Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce on August 26, a timing that prompted questions about intent and media strategy. She released new versions of The Tortured Poets Department last summer and once campaigned for an Oscar for a music video, showing a pattern of managing attention. Page Six confirmed the engagement occurred "a couple weeks ago," intensifying questions about why the announcement followed Blake Lively's birthday. Other entertainment moments included Lana Del Rey confirming her country album Stove for January, the teaser for Bradley Cooper's Is This Thing On?, Addison Rae tour videos, Michael Chernus's first look as John Wayne Gacy, and Slow Horses showrunner noting a single Gary Oldman fart in season five.
That Taylor Swift likes to dominate a media cycle is no great surprise. She spent last summer releasing new versions of The Tortured Poets Department in order to stay ahead on sales, and she once campaigned for an Oscar for a music video. She likes attention - that's fine and not yet a crime in the United States of America. Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce on August 26 and the timing felt ... auspicious.
The Is This Thing On? Trailer The teaser trailer for Maestro Bradley Cooper's third film, Is This Thing On?, popped up this morning, featuring its director in a supporting role looking suspiciously like Marc Maron. Swift is longtime pals with both Cooper and his girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, so it's likely she at least sent one of them a text apology for overshadowing the news.
