Dave Grohl shocked fans on Tuesday when he revealed that he’d fathered a secret love child while cheating on his wife of more than 20 years, Jordyn Blum.

While the news is devastating for many, some of Taylor Swift‘s fans have been rejoicing in the 55-year-old rocker’s downfall after he dissed Swift back in June.

While performing at London Stadium in June, Grohl took a swipe at Swift’s Eras tour by suggesting that her band didn’t play live.

Following the news of Grohl’s infidelity, Swifties have flooded social media to gloat about the Everlong singer’s marital troubles – with many calling it ‘karma’.

‘Dave Grohl having his one sided beef with Taylor and then him having a child OUTSIDE OF HIS MARRIAGE. Karma is her boyfriend!’ one posted on X.

‘So Dave Grohl attacked Taylor Swift’s artistic integrity earlier this year for no reason and you’re only now surprised he has no respect for women,’ wrote another.

Another posted, ‘Dave Grohl was confirmed bad when he was an arse about Taylor Swift so it’s giving karma is the child born outside of your marriage isn’t it?’

The Foo Fighters frontman took a swipe at Swift in June, dubbing her Eras tour the ‘Errors’ Tour while quipping that his band ‘actually play live’.

While performing at the London Stadium, he referred to Swift while she was playing the same night on the other side of the capital in Wembley – to boos from some fans.

He addressed the crowd: ‘We were joking about the Taylor Swift tour earlier. I know that she’s on her “Errors” Tour.

‘I tell you man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift. So we like to call our tour the Errors Tour,’ he continued.

‘We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few f***ing errors as well. Just a couple.’

The rock legend clarified: ‘That’s because we actually play live. What?’

To great cheers, he continued: ‘Just saying. You guys like raw live rock ‘n’ roll music right? You came to the right f***ing place!’

On Tuesday, Grohl has admitted to cheating on his wife Jordyn Blum and fathering a secret baby girl.

The Foo Fighters singer made the shocking admission on a statement posted to Instagram.

The statement read: ‘I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.

‘I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.’

Grohl and Blum, 48, met in 2001 and have been married since 2003, sharing three daughters – Violet, Harper and Ophelia.

Lawrence, Will Friedle and Rider Strong joked that they didn’t appreciate the attention the boy banders lavished on co-star Danielle Fishel

It seems the male cast members of Boy Meets World weren’t particularly in sync with a certain boy band when they visited the set of the beloved ’90s sitcom.

On the most recent episode of rewatch podcast Pod Meets World, Matthew Lawrence joined hosts Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong to share memories of their time starring in Boy Meets World, including of *NSYNC’s frequent visits to the show’s set.

“I don’t know if you guys — well, of course, you remember this — but when *NYSYNC kept coming over to the set?” Lawrence recalled. “I found out years later when I bumped into Justin [Timberlake] that he thought I was not very nice.”

“He didn’t like me. And he flat out told me to my face,” Lawrence said, recalling an encounter he had with the “Cry Me a River” singer around the time that his debut solo album Justified was released in 2002. “I was a huge fan. I didn’t have any recollection of this, and he was like, ‘Oh, yeah. Yeah, now you wanna be friends with me? You were so mean on the set.’ ”

Lawrence and Strong chalked Timberlake’s take on the actor up to Lawrence’s shyness.

“I was super shy,” Lawrence said, “and also, I had, you know, kind of a crush on Danielle. And these guys kept rolling up on set, like, trying to hit on her!”

“Just orbiting around Danielle in a constant circle,” Strong recalled.

“I was wonder if you were gonna say it,” Fishel said, laughing. “I was like, I also know why he was probably a little sandoffish …”

“I remember us guys would always be like, ‘These dudes! Oh my god, they come around here…’ ” Strong recalled. “And we would watch Danielle, like, completely ignore all of us. We would, like, lose our sister. We would just lose her, and we’d be like, ‘Oh, god. She totally changes around them. She just totally changes.’ ”

Friedle joked that, despite her “one-in-five chance” of finding romance with a member of one of the biggest pop acts in the world at the time, Fishel “chose poorly.”

The actress famously dated Lance Bass for about a year while she was still starring in Boy Meets World, and the singer even escorted Fishel to her high school prom. Bass, of course, came out publicly as gay in 2006. On a 2022 episode of Pod Meets World, the pair said they were working on a film based on their teen romance.

“I liked the comfort and security of knowing nothing was gonna happen!” Fishel joked of her relationship with Bass on this week’s episode of the podcast.

Friedle also remembered a hilarious moment on set with Timberlake involving a baby doll that stood in for newborn Joshua Matthews, younger brother to Friedle and Ben Savage’s characters.

“The thing I remember is you and I, one time, Matt, were hanging out. It must have been season 7. Like, they just had the baby, whenever the baby happened on the show. Because at one point, they gave us the baby the doll,” Friedle said. “I think it was Justin and Joey [Fatone] were there. I forget who it was, but I was just playing with the doll and putting the cigarette in its mouth and then, like, making it cough and, like, Justin just looked at me, like, ‘Are you actually crazy?’ ”

“He’s like, ‘Dude, this is insane,’ ” Friedle recalled. “I’m like, ‘Yeah. This is what we do. This is our day at work.’ ”

Rachel Maddow told the hosts of The View that she is “worried” about what is going to happen during Tuesday night’s presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump—especially after what happened last time.

When the host of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show appeared on Tuesday, she explained how much one debate can change a race, with Biden and Trump’s last matchup as the most glaring example. “It shows you the power of a debate,” Maddow said of her surprise at Biden stepping down to make way for Harris’ nomination.

“We’ve never had a debate as consequential in American history as that last debate,” she continued. “In five minutes in that last debate, his presidency became a one-term presidency, the Democrats changed their candidate, it was a month before the conventions and it’s an all-new general election—which makes me feel humble and worried about what’s gonna happen tonight.” Maddow added, “Anything could happen. I’m braced for anything from zero to a million.”

In a previous appearance on the show, Maddow declared that Biden’s position as the Democratic nominee was a “fixed variable,” but admitted Tuesday that she had to eat some “humble pie” as he stepped down and Harris became the party’s nominee. Now, she said, it remains to be seen whether Harris’ ascent will mean that the country will keep its current “system of government.”

“We can disagree on most things in politics but agree that we need to stand up for keeping elections,” she said, referencing Trump and the January 6 riot. “[And] keeping the system by which if you’re voted out, you have to leave and you don’t get to mount a riot to try to stay.”

“The pro-democracy coalition is much bigger than any one party,” she said, and “in this election, that’s the Harris coalition.” That said, Harris still has a battle ahead for Tuesday night’s debate. “We know a little about what Trump is like in a presidential debate, in this time of his life, because we saw him with Joe Biden,” Maddow continued, describing Trump as “incoherent” even as Biden’s performance captured most of the country’s attention.

“With Kamala Harris, she’s a very good debater, but she hasn’t debated anybody in four years,” Maddow said, adding that Trump “gets graded on a curve.”

“When you say all of these things that are completely off the chart in terms of radicalism and bizarreness, then every new bizarre thing needs to hit this really high bar in order to count as news,” so Harris won’t be able to skate if he goes off the rails, Maddow explained.

Sunny Hostin said Harris “has a very tough job ahead of her,” during the debate since she “can’t fall into the attack mode because then she falls into the trope of the angry Black woman.” Alyssa Farah Griffin added that Harris has “more to lose but more to gain” from the matchup, while Sara Haines advised the VP not to “take the bait [from Trump] and keep moving.”

And Whoopi Goldberg said she hoped Harris “doesn’t deal with him” directly: “He’s a distraction. She knows it, and we know it.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are one of the longest-standing couples from the 2000s. They met during a ski trip in Park City, Utah, in January 2007, and sparks began to fly. The “Sexy Back” singer popped the question almost five years later in December 2011 and they married in an intimate wedding in Tuscany, Italy, in October 2012. In April 2015, the couple welcomed their first son, Silas, and then went on to add ​their second son, ​Phineas, to the family in January 2021.

Throughout their 17 years together, the couple has weathered everything from cheating rumors to Justin’s backlash from Britney Spears’ memoir, The Woman in Me. Since the couple keeps their love life private, fans can’t help but wonder if Justin and Jessica are still together.

Are Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Still Together?

As of January 2024, Justin and Jessica ​seem to be still together. Justin released a new song that month titled “Selfish,” which seemed to declare his everlasting love for Jessica.

In the single Justin croons that his “heart is beating for you all the time,” which is followed by the chorus, “It’s bad for my mental, but I can’t fight it when you’re out lookin’ like you do, but you can’t hide it.”

Jessica even put on her supportive wifey helmet by publicly showing her approval of the song by making an at-home music video-style TikTok with the sound.

Before the release, Jessica shared photos of herself and the “Cry Me a River” artist enjoying a night out in Las Vegas in December 2023. She was there to support Justin as he performed at the event at the Fontainebleau.

Jessica also posted a sweet birthday message for Justin in January 2023, showing fans that their love was as strong as ever.

“Happy birthday to the person who challenges and inspires me every day,” Jessica wrote in a caption on Instagram next to photos of her and Justin cuddling up to one another on a boat. “The person who keeps me laughing and creating and risking it all. The person who makes ordinary extraordinary. You know who you are. I love you.”

Did Justin Timberlake Cheat on Jessica Biel?

Three years after they started dating in 2007, Justin and Jessica faced their first cheating scandal. The couple split in March 2011 over Justin’s alleged ​affair with ​Olivia Munn. In October 2010, Us Weekly reported that Justin had a three-day fling with Olivia that September. ​

A source revealed to the publication ​at the time that Justin “[had] been telling people it’s over with Jessica, even though the reality is he’s just doing it behind her back.”

However, Justin’s rep adamantly denied the allegations while Olivia’s rep refused to comment on the actress’ personal life.

Jessica and Justin were able to work through his alleged infidelity. They got back together in November 2011 and went on to marry in October 2012. Their marriage seemed to be smooth sailing until they faced cheating rumors once again in November 2019. While filming the movie Palmer, the “Can’t Stop the Feeling” singer was spotted out with the costars and crew of the film in New Orleans. Photos showed Justin holding hands with actress Alisha Wainwright and she rested her hand on his knee. ​

A rep for Alisha said there was “no validity to this speculation” and added that she and Justin were simply “working on a project together.”

Justin himself ​released a statement ​denying the ​cheating claims a few days later.

“I stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people I love,” he said. “A few weeks ago, I displayed a strong lapse in judgment – but let me be clear – nothing happened between me and my costar. I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better.”

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s Reactions to Britney Spears Bombshell

Justin found himself in the hot seat once again after Britney Spears released her memoir and claimed that she got pregnant with their child at just 19 years old. The “Toxic” singer said that Justin ​”wasn’t happy about the pregnancy,” and she “agreed not to have the baby.” Fans of Britney relentlessly slammed the​ ‘NSync alum. However, the bombshell affected Jessica as well.

“Of course, Justin and Jessica were affected by the accusations,” a source exclusively revealed to Life & Style in December 2023. “Justin makes no excuses for his past behavior, and he’s sorry but he’s a different person now, with a family, a career, responsibilities. Jessica knows that.”

Taylor Swift may have been wearing an outfit that cost over $60,000 while she watched boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce play against the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium last night, but many critics are tearing into her for the fashion choice.

Swift, 34, made her debut this season sporting a $1,750 Versace denim corset top that had gold Medusa detailing at the top, coupled with a matching pair of denim short-shorts.

She accessorized the look with a pair of $1,650 sky-high, patent leather Giuseppe Zanotti boots in maroon, and small black Louis Vuitton trunk bag with gold hardware that retails for $3,950 – in theme with the Chiefs’ signature red color, of course.

The pop star, who just wrapped up the European leg of her sold-out Eras Tour, also showed up to the game decked out in luxurious gold jewels, like her $13,200 gold link bracelet by Lizzie Mandler and $29,100 interlocking puzzle ring by Retrouvai.

On her neck was a $12,750 large coin necklace from the brand For Future Reference sold exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, according to Business Insider.

For a finishing touch, her ears also sparkled with gold accessories, including $850 mini diamond huggies from EF Collection and a $590 starburst charm designed by Three Stories Jewelry.

However, even though the Chiefs took home a win last night during their opening game, it doesn’t seem like Swift’s outfit scored with some online detractors.

On various Reddit threads, some trolls even went as far as to say it was their ‘least favorite look’ – with one person even comparing it to a ‘redneck trying to be sexy.’

‘I hate it, it’s my least favorite fit she’s worn. I attacked it on IG and now I’m getting attacked. It’s giving redneck trying to be sexy. I don’t like the lack of Chiefs merch either,’ they wrote.

Another agreed, ‘Who the hell approved of this? The denims are mismatched and the makeup is not it.’

‘The hair doesn’t work with the outfit; the boots look super odd with denim and she doesn’t have the range for them; the denim is mismatched. Hot mess express,’ one person quipped.

‘I would absolutely cheer for the outfit if she wore it out to club or party. It’s not perfect, but her stylist sucks at his job so the bar is in hell,’ someone else typed.

Some pointed out that the color of the corset didn’t exactly match the shorts she wore, either.

 

 

On Reddit, many critics didn’t seem to be fans of her outfit, including one user who called it ‘redneck trying to be sexy’ – while others said she looked ‘hot’

‘It’s always one thing off with her looks. I actually think this is a pretty appropriate football game look but the jeans and top don’t match in wash and stitching and it loses the cohesiveness and feels less intentional,’ a Redditor mused.

A second agreed, ‘I’m really thrown by how the denim doesn’t match. It’s a similar wash, but not the same, so it doesn’t look purposeful.’

Others compared her look to some of Blake Lively’s recent fashion missteps, particularly in her new movie, It Ends With Us.

‘This looks like a Blake styling job,’ someone commented.

‘This is such a Blake look. Thank you for helping me place what’s happening,’ another admitted.

However, other fans were divided over the look, with tons of other Swifties praising her for the fun style.

‘I think she looks amazing! And those boots!!! My 5’0′ ass could never pull those off,’ an enthusiast wrote.

Someone else concurred, ‘Kind of obsessed with the top. I know it’s nothing revolutionary and that lots of people have been wearing stuff like that lately but I really like it on her.’

‘I love her outfit and the boots, she looks hot!’ one commenter wrote.

But although some online users didn’t love her outfit, it seems like there are plenty more where that came from, as the 2024 football season is just beginning.

 

Last night , Swift took her usual seat in Kelce’s luxury suite alongside his father Ed and mother Donna, right, for a gripping NFL game

 

The Cruel Summer hitmaker also did not sit with Brittany Mahomes, despite the two watching numerous games together last season

 

Swift’s appearance at the highly-anticipated season opener comes after Kelce’s reps were forced to deny that the A-list couple have plans to split later this month

Last night, Swift took her usual seat in Kelce’s luxury suite alongside his father Ed and mother Donna for a gripping NFL game.

She cheered on her beloved boyfriend, Kelce, who she has been dating since July 2023.

The Cruel Summer hitmaker also did not sit with Brittany Mahomes, despite the two watching numerous games together last season, but the high-profile pals did hang out after the game.

It comes after the wife of the Chiefs’ star quarterback Patrick appeared to support Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

Swift’s appearance at the highly-anticipated season opener comes after Kelce’s reps were forced to deny that the A-list couple have plans to split later this month.

Rumors of a shock separation came to light earlier this week when a document written on the headed paper of Kelce’s American PR company was spread online.

The paperwork, which appeared to have been created by Los Angeles-based firm Full Scope, revealed a pre-planned strategy to announce an amicable split on September 28 – however, the agency has vehemently denied it, claiming that they were ‘entirely false and fabricated.’ 

Kelce has also gotten his lawyers involved in the matter.

Ana Navarro has weighed in on the arrest of Tyreek Hill and described it as ‘outrageous and disgusting’ after the Miami Dolphins star was handcuffed and restrained on the ground after being stopped by cops for speeding in his McLaren.

Sharing a video of the bodycam footage of the September 8 incident on her Instagram page, the 52-year-old TV star accused the Miami-Dade police officers of ‘abusing their power’ and called for them to lose their jobs.

Posting the clip to her 792,000 followers, Ana captioned it: ‘This happened in my hometown. This is outrageous and disgusting. It hurts that much more because it is Latinos abusing their power and using it against Blacks.’

 

‘If it can happen to a star @dolphins player driving into the stadium, it can happen to anyone. Shame on them. I want their a**es fired. Now. They are an embarrassment to law enforcement,’ she fumed.

Ana’s fans were quick to comment on the post as one person claimed: ‘The police officers escalated the situation and blew it out of control,’ and a second said: ‘His only crime. DWB. Driving While Black. I am disgusted.’

A third agreed with The View host and commented: ‘Thank you Anna!!!! They need to be fired immediately,’ while a fourth added: ‘Fired and SUED AND Charged with a hate crime.’

Another person asked: ‘Why did so many cops have to stop one car?’ while someone else commented: ‘The police should be trained to de-escalate situations, not to go on power trips. This is a star player from the Miami Dolphins who did absolutely nothing to deserve this treatment. Now imagine our children in a situation like this.’

On Monday, dramatic bodycam footage emerged of the moment Tyreek was detained by cops and pinned to the ground near Hard Rock Stadium.

The wide receiver was placed in handcuffs while driving to the Dolphins’ season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. ‘Take me to jail, brother. Do what you have to do,’ Tyreek told the officers.

Cops could then be heard telling Tyreek to ‘stop crying’ after dragging him out of his car and forcing him face down on to the road.

‘When we tell you to do something, you do it. You understand? Not what you want, what we tell you. You’re a little f***ing confused,’ an officer told him.

A Florida police union claimed that Tyreek was driving dangerously when he was pulled over in Miami on Sunday and that he was cuffed after refusing to cooperate.

However, Tyreek said he had ‘no idea’ what sparked his detainment, while his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, claimed the football player was cited for reckless driving and driving without a license.

Tyreek was soon pinned to the floor and warned: ‘When we tell you to do something, you do it’

Speaking about the incident, Tyreek claimed ‘it went from 0 to 60 immediately’, and told NBC Nightly News: ‘If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, Lord knows… worst-case scenario, I would have been shot or would have been locked up.’

The Dolphins described the video as ‘both maddening and heartbreaking.’ The team vowed to stand with Tyreek and called for ‘swift and strong action’ against the officers guilty of ‘overly aggressive’, ‘violent’ and ‘despicable’ behavior.

Meanwhile, former cop turned conservative social media influencer Brandon Tatum has revealed that Tyreek made a big mistake during the incident by rolling his windows back up after being stopped.

Brandon pointed at Tyreek rolling up his window in front of police as a problem, saying, ‘You rolled the window down and rolled the window back up. Why you mad at them ’cause you speeding? Roll your window down.’

Discussing the incident in a video on his YouTube channel, Brandon defended the cops in question and accused Tyreek: ‘You lyin’ to the world. Now the body-worn camera [footage] came out, “I don’t have no idea why they put me in handcuffs” – the cop told you.

‘He actually warned you, then he told you, “Imma pull you out of the car, keep the window down.” Why are you rolling the window up?’ Brandon continued.

‘That’s an officer safety issue. They don’t know this man. He could be pulling a g*n out. Keep the window down. They asked you a simple question. You’re the one at fault, not them.’

Tyreek told CNN that the reason he rolled his window back up was so that bystanders did not recognize him as the whole affair was going down.

Cops were heard telling the NFL star to ‘stop crying’ after they had dragged him out of his car

 

Tyreek was eventually released and went on to play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars

‘I’m not trying to cause a scene because if I let me window down, people walking by and driving by they’re going to know that it’s me and they’re going to start taking pictures,’ he said.

‘I didn’t want to create a scene at all. I just really wanted to get the ticket and then go on my way and have a great Sunday.’

Following the incident, Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie Daniels announced on Sunday that she had ordered an internal affairs investigation and that one of the officers involved had been placed on administrative duties pending the outcome.

‘We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers,’ she said in a statement.

‘I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident, and we are also reviewing available body camera footage. We will provide updates as further information becomes available.’

‘I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers,’ Daniels added.

At least one of the officers who detained Tyreek did not know who the wide receiver was – with another cop having to inform him.

Taylor Swift’s latest crisis: Fans beg singer to avoid Travis Kelce’s first NFL game of the season after pop billionaire’s Kansas City Chiefs WAG bestie Brittany Mahomes is shouted out by Donald Trump for her support

When Taylor Swift went public with Travis Kelce at a Kansas City Chiefs game last year, she immediately cemented herself among the team’s loyal squad of WAGs.

And in the 12 months since debuting her romance with the American Football star, 34,  the 14-time Grammy winner has formed a particularly close friendship with Britanny Mahomes – the wife of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28.

Throughout the season, Taylor was spotted at games cheering on her beau – often with Brittany by her side, usually in a matching outfit.

But Brittany, 29, who is currently pregnant with her third child, may be on the outs with Taylor, 34, after appearing to endorse Trump in the upcoming US election.

The question remains if the besties will appear side-by-side to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs as they take on the Baltimore Ravens in the first game of the season tonight.

Taylor will likely want to make a show of support for her Tight End boyfriend after a seemingly fake contract was shared online dubbing their relationship a ‘showmance’.

But will billionaire popstar – who shies away from controversy – be distancing herself from Brittany, who was already controversial among NFL fans?

The stars fans have urged her to stay away – with one taking to X, formerly Twitter to write: ‘Taylor if you hug Brittany Mahomes on national TV tomorrow I cannot defend you anymore!’

Another said: ‘F*** Brittany Mahomes and I hope Taylor drops her out of the friend circle’.

A third wrote: ‘I don’t want Taylor to be associated with someone who supports trump how is that a problem?’.

One joked: ‘Tree Paine, time to get to work,’ referring to Taylor’s publicist.

Taylor and Brittany quickly formed a friendship last year – with the pair posing for snaps together, heading for dinners at A-list joints and wearing matching clothes.

A source even told Us Weekly the pair ‘have a really genuine friendship and ‘a similar sense of humour’ and ‘are always cracking jokes and laughing.’

‘Even if things didn’t work out between Taylor and Travis, Taylor feels like her friendship with Brittany would continue no matter what,’ they added.

But politics may stand in the way of the pair.  Taylor has previously endorsed Donald Trump‘s rivals, while accusing him of ‘stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism,’,  ‘feigning moral superiority’ and ‘threatening violence’.

But Brittany appears to be team Trump – with the former US President taking to Truth Social to thank the WAG for her support last night.

‘I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country,’ he said.

Brittany all-but-confirmed her support for Donald Trump by recently liking posts on Instagram supporting the Republican Party.

Truth Social

Taylor and Travis Kelce, both 34,have been dating since the summer of 2023

 

She later hit back at her critics, saying there’s no reason their brains are ‘fully developed’

The mother-of-two liked a reply from a follower which said: ‘TRUMP-VANCE 2024’.

She also liked another message of support after she incited fury for initially liking a post from Trump about the November election.

‘Glad to see you aren’t backing down,’ the comment that she liked said. ‘We are all entitled to our own opinions and shouldn’t be bullied into submission.’

She later re-posted a comment from preacher and author Shane Pruitt that appeared to be a response against backlash against her.

‘Contrary to the tone of the world today…’ the post begins. ‘You can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind.’

Taylor however has previously accused Trump of  ‘gaslighting the American public,’ and treating the US ‘like an autocracy’.

Endorsing Biden and Harris in 2020, she wrote: ‘The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included,’.

She also spoke out against the GOP in her 2019 documentary Miss Americana, while track Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince is a protest song about Trump.

The song features lines including: ‘American glory faded before me, now I’m feeling hopeless/ My team is losing, battered and bruising. I see the high fives between the bad guys’.

Biggest fan: She layered the edgy ensemble with a black, leather jacket that had the number 15 printed on the back as well as the hashtag, ‘#Mahomes,’ to show support for her husband

Later Swift sings: ‘I’m feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed. Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men? Darling, I’m scared,’.

Another song, Only the Young, which also features in the documentary, describes a figure – believed to be Trump – as ‘the big bad man and his big bad clan’.

Despite their apparent political differences,  sources recently revealed to DailyMail.com that Taylor and Brittany specifically implemented measures to protect their friendship even as fans predicted a huge fallout after her support of Trump became public.

‘Taylor is not going to be written into this anti-Brittany narrative because they have made a pact to not discuss politics,’ sources said, adding that the pair would ‘respect that they have different views.’

The source claimed ‘Brittany knew better than to discuss politics’ at a recent party Taylor threw for Blake Lively at her Rhode Island mansion as she didn’t want to ‘risk confrontation over opposing views.’

‘It was an unspoken rule for everyone to avoid politics at Taylor’s home in Rhode Island,’ they said. ‘The topic was off limits.

‘It is not only Taylor who has not spoken out in strong support for either candidate, but Travis as well. They know how much influence they have.’

According to the insider, Taylor’s Eras Tour opened her eyes to the fact that she has millions of fans who don’t all share the same views, and she has learned to respect that.

‘She loves her fans and has sold out stadiums in Republican states as well as Democrat, and has performed in countries where communism is rampant,’ they continued.

‘They are brought together by their love of her music. If, and when, Taylor is ready to endorse a candidate she will. Right now is not the time for her to do so.’

Another source added: ‘Taylor deals with so many people in her career and life that are so different that she leads with love, if you are a good person, most likely you’ll get her respect.

 

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes have implemented measures to save their friendship amid the Kansas City Chiefs WAG’s apparent support of Donald Trump

‘Her and Brittany talk about other things and never politics, so Taylor isn’t going to let this be a deal breaker for a friendship.’

The two couples spend time together over the weekend with Swift back in the United States after four months of touring in Europe.

In an interview in 2019 with The Guardian, Swift said she supported Hilary Clinton over Trump in the 2016 election and accused Trump of treating the presidency like ‘an autocracy‘.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick has never revealed which party he supports and told TIME magazine he does not plan to get involved in politics.

‘I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president,’ he said.

‘I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.’

The Chiefs have been invited to the White House by President Biden the past two years to commemorate their Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024.

Mahomes and his teammates had been invited to the White House by Trump following their Super Bowl LIV but did not attend due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite their political differences, Brittany has well cemented herself into Taylor’s girl gang and has been seen hanging out with  Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner and also Hugh Jackman.

A source told TMZ last year that Brittany ‘hit it off’ with the Karma singer during the post-game party after the Chiefs vs. Bears game in Kansas City.

Brittany Mahomes has opened up on how she has learned to handle abuse on social media

After the Chief beat the Bears, Brittany joined team members for a special dinner in celebration.

Last week, Brittany revealed how husband Patrick taught her to ignore social media trolls amid controversy over her public support of Donald Trump.

In an interview on the WHOOP podcast, Brittany has credited Patrick with helping her block out any criticism she receives online amid her growing fame.

‘He is very good at blocking people out so having him beside has helped,’ she said. ‘The main thing he always told me is to stop caring what people think – especially the people that don’t even know you.

‘I think social media used to get to me a lot. Now, it’s just like, honestly, I don’t give a f*** what people have to say about me anymore. And I think he has helped me get to that point.

‘I am strong in who I am. I am confident in who I am. I confident in mine and his relationship and I am confident in our lives. So why does what other people say have to matter at all?’

Brittany admits that she had to learn this from Patrick, who benefitted from being the son of a professional athlete in retired Minnesota Twins and New York Mets reliever Pat Mahomes Sr.

‘Chatted a ton”: The singer, 33, is said to have immediately broken the ice with Kelce’s teammate’s wife, 28 (Brittany and Patrick seen July 2023)

 

Family: The pair are even said to have downed a shot together and now have plans to meet up again the near future (Brittany seen with Patrick and their kids Bronze and Sterling)

‘He is a lot better at it than I am, maybe because his dad played professional sports,’ she said. ‘I think he was around it and he understood it a lot more than I did.

‘So having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he’s very good at managing those things.’

On Wednesday, Brittany liked comments on her latest Instagram post calling for Trump to win the election and supporting her for airing her views publicly.

Earlier this month, Taylor hinted that she will remain silent on subjects she believes might ‘provoke’ after her three shows in Vienna were abruptly cancelled due to a foiled terror attack.

‘Let me be very clear: I am not going to speak about something publicly if I think doing so might provoke those who would want to harm the fans who come to my shows,’ she wrote on Instagram.

‘In cases like this one, ”silence” is actually showing restraint, and waiting to express yourself at a time when it’s right to. My priority was finishing our European tour safely, and it is with great relief that I can say we did that.’

The 29-year-old’s romance with Mahomes dates all the way back to their high school days, before the Chiefs QB slowly emerged from the self-confessed ‘friend zone’ and took their relationship to the next level. Now, the couple are married with two children.

By the time they left high school, top football prospect Patrick was embarking on the start of his iconic career with college team Texas Tech. Brittany, meanwhile, headed 450 miles east to Texas-Tyler as an aspiring soccer player.

Despite not expecting to play collegiate soccer after leaving high school, Brittany soon did so for the Texas–Tyler Patriots, where she eventually became the first player to score three hattricks in both a season and a career in the program. She finished the campaign with four.

Her total of 78 points won (31 goals and 47 assists) and 111 shots on goal were each the second-most by a player in Texas-Tyler history, while her return of 40 points (18 goals and 22 assists) during her senior year in 2016 are program records.

Brittany graduated from Texas-Tyler with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, which would later play an integral part in one of her most successful business ventures.

After waving goodbye to college, Mahomes signed professional terms with Icelandic third-division club UMF Afturelding and moved to the Nordic Island in 2017. She scored two goals in five appearances during her only season with the team before being released upon the expiry of her contract.

She opened up on her decision to leave Afturelding and quit soccer four years later, admitting that her passion lies somewhere else.

Since bowing out from soccer she has launched her own online workout service after realizing her passion lies in fitness

Brittany’s vast social-media following, which has increased to nearly two million on Instagram, helps her to promote the workout service

‘I realized that you have to have a huge passion if you want to play soccer,’ she told Essentially Sports. ‘I found that my passion was in fitness and helping others.

‘Even through college and when I came back to America before I moved to Kansas City, I was that friend that all my friends, you know… “I would work out with Brittany because she could train me” – and so I decided to create an app home workout program.’

It was then when Mahomes turned to personal training, studying to become a Certified Fitness Trainer and eventually launching her own online workout service ‘Brittany Lynne Fitness’.

On the company’s website, she describes her fitness brand as focusing on ‘working hard, staying dedicated, not making excuses, and most of all, no BS’.

Brittany’s vast social-media following, which has increased to nearly two million on Instagram, helps her to promote the workout service while also carrying out a number of brand deals.

Brittany Mahomes’ public-image rollercoaster: From ‘annoying’ wife of Patrick, to Taylor Swift’s bestie, to Donald Trump-supporting controversy

By Oliver Salt

As the wife of a football superstar well on track to becoming the greatest quarterback of all time, Brittany Mahomes should really be in national-treasure territory by now. Or at least on the cusp of it.

Yet as Patrick eyes an unprecedented three-peat with the Kansas City Chiefs this season, a victory which would thrust him further into the GOAT conversation right alongside Tom Brady, his childhood sweetheart finds herself batting away the critics once again.

Brittany, who married Chiefs icon Patrick two years ago after first meeting in college, sparked political controversy last week when fans spotted she had liked one of Donald Trump‘s posts on Instagram mapping out his various policies.

Ahead of the Presidential election later this year, the like appeared to confirm which way she leans politically, leading to a fierce backlash from liberals and her best friend Taylor Swift‘s die-hard followers.

Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany has divided opinion once again over the past week

Of course, Brittany would not be alone in voting for Trump if that indeed is the case, nor would it make her a villain.

However, the outrage over her apparent political endorsement marks the latest divisive moment for a public figure who always seems to rub people up the wrong way.

In recent times Brittany has encountered several twists and turns on her public-image rollercoaster; going from the ‘annoying’ and ‘rude’ wife of an NFL icon, then to Swift’s new BFF and now to a controversial Republican backer within the space of a few years.

Since Patrick became a starter for Kansas City in 2018 his long-time partner has been accused, somewhat understandably, of being biased towards the Chiefs and blasting a number of referees publicly for big calls made against them.

In October 2021 Brittany received a backlash after posting on Twitter (now X) that ‘refs are never in our favor’ when the Chief were on the wrong end of a controversial decision in a defeat to the Buffalo Bills.

Amid the fury that came her way, she then added: ‘I said what I said. Y’all so mad.’

Brittany’s not only irked fans by voicing her opinion on refereeing decisions, nevertheless.

Brittany’s public image has been a rollercoaster ride in recent years, with her newfound friendship with Taylor Swift coming as a major boost

But she is no stranger to controversy and has often managed to rub fans up the wrong way

In another game against the Bills three months later, the Kansas City WAG was slammed after she was filmed opening a bottle of champagne in the stands at Highmark Stadium and spraying it on unsuspecting fans sitting below her in freezing temperatures to celebrate their divisional-round victory.

She reacted to the abuse that came her way by trying to flip the narrative and raise money for anti-bullying charities with ‘Team Brittany’ T-shirts, a move which failed to truly catch on and instead fueled further criticism.

With opinion on her well and truly divided, Brittany’s public image received a much-needed boost last year when she emerged as Swift’s new bestie amid the pop sensation’s romance with Patrick’s teammate Travis Kelce.

The pair have formed a close bond over the past year as Taylor’s relationship with Travis continues to go from strength to strength, watching several Chiefs games with her fellow WAG while also enjoying a host of trips away and nights out together.

Mahomes became the newest addition to Swift’s well-documented girl squad also featuring the likes of Blake Lively, Sophie Turner and Selena Gomez, with the group regularly seen out on the town at the end of last year.

As die-hard NFL fans expressed anger over Taylor’s influence on football last season, she also received huge praise from Swifties for sticking up for their beloved singer on several occasions, including when she shared a video of NBA legend Charles Barkley berating Swift’s haters and wrote on Instagram: ‘Let. Them. Know.’

Though just as she was riding the wave of her newfound friendship with the megastar, Brittany suddenly lost the backing of Swifties when a number of alleged ‘red flags’ began to rear their head.

The first came when she was accused of rudeness prior to the Chiefs’ AFC Championship win over the Baltimore Ravens in January, after a video surfaced online of her interaction with a member of staff at M&T Bank Stadium.

Brittany could be seen on camera asking the employee ‘where do we go from here?’ before spinning her finger in a circular motion.

Although there was no clear indication that she offended the Ravens staffer, the clip did not go down well with some viewers on TikTok.

‘Mahomes wife needs to get up off her high horse,’ wrote one user.

Another posted: ‘It’s the where do we go from here with the finger twirl for me.’

While one commented: ‘She is too much.. So extra’.

And to paint her friendship with Swift in a completely different light, DailyMail.com revealed in April that some insiders are questioning how genuine it is.

A source said that Brittany is only ‘acting like Taylor’s BFF’ because she ‘is desperate to be known’ and wants to be seen as more than ‘a trophy wife to an NFL star.’

The tables then turned again when Brittany was accused of being rude to a Baltimore Ravens employee in January of this year

DailyMail.com also revealed in April that insiders are questioning how genuine her friendship with Swift really is

‘She has tried so hard to insert herself into Swift’s circle. She has wanted to be relevant for so long and finally found her in,’ said another source.

‘She has too many red flags and people are starting to see through her fake and b****y persona,’ that source said. ‘She is an opportunist who is clearly not a girl’s girl.’

As the new NFL season approaches, Mahomes now finds herself wrapped up in controversy and battling the naysayers once more after her like on Trump’s post was unearthed.

Some predicted her right-wing stance would bring her friendship with Swift – whether it is authentic or just for show – crashing down given the singer is a renowned liberal who has expressed her disdain for Trump in the past.

But just over a week out from Kansas City’s opener against Baltimore, Brittany and Taylor were spotted on vacation in Rhode Island together to quell fears of any potential rift between them.

It remains to be seen how their relationship stands up to the election in November, however, as Trump’s battle with Kamala Harris for the White House intensifies.

Brittany Mahomes has a message for the haters!

Even if she distances herself from any political chatter, Brittany is bound to make headlines for either the right or wrong reasons over the course of this NFL season.

Though at this stage of her life the 28-year-old simply isn’t fazed. She said about husband Patrick this week amid the controversy over her like on Trump’s post: ‘He is very good at blocking people out so having him beside has helped.

‘The main thing he always told me is to stop caring what people think – especially the people that don’t even know you.

‘I think social media used to get to me a lot. Now, it’s just like, honestly, I don’t give a f*** what people have to say about me anymore. And I think he has helped me get to that point.’

The presidential debate between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is finally upon us, and the ladies of The View are offering their predictions on how things are going to go during tonight’s broadcast.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked for the Trump administration until she resigned in 2020, told the panel that Harris has “more to lose but also more to gain.”

“The person who will emerge the victor in this debate is the person who leaves Americans thinking, ‘I understand your hardships and I have a plan to solve them,’” she said, noting that Harris should approach the debate like a job interview by focusing on why she is right for the position as opposed to why Trump isn’t right for the position.

As for how her former boss will do, Griffin expects him to fall off the wagon by the end of the broadcast.

“Donald Trump, I tend to think melts down after about 15 minutes. He can start strong but he tends to diminish,” she said. “It’s a 90-minute debate so there’s a chance that he starts strong. I’d pay attention to how he is in the back half of it. That’s when he starts getting into handicaps and golf and all that.”

Meanwhile, Sunny Hostin said Harris has a “really tough job ahead of her” as she’ll be facing off against a “menace” who “doesn’t normally behave.” According to Hostin, the Democratic nominee will have to remain calm, cool and collected instead of going into “attack mode” so that she doesn’t fall into the trope of the “angry Black woman.”

Whoopi Goldberg, for her part, is confident that Harris is looking at Trump as nothing more than a “distraction.”

“What I want from her is to not deal with him. Because I don’t believe 28% of the folks don’t know who she is. She’s been around for four years,” she said. “I understand you may not know what her particular policies are and that’s what this is about. That’s why she is doing this. He is a distraction and she knows it. We know it.”

I saw Justin Timberlake live and it was erotic
I’ve been waiting for over 20 years to see Justin Timberlake in concert. But when it came time to buy tickets for his last date in Europe on a resale site, I was really afraid that he wouldn’t be what he was in the 2000s. I’ll tell you about this roller coaster.
“Oh nooo, Justin, why did you do that?”, I said to myself, my heart in my socks, last June. On the 18th, precisely, when the American tabloids told me that the idol of my adolescence had been arrested “under the influence” while driving. “NOT FAIR WHEN I BUY TICKETS!!” When he was arrested, he himself is said to have said:

“This will compromise the tour…”
Justin Timberlake
Timberlake’s fall, minute by minute
Finally, his European tour will take place. Phew. I’m counting down the days until his concert in Lyon on September 7, the last date on the Old Continent.

With some apprehensions, however. His latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, released at the beginning of the year, is neither bad nor good. The previous one, Man of the Woods? Not great. In fact, since 2013 and The 20/20 Experience, with hits like Mirrors, the American has left us wanting more… Hence my doubts: haven’t I waited too long to see Justin Timberlake on stage?

“I’m 57, and you?”

After a trip from Geneva on a disgusting TER, my friend Pauline and I arrive in Lyon. We meet a lot of other Swiss fans, the tour not stopping on Swiss soil.

We are in the pit, the first part is supposed to start at 7:30 p.m. and we hope we won’t be too badly placed. As we walk at a run, a woman from Marseille approaches us.

“I’m 57, I have a seat, and you? I’m too old to stand for hours!”
A fan from Marseille
In the crowd, we can see that several generations are mixing. There are a few teenagers, but mostly thirty-somethings, forty-somethings, fifty-somethings. In fact, the teenagers are there… with their parents. A little bit old. It’s true that when you think about it, I was barely 11 when his first solo album, Justified, came out, and I didn’t really know his boy band period with NSYNC.

“HE’S GOING TO PASS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!”
In the pit, we position ourselves near an aisle. “He’s going to pass here,” a spectator assures us. Perfect, we’ll be 20 centimeters away. But first, a DJ provides the opening act. He plays almost exclusively hits from the 2000s. It’s fantastic and it sets the tone: we’re all here to relive our youth. The crowd is stamping its feet and dancing…

.. And getting tired. An hour of mixing is nice, but WE WANT JUSTIN! Ahhh, that’s it, the DJ says goodbye, the lights go out. The tension is palpable, the wait is endless.

Justin Timberlake makes a fool of himself then apologizes with humor
The giant screen, even bigger than the stage, lights up. In a desert setting at sunset, reminiscent of the aesthetic of his last album, Justin finally appears, in a black suit over a white t-shirt. Simple, terribly effective. He starts the show with No Angels, from the last album. Apart from the fans who paid a fortune to be in front, the audience doesn’t know the words. Damn, we’re here for your iconic hits! Phew, he follows up with LoveStoned/I Think She Knows, then… Like I Love You. I’m 12 and a half, I’m melting. It’s wonderful.

Twilight and desert atmosphere.
Image: margaux habert
In a sort of desert with this time post-apocalyptic accents, the star comes to pick us up with My Love. And it’s clear that yes, ladies and gentlemen, Justin Timberlake is still in the game. The choreography is similar to that of the video released in 2006, and his hip swaying still gives us hot flashes. A video that I had recorded from MTV on a video cassette to learn the steps; bam, he’s old again.

A hot audience, an erotic atmosphere
Even if we don’t all know the next song, Infinity Sex, the atmosphere is crazy: part of the screen, a kind of big block, has come off and sublimates the performance. It’s frankly spectacular, I’ve never seen anything like it in concert. The details of the videos broadcast on the screen and this independent block are crazy. Oh wow. It goes to FutureSex/LoveSound, one of my favorite songs.

This one. Listen to it. 10 times. Thank you.
The atmosphere has become downright erotic. His way of dancing with the microphone stand, the images of bodies entwined in more than suggestive positions on the block just above him… It’s suddenly hot, right? Besides, spectators are really fainting and being evacuated. If I fall, leave me on the ground, thank you very much.

The songs follow one another, notably with Drown, “to drown” in French. The block, behind the star, broadcasts a video of him, as if imprisoned in this box, while the water rises. It is extremely well done, the image supports the message. It is sublime, spectacular. The staging of this concert, after the immersion in the desert, is crazy.

It is really very beautiful, it tells a story.
Image: margaux habert
Moreover, the transition is perfect: from Justin locked in an aquarium filled with water, here is… Cry Me A River. The scene is as if caught in the middle of a storm. First the rain, the thunder, then powerful waves. The block, held by cables, leans dangerously over the artist, the raging waters become a molten magma. It is magnificent, have I said it already or not?

He could not sing and let us continue the concert in his place. Here they are, the hits of the 2000s! We can recognize the first notes of Señorita. In the part of the song where he usually tells men what to repeat, then the same thing for women, he replaces the words with…

“I don’t even have to explain, do I?”
Justin Timberlake
Indeed, we all know very well what our job is. Same on Summer Love. In our corner of the audience, there is singing, there is dancing. But not as much as Justin, who shows us once again that at 43, his hip swaying still provokes childish giggles.

“He’s thereeeeeee! JUSTIIIIN!”
On the next song, the security guards in front of us are getting excited, making sure that this aisle, marked out only by tape on the ground, in the middle of the audience, is clear, that nothing is lying around. The agents deploy a simple rope to keep the fans in their place, without a barrier.

“Look, he’s there! JUSTIIIN! I LOVE YOUUUU!”
All of us

Animated GIF
Oh hello, you.
margaux habert
He actually passes… a few centimeters from us. Causes mass hysteria. And then kindly continues his concert on a smaller stage, at the back of the audience, with Suit and Tie. He stays there for several songs, including Say Something, Until The End Of Time and What Goes Around Comes Around, which he sings and plays on the guitar (this man can definitely do everything). And to think that we were afraid that the golden boy had become some kind of cheesy old man… Besides, he takes the opportunity to tell us how lucky he is to be there.

“It’s the last date in Europe… The best for last!”
Justin Timberlake
Visibly moved, Justin wipes away a tear and tells us that he recognizes some faces. “It’s been 20 years, 25 years, we grew up together…”, he smiles. It’s really, really true. My youth is literally singing and dancing a few meters away from me. (I repeat, if I faint, leave me on the floor, thank you.) “I’ve been dreaming of this since I was a kid,” he assures us. Same here, Justin.

A grand finale
While we’re also on the verge of tears, Justin has the good idea to resume the show. Phew, it was starting to become emotionally difficult to bear. With Can’t Stop The Feeling, he revives a joyful atmosphere. Which goes up another notch with Rock Your Body, one of his biggest – and oldest – hits. In the video, released in 2003, he sports a hideous goatee and big diamonds in his ears. There is still some good in getting older – or growing up, as he says.

Here is the cocktail that finished Justin Timberlake
Here is a song that hasn’t aged a day: SexyBack. The LDLC Arena is going to explode. Once again, the use of block is crazy: in shades of red, Justin’s face floats almost menacingly above the stage.

Let’s shiver!
Let’s shiver!

The production is masterful, we really have the impression that he is in relief, in 3D. “He’s going to finish with Mirrors,” I say (or rather I shout) in Pauline’s ear. With a pang in my heart, these are precisely the first notes of this song that ring out. Well, it’s been almost two hours since the concert started, it’s true. Time has

sse much faster here than in the decrepit Soviet TER.

Held by cables, the artist sings on the block, which moves above the crowd. Everything is beautiful, everything is perfect. To the point that emotion takes over and finally brings a tear to my eye. And to think that we were afraid that Justin would no longer be in the game… On the contrary. The show, American style, is timed, calibrated, spectacular, aesthetic, without sacrificing the emotions he shares with the audience. On the last notes of Mirrors, the block carries Justin away, who greets us with a heart and hands behind the stage. Sigh. How good it was.

“Will we go back, when he comes back to Europe?”
Pauline
Of course. And this time, we won’t wait 20 years. “Or else, we’re going to Montreal on October 4th, for my birthday!”, I answer my friend. It is with this perfectly unrealistic idea, but strong enough to face the torrents of water that are falling on Lyon, that we leave. Bye Bye Bye, Justin!

Timberlake’s downfall, minute by minute
Why Britney Spears can show off and why the Internet is making fun of him? For those who haven’t been following (and also for a bit of a laugh), here are the last and turbulent 24 hours of Justin Timberlake’s life. Since his arrest in the Hamptons for driving under the influence and thanks to the power of social networks.

At 3:03 p.m. (Swiss time), TMZ and others burst onto our smartphones with news that no one really expected (and not only because no one expects much from him anymore): Justin Timberlake was arrested in the Hamptons, at the wheel of his car. According to the formula accepted in the United States, the pop-boy was “under the influence”.

«Cheh!», comme disent les jeunes?

Justin Timberlake arrested: here is his “mugshot”
After spending a good night in the shade, Justin woke up with a hangover, a mugshot that had already gone around the world and Internet users who jump at the slightest opportunity to laugh about it. And, unsurprisingly, the first to have drawn the joke gun were the groupies of his ex, Britney Spears, who had badly scratched him in her memoirs.
