At The Box Office: ‘Lilo & Stitch'
Swift has admittingly never seen the full film, so she went in 'with completely fresh eyes.' Generally speaking though, there was a variety of comedic and emotional experiences in the film that Swift appreciated.
Not all of the jokes, however, made her 'laugh out loud'.
'When it's emotional it's really wonderful, when it's funny it's just okay.'
Swift attributes this to the actors in the film, specifically the young actress who plays Lilo. Having a better balance of older characters with such a young actor, who plays a vital role, could have made the film more entertaining.
While the technical team 'could have done so much more,' Swift still thinks this will dominate the box office. Despite its flaws, 'Lilo & Stitch' is still a fun film.
Anyone interested in seeing the film can check it out in theatres now.

Travis Kelce Posted a Rare Reply to a Taylor Swift Comment That Went Viral
THE RUNDOWN On Thursday, Travis Kelce posted a rare reply to an online comment about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The NFL star was apparently watching musical artist Jelly Roll on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show, where the singer was shouting out his own favorite artists. He suggested Morgan Wallen and Post Malone, before thinking of Swift. But then he couldn't stop gushing. 'She's the GOAT!' Jelly Roll insisted. 'I will fistfight anybody who says otherwise. Travis, don't even worry I got this one. You know what I mean? She's the GOAT.' Kelce commented on McAfee's Instagram post of the moment, writing, 'my dawg is the realest!!' adding some laughing and high-five emojis for emphasis. The comment has already garnered over 3,000 likes as fans seem to agree. Swift and Kelce have been enjoying some downtime together ahead of training camp for his team, the Kansas City Chiefs. The football player had a spring and summer break following the team's loss at the Super Bowl in February. Swift wrapped up her Eras Tour in December. The couple has been spotted in New York City, Florida, and Tennessee during the last few months. A source told People in April, 'They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoy it. They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It's a special time for them.' The source added that the couple is 'very serious and in sync.' 'They value the same things,' the source said. 'Right now, the focus is very much on private time out of the spotlight.'
