But before logging off, the creator hinted that his return could be his biggest move yet, leaving fans hyped and suspicious in equal measure.
IShowSpeed hits pause after wild European streaming tour
On Tuesday, July 9, 2025, IShowSpeed wrapped up what might've been his most chaotic travel arc yet. He casually revealed on stream that he's stepping away from broadcasting, at least for the next two weeks. The news came at the tail end of a high-energy session that wrapped up his recent European IRL tour.
But after what he called a
'W,'
the 19-year-old streamer hinted he's got something brewing behind the scenes.
'I'm taking a two-week break for a very good reason. When I come back, it's gonna be huge. Just wait and see. I promise it's worth it,'
he said.
Speed, real name Darren Watkins Jr., has been bouncing between countries for the past few weeks filming IRL streams, meeting fans, and occasionally getting into the kind of mischief only Speed can.
From surprising Parisian tourists to livestreaming wild football moments, the tour was peak entertainment.
'I promise it's worth it,' says Speed as speculation erupts
The streamer didn't offer much beyond a timeline and a single, loaded phrase:
'When I come back, it's gonna be huge. I promise it's worth it.'
Fans immediately jumped into theory mode. Could it be another mega collab? A stadium event? A long-rumored Messi appearance?
'Summer ain't over,'
he teased before ending the stream.

'That's all I'ma say.'
One thing's for sure: Speed knows how to leave a room.
Fans react as Speed disappears from the timeline
Within minutes of going offline, 'IShowSpeed' started trending on X (formerly Twitter). Clips of his announcement flooded TikTok. Fan pages lit up with countdown clocks, and guesses ranged from 'WWE return' to 'World Cup collab.'
One user joked,
'Speed finna do a collaboration with Messi when he returns.'
Some fans posted memes of Speed's signature scream overlaid with conspiracy boards, joking that his return could rival the Super Bowl. Others simply dropped messages like
'MISS HIM ALREADY'
and
'A two-week Speed drought? Pain.'
What's next? Only Speed knows, and he's not telling (yet)
While there's no official word on what Speed's next big thing is, those close to the community are convinced it's more than just a new setup or merch drop.
The creator's history of blowing past expectations, whether it's crashing the Royal Rumble or making music videos that trend globally, means this break could be the calm before a
massive
online storm.

India Couture Week 2025: Suneet Varma and Roseroom celebrate femininity
Isha Jajodia, a relatively new name in the couture scene and veteran Suneet Varma brought their interpretations of femininity to the runway on Day 2 of Hyundai India Couture Week 2025. Though distinct in style, both designers celebrated the sensuality and softness of the female form through collections that felt like poetic expressions of their imagination. A glimpse of day 2 at Hyundai India Couture Week 2025. Isha's collection Whispers Of Love To Myself, for her label Roseroom, was a tender ode to her own self. European romanticism came through in sculpted lace corsets, bustled skirts, and veiled capes crafted from Chantilly lace, tulle, and organza. However, there was a sense of déjà vu, as the silhouettes and the lace drama were reminiscent of her last year's ICW showcase. Suneet Varma's collection Sehr brought a theatrical flair with iconic '60s and '70s Bollywood music setting the mood as models glided on the runway. His designs struck a balance between sensuality and craftsmanship, offering fresh silhouettes that stood out. While the dramatic headgear may have overwhelmed some specators, they added a bold, statement-making edge in keeping with the show's theatrical tone.

Fans zoom in on Travis Kelce's phone wallpaper and find the cutest thing
Fans react as Travis Kelce's Instagram shows Taylor Swift lock screen. (Instagram) Travis Kelce just made Swifties lose it online and he didn't even say a word. In a new Instagram post, the Kansas City Chiefs star shared what looked like a casual photo dump from his offseason adventures. But fans with sharp eyes caught something more intimate: his phone's lock screen appears to feature a black-and-white photo of him and Taylor Swift . Naturally, the internet turned that tiny detail into a full-blown trending moment. Fans spot a romantic phone wallpaper featuring Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift On July 24, Kelce posted a carousel of 13 images, seemingly a nod to Swift's favorite number. The photos included vacation snaps, dinner outings, and snowy hikes. But what really got everyone's attention was a shot taken at a restaurant table. Sitting next to Kelce's drink was his phone, its screen lit up and revealing what fans believe is a couple photo of him and Swift. While the pair has been public for months, they've mostly kept private moments off social media. Kelce choosing to post a photo where his lock screen shows their picture feels deliberate. Many fans see it as a quiet but strong signal of how serious the relationship has become, almost like a 'soft launch' of their private life into the public eye. As soon as the image started circulating on X (formerly Twitter), fans erupted: Fans react as Travis Kelce's Instagram shows Taylor Swift lock screen The post itself has already generated hundreds of thousands of likes and countless quote tweets. Engagement rumors spark but here's what's actually true Some people even zoomed in on another photo and thought they spotted a ring on Swift's hand, fueling engagement buzz. But reports confirm that Swift was simply wearing Kelce's three Super Bowl rings as part of the photo set. There's no official engagement announcement, at least, not yet. For fans who've followed their story from secret sightings to stadium dates, even something as small as a phone wallpaper feels like a big deal. Whether or not wedding bells are in their future, this move shows that Kelce isn't shy about sharing his happiness and Swifties are here for every little clue. FAQs 1. What's the significance of 13 photos in his Instagram post? Taylor Swift famously considers 13 her lucky number, so many believe Kelce intentionally chose that number as a nod to her. 2. Is Taylor Swift's phone wallpaper also a couple photo? Reports suggest yes, she also has a lock screen featuring the two of them. 3. Are Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift engaged? No official engagement announcement has been made. The 'ring' seen in the photos is actually Kelce's Super Bowl jewelry, not an engagement ring.
