Taylor Swift surprises fans by bringing ex Taylor Lautner onstage
With the new release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version), Taylor Swift surprised fans by bringing out her ex Taylor Lautner, Joey King and Presley Cash onstage during her latest Eras tour show in Kansas City. This wasn't a random guest appearance on Friday night (7 July) as all three also feature in Swift's new music video for her 'From The Vault' track 'I Can See You' which premiered at the concert. In the video, both Lautner and King are burglars, and with help from Cash, they break into a museum filled with dresses and props from Swift's career over the years, where they also show off their fighting skills as security tries to stop them.

The three of them bolt out of the museum as explosions set off but make it to the van as Cash drives them away from the scene. As Swift loves giving fans Easter eggs, fans have noted how the three actors have previous connections to Swift's Speak Now era. The two Taylors famously dated back in 2009 for a few months after they starred together in the romantic comedy Valentine's Day, where they played a couple. It is widely speculated that the breakup song 'Back to December' from the album is about Lautner, with the theme of the song about apologising and asking for forgiveness from an ex for breaking their heart. Meanwhile, King and Cash both appeared in Swift's music video for the track 'Mean'. Swift explained in an Instagram post that the music video she wrote and directed was about wanting to "play out symbolically how it’s felt for me to have the fans helping me reclaim my music." Speak Now (Taylor's Version) marks the third re-recorded album from Swift's discography after previously releasing Fearless (Taylor's Version) in April 2021 and Red (Taylor's Version) later on in November of the same year. On stage at Kansas City, Swift and Lautner shared a hug as the audience roared in excitement at the surprise. The Anti-Hero singer then praised the Twilight actor for the impact he had on her life at the time she originally made the album as well as his fighting skills in the music video. @elysemyers This is a fever dream “He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video. "He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name," Swift joked. In return, Lautner was also complimentary of Swift as the two are clearly friendly exes. “I respect you so much. Not just for the singer you are, the songwriter, the performer — but truly for the human you are. You are gracious, humble, kind and I’m honoured to know you," Lautner said. Speak Now (Taylor's Version) was released on July 7. Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

Sharon Osbourne dresses as Kanye West's 'wife' wearing a pillow for Halloween
This year, celebrities treated Halloween as the second Met Gala, going above and beyond for their star-studded bashes. From Heidi Klum's impressive peacock look (complete with 10 Cirque du Soleil performers) to Kendall Jenner as Marilyn Monroe and her famed Kardashian sisters cosplaying as Bratz dolls, they all collectively won Halloween. Even Hailey Bieber seemingly made a tongue-in-cheek reference to Mean Girls after TikTokers cruelly called her the new Regina George following a clash with Selena Gomez earlier this year. Well now, attention has been turned to Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne who creatively dressed up as Kanye West and Bianca Censori with her infamous pillow outfit. Sharon's post to Instagram left followers in hysterics, with one person calling it "the greatest thing I've ever seen." "LMAO KANYE AND HIS WIFE GIRL BYE SLAY SHARON," another user added, while a third commented: "You guys are epic! Looking great, Sharon!" Meanwhile, some people were lost and did not quite understand the pop culture reference... For the blissfully unaware, Kanye and his rumoured wife made headlines over the summer during their trip across Italy. Many outfits turned heads for their risque nature – but one in particular, was Censori covering herself with a hotel pillow. The snaps sparked confusion and backlash online, with one writing: "How completely ridiculous these people are. Put on some clothes and then you won’t have to take a hotel room cushion out sightseeing with you - and you even get your arms free! Novel concept." Meanwhile, one person called their behaviour "unhinged," writing: "Kanye & Bianca Censori are unhinged. Someone ought to stage an intervention. Wearing a pillow? Him walking in socks?"

The Stakes Are Unfairly High for DC’s All-Latine Superhero Movie Blue Beetle
On August 18, DC Comics’ Blue Beetle, its latest superhero movie, hits theaters across the country. As the first superhero film to be written, directed, and starred by Latines, it’s been billed as a win for Latine representation in superhero and sci-fi films. And as can be (unfairly) expected for a project with predominantly ethnically marginalized actors and creators, the stakes around its success are high.

Kurt Cobain's daughter has married Tony Hawk's son in the best 90s crossover ever
Kurt Cobain's daughter and Tony Hawk's son have reportedly tied the knot, bringing together two iconic families of the 90s. Frances Bean Cobain, 31, and Riley Hawk, 30, got a marriage license back in September in San Diego County, Los Angeles, according to documents obtained by TMZ. The big day took place on October 7, and the couple had former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, a friend of Kurt Cobain, perform at the ceremony. The relationship between the couple began in 2022 and was confirmed by Cobain after she posted a series of photos on Instagram after taking a year-long break from social media. One snap was of herself cuddled with the professional skateboarder, alongside Tony and his wife, Catherine Goodman. In another image, Riley smiled at the camera while holding a dog dressed in a Christmas-themed costume. "I took a year-long break from posting on Instagram which was exceptionally good for my mental, emotional & spiritual health," Frances wrote in the post. "2021 brought me more into the present moment than I've ever been, which I'm deeply grateful for." Frances was previously married to musician Isaiah Silva in 2014 but the couple divorced in 2016. News of the relationship and now marriage between Frances - the daughter of the Nirvana frontman - and Hawk - the son of the most famous skateboarder of all time - has delighted fans.
