Taylor Swift Turns Heads in New Photos and Fans Are Coming to Her Defense
Taylor Swift Turns Heads in New Photos and Fans Are Coming to Her Defense originally appeared on Parade. Taylor Swift stepped out with longtime BFF Selena Gomez in New York City on May 31 and photos of the outing have been posted online by DeuxMoi. The comments section of the Instagram post quickly filled up with comments from people wondering if Swift is pregnant with her first child as the "Bad Blood" singer's outfit was called into question. However, fans of Swift quickly came to her defense, slamming those who questioned whether or not the 35-year-old is expecting."Hey so speculating if someone is pregnant can be incredibly triggering for a lot of people due to for example infertility issues and eating disorders so can we please NOT," one person wrote. "If Taylor was pregnant she wouldn't be going out publicly like this if she hadn't announced it so no I don't think she's pregnant lol. Calm down," someone else said. "Here's an idea guys… she's not currently burning 5k calories during her 3+ hour show every night and she's living her life like a normal woman. She's healthy and has a NORMAL body. You guys need to go rewatch Miss Americana and cut it out," a third comment read. "Everyone saying: is she pregnant? Haven't you ever have your period maybe? Eat your dinner???" a fourth Instagram user added. Swift pregnancy rumors creep up on the internet from time to time, and have become more regular since she started dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce. In the past, Swift has talked about wanting children, but she's been focused on her career. "I want a bunch of [children] running around, minimum four. I want to wait a while, but the idea of pouring everything you are into another person when you become a parent has always been amazing to me," she told Marie Claire in 2012 (via CapitalFM). Taylor Swift Turns Heads in New Photos and Fans Are Coming to Her Defense first appeared on Parade on Jun 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff re-create iconic moment to celebrate her historic masters purchase
Taylor Swift is enjoying her 'Reputation' era again after breaking the news that she now owns her master recordings. Swift announced in a May 30 letter on her website that after re-recording four of her albums — dubbed 'Taylor's Version' — she bought back all of her masters, including her 2006 self-titled debut and 2017's 'Reputation.' Swift's longtime friend and producer, Jack Antonoff, shared a video of the duo on X the night of May 30 as they enjoyed a 'guilt free' listen of 'Reputation' to celebrate the news. In the clip, Swift and Antonoff sang the album's ninth track, 'Getaway Car' and re-created a viral moment from her 2020 documentary 'Miss Americana' where they wrote the song together. Swift was initially carrying her cat Meredith at the start of the video before placing the feline down to finish the tune with Antonoff, who screamed as the clip ended. 'rep forever guilt free listening!' Antonoff captioned the post. After re-recording four of her albums, including 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red' and '1989,' Swift addressed in her May 30 letter to fans whether she would be re-releasing the rest of her first six albums to complete the project. 'What about Rep TV? Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it,' Swift wrote on her website. '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…To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it. Not the music, or the photos, or the videos. So I kept putting it off.' However, Swift shared, 'I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now.' Whether fans will get to hear 'Taylor's Version' of those two albums — or even just the vault tracks — remains unknown, with the singer writing, 'But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now.' After working with Swift on several tracks from 2014's '1989,' Antonoff and Swift kicked off a long partnership of co-writing and producing her subsequent albums, including 'Reputation,' 'Lover,' 'Folklore,' 'Evermore,' 'Midnights' and several songs on her most recent record, 'The Tortured Poets Department.' During an October 2023 appearance on 'Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist,' Antonoff opened up about his friendship and working relationship with Swift over the decades, including why he thinks they work so well together. 'That relationship has gone on and on and on and I think we've just pushed each other endlessly,' Antonoff explained. 'I could quantify our relationship in very reductive ways about the things we agree on, the sounds we like, but the truth is, we've just grown together. She's put an amazing amount of belief in me.'

President Donald Trump takes aim at Taylor Swift: 'She's no longer hot'
President Donald Trump takes aim at Taylor Swift: 'She's no longer hot' Show Caption Hide Caption See Taylor Swift's Harris endorsement, Trump's response after debate Taylor Swift took to Instagram to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Former President Donald Trump responded in the spin room. President Donald Trump is again taking aim at pop star Taylor Swift. The president took to right-leaning social platform Truth Social on May 16 to ask his followers: "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'" Trump first said he hated Swift, one of the music industry's most powerful and influential stars, in September after she endorsed his opponent — former Vice President Kamala Harris — in the 2024 presidential election. "I hate Taylor Swift," Trump said at the time on Truth Social, days after the singer endorsed Harris amid pressure from fans in an Instagram post to her 284 million followers immediately after the sole general election debate. Trump said 'I hate Taylor Swift.' Travis Kelce: The president attending Super Bowl 'cool.' In her 2020 Netflix documentary "Miss Americana," Swift got candid about her political leanings and also slammed the former president. Filmed during the 2018 midterm elections, she discussed endorsing the opponent of U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, the ultra-conservative from Tennessee who she called "Trump in a wig." When her publicist Tree Paine tried to foresee potential PR issues for the pop star, including backlash from the Trump, Swift said "I don't care." Taylor Swift has skipped mentioning Trump by name in recent years The powerful foes have long had "Bad Blood." While Swift has rarely posted or mentioned Trump by name in recent years, except to point out in her endorsement that there was AI showing her "falsely endorsing Donald Trump ... and the dangers of spreading misinformation," Trump has continued to throw shade. "Recently I was made aware that AI of 'me' falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site," Swift wrote, referencing Trump taking to his social media platform Truth Social and posting several suspected artificial intelligence-generated images alluding to Swift and Swifties' support for his campaign. Bad blood: Donald Trump says 'I hate Taylor Swift' after she endorsed Harris But in September, during a Fox News interview, Trump said that he preferred Swift's close friend Brittany Mahomes, the Kansas City businesswoman and wife of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Donald Trump continues to jab Taylor Swift over Super Bowl During press interviews for Super Bowl 59, Mahomes' teammate and Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce stoked controversy for praising Trump's plans to attend the two-time reigning champ's big game against the Philadelphia Eagles. "That's awesome. It's a great honor," he told reporters, according to videos posted by multiple media outlets Wednesday. "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." After attending the Super Bowl where Swift was booed by infamously rowdy Eagles fans, Trump posted a message on Truth Social, "The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!" During the Eagles' Super Bowl celebration at the White House last month, Trump took another jab at Swift. "I watched in person. I was there along with Taylor Swift. How did that work out?" Trump said during the April 28 celebration, drawing laughter from the crowd of Eagles fans. "How did that one work out?"

6 pricey perfumes celebrities actually wear and don't get paid to promote
Celebrities endorse everything from clothing to make-up and fragrances, but that doesn't mean they use them. From Justin Bieber to Olivia Rodrigo, here's a list of what perfumes they actually use It's not about the clothes or the accessories, but perfume can say a lot about a person. When it comes to famous people, it's not weird to want to know what our favourite celebrity smells like, right? Many of us get drawn into buying a perfume just because our favourite celebrity is endorsing it. Many celebrities collaborate with high-end brands to promote certain fragrances, while some even come up with their own perfume brands. But sometimes they end up wearing other scents than the ones that they are paid to endorse. If you've ever wanted to smell like your favourite A-lister, this is your chance. Just a heads up, they're quite expensive. The Mirror have compiled a list of perfumes celebrities actually wear. Rihanna - Kilian Love, Don't Be Shy - £225.00 Rihanna owns the makeup and fragrance brand Fenty Beauty. Her company offers a wide range of cosmetics, skincare, and fragrance products. Nonetheless, that's not what the singer allegedly smells like on a day-to-day basis. According to Harper's Bazaar, Rihanna's go-to scent is Don't Be Shy by Kilian Love. Back in 2016, the singer filmed a video with her friend @StylishGent, where he revealed that the singer was wearing this perfume. In short, RiRi smells like a marshmallow, vanilla and orange combined - which makes total sense. Taylor Swift - Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford - £237.45 What does the biggest pop star in the world, Taylor Swift, smell like? A scene from her 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana shows the singer backstage during a show of her Reputation tour, which seemed to have revealed her favourite fragrance brand as Tom Ford, as a bottle of Tom Ford's Santal Blush appeared on the frame. But, Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille is believed to be her actual signature scent, which is a rich, warm blend of vanilla and smoky tobacco. As per Cosmopolitan, the singer admitted to having worn Tom Ford during the 2024 VMA Awards. Ariana Grande - Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford - £222.00 Ariana Grande has released 10 perfume lines, based on the titles of her albums. Although the singer has publicly admitted to using her own perfumes, with her favourite one being MOD Vanilla EDP, she also opts for other popular scents. The singer smells like Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino, Yahoo! News revealed. It's a Mediterranean-inspired scent, featuring a citrusy-fresh aroma including neroli, bergamot, and Sicilian lemon. Going back to her Italian roots, it also reflects her youthful spirit with an elegant, warm twist. Olivia Rodrigo - Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 During an interview with GQ Magazine, Olivia Rodrigo revealed that her favourite perfume was Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Despite its hefty price tag, its smell is just so heavenly, with notes of jasmine, saffron, ambergris mineral and cedar. It also isn't the first time that Olivia shared her go-to perfume, as during an interview with Vogue in 2021, she said to 'like perfumes that have a natural musk.' Not only does it suit her charismatic persona, but it also transmits some of her some bold character! Harry Styles - Gucci's Mémoire D'une Odeur - £71.00 Despite his global success, Harry Styles keeps it pretty simple when it comes to fragrances. As written by Huda Beauty 's blog, the British singer's signature scent, Mémoire D'une Odeur by Gucci, isn't only the cheapest on the list, but it's also a genderless fragrance. Not only is the bottle so pretty and chic, the perfume has a combination of chamomile, Indian jasmine, bitter almond as well as woodsy notes including sandalwood and cedarwood. Although it leans more towards the feminine side, Harry Styles is the person that can definitely pull it off. Justin Bieber - Le Labo Santal 33 - £170.00 Just like Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber has also released fragrances of his own during the early stages of his hugely successful singing career. But what does he wear daily? Well, it's Le Labo Santal 33. What's so special about this unisex scent is that it combines cardamom with notes of iris and violet. It's also slightly woodsy and smoky, creating a unique fragrance that's just so addicting and comforting.

21 Female Celebrities Who Totally Exposed The Sexism And Double-Standards They've Faced In Their Careers
IDK if you heard, but International Women's Day is on March 8 — which is around the corner (at least, at the time I'm writing this)! So since feminism is my biggest personality trait, I couldn't let the holiday pass me by. So in honour of IWD, I decided to spotlight some female celebs who have opened up about how hard it is being a woman — in general, but also based on their experiences in the public eye. And it's fascinating, so here we go! 1. In her documentary Miss Americana, Taylor Swift discussed the double-standard that exists for women in the entertainment industry. "The female artists that I know of have reinvented themselves 20 times more than the male artists," she said. "They have to, or else you're out of a job." Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images / The Recording Academy "Constantly having to reinvent. Constantly finding new facets of yourself that people find to be shiny. Be new to us. Be young to us, but only in a new way, and only the way we want." 2. Beyoncé has long been a feminist — her performance at the 2014 VMAs, where she had a giant "Feminist" sign behind her, was nothing short of legendary. She's also spoken about it tons of times. "The entertainment business is still very sexist," she said in 2020. "It's still very male-dominated and as a woman, I did not see enough female role models given the opportunity to what I knew I had to do." "Not enough black women had a seat at the table. So I had to go and chop down that wood and build my own table. Then I had to invite the best there was to have a seat." 3. There was soooo much buzz about Ariana Grande's speaking voice change post- Wicked. Ariana clarified that this is a "normal thing" that happens for many actors, and explained that the scrutiny is actually kind of sexist. "When it's a male actor that does it, it's acclaimed," Ariana said. "There are definitely jokes that are made as well, but it's always after being led with praise." 'Tale as old as time being a woman in this industry. You are treated differently, and you are under a microscope in a way that some people aren't.' 4. Emily Blunt got super candid about her thoughts on sexism in a 2023 interview, right around the release of Oppenheimer. "Women are still pressured to be warm and likable. Men are not," she said. "Men are not held to that same standard. No one cared if Leonardo DiCaprio was likable in The Wolf of Wall Street." "We're not often given a platform to speak honestly. Or you're considered too ambitious or emotional if someone appears to be speaking their mind with spirited opinion." 5. Jennifer Lawrence discussed a similar issue in 2015. "I'm over trying to the find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likable. Fuck that," she said. "I don't think I've ever worked for a man in charge who spent time contemplating what angle he should use to have his voice heard. It's just heard." 6. In 2021, Olivia Rodrigo discussed the sexism she's noticed in the music industry — specifically, how female songwriters are more frequently condemned for writing about romantic situations. Specifically, she said she's noticed "sexist criticism of songwriters like me being told that they only write songs about boys." "I'm a teenage girl, I write about stuff that I feel really intensely — and I feel heartbreak and longing really intensely — and I think that's authentic and natural." 7. In 2017, Reese Witherspoon opened up about being sexually assaulted by a director when she was 16. "I've had multiple experiences of harassment and sexual assault and I don't speak about them very often, but after hearing all the stories these past few days and hearing these brave women speak up tonight, the things that we're kind of told to sweep under the rug and not talk about, it's made me want to speak up and speak up loudly." "I have just spoken to so many actresses and writers, particularly women, who have had similar experiences and many of them have bravely gone public with their stories. That truth is very encouraging to me." 8. Emma Stone revealed that her jokes have been stolen from her in the past, and given to male co-stars instead. "I hesitate to make it about being a woman," she began, "but there have been times when I've improvised, they've laughed at my joke and then given it to my male co-star. Given my joke away." 9. After she won an Oscar for Room, Brie Larson revealed the sexist comments she's received during auditions throughout her life. "There were many times that I would go into auditions and the casting directors would say, 'It's really great, we love what you're doing, but we'd really love for you to come back in a jean miniskirt and high heels.'" 10. Gal Gadot talked about the gender pay gap that *still* exists in Hollywood. "My biggest struggle as a woman has been equal pay as my male co-stars," she said. "As a woman, that has been the biggest thing. As a human being, I have struggled with many other problems. But the thing that I fought for the most was equal pay with my male stars." 11. In a 2019 interview with Elle, Mindy Kaling opened up about not getting her fair share of credit as a writer back in the early days of The Office. Basically, the Television Academy was going to cut Mindy's name from the list of The Office writers for Emmy nominations. "I had to get letters from all the other male, white producers saying that I had contributed, when my actual record stood for itself," she explained. 12. Mila Kunis revealed that a producer once told her"you'll never work in this town again" after she refused to pose "semi-naked on the cover of a men's magazine." She detailed feeling "livid" and "objectified," and made a really fascinating point: "What this producer may never realize is that he spoke aloud the exact fear every woman feels when confronted with gender bias in the workplace." "For the first time in my career I said 'no.' And guess what? The world didn't end. The film made a lot of money and I did work in this town again, and again, and again." 13. Lady Gaga has shut down tons of sexist questions throughout her career. For one, in response to an interviewer who asked if she's "scared that having sexual references can undermine music," she said: "You see, if I was a guy and I was sitting here with a cigarette in my hands grabbing my crotch talking about how I make music because I like fast cars and fucking girls, you'd call me a rock star. But when I do it in my music and video because I'm a female and I make pop music, you're judgemental and say it's distracting." And two years later, when asked about buying lingerie, she said, "I, um... that's very inappropriate of you to ask me." 14. Lena Dunham exposed the most sexist thing that's happened to her in her career, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I heard a guy on my show say into his microphone: 'I hate this job. I can't wait to be back on a show where there's a man at the helm.'" Mike Marsland / Getty Images "Later, that same guy came up to me at lunch and said, 'You're really enjoying that buffet, aren't you?'" 15. Recently, in May 2024, Anya Taylor-Joy talked about encouraging women to express their genuine emotions. "I've developed a bit of a reputation for fighting for feminine rage, which is a strange thing, because I'm not promoting violence — but I am promoting women being seen as people," she explained. "We have reactions that are not always dainty or unmessy." TheStewartofNY / Getty Images 16. Florence Pugh has long been open about sexism, especially when it comes to objectification, sexualization, and control over women's actions. "It's always been fashionable to tell a woman how she should live her life," she said. "Or that the decisions they are making are wrong or too loud. She also said she's "watched talented, beautiful women get torn apart." Karwai Tang / Getty Images "It's about control, isn't it? It's still ultimately about suppressing one sex, and we're dealing with it all the time." 17. Actress Gillian Anderson shared her experiences with the gender pay gap, particularly in her role on The X Files. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said that "as usual," The X Files offered her "half of what they want[ed] to offer David [Duchovny]." Dave Benett / Getty Images A source told The Hollywood Reporter that they got paid the same amount for the series. So based on Gillian's story, we can assume she was offered less initially, but then ended up getting paid equally. 18. In 2015, Sandra Bullock talked about how scary it is to see young women mistreated in Hollywood. "I feel like it's become open hunting season in how women are attacked and it's not because of who we are as people, it's because of how we look or our age," she shared. Karwai Tang / Getty Images "The women [in the industry] have bonded together and have sort of become this tribe of trying to take care of each other and be there for each other in a way, because the minute you step out it's an onslaught." 19. Allison Brie revealed an audition story for an episode of the 2000s TV show Entourage, in which they asked her to "go on in a bikini." She also said: "I've gone through auditions for Marvel movies and auditioned a million times for roles with three lines and you are begging for them. And I'd be glad to get them!" Neilson Barnard / Getty Images "It's brutal, it just is." 20. Salma Hayek has applied a fascinating strategy to outsmart prejudice in the film industry. "I battled racism by using their sexism," she said. "So I invented this sexy character. That was what [Hollywood] was able to open up to, that's how I went in." Then, she'd "delicately inject" bits of comedy and intelligence into her scenes, making her characters more complex. Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Images "I remember understanding this, and making a choice: 'Am I degrading myself?' I didn't sleep with people. It was just that this was something they could understand." 21. And in 2019, Gina Rodriguez, who you might know from Jane the Virgin, shared that she had to explain the gender pay gap to her nephew. "He goes, 'My mommy makes more than my daddy, and you make more, so don't women always make more than men?'" Through this experience, Gina realized she's "a reflection to young boys" that women can be strong, powerful leaders. Raymond Hall / Getty Images "Here I'm thinking I'm only affecting women, when I have my nephew being like, 'I see you making deals. You're the CEO of your company.'" Now, ladies: what's a double-standard you've experienced as a woman, whether at work or in general? Tell me in the comments below.
