It’s been more than two months since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce crashed all your social feeds with their reportedly lavish, but extremely locked-down wedding at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Not a single photo of the dress, the ceremony, the afterparty or really any other salient details have leaked from either Swift or Kelce’s camp in one of the most impressive displays of message discipline in recent pop history.
But on Wednesday (Sept. 2) Travis, 36, is gearing up to spill some tea about the event in the season 5 debut of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce. In a minute-long preview clip that went up early Wednesday, Jason opens the show by low-keying the event heard ’round the world, saying, “Interesting bit of the offseason … you’re finally married!”
Travis then proudly holds up his golden wedding band and confirms, “I am a married man, yep.” The preview then quickly moves on to shots of the guys laughing uproariously at an unheard joke, Travis shouting “welcome back!” to their loyal viewers and Jason amping up the energy even more by screeching, “HE’S BACK! S–T!”
According to People, during the episode, Travis calls the wedding a “night out we’ll never forget,” adding, “Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up, from the vows to just seeing everyone, to how much fun we had, throughout the entire evening and hearing that, kind of be relayed through everybody’s stories of the night. And it was just so magical, man.”
If he had any regrets, he said, it’s wishing that the night could have lasted even longer than it did. “It felt like it just happened in the blink of an eye.” Kelce and Swift married at MSG on July 3 in a ceremony conducted by comedian and friend Adam Sandler, with Kelce saying they chose the unusual venue because the couple wanted to get married “somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions. And we needed it to be a private feel.”
After some light manscaping talk in the preview clip, the brothers also get to another really important topic: the debut of Travis and Taylor’s adorable Samoyed Wendy in the NFL star’s new Tommy Hilfiger campaign, which dropped on Tuesday (Sept. 1). In the ad, Kelce is seen dapping up some famous sports stars and musicians as he strides through New York’s Plaza Hotel on his way to chill in a suite with the white-haired puppy.
“We were gonna use a dog and am I OK with dogs,” Travis says in the preview. “I’m like, ‘I have a dog.’ And like, ‘Oh, you wanna bring your dog in?’” he said the shoot’s producers asked him. The full episode of New Heights drops at 9:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
Sean Ono Lennon and longtime girlfriend Charlotte Kemp Muhl announced the birth of their first child, a boy, on Tuesday night (Sept. 1). The news came in an Instagram post from the couple in which they proudly cradled their bundle of joy between them with the caption, “@charlottekempmuhl and I have created a Human Bean! His name is Aurelius. Thank You!”
In the snap, Ono Lennon is wearing a black shirt, black sailor’s cap and black eyeglasses, as Muhl stands beside him a flowing white top, with Aurelius splitting the difference as he sleeps in Ono Lennon’s arms in a black and white striped onesie.
The newborn is the first grandchild of Yoko Ono and late Beatle John Lennon, who was murdered by shooter Mark David Chapman outside The Dakota apartment building in New York on Dec, 8, 1980 when Ono Lennon was just five years old.
Ono Lennon, 50, shared several other snaps, including on in which he stares intently into the lens while snuggling with Aurelius, as well as one of partner of nearly 20 years Muhl, 39 — an American-born model and Ono Lennon’s bandmate in The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger — having some quiet chest-nap time with the little man next to the caption “Baby Momma!“
Muhl also celebrated the joyous day with a series of arty snaps with her son, including one in which he’s lying on her chest in a Baby Bjorn as she stares up at the camera while holding a small crab in one hand. Her photo roll also included the close-up of Ono Lennon with Aurelius, as well as images of her standing in a lake in a billowing white dress with Aurelius strapped to her chest. The series ends with a serene close-up of the baby’s face as she sleeps peacefully on a blanket.
“We made a human! Am convinced DNA is agentic alien quaternary code,” Muhl wrote in the caption. “The sleep deprivation only adds to the surrealism…Burping technique tips welcome. Been playing him Aphex Twin and Stravinsky. Meconium is crazy.”
The couple got well-wishes from a number of musicians and actors, including drummer Zak Starkey — son of John Lennon’s Beatles bandmate Ringo Starr — who wrote “Amazing,” as well as actresses Liv Tyler and Ione Skye, Bijou Phillips and John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s former publicist, Elliot Mintz, who wrote, “there are some moments in life that are perfect. this is one of them.” In addition, punk godmother Patti Smith wrote, “Oh Sean I’m so happy for you both,” while Dominic Fike posted a series of heart emoji.
Earlier this year, Ono Lennon released the third studio album with his longtime collaborator, Primus’ Les Claypool, as the Claypool Lennon Delirium, The Great Parrot-Ox and the Golden Egg of Empathy.
Kacey Musgraves had the best time during her two-night stand at New York’s Madison Square Garden, including on Tuesday night (Sept. 1), when she finally got to sing her “Easy” duet with Troye Sivan live on stage for the first time. The Australian singer was a surprise guest during the second night of Musgraves’ MSG stand, popping out to perform the tune in brown leather pants with silver rivets down the front and a brown plaid shirt under a chocolate-covered vest.
The two circled each other on stage, singing, “I can’t even look at you/ Would you look at the space just next to your feet?/ The wood is warping/ The lines distorting/ This house is on fire, woo!/ Burning the tears right off my face/ What the hell did we do?/ Tell me we’ll make it through” as the crowd howled in excitement.
The onstage team-up comes nearly six years after Musgraves and Sivan dropped a remix of “Easy” featuring producer Mark Ronson and a 2020 Bardia Zeinali-directed video in which the pair played a couple of friends on the run. Sivan released the original version of “Easy” on his August 2020 In a Dream EP. The pair have a long history of collaborations, first getting together in 2019 for “Glittery,” the high-energy duet from The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show special, then again for “Easy” and now for the live debut of the song.
Sivan posted a fun backstage clip of their collab on TikTok cued to his song “She’s the Best,” in which the pair struck poses and slow danced next to each other while mouthing the lyrics “that girl, that girl, that girl, that girl, that girl.”
The night before, Musgraves paid tribute to late country icon Dolly Parton, who died last week at 80. Musgraves called Parton a “supernova of a person” and said she was “never gonna be over” the country legend’s death before performing a lively cover of Parton’s 1981 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “9 to 5.”
Musgraves’ Middle of Nowhere tour will move on to Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena on Friday (Sept. 4).
When Sombr returns to Australia and New Zealand next year, he’ll play the biggest arenas in both markets.

Sombr Is No. 1 on Hot 100 Songwriters Chart: ‘Songwriting Is Where It All Began for Me’
The U.S. pop phenom will visit five cities on the domestic leg of his You Are The Reason Tour, all of them locked away for April 2027.
Frontier Touring is producing the trek, which gets underway April 13 at Adelaide’s AEC Arena, followed by Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (April 15), Brisbane Entertainment Centre (April 19), Sydney’s Afterpay Arena (April 22) and coming to a halt April 27 at Auckland’s Spark Arena.
Sombr was last in these parts in December 2025 when he played a sold-out run of theaters and impressed at the 2025 edition of Spilt Milk festival.
Now aged 21, Sombr’s debut album I Barely Know Her opened at No. 6 on the ARIA Chart in August 2025, and almost immediately climbed into the top 5. Also last year, the New Yorker bagged three top 10 hits on Australia’s national singles chart: “Undressed” (which peaked at No. 2), “Back To Friends” (No. 3) and “12 To 12” (No. 6). His 2026 release “Homewrecker” went to No. 6.
Sombr has been hot stuff in his homeland, too. Last year, he confirmed his status has one to watch thanks to his breakout singles “Undressed” and “Back to Friends,” which launched him to the top of the Hot 100 Songwriters ranking for a month-long stretch. His debut album I Barely Know Her peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 last September, and “Homewrecker” and 2026 release “Potential” both charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be replaced after it was targeted by vandals just a week after her death, aged 80.
Images and videos shared on social media show that Parton’s name on the plaque has been obscured by multiple dark scratches. The damage doesn’t appear to be random.
Ana Martinez, a spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, tells TMZ that repairs were already scheduled due to previous cracks found in Parton’s award.
The Hollywood Historic Trust, which grants and maintains the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, wrote on Instagram that it is “proud to honor the legacy of Dolly Parton with a replacement of her star.” The new landmark will be available for viewing this Friday.
The queen of country first received a star during a ceremony June 14, 1984, a dual presentation with actor Sylvester Stallone while they promoted their feature film Rhinestone. It is this award, which bears a record icon, which was damaged and has since been removed.
She received a second star in 2018 alongside Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt for their work together in the informal supergroup, Trio.
Parton’s death on Aug. 25 was met with a global wave of tributes, from fans to fellow artists and even world leaders. The country music superstar’s catalogue experienced a 1,143% gain in official on-demand streams in the United States week over week following her Aug. 25 death, according to Luminate.
As fans remembered Parton by turning to her music, a swag of her classic songs returned to Billboard’s charts. Her classic “Jolene” returned to the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 16. That’s easily a new high for the single, which originally reached No. 60 in 1974.
Also crashing the Hot 100 is “9 to 5” (No. 16), Parton’s Kenny Rogers duet “Islands in the Stream” (No. 26) and “Here You Come Again,” while “I Will Always Love You” blasts to No. 1 on Digital Song Sales, and Ultimate Dolly Partonreturns to the Billboard 200 at No. 5.
Any dedicated Swiftie can tell you more than you’d ever really want to know about Taylor Swift‘s famous trio of adorable cats. But in a new ad for Tommy Hilfiger, husband Travis Kelce introduces the world to the couple’s first canine companion. The 36-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end is one of the sports and fashion stars who appear in the fall campaign ad filmed at New York’s Plaza Hotel, where the Super Bowl winner bumps into pals including model Gigi Hadid, tennis star Francis Tiafoe and former NBA all-star Carmelo Anthony.
But it’s Kelce’s fluffy white Samoyed that really steals the show in the two-minute ad, in which he rocks a gray hoodie and khaki coat while fist-bumping the Plaza doorman on the way in. Travis then daps up South Korean DJ/singer Peggy Gou, heads to his room for some quiet time with his canine — whose name Forbes confirmed is Wendy — and then runs into Hadid in the elevator. The hang ends with a bump-in with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, also a Hilfiger ambassador, and a dinner featuring Tiafoe and Anthony before a street bump-in with the fashion icon himself.
Hilfiger posted some bonus footage of Kelce chilling and cuddling with Wendy on a white couch in one of the hotel’s suites, enjoying a hang-out, which like the ad, is cued to late KISS guitarist Ace Frehley’s 1978 hit cover of “New York Groove.” (Check out the full spot here).
Speaking to Vogue about the pooch, Kelce responded to the reporter gushing about how beautiful the dog is by beaming, “Are you kidding me? She lights up my day.” After the Hilfiger team mentioned wanting to include a canine in the campaign, Kelce said the dog he and Swift recently adopted was the perfect choice.
“We figured, why not her? She crushed it, and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic, too,” Kelce told the magazine. “Those are some of my favorite shots.”
In a statement about the campaign, Kelce added, “Tommy brought us into his world at The Plaza for this, and it doesn’t get more classic New York than that. There’s a magic to this city, and I love that you never know who or what’s around the corner. We had a blast tapping into that unique energy with a cast who truly embody the vibes that make this city so special.”
Rumors about the couple adopting a dog began to bubble up earlier this year — before their wedding at Madison Square Garden on July 3 — with footage appearing to show a white dog that looks like Wendy getting out of one of Swift’s black SUVs. With the addition of Wendy, the pet count in the Swift-Kelce household is now up to four, counting the singer’s three cats, Olivia Benson, Benjamin Button and Meredith Grey.
