Despite the internet being convinced they’re going to be wed over Fourth of July weekend in New York City, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven’t officially revealed any details about their upcoming nuptials. However, there is one thing about the couple’s wedding that Travis says he’s particularly excited about.
Golf champ Rory McIlroy, who just won the Masters for the second year in a row, is the guest on the latest episode of Travis and his brother Jason Kelce’s New Heightspodcast. During a discussion of what it’s like to attend the Masters Champions Dinner, Rory said, “It’s an incredible night, to be sitting in that room. It’s a bit like, um, and Travis, you’ll feel this this year whenever you’re sitting at your wedding and you have all the people in a room from, like, [your entire life].”
“It’s amazing to have all these people in the same room, from your childhood to people that you’ve — like, it’s just, you’re just sitting there, and it’s like surreal. It’s like unbelievable,” Rory continued.
“I can’t wait,” Travis chuckled.
“The only thing that I can compare it to is your wedding day because it’s like all this collection of people in the same room. It’s, like, wild,” he concluded. Travis repeated, “I can’t wait.”
Taylor also came up in a discussion about how she’s changed Travis for the better. “He’s more adventurous with food,” Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, revealed.
“Yeah, I’m more of a man when I’m around her and eating foods I haven’t tried before, yes,” Travis said with mock indignation.
Podcast producer Brandon Borders then joked that Taylor feeds Travis using “little airplane noises,” like you’d use to feed a toddler.
Carrie Underwood’s continuing her passion for fitness by launching her new wellness brand, HiNote.
“Health and wellness have always been such an important part of my life,” the American Idol star says. “Through my app, my own workouts, and daily conversations, I keep hearing the same heartfelt truth from women everywhere, myself included: we want to care for ourselves while still showing up for everything else our busy lives demand.”
“That’s why I created HiNote,” she continues, “to help build a home for the everyday habits that support real life: movement, nourishment, and simple routines you can stick with.”
HiNote’s first product is a drink mix that comes in three flavors. Carrie’s fitness app, fit52, will now be known as HiNote Life – Powered by fit52.
The “Before He Cheats” hitmaker previously launched the CALIA by Carrie Underwood fitness brand and partnered with BODYARMOR for a sports drink.
As part of the new venture, Carrie’s also supporting Girls on the Run International, a national nonprofit that offers after-school programs for girls in grades 3-8, focusing on physical activity, confidence-building and life skills development.
On the musical front, it’s been a while since Carrie’s released anything new on her own. Denim & Rhinestones came out in 2022, though she topped the chart duetting with Cody Johnson on “I’m Gonna Love You” in March 2025.

If you buy Selena Gomez’s house, you’ll be getting a place that was home to not one but two musical luminaries.
According to Realtor.com, Selena’s home in Encino, California, where she lived before she and husband Benny Blanco bought a house together, is now on the market for $6.49 million. She purchased the six-bedroom, 8 1/2-bathroom home, which measures 11,500 square feet, in 2020 for just under $4.9 million.
It was formerly the home of the late Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tom Petty, who custom built it in 1989 and owned it until a few months before his death in 2017.
Among the home’s amenities are a home theater, wine cellar, gym, massage room, glam room and a vocal booth. Outdoors, there’s a pool with a waterfall and stream, cabana, fire pit and al fresco dining area.
Selena and Benny now live in Beverly Hills, in a house they bought in February 2025 for $35 million, according to Realtor.com. That home has seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and two guest houses, one of which contains a home theater and one of which has a recording studio.

Mary J. Blige is stepping into a new chapter, and she says it’s been a long time coming.
After more than three decades in music, the Grammy-winning artist is headlining her first Las Vegas residency, a milestone she describes as both earned and deeply personal.
Speaking with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, Blige called the moment a reflection of her journey.
“It’s just time, you know? I’m where I’m supposed to be. I’m doing what I’m supposed to do. And I didn’t give up,” she said in the interview, which aired on Good Morning America Wednesday.
Known as the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” Blige has long turned her personal struggles into powerful music. Her songs have resonated across generations, something she says still humbles her today.
“What I was trying to do was get myself through tough times,” she said. “I had no idea I was getting other people through their tough times.”
Fans often tell her that her music helped save their lives, she said, a sentiment that keeps her grounded.
Her ability to channel vulnerability into art has been a defining trait of her career, particularly with albums like 1994’s My Life, which she still performs today. But she said revisiting those songs isn’t always easy.
“‘Not Gon’ Cry’ is always heavy. Even ‘My Life’ is heavy,” she said. “When I perform any song from the My Life album, it’s heavy. Really dark times.”
Now, Blige is bringing that emotional journey to the stage with her My Life, My Story residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, which has just expanded by 10 dates.
The show features some of her most beloved hits, guiding audiences through the highs and lows that shaped her career. It’s a mix of celebration and reflection — one she says audiences will feel deeply.
“They’re gonna have fun. They’re gonna dance. They might cry,” she said.
Beyond the music, Blige said her current chapter is defined by growth and peace.
“I’m not mad at anyone,” she said. “I forgave everybody that did whatever they did and moved on … and now my life is elevating, because I just choose peace.”
That mindset, she said, has helped her embrace this moment in her career — one she sees as the reward for years of hard work.
“The next chapter is just enjoying the fruits of my labor,” she added. “This residency is the fruit. This is what I’ve worked for. This is what I’ve earned. And I’m here.”
Tickets for the 10 newly added dates go on sale May 11 at 10 a.m. PT, following a few presales.

If you don’t want to spend hours online trying to buy concert tickets just to end up paying $400 or more for a seat with a lousy view, AMC Theatres just may have a solution.
Starting in June, the theater chain is launching Arena One at AMC, a new concert concept that has artists perform exclusive live concerts that will be viewable in real time in more than 300 AMC locations nationwide. Not only will fans have a great view of the action, but the tickets will be considerably less expensive.
The new program launches in June with a series of concerts billed as “Girls Night Live“: Bebe Rexha performs June 17; Paris Hilton performs June 18; Kim Petras performs June 19; and Maren Morris takes the stage June 20. Each concert has a host and opening acts, and when you buy your tickets, you can even order food at the same time.
But the main thing is, how much does it cost? Prices vary by theater and city, but the shows that are on sale now seem to range from roughly $66 to $77 each. Additional artists and performances will be announced soon.
Adam Aron, chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment, says in a statement, “Thanks to Arena One at AMC, music fans across the country will be able to come together for the same live concert, at the same time, all with the accessible premium experience of huge screens, powerful sound, and comfortable seats that AMC guests know and expect.”
