Shopping for jeans can be straight-up exhausting. One pair fits your hips but has gaps at the waist. Another looks good from the front but does nothing for your butt. And comfort? Forget it. Finding a flattering, actually wearable pair starts to feel impossible.
But as someone who shops for a living, I can confirm: it’s not you, it’s the jeans. And more importantly, you need to know where to look. Good American solves the struggle by offering jeans made for real bodies that do what they say they will. Right now, the brand’s Power Stretch Pull-On Flare Jeans are 30% off for Memorial Day, and they’re the kind of flattering pair that’ll make you forget everything you’ve suffered through before.
These aren’t your typical flares. With no buttons, no zippers and no stiff waistband, the Power Stretch Pull-On style is a dream! They feature a high-rise fit, flared legs, tummy-smoothing tech and a gap-proof waistband — all wrapped up in sculpting, curve-hugging stretch denim. It’s the kind of no-fuss, put-on-and-go jeans that make you feel like you have your life together.
One shopper said they waited two years before finally giving these jeans a try and now they’re a customer for life. The fit felt so tailored, that they immediately bought a second pair. Another reviewer mentioned they’ve struggled for years to find a good pair of flares with a long enough inseam and these finally delivered. “I can even wear heels with them,” they wrote. “Plus, the stretchy waistband doesn’t dig in when I’m bloated.”
So if you’re looking for the perfect pair of jean, this might be your moment. Just don’t be surprised if you wear them three days in a row.
Truth is a slippery concept in Fielder’s experimental TV show, writes Micha Frazer-Carroll. But whether what we are seeing on screen is real or not, the series makes for a bizarre and fascinating critique of so-called ‘reality television’
The mother and daughter make a marvellous pair on stage in ‘Mrs Warren’s Profession’. Claire Allfree sits down with the duo to talk Academy Awards, the Harry Potter reboot, and what younger actors can learn from the late Queen’s work ethic
Jussie Smollett is maintaining his innocence while settling his civil lawsuit stemming from his alleged 2019 attack hoax.
“Over six years ago, after it was reported I had been jumped, City Officials in Chicago set out to convince the public that I willfully set an assault against myself. This false narrative has left a stain on my character that will not soon disappear,” Smollett, 42, wrote in a statement shared via Instagram on Friday, May 23. “These officials wanted my money and wanted my confession for something I did not do. Today, it should be clear…They have received neither.”
He continued, “The decision to settle the civil lawsuit was not the most difficult one to make. After repeatedly refusing to pay the City, I was presented with an opportunity to make a charitable donation in exchange for the case being dismissed. Despite what happened there politically, Chicago was my home for over 5 years and the people became my family. Therefore, making a donation to benefit Chicago communities that are too often neglected by those in power will always be something I support.”
The Empire star went on to reveal that he had made a $50,000 donation to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts, a foundation that supports underprivileged youth.
“This organization was my choosing and I’m comforted that there will be at least one winner from this experience,” he continued in the statement. Smollett also shared that he donated an additional $10,000 to the Chicago Torture Justice Center “who provides resources to communities healing from the violence of the Chicago Police Department.”
The Chicago Torture Justice Center confirmed the actor’s donation in an Instagram post on Friday.
“This generous donation from Mr. Smollett is so meaningful and deeply impactful as we celebrate and honor the 10th anniversary of the historic Reparations Ordinance in Chicago,” the post read in part. “This 10th anniversary offers us a moment of reflection on what is possible when we stand together and imagine a better future for our communities. A world that values healing and repair, instead of punishment and incarceration.”
The post concluded, “Again, we are so grateful to Mr. Smollett and every donor who supports this necessary work.”
Smollett reported that he had been a victim of an alleged hate crime in January 2019, claiming that two men confronted him with racial and homophobic slurs before wrapping a rope around his neck and pouring bleach on him.
Police and city officials, however, claimed the actor was behind the hoax hate crime, going on to accuse him of submitting a false police report and claiming he knew his attackers, brothers Olabingo and Abimbola Osundairo, who alleged they were paid by Smollett to stage the attack. The city sued the actor for $130,000 related to the police investigation into the alleged attack. Smolett denied the claims and countersued.
Smollett was found guilty on five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December 2021 and sentenced to 150 days in jail and 30 months probation in March 2022. Two years later, in November 2024, the Illinois Supreme Court overturned the conviction, citing prosecutorial issues.
In his Saturday statement, Smollett maintained his innocence, writing that while he “was exonerated by the Illinois Supreme Court in a[n] unanimous decision and the civil case will now be dismissed, I’m aware that it will not change everyone’s mind about me or the attack I experienced.”
“However, despite arduous and expensive attempts to punish me, I am innocent in the eyes of God and our criminal justice system,” the statement continued. “What I have to do now is move forward. I will continue creating my art, fighting passionately for causes I hold dear and defending my integrity and family name with truth.”
He concluded by thanking his supporters over the years, saying that their “prayers and belief in me mean more than words can properly express.”
Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has no problem flying commercial.
According to a woman by the name of @ninavidavlogs on TikTok, Meghan recently boarded an American Airlines flight she was working on and left the crew a handwritten letter thanking them for their attention and service.
The Duchess is “so beautiful in person,” Nina said in the video, shared on Thursday, May 22. “She was so sweet. She wrote us a little handwritten note back. So we wrote her note that said, ‘It’s a pleasure of serving you. We love you real bad.’”
“And she wrote this note back that says, ‘Dear AA Girlies, thank you for the love, hospitality, and handwritten note. You know me well,’” the woman continued.
She went on to add that the Duchess of Sussex ended her personalized note with the words: “Forever Meghan.”
“You know, I can barely read this cursive, but look at this handwriting: it’s giving rich. It’s giving expensive. It’s giving princess,” she explained. “She also said she loved my nails and the captain on my last flight said they were intense. So, sir, it doesn’t matter what you think. The Queen says she likes them.”
In addition to flying among the common folk, Meghan, 43, has been promoting her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast. She was joined on the Tuesday, Mat 20, episode of her the podcast by her former stylist-turned-CEO of hair and beauty brand Kitsch, Cassandra Morales Thurswell. During the episode, the two reminisced about the former actress’ past career.
“I said, ‘Cassie, can you help make this stylish and give me a vibe?’ To which you said, ‘Yes,’” Meghan recalled of her time going to auditions for various roles. Thurswell remembered, “I had no idea what I was doing, but I really enjoyed our time together — it was so fun.”
“This is pre-Suits for me,” Meghan explained. “This is really early days when I was auditioning. And I just remember literally going through things, and you think, ‘OK, here are a couple staples that you need.’ This is important because it speaks to … you talk about not having a strategy, but always hustling. And being able to say, ‘OK, well, I don’t necessarily know how to do this, but I’m gonna figure out a way to be good at it.’”
One of Thurswell’s choices even helped Meghan out. “You called me and said, ‘I just found the best pair of black patent leather Louboutin wedge flats and they are $200,’” Meghan shared. “I remember going, ‘I cannot,’ and you were like, ‘I promise you, you are going to wear them.’ And of course, I wore those shoes until the red wore out. I wore those shoes on my final audition for Suits when I booked the part.”

After finding love and getting married during season 3, Colleen Reed and Matt Boltonannounced their breakup in May 2025 after four years together.
“We’ve been separated for some time now and have [done] our best to work through everything privately and with care,” Colleen and Matt wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “This was an incredibly difficult decision, not one we made lightly. It came with a lot of thought and it’s been an emotional process for both of us.”
Weeks earlier, Colleen exclusively told Us Weekly that she and Matt dealt with “so many challenges” in their marriage.
“You have your own everyday challenges that you go through in a relationship and a marriage,” Colleen told Us in April 2025. “With everything, it’s definitely a pressure cooker, so you just have to be strong with yourself and with your relationship.”
Colleen and Matt are not the only Love Is Blind couple whose relationship fell apart after leaving both the pod experiment and the reunion hand-in-hand. Keep scrolling for more:
Ashley and Tyler got married during season 7 after overcoming his secret confession that he fathered three children via sperm donation. She announced their separation in January 2025, filing for divorce the following May.
“He should have never went on the show,” Ashley claimed of her now-ex on the “What’s the Reality?” podcast in May 2025, alleging that Tyler “presented” himself as being ready to tie the knot when the opposite was seemingly true. “This was a mind[f***] for me, big time, trying to rationalize how he slipped through the cracks. He presented himself as that man during filming, to the point that everybody loved him. He’s very charismatic … [and] he seemed like he was ready for an honest marriage.”
Tyler, meanwhile, said in a social media statement that he respected “Ashley’s decision” to end their marriage.
“I respect Ashley’s decision to move forward in a way that prioritizes her peace and happiness,” he wrote. “Ashley is an incredible woman, and I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for the love and support she has given me. I ask for kindness and understanding as we both move forward separately, focusing on healing and growth.”
In their May 2025 statement, the ballet dancer and Matt reflected on the “emotional process” of breaking up.
“We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we’ve shared,” the statement read. “There’s not one thing we would change and we continue to have deep respect and care for one another. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We kindly ask for compassion as we navigate this transition."
After appearing on season 2, Danielle filed for divorce in August 2022, just two months after the pair celebrated their first wedding anniversary. She later cited that they had personality “incompatibilities.” Months later, Nick told Us that they were no longer in touch.
“We’re still going through it,” Nick told Us in October 2022. “I’m doing OK. I’m not gonna lie and say, ‘Oh, it’s easy,’ or, ‘I’m doing great,’ but I’m doing OK. Losing a relationship that was so meaningful and with someone that you deeply love and care for is never gonna be easy.”
He added, “For my own mental health and healing, I had to create a boundary with her that I’m not engaging anymore. I’m choosing to leave the past behind me and focus on all the stuff I have going on. I don’t wanna live in the past. I don’t want to be in any kind of position where I’m having to defend myself.”
They reunited the next year for an episode of Nick’s “Eyes Wide Open” podcast, demonstrating that they can now be cordial.
Jarrette and Iyanna also broke up in August 2022 after appearing on season 2 of Love Is Blind.
“Divorce really is like a grief and as much as people laugh at how long we were married, I think my expectations made it real. My hope made it real, my effort made it real, my tears made it real,” Iyanna captioned a TikTok video in November 2022, sharing footage of herself in tears after finalizing their divorce. “So, I’m crying for the girl that I was at the beginning of this marriage, when I was so hopeful and had less baggage and I was optimistic and I was healed. I’m crying for that marriage that I thought could work.”
She further claimed that “s*** hit the wall” after the cameras cut.
While SK turned Raven down at the altar during season 3, they did get back together. After a few months of dating long distance while SK was in graduate school, they broke up when Raven claimed that her then-boyfriend had been unfaithful.
“There were definitely a lot of moments when I had a very unsettled feeling,” Raven told Us in February 2023. “I don’t know if necessarily they were red flags, but I was ignoring things that I shouldn’t have. I was like, ‘Hmm, something isn’t right here.’ And instead of using my voice and communicating with my partner, I just kind of was like, ‘Oh, I don’t wanna stir up any conflict.’ In the end, it really didn’t serve me. So now I know, like, I need to listen to myself.”
SK, meanwhile, denied that he cheated on Raven and stressed that he hooked up with another woman after he split from the fitness trainer.
After Jackie called off her season 4 engagement to Marshall Glaze, she started seeing fellow contestant Josh. After a year of dating, they broke up due to unknown circumstances.
"I’m still sick about it. I love that man,” Jackie said during a September 2023 TikTok livestream. “I was like, ‘Damn, I had all these life plans with you and then you just don’t even care.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s crazy.’ … I tried doing everything I could and what’s crazy is looking back on these messages I look like a begging a** bitch and I never beg no one to be with me.”
After a pod love triangle with Sarah Ann and Laura Dadisman, Jeramey opted to propose to Laura sight unseen during season 6. Their engagement fizzled before their would-be wedding day after she claimed that Jeramey spent all night at Sarah Ann’s house. He denied the claims, but later did start dating Sarah Ann. They broke up a year later.
“This is in no way one person’s fault. It’s mutual in the aspect that we both contributed to the issues in our relationship,” she said in a September 2024 Instagram video. “We go about things so differently and it’s wild because I never really realized those things until after we were faced with so much adversity and all of the hate came in.”
She continued, "I had someone ask if it ended amicably, and no it wasn’t, if you want me to be blatantly honest. It was ugly [and] it ended really ugly. It’s important to note that Jeramey and I fought really hard for our relationship. We both wanted it to work.”
Katie Couric understands the pain that Today cohost Sheinelle Jones is enduring following the death of her husband, Uche Ojeh.
“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our dear friend and Today cohost Sheinelle Jones has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” Savannah Guthrieannounced on the show on May 23. “There are no words for the pain that we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him.” (The couple shared son Kayin, 15, and twins Clara and Uche, 12.)
Couric, who cohosted Today from 1991 to 2006, also lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, to cancer in the late 1990s. (Couric and Mohahan married in 1989 and went on to welcome two daughters, Carrie and Ellie, before his death at the age of 42.)
“I did everything I could to keep Jay alive,” Couric wrote in her memoir Going There. “Looking back, I wish I had done a better job helping him die.”
In the aftermath of Jones’ loss and as Couric and more current and former Today hosts and anchors give their heartfelt well wishes and support, here’s a look back at Couric’s own family tragedy and how she found a way to turn her pain into power.
Her first husband Jay Monahan was diagnosed in 1997

Monahan was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in April 1997. Couric opened up about the months that followed in an essay for Option B, an organization that provides practical support for people who have suffered a loss, in November 2018.
“Nearly twenty years later, when I think of that Thanksgiving, it makes me cry. My healthy, handsome, athletic husband—the college football and lacrosse player—had become thin and gaunt, but was still impeccably dressed, with a tweed sports coat beneath a quilted Barbour jacket and brown leather lace-up shoes,” Couric wrote at the time.

In an interview with Peoplepublished in 2021, Couric looked back on her first husband’s bravery as he faced the outcome of his diagnosis head-on.
“I was so worried about letting go of hope, because I didn’t want Jay to spend whatever time he had left just waiting to die,” she said. “I think it takes extraordinary courage to be able to face death, and I think I was too scared, honestly.”

Couric established the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance in 2000, two years after Monahan’s death. The organization has raised at least $800 million for cancer research since it was founded.
As a host on the Today show, Couric opted to air her own colonoscopy to shed light on the importance of the procedure — an act that resulted in a 20% increase in adults undergoing their own.
She got engaged to John Molner in 2013

Couric said her daughters were surprised when she and second husband Molner got engaged in 2013. “I think they were a little [like] ‘Wow,’ because it’s been the three of us for so long,” Couric explained to Access Hollywood.
“They really think the world of John,” she also shared. “He loves them and so I think it’s all good and I think it’s going to be a while. And I’m focused on Carrie right now and her senior year of high school.”
Couric says her grandson reminds her of Monahan

Couric’s first grandchild was born March 2024 and named after Monahan.
“John Albert Dobrosky was born on his due date, Saturday, March 23rd at 8:23 am, just shy of seven pounds,” Couric captioned Instagram hospital pics of daughter Ellie, and her husband, Mark Dobrosky, holding their newborn. “He will be called Jay in honor of his maternal grandfather.”
In March 2025 she told Us Weekly, “When Ellie gets married or has a baby, or Carrie is going to get her PhD this fall, you know, I always think of how proud he would be of them. So, we think about him a lot.”
Baby Jay’s name was something that came as a surprise to Couric. “I was pulling for Katie. We didn’t know whether she was having a boy or a girl,” the TV personality joked. “I think [Ellie] was thinking of Jay, but it was a surprise. And his name is John Albert — Albert after Mark’s grandfather and Jay after Ellie’s dad. So, it’s a very meaningful and special name. And he’s super cute, obviously.”
Couric was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2022, sending her on her own cancer journey and adding another layer to her ongoing cancer research and treatment advocacy.
“June 21, 2022, was the first day of summer, my 8th wedding anniversary, and the day I found out I had breast cancer,” she wrote in an essay for her Katie Couric Media website in September 2022.
A month later, Couric revealed she was feeling “just fine” following the news.
“I just feel super lucky that it was diagnosed when it was, that I went, even though I was late, that I went when I did,” she explained, crediting her radiologist with helping her figure out what to do right away. “I was pretty stunned, and I think those words — ‘it’s cancerous’ or ‘you have cancer’ — do stop you in their tracks, but she told me it was treatable. We needed to have a plan.”
Couric shared an update in 2023 and announced she was cancer-free. She told People, “I was very fortunate. My cancer was caught very, very early when it’s most treatable, and if I can just be an advertisement for people to get screened, to get their mammography done, to talk to their doctors, and if they have dense breasts, to get additional screening.”
We know what you’re thinking: jelly flats? In 2025? But the truth is, they’re back — and weirdly enough, they look better than ever. Celebs have been slipping into them with everything from slouchy trousers to floaty sundresses, proving that these throwback shoes can actually feel fresh and even chic with the right styling.
The catch? Jelly flats aren’t exactly heatwave-friendly. Since they’re made from plastic (or at least plastic-adjacent), you’ve got a small-but-glorious window to wear them before temps hit “standing-on-the-surface-of-the-sun” levels. So now — when it’s warm but not yet gross out — is the sweet spot. They’re breathable(ish), playful and add a pop of personality to outfits that otherwise feel like rinse-and-repeat summer staples.
So if you’re even thinking about snagging a pair, the time is officially now. Ahead, chic styles from $15.
9 Stylish Jelly Flats Starting At $15
1. Playground Princess: With a closed-toe lattice design that keeps your toes protected but still lets your feet breathe, this stye is like the adult version of your childhood faves. At just $20, they’re a low-stakes way to dip back into the jelly trend without overthinking it.
2. Time Traveler: This grown-up Mary Jane takes the nostalgia up a notch with a chic square toe, subtle buckle and cork footbed for actual all-day comfort. It’s like your childhood school shoes, but make it stylish.
3. Sock Trick: These ankle-hugging jelly flats are the closest thing to wearing socks. The slip-on style and round toe make them easy, breezy, and kinda artsy.
4. Cage Match: This isn’t your average dad sandal. The caged toe and buckle strap add structure, while the PVC keeps things light and water-friendly. Think: fisherman chic, but make it 2025.
5. ’90s Dean: A preppy loafer meets a ‘90s jelly revival in this geometric cutout flat that somehow feels both nostalgic and totally modern. It’s quirky, cool and definitely not what your boss would expect on Casual Friday.
6. Beach Bum Slip-On: These breathable mesh jelly mules are perfect for beach days, grocery runs or just not wanting to deal with straps. Bonus: the padded footbed makes them feel more like house shoes than summer sandals.
7. The Sparkle Stealth: They’ve got a slight heel for that polished lift, but the real charm is how sparkly these shoes look without veering into gaudy territory.
8. PVC Picasso: Like wearable sculpture, these lightweight flats feature a lacy PVC upper that’s actually fruit-scented (yes, really). They’re water-resistant and shockingly comfy, thanks to that cushy sole.
9. Cherry Pop: Bright cherry red with a bold T-strap, these bold flats are not for the faint of heart — but if you want your jelly sandals to do the talking, they’ve got plenty to say.
“It was sudden [and] it felt like it was my life,” Patrick, 43, said on the Wednesday, May 21, episode of “The Sage Steele Show” podcast, going on to describe her break up with the former Green Bay Packers athlete as the most painful thing she had ever experienced.
“You know, when you live with somebody and it’s, like, your whole life,” she continued. “It’s your dentist appointment, it’s your hairdo, it’s your clothes, it’s your mailing address. It’s, like, everything.”
The retired NASCAR driver went on to allege that the “nature of the relationship was emotionally abusive,” which she claimed “wore [her] down to nothing.”
Someone that people could never imagine that I would lack any confidence or belief in the simple things about who I am,” she claimed. “Yeah, everything was down to bits.”
Patrick and Rodgers dated from 2018 to 2020. Patrick’s rep confirmed to Us that they were “no longer together” after she unfollowed the NFL star on social media.
Rodgers has never publicly discussed the end of their two-year relationship at length, nor responded to Patrick’s abuse allegations. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.
“He leaves a trail of blood. I don’t think I’m saying too much earth-shattering stuff after there’s been enough out there,” Patrick quipped on Wednesday’s episode. “[The breakup] gave me the greatest gift, which was myself. I was, like, ‘Wow.’ It gave me the greatest gift of how much I needed to show up for myself and take care of myself.”
During her podcast interview, Patrick further admitted that she had ignored signs of the alleged abuse at the time.
“I would say, ‘I’m built for hard things. I can handle hard things,’ and so, I just saw it as a hard thing,” Patrick said. “My nature is to try harder and to do more, and I was like, ‘What if I don’t do it for the right person? What if I just get a stick up my a** about this and get too proud?’”
According to Patrick, she “wished [she] would have tried” to leave the situation earlier.
“I don’t have shame and I don’t have regret because I know that everything leads to the next thing,” she added. “It’s all part of the path of learning the lessons and becoming who you are again. It’s not that you’re not going to go through hard times again, but learn how to get through them quicker [and] learn how to get through them more peacefully.”
Patrick later moved on with Carter Comstock before they split in 2022 after nearly one year together.
“I’m like, ‘Is my judgment the best?’ I don’t know,” Patrick exclusively joked to Us Weekly in May 2022, referring to the split. “I think that you just have to follow your heart and trust your intuition.”
She continued, “I think that’s something that increasingly over time, I’m doing a better job of. So just trust that intuition, look for … like right, if there are red flags at the beginning, like trust that [and] don’t just brush it off. I think those are the things that I’m beginning to realize are really critical. … I have no doubt that it’ll come along and [at the] perfect timing.”
Rodgers, for his part, was briefly engaged to actress Shailene Woodley after he and Patrick went their separate ways. Their on-off relationship ended for good in 2022, before he found love again with a currently unidentified partner.
“I’m in a different phase of my life,” Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Showlast month. “I’m 41 years old. I’m in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention. I have personal commitments not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me.”
Rodgers is an NFL free agent who has not yet formally signed with a new team ahead of the 2025-2026 season.

Taylor Swiftand Travis Kelce reemerged from their hiatus from the spotlight for a low-key date in Florida!!! — three exclamation points obviously required.
Swift and Kelce, both 35, were spotted having dinner at Harry’s restaurant in West Palm Beach on Friday, May 23, according to photos obtained by TMZ. The pop star wore an off-the-shoulder floral sundress with a black handbag, while Kelce opted for a leaf-printed button-down, khaki pants and a black baseball cap.
According to the outlet, Swift and Kelce were seen holding hands as they entered the establishment but reportedly kept the PDA to a minimum.
Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently relocated to the Sunshine State — temporarily — to start training for the upcoming 2025-2026 NFL season. He’s been renting a $20 million abode in Boca Raton, which is approximately 25 miles from downtown West Palm.
Swift, for her part, has been flying under the radar since ending her history-making Eras Tour and cheering on Kelce in the 2025 Super Bowl in February. (The Chiefs ultimately lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.)
“Taylor and Travis are doing great, and they’re still very much together and in love,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in a cover story last month. “They’re just taking a break from the public eye.”
In addition to enjoying their well-earned downtime, Swift and Kelce stepped out for a handful of vacations in the likes of New York, Montana and Utah.
“Travis wants to take [a breather] from the public eye,” a second source told Us in April. “He was working too much last year, and he didn’t play as well as he wanted. He wants to have a good season and not have the focus be on his relationship with Taylor.”
Kelce has been dating the Grammy winner since summer 2023, shortly after he called her out on his “New Heights” podcast for not wanting to meet when he went to her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. After hearing Kelce’s podcast pleas, Swift reached out, and the rest of their love story is history.
“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she told TIME in a December 2023 profile, addressing her first appearance at his game the previous September. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
Swift kept stepping out at many of Kelce’s games, including back-to-back Super Bowls, all of which often stole attention and elicited criticism from football fans. No matter what, Swift has shaken off the haters.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” she added to TIME. “I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once. “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.”
Kelce is equally proud of Swift, attending many of her Eras concerts and even organizing a post-tour party in December 2024.
