Why Taylor Swift Didn't Join Travis Kelce at Cannes Lions
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been enjoying traveling together during their time out of the spotlight, but this week, it seems they're flying solo. It doesn't appear the singer joined Kelce in Cannes, France, where the Kansas City Chiefs tight end spoke with his brother, Jason, during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity yesterday. Swift wasn't spotted in the crowd watching the Kelce brothers talk about their podcast, New Heights, on the Amazon Port panel stage, and no photos have come out of her in France this week either.
Kelce spoke at Cannes Lions last year, and Swift didn't attend then, even though she was in between U.K. Eras Tour shows. At the time, Caroline McCarthy, a marketing executive and former journalist, wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter) that, despite rumors, 'most people involved in Cannes planning have known for weeks that Taylor Swift wouldn't be coming to #CannesLions2024. Travis was told explicitly not to bring her because the security needs would overwhelm the city.'
The same security concerns exist this year, providing one potential reason for her absence. Additionally, a source told Us Weekly on June 4 that Swift and Kelce were trying to keep their relationship more private. 'They are making fewer public appearances together because [their relationship] brings too much unwanted attention, but there isn't trouble in paradise,' the insider explained.
Kelce and Swift have been seen out this month, however. The couple attended the fourth game of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Florida, on June 12.
One day later, Swift visited Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida, and told a patient she met there, 'My boyfriend is training here, so I just thought I'd come and see how you're doing.'
Her remarks confirm People's report from the end of May that Swift was staying in Florida 'to support and spend time' with Kelce during his NFL offseason. Kelce will report to training camp in Kansas City, Missouri, later this summer, kicking off his preseason.

Cowboys coordinator Matt Eberflus does this one thing extremely well
Matt Eberflus has earned the moniker of 'Linebacker whisperer' in his time as a position guru, defensive coordinator, and head coach in the NFL. Regardless of whether the player was drafted and developed by Eberflus, a veteran with success elsewhere, or a player he had to take to the next level, linebackers elevate while under his stewardship. As a linebacker coach and defensive coordinator, he helped develop Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, Anthony Hitchens, Damien Wilson, Jaylon Smith, Bobby Okereke, and Shaquille Leonard. Lee was drafted the season before Eberflus became the linebacker coach at Dallas and developed into an all-time great when healthy. In their first season together, Lee had 104 tackles, 10 for a loss, four interceptions, and seven pass breakups. He was fifth in the 2016 voting for Defensive Player of the Year and had his only first-team All-Pro season. Carter was a starter under Eberflus for three seasons. He had a season with 96 tackles, two sacks, three pass breakups, and five tackles for a loss. He had five interceptions and eight pass breakups in another season with Eberflus. Without Eberflus, he never started more than three games or recorded 50 tackles. Anthony Hitchens and Damien Wilson were fourth-round picks who Eberflus developed into starters all four years of their rookie contracts, and they each went on to start and win a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs. Jaylon Smith had two seasons with Eberflus, coming off a career-threatening injury. He was fifth in Comeback Player of the Year voting in 2017 and later developed into a Pro Bowler. As a defensive coordinator for the Colts, Eberflus oversaw the drafting and development of both Leonard and Okereke. Okereke became a linebacker who averaged over 120 tackles a season and has been in the top 10 in solo tackles three times in six seasons. Leonard developed into a star. He started 58 games and averaged 134.5 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, nearly three interceptions, 7.5 pass breakups, over four forced fumbles, and almost four sacks. He was a three-time All-Pro and won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Dallas is very young at linebacker, with Marist Liufau, DeMarvion Overshown, and Shemar James having a season or less of experience on the field. Veterans Kenneth Murray, Jack Sanborn, and Damone Clark will also improve under his tutelage. There have also been journeyman linebackers who saw significant upticks while playing for Eberflus. David Bowens had one season as a full-time starter in 10 years. He was a defensive end who transitioned to linebacker when Eberflus took over as the position coach in Cleveland. Bowens went from a high of 43 tackles to 71 and had a career-high 12 QB hits in 15 starts. In the same 2009 season, Matt Roth played four games without a start for the Miami Dolphins before being released. He was claimed off waivers by the Browns, where he started the final six games with Eberflus as linebackers coach. The following year, he started all 16 games, and in that 22-game span, he accumulated 114 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 12 tackles for a loss. Anthony Spencer became a significant impact player and a Pro-Bowler in his second year working with Eberflus. He nearly doubled his highest sack total with 11 and had his highest tackles for a loss, too. His personal-best in tackles went from 67 to 95, and he did it in only 14 starts. Rolando McClain won Comeback Player of the Year in 2014 with Eberflus after missing seven games in 2012 and the entire 2013 season. All in all, Eberflus' influence should rear it's head pretty quickly with his new troops in Dallas.

Diary from Cannes: AI's impact on business, a stalled economy, and Disney's succession
As a journalist, you never quite know what you'll learn at a conference where top executives are floating around. Someone like me — the interested observer — is always paying attention to varying things on the ground: the watches execs are wearing (they say a lot), who's wearing health trackers (also says a lot), who's huddled in a corner talking shop, and what their body language is. And of course, what people are actually telling me. To that end, I return from a week at the Cannes Lions advertising and media industry conference. The best way I can describe this event is it's as if the World Economic Forum bought LiveNation and created a rebellious sister conference. By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy This year, I saw and heard a bit of everything, including from NFL great Chad Johnson, who shared he lived in the Cincinnati Bengals' training facility for the first two years of his career to save money. I didn't expect to hear that. I also didn't expect to hear this from DJ Diplo: "I have sold my music catalog a few times. You can always sell and build more. I did a 75% sale like five years ago, and I already built another catalog that I want to maybe move again, because sometimes I'd rather have capital to invest in other things." Where is he putting that fresh capital to work? He said medical devices, fintech companies, and real estate. Suffice to say, this coming week I plan to weave more observations into my new show at Yahoo Finance called Opening Bid. I will debut the show live Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET in a fast-paced format. Excited to bring you the fire (i.e., stock analysis and big interviews). You can watch here or on our app, all major streaming platforms, and DirecTV. Have something you want me to discuss on Monday? Drop me a line today on X @BrianSozzi. In the meantime, here's a roundup of things that stood out to me from my chats on the beach. "Nothing is ever really off the table, and really, the mindset of what's possible is always encouraged." "What I would say there is what's important to us is that we are able to protect our users' privacy, their deletion rights, like we have policies that ensure that when users take down a post, the post is taken down. And so it's really important, and as we've said in our terms of service, that we have a conversation with folks who have access to our data because that's a commitment that we have in terms of our policies, and it's also to know how Reddit data is used." "If I were going to advise the new CEO of Disney, I would say stay close to Bob Iger for the first six months. Really take that apprenticeship to heart because Bob is an amazing CEO — very few like him. If you can just be at his side and look at the whole company ... but get close to Bob, sit by his side, and just learn how he does things." "Look, I'm a consummate optimist, and no matter how difficult it is out there, there are holidays that come. People want to be celebrating with their families. Santa comes every year." "I think it's harder than most people realize. And the interesting thing is, for the past five to 10 years, we have been putting them together — linear TV content creates the streaming content. Now all of that has changed." "I think people are being very intentional where they spend money. It's cyclical, right? So it happens, you know, things get better, and that comes back. What we have seen is that it happens every single time the same way." Brian Sozzi is Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor and a member of Yahoo Finance's editorial leadership team.
