Taylor Swift Had a Subtle Yet Spot-On Response to Ex Matty Healy's 'Tortured Poets' Dig
THE RUNDOWN
Taylor Swift's ex Matty Healy appeared to take a jab at the singer and her album The Tortured Poets Department during his band The 1975's Glastonbury set on Friday. Swift let her actions—and a few well-timed paparazzi shots—do the talking the next day, stepping out in New York City with her boyfriend of nearly two years, Travis Kelce.
The couple was photographed holding hands as they arrived to dinner, embodying the famous quote, 'Living well is the best revenge.' Their outing was widely covered by outlets, shifting attention away from coverage of Healy's Glastonbury speech.
At the British music festival, Healy called himself 'probably the best songwriter of my generation. The best, what do we say, a poet, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am,' he added with sarcasm. 'Generational wordsmith. I just wanted to remind you, you know, in the next couple of minutes, these lyrics, this poetry, I bleed for you. Alright? Just take that in, alright? Take it away, boys.'
Healy's use of the word 'poet' was hardly subtle, as Swift's Tortured Poets album is believed to contain several songs about Healy, including 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' and the album's titular track. One fan in the crowd even mentioned the name of Swift's album when Healy called himself a poet, as seen in Variety's viral clip.
Swift, however, hasn't spoken about Healy outside of her music since their breakup. She started dating Kelce weeks later, and the couple is now very serious. During their Saturday date, they even matched in white ensembles, with Swift wearing a houndstooth Balmain dress.
In December, a source told Us Weekly that Swift believes Kelce is her person. 'Taylor does feel like Travis is The One, but jumping in[to marriage] is not her style,' the source said. 'That's just not how she does [things]. Marriage is a big deal, and she wants [it to be] forever.'
On June 12, a source told People that Swift is thrilled to have a lighter travel schedule, giving her more time to support Kelce during his upcoming NFL season. 'Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible,' the source said. 'They've both had such demanding schedules for so long, so having this stretch of time where things aren't quite as chaotic feels like a welcome change. It's a chance for them to settle into more of a routine and they're both really happy about that.'

Nothing Is What It Seems in Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's "Ordinary People" Spring 2026 Collection
Summary Mastered byMaison Mihara Yasuhirois the skill of splicing – literally piecing together garments, eras, and silhouettes that might otherwise never comingle. The designer's Spring 2026 Paris runway was no exception, taking the art of fashioning the familiar and the fanciful, the past and the present, the 'high fashion' with the low, envisioning a Frankenstein'd, far-from-ordinary assortment of future-facing apparel and accessories. Entitled 'Ordinary People,' the designer's Spring 2026 range speaks to today's news cycle, particularly a commentary on that in Japan. 'In Japan, it doesn't take much to make the news,' he said after the show, perVogue Runway. 'Things like extramarital affairs and smoking scandals can become national stories, but in the world, there are wars, famines, and so much misery.' 'Nowadays, people tag people on social media. If you deviate from the norm, you get tagged,' he continued. 'So I made this for those people. It's a message to people who just want to live a normal life.' Blazers, suits, and overcoats are paired with sweatpants and cargo shorts on the bottom, while half-buttoned Oxford shirts hang loosely over basic tanks and graphic tees. Tuned into innovating the trompe l'oeil technique since early on, Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's Spring 2026 centerfold is its deceiving jacketing silhouettes. On many jackets – denim jackets, varsity jackets, and Sukajan bombers alike – the sleeves are split in half, simply hanging over the look rather than actually encasing the arm. Introduced about a fifth of the way through the runway, comes a collaboration with British-Indian artistNavinder Nangla, his infamous 'Fassion Weak' motif stamped alongside other misspelled tagging like 'Khaos' and different plays on 'Ordinary People.' 'Don't Tag Me' is another slogan that surfaces throughout the range, imprinted in the center of crewnecks and cardigans. As for accessories, models carry catch-all bags shaped like stuffed animals, totes filled with flowers, and don banana-chain necklaces. Explore Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's 'Ordinary People' Spring 2026 collection in the runway images above and stay tuned to Hypebeast for continuing coverage on Paris Fashion Week.

Antony Gormley and Tadao Ando Team Up for Meditative Sculpture Cave
Summary ForAntony Gormley, sculptor is not a single, idealized figure, but means of understanding space and form through a shared field of perception. The acclaimed British artist is currently presentingDrawing on Space, his largest exhibition in South Korea at Museum SAN. Unfolding across all three galleries of the museum's Cheongjo wing, the exhibition gathers an impressive array of 48 works, alongside a newly-unveiled architectural intervention by Japanese architectTadao Ando, at its heart. Drawing on Spacecontinues Gormley's decades-long investigation into the human body as both subject and site, looking to the body as a porous, responsive form to explore how we sense, navigate and ultimately, embody space. This inquiry finds its most ambitious expression in Ground, a subterranean dome housed beneath the museum's flower garden. The structure evokes the architectural spirit of the Pantheon and the similar meditative flair seen in Ando'sSpace of 25-meter-wide chamber features a sole oculus that casts light across the space. Inside, seven cast-iron figures from Gormley'sBlockworksseries appear seated, crouching and standing with one final figure positioned in the center of the aperture, standing outside against the backdrop of the distant, forested mountains. Additional highlights of the exhibition include 'Liminal Field,' where forms of steel bubbles explore the transient nature of bodies, and the aluminum bloom-like rings of 'Orbit Field II.' Works on paper complement Gormley's sculptural practice as contemplative studies on light, mass and interiority. The aim is to let 'physical and imaginative space come together,' Gormley explained. 'The works will activate rather than occupy space, and explore the enclosures of architecture and the body as sensate.' Drawing on Spaceis now on view in Wonju through November 30.

Why did English punk duo Bob Vylan's visas get revoked by the State Department?
The State Department revoked visas for members of Britain's Bob Vylan punk-rap duo after they led chants during their set at the Glastonbury music festival in England over the weekend. The U.S. government and the BBC, which broadcast the event, said the language was antisemitic. "In light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants ... foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," State Department Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau posted on social media on June 30. The BBC issued a warning on screen for strong language while the set was being streamed online, but it acknowledged that it should have gone further. During Bob Vylan's set, he led the audience in chants including "death, death to the IDF, "referring to the Israel Defense Forces fighting a war in Gaza. Law enforcement is investigating "comments made on stage" for possible public order offenses, including hate crimes, after reviewing video footage and audio from their performances, the Avon and Somerset regional police force told Reuters. More: U.K. Culture Sec. condemns Bob Vylan Glastonbury performance, demands answers from BBC Bob Vylan, known for mixing grime and punk rock, tackles a range of issues including racism, homophobia, and the class divide in their songs and have previously voiced support for Palestinians.
