Woman divorces husband for booing Taylor Swift at Super Bowl
In a viral video filmed after allegedly filing her divorce paperwork, Melcher explained that her decision was not solely based on the booing itself, but on the deeper issues it revealed about their relationship. 'I'm not just doing this because of the action of booing; I am doing this because of everything that it represents in our relationship,' she said.

Melcher elaborated that she had been a long-time Swift fan, and her husband, who had grown to enjoy her music, had always supported Swift. The act of booing, according to Melcher, exposed a profound lack of respect for her feelings. She expressed disappointment that her husband, instead of standing by her, chose to fit in with his friends by booing Swift. 'He just wanted to fit in with his boys. He didn't care that it would hurt my feelings,' she said.
For Melcher, the incident exposed her husband's immaturity. 'That's not a man, that's a boy,' she remarked, adding that it was a character flaw she could no longer ignore.
Reactions to Melcher's decision have been mixed. Some expressed support, while others criticized the decision as an overreaction, suggesting that her husband's behavior was a result of peer pressure rather than genuine disdain for Swift. Regardless, Melcher confirmed she would retain her assets, thanks to a prenup she had in place.

Comedian reveals what it costs to use one minute of Taylor Swift's music in a comedy special
Marc Maron has revealed he paid approximately $50,000 to feature Taylor Swift's 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky' in his latest stand-up special. Speaking on Vulture's Good One podcast, the comedian detailed the licensing process and the effort it took to secure the song. 'I think it came out to $50K or around that,' said Maron. 'I did everything I could to get the joke in front of her.' Despite knowing Swift's co-writer Jack Antonoff personally, Maron said Antonoff encouraged him to follow formal licensing procedures. Maron, 61, used about one minute of the track, explaining that exceeding that limit would have increased the fee. 'We couldn't even let it play out the special,' he noted. To work around that, Maron collaborated with a band to create custom music for the opening and closing. He said the decision to include the track was rooted in a personal connection. 'It had to happen,' Maron stated. 'The real fear is, like, she doesn't let you use it, and then what do you do?' Fortunately, Swift's team approved the request, though Maron doesn't know if she heard the bit herself. Maron previously discussed his emotional response to the song on his WTF podcast, describing how it moved him during a hike. The track, from Swift's 2022 Midnights album, explores themes of grief and emotional reflection, tones Maron felt resonated with the material in his show.

Taylor Swift may be preparing for her next musical chapter after being spotted secretly filming a new music video in Los Angeles, according to an insider who spoke exclusively to The US Sun. Despite taking time off with boyfriend Travis Kelce following the massive success of her Eras Tour, Swift appears to be back in creative mode. "Taylor was in Los Angeles on Thursday filming a new music video," the source revealed. "It was so top secret that those working on set were not even allowed to hear the song, only the beat." The development comes as fans speculate a countdown is underway on Swift's Instagram account, believed to end in early August. Swift's last studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, dropped in April 2024, marking her eleventh release. She has maintained a pattern of unveiling new music annually since 2016, intensifying anticipation that a fresh release could be imminent.
