The Singer’s Parents and Sibling

Taylor Swift’s family may not be as famous as she is — but they’re pretty close to it.
The singer’s parents, Andrea and Scott Swift — who got married in 1988 — have become key members of the Swiftie fandom, while her brother, Austin Swift, is making a name for himself in Hollywood.
Taylor, for her part, referred to her parents as “unbelievable” for supporting her career during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning in 2019. Her family uprooted their lives in Pennsylvania and moved to Tennessee all in support of Taylor’s singing career.
“I buy them lots of presents,” Taylor joked when discussing how she thanks her family and brother.
Andrea, for her part, recalled the Swift family’s move to Tennessee, noting that it wasn’t about Taylor “making it” in the music industry.
“What a horrible thing if it hadn’t happened, for her to carry that kind of guilt or pressure around,” Andrea told Entertainment Weekly in 2008. “We’ve always told her that this is not about putting food on our table or making our dreams come true. There would always be an escape hatch into normal life if she decided this wasn’t something she had to pursue.”
Of course, that wasn’t at all the path that Taylor took. Various Grammy Award wins and multiple sold out tours later, the “Cardigan” singer has reached an untouchable level of fame — and her family is still by her side.

Andrea Swift
Andrea used to work as a marketing manager at an advertising agency but has always been Taylor’s No. 1 fan. Now, she’s often spotted backstage during her daughter’s sold out tour dates and often interacts with fans.
Over the years, Taylor has written multiple songs about her mom — “The Best Day” and “Soon You’ll Get Better.” The latter is about Andrea’s cancer battles. Taylor first revealed her mom’s cancer in 2015, writing a letter to her fans on Tumblr. Andrea’s second cancer diagnosis came years later in 2019 and a year later, Taylor revealed that her mother had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
“Everyone loves their mom; everyone’s got an important mom,” Taylor told Variety in 2020. “But for me, she’s really the guiding force. Almost every decision I make, I talk to her about it first. So obviously it was a really big deal to ever speak about her illness.”
Scott Swift
Scott originally worked as a stockbroker and eventually became Vice President for Merrill Lynch. He definitely has the supportive (and embarrassing) father role on lock. In March 2023, Taylor shared a photo of the backstage pass” that Scott had designed himself.
“D.O.H. Pass (Dad of Headliner),” his lanyard read. Taylor posted a picture on Instagram, writing, “Made my Dad’s tour credential. We are a small family business.”
From cowboy boots to Jimmy Choos! Taylor Swift has come a long way since her days as Nashville’s teen queen. Since moving to the Big Apple in March 2014 and embracing the city’s trendy style, the “Blank Space” singer became more fashion-forward than ever. See the pop singer’s amazing red carpet transformation through the years!
Scott has also been through a cancer battle as well.
“Both of my parents have had cancer, and my mom is now fighting her battle with it again,” Taylor told Elle in 2019. “It’s taught me that there are real problems and then there’s everything else.”
Austin Swift
Austin graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2015 and has a budding career in the entertainment industry. Not only has he acted in a few TV and movie roles — I.T., Breaking for Whales and We Summon the Darkness, among others — but Austin is often listed as a producer on some of his sister’s projects.
“It is a singularly beautiful thing to see magic right in front of your eyes. After nearly three decades of that happening time and time again, the effect hasn’t worn off,” Austin wrote on Instagram of Taylor in December 2018. “I have always had a best friend, a role model, and a caring, tireless, dedicated champion in my corner. You have pulled me out of fires and carried me up mountains. The gift of getting to witness you become the wonderful person you are today has been the greatest privilege and honor of my life.”
When Taylor married Travis Kelce in 2026, Austin served as her “Man of Honor” in lieu of a formal bridal party.

Love Island USA‘s Parmida Keshani and Corbin Mims shut down the insinuation that they were in a shallow relationship.
During the Friday, July 3, episode of the hit Peacock show, each couple had to nominate two pairs who were not compatible. Kenzie Annis and Dylan Wrona questioned Parmida and Corbin’s connection after only hearing him praise his partner in a physical sense.
Kenzie specifically said Corbin and Parmida were in a “lustful relationship,” with Parmida saying, “I definitely disagree. From the outside, it might look that way to you because we are both very good looking and we both workout.”
Some of the other couples laughed as Corbin and Parmida continued to defend themselves.
“We know that about ourselves. So it might seem that way but we can get deep and serious too,” she continued. “You just haven’t seen that because you aren’t in our chats.”
Corbin’s return to the villa hasn’t been easy after finding a connection with Parmida in Casa Amor. Their recoupling initially sparked backlash when Kenzie publicly dragged him for not considering her when he went to explore his chemistry with other women.
Earlier in the week, Corbin revealed there were “red flags” he didn’t address with Kenzie. This inspired Corbin to explore his options — and he later told the guys he “hasn’t thought” of Kenzie at all.
Love Island USA originally premiered in the U.K. in 2002 before it expanded worldwide with various spinoffs, including Love Island USA on Peacock. The series follows a different group of singles every season who have to pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa.
The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa and are under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and stand a chance at receiving the $100,000 prize.
Season 8 escalated the sex that took place in the villa with multiple couples going all the way while sharing a bedroom in the villa. The drama escalated with Casa Amor when the new women discussed which guys they thought would pair off with them before returning to the villa.
They poked fun at Kenzie’s possible reaction to Parmida walking in with Corbin.
“Kenzie just likes anyone who likes her,” Parmida said after the rest of the women made fun of how Kenzie spoke to Corbin.
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

Animation is a medium, not a genre, and it’s a medium perfectly suited for some of the most bonkers, wildly over-the-top TV shows that the small screen has ever seen. After all, the fact that animation throughout history has allowed creators almost infinite visual creativity has obviously resulted in several creators taking full advantage of that fact to deliver some truly wild shows.
Whether it’s an animated series for kids, like the aptly-titled Bonkers; or one that’s definitely not for kids, like Frisky Dingo, the most bonkers animated TV shows in history are proof of why cartoons are worthy of significantly more respect than they tend to get nowadays. What other medium could possibly be able to deliver experiences this delightfully wacky? Even though these shows have been forgotten over the years, they should all be considered essential viewing for fans of over-the-top television.
10
‘Bonkers’ (1993–1994)
There are very few shows in the Disney Channel’s catalog more fittingly titled than Bonkers, a spin-off of Raw Toonage‘s short series He’s Bonkers. Heavily inspired by the success of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, this is just as bonkers an animated experience, telling the story of the titular out-of-work toon, who joins the Hollywood Police Department to help his partners catch animated criminals.
Virtually anyone who loves Roger Rabbit is pretty much guaranteed to love Bonkers just as much. Blending surreal slapstick with elements of the detective procedural genre in ways as kooky as they are entertaining, it’s one of the most irresistibly fun cartoons in the Disney Channel’s history. It has heart, it has some fantastic animation, and it has plenty of exquisite cartoonish world-building.
9
‘The Maxx’ (1995)
MTV broke plenty of new ground in adult-oriented animated television during the ’90s. This included the creation of Oddities, a label for Eric Fogel‘s The Head and Sam Kieth‘s The Maxx. As great as the former is, it’s the latter that’s one of the best animated shows you’ve never heard of, based on Kieth’s own exceptional comic book series. It’s about The Maxx, a superhero trying to protect his friend from an omniscient serial killer both in the real world and in a subconscious fantasy world.
Disguising a profound, admirably mature psychological drama about trauma behind a gritty superhero narrative, The Maxx is one of the most criminally underrated animated superhero shows in history. That psychological depth that makes it feel like a deep dive into the human subconscious comes with an air of surrealism that makes it a must-see for all those who love head-scratchingly bizarre shows.
8
‘Mr. Pickles’ (2014–2019)
There are some shows whose bonkers nature becomes abundantly clear from the moment one hears their premise, and the Adult Swim forgotten classic Mr. Pickles is definitely one such show. It’s one of the best body horror and slasher shows that animation has ever produced, about a family who lives with a deviant Border Collie with a secret Satanic streak.
Thankfully, Mr. Pickles lives up to the wildness of its premise at every turn of each of its four seasons. It was always the intention for the show to combine the charm and nostalgia of a ’50s family sitcom with some of the most subversive shock humor, gore, and surreal absurdity imaginable, and for people who love that kind of thing, Mr. Pickles should hit the spot easily.
7
‘Sym-Bionic Titan’ (2010–2011)
Even though it was created by Genndy Tartakovsky, one of the biggest names in the history of televisual animation, Sym-Bionic Titan has somehow still managed to slip under most animation fans’ radars as the years have passed since its cancellation. It’s one of those obscure animated shows that became cult classics, one that everyone who loves animation—regardless of whether they love Tartakovsky—should consider checking out. In it, three young aliens with the ability to form a giant robotic warrior try to blend into suburbia.
“Bonkers” is a word that would very fittingly describe a decent majority of Tartakovsky’s work across television and the big screen, but it applies to Sym-Bionic Titan with particular glee. Part mecha action extravaganza, part John Hughes-esque high school teen drama, it’s a genre-bending trip full of fast-paced animation and mature themes.
6
‘Frisky Dingo’ (2006–2008)
Those who love bonkers animation should already know that Adult Swim is typically the place to go when looking for one such show. But even by the network’s sky-high standards of hilarious absurdity, Frisky Dingo is particularly bizarre. Even the synopsis of this sci-fi farce is hard to explain, but in broad strokes, it’s all about a philandering billionaire playboy who moonlights as a superhero, as he faces his nemesis while balancing his business and his superhero life.
It’s one of the best animated series for adults, a gleeful deconstruction of the pre-MCU superhero genre that feels even timelier and more relevant today than it did back in the late 2000s. With its frantically paced, hilariously nonsensical plotlines, its absurd visuals, and its rapid-fire dialogue, it’s one of the most chaotic comedies that animation has ever produced for the small screen.
5
‘Turbo Teen’ (1984)
From the moment one hears Turbo Teen‘s mere synopsis, it becomes abundantly clear why it’s one of the most bonkers cartoons of the 20th century: It’s all about a teen who gets into an accident and then gains the ability to transform into a crime-fighting sports car when it’s hot. It’s a genuinely wild premise to make a show out of, so (perhaps needless to say) the show failed to capture an audience.
Even still, its brief 13 episodes are worth watching today if only to admire how anyone could have come up with an animated show so bonkers. It’s a Knight Rider rip-off that almost borders on qualifying as kid-friendly body horror, and as if that weren’t enough reason for an animation fan’s morbid curiosity to be piqued, there’s also the writing so nonsensical that it’s practically surreal.
4
‘Freakazoid!’ (1995–1997)
Executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Freakazoid! is one of those forgotten cartoons that are still worth watching. It follows the adventures of Washington, D.C.’s brand-new defender, a geeky teenager who absorbs the entire cyberspace after a freak accident and gains superhuman cartoon powers. It’s the sort of premise that would feel right at home in even the wildest of Looney Tunes stories.
Clearly a response to the chaos and mayhem of the early rise of the Internet and the digital frontier during the mid-’90s, Freakazoid! is as surreal, absurd, manic, and eager to break the fourth wall as any fan of a character like Deadpool could possibly hope for an animated superhero show to be. Written like a stream of consciousness and full of meta humor, it’s the peak of what superhero comedies had to offer during the ’90s.
3
‘The Pirates of Dark Water’ (1991–1992)
Produced by Hanna-Barbera, The Pirates of Dark Water is a dark fantasy swashbuckling adventure like no other. In it, a young man learns that he’s a prince, one with an urgent quest to save his world by finding 13 magical treasures. What ensues is one of the best forgotten fantasy shows of the ’90s, a highly ambitious serialized story with some of the most groundbreaking animation of any ’90s cartoon.
It was also a genre-bending and incredibly bonkers show, though, an unprecedented mixture of high fantasy, swashbuckling pirates, cosmic horror, and science fiction. The world of Mer is wonderfully surreal and full of over-the-top world-building, inhabited by a delectably odd ensemble of characters who never fail to get into all sorts of entertaining situations.
2
‘Megas XLR’ (2004–2005)
The slacker genre, spanning both cinema and music, peaked around the mid- to late-’90s. Megas XLR is both an homage to and a parody of not just the slacker genre, but also the mecha genre. Its story follows two teenage slackers who find a mecha from the future that had been lying in a New Jersey junkyard for almost 60 years.
Megas XLR is one of those classic 2000s cartoons that is ready for a reboot, but for the moment, the original should be more than enough to satisfy fans of animated sci-fi and bonkers comedies. Also inspired by video games and heavy metal, Megas XLR feels like a delightful hotchpotch of styles, tones, and influences that always blend together in all the most enjoyably over-the-top ways.
1
‘Æon Flux‘ (1991–1995)
Premiering on MTV’s experimental animation showcase Liquid Television, Æon Flux instantly cemented its place as one of the greatest experimental animated shows of the ’90s. Today, those lucky few who have actually seen it still tend to regard it as one of the best of all time. This avant-garde masterpiece follows a secret agent from an anarchic society who repeatedly infiltrates a heavily surveilled neighboring state.
It’s one of those sci-fi shows that gets better every episode, though it also gets more bonkers every episode. Created by Peter Chung as a very intentional subversion of every established rule of 1990s American television, Æon Flux has aged like fine wine. Visually surreal, psychologically tense, and masterfully genre-bending, it may be disorienting at times, but it’s also an undeniable masterpiece.
When it comes to police procedurals and cop shows on streaming, few franchises have developed as big of an audience as Bosch. On the back of major star Titus Welliver, who has also gone on to feature in other projects like Dark Winds and The Westies, Bosch ran for seven seasons on its way to becoming one of the most popular shows in Prime Video history. Only one year after the show went off the air, Welliver returned as Harry Bosch in a sequel series, Bosch: Legacy. Fans were certain that Bosch: Legacy was going to be on the air for years, but Prime Video made the stunning decision to cancel the show after three seasons and focus on the Ballard spin-off. The latest offshoot stars Maggie Q, who was introduced in the final season of Bosch: Legacy.
Prime Video isn’t entirely done with Welliver’s Bosch, though, as he did return last year in the first season of Ballard. Prime Video has renewed Ballard for Season 2, and it’s also been reported that the show’s sophomore season will stream sometime this month, meaning a trailer is likely imminent. Welliver has also confirmed that Harry Bosch will have a small role in Ballard Season 2, meaning that fans will see his Bosch return to Prime Video soon. Welliver has also shared that he’s had discussions with Prime Video about returning as Bosch in another show, but nothing concrete has been decided. The Bosch superstar has been tapped to lead a new Amazon crime thriller, The Westies, along with J.K. Simmons, and the show is arriving sooner than you might think.
When Does ‘The Westies’ Come Out?
Amazon has already announced that The Westies will be released on July 12, but the show is not coming to Prime Video like the Bosch shows of the past. Instead, The Westies will stream on MGM+, but there is a possibility in the future that the show will make the jump to Prime Video, where it would certainly be a massive streaming contender. The show is set in Hell’s Kitchen in the 1980s, and it’s being hailed as a perfect mash-up of Bosch and another popular crime thriller show, Peaky Blinders. Narcos scribes Chris Brancato and Michael Panes wrote The Westies.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of The Westies and Ballard Season 2, which both star Titus Welliver.

Ridley Scott, the veteran director of sci-fi classics such as Alien and Blade Runner, has stayed away from the genre for over a decade, but he will return to it in August with The Dog Stars, starring Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin. Scott’s last sci-fi movie also happens to be his highest-grossing hit. It was released in 2015 to widespread acclaim, and is now streaming on Prime Video as the perfect lead-in for this year’s breakout sci-fi hit, Project Hail Mary.
Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary debuted on Prime Video on Friday after grossing $670 million worldwide. The movie was embraced by audiences and critics alike, and is now sitting at a 94% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s consensus reads, “A visually dazzling space odyssey that’s carried along effortlessly by the gravitational pull of Ryan Gosling at his most winning, Project Hail Mary is a near-miraculous fusion of smarts and heart.” The movie was based on a novel by Andy Weir, whose work also served as the source material for Scott’s last sci-fi movie.
The Most Epic Double-Bill Ever Is Waiting To Be Planned
We’re talking, of course, about The Martian. Starring Matt Damon, the movie grossed around $630 million worldwide against a reported budget of a little more than $100 million. It’s now sitting at a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Smart, thrilling, and surprisingly funny, The Martian offers a faithful adaptation of the bestselling book that brings out the best in leading man Matt Damon and director Ridley Scott.” The Martian was nominated for seven Oscars, including in the Best Picture category and the Best Actor category for Damon. Rather controversially, it received a nomination at the Golden Globes in the Best Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical category.
The Martian is now streaming on Prime Video, where you can revisit it ahead of Project Hail Mary‘s release. Or, you can plan the most epic double-bill ever. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Influencer Halley Kate McGookin opted for a vintage designer dress as she tied the knot with Reed Williams.
Posting via her TikTok on Thursday, July 2, the New York-based influencer, 25, showed off her thrifted Dior outfit as she got ready for her special day.
“I’m getting married today and my vision for this look absolutely came together,” she shared in the video. “Yes, I’m just going to the courthouse, but I’m still going to do an insane, iconic look.”
McGookin shared details of her wedding day attire as she explained the aesthetic she was aiming for.
Influencer Halley Kate McGookin showed off a massive engagement ring from boyfriend Reed Williams. Halley, 24, shared a glimpse of the stunning sparkler, featuring a marquise-shaped diamond set on a gold band, while taking to social media on Friday, January 23, to announce that she and Reed were engaged after more than two years of […]
“This is a vintage Dior look. Immediately, when I saw the flowers on it, I knew it was for me. Reed actually picked it up for me at a vintage market. I still wanted to keep the integrity of the dress, but I had it altered to be strapless because I knew I was going to do this hat,” she said. “I had this hat custom made because I saw this vintage Valentino look. Immediately, I knew I had to recreate it. I’m so happy with how this turned out. I think it’s insane.”
Later the same day, McGookin shared a video of her and Williams kissing inside the courthouse after exchanging vows.
@halleykate Tomorrow look might even top this👀
McGookin announced her engagement to Williams in January after more than two years of dating. Taking to Instagram, McGookin shared a glimpse of the stunning sparkler, which featured a marquise-shaped diamond set on a gold band.
She followed up the post by sharing a clip of the sweet proposal. The video showed Williams getting down on one knee to pop the question as they stood in a park in Switzerland. After asking McGookin for her hand in marriage, Williams stood back up and gave her a kiss.
“He ate with the 💍,” she captioned the post at the time.
The content creator also shared that Williams couldn’t sleep for “a couple of nights” because he was “trying to decide between which diamond to get.”
Several of the internet’s most famous faces took the next steps in their relationships in 2026. The year kicked off with influencer and former Playboy model Amanda Cerny saying yes to Serhant real estate agent Johannes Bartl. Weeks later, influencer Halley Kate McGookin announced that Reed Williams popped the question to her while on vacation […]
In an episode of her “Delusional Diaries” podcast in June 2025, McGookin was candid about never having any ambitions to have a big ceremony if she ties the knot.
“I’m not against getting married, I just wanna make that clear, I have nothing against marriages, I just don’t wanna have a wedding, is what I’ve always said,” she explained on the podcast.
McGookin and Williams first met on the dating app Hinge in early 2023 and dated briefly before calling it quits in November 2023. After that false start, McGookin announced in April 2024 that the pair had gotten back together.
Anya Taylor-Joy has only starred in one movie this year, but it wasted no time becoming the highest-grossing film of 2026. The movie in question is The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, where she reprised her role as Princess Peach opposite Chris Pratt as Mario — the film was the first of 2026 to reach the fabled $1 billion milestone. Taylor-Joy is also in line for a big year after the release of the Mario sequel. She’ll return to the sands of Arrakis at the end of the year for Dune: Part Three, where she’ll step into a much larger role as Alia Atreides in the sequel thanks to a significant time jump. However, fans don’t have to wait until Dune 3 drops on December 18 to watch another project starring ATJ.
One of Anya Taylor-Joy’s biggest projects from the last few years is The Gorge, the Apple TV sci-fi thriller co-starring Miles Teller from Top Gun: Maverick. The film debuted on Valentine’s Day in 2025 and, now well over a year removed from its global premiere, it’s still one of Apple TV’s most popular movies. Following her success with The Gorge, Taylor-Joy will officially return to Apple TV soon for a new crime thriller with Timothy Olyphant, Lucky, which begins streaming on July 15. The first season of Lucky consists of only seven episodes, and with Apple TV dropping the first two at once in just a few weeks, this means the show will run through August 19, the day of its Season 1 finale. Five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening also has a key role in Lucky, along with Clifton Collins Jr. and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.
Does Anya Taylor-Joy Have Any Other Movies Coming Soon?
In addition to Dune: Part Three and Lucky, Anya Taylor-Joy has a few other exciting projects in the works. Not least of which is The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, which is coming to theaters at the end of 2027. Warner Bros. recently confirmed that Taylor-Joy had joined the cast of the film as an Elf named Seren, but details about her role are being kept under wraps. Taylor-Joy will also star opposite Chris Evans in a psychological thriller, Sacrifice, which debuted at TIFF last year. The film holds a poor 37% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Lucky, which begins streaming on Apple TV in just a few weeks.

The world loves a heartwarming sports story, and they don’t come much better than Ted Lasso. Although it seemed the Apple TV flagship series, which once saved the streamer by establishing it as a main player, had come to an end, Jason Sudeikis‘ happy-go-lucky coach is set to return later this year. The hotly anticipated fourth season is set to debut on August 5, 2026, with Ted and Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) set to take charge of a new women’s division at AFC Richmond. Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) attempts to lead the men’s team to victory in a season sure to prove one of the most popular of 2026.
Last summer, another sports story with plenty of heart was dominating the streaming charts, as Hollywood’s resident funny-man Adam Sandler starred in Happy Gilmore 2, reprising one of his fan-favorite comedies after almost three decades. The sequel officially debuted to 46.7 million views over three days, marking the biggest U.S. opening weekend for a Netflix original film, and proving once again that Sandler is a huge draw. But this was far from his only sports story, with perhaps his very best now available to stream on a new platform.
The film in question is The Longest Yard, thought by many to be one of the best football movies of all time, which starred Sandler alongside veteran Burt Reynolds. Made for $82 million, the film just about scraped success during its 2005 theatrical run, returning a global haul of $191 million, split between $158 million in domestic revenue and a further $33 million from overseas markets. This is made all the more impressive, considering The Longest Yard was going head-to-head with Star Wars Ep. III: Revenge of the Sith. Over two decades later, you can stream The Longest Yard right now on Paramount+.
What Is Adam Sandler’s Next Movie?
You might not be surprised to learn that Sandler’s next movie is a Netflix project, but you might not have expected it to be a thriller. Based on the 2001 French film, Sandler will star in Time Out, which began production back in late March this year. The film, which is directed by Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere‘s Scott Cooper, also stars the likes of Willem Dafoe, Gaby Hoffmann, F. Murray Abraham, Steve Zahn, and Adam Horovitz.
You can stream The Longest Yard right now on Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for the latest streaming stories.

Love Island USA‘s Jen Terry made a bold statement about how she hated all men.
“I just hate men. I always say this,” she said in the Friday, July 3, episode. “I say it outside of here and inside.”
She continued: “They all f**king suck. When will it ever be my turn? It feels like it never is.”
Jen was venting about her issues with Gal Tshnieder after their connection came to an end. The boys were then instructed to choose who they wanted to couple up with — and Gal didn’t choose Jen. As a result, she was sent home as the only single person still left in the villa.
Before her exit, Jen was surprisingly candid when she previously admitted to struggling when guys in the villa don’t show interest in her.
“I know that I am gorgeous and stunning but here — besides when I was with Gabe — I felt like, ‘Am I hideous?’” she said in a June episode. “Is there something wrong with me? Does my personality suck?”
She continued: “Normally I am used to guys drooling over me. Here, it has been so hard.”
Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.
The show is coming off a record-breaking moment with season 7 bringing in 18.4 billion streaming minutes, making it the most-watched original season of television on the platform.
“[This season] there’s a lot more emphasis put on the journey as opposed to the result,” narrator Iain Stirling told Us Weekly exclusively in July 2025. ”I think it’s about the journey of finding someone and how you grow as a person by doing that. Whereas five or six years ago, you had, like, proper millennials in there. There was that more traditional approach to dating.”
While some fans questioned the love journeys, Stirling was on board with the Islanders taking a different approach.
“The end goal [was] to be with someone and you have this contract with someone you’re in a relationship with to honor that person and to honor that relationship,” he noted. “I think now there’s a lot more people who make contracts with themselves to have the journey that they want and the experience they’re after.”
He added, “These people are predominantly speaking in their early 20s. If you can’t be selfish dating then — then when can you? Especially people from my generation, they weren’t selfish in their 20s and maybe did not want to upset people. Then they get to sort of 30 to 40 and get divorced and go insane. Maybe it’s the healthier way to do it.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

When it comes to sci-fi TV shows, no streaming service is operating at as high a level as Apple TV. The platform launched on the back of the popular sci-fi show, See, and while it may have been more heartfelt hits like Ted Lasso (starring Jason Sudeikis) and Shrinking (starring Harrison Ford) that drew people to the service, it’s been sci-fi that kept them coming back. Apple TV’s greatest sci-fi accomplishment to date is Severance, which first premiered back in 2022 before going on hiatus for three years and coming back with its second season in 2025. Apple TV picked up Severance for Season 3, but it’s unlikely that the show will make it back to streaming before the end of this year. The same can be confirmed for another Apple TV sci-fi masterpiece, one with enough gusto to break all of Severance’s records.
The only show big enough to surpass Severance in terms of viewership came last year with the release of Pluribus, which hails from creator Vince Gilligan. The legendary TV scribe is best known for his work penning one of the greatest TV shows of all time in Breaking Bad, and he also wrote the spin-off series Better Call Saul. Pluribus premiered in November, and the first season wrapped up on Christmas Eve, but the fate of the show was decided long before then when Apple TV renewed it for Season 2. Gilligan has confirmed that he’s chipping away at the writing process for Pluribus Season 2, but also that there’s no chance the show will be back before the end of the year. It’s still one of the top 10 most-watched titles on Apple TV, though.
What Else Is Streaming on Apple TV Right Now?
The most popular show on Apple TV at the time of writing is Cape Fear, the remake of the popular Robert De Niro psychological thriller. The Apple TV version of the tale stars Javier Bardem opposite Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson. Cape Fear is holding a narrow edge over Colin Farrell’s popular sci-fi detective show, Sugar, which recently returned for its second season after a two-year hiatus. As for movies, Brad Pitt’s F1 has still yet to be dethroned at the top of Apple TV streaming charts, but Anya Taylor-Joy’s The Gorge is giving it a run for its money.
Check out the first season of Pluribus on Apple TV, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 2.

Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss sparked a nearly inseparable bond back in 2012, but their friendship appeared to take a turn for the worst over time.
The BFFs quickly hit it off after Swift mentioned Kloss during her January 2012 Vogue cover story, saying, “I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her!” The comment caught Kloss’ eye, and a famous friendship was born.
Through the years, the duo put their connection on full display, both on social media and at high-power Hollywood events. Though it seemed like nothing could ever come between the two, their friendship seemingly hit a snag several years later when eagle-eyed fans noticed that Kloss was left out of Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” video, which featured a list of her remaining squad members.
Rumors of a falling out continued to swirl on and off — but Kloss consistently shut down speculation that she and Swift had grown apart. However, Swift hinted that things had gone south after penning a powerful essay for Elle ahead of her 30th birthday.
“Something about ‘we’re in our young twenties!’ hurls people together into groups that can feel like your chosen family. And maybe they will be for the rest of your life,” Swift wrote in March 2019. “Or maybe they’ll just be your comrades for an important phase, but not forever.”
Years after the alleged friendship rift, fans were shocked when Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner, stepped out in New York City for Swift’s July 2026 wedding to Travis Kelce.
Scroll down to relive all of Swift and Kloss’ friendship highs and lows through the years:
