New Video of Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce Date Night Is Turning Heads
New photos and videos of Taylor Swift and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, have come far and few in between over the past couple of months. This is because the couple has been staying under the radar as they do what they can to keep away from the public eye. In fact, the last time the two were photographed in public together was in March during a private date night in New York City. The two have reportedly spent their downtime together, but they have made it a point to be as low-key as they possibly can. This is probably why fans could not help but get all excited after a video of the couple surfaced online on Thursday, courtesy of a fan who was able to capture Swift and Kelce having fun during a New York Yankees game. It is important to note that this video was taken back on Oct. 14, 2024, as Swift and Kelce attended Game 1 of the American League Championship Series between the Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium. However, it was just on Thursday when a fan named Kelsey Cousins, who had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Swift during the game, posted the clip on her TikTok account. The newly surfaced video of Swift dancing in her seat beside a smiling Kelce has since been shared on social media, and it quickly grabbed the attention of fans. "Swift and Kelce enjoying the Yankees game celebrity moments we didn't know we needed!" a post on X read. "She is so cute dancing with her popcorns and drink," said another. "Oh I love her 🥹🫶🏻" a fan wrote. "I miss her so much," a Swiftie professed. "oh taydrought is real," another said. "not the taycrumbs," commented a user. Swift and Kelce should resurface together sooner or later, but until they do, fans will have no other choice but to settle for these "crumbs" from the lovebirds. For what it's worth, the highly anticipated Met Gala in New York City is on Monday night, and Swift has graced fashion's biggest night multiple times in the past. There has been some speculation that she will make an appearance at this year's big event, and perhaps she could bring Kelce along as a plus-one.

Shaikin: 'Another log on the fire.' Yankees eager to avenge World Series meltdown against Dodgers
Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (99) makes an error in the fifth inning of Game 5 of the World Series against the Dodgers at Yankees Stadium on Oct. 30. (Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times) For Dodgers fans, the must-have souvenir from last year's World Series was not a cap or T-shirt commemorating the team's championship. It was one of the stickers that popped up all over town, reproducing the Fox Sports score box that showed the New York Yankees leading, 5-0, with two out in the fifth inning. For the Yankees, it was the image that encapsulated an inning of extremely unfortunate events: Aaron Judge dropped a fly ball, Anthony Volpe committed a throwing error, Gerrit Cole did not cover first base. Advertisement The Dodgers tied the score before the Yankees could secure that third out and, a couple hours later, boisterously raised the championship trophy atop a makeshift stage in the Yankee Stadium outfield. The celebrations raged for days, including a Mookie Betts podcast on which Chris Taylor said the Yankees had "s— down their leg' and a 'Baseball Isn't Boring' podcast on which Joe Kelly said the Dodgers' scouting reports had highlighted the Yankees' deficiencies: 'They can't make a play.'

(Wally Skalij/Los Angeles Times) You cannot glorify bat flips, as Major League Baseball itself does these days, and you cannot encourage players to market themselves and share their personalities, as the league also does, without running the risk of what the old-fashioned among us might call poor sportsmanship. To the Yankees' credit, they get it. Advertisement 'The way I personally look at it is, when you go out and you are on the right side of the victory, you've got a leg to stand on,' Yankees closer Luke Weaver told me this week at Angel Stadium. 'When you lose, you ain't got much to say. 'They said what they said. That's what they felt. I don't take it too personally. In a perfect world, yeah, you don't want to hear that type of stuff. We know what happened. We know we had to do a better job. We just didn't quite do what we wanted to do. With that being said, it is what it is.' For the first time since the World Series, the Yankees return to Dodger Stadium this weekend. The Dodgers are sold out of suites advertised this week for as much as $15,000 per game. As of Wednesday, available tickets on the team website for Friday's series opener ranged from $103 to $567 in general, $146 to $607 with early entry included. Read more: How one 'crazy' inning ignited Dodgers' comeback in World Series clincher Advertisement The entire series will be nationally broadcast: Friday on Apple+, Saturday on Fox, Sunday on ESPN. 'I understand that it's going to get a lot of eyeballs,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'I think that's great for our sport.' Said Weaver: 'It'll be a big series because, one, they're a great team, and we feel like we're a great team. It's hard to say it's not a rematch. 'To be honest, there's probably some deeper pride that wants to go in there and play good ball and play clean ball, and make sure that we take the series and do our job.' ESPN played up the 'rematch' angle during last Sunday's Dodgers broadcast. However, of the 10 players that started that fateful Game 5 of the World Series for the Yankees, only three are active on the Yankees' roster: Judge, Volpe and catcher Austin Wells. Advertisement Gone in free agency: outfielders Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo and infielders Anthony Rizzo and Gleyber Torres. On the injured list: Cole, infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton. New to New York: former Dodger Cody Bellinger, former Dodger-killer Paul Goldschmidt and L.A.'s own Max Fried, who is Friday's scheduled starting pitcher.

(Wally Skalij/Los Angeles Times) In spring training, Judge said there was a simple solution to whatever verbal shots the Dodgers took in the wake of the World Series: 'Play better.' At the time, Boone said he hoped the Yankees would 'handle things with a little more class' if they won the World Series this year. He also noted the Dodgers' stars did not say anything to diminish the Yankees. Advertisement 'Some guys are more inclined to spout off and be a little more colorful than others, and that's their right. They won,' he said then. 'And again, hopefully we're in that position and do things a little better." Have the Yankees used that fifth inning for motivation or just flushed it? 'I've used the phrase 'another log on the fire,'' Boone said this week. 'We've had some really tough ends to the season, and probably in some way, shape or form serve as some motivation. 'But I'd like to think that, had we won the World Series last year, we'd be hell bent on getting back again. You put this uniform on, and this hat, and what it represents, and our goal is to get back and do that again.' Advertisement Read more: Shaikin: Apple's documentary on Dodgers provides 'all-access' look at World Series run The Detroit Tigers, not the Yankees, have the best record in the American League. The Philadelphia Phillies, not the Dodgers, have the best record in the National League. Yet the projections at Baseball Prospectus and Fangraphs say the most likely World Series matchup is a Dodgers-Yankees rematch. That would be great for L.A. and New York, and for Fox, but that also would make a lockout after the 2026 season even more likely than it already is. You can hear the owners now: If the price of admission to the World Series again is a team in one of the two largest markets in baseball, how can a team in any other market hope to compete? And, if the Dodgers spend $1 billion on free agents, win, spend another half-billion on free agents, and return to the World Series, are the Dodgers ruining baseball? Advertisement 'It's difficult for most of us owners to be able to do the kinds of things that they're doing,' an owner said last January. Read more: 'You want your chance to win one.' New Dodgers feel World Series hunger during celebrations Oh, wait: That was Hal Steinbrenner, owner of the Yankees, the one team that CNBC estimated generated more revenue than the Dodgers last year. This, we hope, is Steinbrenner being a team player. One high-ranking sports industry executive told me he never has seen baseball owners so united on pursuing major changes to the sport's economic structure, salary cap or otherwise. Either the large-market owners and small-market owners truly are on the same page, or at least they need the players' union to believe they are. Advertisement It is difficult to imagine Steinbrenner willfully offering to surrender some of the Yankees' competitive advantage so the Pittsburgh Pirates can squander a few more bucks. What Steinbrenner said is reasonable at a time cable television revenue has dried up for many teams, even as the Dodgers and Yankees continue to cash in, but the 'us' makes the comment look silly. If a couple players on the Dodgers can make a silly comment, so can the owner of the Yankees. Bring on the World Series rematch. Sign up for more Dodgers news with Dodgers Dugout.

Billy Joel cancels touring after being diagnosed with brain disorder
FILE - Musician Billy Joel performs during his 100th lifetime performance at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, in New York. (Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File) Billy Joel has canceled all his upcoming concerts across North America and England after being diagnosed with fluid buildup in his brain that has affected his 'hearing, vision and balance.' Joel revealed on Instagram that he has Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, 'a brain disorder that can affect brain-related abilities, including thinking and concentrating, memory, movement and more,' the Cleveland Clinic says. 'This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance,' according to a statement from Joel's team. 'Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period.' In an accompanying statement, Joel said, 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.' In March, 'The Piano Man' and 'Uptown Girl' singer announced that he underwent surgery and had to undergo physical therapy. A statement at the time said doctors expected him to make a full recovery. It is unclear if his medical issues at the time were related to Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. The condition can cause problems with walking, bladder control and thinking, with symptoms worsening if left untreated. It's relatively rare and can be hard to diagnose. It can be treated successfully with surgery to install a tube to drain excess fluid. Patients may need physical therapy in addition to surgery. Joel, 76, wrapped up his decadelong residency at Madison Square Garden in July 2024 and continued to tour. His planned summer stops included shows at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field in New York, and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Tickets for all the shows will be refunded. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.

Billy Joel Diagnosed with Brain Disorder, Cancels All Upcoming Tour Dates
The post Billy Joel Diagnosed with Brain Disorder, Cancels All Upcoming Tour Dates appeared first on Consequence. Billy Joel has revealed that he has been diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), a brain disorder that causes fluid to accumulate in the brain's ventricles, leading to issues with hearing, vision, and balance. The condition has been 'exacerbated' by recent live performances, and as a result, the 76-year-old musician has been forced to cancel all upcoming concerts scheduled through 2026. 'Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. He is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health,' according to a statement released on Friday. In his own words, Joel added, 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.' Joel most recently performed in February, during which he notably fell on his back while attempting to throw his microphone to a stagehand. In March, he postponed four months' worth of tour dates for what was then described as an undisclosed medical condition requiring surgery. The symptoms of NPH are reversible if caught early enough. The condition impacts 0.3% of adults between the age of 70 and 80 years old, with the primary symptoms being cognitive difficulties, trouble walking, and urinary incontinence, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Those diagnosed with the disorder may undergo surgery to implant a device that drains excess fluid.

Yankees rookie Jasson Dominguez etches name in MLB record books with dramatic walk-off homer
New York Yankees rookie outfielder Jasson Dominguez hit a walk-off home run to give the team a 4-3 comeback win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. With one out and up 2-0 in the count, Dominguez clubbed a hanging slider from Rangers' reliever Luke Jackson 398 feet into the second deck to give the Yankees the win. Dominguez's home run did more than just win the game -- he also etched his name into the history books. The 22-year-old is the first player in MLB history to achieve these four feats in a single month: hit three home runs in a game, hit a home run from both sides of the plate in a game, hit a grand slam, and hit a walk-off home run, according to OptaSTATS. Earlier in the month against the Athletics, Dominguez became the youngest Yankees player to ever hit three home runs in a game. He became just the 16th player ever to have a three-home run game with at least one coming from each side of the plate. On the season, Dominguez has a .241 batting average with a .340 on-base percentage with six home runs and 22 RBI. The Yankees outfielder has especially turned it up in May, as he has hit .267 with an on-base percentage of .382, with four home runs in the month. The American League East-leading Yankees have won three straight games and seven of their last nine games. The Yankees (29-19) are going for the three-game sweep of the Rangers (25-25) when they play at 12:35 p.m. ET on Thursday.
