Maren Morris Reveals Taylor Swift Wedding Handkerchief
It turns out Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding was a fairy tale for all in attendance.
“Baby just say yes,” wedding guest Maren Morris wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 4, quoting Swift’s song “Love Story,” while sharing a handful of pics from the white-veiled occasion.
Swift and Kelce, both 36, said “I do” on Friday, July 3, in a grand ceremony held inside New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden arena. Morris, 36, was among the star-studded attendees, alongside fellow country stars Kelsea Ballerini and Miranda Lambert.
In Morris’ social media recap of the event, she captured a snapshot of a white, lace handkerchief that was embroidered with the line “So it’s gonna be forever” from Swift’s “Blank Space,” which happens to be Kelce’s favorite track of his bride’s. The delicate linen also included the wedding date and city stitched into the fabric, in addition to the same ‘TT’ monogram intertwined by hearts that was seen on the rehearsal dinner gift boxes.
After Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s reported rehearsal dinner, several of their guests left with matching favors. The couple’s friends, including Ross Travis and Charissa Thompson, were photographed leaving New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Thursday, July 2, clutching locked black velvet boxes, per pics obtained by online gossip site DeuxMoi. In the snaps, […]
Morris has been close to Swift since 2018, even duetting on the song “You All Over Me.”
“I’ve never seen a crowd like that, and there’s not a crowd like hers,” Morris said on the Jennifer Hudson Show in May 2025, detailing what it was like sharing the stage with Swift on the Eras Tour in Chicago in 2023. “[Her fans are] so supportive. They’re listening to all the lyrics, they want to hear every nuance and breath between words. They’re truly locked in. It was a real treat to experience on that plane.”
Despite her close bond with Swift, Morris initially wasn’t convinced she’d make the cut for the Grammy winner’s wedding guest list.
“I got this, like, spam text a couple weeks ago. It was like, ‘You’re invited to Taylor and Travis’ wedding,” Morris quipped on the Morning Mash Up Show in May. “I was like, ‘I’m blocking this ‘cause there’s no way they would send an invitation through a text like this.’ What if I trashed [the actual one]? I was like, ‘How do they have my number? This is weird.’”
Luckily for Morris, the invitation was the real deal.
As the countdown to Swift and Kelce’s nuptials continued, Morris began pondering what to gift the couple for the occasion.
It’s the celebrity event of the year. Grammy award-winning music star Taylor Swift is reportedly scheduled to be married to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce on Friday, July 3, in New York City. Their wedding venue was only recently revealed to take place in Madison Square Garden, but did Kelce, 36, drop a […]
“What do you get as a gift for someone like that?” Craig Melvin jokingly asked Morris during an early Friday morning broadcast of Today. “Do you get a juicer [or an] air fryer?”
At the time, Morris played coy about her attendance.
“I don’t know, what do you get? That’d be a hard person to buy for,” she said, adding that she was just “so happy” for Swift and Kelce’s union. “She has such a close tie to New York. I’m so excited for them to celebrate their love.”

No matter the era, the art of making people laugh is timeless. Comedy existed long before television was invented, and few things feel better than making someone laugh on a bad day. Previous generations embraced classics like 30 Rock and Seinfeld, while the early internet era helped popularize shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and How I Met Your Mother as meme culture began to take off.
Today, a new wave of comedies explores how humor can thrive even when life isn’t always funny. The result is a generation of shows that balance hilarious comedy with memorable characters and surprisingly heartfelt stories. With that in mind, here are new comedy shows that are perfect from start to finish.

‘The Four Seasons’ (2025–2026)
The Four Seasons introduces three couples during their quarterly trips together. Although the group seems to have a fun time, most of them are secretly unhappy. Jack (Will Forte) and Kate (Tina Fey) struggle with mounting resentment over a lack of affection, while Danny’s (Colman Domingo) health concerns scare Claude (Marco Calvani). But the real kicker is when Nick (Steve Carell) leaves Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) after 25 years for a much younger woman.
The Four Seasons proves that age doesn’t magically make people wiser. If anything, the drama only gets messier as its characters navigate crumbling marriages, midlife crises, health scares, and unexpected new relationships. The show doesn’t offer neat solutions to these problems. Instead, it follows a group of adults who are still figuring things out, reminding audiences that growing older doesn’t mean having all the answers. Through its ups and downs, The Four Seasons arrives at a bittersweet truth: life keeps changing, and so do the people we love.

‘Hacks’ (2021–2026)
Hacks is a story about generational differences, centering on the relationship between the “canceled” struggling television writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) and Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), the longtime headlining comedian at the Palmetto Casino. Forced to work together, the two try to use one another to sustain their impossibly difficult careers in the entertainment industry.
Hacks is driven by Ava and Deborah’s ever-evolving relationship, which transforms from a purely professional partnership into a genuine friendship. Of course, getting there isn’t easy. Their journey is filled with clashes, hurt feelings, and more than a few betrayals, all fueled by their relentless ambition to stay relevant in a brutally competitive industry. Yet it’s their sharp honesty and refusal to let each other get away with their worst impulses that make them such a thrilling pair to root for in this perfect comedy-drama series.
8
‘Bait’ (2026)
Riz Ahmed toys with the James Bond rumors in Bait. Struggling actor Shah Latif (Ahmed) gets his big break when his agent secures him an audition to play James Bond. But as news of his opportunity spreads, every corner of his life crumbles — from his unresolved feelings for his ex to his tumultuous relationship with his family.
There’s a certain humor in watching someone spiral in real time, especially when the camerawork amplifies every moment of anxiety. Bait takes even the smallest misunderstanding or awkward interaction and snowballs it into a public relations disaster for Shah. Yet each humiliation serves a purpose. Rather than breaking him, every embarrassing setback forces Shah to develop a thicker skin, gradually turning him into someone far more resilient than the insecure actor we meet at the beginning.
7
‘Deli Boys’ (2025–Present)
Business and family make a deadly combination in Deli Boys. Following their father’s sudden death, brothers Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh) Dar are left to take over the family deli business — only to discover it’s actually a front for their father’s underground drug operation. With the help of their aunt Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan), the brothers attempt to carry on their father’s criminal legacy without getting caught.
It’s a steep learning curve for Mir and Raj, and watching them try to grasp the underground business is what makes Deli Boys such a binge-worthy comedy show. They do practically everything they’re not supposed to do, but in an ironic twist of fate, their unconventional methods end up working surprisingly well — sometimes even better than expected. There’s something satisfying about watching two aimless brothers finally find a sense of purpose, even if that purpose could land them on the FBI’s radar.
6
‘St. Denis Medical’ (2024–Present)
Overworked and underpaid, the medical staff at St. Denis Medical is at an all-time low when it comes to morale. Luckily, executive director Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey) is set on turning the Oregon hospital into a respectable international medical destination. But before they could do so, they’re going to need some serious funding.
Hospitals are the last place you’d expect to find humor, but if St. Denis Medical proves anything, it’s that laughter is often the very thing these staff members need to get through the day. It’s hard to stay upbeat when you’re working long hours and caring for a constant stream of patients. Yet the series understands that finding humor in the chaos isn’t insensitive — it’s a survival mechanism. Not every patient will have a happy ending, but life doesn’t stop moving, especially for the people responsible for caring for them.
5
‘Shrinking’ (2023–Present)
When in doubt, get a shrink. But if that therapist is Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) from Shrinking, he might not be the most conventional option. Following the death of his wife, Jimmy has fallen into an unnecessarily prolonged period of mourning. It doesn’t help that his job is to help other people with their problems.
The humor behind Shrinking comes from how Jimmy attempts to help his clients, culminating in his effective yet ethically questionable “Jimmy-ing” method. It’s not every day audiences get to watch a therapist break practically every rule in the ethics handbook, and part of the fun is seeing just how far he can push those boundaries. But Shrinking is more than just a great 2020s comedy series. It’s also a thoughtful story about grief, showing that healing is rarely straightforward and that sometimes it’s okay to laugh along the way.
4
‘The Studio’ (2025–Present)
Arguably Seth Rogen’s comedic magnum opus, The Studio addresses the modern anxieties of today’s entertainment industry. Rogen plays Matt Remick, a cinephile with a genuine appreciation for movies. That alone makes him the perfect head of Continental Studios. Sadly, the studio isn’t generating as much income as they want — this is where Remick comes in.
While most viewers have never worked in Hollywood, they’ve probably had to compromise their values to keep a boss happy. That’s exactly what makes Remick so relatable. He loves movies but can’t stand the business behind them, and The Studio never loses sight of that contradiction. Each episode forces him into a new publicity stunt, creative sacrifice, or corporate headache, with every humiliation building toward a satisfying payoff in the finale.
3
‘The Bear’ (2022–2026)
The Bear shows that it takes more than talent to open up a restaurant. In the aftermath of his brother’s passing, fine dining chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) is entrusted with his dingy “The Original Beef” joint. However, his cousin Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) isn’t a fan of Carmy butting in on his upper-crust culinary standards.
The Bear puts the “fun” in “dysfunction,” and it’s all thanks to the chaotic Berzatto family. The debut season finds them at their lowest point, with the restaurant seemingly on the verge of collapse. Even as they work to transform it into something greater over the following seasons, the Berzattos’ candid quips, constant arguments, and frequent shouting matches remain a big part of their charm. Still, for all their flaws and imperfections, they’re the kind of underdogs audiences can’t help but root for with each passing season of The Bear.
2
‘Abbott Elementary’ (2021–Present)
Some of Philly’s best teachers can be found in Abbott Elementary. Teaching is often an overlooked profession, but the show pays homage to these educational heroes by putting them in the spotlight. People like to say teaching is easy, but juggling multiple classes, managing extracurricular activities, and navigating endless school district bureaucracy is no small task.
Abbott Elementary reminds audiences that teaching is one of the noblest and most demanding professions there is. More importantly, it never forgets that these teachers are human, too. Over the seasons, we watch them grow not only as individuals but also as a team. They might have their quirks, from Barbara Howard’s (Sheryl Lee Ralph) old school ways to Gregory Eddie’s (Tyler James Williams) distaste for pizza, but they always got each other’s backs.
1
‘The White Lotus’ (2021–Present)
Nothing beats some time off at The White Lotus. Over three seasons, audiences follow a group of primarily wealthy American guests as they check into White Lotus resorts around the world. Whether they’re vacationing somewhere close to home like Hawaii or traveling farther afield to Thailand, these guests quickly learn that some problems can’t be solved with a dip in the pool or a trip to the spa.
The White Lotus gets its comedy from just how outlandish the problems these wealthy guests have — and the funniest part is that the audience is expected to care. You don’t need to travel all the way to a monastery to find spiritual enlightenment or engage in a threesome just to feel something. But even funnier are the employees forced to deal with their guests’ nonsense, with some eventually becoming so fed up that they begin taking matters into their own hands behind the guests’ backs.

Before Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey,’ Matt Damon’s Biggest Fantasy Flop Is Streaming Free
In just a few weeks, Matt Damon will be seen in Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey in the titular role of Odysseus. Damon has already spoken about how gratifying it was to work on the project, which he described as possibly the last of its kind. The Odyssey was filmed entirely with IMAX cameras, utilizing Nolan’s favored practical effects and real locations. It is said to have cost Universal around $300 million to produce, and is poised to become the summer’s biggest hit. However, a decade ago, Damon starred in another period epic directed by a legend, but had a terrible time making it. The movie in question is now streaming for free in the United States, making for a fun double-bill with The Odyssey.
The film was produced by Legendary Pictures, at a time when the company was putting millions into large-scale monster films such as Godzilla and Pacific Rim. Damon starred in the film alongside Pedro Pascal, who’d only recently broken out with a memorable performance in Game of Thrones. The 2016 film was directed by the Chinese legend Zhang Yimou, and was set in an alternate history where the Great Wall of China was built to keep monsters out of the Middle Kingdom. We’re talking, of course, about The Great Wall. The film received mixed reviews and is now sitting at a 36% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s consensus reads, “For a Yimou Zhang film featuring Matt Damon and Willem Dafoe battling ancient monsters, The Great Wall is neither as exciting nor as entertainingly bonkers as one might hope.”
Here’s Where You Can Watch ‘The Great Wall’ for Free
The Great Wall underperformed at the box office, grossing around $335 million worldwide against a reported budget of $150 million. Damon later said that making the movie was a disheartening experience. Appearing on Marc Maron‘s podcast, Damon said that his daughter enjoys pulling his leg over his poorly received movies.
“Whenever she talks about the movie, she calls it ‘The Wall.’ And I’m like, come on, it’s called The Great Wall. And she’s like, ‘Dad, there’s nothing great about that movie.’ She’s one of the funniest people I know.”
Damon said that he knew the movie was doomed when Zhang was forced to bow down to studio pressure. “I came to consider that the definition of a professional actor; knowing you’re in a turkey and going, ‘OK, I’ve got four more months. It’s the up at dawn siege on Hamburger Hill. I am definitely going to die here, but I’m doing it,‘” he said. “That’s as sh**y as you can feel creatively, I think. I hope to never have that feeling again.”
You can watch The Great Wall on Tubi, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Movie fans have had a lot to be excited about this summer, but one of the biggest new releases that has everyone talking is The Odyssey. Christopher Nolan is directing the new historical epic, and after his colossal success with Oppenheimer, his attempt to adapt Homer’s work can safely be considered one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Nolan has recruited one of the most impressive ensembles of all time to star in The Odyssey, but starring in the lead role of Odysseus is Matt Damon, who also had a key role in Oppenheimer in 2023. Plenty of other directors have taken their hand at adapting The Odyssey and other famous historical stories over the years, but only a few have reached the status that The Odyssey hopes to achieve once it hits theaters on July 17.
When it comes to great historical epics, one of the first projects that comes to mind is 300, the legendary film directed by Zack Snyder and starring Gerard Butler. The epic tells the story of the great 300 Spartan soldiers who stood against the Persian King Xerxes at the Battle of Thermopylae, and it also features some other big names, including Michael Fassbender and Lena Headey. Now 20 years removed from 300 arriving in theaters, the film still does not have a streaming home, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the top 10 most-watched titles on VOD in several countries around the world. In addition to directing the film, Zack Snyder also wrote the script for 300 with Kurt Johnstad and Michael B. Gordon, and it’s based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley.
Did Zack Snyder Direct the ‘300’ Sequel?
Eight years after the release of 300, the story continued with the release of 300: Rise of an Empire, which even returned stars Lena Headey and Rodrigo Santoro. However, while Zack Snyder did help write the script for the film and also serve as a producer, he opted not to direct, passing that duty to Noam Murro, who has not directed a feature film in the eight years since its release. 300: Rise of an Empire acts as a prequel and a sequel, with events in the film taking place both before and after the original.
Check out 300 on VOD platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Snyder’s future projects.

Paramount+ is home to many great movies and shows, with some of the most popular all produced by one man. Taylor Sheridan‘s Yellowstone universe now boasts a variety of hugely popular shows, including Landman, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and The Madison. Right now, his most fashionable of his shows — and the #1 most-watched on the U.S. charts – is the Yellowstone spin-off Dutton Ranch, following Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth’s (Kelly Reilly) ranch rivalry after their gamble on a new life in South Texas.
Earning 12.9 million global views within its first seven days of release, Dutton Ranch managed to stand out against its franchise siblings, becoming the biggest original series launch in Paramount+ history. The show has earned plenty of praise from critics, scoring an impressive 89% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Carly Lane awarded Dutton Ranch an 8/10 in her review from Collider, and, among the many reasons she praised the series, Lane was glowing in her assessment of the central performances, saying, “Reilly and Hauser haven’t missed a single beat in their performances.”
For anyone looking for another Reilly performance to accompany her Dutton Ranch success, her 2012 psychological thriller is the perfect option, and now it has reached a new streamer. The film in question is Flight, directed by Robert Zemeckis, who is best known for directing the Back to the Future movies. Written by John Gatins, the film stars Denzel Washington, the 10-time Academy Award nominee and two-time winner. Both Gatins and Washington earned Oscar nominations for the movie, although neither walked out of the ceremony victorious. Right now, following its arrival on the platform at the start of the month, Flight is available to stream on Paramount+.
Was ‘Flight’ a Box Office Hit?
It might not be the highest-grossing hit in Washington’s filmography, but Flight was an undeniable hit at the 2012 box office. Against a reported budget of $31 million, the film returned a global haul of $160 million, split between $93 million in domestic revenue and a further $67 million from overseas markets. Following its strong theatrical run, the film earned another $33 million in home media release, with $22 million from DVD sales and $11 million from Blu-ray.
Flight is streaming now on Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

The past couple of years have been particularly impressive for Brazilian cinema. A record fell in 2025 as the brilliantly pensive political thriller I’m Still Here became the country’s first to be nominated for the Best Picture prize at the Academy Awards, with star Fernanda Torres scoring a Best Actress nomination. The film also won the Best International Feature prize at the same ceremony, a feat that sadly couldn’t be repeated by 2026’s Brazilian success story The Secret Agent, which eventually lost to the Danish-Norwegian drama Sentimental Value.
But The Secret Agent was successful in other areas, notably for star Wagner Moura, who picked up the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama, as well as earning a second Brazilian main acting Oscar nomination in a row. Given how both these movies have carried the torch for modern Brazilian cinema, breaking records along the way, you’d be forgiven for thinking they are the best exports of their kind. However, that title instead goes to the genius 2002 crime flick many liken to Martin Scorsese‘s Goodfellas: City of God.
Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund‘s powerful social drama is as visceral and realistic as it is inventive. Considered one of the most perfect movies of the last 40 years, City of God has aged like a fine wine, feeling even more poignant today than it did 24 years ago. It is also widely recognized for crafting one of cinema’s most spine-chilling villains, with Leandro Firmino‘s performance as drug dealer Li’l Zé still infecting nightmares all these many years later. If you have yet to tick this off your “must-watch” list, you’re in luck, as City of God is now available to stream on Paramount+ following its arrival at the start of the month.
‘City of God’ Was a Box Office Triumph
Despite being made for just $3.3 million and featuring a largely unknown cast, word-of-mouth proved pivotal to City of God‘s success, as it initially broke the record for the highest-grossing Brazilian movie of all time. Worldwide, the film returned $32 million in box office revenue, with $7.5 million coming from domestic revenue and a further $24.5 million from overseas markets. Don’t miss out on one of cinema’s best films available to stream now.
City of God is available to stream on Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.

Comedian Dave Chappelle is breaking his silence on Travis Kelce choosing to attend one of his recent comedy shows as part of his bachelor party celebration.
“I was shocked, I had never seen anything like that. A whoreless bachelor party?” Chappelle, 52, recalled during a Zoom interview on CNN’s Independence Eve Live on Friday, July 3. “Whatever makes you happy, Travis.”
Travis, 36, was joined by his brother, Jason Kelce, and a gaggle of friends last month for a West Coast bachelor party. The group attended Chappelle’s show and multiple sporting events to celebrate Travis’ nuptials to pop star Taylor Swift.
Travis and Swift, 36, coincidentally said “I do” on Friday night, the same time of the CNN broadcast, inside New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden arena in front of a star-studded crowd of nearly 1,000 loved ones.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s family and friends stood by their sides during their highly-anticipated, star-studded wedding, though there were not any formal bridesmaids or groomsmen. The Grammy winner and the NFL player, both 36, tied the knot at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3. “Taylor and Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen,” […]
“I heard he was getting married at Madison Square Garden. You would think I could have got an invite, but I didn’t,” Chappelle quipped during the CNN broadcast. “I didn’t make the 15,000 closest friends.”
He then asked CNN hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, who hosted their live special from blocks away from MSG in Times Square, whether they scored invitations to the wedding of the year.
“It looks like the three of us are the only three people [who didn’t go],” Cohen,58, jokingly replied on Friday. “The three of us are the only ones not invited.”
Cohen and Cooper, 59, were busy hosting their CNN broadcast on Friday night, while Chappelle called in from his stand-up show in California. At the same time, Swift and Travis celebrated their love story in front of a seemingly never-ending list of Hollywood A-list stars, including Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, Kelsea Ballerini, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and Miranda Lambert.
“Well, I eloped,” Chappelle joked to the CNN cohosts, contrasting the size of his nuptials to Swift and Kelce’s big day. “Me and my wife went to Taco Bell after we got married in Vegas, like, ‘Well, it’s going to be a long life. Good luck to both of us!’”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s guest list for their wedding may be under wraps — but we now know one celebrity who definitely didn’t attend the festivities. Amy Schumer poked fun at the interest surrounding Swift, 36, and Kelce’s special day, writing via Instagram on Thursday, July 2, “Rehearsal dinner was sick. Who knows was […]
Chappelle has been married to Elaine Mendoza Erfe, with whom he shares three children, since 2001.
“We don’t live in Hollywood,” the comedian previously revealed of their daily life out of the spotlight during a 2020 episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With Dave Letterman. “There’s no paparazzi trying to get [our] picture. … I don’t think I ever leave my children’s presence without letting them know I love them ‘cause I never know what’s going to happen anyway.”
Taylor Swift has a famously tight-knit bond with her younger brother, Austin Swift.
Taylor and Austin are the two children of Scott and Andrea Swift, all of whom have had the pop star’s back as she navigated both her highly accomplished music career and various personal relationships. The trio strongly embraced Taylor’s husband, NFL star Travis Kelce, before the couple’s July 2026 wedding at Madison Square Garden.
In fact, Austin even stood up beside his big sister during the ceremony in lieu of a traditional bridal party.
“Taylor and Travis did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen,” Taylor’s rep told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Instead, her brother, Austin Swift, served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and [Travis’ brother], Jason Kelce, was Travis’ Best Man. The ceremony joined both families together.”
Keep scrolling to revisit Taylor’s comments about her dynamic with Austin through the years:
Holiday Favorites
During a 2012 interview with Parade, Taylor detailed how she and Austin spent the festive holiday season.
“I have a 20-year-old brother, so I like to see the absurd ways that he wraps presents,” Taylor told the outlet of her favorite tradition. “It’s worse and worse every year. It’s, like, garbage bags with duct tape in cardboard boxes with a rope tied around it. It’s the most hilarious thing to me because he wraps presents [in] his own special way.”
From Siblings to Colleagues
As Taylor pursued a career in the music industry, her brother has been by her side.
“My dad, my mom, and my brother come up with some of the best ideas in my career,” she told TIME in December 2023. “I always joke that we’re a small family business.”
Two years later, Taylor sent Austin and their mother to negotiate with Shamrock Capital on her behalf about the chance to purchase the masters of her first six albums.
“Rather than send lawyers or management in a big crew, I sent my mom and my brother, who I work with, to L.A.,” the singer detailed on Travis’ “New Heights” podcast in August 2025. “They sat with Shamrock Capital and they told them what this meant for me. They told them the whole story of all the times we’ve tried to buy it, all the times it’s fallen through, all the times we had gotten plans together and figured out something we thought was going to work and it didn’t at the last minute.”
Andrea and Austin’s mission was successful, and Taylor was able to buy her discography in May 2025 with profits from her Eras Tour.
For Travis Kelce, finding love with Taylor Swift meant he could add another brother to his growing family. After the pair started dating in 2023, the pair began blending their respective clans. For Swift, she started bringing her parents and younger brother Austin Swift to root for Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs alongside his […]
Childhood Squabbles
While Taylor and Austin are famously close as adults, that wasn’t always the case for the pair as children.
“We used to get in absolute battles. It was like psychological warfare every single day,” Taylor recalled on Sirius XM’s The Morning Mashup in October 2025. “I’d try to annoy him so much that he’d lash out and try to get him in trouble, it was a nightmare, but then he learned all the sounds that annoy me.”
She continued, “He learned that if you repeat everything I say back to me when I’m seven years old, that’s gonna bother me. Just the sibling stuff that everyone does. But it’s crazy, we work together now, and we’re best friends. I don’t know what year it happened, but we just looked at each other and went like, ‘Truce.’ Just know if you have kids and they’re at each other’s throats constantly, they’ll probably grow up to be best friends.”
Bonus: Musical Tributes
Taylor has even given Austin shout-outs in a handful of her songs.
“I have an excellent father/ His strength is making me stronger,” Swift begins a verse on “The Best Day,” which was released in 2008. “God smiles on my little brother / Inside and out he’s better than I am.”
Decades later, Austin was briefly mentioned on Taylor’s album The Life of a Showgirl.
“I had a bad habit / Of missing lovers past,” the Grammy winner sings on her “Opalite” track. “My brother used to call it / ‘Eating out of the trash’ / It’s never gonna last.”
“Opalite” ends with Taylor making her own happiness thanks to Travis and their love story.

Truth be told, I love traveling and I love weddings, so when I had a destination wedding on my calendar, I was pretty ecstatic. In addition to snapping up my bridesmaid’s dress, I also did a massive fashion haul, sourcing items that matched the lush, tropical vibe of Colombia. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed when I stumbled upon this surprisingly chic, tropical-inspired dress from Abercrombie & Fitch.
I initially spotted it in green, but was blown away after seeing the A&F maxi dress in a gorgeous exotic-looking pattern that’s made up of pinks, oranges, purples, blues and greens. The dress literally gives off tropical drink vibes in dress form, and I instantly had to have it. Due to the colorful hues, lightweight feel and flattering fit, I felt like an actual princess. The dress boosted my confidence the moment I slipped it on my body, and it just got better and better with every compliment I received.
I donned the maxi dress at the welcome party and got over 15 compliments (yes, I counted) from guests commenting on how pretty the dress is, and several even asked where I got it. Spoiler alert: The maxi is from Abercrombie, and it’s currently on sale this weekend!
Get the Giselle Hardware Flowy Maxi Dress for $90 (was $150) at Abercrombie & Fitch! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
The Giselle Hardware Flowy Maxi Dress is the one dress you’ll want to have in your closet for destination weddings, fancy date nights and beyond. Honestly, I didn’t expect to garner such praise over a dress, but it just confirmed that I made the right choice in packing this little number in my suitcase.
This Fourth of July weekend is a big one as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday! But before you head out to enjoy hot dogs, fireworks and all the other festivities, Us Weekly shopping editors can think of another way to celebrate the holiday. You guessed it: taking advantage of all the fabulous fashion deals happening […]
In addition to the beautiful pink design, the dress stands out for its simple yet luxe-looking accents. The pleated ripple texture draws the eye in, especially when you walk. I also really like the gold U-ring decoration at the neckline that gives the dress a high-end appearance while also subtly showing a little extra skin.
The loose, trapeze silhouette may feel intimidating, but I promise that it’s actually a huge selling point. The unpredictable, tropical weather couldn’t hold a flame to this dress; the fit allowed air to breeze through and it lightly skimmed my body. I could walk, sit and dance without worry. Oh, and the bra-free design allowed me to forgo my usual strapless bra, and yet, I still felt covered and supported.
Despite the long maxi design, petite girls can also sport the dress! As someone who is 5’2″, I know the struggle of finding long dresses that don’t overwhelm my frame, but this one actually hits the sweet spot. It’s available in regular, tall and petite lengths, so naturally I chose the latter. And when I paired it with platform sandals, the dress looked like a true maxi, which rarely happens.
The fabric is just as lovely, providing a sheen appeal due to the satiny material. With all these factors, it’s no wonder several people who complimented the dress were shocked I got it at a mall brand.
If I could get the Giselle maxi dress again, I totally would. It’s breezy, stunning and compliment-worthy. And right now, you can get it on sale with an extra 20% off when you add it to your cart. Lucky you!

Just before Claire Kittle attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s star-studded wedding, she faced an unexpected wardrobe malfunction.
“[Kristin Juszczyk] saved me again,” Kittle, 32, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, July 4, sharing a photo of the fashion designer, 32, stitching her blue gown ahead of the celebratory event.
Kittle and Juszczyk were among the celebrity guests at Swift and Kelce’s Friday, July 3, nuptials at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City. The two San Francisco 49ers wives attended the ceremony alongside their respective NFL husbands, George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk.
Kristin donned a royal blue satin corset dress that flowed into a color-blocked black bubble skirt with a tangle of diamond necklaces, while Claire chose a pastel blue sheath with a bedazzled illusion neckline.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife, Claire Kittle, have experienced unexpected travel delays ahead of friends Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s reported wedding date. “Just sat at BNA all evening,” Claire, 32, captioned a car selfie with George, also 32, via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, July 1, using the code […]
The zipper on Claire’s dress, however, hit a snag just moments before Swift and Kelce, both 36, were scheduled to walk down the aisle.
“Had to cut the lining in my dress,” Claire explained via her Stories. “The zipper was stuck.”
Kristin reposted Claire’s upload to her Stories, writing, “I was sewing all night” alongside a pair of laughing emojis.
Kristin, who founded the NFL-themed fashion label Off-Season, was quick to fix Claire’s dress in time for the ceremony, when — and while surrounded by approximately 1,000 guests — Swift and Kelce said “I do.”
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the bride and groom,” a rep for Swift said via press release. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. [Both of] their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
Swift’s spokesperson further revealed that the newlyweds opted against a traditional bridal party.
“Her brother, Austin Swift, served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man,” the statement added. “The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”
Selena Gomez glittered in gold while attending her best friend Taylor Swift’s highly-anticipated and star-studded wedding to Travis Kelce.
Gomez, 33, stunned in a fitted, curve-hugging beaded Oscar de la Renta gown for the newlyweds’ Friday, July 3, wedding inside New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden arena. The Only Murders in the Building star completed her ensemble with a pair of diamond rings.
For glam, Gomez sported rosy eyeshadow and lipstick, which her hair was slicked back into an Old Hollywood-style bob.
Gomez watched Swift and Kelce, both 36, say “I do” beside her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, who looked dapper in classic tuxedo with a bowtie.
Selena Gomez stepped out in style at her best friend Taylor Swift’s wedding rehearsal dinner on Thursday, July 2. Gomez, 33, rocked a black, strapless Oscar de la Renta gown, which featured laser-cut floral imagery along the bodice. She completed her ‘fit with Jimmy Choo stilettos, Fernando Jorge jewelry and a custom Grown Brilliance diamond […]
Blanco, 38, wore another tux for Swift and Kelce’s rehearsal dinner on Thursday, July 2, while Gomez chose a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown for the occasion. The singer paired her black frock with a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos, Fernando Jorge earrings and a custom Grown Brilliance diamond ring.
Gomez has been close to Swift since 2008, when the pair first bonded during their respective teen relationships with brothers Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas. Swift even attended Gomez’s wedding to Blanco in September 2025, where she wore a gold Oscar de la Renta gown of her own.
For her big day on the eve of the country’s 250th birthday celebration, Swift opted for a bespoke Dior Couture gown.
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,” a press release shared with Us Weekly read. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
Swift and Kelce, 36, exchanged vows in front of upwards of 1,000 loved ones, including Gomez, Blanco, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, George Kittle and Miranda Lambert.
