See Photos of Kate Middleton, Royal Family at Christmas Day Church Service

25 December 2024 at 06:31

Princess Kate Middleton joined Prince William, their kids and more members of the royal family on their annual walk to Christmas Day church service in Sandringham.

The royals have a longstanding tradition of enjoying an annual family stroll to St Mary Magdalene Church near Sandringham House on Christmas Day, and they carried on with the custom on Wednesday, December 25, despite the family’s recent hardships.

Kate, 42, decked out in a festive green coat and matching hat, and William, also 42, walked alongside their children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. King Charles and Queen Camilla led the royal family’s Christmas Day walk while greeting well-wishers, with pregnant Princess Beatrice joining the event with husband Edoardo Mappelli Mozzi and his son Christopher, 8.

The outing comes nearly one year after Buckingham Palace revealed Charles, 76, and Kate’s, 42, respective health issues. Both of the royals were hospitalized in January — Charles underwent a “corrective procedure” for a benign prostate enlargement and Kate had a “planned” abdominal surgery.

Charles reflected on the royal family’s challenging year during his annual speech on Wednesday.

“I am speaking to you today from the Chapel of the former Middlesex Hospital in London – now itself a vibrant Community space – and thinking especially of the many thousands of professionals and volunteers here in the United Kingdom and across the Commonwealth who, with their skills and out of the goodness of their heart, care for others – often at some cost to themselves,” he said. “From a personal point of view, I offer special, heartfelt thanks to the selfless doctors and nurses who, this year, have supported me and other members of my family through the uncertainties and anxieties of illness, and have helped provide the strength, care and comfort we have needed.”

Charles continued: “I am deeply grateful, too, to all those who have offered us their own kind words of sympathy and encouragement. … All of us go through some form of suffering at some stage in our life, be it mental or physical. The degree to which we help one another — and draw support from each other, be we people of Faith or of none — is a measure of our civilization as Nations. This is what continually impresses me, as my family and I meet with, and listen to, those who dedicate their lives to helping others.”

In February, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles was diagnosed with cancer during his hospital stay the previous month, though the type and stage has remained private. As a result, he “commenced a schedule of regular treatments” and postponed his public duties for the time being. Charles eventually stepped back into his public role in April as he continued to receive treatments.

As for Kate, in March — and after months of online speculation and conspiracy theories — she announced she had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer and was in the “early stages” of “preventive chemotherapy” treatments. She added at the time that the news came as a “huge shock,” noting that she and William had “been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

Kate subsequently confirmed in September that she had completed treatment, emphasizing that the “last nine months” had been “incredibly tough for us as a family.” She shared that she was doing everything she could “to stay cancer free,” although her “path to healing and full recovery” was still “long.”

Later that month, Kate returned to her public-facing royal duties for the first time since her health scare.

Taylor Swift Attends Travis Kelce’s Last Home Game of the Regular Season

21 December 2024 at 10:11

Taylor Swift returned to Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on Travis Kelce as his Kansas City Chiefs took on the Houston Texans.

The pop star, 35, was spotted at the Saturday, December 21, home game, the final game taking place at the Chiefs’ Kansas City, Missouri, stadium during the 2024-2025 NFL regular season. Swift rocked a red jacket with fur trim with knee-high black boots coordinated with a black bucket hat. Swift’s mom, Andrea, and dad, Scott, accompanied her.

Kelce, 35, and his teammates will finish out the regular season with away games against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday, December 25, and the Denver Broncos at a yet-to-be-determined date. The Chiefs’ season won’t end there, though, as they have already clinched a spot in the playoffs.

While Kelce is gearing up for his busiest time of the year, Swift wrapped her nearly two-year Eras Tour run in Vancouver on December 8. Between March 2023 and December 2024, the venture grossed a record-breaking $2 billion and was attended by 10.1 million fans across 149 dates.

To celebrate the accomplishment, Kelce organized an Eras-themed surprise soirée for Swift earlier this month.

“When she thought she was going to a small, quiet dinner but it was actually a giant surprise party with her friends and family, props included 🥳,” Swift’s pal Ashley Avignone captioned a Thursday, December 19, Instagram post with photos from the gathering.

In a series of images shared by attendees, Swift posed with her inner circle — including Avignone, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, the Haim sisters, Jerrod Carmichael and Lyndsay Bell — as guests wore Eras-inspired outfits. She also danced with Kelce and smiled as he placed a black hat on her head in a nod to the “22” portion of her concert. Kelce, meanwhile, was dressed in a black tuxedo and top hat, referencing his on-stage cameo during one of Swift’s London shows in June.

JoJo Edwards-Helaire, the wife of Kelce’s teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire, also confirmed in a TikTok comment that the “congratulations party” was “a surprise from Trav.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

Ahead of the tour’s conclusion, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Swift and Kelce “want to do ‘normal things’ as a couple” now that her schedule is not as packed.

As for whether an engagement is on the horizon for the couple, a second insider noted that they are not rushing it.

“Taylor does feel like Travis is The One, but jumping in is not her style,” the second insider revealed. “That’s just not how she does [things]. Marriage is a big deal, and she wants [it to be] forever.”

Former Bachelorette Andi Dorfman Shares Daughter's Name, 1st Photos

22 December 2024 at 08:09

Andi Dorfman and her husband, Blaine Hart, have welcomed their first baby, a daughter named Harper.

“28 hours of labor later … and we are officially a party of 3,” Dorfman wrote alongside a sweet snap of her and Hart holding their newborn’s hand on Friday, December 20.

The former Bachelorette, 37, announced her pregnancy via Instagram in August. “Future Mom + Dad!!!!” she captioned a photo of the couple posing with sonogram images as she showed off her bare baby bump. “To say we are over the moon is an understatement! Baby Hart coming later this year 🫶🏻.”

Days later, Dorfman reflected on the timeline of her relationship with Hart. The pair reconnected in 2021 while on separate vacations in Italy, though they first met 15 years earlier when they were in college. Dorfman went public with Hart in December 2021, and they announced their engagement in March 2022. One year later, they tied the knot in Italy in May 2023.

“A little reminder that good things can happen fast … while it is so wild (and surreal) to look back at this, for anyone who needs to hear this and those of you asking and seeking comfort about blooming later in life, I hope you never give up and never doubt yourself and your timeline,” Dorfman wrote via Instagram alongside a video of her relationship milestones with Hart. “Trust me, I’ve been on both sides of it, and I know it’s not easy, but I’m a firm believer that anything can happen at any moment at any age at any time. So say yes to the date, take that trip, indulge and invest in yourself, spend time with your girlfriends and don’t be afraid to live YOUR life on YOUR time! It is yours after all 💕.”

In March 2023, Dorfman opened up about her strong connection with Hart, revealing how she knew he was right for her.

“I didn’t ever think he wasn’t The One,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “I don’t remember having that moment where I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah, this is the man I’m gonna marry.’ We weren’t ever not together, and we never had a bad time and it just built up into what we have now.”

Bachelor Nation was first introduced to Dorfman during Juan Pablo Galavis’ season 18 of The Bachelor in 2014. Later that year, she appeared as the lead of season 10 of The Bachelorette. While she got engaged to Josh Murray on the show, they ultimately split in January 2015.

“Introducing … Harper Bell Hart,” Dorfman wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 22. “Our sweet girl came into this world at a solid 7lbs 13 ounces and towering tall like her Daddy at 20.5 inches! We are more in love with her than we could ever have imagined. I cry on the spot just looking at her and Dad is completely wrapped around her cute little finger.”

Harper’s middle name is short for “Bellissima,” which is the Italian word for beautiful.
“An ode to a place that has been a magical part of so many milestones in our lives and now will continue to be a part of her for forever,” Dorfman noted via Instagram, revealing that Hart picked out the moniker.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Pose With Kids on Sweet Holiday Card

19 December 2024 at 06:43

Prince William, Princess Kate Middleton and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, delivered a dose of holiday cheer with their 2024 Christmas card.

“Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas 🎄,” the family captioned the social media post sharing this year’s holiday greeting. The image from the royal family was snapped earlier this year when Kate, 42, released an intimate at-home video announcing that she had completed her chemotherapy treatments.

William and Kate wished royal watchers a “Happy Christmas and New Year” on the card, which was placed on a wooden table in front of a Christmas tree for the social media video. The clip was animated to feature snow falling as the family beamed.

The holiday card comes at the conclusion of a difficult year for the family of five. Kensington Palace announced in January that Kate underwent a “planned” abdominal surgery. At the time, she retreated from the public eye to focus on her recovery.

After much speculation about her condition, Kate confirmed in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer, though she did not disclose the type or stage.

Look Back at the Royal Family’s Christmas Cards Over the Years

“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” Kate said in a video statement. “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of treatment.”

Kate added that the news came as a “huge shock,” noting that she and William had “been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

In September, Kate revealed that she had completed her chemotherapy treatments, admitting that the “last nine months” had been “incredibly tough for us as a family.” She said she was doing everything she could “to stay cancer free,” though her “path to healing and full recovery” was still “long.”

Later that month, Kate returned to her royal duties after a nine-month break from her public-facing role.

Prior to her cancer announcement, Kate made headlines in March for sharing a Mother’s Day photo of herself posing with George, 11, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, amid her health struggles. The image was subsequently pulled by news agencies after allegations that it had been “manipulated” by the source.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Sweetest Moments With Their Kids

Kate addressed the snafu at the time. “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she wrote in a statement posted via X. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day.”

The incident was not the first time William, 42, and Kate were accused of photoshopping their pictures. Royal watchers pointed out apparent inconsistencies with the couple’s 2023 holiday card, including what some believed to be extra limbs and missing extremities.

A source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that the pair were “embarrassed” people thought their card — which showed the family posing in matching button-downs and pants — was heavily edited, adding that they “were as shocked as everyone else” by the backlash to the black-and-white photo.

RHOP’s Karen Huger Found Guilty in DUI Trial After Car Accident

18 December 2024 at 20:04
Prep Karen Huger DUI Case Results
Karen Huger.

The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Karen Huger has received a verdict in her DUI trial nine months after her Maryland car accident.

Huger, 61, was found guilty on nearly all charges except reckless driving, her rep told People on Wednesday, December 18. She is scheduled to be sentenced on January 29.

“Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case,” Huger’s attorney,  A. Scott Bolden, told People in a Wednesday statement. “We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time.”

Huger was involved in a car accident in Potomac, Maryland, in March. The Montgomery County Police told TMZ at the time that Huger was driving her 2017 Maserati in an “aggressive manner” in Potomac, Maryland, when she struck an intersection crosswalk sign and a parking sign.

She was not arrested but received multiple citations from police at the time. She was later charged with a DUI and DWI.

Real Housewives’ Legal Troubles Through the Years

Following the accident, Huger released a lengthy statement about her state of mind leading up to the crash.

“Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last night’s incident but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my beloved mother, grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mother’s Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami,” she told TMZ in March. “Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I’m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive! I did receive citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident which is understandable, but what was most surprising is that the car that almost hit me just drove away!”

She concluded: “I would like to stress, it’s important to understand your emotional state when driving and may this be a reminder to all to use their seatbelts. My mother may be my guardian angel, but the seatbelt saved my life.”

During Huger’s trial, body camera footage showed her saying she was “hammered” and appearing to slur her words.

Multiple witnesses also testified during the trial, including an EMT who claimed that Huger refused treatment at the scene of the accident and “swayed” when she attempted to get into an ambulance.

Huger has been an original cast member on The Real Housewives of Potomac since its 2016 premiere. The Bravo reality show is currently in its ninth season, which kicked off in October, and has followed the aftermath of the DUI.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Give Glimpse at Archie and Lilibet in Holiday Card

16 December 2024 at 11:06

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made the season bright with their 2024 holiday card, featuring children Archie and Lilibet.

The couple shared a glimpse at their home life as the parents of two via their annual card, which was released on Monday, December 16. “We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year,” the card read.

Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, included several photos of their travels over the past year to celebrate the holiday season. However, it is the rare glimpse at Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, that has fans talking.

In one photo, the children can be seen running to give their mom and dad a hug while their dogs run around their backyard. While the kids’ faces aren’t shown, they both have red locks like Harry. In the snap, Harry and Meghan are all smiles.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Give Glimpse at Archie and Lilibet in Holiday Card

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have carried on the royal tradition of sending holiday wishes via a personal card each year since they tied the knot in May 2018.

That December, the pair shared a new photo from their private wedding reception at Frogmore House. In the black-and-white image, they wrapped their arms around each other as they watched fireworks overhead.

The following year, the couple’s son, Archie, made his holiday card debut just seven months after his birth, crawling toward the camera as his delighted parents sat in front of a Christmas tree and gazed lovingly at him.

Look Back at the Royal Family’s Christmas Cards Over the Years

In 2020, the family of three took a different approach after Harry and Meghan exited their royal roles and moved to the United States. Their card featured an illustration of a photo taken by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, in which the trio spent time outside of Archie’s festively decorated playhouse with their dogs Pula and Guy.

“The small Christmas tree, including the homemade ornaments and other decorations, were selected by Archie, and the tree will be replanted after the holidays,” a spokesperson for the duo said at the time.

Harry and Meghan used their 2021 card to introduce their daughter, Lilibet, to the world in her first-ever public photo following her arrival that June.

“This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world,” they wrote alongside an image of the family posing in casual outfits as they beamed at their newest addition. “Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa,’ and Lili made us a family.”

In 2022, the Sussexes shifted away from sharing personal photos on their holiday card, instead including a snapshot from an official appearance at the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award Gala in New York City earlier that month.

“From our family to yours, and on behalf of our teams at The Archewell Foundation, Archewell Audio and Archewell Productions, we wish you health, peace and a very happy new year!” the message read.

Last year, the couple released a virtual holiday card featuring a photo of themselves cheering at the closing ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany that September.

Where Harry and Meghan Stand With Each Member of the Royal Family

“We wish you a very happy holiday season,” they wrote. “Thanks for all the support in 2023!”

While Harry and Meghan have kept a relatively low profile this year, she previously teased in a November interview with Marie Claire that their family was looking forward to the festive season.

“I love the holidays,” Meghan said, noting that “every year it gets better” because of her kids’ ages.

“At first, I think as a mom with children you’re just enjoying having them there, but they’re not understanding everything that’s happening yet,” she elaborated. “But now we’re at the age where I just can’t wait to see it through their lens every year.”

‘The Holiday’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

15 December 2024 at 13:00

Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet were already majorly famous before they starred in The Holiday, but the 2006 film is still one of their most beloved projects (for good reason).

The Nancy Meyers-directed movie follows two unlucky-in-love women who trade houses for the holiday season. Of course, romance ensues for Amanda (Diaz) and Iris (Winslet) in the form of Graham (Jude Law) and Miles (Jack Black), respectively.

While the romantic comedy became a film that many rewatch every December, Black hilariously forgot about its very existence in December 2019.

“My favorite holiday film — it’s got to be Elf,” the actor told Variety at the time. After the interviewer teased that he could’ve said his own movie, Black looked confused.

“Do I have a Christmas movie? Which one is mine?” he asked. “Oh, The Holiday! Obviously, The Holiday! Nancy Meyers — genius.”

TV Stars Who Played High School Students Well After Graduation

13 December 2024 at 12:55

From Chase Stokes to Nicola Coughlin, plenty of TV stars have played teenagers years after aging out of the demographic.

In fact, shows often gravitate toward older actors to fill roles that would be hard for actual high school students to fit into their schedules. There are also certain confines that create difficulties in the casting process when aiming to include young stars.

“It’s all because of the labor laws. The number of hours that children are allowed to work are highly restricted, which limits the amount of time that producers can actually have adolescents on set,” casting director Todd Thaler told Vice in May 2017. “Within those limited hours that children can work, part of that time includes education, rest and meals.”

However, placing older actors in teenage roles comes with its own set of issues.

Scroll to see which actors played high school students long after leaving the actual hallways:

Murray was 29 when she made her Riverdale debut as Josie McCoy in 2017. Her costar Ross Butler (Reggie Mantle) was 26 when he appeared in season 1 before being replaced by Charles Melton.

©

The Never Have I Ever star was 29 when he first played Paxton Hall-Yoshida in the hit Netflix series.

©

The Disney star was 29 when he was cast as Miley's older brother on Hannah Montana.

©

Porter took on the role of Jason Street in Friday Night Lights when he was 27 years old.

John B's problems on Outer Banks may not feel as familiar to Stokes — who was 28 when the series premiered in 2020.

©

The Ireland native may have played high schooler Clare Devlin in Derry Girls, but Coughlin was already 31 at the time.

©

The actress was 24 when Pretty Little Liars premiered in 2010. Costar Shay Mitchell was close behind at 23. The castmates played Spencer Hastings and Emily Fields, respectively, for six seasons before the show adjusted with a five-year time jump.

©

Wesley was 27 playing a 17-year-old in The Vampire Diaries in 2009. His character, Stefan Salvatore, was supposed to be ageless, which required fans to adopt a suspension of disbelief during the show’s eight seasons.

©

Monteith won over audiences as goofy football-player-turned-singer Finn Hudson on Glee in 2009, despite the fact that he was 27. The actor died in July 2013 of an accidental mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol, before the Fox series’ 2015 wrap. The show honored him with a tribute episode titled “The Quarterback” in October 2013.

©

Reed was 26 when Teen Wolf hit the airwaves in 2011. Her character, Allison Argent, was killed off in season 3 at the actress’ request due to the significant age difference.

©

Thirteen going on 30? Carteris was 29 while playing Andrea Zuckerman on Beverly Hills, 90210, which premiered in 1990.

©

Agena turned 27 days before Gilmore Girls’ first episode aired in 2000. The actress’ portrayal of Lane Kim was more than convincing too.

©

Monroe was 28 when she joined Dawson’s Creek as Andie McPhee during season 2.

©

While her Buffy, the Vampire Slayer character, Cordelia Chase, was supposed to be a teenager, Carpenter was 26 when the show launched in 1997.

Tanner first showed up on One Tree Hill as Antwon “Skills” Taylor in 2003. He was 28 at the time. A four-year time jump in season 5 helped the age gap.

Taylor Swift Appears Via Video at Billboard Music Awards After ‘Eras’ Wrap

Taylor Swift Appears Via Video at Billboard Music Awards After Eras Wrap

Taylor Swift did not attend the 2024 Billboard Music Awards in person, but she still took the time to share a special message with the audience.

The pop star, 34, prerecorded a video for the Thursday, December 12, awards show, where she made history after taking home 10 wins. The new wins bring her total Billboard awards to 49, making her BMA’s top winner of all time.

“I just want to say hi and thank you to the Billboard Awards and thank you to the fans because Billboard is counting your stuff, they’re counting what you listen to, the albums that you’re passionate about,” she said in her acceptance speech. “And so I count these as fan awards because you guys are the ones who care about our albums and come see us in concert.”

She continued: “And everything that’s happened with the Eras Tour and the Tortured Poets Department, I just have to say thank you. It means the world to me that you guys have embraced the things I’ve made and the fact that you care so much.”

Swift, who turns 35 on Friday, December 13, said she saw the award as the perfect gift.

“This is like, the nicest early birthday present you could have given me. So thank you very much. I love it. It’s exactly what I wanted.”

Billboard Music Awards 2024: Everything to Know So Far

Swift was up for 17 Billboard Music awards this year, making her the most-nominated woman and second most-nominated artist behind Zach Bryan, who received 21 nods.

Swift’s nominations included Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Hot 100 Songwriter, Top Hot 100 Producer, Top Streaming Songs Artist, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top Song Sales Artist, Top Billboard Global 200 Artist, Top Billboard Global (Excl.

Ahead of the awards show, Swift was tied with Drake for the most Billboard Music Awards wins by any artist, with 39 each. The rapper, 38, was nominated in eight categories this year and faced off against Swift in three: Top Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album.

Swift’s virtual appearance at the Billboard Music Awards comes days after she concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour in Vancouver on Sunday, December 8. The venture kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023, ultimately spanning five continents and grossing more than $2 billion with a total of 149 concerts in front of a combined 10.1 million fans.

During her Friday, December 6, show in Vancouver, Swift reflected on her journey over the past two years.

“I’ve never played more shows on tour or toured longer than I have with the Eras Tour,” she told the audience. “There are so many reasons for that, like, nobody’s backstage saying, ‘You gotta do more shows.’ I decided to make this tour the longest I’ve ever done because you have made this feel like so much more than a concert tour in so many ways.”

She continued, “I’ve been going on tour since I was 15 years old, and this has felt different in every single way. It’s felt like this escape to a planet where nothing but joy and passion and togetherness and camaraderie exists every night coming out to these crowds.”

Swift added that each Eras concert allowed her to “relive [her] favorite memories” from past tours while simultaneously finding a way to “make new” ones.

Earlier this week, Swift shared a series of photos via Instagram from her final shows. “It was rare. I was there. I remember it. ♥,” she captioned her Wednesday, December 11, post, quoting lyrics from her hit song “All Too Well.”

Selena Gomez's Complete Dating History: Justin Bieber and More

12 December 2024 at 04:38

Selena Gomez’s high-profile relationships have made headlines over the years, from her off-and-on romance with Justin Bieber to her brief relationship with The Weeknd.

“I’m the kind of girl that loves tremendously big. I just have always been that girl,” Gomez told Miami’s Power 96.5 FM in May 2017. “I will give my heart and my soul to the person that I love. It’s just how I operate.”

Three years later, Gomez opened up about “the concept of having a normal human relationship” as a celebrity. “If I can be honest, it is just so cliché. Everyone dates everyone,” she told Apple Music’s Beats 1 in January 2020. “It always seems to be within a little bubble and it’s because it’s safe, right? You know, you’re wanting someone to understand what you’re going through. You’re almost wanting a counterpart of creativity as well and it’s, you know, interesting and fun.”

After a series of ups and downs with Bieber and other boyfriends, Gomez embraced time alone, telling The Wall Street Journal in January 2020 that she had “been single for over two years.”

By December 2023, Gomez found love again with Benny Blanco, revealing at the time that the pair began dating six months prior. She announced their engagement in December 2024.

The Disney Channel stars dated in 2008. “We were babies,” she told Capital FM in September 2015. “That, to me, was like puppy love, you know. It was very sweet.” Gomez — who played his love interest in the music video for the Jonas Brothers’ “Burnin’ Up” — and best friend Taylor Swift bonded while they were dating the “Jealous” crooner and his brother Joe Jonas, respectively.

Gomez had a brief romance with the Twilight star in 2009 — before he dated Swift. “Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel,” she explained to Seventeen in 2009. “He would visit her, so we were constantly running into each other in the lobby — and we ended up meeting. We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him and I had paparazzi following me. So we literally just wanted to hang out, go bowling and stuff, and it went a little too far, I think. People were getting a little crazy about us.”

After repeatedly claiming they were more like siblings than lovebirds, Gomez and Bieber confirmed their romance in February 2011. They split in November 2012 before reconnecting in April 2013. The couple dated on and off for the next several years and even dated other people during breaks in their relationship. The musicians reconciled in November 2017 but called it quits for good in March 2018. The “Sorry” singer ultimately married wife Hailey Baldwin in September 2018.
Gomez made headlines in January 2020 when she accused Bieber of “emotional abuse” in their relationship. Her 2020 album, Rare, featured several songs alluding to their breakup, including “Lose You to Love Me.”

The actor and the Wizards of Waverly Place alum were spotted spending time together in Los Angeles in April 2014. The duo were then seen getting cozy in Las Vegas in May 2016. Days later, Bloom’s girlfriend, Katy Perry, called the relationship rumors surrounding the pair a “dumb conspiracy” in a Twitter post, which Gomez retweeted.

The “I Want You to Know” collaborators dated in early 2015. “I adore Zedd a lot and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice,” Gomez admitted on New Zealand’s The Edge Afternoons in June 2015.
The DJ reflected on the high-profile situation in August 2017. “Reporters were calling my parents. People were hacking my friends’ phones. I was pissed, [though] I kind of knew what I was getting myself into,” he told Billboard. “She is one of the most talked-about people in the world, but I had no idea how much that would change my life.”

The Monte Carlo star and the former One Direction member were spotted on multiple dates in December 2015 and were reportedly kissing at Jenna Dewan’s 35th birthday party. The twosome were linked again in late 2019, but Horan claimed in December of that year that he was “very much single.”

Gomez briefly dated Gigi Hadid’s friend from late 2015 to early 2016. “Selena is a real girl with a real heart and real feelings,” the Fyre Festival booker wrote via Instagram in August 2016. “All you superficial who are just unhappy with your love lives, understand that love is real. Although we have ventured on separate paths, at least I know that love exists. I love you, Sel.” The NYU graduate later deleted his comments.

Us reported in March 2016 that Gomez and Puth, duet partners on “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” were hooking up. “It’s not serious, but she’s super into him,” a source told Us at the time.
The “Attention” singer told Billboard in February 2018 that the relationship was “very short-lived, very small, but very impactful.” He elaborated: “It really messed me up. I’m trying to put this the best way possible: It wasn’t like I was the only person on her mind. And I think I knew that going in — what I was getting myself into.”

Gomez and the Grammy winner dated from January to October 2017. An insider told Us in March 2020 that the exes are “cordial” after she shared his music on her Instagram account. According to the source, “She has no negative feelings toward him.”

Us exclusively confirmed in January 2023 that the Golden Globes nominee is dating The Chainsmokers musician. “They aren't trying to hide their romance by sneaking around at members only clubs,” the insider said, noting that the pair “are very casual and low-key” when going on dates.
“They go bowling and to the movies,” the source added. “They are so affectionate and having a lot of fun together, Selena can hardly keep her hands off him.”

The "Sober" singer and the former One Direction member made headlines in March 2023 when they were spotted spending time together in New York City and sharing a kiss, per Entertainment Tonight.
“Zayn has known Selena for years and he’s definitely into her,” an insider exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “He’s always admired her and thinks she’s an incredible person, inside and out.” However, the twosome weren't “super serious” or exclusive just yet.
“She’s free to see other people,” the source said. “However, Zayn would love to continue to see Selena and see where things go.”

Gomez sparked dating rumors with the music producer in December 2023 after she shared a pic of herself resting her head on a man’s chest via her Instagram Story. She followed up the photo by writing, “Just a reminder of how much I appreciate and love each and everyone [sic] of you.”
She hinted that Blanco was the identity of her mystery man by commenting, “Facts,” on a post speculating the two were dating. Gomez later confirmed that the twosome had been together for six months. 
Blanco popped the question in December 2024. "Forever begins now," Gomez gushed via Instagram while announcing the couple's engagement.

Selena Gomez and her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, announced their engagement after more than one year of dating.

“Forever begins now,” Gomez, 32, captioned an Instagram post on Wednesday, December 11, that showed off her engagement ring. Blanco, 36, celebrated the milestone moment, writing in the comments section, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”

The couple collaborated together on a handful of songs — including her 2015 hit “Same Old Love” — before becoming romantically involved in 2023. After sparking dating rumors with Blanco, Gomez confirmed their relationship in December 2023, revealing that they had been together for “six months.”

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. “He [has] been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end. … He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Relationship Timeline

The following month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Gomez had “never been with anyone like” Blanco.

“She loves how Benny treats her: he’s so kind and thoughtful,” the insider said in January. “It’s been a very long time since friends saw Selena this happy. She’s positively glowing.”

In February, Gomez offered a rare insight into her dynamic with Blanco. “Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she explained in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in.”

She added: “But I’d have to say, overall, it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”

As for Blanco, he expressed his enthusiasm over his romance with Gomez in May. “I wake up every day and I look in the mirror, and I’m like, ‘How did this happen?’” he quipped on Today With Hoda and Jenna at the time. “But until anyone figures it out, weeeee!”

Later that month, sources divulged how serious Gomez and Blanco had become.

“He makes Selena laugh,” one insider told Us in May. “He makes her feel secure and happy. They both think they’ve found the person they’ll be with forever.”

A second source, meanwhile, emphasized that Gomez and Blanco were in it for the long haul. “She definitely sees this relationship going the distance,” the insider noted. “They’ve talked about marriage and having children and are very much on the same page.”

“Selena has found the love of her life,” the second source added. “She’s ready to settle down.”

Prior to her engagement to Blanco, Gomez dated Justin Bieber on and off from 2010 to 2018 and The Weeknd in 2017.

Five artists competed to win season 26 of The Voice, but only one walked away with the victory.

Sofronio Vasquez was crowned the champion during the Tuesday, December 10, finale. After Jeremy Beloate, Danny Joseph and Syndey Sterlace were revealed as the bottom three, Vasquez was announced as the winner with Shye coming in as runner up. Both of the final two finalists hailed from coach Michael Bublé’s team, marking his first win on the NBC series.

“My Filipino brother, you are the hope of so many people. … It has been such an unbelievable journey to be here with you,” Bublé told Vasquez before host Carson Daly announced him as the winner.

The live episode also featured performances by former coaches Kelly Clarkson and Dan + Shay as well as Snoop Dogg and Sting, Riley Green and Ella Langley, Tears for Fears, Myles Smith and more.

'The Voice' Winners Through the Years: Where Are They Now?

Ahead of the two-night finale, the first part of which aired on Monday, December 9, the top five artists were announced, with each of the coaches — Reba McEntire, Snoop, Gwen Stefani and Bublé — seeing contestants from their team advance. Joseph represented Team Reba, Beloate competed on behalf of Team Snoop and Sterlace kept Team Gwen’s hopes alive. Meanwhile, Team Bublé had two members make it to the finale: Vasquez and Shye.

During the December 3 semifinals episode, viewers voted to keep Sofronio, Sydney, Jeremy and Shye in the competition. Danny then performed The Animals’ “House of the Rising Sun” in the Wildcard Instant Save round, beating out Team Snoop’s Christina Eagle, Team Reba’s Adam Bohanan and Team Gwen’s Jan Dan to advance to the finale.

Season 26 marked the arrival of new coaches Snoop, 53, and Bublé, 49. McEntire, 69, returned after making her coaching debut during season 24 in 2023, while Stefani, 55, has appeared on a total of eight seasons since 2014.

Stefani and McEntire both have one previous win under their belts, with Carter Rubin on season 19 in 2020 and Asher HaVon on season 25 in May, respectively. Rubin and HaVon each made history with their victories, as Rubin became the youngest male winner ever at age 15 and HaVon was the first openly LGBTQ contestant to be named the show’s champion.

While season 26 has just ended, fans already know that The Voice is in for some major changes during season 27, which is set to premiere in February 2025. Bublé is the only coach from this season who will return for the next. Past viewer favorites John Legend and Adam Levine will be back, though. Legend, 45, previously appeared on nine seasons from 2019 to 2024; Levine, 45, was an original judge who exited the show in 2019 after 16 seasons. Kelsea Ballerini will round out the lineup of coaches as she makes her debut in the role.

Jason Kelce Investigation Results Revealed After Penn State Phone Incident

10 December 2024 at 07:46

The results of a Penn State University police investigation into an altercation between Jason Kelce and a football fan have been revealed.

A spokeswoman for Penn State University Police told TMZ Sports on Tuesday, December 10 that the case has been closed: “The individual in the video footage circulating on social media has not been identified, and no one has come forward to University Police with a related complaint about damage to personal property.”

Jason, 37, made headlines on November 2 when a heckler approached him at the Penn State vs. Ohio State football game in Pennsylvania and made a homophobic comment about his brother, Travis Kelce, amid the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

“Hey, Kelce. How does it feel your brother’s a f— dating Taylor Swift?” the person said.

Jason subsequently grabbed the heckler’s phone, smashed it on the ground and responded, “Who’s the f— now?”

Us Weekly later confirmed that Penn State University Police were investigating the incident.

Two days after the altercation, Jason broke his silence during the November 4 episode of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.

“I’m not happy with anything that took place. I’m not proud of it,” he said at the time. “Within a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate and I don’t think that’s a productive thing. I don’t think it leads to discourse.”

He added, “In that moment I fell down to a level that I shouldn’t have. Bottom line is, I try to live my life by the golden rules. That’s what I’ve always been taught. I try to treat people with decency and respect. I’m going to keep doing that moving forward.”

Jason went into more detail during the November 6 episode of his and Travis’ “New Heights” podcast.

“I’m just gonna address it because I feel like it needs one more time and then hopefully we can stop talking about this really stupid situation that occurred,” he began. “I’m not happy about the situation. Me reacting gave him the time of day and it also gave the situation notoriety. That’s what I regret. It didn’t deserve attention, it’s really stupid. And if I just keep walking it’s a nothing burger, nobody sees it. Now it’s out there and it just perpetuates more hate.”

Taylor Swift's Best Moments With Travis Kelce's Family

He continued, “The thing that I regret the most is saying that word, to be honest with you, and the word he used is just f—ing ridiculous. And it takes it to another level. It’s just off the wall, f—ing over the line. It’s dehumanizing and it got under my skin and it elicited a reaction. In the heat of the moment, I thought, ‘Hey, what can I say back to him? I’m gonna throw this s— right back into his face. F— him.’ I know now that I shouldn’t have done that because now there’s a video out there with me saying that word, him saying that word, and it’s not good for anybody.”

Jason noted that his biggest “regret” about the ordeal “is that now there’s a video that is very hateful that is now online that has been seen by millions of people,” concluding, “I share fault in perpetuating it and having that out there.”

Travis, meanwhile, applauded his brother for taking accountability for the incident. “The real situation is you had some f—ing clown come up to you and talk about your family, and you reacted in a way that was defending your family,” he said on the podcast. “You might have used some words that you regret using, and that’s a situation that you just gotta kind of learn from and own. And I think you owning it and you speaking about it shows how sincere you are to a lot of people in this world.”

Hotel Workers to Be Interrogated, Could Be Charged in Liam Payne Death

10 December 2024 at 07:01

The continued investigation into Liam Payne’s death could result in more charges following a previous indictment of three individuals.

Court documents obtained by Rolling Stone on Tuesday, December 10 reveal that a judge is weighing charges against two employees at the CasaSur Palermo hotel — including the receptionist who called 911 and hotel manager.

“Since there is sufficient reason to suspect that they have participated in the investigated act, we ask that the following people give a statement,” the court docs read, noting that the two individuals will be notified of the accusation. Rolling Stone reported that the documents do not list what they will be charged with.

The publication also reported that the receptionist — who made two 911 calls the morning Payne died — is still working at the hotel. Rolling Stone also shared details from the 911 call, telling dispatchers that a guest had “too many drugs and alcohol” and was “trashing the entire room.”

There was also apparently a second 911 call made in which the receptionist stated that one guest’s life “may be in danger.”

“Are you sending the police as well, or not?” he asked in the second call, per Rolling Stone, asking the dispatcher to “just” send the SAME, which is Argentina’s emergency medical services.

Us Weekly previously confirmed that Payne died on October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. He was 31.

Buenos Aires emergency services chief Alberto Crescenti said at the time that Payne suffered “serious injuries” that first responders were unable to treat by the time they arrived on the scene at CasaSur Palermo Hotel.

Payne’s preliminary autopsy report stated that he died from multiple injuries involving “internal and external hemorrhage” and suffered “multiple traumas” that contributed to his death.

ABC News later reported that a partial autopsy revealed Payne had “pink cocaine” — a recreational drug that typically mixes methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA — as well as cocaine, benzodiazepine and crack in his system at the time of his death.

The prosecutor’s office announced on November 7 that three individuals were charged with abandonment leading to death and the supply and facilitation of narcotics in connection to Payne’s passing.

Prosecutor Andrés Esteban Madrea requested the arrests of the three people in a 180-page indictment submitted by Judge Laura Graciela Bruniard.

“The first defendant, a companion of the artist during his stay in Buenos Aires, has been charged with abandonment leading to death — a crime under Article 106 of the Criminal Code, punishable by five to 15 years in prison — in conjunction with the supply and facilitation of narcotics (Article 5, Section E of the Narcotics Law No. 23.737),” the statement read.

The statement continued, “The second defendant, a hotel employee, is charged with providing Payne cocaine on two occasions while he stayed at the hotel, and the third defendant, also a narcotics supplier, is charged with two additional confirmed instances of cocaine supply on October 14. Both are charged with narcotics supply (Article 5, Section E of Law No. 23.737).”

The forensic team also ruled out “self-harm or third-party involvement” in connection with Payne’s death, noting that his “lack of defensive posture upon impact suggests [he] may have fallen in a semi- or fully unconscious state.”

In the wake of the indictment, Payne’s friend Rogelio “Roger” Nores denied being involved in the singer’s death.

“I never abandoned Liam. I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened,” Nores told the Daily Mail in a November 7 statement. “There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left. I could have never imagined something like this would happen.”

Nores added that he was “heartbroken” by the tragedy and has been “missing my friend every day.”

Braian Nahuel Paiz, a suspect whom Payne met at the restaurant where Paiz works as a waiter, also denied supplying drugs to Payne. Paiz told Argentina’s Telefe Noticias in a November 9 interview that Payne “was already under the effects of drugs” at the restaurant. The two swapped information and later met up at Payne’s hotel, with Paiz claiming, “We took drugs together, but I never took drugs to him or accepted any money.”

‘Reba’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

9 December 2024 at 08:30

Reba McEntire proved she is more than just a country superstar when she led her own TV show — appropriately called Reba.

The sitcom ran for six seasons from October 2001 to February 2007. McEntire starred as a single mother raising her three children — played by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Scarlett Pomers and Mitch Holleman — alongside her ex-husband (Christopher Rich) and his new wife (Melissa Peterman).

In the years since the series concluded, the cast has remained close. Swisher revealed in June 2019 that her daughters consider McEntire family. “She’s very much Auntie Reba,” the Sweet Magnolias star exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “She spoils quite a bit. She doesn’t babysit because when I see her, I want to be with her.”

Swisher also teased a potential Reba revival at the time. “I definitely think it’s possible and I think everybody would love to,” she said. “There is so much love there and such fond memories of our time on the show. I feel like we kind of ended before we really wanted to and I think there is a lot of goodwill in that world and I know everybody would be supportive of it.”

Not only would the cast be on board, but there have already been discussions. “I know there has definitely been a lot of talk about it,” she divulged.

Golden Globes 2025 Nominations See the Complete List 0072

The list of nominees for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards proves that the stars will be shining bright at the 82nd annual ceremony.

Mindy Kaling and Morris Chestnut announced the nominations — which honor accomplishments in both film and television — on Monday, December 9.

Nikki Glaser is set to host the awards show for the first time on Sunday, January 5. The comedian, 40, noted in an August press release that it was “an exciting yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars.”

“Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina [Fey], Amy [Poehler] or Ricky [Gervais] have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear,” she continued. “I just hope to continue in that time-honored tradition (that might also get me canceled). This is truly a dream job. Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty for every TV show and movie I’ve binged over the past year. It was all worth it.”

Golden Globes' Most Memorable Moments

The Golden Globes, which first took place in 1944, have undergone several changes in recent years. The 2022 ceremony was not televised after stars boycotted due to a 2021 Los Angeles Times report that revealed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — the organization of journalists that was responsible for awarding the Golden Globes at the time — had no Black members.

Although the HFPA vowed to diversify their membership and the Golden Globes returned to NBC with A-listers in attendance in 2023, the HFPA ultimately dissolved the following year, with Dick Clark Productions acquiring the Golden Globes and CBS signing a deal to air the awards show moving forward.

Taylor Swift Has 1 Last Surprise at Her Final ‘Eras Tour’ Concert

8 December 2024 at 23:45

Taylor Swift had a few more tricks up her sleeve during the final performance of her Eras Tour.

The pop star, 34, took the stage at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday, December 8, which marked her last show of the tour. In a poignant moment, Swift performed a three-way mash-up for Sunday’s surprise song, giving lucky fans a rendition of “Long Live” mixed with “New Year’s Day” and The Tortured Poets Department track “The Manuscript.”

As one fan pointed out via X, her final surprise song on the Eras Tour was rather fitting: “First surprise song: tim mcgraw, last surprise song: the manuscript, the first and last song of her discography.”

Swift also paid homage to her long-running tour by changing the lyrics of “Long Live” from, “It was the end of a decade,” to, “It was the end of an era / But the start of an age.”

Closing out the show, Swift thanked fans for “being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my life to date — my beloved Eras Tour.” The pop star then segued into one last song, “Karma,” lifted from 2022’s Midnights, and as she has done throughout the tour, gave a little shout-out to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, by singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.”

Swift kicked off the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023, performing throughout the United States until August 2023. The singer then embarked on the international leg of the tour, making stops in South America, Asia, Australia and Europe from November 2023 to this August. In October, Swift returned to North America for a handful of final shows in the U.S. and Canada.

The Most Viral Moments From Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' So Far

In total, Swift performed 149 sold-out concerts across five continents over the course of nearly two years, making the Eras Tour the highest-grossing tour of all time.

Swift previously opened up to TIME in December 2023 about her mission to “superserve the fans” with her biggest tour ever. (The three-and-a-half hour concert took attendees through her musical eras via a massive 45-song setlist which, after the April release of The Tortured Poets Department, included hits from her latest album and a cameo from her NFL star boyfriend.)

“They had to work really hard to get the tickets,” she explained at the time. “I wanted to play a show that was longer than they ever thought it would be because that makes me feel good leaving the stadium.”

Swift gushed that the Eras Tour made her “the most fulfilled I’ve ever felt” in my life.

“I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable or stressed,” she added. “That’s part of my identity as a human being now. If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure.”

In June, Swift confirmed that the tour would come to an end in December, calling the venture “the most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life.”

Every Time Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ Became the ‘Errors Tour’

“I think that this tour has really become my entire life,” she continued. “It’s taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they were anymore. All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mash-ups and think about what you might want to hear.”

Amid her record-breaking tour, Swift achieved a bevy of professional accomplishments, including the chart-topping releases of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department — which inspired her to revamp her entire show to include the new music — and her rerecordings of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version). Additionally, she ensured that the tour will live on for years to come through her concert film.

Swift has also dealt with several changes in her personal life since the Eras Tour began, with the most notable being her relationship with Kelce, 35, which began after he attended one of her concerts in the summer of 2023.

Lindsay Hubbard Shares More Photos of Daughter Gemma 

18 December 2024 at 09:53

Summer House star Lindsay Hubbard has welcomed her first baby, a daughter.

“She’s here!! 🎀 Gemma Britt Kufe 🤍,” Hubbard, 38, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 8, alongside a photo of her and boyfriend Turner Kufe holding on to their infant’s hands.

Hubbard announced in July that she and Kufe — whose identity she did not publicly reveal at the time — were expecting.

“Trigger Warning: This post contains more fireworks than the 4th of July! WE’RE PREGNANT!!!!! 💥💥💥,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I truly believe the universe has a bigger plan and this is it! 💫 The second I had a feeling, I took a @clearblue Early Digital Pregnancy Test and getting a clear result, in words, made the next steps sooo much easier. My boyfriend and I are beyond excited to welcome our little #HubbCub this Holiday season 2024!!”

In an interview with People that followed, Hubbard explained the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.

“It was a surprise and a shock at first because we were not trying or even planning, but we had some honest conversations and it just felt so right for both of us,” she told the outlet, adding that the couple had only been together for a few months when she took a pregnancy test.

“It immediately and unmistakably displayed with words ‘You are pregnant’ and as shocking as that was, having a really clear result just helped alleviate the unknown,” she continued. “Those next steps are a little scary, but at least they’re easier just knowing one way or another what you’re working with.”

Hubbard and her boyfriend — who is a doctor working in biotech investing — began dating in January. They went out a few times in 2020, but their romance fizzled out because he was reluctant to settle down. He reached back out to her in December 2023 after news broke of her split from ex-fiancé Carl Radke. (Us Weekly confirmed in August 2023 that Radke called off their engagement just three months before their wedding.)

“We have a very loving, caring and healthy relationship. I finally feel like I met my match with him,” she said of her beau. “He’s just so excited to be a dad and proud to be having a child with me.”

Hubbard acknowledged that the situation could be difficult but emphasized she and her boyfriend were already navigating it well. “It just means the world to have someone like him by my side,” she gushed. “And yes, it is a lot of pressure on a new relationship, but I think because he’s the right man because we are so bonded and connected and communicate very effectively with each other that it hasn’t felt like work.”

Hubbard, who found out about her pregnancy in early April, also addressed Radke’s potential reaction to the news.

“I’m sure he’ll find out when the rest of the world finds out, but I’m not calling him up and having a conversation with him,” she told People.

“That relationship is in my past, and I can’t really focus on my past anymore because I’m so focused on my present and my future,” she added. “And to be honest, his emotions are no longer my responsibility. It’s just not my problem anymore.”

Taylor Swift Says She Had 1 'Last Opportunity' to Duet With Gracie Abrams

It’s the beginning of the end for the Eras Tour, as Taylor Swift performed the first two of her final concerts in Vancouver, Canada.

The pop star, 34, took the stage at BC Place on Friday, December 6, and again on Saturday, December 7, before her last-ever Eras Tour show on Sunday, December 8. While most of Saturday’s shows (including outfits) were repeated from the night before, Swift did have one new surprise up her sleeve.

“Tonight is the last opportunity Gracie [Abrams] and I have to perform together on this tour,” Swift said during her acoustic section on Saturday.

The two singers then performed Swift’s “Last Kiss” and Abrams’ “I Love You, I’m Sorry.” (They previously duetted during previous Eras shows in Cincinnati, London and Toronto, performing a mashup of their song “Us” off Abrams’ The Secret of Us album and Swift’s 1989 hit “Out of the Woods.”)

The Most Viral Moments From Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' So Far

Swift has been on the Eras Tour since March 2023, when she kicked off the venture in Glendale, Arizona. When the tour concludes, she will have performed a total of 149 shows across 50 cities and five continents.

During her previous stop in Toronto, Swift became emotional on stage while receiving a standing ovation after “Champagne Problems.” She expressed her gratitude for her fans and the team that has supported her throughout the Eras Tour.

“We’re at the very end of this tour, so you doing that, you have no idea how much it means to me and to my band and to my crew and everybody who’s put so much of this into this tour,” she told the audience while wiping away tears and getting choked up. “I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore. I’m just having a bit of a moment. I’m sorry. It’s not even the last show!”

She continued: “My band, my crew [and] all my fellow performers, we have put so much of our lives into this, and you put so much of your lives into being with us tonight and to [be] giving us that moment that we will never forget. We have loved our time in Toronto; it’s been so amazing. I love you, guys, thank you so much for that.”

With the nearly two-year tour winding down, Swift has reportedly already made plans for her next era. According to a source who spoke exclusively to Us Weekly earlier this week, she hopes to hit the road again in 2026 for a scaled-back tour.

“She had such a great experience on Eras. She really wants to do it again,” the source revealed. “She loves being with all her fans; it inspires her.”

However, Swift’s schedule could change depending on her personal life. (She has been dating Travis Kelce since the summer of 2023, and fans have been eagerly awaiting news of their next steps.)

“Taylor does feel like Travis is The One, but jumping in is not her style,” the source said of a potential engagement for the couple. “That’s just not how she does [things]. Marriage is a big deal, and she wants [it to be] forever.”

A second insider told Us that while Swift and Kelce, 35, would both “love to be engaged,” they “aren’t rushing it.”

In the immediate aftermath of the tour’s conclusion, Swift “plans to stay in and hibernate [with Travis] for a while,” the insider shared, noting that they “want to do ‘normal things’ as a couple.”

“Taylor’s exhausted,” the insider added. “She’s excited for some relaxation and downtime.”

King Charles, Queen Camilla Are All Smiles in Holiday Card Amid Health Woes

8 December 2024 at 06:29

King Charles III and Queen Camilla put on brave faces for their 2024 holiday card despite their difficult year.

The duo shared their card on the royal family’s social media accounts Sunday, December 8, writing, “Christmas is coming… 🎄✨Their Majesties are pleased to share this year’s Christmas card, taken by Millie Pilkington in the Gardens of Buckingham Palace in April 2024.”

In the photo, Charles, 76, wears a gray suit and blue tie while Camilla, 77, coordinates in a blue dress. The card reads, “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.”

The royal couple, who have been married since April 2005, have dealt with a barrage of medical issues this year. The ordeal began when Charles underwent a “corrective procedure” for a benign prostate enlargement in January. The following month, Buckingham Palace announced that “a separate issue of concern was noted” during the king’s hospitalization and “subsequent diagnostic tests … identified a form of cancer.”

Although the palace did not provide specifics on the type or stage of cancer, the statement confirmed that Charles had “commenced a schedule of regular treatments” and he would be postponing his “public-facing duties” for the time being.

In March, Charles returned to some of his royal duties while continuing to receive cancer treatments. He later resumed his public role in April.

Royal expert Rebecca English reported to the Daily Mail in October that Charles was putting his cancer treatments on “pause” to travel to Australia and Samoa later that month. Doctors were reportedly “happy” to briefly halt the treatments for the sake of the trip, with English noting that they would resume upon his return to the U.K. from the nine-day tour.

Two months earlier, Charles shared a minor update on his progress, saying during an August appearance in Southport, England, that he was “not too bad.”

King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s Relationship Timeline

As Charles battled cancer, Camilla faced her own health setback in November. “Her Majesty The Queen is currently unwell with a chest infection, for which her doctors have advised a short period of rest,” Buckingham Palace said in a November 5 statement to the BBC, adding that Camilla needed to withdraw from some previously scheduled engagements as a result of her diagnosis.

Although Camilla was expected to recover quickly, she was ultimately forced to cancel additional appearances at Remembrance Day and the London premiere of Gladiator II later that month. She returned to some of her royal duties on November 12, but Buckingham Palace later confirmed that she had been suffering from pneumonia.

As a result, Camilla was unable to attend the outdoor portions of a two-day state visit to the U.K. from the emir of Qatar. However, she was on hand for an indoor luncheon on December 3, where she told guests that she contracted pneumonia after her and Charles’ trip to Australia and Samoa but avoided hospitalization while ill.
