baldridge. Team Swift did respond, with a polite 'no comment.' Swift is a longtime friend to Lively and even the godmother to one of her and Ryan Reynolds' children. Even before news of more backlash from a previously served Swift subpoena leaked out on May 14, the IEWU soundtrack contributor had already made several cameos in various lawsuits and countersuits ever since Lively on December 20 filed her sexual harassment and retaliation complaint with California's Civil Rights Department. With all that, Baldoni's team may be mum today and Swift's people circumspect, but Lively's side certainly had something to say. 'We are pleased that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties have withdrawn their harassing subpoenas to Taylor Swift and her law firm,' a Lively spokesperson told Deadline this morning. 'We supported the efforts of Taylor's team to quash these inappropriate subpoenas directed to her counsel and we will continue to stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process,' they also noted. And of course, this being the Lively vs Baldoni case, there was always more to say. 'The Baldoni and Wayfarer team have tried to put Taylor Swift, a woman who has been an inspiration for tens of millions across the globe, at the center of this case since day one,' the Lively spokesperson said of their client's close close pal who has popped up in more than one filing or two since this all started with the Another Simple Favor actress' CRD complaint in late 2024. 'Exploiting Taylor Swift's celebrity was the original plan in Melissa Nathan's scenario planning document, and it continues to this day,' the statement adds, with a swipe at Baldoni's crisis management PR chief. 'Faced with having to justify themselves in federal court, they folded.' 'At some point they will run out of distractions from the actual claims of sexual harassment and retaliation they are facing.' With no settlement on the horizon and a vast cast of co-defendants and countersuits, Lively and Baldoni are set to face off in federal court on March 9, 2026. Last week saw a flurry of attorney accusations of strong-arming of Swift by Lively's side along with 'witness tampering and evidence spoliation,' plus protests by the Gossip Girl's crew of moves 'to launder scandalous and defamatory allegations about Ms. Lively and opposing counsel into the press.' It was a lot of thunder and not much lightning as Judge Lewis J. Liman reacted to a Lively team request and yanked the damning correspondence from Freedman and other Baldoni lawyers out of the court docket. 'The Letter is improper and must be stricken,' ordered Judge Liman in response to a motion by Lively's side filed mere hours after Freedman's letter. 'It is irrelevant to any issue before this Court and does not request any action from this Court,' he added, noting that Swift's Venables LLP counsel were fighting the subpoena in DC court. The reference by the Lively spokesperson Thursday to publicist Nathan, who along with ex-Jonesworks VP Jennifer Abel, directed Baldoni's public face, is noteworthy here, and clearly very personal. Lively and Deadpool star Reynolds' team have claimed that Nathan and Abel were the paid brains behind astroturfing social media effort to preemptively taint Lively before the actress went public with tales of her IEWU co-star's alleged misconduct. Both Nathan and Abel have denied those allegations, essentially stating they didn't need to attack Lively, the internet hated her all by itself. However, a mention of Swift in a Nathan/Abel planning document now in the court docket, can't be denied. 'As part of this, our team can also explore planting stories about the weaponization of feminism and how people in BL's circle like Taylor Swift, have been accused of utilizing these tactics to 'bully' into getting what they want,' Nathan wrote in August last year, around the time the Sony-distributed IEWU was released. With all the drama and stakes at play in what is a $400 million and growing legal action on many fronts, don't expect this withdrawal of a subpoena to be the last you hear of Ms. Swift in this matter. By a long shot.

Jason Kelce Doesn't Believe Travis When He Claims to Be Ignorant About This Taylor Swift Connection
Travis Kelce revisited his auction faux pas moment While on New Heights, the NFL star explained to his brother Jason how he came to bid on an item he already owned 'You realized it afterwards?' Jason asked, after Travis explained his mindsetTaylor Swift's guitar belongs to Travis Kelce — even if his brother Jason can't quite see. While on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, the siblings revisited last week's 15 and the Mahomies auction gala, where the Kansas City Chiefs star tried to buy the 'Fortnight' singer's autographed guitar. 'There's this clip of you helping a good cause by running up an auction price for a signed guitar,' Jason, 37, began — and which Travis, 35, quickly corrected. 'No, I put my paddle up because I wanted it and then I realized, 'Oh, I already have it. Oh, that was the guitar I have,' ' Travis said. But the retired Philadelphia Eagles center couldn't understand why his brother bid in the first place. 'You realized it afterwards?' Jason incredulously asked, to which Travis replied: 'You don't want to buy the same guitar twice.' Travis appeared at his friend and Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes' annual charity benefit on Thursday, May 15, where he was seated with the quarterback and his wife Brittany Mahomes. In video taken at the event, Swift was not seen. But footage from the gala caught the moment Travis made his mistake mid-bid.

'I just realized I have that already,' Kelce said and then took his seat at a table, as guests at the event roared with laughter. Last year, Swift, 35, and the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? host pulled up at the benefit, where they displayed PDA — and their generosity. The tight end appeared onstage during the auction and revealed that he and his 'significant other' had decided to put four of Swift's Eras Tour tickets up for bidding. 'Has anyone heard of the Eras Tour?,' he asked as guests in the room cheered. Read the original article on People

Neil Young Slams President Trump After ‘Out of Control' Bruce Springsteen & Taylor Swift Rants
Neil Young has had it with President Donald Trump, especially after the politician's recent digs at Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. In a post on his website Tuesday (May 20), the 'Heart of Gold' singer slammed Trump for being 'out of control' with his comments about the Boss and 'Fortnight' singer on Truth Social a few days prior. On the platform, the POTUS had called Springsteen 'highly overrated' and 'dumb as a rock,' while saying that Swift is 'no longer 'HOT.'' More from Billboard Musicians Donald Trump Has Insulted, From Taylor Swift to Snoop Dogg Saweetie Locks in Debut Australian Tour Dates French Police Recover Bust From Jim Morrison's Grave, 37 Years After It Was Stolen 'Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America,' Young wrote in response to the insults. 'You worry about that instead of the dyin' kids in Gaza. That's your problem. I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. You shut down FEMA when we needed it most. That's your problem Trump. STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made.' 'Taylor Swift is right. So is Bruce,' the Canadian-American musician continued, referencing the Eras headliner and 'Born in the U.S.A.' rock star's history of opposing Trump's policies. 'You know how I feel. You are more worried about yourself than AMERICA. Wake up Trump.' The post is far from the first time Young has criticized the president, calling Trump a 'disgrace to my country' in a scathing 2020 open letter and later speaking out about his fear of being barred from re-entering the United States after his tour on the president's orders. The 'Old Man' artist's latest takedown comes after Trump went on a roll with posts antagonizing musicians, starting with Swift on Friday (May 16). 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'' he wrote on Truth Social. He then turned his attention to Springsteen. Incensed by the E Street band leader's prior comments in Manchester about Trump's administration being 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,' the latter wrote of Springsteen on Truth Social, 'Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he's not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK.' But that was just the tip of the iceberg. A few days later, Trump returned to Truth Social to once again slam Springsteen, this time accusing him — as well as Beyoncé, Bono and Oprah Winfrey — of taking part in an 'illegal election scam' run by Kamala Harris. 'HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? … WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ?' he wrote at the time. 'I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter,' the president continued Monday. 'Candidates aren't allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.' There is no record of Harris paying money to any of the artists who endorsed her, and her campaign has denied doing so. That didn't stop Trump from perpetuating the unsubstantiated claim to the contrary through his posts, something Young sees as a distraction from what's really important. 'You are forgetting your real job,' Young concluded his post on his website Tuesday. 'You work for us. Wake up Republicans! This guy is out of control. We need a real president!!'
