For seemingly the first time since she began dating Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift attended a Chiefs game with her BFF.

Taylor and Selena Gomez were spotted together in Travis’ suite at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, as the Chiefs took on the Texans. Also present was another one of Taylor’s longtime pals, Lena Dunham, who was sitting next to them, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who was sitting behind them. Leonardo appeared on Travis’ New Heights podcast earlier this year.

The Texans beat the Chiefs 20-10.

According to Page Six, this was the first time Taylor was seen at a Chiefs game since Nov. 23, when the Chiefs played the Colts.

If you multiply the number of singers Three Days Grace has by 10, then you’d get the band’s total number of #1 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.

The Canadian rockers’ current single, “Kill Me Fast,” marks the 20th 3DG song to reach the top spot on Mainstream Rock Airplay. Three Days Grace is now just the second act to have at least 20 number ones on Mainstream Rock Airplay since the chart began in 1981.

Shinedown is the other, and leads all acts with a total of 21 #1 Mainstream Rock Airplay hits.

“Kill Me Fast” appears on the new 3DG album, Alienation, the band’s first with their revamped two-vocalist lineup featuring both returning frontman Adam Gontier and longtime vocalist Matt Walst.

Two other Alienation singles hit #1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay: “Mayday” and “Apologies.”

Three Days Grace is currently on tour in Europe and will launch a U.S. tour in February.

On This Day, Dec. 8, 1980: Beatle John Lennon was killed in New York City

On This Day, Dec. 8, 1980 …

Legendary Beatles member John Lennon was shot and killed outside his New York City apartment building, The Dakota. He was 40.

Earlier in the day, Lennon signed a copy of his album Double Fantasy for a fan as he and wife Yoko Ono were leaving for the recording studio. When he returned later that evening, the same fan, Mark David Chapman, shot him twice. The musician was rushed to the hospital, where he died.

Chapman did not go on trial for Lennon’s murder, instead pleading guilty to second-degree murder. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison and became eligible for parole in 2000, but he still remains in jail.

No funeral for Lennon was held, but his cremated remains were scattered in New York’s Central Park, not far from The Dakota. A memorial for Lennon, Strawberry Fields, was later created in the area.

(NEW YORK) — Paramount said Monday it is making a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, swooping in just days after Netflix announced a $83 billion deal to purchase a large part of the media giant.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shareholders would be offered $30 per share, which represents a 139% premium to the stock price as of Sept. 10, 2025, Paramount said.

“Our public offer, which is on the same terms we provided to the Warner Bros. Discovery Board of Directors in private, provides superior value, and a more certain and quicker path to completion,” David Ellison, chairman and CEO of Paramount, said in a statement. “We believe the WBD Board of Directors is pursuing an inferior proposal which exposes shareholders to a mix of cash and stock, an uncertain future trading value of the Global Networks linear cable business and a challenging regulatory approval process. We are taking our offer directly to shareholders to give them the opportunity to act in their own best interests and maximize the value of their shares.”

(NEW YORK) — New York City has tied its record for the longest stretch without a homicide in recorded history.

The city went 12 calendar days — Nov. 25 to Dec. 7 — without a homicide, according to New York Police Department data.

That stretch — which ties a record set in 2015 — was ended when a 38-year-old man was shot and killed in the stairwell of a city-run apartment building in the Bronx on Sunday night.

During the first 11 months of the year, New York City saw its lowest number of shooting incidents (652) and shooting victims (812) in recorded history, according to NYPD data.

For the month of November, murders were also at the lowest level ever, with 16 murders, tying the previous record set in 2018.

“Right strategy. Great execution. That’s how you set record after record,” NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement. “Thank you to the members of the NYPD who have sacrificed so much this year to drive down violent crime to record lows.”

The record-tying milestone comes after the Trump administration considered sending members of the National Guard to New York City streets.
