Taylor Swift is coming down the aisle and officially saying “yes” to her love story.

The superstar singer broke the internet Tuesday after announcing her long-awaited engagement to Travis Kelce, after more than two years of dating. Photos show the pair posing together in a flower-strewn garden, with Swift wearing a black-and-white striped dress from Ralph Lauren (that’s already sold out, natch).

But what will Taylor Swift’s wedding dress look like? While the stylish singer is notoriously mum when it comes to revealing too many details about her outfits (or well, about anything really), she knows her way around a classic white ensemble. “Delicate,” “Gorgeous” and “Fearless” aren’t just names of songs in the Grammy winner’s catalogue — they’re also apt descriptors for many of her looks.

From lace dresses during her country era, to sultry and sophisticated gowns on the red carpet, we’ve rounded up 13 times Swift has worn white, with easy ways to replicate the look for less.

Whether these outfits will influence Swift’s actual wedding dress remains to be seen, but suffice to say, she’ll do it all with style.

The Dark Crystal Returning to Theaters

The Dark Crystal, one of the most inventive films to come from The Jim Henson Company (and by far the most terrifying), will return to theaters for a limited run October 12th and 13th.

Directed by Henson and Frank Oz, the Muppet fantasy epic traces a clash between the brutal Skeksis and the gentle Mystics, with Gelflings like Jen and Kira stuck in the middle. There are horrifying crab creatures, pulse-pounding chase scenes, and more than one on-screen murder — perfect for expanding a young child’s mind while funding the lifestyle of their future therapist.

Tickets for the two-day run are available via Fathom Entertainment.

Cardi B Denies Assault, Admits To Cursing At Security Guard Suing Her

Cardi B Denies Assault, Admits To Cursing At Security Guard Suing Her

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Cardi B finally took the stand this week for her civil trial connected to allegedly assaulting a security guard in 2018. The 32-year-old artist denied making any physical contact with the alleged victim, but did admit to cursing at them.

The Bronx star appeared in Alhambra court in Los Angeles this past Tuesday (Aug. 26) for the second day of the civil trial, per the Los Angeles Times. She revealed that she was visiting the obstetrician’s office while four months pregnant, due to concerns about her pregnancy, which was not public at the time. She got infuriated because she felt like Emani Ellis, the security guard, was recording her with a cellphone.

She claimed that she asked her why she was recording her, and Ellis said, “My bad,” only to continue following her and recording her because she allegedly had the right to do so. Cardi admitted that she never saw proof that she was being recorded.

“It was a verbal incident,” the “Outside” rapper said. “She didn’t hit me. I didn’t hit her. There was no touching. So, to me, it wasn’t no incident.” The Grammy winner admitted that she and Ellis were chest to chest at one point while in the hallway outside of the doctor’s office, which prompted Ellis’s lawyer, Ron Rosen, to ask some follow-up questions.

Cardi denied calling Ellis the N-word, spitting at her, or taking a swing, doubling down on the claim that their interaction was nothing more than a “verbal fight.” Rosen offered a distinction between a fight and a verbal altercation, proceeding to ask the mother of three if they were having the latter in that moment.

Cardi countered and said they were “debating,” which caused members of the courtroom to laugh. “We’re debating about whether you assaulted and battered Ms. Emani Ellis?” Rosen asked. “I guess so,” Cardi replied. “But I didn’t touch her. She didn’t touch me.”

Ellis first sued the hitmaker in 2020, accusing her of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and false imprisonment. During her testimony, the security guard admitted to being excited about seeing Cardi B in her workplace.

Cardi allegedly got angry with Ellis for supposedly informing people that she was in the doctor’s office, and proceeded to curse at her, call her the N-word, body shame her, mock her job, and threaten to get her fired. Ellis also claimed that the Am I The Drama? rapper took a swing at her, scratched her on the cheek, and spat on her.

Check out Oliver Sim’s playful new single ‘Obsession’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Oliver Sim has shared a playful new single titled ‘Obsession’ – check it out below.

The brand new single marks the first from the artist in three years, following on from his debut solo album ‘Hideous Bastard’, which arrived back in 2022.

Where that album took a deep dive into themes of shame, fear, and masculinity, the latest single takes an alternate approach; harnessing more chic, irreverent, and playful qualities.

It was produced by Bullion and Taylor Skye, and recorded by Sim – who is one third of The xx – between London and Los Angeles. It was given a premiere on BBC 6Music by Nick Grimshaw this morning (August 27), while also saw Sim reveal how he wanted the song to tell a story of lust and infatuation.

Check it out below, along with a new music video directed by lauded photographer and filmmaker Sharna Osborne. The visuals star Sim alongside British fashion icon Erin O’Connor.

This is the first new music from Oliver Sim to not be produced by his longtime best friend, collaborator and bandmate Jamie xx.

That being said, the two are still on great terms and are currently underway with work on their long-anticipated fourth album. The two of them also reunited recently when Jamie xx took to the stage at the 2025 edition of LIDO Festival in London.

In his time outside of music, Sim has been working on the rebooted JW Anderson Resort lookbook – starring in the project alongside the likes of Saltburn actress Alison Oliver, director Luca Guadagnino, and actors Joe Alwyn and Ben Whishaw.

The last time all three members of The xx – Oliver Sim, Jamie xx, and Romy – teamed up was on Jamie’s 2024 single ‘Waited All Night’ from his album ‘In Waves’.

Previously speaking to NME on the red carpet at the 2024 BRIT Awards about The xx’s new music, Romy shared: “We’re just keeping it really open and we’re up for trying new things, but it sounds like us. That’s all I can say right now.

“We’ve learned a lot from our different solo projects and it’s cool to learn from each other again. We grew up together and we had a lot of experiences, but to then have time apart and learn new skills, get new musical ideas and experiences and compare them… it’s been a healthy break.”

Charley Crockett on Why Outlaw Country Is Bigger Than Pop Country

Charley Crockett on Why Outlaw Country Is Bigger Than Pop Country

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Charley Crockett has seen his name in a lot of headlines over the past week, thanks not only to his funky new album Dollar a Day, but for an online feud with the country singer Gavin Adcock. After Crockett posted his thoughts about authenticity in country music on Instagram, Adcock accused the Texas songwriter of being a “cosplay cowboy.”

In a new interview with Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, Crockett shares more of his take on what constitutes country music, and disputes the notion that “outlaw country” is a subgenre of today’s country. He says it’s the other way around.

“They call the outlaw movement a subgenre of commercial country, but today there’s no doubt in my mind, that what they’re calling pop country is most certainly a subgenre of outlaw,” Crockett says on Nashville Now, adding that he thinks the pop-country industry is mostly vacuous.

“I don’t think they stand for anything. They stand for Auto-Tune and songs written by a committee,” he says. “Outlaw was about standing up for your rights against a very rigid music business system. In a game where you throw money at a young artist, and if it doesn’t work out, no problem, because there’s 1,000 standing behind you, well, a controversial figure is unlikely to ever rise.”

Trending Stories

Crockett and Adcock have gone back and forth for over a week now, with Crockett mostly refraining from answering Adcock’s salvos. But in a Sunday Instagram post almost certainly directed at his foil, Crockett wrote: “Black music made me. I will not apologize. Raised by a single mama. I am not ashamed. Many men have tried to destroy me. I will not lose.”

Download and subscribe to Rolling Stone’s weekly country-music podcast, Nashville Now, hosted by senior music editor Joseph Hudak, on Apple Podcasts or Spotify (or wherever you get your podcasts).

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Got Engaged Almost Two Weeks Ago

It’s a love story, the likes of which could be lifted from any number of Taylor Swift albums. TayTay’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, however, was no surprise in their inner circle.

On Tuesday, Aug. 26, Kelce, the Super Bowl-winning tight end, officially put a ring on it when he and Swift announced they were tying the knot.

That’s old news in the Kelce family. Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce, says his son proposed to TayTay earlier this month.

Speaking with News 5’s John Kosich, Ed Kelce remarked, “Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago.” Kelce’s father continued, “He was going to put it off till this week. I think she was getting maybe a little antsy, but he was going to put her off till this week, to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big special event. And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event … when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.”

On the big day, Travis popped the question in the garden at his home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. “He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, ‘let’s go out and have a glass of wine,’ … they got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful,” Ed Kelce remarked. “They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great.”

The Kelce family is thrilled to welcome the new, superstar addition.

“They’re just two young people very much in love, cast in a spotlight that they really haven’t sought but kind of followed with their success in their respective fields,” Ed Kelce says.

In what will be remembered as one of the pop culture moments of the decade, Swift and Kelce delivered the good news via a joint Instagram post, sharing a photo of the footballer down on one knee as Swift lovingly cradles his face. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” they quipped in the caption.

The post also features photos of the couple embracing in a garden of flowers, as well as a snap showing off Swift’s gold engagement band with a massive diamond in the center. The romantic update comes after about two years of dating, during which Swift and Kelce dominated headlines across sport, music and every other beat as America’s golden couple.

John Fogerty to Play CCR Songs on "Legacy" Tour Dates

John Fogerty to Play CCR Songs on “Legacy” Tour Dates

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Earlier this month, John Fogerty revisited his rich, rich past with the release of Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival. Featuring 20 re-recorded CCR classics — including “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” — the album is very much about the iconic singer further cementing his place in music history.

But the 80-year-old also isn’t done forging his creative future, and as such, he’ll be bringing Legacy on the road this fall. The down-home fun begins on Halloween in Atlantic City and visits Nashville, Atlanta, Virginia Beach, and Newark, among other cities, before winding down November 14th in Boston. These 11 shows are being touted as “Legacy dates,” and remain separate from previously-announced dates in late September/early October.

Get John Fogerty Tickets Here

Tickets for Fogarty’s “Legacy” tour dates go on sale beginning Wednesday, August 27th via Ticketmaster. Fans can also look for deals or get tickets to sold-out shows via StubHub, where orders are 110% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program.

Legacy only came to because, after several decades, Fogerty owns the CCR catalog (more recently acquiring the masters). A press statement called the record a “full-circle moment,” with Fogerty himself saying that the LP is “my way of celebrating that — of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.” (Fogerty co-produced the record with his son, Shane Fogerty.) The other people Fogerty “loves” include collaborators Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub and Rob Stone (which may serve as indication of Fogerty’s backing band on the road). Below, check out one song from Legacy, an especially stirring new take on “Bad Moon Rising.”

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Announce Engagement On Social Media

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially taking their love story to the next level. The global superstar and Kansas City Chiefs tight end have announced their engagement on Tuesday (Aug. 26) with a joint Instagram post.

“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the pair captioned the post, adding a dynamite emoji and a snippet of Swift’s track, “So High School.”

In the first photo, Kelce is seen kneeling on one knee beneath a floral arbor while Swift, in a striped dress, holds his face and smiles above him. Another shot shows a closeup of the singer’s hefty new ring.

The couple’s romance has captivated fans and dominated headlines since she first started appearing at his NFL games last year. While some football fans criticized the NFL for panning to Swift in the stands instead of the game, her presence reportedly boosted ticket sales and viewership.

Swift, however, has always kept her focus on their relationship despite the backlash. In 2023, she told Time magazine, “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”

Before Swift, Kelce publicly dated media personality, influencer, and former sports reporter, Kayla Nicole, for about five years before their split in 2022. As for the “Shake It Off” singer, she’s dated a plethora of notable men including John Mayer, Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, and others.

TV personality Kayla Nicole (L) and NFL player Travis Kelce attend the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports 2018 at Barker Hangar on July 19, 2018 in Santa Monica, California.

The couple’s engagement news arrives just weeks after Swift appeared on Kelce’s New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, to share details about her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl, slated to release next month.

Nourished by Time: The Passionate Ones Album Review

Nourished by Time: The Passionate Ones Album Review

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Midway through “BABY BABY,” a highlight of the excellent new Nourished by Time record, there is a sudden, descending synth swell, coupled with a delirious groan: Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby! This refrain, “baby, baby,” is the centerpiece of the song, and up to now, it has been mellow: a muttered coo, spoken like a groggy lover. As a vocalist, Marcus Brown is dynamic and world-weary, his elastic range spanning the hope and heartbreak of life in a withering empire. Weightless as his music may sound, it is burdened by capitalist rot, which is what makes it wrenching—pinpointing the precise moment you realize, like many Americans, that you are fucked. This despair floods “BABY BABY,” and at this specific juncture, when he trades his mutter for a moan, it curdles into something agonizing. No longer tender, “baby, baby” becomes a cry for mercy: the tipping point between having everything and having it taken from you.

Brown, an outspoken 31 year old from Baltimore, makes music for the things our dystopia steals from us. The moniker “Nourished by Time,” which borrows from “Guided by Voices,” is a statement of process: a “reminder,” Brown explained last year, “that if you put your energy and put your love and heart into something, it has no choice but to bloom.” As in his music, there is a bleak subtext to this beautiful sentiment. Energy, love, and heart—human things—are incompatible with late-stage capitalism, a system where time is not nurtured, but ground, along with people, into profit. His debut, 2023’s Erotic Probiotic 2, had a mournful varnish, a memorial service for hopes crushed and dragged away on conveyor belts. On “Workers Interlude,” when he pleaded “Don’t make me wait so long,” it felt like a meta-commentary: For Black, working-class Americans, time may never arrive to nourish you at all.

The history of revolution, in America, is peppered with cries of Wait! Be patient with the system. Brown’s music is inextricable from this history, which almost makes “Nourished by Time” feel winking, sarcastic. The feeling is more biting than ever on The Passionate Ones, whose titular characters, weary of waiting, wrestle for their humanity in a dehumanizing era. Unlike Brown’s prior releases, The Passionate Ones renders oppression as materially grimy, earthbound, suffocating. Where Erotic Probiotic 2 was hypnagogic in spirit—drawing from ’80s pastiche, sports-television samples, echo-heavy harmonies—this LP foregrounds rawer, more physical elements, without sacrificing Brown’s booming, atmospheric textures. For a musician so adept at concocting dreamscapes, this renewed iteration of post-R&B, punk-tinged and apoplectic, feels bluntly anti-escapist, as if to say: No, this is not music to dissociate to. These times call for urgency.
