Selena Gomez Cheers On Taylor Swift As She Reclaims Her Music Catalog
After years of waiting, Taylor Swift finally has the rights to her music catalog again. On Friday, May 30, the "Mirrorball" singer revealed that Shamrock Capital had agreed to sell back the rights to her music with "no strings attached." A few hours after the "Anti-Hero" singer revealed that she was once again owned the rights to her old songs, music videos, and photography, her close friend Selena Gomez stepped up to show her support. "YES YOU DID THAT TAY!!!" she wrote on her Instagram Stories, adding, "SO proud!" The close friends have often shared their support with one another on social media, with Swift recently cheering on Gomez's latest album with her fiancé, . Earlier, in a post announcing their engagement, Swift commented, "yes I will be the flower girl," which sent fans into a frenzy. The news proved to be so popular that Swift's Instagram post received over five million likes within only three hours of publication. "taylor" started trending in the top spot on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, along with the title of one of her songs, "Better Than Revenge." Although comments on her Instagram post were disabled, her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce, dropped a subtle sign of support by "liking" her post, since he was unable to leave a comment. The post received many celebrities likes from her famous friends, many of whom have supported her throughout her journey to reclaim her music. The "Look What You Made Me Do" singer announced the good news in a long letter that she published on her website on the morning of Friday, May 30. In the letter, she thanked her fans for supporting her music and her wildly successful Eras Tour, which helped make the purchase possible. 'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it,' she told her followers. 'To my fans, you know how important this has been to me – so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor's Version.' Since Scooter Braun's acquisition in 2019, Swift has released 'Fearless (Taylor's Version),' 'Red (Taylor's Version),' "Speak Now (Taylor's Version),' and '1989 (Taylor's Version).' 'The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music,' she continued. 'I can't thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to but have never owned until now.' Now that she has the rights to her music back, many fans are wondering what will happen to the last two albums that she has yet to re-record: "Reputation" and her debut album. In her letter, she revealed that while she has completed re-recording her debut album, she has been struggling with "Reputation" and the memories that she associates with that era of her life. '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 explained. '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 hoping for a full re-release of her debut album. '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.'

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes expresses excitement for Thanksgiving game vs. Cowboys
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes expresses excitement for Thanksgiving game vs. Cowboys The Kansas City Chiefs' Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys will also serve as Patrick Mahomes' homecoming, as the Texas native can play in front of his family and friends. "It's going to be special. I've wanted to play at the Cowboys stadium, obviously just because I haven't had the opportunity to actually play in the game," said Mahomes during Thursday's press conference, "My first year we were there, I was at the game, but I didn't get to play. I'm growing up watching those games, going to those games – it was a special experience for me and my family, so I'm excited to get everybody there. Then, to play on Thanksgiving, if you're in Thanksgiving in Texas, you're watching the Cowboys play, and so it'll be a special moment. I know those ticket prices went up a little bit for me, but other than that, it's going to be cool to play on Thanksgiving, have the primetime, have that 3 o'clock kick, and be able to go out there and play in front of hopefully a lot of my friends and family." Mahomes was a rookie in the Chiefs' 2017 game in Dallas and spent the day on the sidelines as Alex Smith's backup that year. This will also be the two-time MVP's first Thanksgiving game and will have an extra layer of special meaning this year. "I haven't been to a Thanksgiving game, but I obviously went to a lot of games growing up." said Mahomes, "I played there when I was in college, so it'll be exciting, and my son's birthday is the day after so hopefully we can find a way to win and then get to celebrate my son's birthday after that." CBS Sports' Jim Nantz believes the holiday showdown will break television records as fans see Mahomes lead the battle for the 'America's Team' nickname.

Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid shares Josh Simmons update at OTAs
Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid shares Josh Simmons update at OTAs The Kansas City Chiefs' rookie class has high expectations going into the 2025 season, with the biggest spotlight on first-round selection Josh Simmons. During Thursday's voluntary OTAs press conference, head coach Andy Reid addressed Simmons' ongoing injury recovery. "He's (Josh Simmons) one that didn't work this week, but he's been doing everything up to that point." said Reid, "He's actually further ahead than I thought he was, and we might actually be able to get – originally, we weren't going to have in the Phase 3 part at all, other than the individual stuff. We've kept him out of the team stuff with that, but he did all of Phase 2, and he's done a good job of what we've seen. We've just got to get him in with the defense against him." The former Ohio State offensive lineman earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors last season for the 2024 National Champions. He missed significant time last October due to a torn patellar tendon but is believed to be on track to return to good health. "I think for sure for camp. We might be able to get something out of him (Josh Simmons) in the team periods in Phase 3 here, so that's a positive." said Reid, "We weren't expecting to be able to do that, but he's really done a good job with his rehab stuff and the doctor that did his surgery did a nice job." Kansas City has added depth to the offensive line, in addition to Simmons, with the free-agent signing of former San Francisco 49ers left tackle Jaylon Moore.

The Real Reason Taylor Swift Skipped the AMAs After Travis Kelce Fueled Engagement Rumors
One big absence shook audiences to their core at the 2025 American Music Awards. Taylor Swift did not show up to the fan-voted awards show after fans were theorizing that she would make a huge announcement about her future releases. Taylor Swift was nominated for six awards at the 2025 AMAs for her album The Tortured Poets Department. Swifties anticipated the singer's long-awaited return and theorized that she would announce Reputation (Taylor's Version). Her team even teased something huge for the awards show when they rallied fans to vote for her album and songs at the award show. (More on that later!) More from StyleCaster Taylor Swift Reportedly Wishes She 'Never Met' Blake Lively After Years of 'Red Flags'-She's 'Disgusted' Gigi Hadid's Sister Just Gave a Rare Insight into Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's Sex Life: 'She Deserves It'The AMAs are a special place for Taylor Swift and Swifties alike. She currently holds the record for the most AMAs wins with a whopping total of 40, and was named the Artist of the Decade in 2019. But, what was the real reason she wasn't at the awards show? Perhaps Taylor Swift is still laying low after an exhausting year during the Eras tour. Reports emerged over the past couple of months that she and her boyfriend Travis Kelce were taking a break after he lost the Super Bowl. 'They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoy it,' a source told People in April. 'They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It's a special time for them.' Just days before the awards show, Travis and Taylor were spotted in a restaurant in Florida by TMZ. The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end is staying at a $20M mansion to train in the southern state for the NFL offseason. There are also very big rumors that the couple will take the next step in their relationship soon. A source told the Daily Mail that an engagement is definitely on the way. 'Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say yes, and they can't wait for them to get engaged,' a source told the site. 'Nothing seems to be imminent, but it will 100 percent happen. Taylor and Travis are treating this relationship as their last relationship, and when they get engaged, when they get married and when they start a family, it will be exactly when it is meant to happen.' Taylor's team teased fans earlier in the month about the American Music Awards. Taylor Nation reshared a fan's post on X about voting for the artist and wrote, 'And our town, it looks so sMall from wAy up here.' Taylor's team added 'Screamed, 'vote for the chairman' at the night sky!' It might be a coincidence, but it reflected the spelling of her song 'thanK you aIMee' and the capitalized letters of the tweets spell out 'AMAs.' Swifties also pointed out that Taylor's online merch site changed from its previous format to a four-block of purchasing options, 'Apparel' 'Music' 'Accessories' and 'Sale.' What does that spell? You guessed it. 'AMAs.' However, Taylor didn't win any of her nominations at the American Music Awards. She was nominated for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Collaboration of the Year (with Post Malone), Favorite Pop Album, Favorite Female Pop Artist, and Favorite Touring Artist. So, it makes sense for her to skip out on the awards show to rest with her beau. Reputation (Taylor's Version) is Taylor's second-to-last album before she completes her re-recordings of her discography. Will we ever see the announcement in the near future? We surely hope so!
