Here are some photos of Taylor Swift out and about in New York yesterday. Once again, she was spotted coming and going from the Electric Lady Studio, where she?s been recording on-and-off throughout the past year. Everyone assumes that she?s deep into rerecording Reputation, and while I think that?s true, I would also believe that she?s recording new music as well.
Taylor looked warm (finally) in a hooded cashmere dress from The Row, which retails for $3350. Insane, but Taylor is absolutely The Row?s target audience. Rich, white, thin, tall. The whole ensemble looks like she was styled by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I don?t have an ID on her coat, but it?s a good piece, nor do I have an ID on those chunky shoes.
Meanwhile, the American media is still trying to force Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to get engaged. Page Six has a story about a Philly jewelry designer named Steven Singer offering Travis a free engagement ring (worth $1 million) just so Kelce can propose to Taylor. Meanwhile, People Magazine got a treading-water story from (I assume) Taylor and Travis?s teams, in which sources said that Trav and Tay are ?really happy? together and ?theyre having a lot of fun, but theyre still seeing where it goes.? The pressure being exerted on them to make a commitment is so extra, especially given that Travis is trying to focus on football right now. Plus, Taylor?s leaving for Japan and her Eras Tour international dates in just a few weeks. Still, there?s gossip that Taylor will travel to Highmark Stadium on Sunday to watch the Chiefs play the Buffalo Bills. We?ll see.

In recent weeks, it?s been really friggin? cold in the mid-Atlantic and up and down the East Coast. We all got a lot of rain, freezing rain and snow over the weekend and again on Tuesday, and temperatures have gone below freezing as soon as evening falls. So why did Blake Lively and Taylor Swift step out in New York last night without any coats, scarves or gloves? Blake looks especially underdressed, while Taylor at least looks seasonally appropriate, although I bet she wished she wore a coat.
Taylor and Blake were out last night at Lucille Pizza for a ?private party.? That?s what Backgrid says, although other outlets say that Taylor and Blake went to Lucali. Maybe they went to multiple locations. They were apparently joined by Jack Antonoff and Zoe Kravitz and some other friends.
Going back to Taylor?s ensemble she?s wearing a lot of green, snake-themed clothes lately because she?s previewing Reputation (Taylor?s Version). She?s rerecorded her 2017 album and it will likely be released in the coming months. Her Eras Tour picks up internationally next month as well. Anyway, that?s why she?s doing the snake looks Reputation is heavy on the snake imagery. Taylor?s boots in these photos are the ?Jimmy Choo Snake Boots? and they retail for $2450. Also: the crushed velvet and the cut of Tay?s dress is SO 1990s.

2023 was the Year of Taylor Swift, for better or for worse. She dominated the charts, the awards, the touring schedule and the economy. She also dominated the gossip, first with the Joe Alwyn breakup, then the messy relationship with Matt Healy, but she finished the last half of the year on a high note with her relationship with Travis Kelce. Taylor and her parents spent Christmas Day at a Chiefs game which the Chiefs lost and then for New Year?s Eve, Taylor was back at Arrowhead Stadium, watching her man. The Chiefs pulled it out against the Bengals and secured the AFC West division title. At least that put a temporary pause on the sports-bro commentary about ?Taylor Swift is a distraction for the Chiefs!? Although from what I saw, the Chiefs still have some issues (but none of them are about Swift). Meanwhile, Travis and Taylor left Arrowhead together and they went and partied the night away:
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are ready for 2024! The pop superstar and the athlete, both 34, were spotted leaving Kelces New Years Eve NFL game together after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals with a final score of 25-17, securing their AFC West division title.
According to a photograph shared on Instagram by The Kansas City Star journalist Nick Wagner, Kelce left the game wearing a black beanie and a black and white striped sweatshirt, as the Maroon singer stood closely beside him, rocking her signature red lip.
During the afternoon game, Kelce notched 16 yards, helping lead his team to the win, as Swift watched alongside the team?s family and friends.

That?s not it someone got footage of Taylor and Trav kissing at midnight at a party. The Swifties are also talking a lot about how comfortable Taylor seems with the Chiefs WAGs and Travis?s family. Like, we never got anything like this when she was with Joe Alwyn we assumed that Taylor spent time with Joe?s family and friends in London, but we never saw it like we see it with Travis?s people. As it turns out, Joe was always the problem. He treated Taylor like she was dirty little secret. Travis sees Taylor as a prize and he wants to show her off and be part of his group.

Obviously the current dominating story with Taylor Swift is her budding romance with Travis Kelce. But that?s no excuse to let up the attention on how she?s a certified billionaire, is breaking all kinds of box office and concert ticket records, and has earned a Golden Globe nomination in a brand new category for her self-distributed Eras Tour concert film. As a birthday gift to Taylor, Guinness World Records announced that Eras Tour had become the highest-grossing music tour of all time. It feels incorrect to call this news, since we know she owns us all at this point. So let?s call it confirmation of an inherent truth. E! News rounded up some more facts and figures about this milestone:
Taylor Swift?s uber-popular Eras Tour has officially broken the record for the highest-grossing music tour of all time, Guinness World Records announced Dec. 12.
The Grammy winner?s concert series has reportedly become the first to make more than $1 billion in revenue ? specifically, it has earned $1.04 billion in just nine months after opening in March 2023, Guinness notes, citing Pollstar. (Bloomberg also crowned Swift personally a billionaire in October.)
Before Swift?s achievement at age 33, Elton John, 76, held the record for highest-grossing tour thanks to his farewell concert series, which ended in Sweden in July 2023 after five years, reportedly making $939 million.
So, while there?s only so far new money goes, it?s clear Swift is going the distance. And she has more shows left, returning to the stage in Tokyo in February 2024, before heading to Australia, Singapore and then Europe.
For fans not able to make the trek (or score a stub on Ticketmaster), Swift also brought the experience to the big screen in October with the release of her Eras Tour movie. The concert film has brought in nearly $250 million worldwide in two months and will be available to rent on Prime Video Dec. 13.
[From E! News]
Oh man, rub it in more, E! News. 33-year-old Taylor Swift + 9 months of touring = $1 billion whereas 76-year-old Elton John + 5 years of touring = $939 million. But it?s not like Taylor doesn?t work hard for her money. Later on the article quoted some parts of Taylor?s TIME Person of the Year interview where she talked about her training for the tour:
?I knew this tour was harder than anything I?d ever done before by a long shot,? she told TIME magazine in an interview published Dec. 6. ?Every day I would run on the treadmill, singing the entire set list out loud. Fast for fast songs, and a jog or a fast walk for slow songs.?
The ?Anti-Hero? singer then had three months of dance training, ?because I wanted to get it in my bones,? she added. ?I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought.?
[From E! News]
I love when artists talk shop about preparation and processes. And I especially love it when the method turns out to be ?practice, practice, practice!? There?s often a magical notion out there that someone successful simply has something ineffable that makes them destined for achievement. Sure, people can have an ?it? factor. But success comes down to doing the work, even when it?s repetitive or unglamorous. Even when it?s spending three hours everyday running on the treadmill while singing. And since I haven?t been on a treadmill in REDACTED years, that is the (one and only) reason why I am not as successful as Taylor Swift.

You guys, this is the second GREAT Stella McCartney ensemble I?ve seen in as many days. What is happening? Usually I loathe all things Stella McCartney, but Pamela Anderson?s Stella outfit at the British Fashion Awards was amazing, and now look at Taylor Swift?s Stella McCartney coat and matching miniskirt. They?re outstanding! I love that tweed, I love everything about her street-style look here (except the shoes). The coat is apparently $2900. Yikes, too rich for me, but it does look great on Tay.
These are pics of Taylor out to dinner last night in Tribeca. She flew out of Kansas City yesterday I think, or maybe Monday? Some outlets described her flight back to New York as ?sudden,? but? that?s where she lives, and she?s not just going to camp out in Kansas City permanently. Especially when Meredith, Benjamin and Olivia are probably still living in New York. I don?t see any gossip about Taylor?s dinner companions, so it?s possible she just went out with her security guys they went to Paros, a Greek restaurant.
The Kansas City Chiefs will play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and the game is at Arrowhead in KC. Will Taylor fly back down this weekend to see her man play? This past Sunday was the first time the Chiefs lost with Taylor in attendance. I wonder?

Back in May, Taylor Swift released a new edition of her Midnights album, and the new edition included a new-to-fans song called ?You?re Losing Me.? Swifties soon put the pieces together that Taylor was explaining why she and Joe Alwyn broke up he didn?t want to marry her, she didn?t want to conform to whatever image he had of what ?his girlfriend? should look like, etc. I covered the song here it came out when Taylor and her team were in the trenches over Tay?s relationship with Matt Healy, and the song absolutely had the feel of a convenient distraction from that PR mess. It?s also worth noting that while we only found out about the Swift-Alwyn split in early spring, I absolutely had the vibe that Taylor and Joe were on the rocks for a while before then. Enter Jack Antonoff (Taylor?s friend and producer), who posted this epic ?clue? this week:

Taylor Swift began the South American leg of her Eras Tour last weekend in Argentina. The next day, Travis Kelce flew down to see her and Taylor ended up rain-checking that night?s show due to, well, rain. She said on Twitter ?I love a rain show but I?m never going to endanger my fans or my fellow performers and crew. We?ve rescheduled tonight?s Buenos Aires show for Sunday due to the weather being so truly chaotic it would be unsafe to try and put on this concert.? And so it went. After a quick zip back to NYC, Taylor traveled back down for three Rio de Janeiro shows. Much of Brazil was under severe heat advisory last week, with temperatures at times exceeding 100 F. Tragically, one young fan lost her life due to the extreme heat at Friday?s show. Ana Clara Benevides Machado was 23 years old. After commenting on Instagram that she was ?shattered? by the death, Taylor took to Instagram again on Saturday, hours before showtime, to announce she was canceling due to the heat.
On Saturday, the pop superstar shared an Instagram Story, notifying her followers that her second of three Eras Tour concerts at Estadio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will not go on as planned.
The decision, which Swift wrote was a result of the ?extreme temperatures in Rio,? comes a day after an attendee died ahead of Swift?s Friday concert.
?I?m writing this from my dressing room in the stadium,? Swift shared to her Instagram Story in a hand-written note Saturday. ?The decision has been made to postpone tonight?s show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio.?
?The safety and well being of my fans, fellow performers and crew has to and will always come first.?
While Swift?s announcement did not specify a new date for her Saturday show, event organizer Time for Fun revealed in a later statement that the show has been rescheduled to Monday, with all tickets to Saturday?s performance remaining valid for the new date.
The postponement follows Swift?s previous Instagram Story, where she revealed that her heart was ?shattered? by the death of a fan on Friday.
Time for Fun shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that 23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado had died after feeling unwell at the venue. According to the post, which was shared in Portuguese, first responders attended to Benevides Machado and she died after being transferred to the local Salagdo Filfo Hospital.
?I can?t believe I?m writing these words, but it?s with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,? Swift wrote on Friday.
?I can?t even tell you how devastated I am by this,? she added. ?There?s very little information I have other than the fact she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young.?
[From People]
A local Brazilian paper, Folha De S Paulo, says that Ana Clara Benevides Machado arrived at the venue at 11am, and passed out shortly before the show?s 7:30pm start time. While the temperature was technically about 102 F that day, factoring in the humidity means that at times it felt like 138 F. Pivotally, Time for Fun apparently had a ban on bringing water bottles in, despite the extreme heat. Lots of videos have circulated this weekend of Taylor directing organizers to get water to fans clearly in need ? I wonder if she was aware that the very same organizers had banned the water bottles on their way in? Temperatures went down enough that Taylor resumed performing on Sunday, but the Brazilian government still ordered Time for Fun to allow fans to bring their own water bottles into the venue. Time for Fun has additionally said it would provide free water at lines and all entryways moving forward. Thanks, Time for Fun, but all this should have been set in motion on Friday when 60,000+ people were assembled in 140 F heat. Concert organizers should know this. (And let?s face it, severe weather will likely be around for a while.)
Ana Clara Benevides Machado was very excited to get on a plane to see her first Taylor Swift concert. Our thoughts and sympathies are with her family.

When Taylor Swift is touring in North America, she times out the concert dates to have four or five-day blocs where she returns to one of her homes and chills out. I thought it would be different when she?s touring internationally, that Taylor would have a lot to do and a lot to manage, and it would be a giant time-suck to constantly fly back and forth to the US in-between tour dates. I was wrong Taylor flew back to New York after her Argentina concerts, and then shell fly down to Brazil in a few days. She was out last night in NYC like jet-lag doesnt even affect her. After South America, she has a touring break in December and January. After that, it?s Asia and Australia in February-March, then Europe in May through August. A European summer next year! I wonder if Travis Kelce will still be around by then. I also wonder if Taylor?s fans are more invested in Traylor than Taylor herself is invested in the relationship. ?A source? went to People Mag to talk about what it meant to Taylor that Travis flew down to Argentina to see her shows.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?s love story is nothing short of ?special.? After spending lots of time with the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end during her recent break from the stage, Swift, 33, has resumed her Eras Tour ? and sparks are still flying between the new couple.
?Taylor was excited to kick off her international tour. She?s had a great break,? a source tells PEOPLE.
The insider says that during her break, the 1989 songstress ?loved catching up with girlfriends? and ?had fun spending time with Travis.?
?He is a gentleman,? the source says of the NFL star. ?He is very focused on his career. He has a great relationship with his family. He has an amazing energy and approach to life.?
?It all feels very special,? the insider adds.
[From People]
?He is a gentleman. He is very focused on his career. He has a great relationship with his family. He has an amazing energy and approach to life.? It feels like she?s marking things off of a checklist. And I agree, Travis is great on paper. If we were creating a perfect man for Taylor, we would have written down all of those qualities secure in himself, has his own career, has his own money, he?s respectful, he?s family-oriented, he?s funny and dorky. But sometimes the good-on-paper guys aren?t the ones you end up marrying. Maybe I?m totally off-base here, but what I?ve predicted all along is that Taylor is gonna end up fighting her own urge to sabotage this relationship. As someone with a strong contrarian streak, I understand that completely sometimes when everyone around you is pressuring you or trying to convince you of something, you just want to walk away from it completely.

Last night, the South American leg of Taylor Swift?s Eras Tour began in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She?s performing three nights in a row in Argentina, so she has concerts at Estadio River Plate tonight and Saturday night as well. The big gossip ahead of her first show was ?where is Travis Kelce?? The Kansas City Chiefs have a week off their next game isn?t until November 20th. Outlets like NBC News and Page Six had sources claiming that Travis was absolutely going to South America to see his girlfriend?s concerts. But? he wasn?t in the audience last night in Buenos Aires.
There was a ?Blank Space? in the Buenos Aires crowd Thursday night. It seems that Travis Kelce was absent from Taylor Swift?s first Eras Tour concert in Argentina, despite eagle-eyed fans searching the crowd all night.
Page Six confirmed Wednesday that Kelce would be traveling to the South American country to support the 12-time Grammy winner.
Swift still has two shows to perform in Buenos Aires on Friday and Saturday, respectively, so the NFL star still has the chance to support his girlfriend.
Although Kelce was seemingly not in attendance, Swift still put on a flawless performance in front of over 70,000 fans as she kicked off the international leg of her record-breaking tour.
An insider close to the NFL star, 34, told Page Six Wednesday that he was definitely traveling to see the pop star, 33, perform over the weekend ? yet they didn?t specify which show he planned to attend.
[From Page Six]
If sources are saying ?weekend,? I bet Travis makes it to the Saturday concert. I wonder if that?s what Taylor prefers as well it?s probably quite an ordeal to get all of her concert setpieces to South America and making sure the crew and her team are all prepared and everything. She?s busy, is what I?m saying. After Saturday, Taylor doesn?t have another concert until another three-nights-in-a-row situation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, starting November 17th. I wonder if Travis is going to spend a few days Taylor?s ?off days? with Tay in Argentina or Brazil.

While ?loving autumn? has been commercialized to the point of collective nausea, I really do love everything about this time of year. Cold mornings, cool afternoons. Layers, but rarely heavy coats. Long sleeves, knitwear. Warm cups of tea or hot chocolate. Plentiful apples. Everything feels crisp. Well, Taylor Swift loves autumn too. It?s remarkable to think about this, but she really has lived in New York for a decade now. I don?t think about it like that because I?m pretty sure she spent much of the Joe Alwyn-relationship in England, but still, New York has been her primary residence for a decade. She must love an East Coast autumn, and she has the fall wardrobe to prove it.
These are photos of Taylor out on Friday night. As you can see, she got her autumn clothes out wide-leg canvas (?) trousers in some kind of muddy olive shade and a Gucci sweater in shades of brown. She paired the look with a caramel-leather purse and heeled boots. A very autumnal look, but she has much better cold-weather style than this. I actually think the Gucci sweater is completely fug, but I?m sure it costs thousands.
Taylor went out to dinner with Phoebe Bridgers, who opened for the Eras Tour for several months. Bridgers and Swift have become close friends in recent years. They went to Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village, and according to the owner of the restaurant, Taylor and Phoebe ate ?baked oysters and foie gras amouse bouche,? and Taylor really liked the foie gras. Ew. I don?t fk with foie gras, but a lot of wealthy people do. Baked oysters sound nice though. Let me look at this menu oh, it?s French cuisine, with sort of a New York twist. The truffle-roasted chicken is what I would get, hands down. The dessert list is BONKERS. I love that Taylor goes out to New York?s cool restaurants with her girlfriends.
Meanwhile, Taylor?s boyfriend Travis Kelce is in Germany this weekend, where the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt. At the team?s press conference in Germany, he was asked if Taylor would be flying in. Travis wouldn?t say, but he did say this: When I mention, or everyone knows shes at the game, the Vegas line and over/under on my catches goes up and down. The spread goes up and down. So I dont want to mess with any of that stuff. Im just going to keep that to myself. He was asked if there was any update on his romance and he said: The latest status is, ?I got to see her last week.' Then he was asked if he?s in love with Taylor and he said, ?I?m going to keep my personal relationship personal.? He handled that deftly.
