Taylor Swift’s Relationship With Travis Kelce’s Nieces
Taylor Swift has fully embraced auntie mode ahead of her highly anticipated wedding to Travis Kelce.
“Everybody knows how close Travis is with his family, so it really means everything to him how seamlessly Taylor blends in with all of them,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2024 of Swift’s easy rapport with Kelce’s relatives. “His family is all about just hanging out, joking and having a great time. It’s almost like she’s known his family forever, and he loves that about her.”
Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end have been together since summer 2023. In the years since, the pop star has blended seamlessly in with the Kelce clan — including with the four daughters of Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce: (Jason and Kylie are parents of Wyatt, Ellie, Bennett and Finnley.)
Keep scrolling to learn more about Swift’s role as an aunt to the Kelce girls:
Taylor Swift Bakes for Travis Kelce’s Nieces
During her August 2025 debut on the Jason and Travis’ “New Heights” podcast, the pop superstar opened up about her hobbies, which she jokingly called “grandma” coded — including a sourdough fixation that has turned into a family-wide love language between her and Travis’ four nieces.
“Right now, we’re very deep in a sourdough obsession,” she said at the time. “I’ve been workshopping [one] for the girls because they love everything rainbow: Funfetti sourdough.”
She added, “They love sprinkles. We put sprinkles in everything when we hang out.”

Elsewhere during her “New Heights” debut, Swift revealed that she aimed to show the girls that cats weren’t poisonous despite Jason’s claims to the contrary.
“As soon as I got the kids around the cats, it was my goal to prove to them that they weren’t poisonous,” she said. “There’s no better way to prove that than to just hand them Benjamin, my ragdoll cat, who lets humans hold him like he’s a baby. My favorite thing ever is when Bennie will come up to me and just go, ‘I find Benjamin, I find him.’ And she’s just over there laying with him and petting him and holding him.”
Swift has three pet cats: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.
“The cats are so good with kids,” she gushed. “They’re just like, ‘Meredith is here!’ I’m like, ‘And you know what? She didn’t bite you at all, did she? And if she did bite you, she wouldn’t be poisonous.’ They’re like, ‘That’s not what our dad said.’”
Wyatt Kelce’s Favorite Taylor Swift Song
Long before Swift’s baking phase and feline hangouts, Jason and Kylie’s oldest was already a superfan. At Kelce Jam in May 2024, Travis told Access Hollywood that Wyatt has a clear favorite pick from Swift’s catalog.
When the interviewer rattled off tracks including “The Alchemy,” “Fearless” and “The Man,” Travis lit up at the last one.
“There’s so many. ‘The Man’ is my niece’s favorite, so we can always go with ‘The Man,’” he said, referring to Wyatt.
Swift later invited Wyatt and her sisters Ellie and Bennett to see multiple concerts onThe Eras Tour in 2024.
Meeting the Newest Kelce
Jason and Kylie welcomed their fourth daughter, Finnley “Finn” Anne Kelce, in March 2025. Swift subtly congratulated the couple by “liking” Kylie’s Instagram announcement.
Months later, Jason told Entertainment Tonight that Swift met the newborn in person.
“We were fortunate to have them all in. It doesn’t happen often — everybody’s busy — but it was really special,” he told the outlet in May 2025. “Thankfully we have a really tight-knit family that makes time for each other, and it’s been awesome.”
Taylor Swift Sits With Kylie Kelce and Her Girls at Chiefs Game
Kylie brought her kids to Travis’ home football game for the first time in December 2025, where they sat with Swift in a private box.
“The girls had not yet seen Uncle Trav play in Arrowhead Stadium,” Kylie said on her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast later that month. “It was also super exciting to get to see friends and family that were there, because the girls were so excited to get to watch a game with all of them. They are not that interested in football, to be quite honest with you. They actually yell at us any time we try to put football on the TV and only get on board after a little while of realizing that they can freely yell.”
She added of her youngest daughter, “Finnie slept for, like, an hour and a half there, so she’s a real one. She actually slept through all the screaming and cheering, which is hilarious to me.”

PlayStation Officially Announces Free Games for July 2026
Video game fans have had more than enough content so far this year to keep them satisfied, and one of the first new releases came back in March with Crimson Desert, hailing from the developer Pearl Abyss. Back at the start of June, one of the most anticipated games of the year finally dropped after years worth of delays, and it’s safe to say that 007 First Light lived up to the hype. Developer IO Interactive has already confirmed that it is working on a sequel to the game. Coming in July are two big releases on the same day, with Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and EA Sports College Football 27, which are both launching on July 9. This is only part of what gaming fans have to be excited about in 2026, though.
Coming in September from Insomniac, the same studio behind the critically acclaimed Spider-Man trilogy, is Marvel’s Wolverine, a brand-new PS5 exclusive following the legendary clawed mutant. This will be one of the last big releases before GTA 6, which has been set for release on November 19. For gamers who are looking for something to play while waiting for these exciting new releases coming in the next few months, PlayStation has you covered. Just a few days ago, the gaming company finally announced the trio of games that will be available for this month’s PS Plus subscribers, and they include Black Desert, Blades of Fire, and Farming Simulator 25. These games are all available to download for free, starting today, June 30, and anyone who downloads them before the end of the month will have access to them forever.
How Much Does ‘GTA 6’ Cost?
Last week, Rockstar Games finally revealed the prices for GTA 6, and fans have been divided over the latest update. The base GTA 6 game will cost $80, making it one of the first games in history to bump the price up from $70, and the Ultimate Edition for GTA 6 will cost $100. Players who pay the extra $20 for the Ultimate Edition will have access to additional cosmetic shops to customize cars, change clothes, adjust tattoos, and more. The base game launching on November 19 will also only be single-player, and Rockstar has confirmed that multiplayer will come at a later date, likely for an additional cost.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of all the hottest gaming releases coming later this year.

Extremely R-Rated Road Thriller You Never Heard Of Will Push Your Loyalty To The Limit
By Robert Scucci
| Published

I love tight thrillers with even tighter runtimes because sometimes you don’t need any worldbuilding whatsoever to set a story in motion. 2012’s Sun Don’t Shine is one of those films, clocking in at 82 minutes, and it’s an absolute masterclass in showing without telling, which is increasingly difficult to find these days in the streaming era.
By Season 5, the Stranger Things kids basically stared directly into the camera while spelling out crucial plot points to accommodate second-screen viewing. Lesser thrillers feel like we need to know everybody’s backstory before we can get into the conflict. Sometimes it’s necessary. Past is prologue, and we need some sort of character foundation to launch from.

Sun Don’t Shine isn’t that kind of movie, and its thrills come from not knowing where the protagonists are coming from or where they’re going. As a viewer, it’s up to you to put the pieces together and figure out exactly what the conflict is, and whether we should trust, or even like, the people whose lives we’re watching fall apart in real time.
It Starts With A Body And Gets So Much Worse
When we’re first introduced to Crystal (Kate Lyn Sheil), she’s in the middle of nowhere getting roughed up by a man named Leo (Kentucker Audley), who we soon learn is her boyfriend. Right off the rip, it’s reasonable to assume that Crystal is some sort of helpless abuse victim for a number of reasons. She’s very soft-spoken, appears to be in the middle of an ongoing mental health crisis, and we don’t know who, or what, is responsible for her current state of mind.

Leo is also a man of few words, but he seems determined to see his way through whatever nightmare he’s currently navigating. Through their conversations and behavior, we learn that there’s a dead body in the trunk of Leo’s car, but who killed him remains unclear.
Leo has a plan that he thinks will make everything better, which involves dropping Crystal off at a campsite while he spends the night with his ex-girlfriend, Terri (Kit Gwin), as a means of establishing alibis. Crystal, suspecting Leo of cheating on her with an old flame, refuses to stick to the script, and that’s when her rage, and his indifference, begins to surface for everybody to see.
This Movie Will Wreck You

What’s so enthralling about Sun Don’t Shine is how much it accomplishes by making you read between the lines. It actually trusts the viewer to arrive at their own conclusions. On the other side of the coin, by the time you reach the third act, you’ll have witnessed enough traumatizing scenes to fully understand what truly makes this relationship tick, who’s actually in the wrong, and who deserves a shot at redemption.
Not knowing who the body belongs to, or how they died, really makes you wonder why Leo is so on edge while handling the situation with Crystal. It’s during the quiet moments of reflection, when the couple isn’t on the run, that we learn just how messed up their lives are at this moment in time, and how their recent actions are about to blow up in their faces.

Kate Lyn Sheil’s ability to transform Crystal from a sobbing damsel in distress into a full-blown psycho, and Kentucker Audley’s willingness to wear whatever face Crystal needs his character to in the moment to make sure their plan goes off without a hitch, should be studied by filmmakers because I didn’t know who to root for until all the cards were laid out on the table.
Honestly, I still don’t. I’ll be thinking about Sun Don’t Shine for a long time because you only see what you see, and you have to read between the lines. Those lines, though, are crossed frequently and often blurred, making neither lead particularly sympathetic nor worthy of abject condemnation. We’re simply watching two people at their wits’ end after one, or both of them, did something horrible, and they’re trying to process the trauma of it all with very little time to lay low and gather their senses.

Sun Don’t Shine is far from an easy watch, but it’s a powerhouse of a thriller that will keep you up at night. The final lines uttered from Crystal’s mouth will haunt you, and if that’s what you’re looking for in a thriller, you’ll find it here.

As of this writing, Sun Don’t Shine is streaming for free on Tubi.

Young and Restless Early Spoilers July 6-10: Jack’s Risky Scheme, Sally Seething & Jill Leaves!
Young and the Restless spoilers for July 06-10, 2026 tease as Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is making a tricky move to outbox crazy Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). Plus, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is ticked at Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) running his mouth and Jill Abbott (Lauren Koslow) is going to make her exit out of Genoa City.
And as we always do on Early Edition Day, we’ll talk about the rest of this week and then discuss what is coming the week of July 6th through the 10th.
Young and the Restless: Schemes and Deceptions – July 1st Through 3rd
So, on Wednesday, July 1st, we’ve got Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) talking more with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) about hiring Billy. And of course, Lily thinks it’s a bad idea, but Cane thinks he can handle Billy and that he will be an asset to Chancellor. And Cane does admit he’s feeling a bit guilty. But Lily says Billy might destroy himself with this opportunity. But Cane is hoping to fix his family. So Lily finally says, “Okay, do it.”
Sally, meanwhile, worries Jill will shut down her company. And that’s because Billy told Jill he knows she funded Sally when he said he would keep that secret. Billy says that Cane is CEO of Chancellor and he’s ticked about that and Jill’s approval of Cane and the role. And Billy’s wallowing in his mommy issues until Cane calls and says, “Bring Sally and come meet us.”
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Cane Stuns Billy
So, Billy and Sally join Cane and Lily. They offer congratulations on Sally’s baby and their engagement. And Billy is stunned when Cane asks him to head up R&D at Chancellor. Billy asks what Sally thinks and she wants him to take his time before deciding. Then they leave. Lily likes this new version of Cane and they do some smooching.
Meanwhile, Jack tells Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) that he got onto Laurence Markham’s (Jere Burns) property, but the guy’s got guard dogs that chased him off. Jack is sure that Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is in the house, and Kyle thinks Patty warned Markham, and that’s why he called on him and was there.
Jack has the private eye staking out Markham’s, but says they don’t have enough to bring in the cops yet. So Jack wonders why Dr. Markham is helping Patty. And then Jack comes up with a new angle to try. He goes home and finds a note from Patty asking him to meet her in the hot tub.
And Jack gets into Patty’s phone and texts Markham to meet her ASAP, saying it’s an emergency. He then alerts Kyle, who heads over to Markham’s. So, it looks like Jack is going to distract Patty while Markham is lured away so Kyle can get in there.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Diane’s Plan in Motion
We have Diane fussing about the barking dogs, and Markham says they’re very loyal. He likes the outfit he picked out for Diane, and there’s some flirting going on. Markham says he got her the sedatives she wanted and says he’ll give her one each night at bedtime. Diane plans to cook them dinner and asks him to get wine.
Markham goes to grab a bottle from the cellar and Diane rifles his pockets, finds the bottle, and takes some of the sleeping pills. She flirts with Markham, tells him she appreciates him and wants to make him a nice dinner to thank him. He seems totally smitten with Diane.
And then Markham gets the text from Jack from Patty’s phone, says he’s got a patient emergency, and then he hustles out. Diane promises to hold dinner for him. And when Markham’s gone, she crushes the pills and drugs his food.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Thursday, July 2nd
Nate opens up to Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) about the past. I’m wondering if Nate’s going to explain why he is not a surgeon anymore. This story is not pretty. Do you guys remember Nate was sleeping with Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) when she was with Devon Hamilton (Bryton James)?
And then when he found out, he pummeled Nate, who wound up severing a hand tendon, and that caused the nerve damage that makes Nate’s hands too shaky to perform surgery anymore. And I’m curious to see if Nate’s going to tell Stephanie that Devon’s the one who caused his injury and why Nate got his butt kicked to start with. I think Devon went too hard, but obviously Nate wasn’t innocent.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Noah & Nick Don’t Trust Matt
Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) is trying to convince Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) of something, but they just don’t believe him. Don’t blame them. This may be more of Matt trying to sell his redeemed guy. I do wonder if Roger Howarth is going to be ousted when the new writer comes to Y&R because so many fans hate the rapist redemption storyline. I’d honestly be fine if they just killed off Matt and wrote a new character for Roger Howarth. They did that on General Hospital when his rapist redemption storyline on the ABC soap got continual push back and criticism from fans over there.
Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has a plan that he will not reveal and I suspect it’s about making things right with Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). I’m expecting a grand gesture from Victor. Maybe the house being set up to accommodate a vision-impaired Nikki because I’d be stunned in July Sweeps if her eyesight starts working right away.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Friday, July 3rd
Kyle makes a move to rescue Diane from Markham’s house, but things go in an unexpected way. So, Jack sent that fake text from Patty’s phone to Markham to lure him out. That way, Kyle can get in, but the dogs are free range on the property. I think they’re Dobermans. So, I hope Kyle does not get eaten.
Meanwhile, Jack plays a dangerous game with Patty, so Jack’s got to keep her distracted and away from her phone while Kyle does his thing. So, Jack may have to get in the hot tub with his psycho house guest. I would love it if Kyle saves Diane, but that seems awfully fast for any Josh Griffith plot.
Can I just say again how excited I am that he’s about to be gone. So, I hope CBS Daytime is going through a whole pile of resumes right now to replace him for Young and the Restless. But it looks like we’ve got about three more months of his nonsense though before a new writer is in place. They are aiming for the start of Season 54, which kicks off in October.

Young and the Restless: Romance and Relapse Risks – July 6th Through 10th
The week of July 6th through the 10th, official Y&R spoilers have Lily letting her guard down with Cane. And I expect Lily takes things to the bedroom with Cane. And I think we’re going to see Lily and Cane enjoying some sexy time in July Sweeps. Him being all nice to Billy with that guilt-motivated job offer impressed her. Even though Lily knows she’ll probably have to end up firing Billy.
Sally wants Billy to take time considering Cane’s job offer, but come on, there’s no way that Billy will turn down the chance to be a Chancellor executive. However, as Lily said, this could lead Billy down another path of self-destruction.
We still have a few more Jill episodes left before the short recast run is done. I think maybe three more episodes, so she should be done by the end of the week of July 6th.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: The Newmans Wait Anxiously
The Newmans wait to see if Nikki’s got her eyesight back when the bandages come off, but it wouldn’t be very soapy if she did. I expect more of a gradual recovery. Meanwhile, Victor has his work cut out for him as he and Nikki continue to be tested.
Nick’s struggles may soon get the better of him. Official Y&R spoilers point to a relapse, and it might come after he walks in on Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Matt in a compromising position soon. I’m interested to see Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case) reaction to Phyllis dating the man who assaulted her once and tried to do it another time.
Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) continues to support Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) through Nikki’s health crisis, and they get more serious. Meanwhile, Stephanie continues to prompt Nate to consider a return to medicine in some capacity, you know, even if it is not into surgery.
Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jill Catches Up with Loved Ones
Cane is excited to spend more time with Jill. She and Lily need to catch up, too. And Cane will welcome Billy with open arms at Chancellor. Plus, Sally also gets some facetime with her future mother-in-law, Jill, who’s also the primary and sole investor in her business. They’re going to talk baby and wedding plans and more about Spectra Designs and how it’s doing.
Patty’s going to come totally unglued when she finds out what Jack and Kyle have cooked up behind her back. Diane is increasingly desperate to get away from Markham. Hopefully, she’s free soon. And July spoilers say that Patty is far from done wreaking havoc on Diane and Jack’s marriage.

Marvel’s Best Detective Is Officially Returning to Paramount’s 10/10 Crime Thriller
After a 12-year gap since its successful run that also led to a much-needed franchise expansion, Dexter returned to television with arguably its best series so far. Taking place in Miami, Dexter tells the story of its title character, a forensic technician who specializes in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro PD. However, he secretly leads a double life as a vigilante serial killer, targeting murderers who evade justice because of corruption or legal loopholes.
The crime hit aired on Showtime from October 1, 2006, to September 22, 2013, spanning 8 seasons and 96 episodes, which attracted a large audience and received critical acclaim. Due to this success, Dexter expanded into multiple sequels, including one that’s returning for its highly anticipated second season. Easily the best and most beloved franchise sequel, Dexter: Resurrection last aired on September 5, 2025, with that massive finale, and a month later, the psychological thriller was renewed. A release date has yet to be announced; however, several casting updates have made headlines over the past few weeks, with the most recent hinting at the resurrection of a character who was killed off.
Per new reports, Krysten Ritter is returning to New York as a guest star for another season of Dexter: Resurrection for Paramount+. Her character details remain under wraps, but that definitely won’t stop fans from coming up with theories, seeing as her Season 1 character, Mia, a.k.a. Lady Vengeance, a serial killer by night and sommelier by day, was killed while in jail. Ritter joins the previously announced Uma Thurman, who returns for Season 2 to reprise her character, Charley.
Who Else Stars in ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Season 2?
In addition to Ritter and Thurman, the new cast for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 includes newcomers Brian Cox as The New York Ripper, Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer, Bokeem Woodbine as Captain Mixon, and Nona Parker Johnson as Fiona Mixon.
From showrunner and executive producer Clyde Phillips, Season 1 of Dexter: Resurrection is set ten weeks after the events of Dexter: New Blood. Michael C. Hall reprises his role as Dexter Morgan, who took a bullet to the chest from his own son Harrison (Jack Alcott). Upon recovering from his near-fatal gunshot wound, he finds Harrison is gone without a trace, but eventually tracks him to New York City. But when Captain Angel Batista tracks him from Miami, Dexter realizes that his past is catching up with him faster than he realized. A description for Season 2 has yet to be revealed.
Stay tuned for more updates about Dexter: Resurrection Season 2.

This Award-Winning Series Is Still the Greatest American TV Show Ever Made
Ask someone what their favorite TV show is, and you’ll get a variety of answers. Maybe The Sopranos is your all-time fave. Perhaps it’s The Simpsons, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, or countless others. However, to be the greatest TV show ever made requires more than just personal taste. To be considered for such elite status, a series must not only be high quality, but it must also transcend limitations and influence pop culture and entertainment that comes after. You won’t find a better TV show that fits these criteria than Seinfeld. It was the epitome of 90s culture, and nearly 30 years after its end, it’s still as important as ever.
‘Seinfeld’ Tore Down Sitcoms Tropes and Inspired Shows That Came After
When Seinfeld debuted on NBC in 1989, audiences had expectations for sitcoms. The genre, half as long as a drama, was meant to be quick, breezy entertainment. Audiences didn’t watch sitcoms to get overly invested like they would with a drama. A comedy series is what you watched at the end of a long day as a way to relax before bed, laughing with characters who felt almost like family. They weren’t too complicated, and at the end of the half hour, the leads made up, the in-studio audience applauded, and next week it was more of the same.
Seinfeld was different. Co-created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, they famously didn’t want their show to be about hugs and lessons learned. It was a show about nothing. On the surface, its premise is familiar. Seinfeld plays a fictionalized version of himself, a single stand-up comedian living in New York City. Across the hall lives his zany neighbor, Kramer (Michael Richards). There’s also Jerry’s best friend since childhood, George Costanza (Jason Alexander), a highly anxious man who blames everyone else for his failures. Last, and certainly not least, as the only woman in the group, is Jerry’s ex-girlfriend, Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), who must navigate through the men in her life.
Despite this, Seinfeld wasn’t a will-they-won’t-they between Jerry and Elaine. Very early in its run, they did tease putting them back together, but that’s never what the show was about. These two are definitely not meant to be together romantically. Instead, Seinfeld was about these off-the-wall characters doing whatever they had to to get what they wanted. The humor was found in how far these selfish characters would go and in seeing them get their comeuppance. Rather than ending an episode with a hug, someone got their just desserts.
Seinfeld broke out of the cutesy, family-centric sitcom mold and thrived on unpredictability. Its edginess lived on long after the show came to an end after nine seasons in 1998. There’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, of course, but also the likes of Everybody Loves Raymond, Arrested Development, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 30 Rock, and Veep, which succeeded in finding comedy with the unlikable. No matter how great they are, though, none did it first or better than Seinfeld.
‘Seinfeld’ Won Several Emmys, but Its Best Character Was Shut Out
Unless you were alive and watching during the 90s, it’s impossible to describe just how pervasive Seinfeld was in society. While most shows began to lose their audience over the years, Seinfeld somehow continued to grow season by season, quickly becoming the most-watched show in America. And it wasn’t just that we were watching. It’s what we talked about. Seinfeld was the water cooler show on Friday mornings. Every episode seemed to birth a new quote that millions were soon saying themselves, whether it was “Yada, yada, yada,” “No soup for you!” or “Serenity now!” What other sitcom can say that?
Seinfeld was 1990s America, even more than The Simpsons, Michael Jordan, or Bill Clinton. It was the message of an era where the economy was booming, everyone felt safe, and selfish desires were at the forefront, while we also stayed connected. These characters aren’t lost in their smartphones, and they have no clue that 9/11 is coming. Seinfeld is incredibly smart while also being incredibly simple. Its intelligence is found not only in the wild plots but in the supporting cast as well. Jerry Stiller and Estelle Harris became iconic as George’s parents. And someone like Patrick Warburton could find forever-fame as Elaine’s dunce boyfriend David Puddy, even though he was only in 11 episodes. Oftentimes, the supporting characters were stranger and more incomprehensible than the leads, giving them a reason for their bad behavior.
Seinfeld was nominated for multiple Emmys every year, yet it was still a show taken for granted, and perhaps even a bit before its time with voters, who often gifted trophies to more traditional sitcoms like Frasier. Seinfeld did get its share of award show recognition, but Jerry Seinfeld never took home a single acting trophy, and neither did Jason Alexander, even while doing his best Larry David imitation. The show itself won for Outstanding Comedy Series in 1993. Michael Richards’ over-the-top physicality won him three trophies, and the brilliance of Julia Louis-Dreyfus got her one. Over nine seasons, Seinfeld was nominated for 68 Emmys and won 10.
Today, Seinfeld is still popular, whether it be TV syndication or dominating the Netflix charts. In these strange and uncertain times, where TV is about dark dramas and sitcoms no longer have a huge impact, it’s clear audiences still want to laugh, and there’s no better show to turn to than the greatest of all time.

Billie Eilish Slammed For Calling Parents ‘Lazy’ Over School
Billie Eilish has drawn severe backlash over her past comments about parents who choose to send their kids to school instead of homeschooling.
In a viral clip, the singer, who was homeschooled, talked about her experience learning directly from her parents, claiming that it’s a better method than “lazy” parents who opt to send their kids to school to learn.
Billie Eilish is no stranger to being dragged online, as she recently came under fire for her remarks about meat eaters, which she has since doubled down on.

Eilish is facing fresh backlash over comments she made in a 2019 interview for Pitchfork’s “Over/Under” series, which has recently gone viral on social media.
In the clip, the singer spoke candidly about her unconventional upbringing, admitting that she has “never been to school” and instead “grew up homeschooled.”
She noted that unlike traditional schooling, where kids get “sat down” and made to study, she naturally learned how to do things by watching her parents.
“I learned how to do math by cooking with my mom and seeing how many halves are gonna make this amount. … and then like I learned how to build sh-t from my dad,” the singer said before going on to slam parents who don’t homeschool.
Eilish said, “I mean, there’s a lot of ways to do it. I think some people do it the wrong way, which is just like, makes your life horrible and miserable and boring.”
“And that’s mainly because parents are lazy as f-ck,” she added. “That’s why they send their kids to school in the first place. ‘I don’t want to teach you, b-tch.’”
Eilish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, have previously explained that their home education prioritized creative freedom, giving them the flexibility to chase their passion for music rather than following a rigid school curriculum.
On social media, Eilish has come under heavy scrutiny for the old comments, with many especially calling her out for branding working parents as “lazy.”
“Rich kid who never went to real school calling working parents lazy for using the system that actually exists. Tone deaf and immature as hell,” one X user said.
Another wrote, “Sooo if parents are supposed to teach their homeschooled kids everything, when do they have time to go to work and provide for the household? This only works if you’re highly privileged already.”
“Apparently, from the number of stupid things she has said and continues to say, there was definitely something missing in that education,” a third individual commented.
One more person noted, “Billie, some people are chemists or actuaries; it needs to go beyond cooking, so sorry.”
Billie Eilish’s Brother And Mom Praised Homeschooling For Its Flexibility

In the same resurfaced interview, Eilish’s brother, Finneas, had nothing but praise for the unconventional schooling method, claiming that it is all about “self-discovery.”
“It’s something that I’ve really enjoyed and thrived under. I’m not at a high school where I have to base my self-worth off what other people think of me,” he noted, per the Daily Mail.
“I have to think, ‘What would I like to be doing? How would I like to be as a person?’ I think that’s an enormously positive thing,” he said.
Eilish and Finneas’ mother, Maggie Baird, shared similar sentiments in the same interview, saying, “Everybody’s always out doing things, traveling, going places, meeting for classes, and organizing field trips. It’s like going to college.”
“You take what you want, where you want it, and you find what you need… Homeschooling allows us to let them do the things that they really love to do and not have a giant academic schedule on top of it,” she added.

More recently, Eilish found herself at the center of a fiery internet debate over vegan lifestyle and comments about meat eaters.
The singer sparked widespread backlash after sharing an uncompromising take on animal rights during a sit-down interview with Elle.
When asked to name one hill she would die on, Eilish prefaced her response by warning viewers they wouldn’t like her answer before declaring that eating meat is inherently wrong.
“Eating meat is inherently wrong. And then the other thing is two things cannot coincide: ‘I love all animals so much’ and ‘I eat meat.’ You just can’t do both. Sorry!” the singer said boldly. “You could eat meat. Go for it. You could love animals. But you can’t do both.”
Unsurprisingly, the comment went viral online, leading to a wave of harsh remarks blasting Eilish and the vegan lifestyle.
The “Bad Guy” singer has been a dedicated vegan since the age of 12 after being raised as a vegetarian, and she has long used her platform to expose the harsh ethical realities of the commercial meat and dairy industries.

Despite facing backlash for her comments about meat eaters, Eilish doubled down online, telling her critics to “watch a documentary” and to look at footage of how the animals they “claim to love” are treated all for the production of meat and dairy.
The singer also urged them to learn what it “does to the planet [they] pretend to love as well,” adding, “If that footage was hard for u to watch, I encourage u to pls take a look at urself.”
Earlier this year, at the Grammy Awards, Eilish also came under heavy scrutiny for saying that “no one is illegal on stolen land.”
It led to a nationwide outcry, with critics charging the singer to give up her luxury homes to Native American tribes or migrant families.
