Taylor Swift Turns Heads in a Romantic Dôen Floral Dress at Dinner in New York City

Taylor Swift has returned to New York City after spending Memorial Day weekend with Travis Kelce in West Palm Beach, Florida. The singer was spotted by some lucky fans arriving at Via Carota in a black floral Dôen dress last night.
Anna Majors posted footage of her table's reaction when Swift walked into the restaurant on her Instagram Story. She wrote, 'That face when you're having dinner and Taylor Swift shows up!'
Swift wore Dôen's Benoit dress, which hasn't sold out yet:
This is her second time wearing the brand in the last two weeks. For her Florida dinner date with Kelce, Swift opted for a white poppy two-piece look.
Her return to New York comes after a source close to Kelce told People on May 27 that the singer would be staying in Miami 'to support and spend time' with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end as he trains for his upcoming NFL season. The insider added that 'Travis still seems very happy with Taylor' nearly two years into dating.
Swift has been seen three times this May. In addition to last night's outing, she was spotted out in Philadelphia for a Mother's Day lunch and, again, in West Palm Beach for her date last Friday. Notably, Swift chose floral looks for all of the occasions. Time will tell whether she's just embracing a classic spring trend or dropping Easter egg hints about her next era.
Earlier this week, Swift surprised fans when she skipped the American Music Awards amid rumors she'd be announcing Reputation (Taylor's Version) there. Her absence was understandable, however, as the singer didn't win any awards despite having six nominations.
She has been largely out of the public eye since the Super Bowl, and sources have been vocal about how much Swift is cherishing the break. An insider told Entertainment Tonight on April 23, 'She and Travis have been laying low, traveling, and enjoying some time off and quiet time together.'
Last week, WNBA player Caitlin Clark, who knows both Kelce and Swift, shared a similar insight in an interview, saying '[they're] in vacation mode right now. So I hope they enjoy a nice little break out of the spotlight.'

Costco shoppers rave about 'deliciously addictive' summer treat that's gone viral
There's a new cake at Costco this summer – and members are raving about it. The Kirkland Signature Peaches and Cream Bar Cake offers three layers of vanilla cake that are packed with peach compote and whipped cream. Introduced to Costco warehouses in June, the cake also features white chocolate curls and peach glaze that are lathered on top of the dessert. It sells for $18.99. On a Reddit community of 1.3 million Costco members, some people have offered their thoughts on the cake. "It's good! Tasted like canned peaches, not peach candy flavor, which I appreciated," one user wrote. "Also, the frosting felt and tasted like whipped cream, not too sweet!" "The peaches [ingredient] has a nice tang," another reviewer said. "Not too sweet. Reminds me of an Asian-style cake, but has a denser sponge. Sweet and tart and great for the summer." "I was apprehensive the peach part would taste fake, but it's perfectly captured the sweet tang of stone fruit." A third reviewer wrote that the cake is "very deliciously addictive." The person bought three so far this month, according to the post. "It's got the perfect balance of cake, whipped icing & peach compote," the Redditor said. "I was apprehensive the peach part would taste fake, but it's perfectly captured the sweet tang of stone fruit." Jacquelyne Devine, a content creator from Pennsylvania, spoke to Fox News Digital about the new offering. Devine posts under the handle @shopclubcostco and reviews Costco products. (See the video at the top of this article.) The new cake is "one of Costco's best seasonal desserts," she told Fox News Digital. "It's sweet, refreshing and such a great value at $18.99," she said. "It feels fancy enough to bring to a party, but also easy enough to polish off at home." "I want to be buried in a casket made of these." The mother of three also said that, in her household, the dessert was gone "within days." "[We] are huge peach fans and we devoured it." The reviews enticed customers who were intrigued by the combination of tartness and sweetness. "I want to be buried in a casket made of these," one hungry customer said. "Rest in Peach," another replied. "Oh my ... I might actually buy this," another wrote. "I'll look for that! I love desserts that are not too sweet," a different Costco user said. One person offered a critical take, saying the cake did not evenly distribute the peaches and thus "was kinda bland." "The whipped cream filling tasted a bit artificial," the critic added. "The white chocolate shavings taste like old Easter 'chocolate.' The cake itself was fine and light, but might benefit from a soak of some kind." The cake is one of many new offerings that Costco has introduced to members this summer. The wholesaler recently began selling a new "Combo Calzone" for $6.99. The meal is stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, olives and mushrooms. Costco also recently began selling a frozen strawberry lemonade drink, which is made with real fruit and no artificial flavors or colors. It costs $2.99.

Bride Masters Samoan Dance in Just 5 Days to Honor Husband's Family at Wedding: 'I Wanted to Make Them Proud' (Exclusive)
Just days before her wedding, Madi decided to learn a traditional Samoan dance to honor her husband Samu's heritage With only five days to prepare, she practiced between wedding events and even during a trip out of state — capturing the journey on TikTok Her surprise performance moved Samu's family to tears and went viral, becoming a powerful symbol of love, respect and cultural connectionWhen Madi decided to learn a traditional Samoan dance just five days before her wedding, she didn't expect the world to be watching. But a TikTok video capturing her journey — complete with hotel-room rehearsals and joyful nerves — quickly touched millions. 'I always knew deep down that I wanted to do it, even early on in our relationship,' Madi exclusively tells PEOPLE, remembering the moment the idea took hold. Inspired by videos she'd seen of brides embracing Samoan traditions, she felt a quiet pull to do the same for her future husband, Samu, and the family she was about to join. Their love story began years earlier at the University of Utah, where Madi played softball and Samu was on the football team. They met through a campus ministry group and bonded over faith, friendship and eventually, something more. 'Some of our friends started putting the bug in our ear about how we would be a cute couple,' Samu tells PEOPLE with a grin. That playful encouragement turned into a connection that grew steadily over time. Their first date, complete with matching knee injuries, still makes them laugh. 'He did not want to reschedule. He was very adamant about making sure it happened,' Madi recalls, remembering how they hobbled into an arcade together; she was on crutches, he was fresh out of surgery. Four years later, after countless FaceTime calls and long-distance stretches while Madi worked as a nurse, Samu proposed by a lake with the help of his family. 'I've waited my whole life for her,' he says. Wedding planning brought excitement and emotion, but also a surprise challenge Madi didn't see coming. 'The five days thing wasn't ideal,' she says, laughing. Originally, she tried to teach herself a dance from YouTube, unsure what would resonate. 'Then he said his cousin was going to choreograph a dance,' she explains. But when that choreography finally arrived, Madi was in Georgia for a funeral, practicing alone in her hotel room and sending videos back to Samu's sisters for feedback. 'There's no way I'm going to know if I'm doing this right,' she remembers thinking, unsure but determined. The pressure didn't let up as the wedding approached. 'The odds were really kind of stacked,' Samu says, noting that even his mom, who'd planned to help, had to leave town unexpectedly. Still, his sisters stepped in, squeezing in a last-minute rehearsal just two days before the ceremony. 'It was a family effort for sure,' Samu adds. 'Everybody pitched in.' By the time the moment arrived, Madi had barely caught her breath from the whirlwind of the week but she stepped onto the dance floor with everything she had. 'I felt all of the emotions,' she shares. 'The biggest thing I wanted to do was make them proud and also show them that I really value their culture.' For Samu, the moment landed like a dream. 'There's just this sense of awe,' he says. 'I always dreamed about my wife doing [the dance] … and to see her step in and accept it in that way was so powerful and beautiful to me at that moment.' He saw something deeper than choreography. 'In marriage, you're saying yes to this person, but not just to everything — also to the culture,' Samu explains. 'It was such a beautiful thing.' The experience also deepened his own connection to his Samoan roots. 'It definitely helped me, encouraged me to learn more, but also just rekindled this love that I have for where I come from,' he says. Madi, too, walked away transformed. 'Before, the way that I viewed his culture was, I thought it was cool,' she says. 'But now after learning it and seeing the love that his family has for the culture, I think it's made me appreciate it more.' 'Now I would describe it as beautiful,' she continues. 'I think doing the dance, seeing their reaction, it's made me not only love him more, but his family more.' There were bumps along the way — moments where the blending of two cultures felt overwhelming. 'At first we had a conversation where there were other aspects of the Samoan culture that were kind of creeping into the wedding and that weren't necessarily planned,' Samu shares. But the couple chose to approach it all with grace and patience, staying grounded in communication. 'We had to just talk through how we felt,' Madi says. That patience was tested again during the wedding itself, when Madi was pulled into a third unexpected dance by Samu's aunts. 'I was already overwhelmed 'cause I'd just finished the dance,' she remembers. 'But then a lot of his aunts were getting me ready. I was so confused.' Samu quickly stepped in to reassure her. 'He was understanding, he was like, 'Just do what you were doing in your dance,' ' Madi says. 'And then I think seeing him dance, it made me happy again.' Madi's family heritage wasn't left behind, either. 'In the Filipino culture, we also do a money dance,' she says. 'A lot of my uncles wore a traditional Filipino shirt as their formal attire. I feel like that was welcomed pretty well.' The TikTok, which began as a way to share her personal journey, soon turned into something much bigger. 'I think the most common thing that I saw was people being like, they were able to see when two people get married, they see true love in action when the spouse is willing to learn things of their culture,' Madi says. The comments from Samoan viewers in particular meant the world to her. 'There were a few Samoans that commented and they're like, 'You did great. We appreciate you sharing our culture.' And it's really cool to see,' she says. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Samu, who doesn't use TikTok himself, was stunned by the wave of encouragement. 'It was just cool to see the positive side of social media, people rallying around this idea of two people coming together, loving one another and representing a culture and representing it well,' he tells PEOPLE. Through it all, the couple say their love only deepened. 'There was a lot of patience, kindness, graciousness, compassion toward one another in that time,' Samu says. 'To have her come in and basically embrace my family, my culture, us with open arms was so amazing.' The day was also grounded in their shared faith, with a communion ceremony and worship led by close friends. 'We attest our relationship and everything that we have to God,' Samu says. 'We wouldn't be here without Him.' As the views keep climbing and the comments pour in, Madi and Samu are still soaking in the impact of it all. 'We learned that it's okay to feel overwhelmed,' Madi says. 'But what matters is walking through it together, giving each other grace and embracing the beauty of both our backgrounds.'

13 Absolutely Baffling Photos From This Week That Will Make You Say, "What Am I Even Looking At?"
Hello again, and welcome to our roundup of the most confusing photos we found on Reddit this week. Check out last week's if you missed it — and let's get right into it! this a top-down view or is the person looking up? The person who took the photo is actually at the base of the stairs, looking up — you can tell by the railings. did this dog's body go? It is most definitely there! The foreground is a curb, and the photo was taken from a lower position than the dog, so its body is just hiding behind its head! is a car here. Can you tell where? It is on the left side and is making a perfect mirror reflection off the background. The two black things above the tire are the handles. called this "a bouquet of toe beans" and it is confusing and a bit unsettling. Can you decipher it? The dog has all four of its paws just hanging off the couch. Its black toenails are what make this photo even more trippy, but it is just four dog legs, each with five paw pads. Is this a tarantuala/bird hybrid? Nah, those are babies, and what looks like a tarantula is actually each one of their wings folded up beside them. one creates all sorts of confusion. Are you confused? Some people want to know why the middle person appears to be pulling their hair out (she's just pulling out a hair tie). And some people think the last photo is someone, uh, spreading their cheeks, but it is just a back massage. Lastly, people are also wondering why "pregnancy" appears to be a service, lol. this a tiny what is going on here? The pizza is normal-sized, just on the floor, and the person is standing up. They are holding the key up in front of them to make the pizza look even smaller. A depth perception trick! is this person sitting on? Just a big bean bag that happens to resemble the color of sweatpants! this person disappearing? Nope! Their hat just matches the sun on the ground in the background perfectly, and the rest of their body is in the shade. this dough indented or popping out? It looks like it is popping out, but it is actually indented. that couple is holding hands. But, what is that in the background? It is someone's leg crossed over their other leg with their arm resting on top. Get your mind out of the gutter! bride does not have one arm that is larger than the other. Why does it look like it, though? Her arm is blending in with the person behind her who is tending to the back of her dress. finally, what is going on with this ghost cat? This is not the reflection of a cat; it is a reflection of the cabinets in the back. Which one of these photos stumped you the most? Let us know in the comments!
