An interview on FloRacing featured a cousin of Swift, who happens to be associated with dirt track racing, sharing insights into their shared experiences growing up.

Swift made headlines again when rapper Flavor Flav expressed his support for her. He urged comedian Jo Koy, under fire for his Golden Globes 2024 jokes, including one about Swift and the NFL, to apologize to the 'Lover' singer.

The attention around Swift continued as Simu Liu, known for his role in 'Shang-Chi,' pledged a 'no Taylor slander' hosting for the 2024 People's Choice Awards, which he is set to host.

In another headline, sources revealed that a wedding might not be on the horizon for Kelce and the pop icon, as they are reportedly still in the process of getting to know each other.
