Travis Kelce Quietly Approves Of Taylor Swift Buying Back Her Masters

Singer Taylor Swift has some good news to share, and Travis Kelce is right there to help her enjoy every moment of it! The "Cruel Summer" singer revealed on Friday, May 30, that she had finally bought back the rights to her music catalog after Scooter Braun picked up her masters in 2019. After several years, Swift revealed that Shamrock Capital had finally agreed to give her back the rights to her music with "no strings attached." Over five million people liked Taylor Swift's announcement within three hours of her post, and the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end was one of them, once again showing his support for his girlfriend. Comments were disabled on the post, but fans were quick to celebrate on social media platforms like X, the website formerly known as Twitter, and Reddit. 'You belong with me,' she wrote in the caption along with heart emojis of various colors. Photos showed Swift sitting on the floor, dressed in a blue shirt and jeans, with her albums spread around her to celebrate the fact that her music is, once again, hers. Following her announcement, Swift's first name, 'taylor,' started trending online along with 'Rep TV' and '1989 TV.' One of her songs, 'Better Than Revenge,' was also trending, along with 'Debut TV' and 'Swiftie.' Although 'Fearless (Taylor's Version),' 'Red (Taylor's Version),' "Speak Now (Taylor's Version),' and '1989 (Taylor's Version),' have already been released, fans are concerned that she might never release 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' after a shocking revelation she made in her lengthy letter. In her lengthy letter, the 'Love Story' singer revealed that although she has completed re-recording her debut album, the same can't be said for 'Reputation (Taylor's Version),' which would be the last album to be released. 'Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it,' she revealed. 'All that defiance, that longing, to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief.' 'To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it,' she continued. 'Not the music, or photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off. There will be a time (if you're into the idea) for the unreleased Vault tracks from that album to watch.' However, there is good news for fans who are looking forward to the release of her debut album, as she revealed that it is already finished. Although she admitted that she loves how it sounds, she did not hint at a release date for the new music. 'I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now,' she wrote. 'Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about.' 'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have,' she added. 'It will just be a celebration now.' Although Scooter Braun told The Hollywood Reporter that he is 'happy for her,' he had no part to play in this recent development, despite recent reports. One insider told PEOPLE magazine on Friday that he did not 'encourage' the sale in any way. 'Contrary to a previous false report, there was no outside party who 'encouraged' this sale. All rightful credit for this opportunity should go to the partners at Shamrock Capital and Taylor's Nashville-based management team only,' the insider shared. 'Taylor now owns all of her music, and this moment finally happened in spite of Scooter Braun, not because of him.' Instead, the "Karma" singer clearly thanked Shamrock Capital for giving her the opportunity to own her music once more in her letter. 'All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright with no strings attached, no partnership, with full autonomy,' she wrote. 'I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me.' She went on to say, 'This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: my memory and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams. I am endlessly thankful."

KC teen getting life back on track was killed a month ago. His family wants answers

Reality Check is a Star series holding those with power to account and shining a light on their decisions. Have a suggestion for a future story? Email our journalists at RealityCheck@ Have the latest Reality Checks delivered to your inbox with our free newsletter. A month after the death of 17-year-old Charles Sanders, who was shot in the front yard of a home in Kansas City's Northland, his family has grown frustrated with the police investigation. They say Kansas City police have told them investigators have a suspect and a warrant for that person's arrest. But still, no one has been taken into custody. Charles was shot and killed on April 23 in North Brook, a Northland neighborhood. Kansas City police responded to the 7800 block of Northeast 75th Court around 2:15 p.m., according to police spokesperson Capt. Jake Becchina. Initial information in the investigation indicated an altercation between at least two people led to the shooting, Becchina said. At the scene, officers discovered a young man, whom they believed at the time could have been a teenager, unresponsive and with gunshot wounds in the front yard of a home. The shooting victim, who police identified as Charles Sanders two days later, was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Since the shooting, his mother, Heather Sanders, said she has had minimal contact with the detectives working the case, and is fed up with what she sees as a lack of action. 'They tell me that they have a suspect and a warrant. But why hasn't an arrest been made yet?' Sanders told The Star. KCPD police spokesperson Alayna Gonzalez told The Star that detectives 'have made great headway in identifying a possible suspect and the investigation is still very much ongoing.' The day of Charles' death was a roller coaster of emotions for his family. A Liberty police officer visited the Sanders home, asking about a burgundy Dodge Ram truck that Charles drove, Heather Sanders said. The truck was found abandoned on the side of the road, according to the officer, and Sanders left work to go pick up the truck with Charles' sister. Sanders and her daughter, Alyssa, tracked Charles' last known GPS location on his phone. 'We pull up and it's a crime scene,' Sanders said. At the scene, officers only told them a person was shot and later died, although they asked her if Charles had enemies, among other questions. They wouldn't give Sanders any information about her son's status, she said, which confused her. After returning home, the family received a call from Liberty Hospital, telling them that they had 10 minutes to come to the hospital to see Charles. On the way there, Sanders received another call saying a detective wouldn't allow them to see her son after all. The family arrived at the hospital, and Sanders told the detective they would meet investigators there. After anxiously waiting for almost three hours without being able to see Charles, the family went home, feeling certain that Charles had already died, Sanders said. Authorities didn't officially identify Charles for two days. 'I knew it was him the whole time,' Sanders said. 'He didn't come home. The truck was up there. His location was there. I don't know why they waited.' Charles was not positively identified at the scene, police spokesperson Sgt. Phil DiMartino told The Star in an email. Since Charles was taken to a hospital and died there, the responsibility of identification is placed on the respective medical examiner's office, DiMartino said. This responsibility would be on the Clay County Medical Examiner's Office in this case. Detectives waited until the examiner could confirm the victim's identity, DiMartino said. 'Detectives will make every effort to identify a victim on scene,' DiMartino said. 'Investigators understand the sensitive nature and gravity of these situations so they always aim for expedience without sacrificing accuracy.' Sanders believes her son went to the neighborhood to see friends. But he never returned home. Instead, he was shot and killed in a neighborhood just 3 miles from his Liberty home. Sanders believes her son was killed for money. She said Charles told his sister, Alyssa, he was taking money out of his bank account, and he withdrew $620. Two days after his death, the family got the truck back. Charles' wallet was sitting in the front seat with $20 inside, Sanders said. 'He was killed for $600,' she said. DiMartino would not confirm this detail, saying it's part of the ongoing investigation. An arrest is what the family is hoping for, but they acknowledge it may not help them cope with losing their eccentric, sociable teen who was preparing for the next phase of his life. Charles was able to connect with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, and was a natural leader, loved ones said. But now, he won't be able to achieve any of the goals he was aiming for just before his death. 'It should have never happened,' Sanders said, tears streaming down her face. At the time of his death, Charles was turning over a new leaf in life, according to his family. He had an outgoing personality that attracted many friends, family members said. But after the loss of his father three years ago to heart problems, loved ones said he couldn't control his emotions and began spending time with the wrong crowd. 'Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, sometimes, stuff like that,' Charles' oldest sister, Jada, said. His uncontrollable emotions led to misbehavior at Liberty High School, and Charles was moved to the Department of Youth Services in a residential treatment program to correct his behavior. Liberty Public School District confirmed Charles was a student until last February. Sanders said her son spent approximately nine months in the program before he came home and graduated in January through the Alternative Resource Center. The program allowed Charles to work through his emotions, Sanders said, including writing down what he was thinking and feeling. Some notes he read to his family. 'Every time we would go and see him, he would share stuff that he wrote about, like things that happened in his life and how it affected him,' Sanders said. 'A lot of it was for his dad. So it was a lot of therapy kind of stuff with his dad, trying to work through his feelings … to learn how to cope with it.' After Charles finished the program, he was more driven and focused and avoided hanging with the wrong crowd, loved ones said. He worked at a local Chipotle with his sister, Alyssa, and was pondering whether to go to college to be a child therapist to help other kids or join the military. 'He definitely set himself goals, and he was trying to reach them,' Sanders said. Family members were happy to see him working toward his goals because he had a light that brought people together, they said. Charles, affectionately known as Chucky, was described as a goofy class clown who never met a stranger. His sisters, with whom he had a strong bond, have memories of him cracking jokes with everyone. As a kid, Charles played multiple sports like soccer, baseball, and wrestling, and was a Boy Scout. His sister, Jada, recalls a childhood summer when they filled the back of their uncle's truck with water and swam. Other kids saw his fun qualities as well, and the family has received an outpouring of support since his death. 'When you looked around the funeral, it was like you could almost see the different stages of his life and all the groups of people that he touched,' Sanders' partner, Ross Gardner, said. A week after Charles' death, racist and antisemitic flyers were seen in Northland neighborhoods off Shoal Creek. The flyers were the talk of the neighborhood where Charles was shot in the days after his death, but authorities haven't said they are connected or that race played a role in the shooting. Parents in North Brook and surrounding neighborhoods responded by posting their own anti-hate flyers and drawing hearts on sidewalks. Family members didn't see the signs because they avoided the neighborhood altogether, but say they've received support from North Brook residents, who even had a cotton candy fundraiser for the family. Still, the Sanders family doesn't understand why no arrest has been made. Authorities told Sanders they have a strong case against the person believed to have killed her son, and a warrant has been issued. But even if an arrest is made soon, it won't help resolve the family's feelings of anger, resentment, and sorrow. 'You're sitting here and you're mad because you want an arrest made, but I'm also telling myself, it's not gonna make me feel any different. I'm still gonna be upset about it,' Sanders said. Charles' oldest sister fears her brother's killer could be someone she knows. 'Those kids in that neighborhood go to Liberty public schools,' Jada Sanders said. 'What if I know them? What if I went to school with them, or they knew my friends?' Sanders has been contacting detectives once a week, but said she'll increase that if time continues to pass without an arrest. Until then, the family waits and lives with their memories of Charles, or Chucky, or Darles as other loved ones knew him, knowing life will never be the same again. 'We will all carry on, be successful. Gotta live, gotta make a living,' Gardner said. 'But nothing will ever be normal here again.'

Aaron Judge, overlooked? Some early judgments on the 2025 baseball season after two months.

He leads the majors in bWAR, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and has a 1.339 OPS with runners in scoring position. Judge also is the clubhouse leader of a team that shrugged off the Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Best pitcher: It's a healthy debate between Max Fried of the Yankees and Tigers ace Tarik Skubal . The choice is Fried based on the consistency. He hadn't allowed more than two earned runs in a start until Friday against the Dodgers, and the Yankees are 10-2 when he pitches. Advertisement Skubal has struck out 92 against only seven walks, but was knocked around a bit by the Dodgers Top team: The Dodgers don't have the best record, but their season feels like a series of dress rehearsals until they put the exact team they want on the field in September. Advertisement To that point, they just traded for deposed Reds closer Alexis Díaz . The 28-year-old has lost velocity and seen his strikeout rate plummet, but Díaz has options and the Dodgers can stash him at their complex in Arizona and work on fixing those issues. If it works, maybe he's getting big outs in the eighth inning in the playoffs. If it doesn't, they're out $6.2 million counting luxury tax overages. For the Dodgers, it's all about the end game. Rough start: Roki Sasaki had a 4.72 ERA in eight starts before landing on the injured list with what the Dodgers said was a shoulder impingement. The 23-year-old righthander from Japan was Sasaki averaged 96 miles per hour with his four-seam fastball, well off the triple digits that were expected. Sasaki also gave the Dodgers only 34⅓ innings in those eight starts. Maturity, physical and otherwise, is an issue. Life beyond Boston: That Nate Eovaldi has a 3.33 ERA in 66 starts for Texas isn't a good look for the Red Sox considering The Padres also seem to have unlocked something in There's some batted-ball luck involved and Petco Park is better for him than Fenway, but Pivetta also has benefited from increasing the use of his curveball and cutting back on the sweeper. Trade value: Sandy Alcantara's 8.47 ERA through 11 starts isn't helping the Marlins trade him, but that could be attributed to his missing last season after Tommy John surgery. Teams will still be after him. Advertisement The same may not be true for White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. , who has a .632 OPS going back to last season. Kansas City's pitching: Lefty Kris Bubic , a first-round pick in 2018, has emerged as an ace with a 1.45 ERA through 11 starts. Another lefty, Noah Cameron , allowed three earned runs over 25⅔ innings in his first four starts. The issue for Kansas City is scoring. They're a team that could be active in the trade market to balance the roster. Washington monument: James Wood was one of the four players His .964 OPS was fifth in the National League going into the weekend. Another product of that trade, center fielder Robert Hassell III , made his debut May 22. The Soto shuffle: Soto seems to be following the A .755 OPS is well above the league average, but Soto arrived in Queens with a career .953 OPS. His bat speed is down a bit but Soto is only 26, so it's not some physical decline. It's easy to suggest Soto will be fine and that probably will be the case, but he's now the focal point of a prominent team, not just one of the guys. He had buffers with the Nationals, Padres, and Yankees. Not any more. Advertisement Brennan Bernardino (above) and Greg Weissert each appeared in 25 of Boston's first 58 games, one more than Aroldis Chapman and Justin Slaten. Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff Everyday Bernie Bernardino always on call for Sox Brennan Bernardino made 112 appearances for the Red Sox from 2023-24 and pitched in 25 of the first 58 games this season. The 33-year-old lefthander recently appeared seven times in a span of 10 games and allowed one run on two hits over 6 innings while throwing 59 of 93 pitches for strikes. How does a pitcher do that? 'For me, it's not wasting pitches,' Bernardino said. 'I try to save my bullets, even when I'm just playing catch because those throws add up over time.' Bernardino also has condensed his warm-up routine to six or seven pitches at times. 'I prefer to throw more than that, but I can be ready after maybe six,' he said. 'A few heaters and a breaking ball and I'm ready to go.' Bernardino averages a modest 91 miles per hour with his two-seam fastball, and his 7.7 strikeouts per nine innings are the lowest of his career. But opposing hitters are 8 for 58 (.138) against his curveball, changeup, and cutter. 'Mix pitches, keep the hitter off-balance, and play the game of baseball,' Bernardino said. 'I don't try to complicate it too much.' Bernardino has learned a few tips from watching 'One of the hardest workers I have ever seen,' he said. 'To be 37 and throwing as hard as he does and as well as he does, it's amazing. He's strong and flexible. He's very routine-oriented.' A few other observations on the Red Sox: ⋅ Current Red Sox ownership has yet to fire a manager during the season. Bobby Valentine all but burned the place down in 2012 and the Sox waited until the day after the season Advertisement They Ceddanne Rafaela's defense is outstanding, but his approach at the plate is anything but. Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff ⋅ Maybe the Sox should start waiting more than a few games before giving prospects long-term contracts. Ceddanne Rafaela is an excellent defensive outfielder, but he has a .650 OPS since he agreed to His idea of a good pitch to swing at is one that doesn't bounce. Craig Breslow called Rafaela a 'cornerstone' at the time. He might be a bench player once Roman Anthony takes over an outfield spot. Related : Kristian Campbell hadn't even played his first series in the majors before the Sox gave him Campbell had a terrific April, then was Brayan Bello didn't get Until proved otherwise, he's no better than a No. 4 starter on a contending team. ⋅ Garrett Crochet has allowed two home runs on the first pitch he has thrown in a game this season. One was Advertisement Crochet starts every game with a fastball and has been ambushed twice. The Sox lost both of those games by one run. 'First pitch of the game, I'm going to throw a fastball. Everybody knows that. I'm never not going to do that,' Crochet said. 'The guy next game could clip me on another first-pitch heater, and I'd be OK with that.' Everybody knows that and you'll keep doing it? And you're OK if you give up more leadoff home runs? Ronald Acuña Jr. , Oneil Cruz , Shohei Ohtani , and Fernando Tatis Jr. are among the leadoff hitters Crochet could face this season. The matchup with Acuña could come on Sunday. Just a thought: Grooving hitters like that a fastball might not be the best plan. ⋅ The Red Sox were a .500 team with Alex Bregman playing at an All-Star level. It could get ugly without him for what is expected to be It won't help this season, but perhaps there is a long-term upside. Bregman can opt out of his contract for next season and become a free agent, or he could stay with the Red Sox for $40 million. If Bregman only plays 100 or so games, staying might be a better play than going back into free agency coming off a major injury and entering his age-32 season. ⋅ Per Baseball Reference, Marcelo Mayer was the It's amazing that every big leaguer in history wouldn't come close to filling Fenway Park. ⋅ The Sox went into the weekend 381-386 in the regular season since they traded Mookie Betts and have played 11 postseason games. The Dodgers are 493-272 and have played 53. Sometimes, you do get what you deserve. ETC. Maine man for baseball memories Jon Perry coaches the baseball team at Hampden (Maine) Academy. He also played at the University of Maine under John Winkin and was a member of the 1981 team that played in the College World Series.

Patrick Mahomes Gives Telling Travis Kelce Update After Reports of Their Different Opinions Over Trump

The friendship between Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and the team's TE Travis Kelce has always been solid. The two have not only been a good twosome off the field, but they have also led the Chiefs to five Super Bowl appearances and three Super Bowl wins together. That's enough to form a bond. But that doesn't mean the two always see eye to eye. Fans have especially been wondering about the two's political opinions lately. Mahomes hasn't specifically indicated his politics, but his wife, Brittany Mahomes, has given indications she supports President Donald Trump in the past. Meanwhile, Kelce, who also stays somewhat under the radar when it comes to politics, has supported his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris in the last election cycle. There's no middle ground there. Advertisement More from StyleCaster Related: Here Are the Celebs Who Support Trump's Presidency With the team back for organized team activities (OTAs) already, Mahomes was asked about Kelce after the TE missed one practice but returned for the rest. 'I know his body feels good,' Mahomes said. 'I think it feels better than even last year, before going into last year, just because I think he's motivated to go out there and have an even better year than he did this past year.' No drama there, just football. This comes after reports that Kelce is pretty mad at the way President Trump has talked about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Kelce has never outright spoken against Trump, and in a pre-Super Bowl conference said, about Trump's attendance to the game, 'I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there, you know, it's the best country in the world. So, that'd be pretty cool.' Advertisement However, on May 16, on the social media app Truth Social, President Trump asked his followers, 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'' This is far from the first time President Trump has talked about Taylor Swift, previously posting 'I hate Taylor Swift,' days after she endorsed Kamala Harris for President. Swift has been pretty open about endorsing Democratic candidates and talked about her need to use her voice in her 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana. Kelce reportedly was pretty upset about Trump's social media attacks, with the Daily Mail even reporting that Kelce was 'seething' at the remarks. 'Travis is livid that the President of the United States is talking negatively about Taylor,' sources told the outlet. 'He is so mad that he is going to use it as motivation during training for the season ahead, especially if Trump continues talking.' They added, 'Since Travis can't say anything publicly because that would just open another can of worms, he has to figure out ways to get it out of his system because he would love to protect Taylor and stick up for her. But keeping quiet is the move he has to do right now.' Advertisement No confirmation on whether that means keeping quiet on his real opinions to his friend and QB, but the two still appear to be on good terms, or at least ready to tackle a new season together. As for Taylor Swift herself and Mahomes' wife, Brittany, who has been more open about her support for Trump, that remains to be seen. Perhaps they can put aside political preferences. Or perhaps you just don't want to be friends with someone who would support a man openly insulting you over and over. Time will tell. Best of StyleCaster Sign up for Stylecaster's Newsletter.
