Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter’s Friendship Timeline

Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter’s friendship has come a long way over the years.

Before the pair became the besties they are today, Carpenter was a longtime fan of Swift. Before dropping tracks like “Nonsense” and “Espresso,” Carpenter posted covers of Swift’s songs on her YouTube page, including “Picture to Burn” and “White Horse.”

In addition to covering Swift’s music, Carpenter also attended several of Swift’s concerts. The former Disney star finally got the chance to connect with the Grammy winner backstage at one of her Reputation shows.

“She had her cats with her,” Carpenter recalled of meeting Swift for the first time in a January 2024 interview with Who What Wear. “I have older sisters, so if anything, it felt like that type of a relationship.”

After that initial meeting, the duo grew close as Carpenter began to make a name for herself in the music industry. After attending the Eras Tour herself in 2023, Carpenter was announced as one of Swift’s openers for her international leg.

‘Gilmore Girls’ Cast Reunions Through the Years: Photos

Wherever they lead, these former costars will follow! Though it’s been nearly 15 years since Gilmore Girls finished its initial run, the WB stars have remained just as tight as their characters.

Gilmore Girls originally ran for seven seasons on The WB (and later The CW) between 2000 and 2007. After the conclusion of its final season, the cast — and OG showrunners Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino — reunited to film the A Year in the Life four-episode revival series for Netflix in November 2016. The TV writers also enlisted a number of their former Gilmore stars for brief cameos on their short-lived Bunheads series and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Ventimiglia and Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) were both tapped to reunite with the Palladinos for brief arcs on the Prime Video series.

Jason Kelce’s Former Teammate Beau Allen Jokes He’s a ‘Jobless Bum’

Jason Kelce seems to have his next job lined up after retiring from the NFL, according to former teammate Beau Allen.

“Needed a ride to @Philly_Show, thankfully this jobless bum could drop me off #uberdriver,” Allen, 32, wrote via X on Saturday, March 9, sharing a selfie with Kelce, 36.

Allen, a former Philadelphia Eagles defenseman before his own retirement in 2022, wore a dark denim jacket and a coordinating baseball cap as he sat in the passenger side of a car’s front row. Kelce, meanwhile, was all smiles from the driver’s seat.

The X account for Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast cosigned the new gig. “Don’t forget 5 stars for good service,” a Saturday reply read.

Kelce retired from professional football after 13 seasons in the league earlier this week.

“Thirteen years in Philadelphia and I look back at a career full of ups and downs,” he tearfully said during a Monday, March 4, press conference. “So, this all brings us here to today. Where I announce that I am retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. And today I must admit, I am officially overrated. Vastly overrated.”

Kelce continued, “It took a lot of hardwork and determination getting here. I have been the underdog my entire career, and I mean this when I say it, I wish I still was. Few things give me such joy as proving someone wrong.”

Kelce played center for the Eagles throughout his entire NFL career.

Jason Kelce has been a fixture of the Philadelphia Eagles offense for more than a decade, but he was realistic about the idea of retirement prior to officially stepping down in March 2024. Kelce was drafted in 2011, becoming the first rookie in Eagles history to start all 16 regular season games at center. He […]

“It has always been a goal of mine to play my whole career in one city. I couldn’t have dreamt a better one and a better fit if I tried,” he added during the announcement. “I don’t know what’s next, but I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities that await, and I know that I carry with me the lessons for my time here and that forever we shall all share the bond of being Philadelphians.”

As Jason said his tearful goodbye to the Eagles, parents Donna and Ed Kelce, wife Kylie Kelce and brother Travis Kelce sat in the front row.

“You’ve always been a step ahead of me in this game … it’s always been like I’ve had that flotation device right there and to have you out of it, it feels empty,” Travis, 34, later told his older brother during the Wednesday, March 6, episode of their podcast. “And it feels like it’s complete. It was a success. It was a fun ass journey to watch. I just appreciate you showing me the way and bringing us all along the journey with you.”

The cast of The Fantastic Four is now assembled — Pedro Pascal has made sure they’re all connected, according to Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

“There is a group text,” Moss-Bachrach, 46, who will be playing Ben Grimm/The Thing in the upcoming superhero movie confirmed on Friday, February 23’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “Pedro [Pascal] started a group text a couple days ago.”

However, Moss-Bachrach, confessed it’s not been the smoothest way to communicate with Pascal, 48, (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic) or his other castmates, Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/Invisible Woman) and Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/Human Torch) because he’s not sure who has been texting what.

“I have [Pedro’s] number, so it says ‘Pedro Pascal’, and then there’s two +44 [the U.K. country code] numbers. I don’t know which one’s Vanessa and which one is Joseph,” he explained of the situation.

Moss-Bachrach went on to tell host Jimmy Kimmel that while the messages are all a big guessing game at the moment, everyone in the group chat has reached out and texted at least one thing. “Everybody’s said something! Everyone’s put a little image or a sticker or a gif or something out there, so people are invested, I guess?” he happily revealed. “No one’s being coy! Everyone showed up. It’s nice, it’s nice.”

The Fantastic Four, was originally created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby as a team of comic book superheroes, which first debuted in 1961. Over the years, those characters have been loved by millions.

While Moss-Bachrach and the rest of his cast are set to star in the 2025 Marvel movie , this actually will be the third big screen iteration of the series.

Tom Sandoval, Billie Lee’s Friendship Timeline Through the Years

Tom Sandoval and Billie Lee first became friends after the then-SUR hostess joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules.

While Sandoval has been a mainstay on the Bravo hit since its first season in 2013, Lee joined in 2018. During her debut year at SUR, Lee — who was the show’s first transgender cast member — quickly hit it off with the TomTom founder and then-girlfriend Ariana Madix. The comedian even went on an on-camera date with Ariana’s brother, Jeremy Madix.

Lee ultimately left Vanderpump Rules after season 7 over claims that she had been bullied during her reality TV stint. Despite walking away from the show, she remained close with both Sandoval and Ariana.

However, things reached a turning point in March 2023 after news broke of Sandoval and the Lifetime actress’ breakup. (Their split came shortly after it was revealed that the Missouri native had a months-long secret affair with costar Raquel Leviss.) Lee, for her part, wanted to be there for both friends — much to her former costars’ dismay.

That month, Lee was spotted hanging out with Sandoval one-on-one as Ariana unfollowed her on Instagram. In the season 10 finale, which aired in May 2023, Kent accused Sandoval of cheating with Lee years before his affair with Leviss. “We need to open that case back up. It went cold and I don’t think it needs to be cold no more,” she said.

Vanessa Bryant Reacts to Taylor Swift Wearing Kobe Quote Necklace

Taylor Swift’s sweet bond with the Bryant family will never go out of style.

While walking in New York City on Thursday, January 11, Swift, 34, accessorized her fuzzy jacket and leggings with a delicate silver necklace. The bauble was designed for Mambacita Foundation’s capsule collection with jewelry designer Zoë Chicco. Vanessa Bryant, the widow of late basketball star Kobe Bryant, had teamed up with Chicco to celebrate Kobe and daughter Gianna. (Kobe and Gianna died in January 2020 during a fatal helicopter crash. They were 41 and 13, respectively. Vanessa created nonprofit foundation Mambacita in their honor.)

Swift, for her part, opted for the collection’s round pendant that featured the words, “Bet on yourself,” which Kobe used to say frequently, surrounded by a circle of diamonds.

Vanessa, 41, shared a pic of Swift’s jewels via her Instagram Story on Friday, January 12. “Love you,” Vanessa captioned her post, adding hearts and “Swifties” stickers.

Vanessa also realized that Swift seemingly referenced Kobe’s “Bet on Yourself” mantra during her TIME Person of the Year interview.

“We met with all the studios and we met with all the streamers, and we sized up how it was perceived and valued, and if they had high hopes and dreams for it,” she told the outlet in the December 2023 profile. “Ultimately I did what I tend to do more and more often these days, which is to bet on myself.”

After realizing Swift’s Easter egg, Vanessa shared a screenshot of the TIME article on her Story. “Love you,” she wrote again.

A lasting love. Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant’s decades-long romance came to a tragic end when the NBA legend died on January 26, 2020. Despite their relationship’s heartbreaking conclusion, their romance was filled with many highs over the years. The love between Kobe and Vanessa began not long after the duo first met in November […]

Kobe’s bond with Swift goes back to 2015 when he surprised her during her 1989 Tour stop in Los Angeles. To celebrate her record 16 sold-out concerts at the Lakers’ arena, Kobe — who played his NBA career with the L.A. team — presented her with a championship banner that would hang from the rafters.

“Friends hang from time to time but banners hang forever @taylorswift,” Kobe wrote via Instagram at the time.

After Kobe and Gianna’s tragic deaths, Swift sent her condolences to Vanessa and her other three daughters. (Kobe and Vanessa also shared Natalia, Bianka and Capri.)

Vanessa and her youngest children later went to Swift’s Eras Tour concert in August 2023 when she stopped in L.A. Bianka, 6, was even gifted the “22” hat in the middle of the show, which is featured in the Grammy winner’s October 2023 concert film.

Emma Stone Jokingly Calls Taylor Swift 'Asshole' After Golden Globes

Emma Stone had some choice words for her friend Taylor Swift after the singer applauded her best actress win at the 2024 Golden Globes.

“What an asshole, am I right?” Stone, 35, joked in the press room when asked about Swift’s enthusiastic support on Sunday, January 7. “I’ve known her for almost 20 years, so I’m very happy she was there. She was also nominated tonight, so I’m very happy she was there — but what an asshole.”

Swift, 34, did not take home a Golden Globe award for her record-breaking Eras Tour concert film, which was nominated in the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category. Instead, Barbie took home that prize.

Swift and her date for the night, pal Keleigh Teller, were seen joining the standing ovation at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, clapping and cheering after Stone won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her role as Bella in Poor Things.

“For Emma, quitting acting and being a stay-at-home mom would be like cutting off one of her limbs. That’s just not her,” a source told Us in September 2023. “Acting is as vital to her as breathing, it’s a part of who she is — and Dave’s 100 percent behind her. She and Dave are happy as a couple and one of the reasons why is they respect each other as artists.”

Taylor Swift Attends Emma Stone’s ‘Poor Things’ Premiere

The pop star, 33, showed her support for her long-time BFFs by attending the premiere of their new film Poor Things at the DGA Theatre in New York City on Wednesday, December 6. The singer channeled her Reputation era for the event, donning an all-black ensemble that featured a Charlotte Simone faux fur coat, long black dress and matching heels. She topped off the look with soft face-framing curls and a bold red lip.

Stone, 35, and Qualley, 29, were also dressed to impress for their big night, with the La La Land star opting for a yellow floor-length emblazoned gown that she accessorized with a diamond-encrusted flower choker. Qualley, for her part, looked effortlessly chic in a loose-fitting sheer black gown and matching pumps.

Swift has been pals with both women for years. She bonded with Qualley, 29, after the actress began dating Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff in 2021. (The pair tied the knot earlier this year.) Swift met Stone at the 2008 Young Hollywood Awards, and the duo have been close ever since.

Friendship never goes out of style. Taylor Swift and Emma Stone have remained one of Hollywood’s closest pairs of celebrity besties over the years. The two first met at the 2008 Young Hollywood Awards. “I listened to some of her music, and I wrote her an e-mail saying I liked her music, I swear,” Stone […]

“I listened to some of her music, and I wrote her an e-mail saying I liked her music, I swear,” Stone told MTV News in April 2010 of how she and Swift first became friends. “And then we started talking and hanging out.”

Swift, meanwhile, opened up about the importance of having people she can “trust” — like her “sisters” Stone and Selena Gomez — when chatting with Access Hollywood in October 2012, sharing that the trio “had so many things in our lives that have changed over the last couple years, but our friendship has stayed the same.”

Raymond Hall/GC Images

Stone confirmed the duo’s bond was still going strong when she attended the opening night of Swift’s Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona in March. Throughout the concert, fans captured video of the Crazy, Stupid, Love actress rocking out and singing along to the Grammy winner’s biggest hits like “You Belong With Me.”

“The concert was pretty amazing,” Stone told Vanity Fair in June 2023. She confessed that Swift “hooked [her] up” when it came to securing tickets. “She’s a wonderful friend,” she added.

Some fans think Swift has even used Stone’s past romances as inspiration for her music. When Swift released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) in July — a rerecording of her 2010 album — speculation sparked over if one of the vault tracks, titled “When Emma Falls in Love,” was about Stone’s real-life relationship with ex Kieran Culkin. (The exes were linked in 2009, around when Swift likely first wrote the track.)

When Entertainment Tonight asked Stone if she was the subject of the song at Wednesday’s Poor Things premiere, she coyly replied, “You would have to ask her.”

Swift’s latest night on the town could serve as an opportunity to drop an Easter egg about her potential next rerecording. Swifties have been speculating that the singer, who was just named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year, plans to drop Reputation (Taylor’s Version), a rerelease of her 2017 sixth studio album, in the coming months.

Jennifer Garner is showing Reese Witherspoon just how much she loves her through a grand gesture — and dance moves.

“My friend Reese sent me a DM yesterday,” Garner, 51, began her video posted to Instagram on Saturday, December 2, in a joint post with the Radio City Rockettes’ official account.

The Family Switch actress then shared a screenshot of an Instagram direct message between her and Witherspoon, 47. The Morning Show star sent Garner a post from the Rockettes’ account and wrote, “Please go dance with the Rockets [sic].” Garner replied: “What would I give.”

“Little did she know I happened to be in New York,” Garner said in the video. “And, for our whole friendship, I pretty much do anything she says.”

In the next clip, the 13 Going on 30 alum showed a screenshot of the pair’s text conversation, where she sent Witherspoon a picture of her feet on top of the Radio City Music Hall doormat. “For you,” Garner wrote.

“Wait!!! What??? Am I psychic???” Witherspoon replied in a series of text messages, to which Garner said, “Nope. You manifested it.”

The following clip showed the Rockettes assembled in a single line, with each dancer moving to the side to unveil Garner, who stood in the back and strutted alongside them. Garner was all smiles as she joined the Rockettes in their famous kickline. To close the video, the Rockettes shouted “Merry Christmas, Reese!” as they waved at the camera.

“Here’s to twenty years of ‘yes ma’am,’ with my buddy @reesewitherspoon. ♥️🎄♥️ Thank you, @therockettes for playing along—you are incredible! ⭐️⭐️⭐️” Garner captioned her post.

Witherspoon, for her part, gushed about her pal’s sweet gesture, taking to her Instagram Story to write that Garner made her “whole holiday season.”

“Ummm…. This might be the greatest gift I’ve ever received from this glorious, joy-seeking / dance-loving woman! Jen, you made my whole holiday season 🥰❤️💫🎁” Witherspoon captioned her own Instagram post on Saturday, alongside the video.

John Stamos and Lori Loughlin Reunite for ‘Beckham’ Dance Trend

John Stamos and Lori Loughlin have a friendship like none other — and their latest reunion is further proof.

Stamos, 60, tackled the now-viral TikTok trend from Netflix’s Beckham on Friday, November 17, with Loughlin, 59, by his side. The former Full House costars adorably danced to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream” duet — just like David Beckham and Victoria Beckham did to close out their Netflix doc.

In Beckham, David, 48, and Victoria, 49, were seen grooving together in their kitchen in the final scene of the four-part documentary series, which dropped last month. “Islands in the Stream” played in the background, as Victoria placed her hand on David’s back. The video has since gone viral on social media, with many couples — including Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick — trying to pass the “Beckham test.”

On Friday, it was Stamos and Loughlin’s turn. Stamos, wearing a brown two-piece, kicked off the clip solo as he danced in his backyard while singing along to the track. The camera panned to reveal Loughlin standing behind Stamos before she joined in on the fun. As Loughlin started to feel the beat, Stamos couldn’t help but chuckle and pointed at her spot-on attempt.

Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps, for instance, met while filming Dawson’s Creek. The Oscar nominee starred as Jen […]

“How’d we do?” Stamos captioned his TikTok post.

Stamos and Loughlin initially met when they were cast as love interests Jesse Katsapolis and Rebecca Donaldson, respectively, on Full House, which aired from 1987 to 1995. By the end of the sitcom’s run — and its Netflix spinoff, Fuller House, which ran from 2016 to 2020 — Jesse and Rebecca were happily married with three kids. (The TV characters welcomed twins Nicky and Alex during the OG series before adopting daughter Pamela in the revival.)

Working together soon sparked a lifelong friendship between Stamos and Loughlin.

“She’s my Sandra Dee from Grease, the good girl with a kind heart who always makes me feel upbeat when I’m around her,” Stamos gushed of Loughlin in his memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, which was released in October. “She’s one of the few women I have spent day after day with and still always look forward to seeing her again. I know what makes her laugh, we get each other and we have the sort of true friendship that’s supposed to be the foundation of a great, lasting relationship.”

While Stamos admitted in his book that he thought about dating Loughlin, they never did. He went on to marry Rebecca Romijn in 1998 before they split in 2004. Stamos later wed Caitlin McHugh in 2018 before they welcomed son Billy, now 5, two months later.

Loughlin, for her part, has been married to Mossimo Giannulli since 1997. They share daughters Isabella, 25, and Olivia Jade, 24.

“To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one-night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story,” Cox explained. “In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say.

He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind. 🤍🕊️.”

Cox shared the scene that viewers saw back in 1998 when Ross comes into Chandler’s room to tell him he’s getting married that day. Under the covers, Monica is hiding and once Ross leaves she pops up and says, “Do you think he knew I was here?”

In the deleted scene — which only the cast and crew saw — Monica stayed cozied up to Chandler and quipped, “OK, your turn!” before sliding back under the covers.

“We’re kidding. He told me to say it … he did!” Cox told the cameras as she held back a laugh and Perry smiled at her in the bed.

The sweet moment is just one of many the twosome shared while playing the onscreen love interests. Friends ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004.

Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox’s chemistry as Chandler Bing and Monica Geller on Friends was so strong that many fans wondered if the actors had an offscreen romantic connection. Despite falling in love and getting married on the NBC sitcom, Perry and Cox’s real-world relationship was always platonic. In fact, Perry and Cox gave fans […]

Two days after Perry’s passing, the core cast of Friends, Cox, Schwimmer, 57, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc, paid tribute to their longtime pal.

“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” the actors said in a joint statement to Us Weekly on October 30. “There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”

The statement continued: “In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”

Matthew Perry never shied away from opening up about his struggles after rising to stardom for his role as Chandler Bing in Friends. “When [fame] happens, it’s kind of like Disneyland for a while. For me it lasted about eight months, this feeling of ‘I’ve made it, I’m thrilled, there’s no problem in the world.’ […]

Hours prior to Cox’s look back at her time with Perry, LeBlanc, 56, shared his own message of love for their late friend.

“Matthew, It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life,” LeBlanc wrote via Instagram on Tuesday alongside photos from their time as TV roommates Joey Tribbiani and Chandler. “It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never.”

Billie Eilish Says She Feels ‘Very Protective’ Over Olivia Rodrigo

As two of the biggest names in pop, Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo could have a major rivalry, but instead, they’ve developed a supportive friendship.

“I think everybody’s experiences are so individual,” Eilish, 21, said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times published on Tuesday, November 14. “Nobody has had anybody else’s life, you know? But I do feel a protectiveness over Olivia.”

Eilish went on to confess that she even drew inspiration from Rodrigo, 20, for a song on her 2021 album, Happier Than Ever.

“I have a song called ‘Goldwing’ from my last album that’s kind of about her,” Eilish shared. “I’ve never said that to anyone. It’s not only about her. I was just thinking about her when I was writing it. She was coming up, and she was younger than me, and nobody had ever been younger than me.”

In “Goldwing,” Eilish included lines from a hymn she sang as a child in the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus: “They’re gonna tell you what you want to hear / Then they’re gonna disappear / Gonna claim you like a souvenir / Just to sell you in a year.”

“Olivia was getting big, and she was just, like, this little dainty child,” Eilish said. “I felt so nervous. I was worried about her. She came up in that acting world, and people are so weird. I don’t know — I just felt very protective over her. And I feel that way to everyone.”

Eilish went on to note that she feels the same way about Ariana Greenblatt, who played Sasha, the daughter of America Ferrera’s character, in Barbie. “She’s 16, and I literally want to cry about her sometimes,” Eilish confessed.

“I just see myself in all these young girls,” she continued. “And it’s the girls, man. Boys can handle themselves. They’re dudes — they don’t have to deal with it like we do. I just want to hold everybody in a little glass box and never let anything touch them.”

Kelsea Ballerini Loves Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Offstage Kiss

We love love — and so does Taylor Swift’s friend Kelsea Ballerini.

“Me watching our boy Travis [Kelce] show up for our girl Taylor,” Ballerini, 30, captioned a Sunday, November 12, TikTok video of herself clapping. “2023 [is] the year of running offstage and kissing our men. Let’s gooo.”

After Swift’s Saturday, November 11, concert in Buenos Aires, she waved to fans as she walked offstage before noticing Kelce, 34, standing with his hands behind his back next to a black tent. The moment that Swift, 34, noticed Kelce, she sprinted down the walkway. When she made it to the NFL star, Swift wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.

Taylor also gave Kelce — who watched the show from the VIP tent next to her dad, Scott Swift — a low-key shout-out. “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” she sang during “Karma,” tweaking the line from “guy on the screen” to “guy on the Chiefs” based on Kelce’s football team.

Taylor and Kelce have been linked since September, and he was overcome with emotion after hearing Taylor’s lyric change. During the concert, per social media footage, Kelce held his head in his hands and blushed at the call-out.

Ballerini, for her part, was seriously excited to see her pal’s unapologetic PDA. “2023 [is] really doing us right. Am I right?” she quipped in her caption.

Ballerini has also had a memorable year, going public with boyfriend Chase Stokes in January. Nearly five months later, they also packed on the PDA during a gig. In June, Ballerini ran off stage in the middle of her Heartfirst Tour during the interlude of “Penthouse,” the song she penned about her 2022 divorce from Morgan Evans. Ballerini sprinted to the side of the stage to where Stokes, 31, was waiting.

They shared a sweet kiss before she returned to the stage. “I kissed someone new last night,” she continued in the song, pointing at the Outer Banks actor.

Ballerini has been friends with Taylor for years, even joining her onstage for a duet during Taylor’s 1989 tour in 2015. Plus, she met Kelce for the first time in February when they made their Saturday Night Live debuts together. (Ballerini was the musical guest of the episode that Kelce hosted.)

“I ship happiness!” Ballerini quipped to Access Hollywood in September. “Whoever is happy with whoever is what I ship. I adore Taylor. I adore Travis. So if they’re happy, I ship it. Period.”

Taylor Swift Sent Kelly Clarkson Flowers After ‘1989’ Rerecording

Kelly Clarkson Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images for Audacy

Kelly Clarkson knows it’s nice to have a friend like Taylor Swift.

“She just sent me flowers,” Clarkson, 41, told E! News in an interview published on Thursday, November 9. “She’s so nice. She did. She was like, ‘Every time I release something’ — because she just did 1989. I got that really cute cardigan, too.”

Swift’s kind gesture is likely a thank you of sorts. In 2019, Swift’s masters were infamously sold to Scooter Braun’s media company, Ithaca Holdings, by the singer’s former label Big Machine Records for $300 million. Through the deal, Braun, 42, became the owner of Swift’s first six albums with Big Machine Records: her self-titled debut, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989 and Reputation. (They were later sold to Shamrock Holdings.)

At the time, Swift publicly condemned the sale and claimed that she had been asking to buy her masters for years but wasn’t given the opportunity. After news of Braun’s sale made headlines, it was Clarkson who took to social media to suggest a way Swift could take back her music.

Related: Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun’s Bad Blood: A Complete Timeline

The bad blood between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun has inspired song lyrics, forced celebrities to take sides and incurred the wrath of Swifties. The drama came to a head in June 2019 when it was announced that Braun’s media company, Ithaca Holdings, had acquired Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine Label Group for $300 million. Through […]

“Just a thought, U should go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on exactly how U did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions,” she wrote via X (formerly Twitter) in July 2019. “I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point.”

Four months later, Swift revealed her plans to rerelease her music and has since dropped four of the six albums: Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version), and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), dropped in April 2021, October 2021 and July 2023, respectively, while 1989 (Taylor’s Version) hit shelves last month.

While speaking to E! On Thursday, Clarkson praised Swift’s kindness and intelligence and maintained that the Grammy winner would have come up with the idea to rerecord on her own.

“She’s a very smart businesswoman. So, she would have thought of that,” Clarkson said. “But it just sucks when you see artists that you admire and you respect really wanting something and it’s special to them. You know if they’re going to find a loophole, you find a loophole. And she did it and literally is, like, the best-selling artist I feel like of all-time now.”

Clarkson also gushed over Swift’s fanbase — known as Swifties — getting behind the project to support her. “She’s known for being such an incredible songwriter and the soundtrack to a lot of people’s lives and that’s her life,” she continued. “So you should have the option of owning that.”

Swift’s rerecordings have certainly seen their fair share of success. She earned the biggest sales week of her career after the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which earned 1,653 million equivalent album units in the United States its debut week, according to Billboard, and 3.5 million around the world, according to her label, Republic Records. 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is also Swift’s 13th No. 1 album and her sixth to have more than a million sales in a single week.

In addition to rerecording her music, Swift has also been busy selling out stadiums on her Eras Tour, which kicked off its international leg in Argentina on Thursday. Meanwhile, the sales from her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, shot her into billionaire status, according to a Bloomberg News Analysis last month.

Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes and Sophie Turner Enjoy Night Out in NYC

Gotham/GC Images

Taylor Swift enjoyed a Saturday night out with Brittany Mahomes and Sophie Turner.

The singer, 33, was photographed in New York City on Saturday, November 4, as she headed to dinner with her two pals. Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid arrived separately.

Swift embraced a “deep fall” look with a black long-sleeved top, pleated tweed miniskirt and black thigh-high boots. Mahomes, 28, wore a navy corseted navy jumpsuit with a white coat over her shoulders. Turner, 27, rocked a turquoise plaid blazer over light wash jeans and matching bright blue heels.

Swift and Mahomes have become fast friends amid the Grammy winners romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Brittany has been married to quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is one of Kelce’s pals, since March 2022 and shares daughter Sterling, 2, and son Bronze, 12 months, with the NFL star.

“Brittany is thrilled to be building a genuine friendship with Taylor. They’ve hung out a couple of times and have grown fairly close in a short period of time,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly in October. “Brittany thinks Taylor is so sweet, and down to earth, and they get along really great.”

The source continued, “The fact that Patrick and Travis are best friends makes things even better. They’re having a blast and love cheering on their men together.”

Taylor Swift’s game game outfits are the definition of trendy and festive. Swift started attending Kansas City Chiefs games in September 2023 amid her budding romance with tight end Travis Kelce. From official Chiefs gear to miniskirts and leather jackets, Swift has been supporting her beau in style. At the Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Chargers […]

Brittany was first spotted hanging out with Swift and Turner during a September girl’s night out with Blake Lively ahead of a Chiefs v. New York Jets game. The following day, the ladies cheered on the team alongside Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, Sabrina Carpenter and Hugh Jackman.

Swift and the Kansas City Current co-owner reunited to cheered on the Chiefs at the October 22 game at Arrowhead Stadium. The new friends showed off their touchdown celebration handshake after the Chiefs scored a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers, and Swift sent her new squad member a 1989 sweater days later to celebrate her re-released album.

Their latest outing comes as Brittany hit the Big Apple with several other wives of Chiefs players. She enjoyed afternoon tea at the iconic Plaza Hotel with Paige Buechele, wife of quarterback Shane Buechele, and Lindsay Bell, wife of tight end Blake Bell.

While the women are enjoying New York City, the NFL players are preparing for a big game in Germany. The Chiefs are set to take on the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany, which will start at 9:30 a.m. ET.

With about 12 hours until kickoff, it seems safe to say that Swift likely isn’t heading to Europe to watch Kelce play. However, the tight end played coy during a Friday, November 3, press conference when asked if Swift would attend.

“When I mention — or everyone knows — she’s at the game, the Vegas [line] and over-under on my catches goes up and down,” Kelce, 34, quipped. “The spread goes up and down. So I don’t want to mess with any of that stuff. I’m just going to keep that to myself.”

The numbers don’t lie. After the Chiefs’ victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on October 22, NFL broadcasters even pointed out that Kelce has fared better when Swift was spotted in the crowds versus when he’s “left to his own devices.” (The latter being a reference to her 2022 song “Anti-Hero.”) The team lost the October 29 game against the Denver Broncos, which Swift did not attend.

Kelce also stayed tight-lipped when asked if he was falling in love with the “Midnights” singer. “The latest status is I got to see her last week. That’s the latest status right there,” he told reporters on Friday. “I’m going to keep my personal relationship personal.”

Summer House’s Carl Radke, Kyle Cooke Quotes About Loverboy, Drama

Summer House’s Carl Radke and Kyle Cooke’s reality TV bromance has been going strong since at least 2016 — but it hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

Fans met the duo when Summer House premiered in 2017 after filming the prior summer. As their friendship grew, Carl eventually came to work for Kyle at Loverboy in 2019, which Kyle founded one year prior.

When Kyle married their Bravo costar Amanda Batula in 2021, Carl served as their officiant. However, the longtime friends hit a bump in the road the following summer when Carl’s relationship with Lindsay Hubbard accelerated — the two got engaged in August 2022 before splitting one year later — and he chose to leave Loverboy.

“I love being around Kyle. I care about him and I love him but it’s been hard. I’m not gonna lie. We’re gonna navigate it the best we can,” Carl exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2023, noting that their business relationship had begun to affect their friendship.

Beyonce Sends Kim Kardashian Birthday Flowers

Kevin Mazur/WireImage

Beyoncé put her love on top when it came to celebrating Kim Kardashian.

Kardashian, 43, took to social media on Tuesday, October 24, to share all the bouquets of flowers she received for her birthday from her family and friends — including one from Beyoncé herself.

“Kim, Have a beautiful birthday,” the singer, 42, who also sent a gorgeous arrangement of white flowers, wrote on a card. “Hope you are surrounded by joy. All my love, B.”

Kardashian’s two oldest children — daughter North, 10, and son Saint, 10, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West — sent bouquets as well, along with pals Vanessa Bryant and Simon Huck. (Kardashian and West are also parents of daughter Chicago, 5, and son Psalm, 3.)

On Kim’s actual birthday — which was Saturday, October 21 — she celebrated at Funke restaurant in Beverly Hills with sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. Mom Kris Jenner was also in attendance alongside other A-listers like Hailey Bieber, Kimora Lee Simmons, Ivanka Trump and more.

Beyoncé may not have made an appearance at the star-studded bash, but she certainly wanted Kardashian to feel the love. The women have been friends for years, but hit a snag in 2016 when West, 46, made headlines for blasting the Grammy winner and her husband, Jay-Z, during a Sacramento concert.

At the time, West alleged that Queen Bey only agreed to perform at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards if she won Video of the Year for “Formation.” West also called out Jay Z, 53, for not returning his phone calls after Kim’s was robbed in Paris earlier that month, saying, “Jay Z, call me, bruh. You still ain’t called me. Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man.”

Jay-Z addressed West’s claims during an appearance on the “Rap Radar” podcast that August, revealing that his major issue stemmed from West mentioning Beyoncé on stage. (In addition to Blue Ivy, now 11, Beyoncé and Jay-Z share twins Rumi and Sur, whom they welcomed in June 2017.)

“But what really hurt me was, you can’t bring my kid or my wife into it,” he explained. “Kanye’s my little brother. He’s talked about me 100 times. He made a song called ‘Big Brother.’ We’ve gotten past bigger issues. But you brought my family into it, now it’s a problem with me. That’s a real, real problem. And he knows it’s a problem.”

The “99 Problems” rapper added that West “knows that he crossed the line” and that West will “say things and he’s wrong a lot of times and he’ll confront it.”

In 2017, West parted ways with Jay-Z’s streaming platform, Tidal, over a money dispute after he claimed he was owed a bonus for bringing 1.5 million new subscribers to the platform. The following year, Jay-Z explained that he and West have a “complicated relationship” on an appearance of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, saying the duo were “beyond friends.” ”

“It’s still your sibling forever, it’s my brother. We don’t come from the same mom and dad but I watched Kanye from without an album,” he explained during the April 2018 interview. “The thing I respect about him is that he’s the same person. He interrupted our studio session and stood on the table and started rapping, and we were like, ‘Could you please get down?’ And he was like, ‘No! I am the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record.”

Kim’s sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner […]

After multiple reports that West was planning to sue Jay-Z, a source exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2019 that the twosome — along with Kardashian and Beyoncé — hung out together in the VIP section of the party at Diddy’s 50th birthday party earlier that month. “They greeted each other and seemed friendly and happy to see each other. The Carters and the Wests were all in a section behind Diddy and his family,” the insider said at the time.

Sister Wives’ Christine Brown Wants Janelle Brown ‘Out of Flagstaff’

Christine Brown, Janelle Brown. Discovery (2)

In the latest season 18 episode of Sister Wives, Christine Brown begged for Janelle Brown to throw in the towel with Kody Brown — and move away from Flagstaff, Arizona.

“I don’t know where it stands with Kody and Janelle,” Christine, 51, confessed in the Sunday, October 22, episode of the TLC series, which picked up filming in spring 2023.

As Christine and Janelle, 54, reunited to celebrate Easter with their kids, Janelle made it clear that she is ready to move forward. However, she appeared to drag her feet about possibly moving closer to Christine in Utah. (Christine split from Kody, 54, in November 2021. She married David Woolley on October 7. Janelle, meanwhile, confirmed in December 2022 that she and Kody had separated.)

Just like sisters! Christine Brown and Janelle Brown formed a strong friendship before — and after — their respective splits from Kody Brown. Kody’s polygamist family rose to prominence after the 2010 premiere of Sister Wives. The TLC series follows the Wyoming native and his 18 children, whom he shares with four different women, as […]

“We need to have traditions that carry this part of the family forward. We need to continue traditions or reestablish traditions that have meaning for her children and mine so that there’s an identity,” Janelle said in a confessional, referring to her and Christine’s combined 12 children.

Janelle later told the cameras, “I’m not really missing Kody. I’m not missing [my other sister wives] Robyn and Meri [Brown]. I’m finding a lot of peace, maybe the most peace I’ve felt in a long time, at this holiday.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Janelle confided in Christine while she was in Arizona for a July visit. “I’m struggling a little bit because I don’t miss him,” Janelle said at the time.

Janelle then admitted that she was relieved that following her birthday dinner with Kody in May he didn’t come into her house. “I was really happy to just be like, ‘Hey, see ya.’ As he drove away to Robyn’s house and I went into my apartment,” she explained.

That series of events, however, caused Christine to worry about her longtime friend and sister wife. “The more I hear, the more I am just so sad for her to be honest with you. She’s my friend and I want to see her happy,” Christine told the cameras. “Not living this life where her husband takes her out for her birthday and drops her off at home and goes to his wife.”

A frustrated Christine revealed in her confessional that she wished Janelle would “call it like it is and get out of Flagstaff! Sorry, this is just sad.”

Janelle, meanwhile, insisted that she is “fine” with her relationship — or lack thereof — with Kody. “We’re not reconciling. I’m not hoping he’s coming around. I’m not going to settle for less than I deserve. … I’m taking it for myself. I’m doing more,” she argued.

Furthermore, Janelle told Christine that her and Kody’s December 2022 fight “was the end of our relationship, our marriage, effectively.” She shared, “I’m more at peace when he’s not around.”

Sister Wives‘ Janelle Brown and Kody Brown’s plural marriage was anything but conventional ahead of their 2022 split. Janelle and Kody’s lives were intertwined well before they spiritually tied the knot in 1993. Janelle’s late mom, Sheryl Brown, and Kody’s dad, William Winn Brown, were married for years before William’s death in 2013, making the eventual […]

That confirmation only strengthened Christine’s resolve to get Janelle to a place where she fully leaves Kody and their life in Flagstaff behind.

“She deserves to have someone who loves her, who’s not going to have, what does [Janelle] say … friends with benefits? That’s not a marriage,” Christine told the cameras, noting that she’s worried Kody will “just continue to give her scraps.”

In addition to his broken relationships with Christine and Janelle, Kody and first wife Meri, 52, confirmed in January that they parted ways romantically. Meri has since relocated her clothing business to Utah where her family’s bed and breakfast is situated. Kody and fourth wife Robyn, 45, are still legally married and living full time in Arizona.

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes Share Touchdown Handshake

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes (née Matthews) look like fast friends — and they now have a handshake to prove it.

The pair showed off their new celebration routine after the Kansas City Chiefs scored a touchdown in the second quarter of the game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, October 22. Swift returned to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on new beau, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — marking her fourth appearance at his games.

This isn’t the only time that Swift and Brittany, 28, — who’s married to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes — have been seen celebrating the team. When Kelce, 34, caught a 20-yard pass during the second quarter against the Denver Broncos on October 12, the duo shared a sweet hug.

Their friendship seems to transcend cheering on their partners, too. Swift and Brittany enjoyed a girl’s night out with Blake Lively and Sophie Turner in New York City last month ahead of the Chiefs v. New York Jets game. The next day, the group supported the team alongside Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, Sabrina Carpenter and Hugh Jackman.

Sydney Sweeney Sends Glen Powell Sweet Birthday Message

Sydney Sweeney shared a sweet birthday message to her Anyone But You costar Glen Powell.

“Happy birthday to my fellow camp counselor, adventure extraordinaire, and goof ball,” the Euphoria star, 26, wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, October 21. Sweeney, who was named one of Us Weekly’s Breakout Style Stars of 2023, included the message alongside a selfie of the pair smiling while wearing sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats.

Sweeney and Powell, 35, filmed their upcoming romantic comedy, Anyone But You, in Australia at the beginning of the year. The costars made headlines after fans started to question if the romance carried over offscreen.
