The Truth About The Taylor Swift Wedding

Because the A-listers who attended from the world of movies, TV, music, sports, fashion and the arts were dying to tell us about it — or at least strongly imply it. The union of Swift and Kelce, two of the biggest celebrities in the world, managed to completely dominate the internet despite the fact that guests reportedly had to check their phones at the door and sign NDAs. Perhaps the biggest trend of the weekend was a superstar guest posting themselves on Instagram or TikTok in an ultra-glam, black-tie fit paired with an enigmatic caption. If you know, you know.

Is It Okay To Hate On Halsey or Supergirl?

The biggest risk would have been doing Iron Man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.” As such, the revived DC Studios under Guardians of the Galaxy franchise filmmaker James Gunn and Conjuring franchise producer Peter Safran has plans to do exactly that: Not to gavage moviegoers on a diet of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but rather build secondary DC characters into diamond properties. A 2024 Anthony Fantano video, improbably enough, is back in the conversation this week. By now, your endless scroll has alerted you to the resurfacing of the music critic and The Needle Drop personality's review of Halsey's most recent studio album as of this writing, 2024's The Great Impersonator. While Fantano handed the album "a light to decent 1," it was otherwise met with largely favorable reviews. Seemingly, though for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the review in question has received renewed attention amid coverage of Fantano's recent interview with Olivia Rodrigo, whose excellent new album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love is currently atop the Billboard 200 chart.

On Tuesday (June 23), X posts began circulating alleging the 59-year-old fan was “jumped” while awaiting the departure of Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie from his hotel during Paris Fashion Week. The controversial figure was criticized for her seemingly parasocial and obsessive relationship with the young actor, frequently seeing his movies multiple times in theaters, attending premieres and sightings, and maintaining popular social media accounts dedicated to Chalamet, which occasionally included a vocal disdain for his relationship with Kylie Jenner. Cromer would go on to distance herself from the actor after his failed awards campaign for Marty Supreme, for which he left empty-handed from all the major ceremonies. In an Instagram post announcing the shocking move, she wrote, “Things have changed in this fandom in such a significant way that we also have to adjust to the changes and focus on other interests that simply bring us joy.” Learn more about your ad choices.

L.A., thank you so much. Are you kidding? What the hell? I’ve never in my life experienced a crowd like this,” Grande said as she got emotional and wiped away tears with a gloved hand while wearing custom Vivienne Westwood, Christian Louboutin boots and Swarovski jewelry. “This is so overwhelming in the most beautiful way ever. Thank you so much for being so loving. Holy moly. I said holy moly, but I meant it, you know.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

That’s among the takeaways from the Season 3 finale of “Euphoria,” an episode that brought its primary characters to some version or another of closure. Rue (Zendaya) dies before the episode’s midpoint, after which Ali (Colman Domingo) must avenge her. Meanwhile, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) seems set up for her future as an OnlyFans mogul, but still has ways to go in terms of healing the wounds left by her brief, turbulent marriage to the late Nate (Jacob Elordi). And there’s a sweet tribute to Fezco (played in the first two seasons by Angus Cloud), in some ways the soul of “Euphoria.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lizzo is putting a certain rumor to rest. On Saturday, May 23, the rapper and singer (whose real name is Melissa Jefferson) responded to a fan comment accusing her of "talking s---" about Taylor Swift. "The Life Of A Showgirl + MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING — 4.005M," a user wrote on X the day prior, referring to Swift's latest album and Lizzo's 2025 mixtape, respectively. "ICEMAN + MAID OF HONOUR + HABIBTI — 683k." The post also featured a clip from her "STFU" music video. Lizzo, 38, reshared the post, asking users to clarify what the X user wrote: "Can someone explain what this means?" One user replied, saying, "It means all that s--- talking you did about Tay finally caught up to you." That's when Lizzo stepped in to defend herself. Learn more about your ad choices.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or so they say. In that case, Meghan Trainor’s Toy With Me is the biggest compliment anyone could ever pay Sabrina Carpenter. Between the sexy pastel babydoll aesthetic, glitzy production, cheeky hooks, (attempts at) winking innuendo, and even the stupid banged wig in every visualizer, there’s very little on the “All About That Bass” singer’s latest album that does not have the Short n’ Sweet star in its DNA. What doesn’t scream Sabrina, though, screams someone else: “Chef’s Kiss” echoes Taylor Swift’s “Karma”; “Rich Man” feels a little too close to aespa’s hit of the same name from last year. None of this compares to the closing track, “Shimmer,” which is so close to Tate McRae’s “Just Keep Watching” that a future lawsuit wouldn’t be surprising. The bridge is nearly identical to McRae’s chorus, down to lines like “Just do it like this, break your back”—shockingly similar to McCrae’s “Goes like this, start with the track / Eyes on me, archin’ my back.” You have to wonder what the hell Trainor’s team was thinking.
