Taylor Swift Faces Family Crisis And Travis Kelce Passes The Test
When Taylor Swift's father faced a serious health scare, the emotional rollercoaster brought new revelations and one unexpected phone notification. From a rushed hospital vigil to Travis Kelce stepping up like never before, Swift's inner circle is tighter than ever. Sources say love, loyalty, and a certain family group chat now define this pivotal moment. Taylor Swift's Father Faces Life-Threatening Emergency Taylor's father, Scott Swift, is recovering after undergoing an unexpected quintuple bypass heart surgery earlier this week. What began as a routine check-up for the 73-year-old turned into a sudden crisis, leaving the Swift family deeply shaken. 'The doctor found something and everything happened so fast. But they took care of it,' an insider revealed to the Daily Mail. Scott's emergency came as a shock not just to fans, but to Taylor herself, who has historically been far more concerned about her mother Andrea Swift's ongoing health battles. 'Taylor has been so concerned with her mother's health struggles over the years that her focus was really only on her. Her dad was always in great shape,' the source added. Andrea, now 67, has survived both brain and breast tumors. Taylor Leans On Travis Kelce In Crisis As the family rushed to Scott's side, it was Taylor's boyfriend, Travis, who stepped up in a major way. Sources say the NFL star immediately 'went into total caregiver mode,' doing everything from ordering takeout for Taylor to personally checking on her father. 'This was their first crisis together and Travis was doing everything right,' the insider said. 'If Taylor wasn't ready to marry him before, she sure is now. They were in love before, but now it seems unbreakable.' Perhaps, the ultimate sign of trust was when Travis received a coveted notification that he had been officially added to the Swift family group chat. Travis Kelce Gets Taylor Swift's Family's Stamp Of Approval Taylor's two-year romance with Kelce has steadily grown more serious, and this moment seems to have brought them even closer. Travis's relationship with her family has long been solid. In May, he and Taylor hosted a Mother's Day brunch in Philadelphia with both sides of the family, including his mother, Donna Kelce, his brother, Jason, and his sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce. Fans also remember how Donna and Taylor first bonded while cheering from the stands during the 2023 NFL season. Even Scott Swift, a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, has warmed up to Travis, despite the Chiefs beating his beloved team in the Super Bowl. Travis, in turn, affectionately calls him 'Big Scott' and pokes fun at his team loyalty. Taylor Swift's Deep Bond With Her Father Resurfaces Longtime fans know Taylor has always been close to her dad, both personally and professionally. Scott, a former Merrill Lynch stockbroker, helped manage her career in the early days and played a major role in building her $1.6 billion fortune. Scott has also had a subtle presence in her music. In the fan-favorite 'All Too Well,' Taylor sings, 'You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes,' while in 'But Daddy, I Love Him,' the title itself reflects her deep paternal connection. In May, during a tense legal battle involving Taylor's former best friend, Blake Lively, it was Scott who reportedly came to her rescue once again. How Scott Swift Intervened In Blake Lively's Legal Battle According to insiders, in exchange for Lively's legal team dropping a subpoena against Taylor, Scott allegedly turned over evidence showing that the opposing counsel had 'threatened to leak' Taylor's private texts with Blake. Though Lively's team denied the claim, the friendship between the two women has seemingly been strained ever since. In June, an insider told the Daily Mail that Lively was making attempts to reconcile with Taylor but her efforts were futile. 'Even though Taylor has cut ties with her, Blake hasn't with Taylor,' the source told the publication. They also revealed that Lively had made multiple attempts to reach Taylor via 'texts, voicemails and emails,' begging to mend things. 'Taylor hasn't responded to any of Blake's pleas. She's ignored all her groveling excuses. The missives explain there must be some misunderstanding on Taylor's part and that she would never do anything to harm their ten years of closeness and personal secrets,' the insider explained.

David and Victoria Beckham's agony as family feud explodes into ‘WW3'
The Beckham brothers are in the 'Gen Z version of World War Three' after Romeo and Cruz blocked Brooklyn on social media. David and Victoria Beckham's two youngest sons are accused of turning their backs on Brooklyn, 26, for good, and sending the family deeper into crisis. Model Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, 30, are said to be 'blindsided' after learning of the snub. 'Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three. It's a sad new low,' a source said. 'But the truth is, Brooklyn has cut out his parents David and Victoria from his life and it's the same with Romeo and Cruz. 'Even when the family have reached out to Brooklyn they have been ignored. 'He's not had contact for months and it feels clear to them that he doesn't want to make amends.' The feud, which The Sun understands started over money, has been bubbling for several months. Yesterday it was initially reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20. But those close to Brooklyn said this was not true. A friend said: 'Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers. 'He and Nicola certainly didn't unfollow them or block them — they're as confused as anyone else. 'The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on.' Shortly after Brooklyn learned of his brothers' snub, Romeo re-posted Justin Bieber's new song Walking Away on his Instagram stories with the caption: 'Yup.' A day earlier Brooklyn posted a photo of him, Nicola and sister Harper for the latter's 14th birthday. Those close to Brooklyn denied this was partly meant as an olive branch to his parents. One friend said: 'There is too much water under the bridge.' Brooklyn had publicly snubbed Victoria on Mother's Day this March, and failed to attend any of David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Brooklyn's pal insisted: 'Just because he and Nicola love Harper and want to show their affection, it doesn't mean they're trying to make amends with the family.' A separate source said: 'Brooklyn was always very close to Romeo and Cruz. They'd stay in touch even as they grew up and started following different career paths and travelling. 'It has been very difficult for David and Victoria to watch their sons grow apart as family means everything to them.' The Sun understands that incorrect allegations regarding Brooklyn and Romeo's ex-girlfriend Kim Turnbull have caused issues. Brooklyn was rumoured to have previously dated Kim as a teenager. This led to speculation that Nicola did not want him spending time with Romeo when he was with Kim. This was denied by all sides. Last month Kim released a statement saying: 'I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on. 'I have never been romantically involved in any capacity at any point with the person in question.' Romeo and DJ Kim split shortly before she posted the statement. Those close to the Beckhams say Brooklyn has not seen or spoken to his family in months. He flew to London in May to shoot a new campaign with Nicola for luxury clothing brand Moncler. But he failed to inform his family despite being ten minutes from their Holland Park home. People close to Brooklyn insisted his schedule did not allow for a meeting. But it is understood David and Victoria were saddened not to have heard from their son. At the time, a source close to the family said: 'It feels like Brooklyn has cut out the entire family. 'Not to contact them when he was in London felt like a low blow.' Brooklyn and Nicola, who wed in 2022, have bought a £10.5 million ($21.55 million) home in the US. Friends claimed David and Victoria were 'tight' and had not helped out financially. But those close to the Beckhams said this was 'nonsense,' adding: 'David and Victoria will always support Brooklyn if and when he needs it.' In May, Brooklyn and Nicola are understood to have dined with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their Montecito home, then reportedly hired the same crisis lawyer. A source added of the rift: 'It's all been incredibly painful. 'David and Victoria worship the ground Brooklyn walks on and will always be there for him.'

Your daily horoscope: July 3, 2025
Don't keep what you are hoping to achieve a big secret. The more people know what you are aiming for the more likely it is they will come forward to help you. In such an interconnected world going it alone is certain to be counterproductive. You will be so mentally sharp today that most of the people you have dealings with won't be able to keep up with your quickfire ideas. You won't just lead from the front, you will be so far ahead that the stragglers will lose sight of you. Taurus (April 21 - May 21): The best way to deal with a family crisis is to insist that everyone calms down and takes an hour or two to get a grip on their emotions. As one of the zodiac's Earth signs you have a talent for staying serene, which sets a good example. By all means think about your next major move but don't actually do anything with it just yet. The longer you give your ideas time to percolate through your brain the better the results will be when you finally get round to committing yourself. The more other people panic today the more you will approach life as if nothing could possibly go wrong. You do, however, need to be aware that not everyone is having such an easy time of it, so make allowances and assist them whenever you can. If a rival challenges you to back up your opinions with facts today you will shock them by showing you know everything there is to know about the current situation – and certainly more than they do. You don't just talk big, you think big too. The more you plan now the more you will be setting the foundations for success later in the year. With Mars in your sign there may be a temptation to race ahead without a second thought but you are far too sensible for that. Venus, your ruler, moves into the most adventurous area of your chart tomorrow, so if you dream of living a different lifestyle in a different place then now is the time to plan your escape. Make it the best move you've ever made. You have no intention of wasting your precious time and energy on the kind of mindless activities that other people find so appealing. Life is short and you intend to use every moment of it to do great things in the world – starting today! If you know what you want then no force on Earth can stop you from getting it. Like the centaur, your symbol, you are a natural hunter and will chase after your prey all day and all night if that's what it takes. Reach out and seize the prize. You need to knuckle down today and finish all those little jobs you have been putting off. Make a list from one to 10, in descending order of importance, and get on with them immediately. Work hard and the evening could still be your own. You can at times be overly critical of other people's efforts but it will pay you to be a bit more sensitive today in one-to-one dealings. A good bedside manner (even if it is fake) will make things easier for everyone but especially for you. A slapdash approach to legal matters could cost you dear today, so check the details of business agreements and make sure there are no loopholes that your rivals might be able to exploit for their own benefit. Don't let their profit be your loss. Discover more about yourself at

Family returns from holiday to find ‘drunk' squatter sitting on their couch
A Shepparton family say they have 'lost everything' after returning home from holidays to find the home they are renting had been overtaken by squatters. Sanjay Kuikel, a junior doctor working in regional Victoria, his wife Nilima Gautam and their two children arrived back in early May after three weeks visiting relatives in Nepal — only to find a man sitting on their couch watching TV, smoking and eating pizza. The house had been ransacked and stripped of $50,000 worth of valuables, including gold and silver, bags and clothing, kitchenware, their children's belongings and even Ms Gautam's wedding jewellery from her late father. The man sitting on the couch was 'drunk' and 'enjoying his dinner'. 'When my husband said, 'Who are you?' He said, 'I live here,'' she told 10 News. '[It was] really terrifying. They could have [had] a weapon. It was really shocking, especially having kids with you.' The family called police and the man was removed, only to return multiple times claiming the property was now his. The man had moved in drug paraphernalia, alcohol, even groceries and toiletries. 'Police told me there were 17 to 20 people coming in and out of the house every day,' she said. Neighbours were reportedly forced to call police at least half a dozen times due to loud and drunken behaviour while squatters were in the house. The locks have now been changed, but the family have been forced into temporary accommodation. Mr Kuikel has started a GoFundMe seeking to help the family rebuild, saying the experience had shattered 'our sense of security and peace of mind'. 'This traumatic experience has left us shaken and emotionally distressed,' he wrote. 'We are now living in temporary accommodation while trying to rebuild our lives. We are reaching out to our community, friends, and kind strangers for help.' Around $4000 of a $10,000 goal has been raised towards replacing essential items, covering the cost of 'safe, stable housing', easing the financial impact and 'providing a sense of stability for our young children during this unsettling time'. 'I've dedicated my career to caring for others — but now, my family and I are in urgent need of support,' he wrote.
