Are you ready for it? A cat named Taylor Swift and a dog named Travis Kelce are getting married, and if you’re in the neighborhood, you can witness their “Love Story” in person.
The tabby cat, named Taylor “Kitty” Swift, and the dog, Travis “Takeoff” Kelce, who appears to be a bulldog mix, will wed Saturday at the Jefferson Parish Eastbank Regional Library in Metairie, Louisiana, where the furry couple first “bumped noses.”
The public is invited to attend, but you need to register and to “dress nicely,” according to the library.
The event isn’t entirely a joke, though. The celebration of the animals’ “fur-ever love” is actually an adoption event with Jefferson Protection & Animal Welfare Services. The wedding invitation from the library says, “Taylor and Travis want more than anything to see some of their friends from JPAWS go to loving homes. Adoptable cats and dogs will be there in as guests and special members of the bridal party.”
As for the real Travis and Taylor, they do have some connection to Louisiana. Travis played in the 2025 Super Bowl at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, and Taylor performed three sold-out shows there on her Eras Tour.

The new track from Ella Langley unexpectedly shines some light on why she took time off the road back in August.
“Loving Life Again” was written with ERNEST and Devin Dawson after a short sabbatical in her home state.
“Last year, I just kind of lost my mind a little bit,” Ella says in a news release. “My imposter syndrome kicked in. My life was moving faster than ever. All my dreams were coming true, but I felt sad for some reason, and just that in itself was frustrating. … I never cancel anything, maybe one or two shows the whole time, and I ended up canceling two weeks worth.”
“So I did that, I came back here,” she continues. “I closed on my first house here in Alabama coincidentally right around the same time, and I really just got to be back home with my family. I got to grow my relationship with my faith. When I looked in the mirror I looked like myself again by the end of those two weeks.”
“Looks like I’m back to [loving] life again” was Ella’s answer one day when ERNEST asked her how she was doing.
“Loving Life Again” arrives with a music video Ella shot barefoot at her grandpa’s piano in a field in Alabama. It’s the latest preview track of her second album, Dandelion, which drops April 10.

Is Robert Smith’s collaboration with Olivia Rodrigo going from the stage to the studio?
The Cure frontman memorably joined the pop star during her headlining set at Glastonbury 2025 to perform “Friday I’m in Love” and “Just Like Heaven.” As Smith tells British Vogue for a profile on Rodrigo, they have kept in touch following the show.
“She calls me up quite a bit to talk about clothes and fashion – and we have enjoyed a couple of memorable nights in the studio together,” Smith says. “I can’t wait to hear what she does next!”
Smith adds that he purchased Rodrigo’s two albums, SOUR and GUTS — “both on CD!” he says — after hearing her hit “drivers license.”
“Although most of the songs on those two albums are not really ‘aimed at my demographic'(!), they are all so good that it is hard not to fall in love with them,” Smith says.
Perhaps we will hear a collaboration on Rodrigo’s next album.

After releasing three EPs, Myles Smith is finally putting out his debut album.
The “Stargazing” singer announced on Instagram that My Mess, My Heart, My Life will be out June 12. He wrote, “If I’m being honest, I’m still figuring all of this out. I don’t have all the answers. Just feelings, moments, and experiences that I’ve been trying to make sense of for a long time. These songs came from that. From growth, from mistakes, from healing, from hurt. Sometimes all at once.”
“And even though things might look different now, I’m still learning in real time. Still understanding myself. Still finding my way, just like you,” he continues. “That’s why this doesn’t feel like just my album. It feels like something we’ve grown into together.”
He concludes, “If you’ve ever felt like you’re still piecing things together, like you don’t quite have it all worked out yet… you’re not alone in that. I’m right there with you. Always.”
He added in the comments, “Thank you to everyone for getting me here. Genuinely this is all cause of ya’ll. hope you stick around for this thing we’re building pooks x.” Myles calls his fans “pookies.”
You can now sign up on Myles’ website for presale access to his upcoming North American tour. The presale starts March 25 at 10 a.m. local time. The tour starts June 16 in Irving, Texas, and is set to wrap Aug. 26 in Philadelphia. In between dates, he’ll be opening for Ed Sheeran on Ed’s LOOP Tour.

If you ever wondered what Ice Nine Kills would sound like if they were from the 1980s, we finally have an answer.
The horror-themed outfit has unearthed a new song called “Hell or High Slaughter” recorded by a hair metal band called Grave Diggler, which, according to a press release, featured the fathers of every INK member.
However, as seen in the “Hell or High Slaughter” video, the Grave Diggler members look an awful lot like Spencer Charnas and company in Mötley Crüe-esque wigs.
“What people don’t know is that the way that Ice Nine Kills actually met is that all of our fathers were in Grave Diggler,” Charnas, ever committed to the bit, says in a statement.
You can watch the “Hell or High Slaughter” video on YouTube. The song is also featured in the new horror movie sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, in theaters now.
Ice Nine Kills released a new song called “Twisting the Knife” for another horror film, Scream 7, in February.

Cannons have released a new song called “Light as a Feather,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Everything Glows.
“Opening in slow-motion with keyboards sighing behind twinkling stereoscopic guitars, [‘Light as a Feather’] soon explodes into a dance anthem,” a press release reads.
A visualizer for “Light as a Feather” is now available on YouTube.
Everything Glows, the follow-up to 2023’s Heartbeat Highway, drops March 27. It also includes the previously released songs “Starlight,” “All I Need” and “These Nights.”
Cannons will launch a U.S. tour with Bob Moses on March 31 in Phoenix.

(LONDON) — Israel’s strike on the world’s largest natural gas field could severely impact Iran’s energy sector and several nearby Gulf states, energy experts told ABC News.
On Wednesday, Israel launched air strikes on South Pars, a natural gas field that covers about 3,700 square miles and serves as a vital source of fuel for Iran. It is located offshore in the Persian Gulf and contains about 1,800 trillion cubic feet of usable gas, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
South Pars accounts for about 70% of the gas Iran consumes, Ira Joseph, a senior research associate at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, told ABC News.
David G. Victor, a professor of innovation and public policy at the University of California at San Diego, agreed on the importance of South Pars to Iran.
“It’s the single most important natural gas field to Iran,” he told ABC News. “If you start tanking the Iranian economy, eventually, other parts of that infrastructure are going to start falling apart too.”
South Pars is part of a giant gas field that transverses to other nations — another section, the North Dome, is part of the same natural gas field but lies in Qatari territorial waters.
Combined, South Pars and the North Field account for about 10% of the gas traded in the world and about 20% of the world’s liquified natural gas (LNG) annual exports, Joseph noted.
Iran also exports gas into Turkey, Iraq and Central Asia — so those exports have been disrupted by the war, according to Joseph. Turkey acquires up to 15% of its gas from Iran, he added.
The U.S. is relatively insulated from natural gas price shocks due to the strikes on Iran’s gas fields because the U.S. is a big producer and doesn’t have enough export capacity to fully link itself to Asian and European markets, Catherine Wolfram, a professor of energy economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told ABC News.
Countries like Japan, Korea and the Europeans who are dependent on imports will take a big hit to their supply as a result of the attack on South Pars, she said.
But the impacts of the strikes on the South Pars field extend “far beyond” energy prices, Naho Mirumachi, a professor of environmental politics at King’s College in London, told ABC News.
The current volatility of gas production can have “serious” impacts on agriculture and the global production of food, especially since natural gas is vital for fertilizer production, she noted. Fertilizer shortages or higher prices of fertilizer will likely translate to increases in food costs, according to Mirumachi.
“Food production cannot wait for gas production to return to normal, so farmers and businesses could face declining crop yields,” she said.
There has never been an attack of this magnitude on South Pars field because of a historical understanding within the region to not disrupt or inhibit each other’s vital infrastructure, according to the University of California’s Victor.
“There had been a kind of norm that exists in many wars, which is, don’t attack each other’s vital infrastructure,” he said. “Both sides had an interest in not obliterating each other’s energy infrastructure and then causing this enormous harm in the global market.”
The strike on South Pars triggered an escalation of attacks on oil and gas facilities in the region.
Iran launched a series of retaliatory strikes against the vital energy infrastructure in nearby Gulf states. It issued evacuation orders for several energy assets in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, before hitting the world’s largest LNG terminal — an import and export facility — at Ras Laffan in Qatar.
“Targeting energy infrastructure constitutes a threat to global energy security, as well as to the peoples of the region & its environment,” a spokesperson for the QatariMinistry of Foreign Affairs wrote in a post on X on Wednesday.
In a social media post late Wednesday, President Donald Trump said neither the U.S. nor Qatar was aware Israel would attack the South Pars Gas Field, calling for Israel to not do so again unless Iran continues attacking Qatar’s LNG facilities.
“NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL pertaining to this extremely important and valuable South Pars Field unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar,” Trump said.
Iran warned that it would target energy facilities throughout the region.
The attacks on energy centers began on March 7, with Israeli air strikes on major Iranian oil storage facilities causing “black rain” to fall on the Tehran, Iran’s capital with nearly 10 million residents. The Israeli military said the facilities were struck because they were “used by the Military Forces of the Iranian Terror Regime in Tehran.”
On March 11, the International Energy Agency announced it would release 400 million barrels of oil from its strategic reserve — the largest-ever release of reserve oil in the group’s history — in response to the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. A fifth of the global oil supply passes through the waterway, which lies between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
The U.S. also executed a strike on Kharg Island on March 13. The small island is situated in the Persian Gulf, off the southwestern coast of Iran, and processes 90% of Iranian oil exports.
Every military target on Kharg Island was “obliterated,” Trump said in a social media post. But its oil infrastructure was left intact.
The conflict has sent energy prices soaring, with Brent crude — the international standard for oil — peaking at $119 per barrel on Thursday morning.
