Taylor Swift fan shares adorable sonogram of baby forming 'fearless heart'
Marie Smith, a devoted Taylor Swift fan, recently had a magical moment during a routine ultrasound. The expectant mother was thrilled to see her baby’s hands curled into a heart shape, mirroring Taylor Swift's iconic "Fearless heart" gesture.
In an interview with People, Smith, 27, shared her amazement and joy. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, I'm so glad you said something. I wanted to make sure I was seeing it right," she recalled, adding that it was her doctor who first noticed the heart shape.

Her dedication is clear, as she saved up for months to attend the Eras Tour in Pittsburgh with her eight-year-old cousin.
“I am having my first baby girl in October and had a sonogram a few weeks ago. She was doing the 'Fearless heart' above her head like perfectly. Die-hard Swiftie, before birth,” Smith wrote in a Facebook post, sharing the sonogram image with fellow fans. Smith has also shared significant pregnancy milestones with a Taylor Swift theme, including her announcement and plans for a Swift-inspired baby shower.

Taylor Swift subtly reveals scrapped wedding plans with ex Joe Alwyn ahead of London concerts
As Taylor Swift continues the UK leg of her Eras Tour, speculation has arisen about the singer hinting at failed wedding plans with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn in her new album, 'The Tortured Poets Department'.
Reports of Swift and Alwyn's split surfaced in April last year, following their six-year relationship. According to a source, the breakup was not dramatic but rather a natural end to their relationship: "The relationship had just run its course. It's why [Alwyn] hasn't been spotted at any (Eras Tour) shows."
Almost a year later, Swift seemingly addressed the breakup in her album, particularly through the poignant lyrics of the track 'So Long, London'. The song appears to reflect on her relationship with Alwyn and the life they shared in London. In the song, Swift sings, "I’m p***ed off you let me give you all that youth for free," expressing her frustration over the time invested in the relationship.
She also touches on her dreams of marrying Alwyn, with lyrics such as, "You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? I died on the altar waiting for the proof." This line suggests that Swift felt left waiting for a commitment that never materialized. Additionally, she seems to express her sorrow over leaving London, singing, "I’m just mad as hell ‘cause I loved this place."
Swift has previously hinted at wanting to marry Alwyn in her music. In 'You're Losing Me' from 'Midnights', written in 2021 and released last spring, she sings: "And I wouldn't marry me either / A pathological people pleaser / Who only wanted you to see her." Similarly, in her 2019 song 'Lover', she romantically croons, "Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? / With every guitar string scar on my hand / I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover."

Taylor Swift performs surprise mashup of ‘Crazier’ and ‘All of the girls you loved before’ at Eras Tour
Taylor Swift continues to delight her fans with unexpected musical surprises on her Eras Tour. During her second show in Scotland on Saturday, June 8, Swift treated the audience to a special acoustic mashup of 'All of the Girls You Loved Before' from 2023 and 'Crazier' from the 2009 'Hannah Montana' movie.
“You get extra points if you know this next song at all because it is really, really old,” Swift, 34, announced to the crowd at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium, as she played the mashup on the piano.
The nostalgic performance took place during the surprise song segment of the concert, where Swift played two songs or two mashups acoustically each night. For this particular evening, the other mashup was 'The Bolter' from her latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department' (2024), combined with 'Getaway Car' from her 2017 album 'Reputation'.
Taylor Swift tours Europe while Travis Kelce wins home run-hitting contest
Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs' talented tight end and boyfriend of pop superstar Taylor Swift, demonstrated his athletic prowess beyond the football field by winning a home run contest at a charity softball event. This event, hosted by Browns tight end David Njoku, took place at Classic Park, home of the minor league Lake County Captains.
Kelce, who hails from Cleveland, arrived just as the event was starting, taking the time to greet fans and exchange warm welcomes with Browns defensive end Myles Garrett and quarterback Deshaun Watson. His high school baseball experience was evident as he stepped into the batter's box and put on an impressive display of power hitting.
Kelce clinched the win with a final swing, sending the ball over the fence and celebrating with a bat flip and a victory lap around the bases. The trophy he won will be a notable addition to show Taylor Swift, who is currently performing concerts in Scotland as part of her Eras Tour.
Kelce's relationship with Njoku has grown over the years, with Njoku praising Kelce for being one of the "purest human beings" he has ever met. The two have bonded through events like the offseason at Tight End University.
