Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance in New Video is Turning Heads
Taylor Swift's Physical Appearance in New Video is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Taylor Swift was out and about in New York City on Friday night. A new video of the "Fortnight" singer is currently making its rounds all over social media, and it has gotten all sorts of reactions from the fans. In the video, Swift is seen walking into a restaurant in NYC. Based on the geo-tagged location in the two-second clip, Swift appears to have entered the highly rated Italian restaurant Via Carota, which is located in the heart of Manhattan's West Village. Swift is seen wearing a strappy black floral dress that features a fitted bodice and a flowy skirt. The dress has a V-neckline and appears to be made of a lightweight material such as satin or silk. Despite Swift's brief appearance in the video, fans on social media still had a lot to say about her stylish look for the night out. "Gorgeous as always," a comment on X read. "OMMGGGGG!!! I need to see her dress, it looks so prettyyyyy," said another. "GORGEOUS," a user wrote. "SHE LOOKSS GOOODDD," declared a fan. "She looks gorgeous with her hair tied like that 😍" commented another. "She looks so pretty," a reaction read. It is worth noting that Swift was alone as she entered the restaurant. Missing by her side was her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who has been a consistent presence alongside the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter over the past couple of months. Kelce is currently with the Chiefs during the squad's three-day OTAs or Organized Team Activities. The Chiefs have a number of voluntary workouts coming up before their mandatory minicamp starts in mid-June, which only means that Kelce's schedule is going to start tightening up again soon. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Taylor Swift Fans Left Saddened on Sunday
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has been breaking more and more into the spotlight of late after being low-key and staying under the radar over the past couple of months. The same cannot be said for Taylor Swift, though, as Kelce's girlfriend continues to stay away from the public eye. As a matter of fact, it has now been well over a month since the couple was photographed in public together during a New York City date night. Speaking of The Big Apple, one of the biggest events in the city is coming up on Monday, which is why there has been some speculation about Swift potentially making her next major public appearance. The Met Gala, deemed as fashion's biggest night, will take place on Monday at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Central Park. Swift has attended this same event several times in the past, and some believe that she could make a comeback this year. Swifties on social media, however, are not holding their breath. In fact, more than a few of them were left saddened by the notion that the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer will not take part in the Met Gala on Monday. "no 😭," a response on X read. "no, sadly😭," another said. "if her team is ready for a new marketing campaign she probably will go get people talking, otherwise we probs ain't getting rep tv for awhile 😭," posted a fan. "No tbh 😭 I don't think she will ever go anymore," predicted a Swiftie. Another added, "I think there is a better chance she will go to the AMA's. And even that I'm doubtful.." "No :(," wrote a user. There is still always a chance that Swift -- and perhaps even Kelce -- will attend the Met Gala on Monday. However, as pointed out above, if it happens, it would be the first time the "Fortnight" singer joins the festivities in nearly a decade after last gracing the famed stairs in 2016. The Swifties, though, have already spoken, and while there is still a bit of cautious optimism among some of them, the general belief is that it's going to be another no-show for her.

Beyoncé's Dad Is Firing Back At Kanye West After Making Those Suuuper Disgusting Comments About Her 7-Year-Old Twins
Another member of the Knowles family is reportedly speaking out against Kanye "Ye" West 's extremely insensitive comments about Beyoncé and Jay-Z 's children. On March 18, in the middle of another rant on X (rightfully known as Twitter), Ye posted back-to-back tweets speaking negatively about Jay and Bey. But the tweets hit an all-time low when Kanye made disgusting comments about the Carters' 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir. It read, "WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS," before using very offensive language to question their mental state. He later deleted the tweet, after revealing he only did so because there was a " possibility" that his X account would get canceled. His comments caused a lot of backlash. But before wiping his entire account clean of all tweets, Kanye doubled down on his opinions of the multi-Grammy Award-winning couple. Kanye West / Twitter Tension between Kanye and Jay allegedly escalated in 2016 when the Chicago rapper publicly criticized Jay for allegedly not reaching out to him or his family after his ex-wife Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. The remarks made it back to Beyoncé and her family and things did not go over well. Bey's dad and former manager, Mathew Knowles, reportedly spoke openly about Kanye's fate. "People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry," Mathew reportedly said. "I'm hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health." His alleged statement comes two days after her mother, Tina Knowles, reportedly spoke out against Kanye, in the form of a corny joke for her running Instagram series. "So I'm on the set of a photoshoot today for my book," Tina said in her Instagram video. "And I wanted to tell you a corny joke. What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown. Y'all know that's funny." "It's hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil," she reportedly wrote in the now-edited caption. "But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper. This battle is not mine, but the Lord's, I know that God has got this."

John Legend defends decision to perform amid war
The 46-year-old multi-Grammy Award-winning star sparked a backlash after taking to the stage in Rwanda this month, which has been involved in a war with the Democratic Republic of Congo since 2022. But the All Of Me singer thinks it is unfair to punish music fans for the actions of their leaders, and has defended his decision to perform in the African country. He said after performing in Kigali, per the BBC, "I don't believe that we should punish the people of Rwanda and punish the people of other countries when we disagree with their leaders."
