Travis Kelce heard Taylor Swift calling on the megaphone — and he couldn’t resist busting a move.

Kelce, 36, stepped out at the Sports Illustrated and Tight End University’s Tight Ends & Friends Presented by Cash App & VISA on Thursday, February 5, where he ventured into the DJ booth right when Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” began playing.

In now-viral social media footage, Kelce was spotted dancing and singing along to the track.

“The Fate of Ophelia,” named after the Hamlet heroine, was the first single off Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl when it was released in October 2025.

“My eyes scanned across ‘the fate of Ophelia’ [in my songwriting journal], I was like, ‘Wait, Ophelia drowned because Hamlet just messed with her head so much that she went crazy and she couldn’t take it any more and all these men were gaslighting her until she drowned,’” Swift, 36, said in her The Release Party of a Showgirl film screening. “What if the hook is that you saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia?”

Swift further explained that Kelce was “the reason [she] didn’t end up like this tragic, poetic heroine who passed away in a fictional story.”

Swift wrote and recorded The Life of a Showgirl during the European leg of her Eras Tour in 2024, chronicling her life between concerts as her relationship with Kelce blossomed. Swift and Kelce have been together since 2023, getting engaged two years later in August 2025.

Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end also seemingly inspired her Showgirl songs of “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite,” “Eldest Daughter,” “Wood,” “Wish List” and “Honey.”

“It just feels different from anything we made before,” she explained in Release Party about making “Honey” with producers Max Martin and Shellback. “If someone calls you ‘honey’ sincerely, it turns out it’s awesome. It feels great. … Somebody coming into your life and repurposing those same exact words and turning them sweet and [realizing] how good that feels.”

In the months since Swift dropped Showgirl, she and Kelce settled into a domestic routine while he closed out his NFL season.

“They love cooking challenges and random deep dives on documentaries,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2025. “Taylor is always organizing something, and Travis likes video games and is always studying football games. They complement each other in that way.”

Swift has also made herself at home at Kelce’s Kansas City pad.

“They don’t have to worry as much about being incognito day-to-day,” a second insider told Us. “Travis is pretty beloved in Kansas City, so when he and Taylor go out to dinner at a restaurant, people will say hello [but] they don’t go out of their way to bother them. Travis is really personable and will give fans a smile and a pat on the back, and Taylor seems pretty comfortable, likely because Travis is so at home here.”

A third source, meanwhile, told Us that Swift and Kelce have already started thinking about their wedding plans.

“Taylor thinks it’s cute, and it’s something they have been bonding over,” the third source told Us in December 2025. “Taylor and Travis are both very excited about their next chapter.”

Pants styles are controversial these days, but we stand behind flare pants. Even Meghan Markle, the queen of timeless dressing, is on board, proving that the fun style is more than a fleeting trend. Luckily, we found a comfy version of her flare look — pants that double as jeans and yoga pants. Score!

Markle wore her black jeans to a film festival, styling them with a cashmere sweater and maxi coat. We’re copying the aesthetic for brunches, errands and date nights this season — heck, even casual Fridays at the office. These lookalike pants appear so similar, but are stretchy, forgiving and seriously flattering. Oh, and they cost $212 less!

Get the Rammus Crossover Jeans for $40 on Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

Like Markle’s, these flare pants have classic denim detailing, real pockets and a rich black hue. But they differ around the waist; instead of a button, these pants have a flattering crossover design that tucks you in without squeezing. The cotton-and-elastane-blend material is soft like butter and flexible like leggings, so you’ll forget you’re even wearing ‘jeans.’

Literally everywhere feels like the tundra, so it’s no wonder we’ve spotted celebrities, rich moms and celebrity rich moms in their cozy best. This season, everyone’s wearing soft fur coats, and we found 17 faux-fur options that nail the aesthetic for less. This luxe coat style keeps you warm, elevates your look and channels old […]

Better yet, these pants slim from every angle. In addition to the snatching crossover element, these pants boast a high waistband, lengthening side seams and angled back pockets that lift the bootie. The flare-ankle design also gives the illusion of leaner thighs.

Shoppers rave about these pants, including those who have tummies, curves, short torsos or some combination of the above. Many describe them as the most flattering and comfortable jeans they’ve ever worn. It’s no wonder fans come back for other colors!

One new mom shared, “My body changed completely after kids, with an apron belly that doesn’t fit into normal jeans. These are stretchy enough and easy to pull on. Very flattering. I’ve been living in stretch pants for years and these are the first pair of jeans I like.”

Another reviewer echoed the sentiment and wrote, “I think they’re slimming. They are so comfortable, even when sitting down. I stopped wearing jeans for over a decade because the waistband would dig in painfully in that position. These jeans solve that!”

So if you want Markle’s trendy flare jeans look without the buttons, stiffness or scratchy feel, these pants deliver. You’ll wear them from errands to dinner parties and garner compliments along the way.

These wear-everywhere pants should be much more expensive than they are, but we’re not complaining! For an even better deal, don’t forget to check the coupon box for a few bucks off. You’re welcome.

Happy New Music Friday! The weekend is here, which means more streaming, new playlists and the best that music has to offer — and ET has you covered for everything in between.

Taylor Swift has released the music video for her new single, “Opalite.” She revealed that the idea for the video came after she was a guest on The Graham Norton Show and fellow guest Domhnall Gleeson made a joke about wanting to be in one of her music videos. Taylor said she instantly was struck with an idea and emailed a script to Domhnall one week later. She shared, “It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters, Shot on film. The Opalite video is out now on Spotify & Apple Music.” You can shop the new “Opalite” blue pearlescent vinyl, available to pre-order until February 6, 4pm PT.

Nick Jonas has released his new solo album, Sunday Best, which is his first solo project in nearly five years and showcases him in a deeply open and introspective chapter. Nick released the official music video for “Gut Punch” exploring the tension between self-perception and reality.

Charlie Puth released his new single “Cry” featuring Kenny G on saxophone. Charlie shared, “Cry is about allowing yourself to feel things fully. I grew up watching people I admire carry emotional weight quietly. This song is a reminder that expressing emotion is not weakness — it’s human, and sometimes it’s exactly what helps you grow.” ET spoke to Charlie Puth after the Super Bowl LX pregame press conference and teased his new album will feature the most collaborations he has done on an album. His new album, Whatever’s Clever!” is out March 27.

ZAYN has released his highly anticipated new single, “Die For Me,” off his upcoming fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, out April 17. This will be ZAYN’s most culturally inspired project to date. He also announced his largest tour to date, The Konnakol Tour, which kicks off May 12.

Ziggy Marley has released a new track, “Many Mourn For Bob,” a powerful tribute to the legacy of his father, Bob Marley. The new song accompanies the announcement of Ziggy’s upcoming new album, Brightside, out May 1. Ziggy released a moving music video featuring images from his childhood with his father. February 6 is Bob’s birthday and he would have turned 81.

Netflix is one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world, if not the biggest. The streamer loses titles every month but still offers a robust catalog of shows and movies with significant rewatch value. From horror flicks to documentaries, thrillers, and epic dramas, there is always something to see. Series like Liam Hemsworth’s The Witcher, Shadow & Bone, and Gordon Cormier’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, represent some of the streamer’s most ambitious action fantasy projects ever undertaken.

Thankfully for Netflix, these projects have proven to be major hits for the streamer, with even more ambitious strides being taken. KPop Demon Hunters, which is already an award-winning animated feature, and the much-beloved One Piece series adaptation, whose second season is one of the most anticipated seasons in recent memory, signal that ambition. Several Asian series, such as All of Us Are Dead, have already succeeded on the platform. Netflix is poised to expand its catalog into the region with its upcoming Taiwanese fantasy series.

Production began in 2019, and after a seven-year wait, Agent from Above, Netflix’s latest fantasy offering, is finally set to arrive on the platform in 2026. The large-scale action-fantasy series, whose production was slowed in 2022 after the series’ lead, Kai Ko Chen-tung, sustained significant facial injuries on set, is based on the first book of the popular novel series The Oracle Comes by Taiwanese author Teensy. Inspired by Taoist mythology, Agent from Above is set in a universe of gods, monsters, humans, and other mythical beings.

What Is ‘Agent From Above’ About?

The series follows Ko’s Han Chieh, a former drug user turned spirit medium, who is recruited by the legendary Chinese god San Tai Zi as an agent on Earth. Han Chieh’s charge from San Tai Zi is to help bring balance between the human and demon realms by resolving supernatural disturbances. Seizing the opportunity, Han Chieh sees it as a chance for redemption given the sins of his past. According to a report from Netflix, Agent from Above will arrive on the streamer in Q2 2026, and the fantasy series’ official synopsis reads:

“Bound by a deity’s pact, Han Chieh fights demons on Earth. When he uncovers an old enemy’s plan for a second invasion, he must fight to save humanity.”

Agent From Above is one of the most ambitious and expensive Chinese-language productions for Netflix to date. The first season will have only six episodes and will premiere sometime between April and June 2026. For action fantasy fans awaiting the premiere, Netflix declares it “a visual tour de force that delivers spectacular world-building and artistry, setting a new benchmark that stands shoulder to shoulder with high-end fantasy productions globally.” The series is directed by Kuan Wei-chieh and Lai Chun-yu, with Melvin Ang and Rita Chuang serving as executive producers. Kai Ko (You Are the Apple of My Eye) leads the acting talent from Taiwan, with Wang Po-chieh (Life of Pi), Buffy Chen (The Silent Forest), Johnny Yang (Warrior, The Rip), and Hsueh Shih-ling (Taiwan Crime Stories) also part of the cast.

Agent From Above arrives on Netflix in Q2 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for updates.
