Taylor Swift
is choosing grace over gossip. After receiving some passive-aggressive comments from Matty Healy's mother, British actress Denise Welch, the pop icon is reportedly keeping her cool and focusing on her personal happiness—with NFL star
Travis Kelce
firmly by her side.
Taylor Swift's response shows growth—and her fans are applauding her restraint
In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Welch didn't hold back when asked about her son's brief romance with Swift. While trying to maintain a neutral tone, the Loose Women star made a pointed remark: 'Not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost. Not that I have anything against her, at all, it was just, you know, it was tricky.'

Rather than clapping back with a dramatic lyric or viral social media post, Swift has decided to take the high road.
According to a source close to the singer, she's choosing not to engage publicly with Welch's remarks and is instead staying focused on the present. 'She intends to ignore the jibes and focus on Travis Kelce,' the source said.
The subtle shade from Welch comes months after Swift and Healy's brief and much-criticized fling in 2023. Though the relationship ended swiftly, fans have long speculated that parts of that time may surface in a future album.

Travis Kelce continues to be Taylor Swift's emotional anchor through it all
As Swift enjoys some rare downtime from her blockbuster Eras Tour, she's reportedly been spending more time with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The two have become one of pop culture's most talked-about couples, and Swift seems to be drawing strength from the stability and support Kelce brings into her life.
While Denise Welch may have hoped to stir the pot, Swift's silence is speaking volumes.
By leaning into love and maturity—and leaning on Kelce—Taylor Swift is showing the world exactly how to rise above the noise.

Manish Malhotra broke from the fashion week script, and it worked
The anticipation was high, the rumours were rife and even as the curtains were being pulled down to the city's one-of-a-kind couture party, nobody really knew what they could expect from Manish Malhotra's this year's edition of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025. Was it the couture party of dreams (as was being predicted)? Well, that needs some course, it wasn't the conventional showcase as is the ritual for most designers, as Malhotra eschewed the traditional runway format and hosted an exclusive couture party at the Taj Palace in New Delhi on July 26. It was a sophisticated, cocktail-themed event that merged fashion, nostalgia, and spectacle in equal measure.A party, not a presentationadvertisementLet's call it a party to remember because that's what it was, but not without its share of work (and not just play). It was a curated experience with guests handpicked from Bollywood, fashion, and media circles. It moved through an immersive evening where cocktails, live music, and haute cuisine set the tone. The atmosphere blurred the line between couture and celebration, inviting attendees to engage with the garments as part of a cultural event rather than a standard showcase. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cosmopolitan India (@cosmoindia)Bollywood archive, reimaginedThe evening opened with a striking visual tribute to Manish Malhotra's legacy in Bollywood fashion, showcasing some of his most iconic display were Kajol's green lehenga from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kareena Kapoor Khan's peach sharara from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Priyanka Chopra's sequined saree from Dostana, Rekha's custom ensemble for Vogue, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Banarasi saree from Cannes was a rare moment of self-archiving in Indian couture, a nod to Malhotra's enduring influence across decades of film and 2025: Glamour in motionMalhotra's latest collection was unveiled in dramatic fashion: white curtains dropped to reveal a lineup of models in intricately embellished sarees, sculpted gowns, and signature statement men's looks featured velvet sherwanis, bandhgalas, and structured jackets, rendered in burgundy, black, and muted peach, with detailed embroidery, metallic accents, and zari work that balanced old-world richness with modern tailoring. Some timeless jewellery from the designer coffer was up for show as well which included the 18K gold earrings worn by Rekha, and a bold choker set styled on Ambrosio walked as the showstopperWhile anticipation around Manish Malhotra's one-of-a-kind couture party was gripping not just the capital but the whole of the fashion industry, one element from the show which led many into guessing was who could be the showstopper, and many international names started popping up. Not sure how many got it right, but international supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio closed the show for Manish Malhotra. International supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio closed the show for Manish Malhotra. (Photo: Instagram) She was on the runway twice showcasing a silver saree with a plunging blouse, mermaid-style skirt, and draped dupatta first. This was followed by a pearl-embellished lehenga styled with a silver blouse and ruby-diamond choker and maang tika. Couture party, a first?While Manish Malhotra's 'couture party' at India Couture Week 2025 is being hailed as a first-of-its-kind event in India, the concept of merging high fashion with an immersive, party-style format is not entirely new, especially on the international global fashion capitals like Paris and Milan, exclusive cocktail presentations, gala nights, and luxury fashion soirees have long blurred the line between runway and social event. Events such as Couture Fashion Night in Switzerland and other international couture galas have previously adopted similar elements: curated guest lists, live music, fine dining, and fashion showcased outside the traditional runway what makes Malhotra's approach distinctive is that he brought this format to India's official couture calendar.- EndsMust Watch
