Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce reach another relationship milestone as they double date with her high school BFF
Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce have reached another major milestone in their relationship as they enjoyed a double date with her high school best friend.
On Monday night, the couple appeared in high spirits as they let loose at the Tight End University party with her childhood pal, Abigail Anderson, and her husband Charles Berard.
In footage circulating on X, the 14-time Grammy winner and Kansas City Chiefs star, both 35, were spotted arriving at the venue in the same car as Anderson and Berard.
The foursome kept their heads down as they quickly entered the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where the Lover hitmaker surprised the crowd by performing Shake It Off.
For the occasion, Swift rocked a black minidress from EB Denim ($495), knee-high Versace boots ($1,990) and vintage Steven Battelle Ancient Coin necklace, which she previously wore to a Chiefs vs. Bills game this January.
Her man embraced his reputation as a loud dresser by rocking a green camouflage set and black cowboy hat.
After the dynamic duo's fun night out, a source told People that Swift 'enjoys' nothing more than letting Kelce 'shine.'
The insider added that she 'lights up' around her boyfriend and that they 'stayed by each other's side all while chit chatting and catching up with everyone' at the event.
While Swift and Kelce only began dating in the summer of 2023, Anderson has been by the pop star's side since their freshman year of high school.
Anderson has appeared in a number of her BFF's music videos, including Picture to Burn, Fifteen, 22, Teardrops on My Guitar, I'm Only Me When I'm With You and New Romantics.
The pair met on their first day at Hendersonville High School in Tennessee, when they were both 15 years old.
The performer even name-dropped Anderson on her track Fifteen off her hit album Fearless, which won four Grammy Awards at the 2010 Grammy Awards.
In the coming-of-age track, Swift sings: 'You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail / And soon enough you're best friends / Laughing at the other girls / Who think they're so cool / We'll be out of here as soon as we can.'
During an interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2009, the Bad Blood songstress opened up about her friendship with Anderson.
'My best friend, Abigail, we met when I was 15. First day of school freshman year, we sat next to each other in English,' she gushed. 'She wanted to be a swimmer and go off on a college scholarship for swimming and I wanted to be a singer. Now she's off at Kansas on a swimming scholarship and I'm singing.'
In addition to attending a number of events with Swift as her plus one since her rise to fame, Anderson appeared in Swift's 2020 Miss Americana documentary and cheered her on at the Eras Tour in Nashville.
During the documentary, Anderson, who works at Celero Commerce, told her pal: 'I think you'd be an excellent mother. No questions.'
In 2019, she spoke fondly of their friendship while celebrating her on the release of her seventh album, Lover, via Instagram.
'15 years of knowing you and watching you grow, both as a human and an artist, I can honestly say I've never been more proud to call you my friend,' she wrote. 'I am completely inspired by everything that is you, @taylorswift, Congrats, buddy.'
In August 2024, Anderson adorably used a lyric from Swift's song, But Daddy I Love Him, to announce her pregnancy as she captioned a photo showing off her baby bump: 'I'm having his babyyyy.'
Under the post, Swift commented: 'When the internet says 'MOTHER' I feel like this pic is actually what they mean.'
Later that year, Anderson welcomed her first child, a son named Bennett, two years after walking down the aisle with her husband.
One year prior, Anderson gave Kelce her stamp of approval by liking a video on social media of Swift changing the lyrics of her song Karma to pay homage to him.
Instead of singing the lyrics, 'Karma is the guy on the screen,' the pop star made Kelce blush as she crooned 'Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.'
Over the years, Swift and Anderson have also appeared on each other's social media pages, like in party pictures from Swift's star-studded 34th birthday bash.

Lizzo puts Ozempic results on full display in tiny swimsuit after coming clean about weight loss aid
Lizzo proudly displayed her reduced frame on Friday - a week after she finally admitted to briefly using Ozempic to aid in her dramatic weight loss. Firing up her Instagram page, the 37-year-old singer posted an album of herself in a high cut one-piece swimsuit that left little to the imagination. She allowed her more than 11 million followers to catch a glimpse of the look from various angles, twirling this way and that for the camera. Her new album also featured a video that showed her posing in the swimsuit while a gentleman sprayed her with what appeared to be sunscreen. That night, the Juice hitmaker stepped out to dinner in a slinky, skintight cocktail dress that also highlighted her slimmed-down figure. The Detroit-born pop act was headed out to the upscale West Hollywood eatery Craig's, which has established itself as a local favorite among celebrities. She opted for a notably sheer dress that was cut off at mid-thigh, teamed with matching heels and a dazzling necklace. The Truth Hurts singer dropped her Ozempic bombshell last week during an episode of Trisha Paytas' Just Trish podcast. The Grammy winner explained that she started to take the drug at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that GLP-1 medication wouldn't help her in the long term. 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.' Lizzo then added, 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' When it came to the star achieving her weight loss goal, the performer explained that her change in diet was the major factor. Lizzo had been following a plant-based diet for many years - including only consuming vegan foods from 2020 through 2023. 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,' she told Trisha. 'Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. 'I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full. But really I was consuming 3,000-5,000 calories a day.' The songstress also talked about how some food products - even if they are small in size - can be packed with 'fake sugar' that can leave you still feeling hungry. 'So for me, when I started actually eating whole foods and eating like beef, and chicken, and fish. Like, I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up.' While the star made the choice to stop taking Ozempic early on, she stated that she didn't see it as 'cheating' for those that have taken the medication to help with losing weight. 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with,' the performer expressed. 'I think their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating.' It was previously revealed back in January that Lizzo lost 16% of her body fat and reduced her body mass by 10.5. When it comes to how she feels now after dropping the weight, Lizzo explained, 'I feel like I worked really really hard and it was intentional with what I did with my body. 'So when I get compliments, I go, "Thanks b***h." Like I really receive it because I need to receive that. I don't take it any weird way because I tried to do this.' Last year, the singer had shut down allegations that she was taking Ozempic in order to achieve her slimmer figure. At the time, she shared a short Instagram reel as she posed wearing a colorful, satin robe while her hair was pulled back into a low up do. The star added text towards the bottom which read, 'When you finally get ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit.' Lizzo then shared a screenshot of a comment from a social media user where they accused her of taking ozempic or 'coke.' The songstress had also been promoting pieces from her Yitty brand in a clip and wrote, 'What's is it… THE BRAIDS?! Cotton Bodysuit by @yitty.' The troll had typed in the comment section, 'did she use ozempic or did she snort coke.' In response, the Grammy winner wrote, 'whyyyy do u follow me?' followed by four crying face emojis. Lizzo then shared a screenshot of the Instagram user's account which had been set to private. Earlier this year in January, the singer proudly announced that she had achieved her weight loss goal. On Instagram at the time, she shared: 'I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. 'I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' And in April during an episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast, Lizzo explained how she uses the term 'weight release' instead of weight loss. She credited her boyfriend Myke Wright and explained, 'My man, he's so funny. He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, "Oh my gosh I lost five pounds" and he was like, "Where did it go?" 'I was mad at him, I was like, "Why would he say that?" but he was like, "Where did it go?"' The Good As Hell hitmaker further explained that she did not want to 'lose anything' but instead wanted to 'win.' Lizzo expressed, 'I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there's young people who are watching me and they're experiencing what I'm putting into the world. 'They're applying it to their own experience and their own life just like I did when I was a kid.' The star then got candid about 'how the media treated people who gained and lost weight' had an effect on her 'brain chemistry. 'Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even know.' The performer added, 'Even me releasing the weight has affected people and I take that seriously. I take that responsibility. And because of that I want to transmute it into something that makes people feel comfortable and less afraid of it.' During a recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Lizzo explained why she hasn't revealed exactly how much weight she has lost. 'If I say the number, I don't think people could do the math. I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, "Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!" Why are y'all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me.' Also on Thursday, the star further showed off her weight loss while making an appearance at the Dodgers game in L.A. The singer sported a pair of fitted white capri pants as well as a cropped shirt that had 'Juneteenth' embroidered on the front. She slipped into a pair of white pumps and allowed her platinum blonde locks to flow down straight past her shoulders. Lizzo opted to add minimal accessories to the look and also sported a pair of silver shades. The Good As Hell hitmaker was seen strolling onto the baseball field to throw the ceremonial first pitch before the Dodgers took on the San Diego Padres. Before testing out her skills by throwing a pitch, the singer was spotted standing on one side of the baseball field at Dodger Stadium Lizzo also had the chance to take part in the Celebrity Softball Game at the venue to celebrate Black Heritage Night.

Matty Healy takes aim at Taylor Swift during Glastonbury performance
Matty Healy couldn't resist taking a cheeky swipe at ex Taylor Swift on stage at Glastonbury - as his fiancée Gabriette watched on. The singer - son of Loose Women panellist Denise Welch and actor Tim Healy - headlined the Pyramid Stage with his band The 1975 to mixed reviews on Friday night. Despite vowing never to write about his past relationships, unlike his famous ex, Matty shared a subtle joke about his time with the Shake It Off hitmaker. 'I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation — the best,' he told the crowd on Worthy Farm. 'What do we say? A poet.' He teased in an apparent dig at Taylor's album,Tortured Poets Society. READ MORE: This Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader-approved setting spray will keep your make-up in place this heatwave Matty hit headlines across the world in 2023 when he enjoyed a brief romantic relationship with a newly-single Taylor. Their union fizzled out within weeks but was enough to inspire the Blank Space singer to mention Healy in a number of tracks on her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. On a podcast in October, Matty seemingly revealed he would not be producing a musical reply to Taylor's swipes - saying that he is 'not interested in' writing about the 'casual romantic liaisons' he has 'become known for'. 'If I made a record about, I don't know, all the stuff that was said about me, or my casual romantic liaisons, or my, whatever it may be, that I've kind of become known for, just because I was famous,' he mused. 'I think that's an obvious thing to draw from. I'm just not interested in it. And I think that the maintenance of the status quo is something that I always fight against. 'So the idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is going to be like, two years old. I see people doing that as well, and it's just not interesting.' The 1975's performance at Glastonbury this week has been met with divided opinions by fans. Singer Matty opened the set holding a pint of Guinness he didn't seem to drink, with a cigarette in the other hand. Fans took to social media to share their opinions of the gig. One wrote: "Matty Healy swaggering about with a pint he's no intention of drinking is the most annoying thing I've ever seen." Another said: "Matty Healy trolls on stage at Glastonbury: 'I'm probably the best songwriter of my generation — the best, what do we say? A poet.'" "Matty Healy carrying a pint of Guinness around to appear relatable and has not drunk a single sip in 10 minutes," another added. However, there were plenty of viewers that loved the show. One commented: "I do understand why Matty Healy is a polarising character but I think The 1975 are a brilliant band with sharp songwriting, brilliant diversity in sound & excellent musicianship. Still my favourites!" As a second took to the platform to say: "Say what you want about Matty Healy but he is a SHOW MAN."

Glastonbury viewers fume as The Searchers' final gig 'snubbed' by BBC
The Searchers ended nearly 70 years of touring with their debut at Glastonbury Festival on Friday - but their final performance was not shown on BBC iPlayer BBC fans were left feeling let down as The Searchers' live performance failed to reach TV screens. The Liverpool legends wrapped up an astonishing 70 years of touring with a landmark debut at Glastonbury Festival today. Kicking off on Wednesday, June 25, the Worthy Farm festival will thrill music lovers until Sunday, June 29, boasting performances from a glittering array of musical talent. The top-billed superstars gracing this year's stages include The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, and Neil Young, alongside other big names such as Charli XCX, Grammy-award victor Doechii, Rod Stewart, and The Prodigy. Spotted in the company of John McNally and Frank Allen from The Searchers was none other than Sir Paul McCartney, all ahead of the band's final bow. Fans had their hopes dashed when they tuned in on Friday evening from 8pm to 9pm for the Acoustic Stage event only to find it absent from BBC iPlayer. Despite the plethora of live content streaming across platforms, including stalwarts like the Pyramid Stage and newcomers such as Woodsies Stage – to name but a few – the omission of the Acoustic Stage did not go unnoticed. Disgruntled viewers took to social media, with one fan posting: "Surely The Searchers should be on one of the feeds live, last ever show." A second supporter queried: "Will the BBC show The Searchers set??" With roots stretching back to the '60s and having started their incredible journey at the iconic Cavern Club amidst peers like The Beatles, Gerry and The Pacemakers, and The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Searchers' farewell performance symbolised a fitting tribute to their remarkable impact on the music world. In a heartfelt sign-off, The Cavern Club bid their "bittersweet farewell" to a legendary group that's been synonymous with Liverpool for over 60 years. They said: "We know they'll take the same energy, warmth, and timeless tunes to the Glastonbury stage as they have to every gig over the years - from the cellar of The Cavern Club to the bright lights of international fame. "While this may be their final show, their legacy will echo on - in their records, in the countless musicians they've influenced, and of course, here at The Cavern Club, where it all began. We'll be cheering them on at Glastonbury - and we know the whole of Liverpool will be too." One of the original band members, John McNally, spoke with a buzz to the BBC about his unprecedented debut: "A Glastonbury debut at 83-can anyone top that? I don't think life gets any better, does it? "There will be a few nerves, but in a good way, and we'll be nicely warmed up from our shows in June. We can't wait to see our fans again for this incredible final farewell." Frank Allen gave a nod to his incredible six-decade stint with the band: "I have played shows across the world with The Searchers for over 60 years; Glastonbury has always been an ambition that has eluded us – until now. "The Searchers are finally performing at the greatest music festival of them all. What a way to round off a tour and a career. I can't wait to get up on stage and give our fans one final blast."
