The very first shot of the 2024 musical reimagining of "Mean Girls" is a vertical frame. Two characters, Janis (played by Auli'i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), film themselves singing a song that sets the stage for the story to follow. They're troubadours for the TikTok set - and this is a "Mean Girls" for a new generation.
The Cady Heron, Regina George, and Aaron Samuels of the original film, released in 2004, had never seen an iPhone - those wouldn't debut for another three years. "Instagram," "Twitter," and "Snapchat" would have sounded like gibberish. Karen was just a name, and Donald Trump was just a business mogul.
Twenty years later . . . well, things are different. We've seen not just a technological revolution, but a cultural one. More Americans have become more aware of how rampant racism and discrimination - from microaggressions to hate crimes - are in this country. And while we...

When Sam Song Li came across the role of Bruce on "The Brothers Sun," he felt like the character was written uniquely for him. In Netflix's new action-packed drama series, Bruce's life is upended when his older brother, Charles (Justin Chien), who turns out to be a Taiwanese gangster, comes to LA to protect their mom, Eileen (Michelle Yeoh). When Li first read the script, he quickly learned he shared a number of "shockingly close" similarities with his onscreen counterpart. Like Bruce, the 27-year-old actor and content creator was raised by a single mom in the San Gabriel Valley, CA, a predominantly Asian American community where the series partially takes place. Similarly, he also dreamed of being an actor and improv comedian, despite his mom's hopes that he'd become a doctor. "I feel like that especially is just really relatable for a lot of Asian Americans,...

The Netflix movie "May December" is heavily inspired by the real-life relationship between Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau, which is probably why its depiction of stereotypes of Asian men feels so close to reality, too. The morally problematic tale takes viewers on a complex journey with troubling racial implications, particularly as they relate to weaponized whiteness and the depiction of Asian masculinity as subservient and childlike.
This highly publicized case, as well as its fictionalized version depicted in "May December," raises a central question: how did the fact that she's a white woman impact not only her ability to groom him - an Asian American boy - but also the public's reaction to the story?
This feeds into the harmful stereotype that Asian men are complacent and obedient.
In "May December," Julianne Moore plays Gracie, the fictionalized version of Letourneau, who began sexually abusing Fualauu when he was her sixth-grade student.

Many popular musicians have created fictional alter egos as a way to explore new sonic avenues that they wish to experiment with. David Bowie had Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, David Johansen had Buster Poindexter, Lady Gaga spent a whole season as Jo Calderone, and the less said about Garth Brooks's Chris Gaines era the better, but it certainly happened. For them, it's a kind of performance art - an expression of their interest in stepping out of their comfort zone and giving the endeavor a theatrical flair as well.
The debate about whether these could be considered merely publicity stunts is valid, but for some artists, there's a true creative desire to inhabit these personas. For Adriana Rivera, a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, it's a culmination of her dream to merge two artistic outputs that have long fascinated and inspired her: music and acting.

Michelle Chubb, also known as Indigenous Baddie on social media, is a model, activist, and public speaker who brings mainstream media's attention to the beauty of and challenges facing Indigenous communities. Chubb is a Swampy Cree member of Bunibonibee Cree Nation, and ahead of Thanksgiving, she shared how many Indigenous communities approach the holiday.
"A lot of us don't respect it as an event to celebrate because of the history," she said, referencing the fact that the narrative of the 1621 Thanksgiving feast has long been dominated by white voices and leaves out the fact that cooperation between European colonists and Indigenous communities was short-lived, giving way to violence and massacres of Indigenous tribes in the years that followed.
Chubb also shared what it was like to grow up Indigenous, how we can all be more respectful of Indigenous communities, and more. Read it all, in her own words, below.

If you're Dominican and were alive during the 1980s and '90s, chances are Juan Luis Guerra's hits became the soundtrack of your life. They'd play at every family function, during long car rides, or at the beach, and he was likely your mami's favorite artist to blast during her Saturday morning cleaning rituals. Throughout his prolific and four-decade career, Guerra has not only reinvented the tropical rhythms of his native Dominican Republic alongside his band 4.40, but he's also reached audiences way beyond just the Dominican community. With 30 million-plus albums sold around the world and more than 20 Latin Grammy wins, Guerra has become a legend in the Latin music space and not just for his poetic lyrics - he's often referred to as the Pablo Neruda of merengue and bachata - but also for never being afraid to innovate or color outside of the lines of what "Dominican music" is supposed to sound like.

Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez still feels the pressure of being a one-man army when it comes to promoting the crown jewel of Somos Arte, his independent creative studio. Since 2016 he's been at the forefront of every campaign surrounding his creation La Borinqueña. The Puerto Rican superheroine has been the star of a series of self-titled graphic novels that have directly tackled cultural topics and current events at the forefront of the island, all through the lens of a superhero yarn. It's an effort that's earned him a humanitarian award at the 2019 Eisner Awards (the comics industry's Academy Awards), collaborations with Hollywood stars such as Rosario Dawson, and crossovers with DC Comics's biggest characters like Wonder Woman. But even with all the accolades, he makes it clear, it's always been an uphill battle.

Last year, Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti" became the first non-English language album to top the Billboard 200. The Puerto Rican Latin trap and reggaetonero also became the most streamed artist on Spotify for the third consecutive year. Latin music revenue exceeded $1 billion for the first time last year, allowing reggaetón, música Mexicana, and other Latin music genres to reach global success. By any and all metrics, Latin music has officially taken over. But the origins of these genres remain up for debate, particularly when it comes to urbano music and its connections to American hip-hop.
"De La Calle," a new docuseries on Paramount+, explores that and more. For over a decade, award-winning journalist Nick Barili - who was born in Argentina but grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area - has wanted to create a documentary that tells a broader story of Latin music, its rich diversity, its connection to American rap music,...

Writer and showrunner Taylor Sheridan is known for creatively exploring and highlighting aspects of American history and culture in his many acclaimed works, ranging from TV series like "Yellowstone" to movies like "Sicario." His most recent project, "Lawmen: Bass Reeves," tells the story of Bass Reeves, a great American legend and Western frontier figure who was the first Black deputy US marshal west of the Mississippi River. In the series, "Selma" actor David Oyelowo plays the role of Reeves alongside a stacked ensemble that includes Dennis Quaid and Donald Sutherland.
The story of Bass Reeves is remarkable: the real figure behind the dramatized series was born into slavery and, according to some reports, managed to capture more than 3,000 outlaws throughout his career as a deputy US marshal, all while enduring the hardships of racism and prejudice in a post-Civil War America. "I think that audiences today need to see stories of triumph,...

If you're Dominican, chances are you're familiar with morir soñando, a simple but refreshingly crisp batida (milkshake) made with milk, orange juice, and vanilla extract. As simple as the three-ingredient drink seems, there's a reason it's given such a poetic name. "Morir soñando" translates as "to die dreaming," and after just one sip, one instantly feels like they've been transported into a dream - even if just for a matter of seconds. That was exactly the feeling Dominican American comedians and real-life besties Sasha Merci and Glorelys Mora, who both grew up in uptown (Merci specfically in the Bronx), wanted audiences to feel when they created their first all-Dominican comedy show back in 2019. On Monday, Nov. 6, the Morir Soñando show took over the historic United Palace, formerly Loew's 175th Street Theatre, in Washington Heights. It was the first show in the New York Comedy Festival to include an all-Dominican lineup,...

On Nov. 2, a brand-new Beatles song called "Now and Then" hit streaming services. It features contributions from all four of the band's members, in spite of the fact that John Lennon and George Harrison died decades ago.
Almost as highly publicized as the song's existence itself is the fact that it was made possible thanks to AI, which was able to split John Lennon's original 1977 demo of the song into individual tracks that could then be mixed and mastered. That work, oddly enough, is one of the more straightforward contributions that AI has made to music so far.
Look around the internet for long enough, and you might stumble upon Lana Del Rey singing Phoebe Bridgers's "I Know the End," Kanye West covering Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me," or Drake rapping to Ice Spice's "Munch." You might also find a...

Valerie June's work can feel like it's being beamed in from somewhere both far off and strangely familiar. That might be because from a young age, she's been channeling wisdom from the world around her, using it to inform her music, then her poetry, and now an innovative new kind of guided journal.
The artist, who is known for her spirituality-infused roots- and blues-tinted folk, has now turned many of the steps on her own decades-long healing journey into a new book called "Light Beams: A Workbook For Being Your Badass Self" ($20), which was released on Sept. 19. It's an interactive book filled with spells, prompts, reflections, and tips on finding peace and connection in a world that can seem dead set on fostering conflict and disconnection.

"Gossip Girl" tells the story of a bunch of wealthy Upper East Siders (and a few Brooklynites) as they deal with drama, romance, and chaos in the Big Apple. The show, which ran from 2007 to 2012, also happened to make much of its young cast into huge stars. Blake Lively, of course, starred as Serena van der Woodsen on "Gossip Girl" and has since gone on to be a prominent A-lister. Penn Badgley, who played the seemingly innocuous Dan Humphrey, now stars as another seemingly harmless (but very murderous) character on the hit show "You." Meanwhile, Taylor Momsen, who played Dan's little sister Jenny Humphrey, transitioned from television into a successful music career after leaving "Gossip Girl"; she currently fronts the band The Pretty Reckless.

Millie Bobby Brown dazzled fans everywhere with her performance in "Enola Holmes 2," which premiered on Netflix on Nov. 4, 2022. Still, the movie left fans with one major question: will there be an "Enola Holmes 3"? It seems like the odds are pretty good, because on Nov. 7, Collider reported that a screenplay for a third installment was in the works.
The news came via an interview with the head of Netflix Film, Scott Stuber, who also praised Brown's performance. "You know, she's such a great homegrown star for us," he told Collider of Brown. "I mean, obviously, 'Stranger Things' is huge for us in that, and watching her grow as an actress . . ." He also hinted at a possible third Enola Holmes movie. "The Holmes IP is weirdly elastic.

Showtime's "The Curse" stars Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder as two newlyweds who attempt to launch a house-flipping HGTV series in the town of Española, Nm. However, their show, and their efforts to start a family, become complicated by the presence of what might just be a curse.
The premise might sound a bit absurd, but it also may ring a few bells if you've ever seen any of television's many, many house-flipping and home renovation shows. From HGTV's "Flip or Flop" and "Property Brothers" to Netflix's "Tiny House Nation" and "Dream Home Makeover," it's clear the public has a never-ending appetite for renovation and real-estate-related television. Meanwhile, Stone and Fielder's characters themselves might bring to mind another famous couple in the televised home improvement business - Chip and Joanna Gaines, who cohosted the HGTV show "Fixer Upper" from 2013 to 2018.

The Nebraska native stars in Issa Rae's "Rap Sh!t" as Shawna - one half of the show's central rap duo and a character she helped create specifically for herself. Before her TV debut, Osman started out as a writer on Netflix's "Big Mouth" and HBO's "Betty," also serving as a cohost on the "Keep It!" podcast. However, Osman's gig on her HBO Max show isn't her first time flexing her creativity.
After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2018, Osman built a following on Twitter a year later from a funny viral video of her rapping about . . . err, pegging. From there, her career took off as she booked her "Big Mouth" job almost immediately after, per Vanity Fair.

In fact, she actually took home album of the year when she was only 20, making her the youngest winner of the award in the show's history.
And that's not the only record she holds. In 2016, she became the first woman to win album of the year more than once for her own solo recordings, and in 2021, she became the first woman to win album of the year three times with "Folklore"'s big win.
The 33-year-old scored four nominations at the 2023 Grammys, including song of the year, best music video, best song written for visual media, and best country song. Though she didn't take home any awards, see Swift's long list of wins ahead.

Flavor Flav is in his Swiftie era. The rapper has formed a surprising yet wholesome bond with Taylor Swift, cheering her on through one of her busiest years to date. Their budding friendship seems to date back to March, when Flav attended the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards proudly wearing a shirt that read, "I come back stronger than a '90s trend," in reference to Swift's "Willow" lyrics. When asked about his outfit choice on the red carpet, he told Billboard, "Love me some Taylor Swift, man, always did." The pair wound up crossing paths later that evening and captured the selfie seen 'round the world. They've been charming the internet ever since.
Flav has consistently shown support for Swift following their first in-person meetup. He spent a not-so-cruel summer attending two of her Eras Tour concerts - and yes, he dressed up in on-theme outfits and traded friendship bracelets with fellow Swifties.

Emma Stone has been one of our favorite actors since she burst on the scene in movies like "Superbad," "Zombieland," and "Easy A." But did you know the "Poor Things" star is also a mom? She and husband Dave McCary welcomed their first child in 2021, not long after their quiet wedding in September 2020. The pair, who first met in 2016 when she hosted "Saturday Night Live," have always been pretty private about their personal lives and their daughter, Louise Jean.
Stone, 35, opened up about her thoughts on building a family in a 2018 interview with her friend Jennifer Lawrence for Elle. "My perspective about kids has changed as I've gotten older," Stone explained. "I never babysat or anything. As a teenager, I was like, I'm never getting married, I'm never having kids. And then I got older and I was like, I really want to get married, I really want to have kids.

The "Shameless" cast have an adorable friendship that has lasted long past the show's final season. The main cast have frequently shared photos of their hangouts online over the years, and they seem to enjoy celebrating holidays together to this day. On Oct. 26, Cameron Monaghan, Ethan Cutkosky, and Emma Kenney - who played Ian, Carl, and Debbie Gallagher, respectively - all appeared together in a TikTok video, seemingly enjoying a Halloween celebration. Kenney dressed as Kris Jenner and captioned the video, "They just got Krissed." Meanwhile, Cutkosky seemed to be dressed in a chef's uniform, a possible reference to his "Shameless" costar Jeremy Allen White's character on "The Bear."
"Shameless" ran for eleven seasons from 2011 to 2021. It follows the Gallagher family through their trials and tribulations on Chicago's South Side, and its huge ensemble cast consists of Emmy Rossum, William H. Macy,...

Emma Stone is pretty private when it comes to her personal life. She doesn't have public-facing social media, she very rarely makes public appearances with husband Dave McCary, and she's never shared any photos of her 2-year-old daughter, Louise. Still, fans do know quite a few things about the "Poor Things" actor's dating history before she tied the knot with McCary, who's a writer and producer.
Perhaps Stone's most high-profile romance was with her "The Amazing Spider-Man" costar Andrew Garfield. Garfield starred as Peter Parker in the superhero films, while Stone played Peter's love interest (and fellow science genius) Gwen Stacy. They first met on set in 2010 and were spotted out and about in late 2011.
They ultimately split in 2015, though it seems the pair are still friends who have a lot of admiration for each other. In 2017, Garfield told Vanity Fair's "Little Gold Men" podcast, "We care about each other...

Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton are one of our favorite low-key couples. The pair, whose engagement was confirmed in March 2022, are also parents to a toddler they welcomed last year.
Back in July, Hiddleston and Ashton made a rare public appearance at the Wimbledon men's final, where they happened to sit in front of Ariana Grande and Andrew Garfield. Shortly after, Ashton explained to Entertainment Weekly that Hiddleston gave her great advice when it came to joining him in the MCU. Ashton stars in this November's "The Marvels," and Hiddleston, of course, has appeared in the Marvel films for years as Loki.
"It led to some incredible conversations about his experience being part of this franchise for over a decade," Ashton told EW about joining the franchise with Hiddleston. She said that he gave her practical advice, like making sure her costume has "enough zippers to go to the bathroom.

Shawna and Mia are finally getting their first taste of fame in "Rap Sh!t," though they're still fighting for a spot on their own tour. In this exclusive sneak peek at season two, the estranged high school-friends-turned-rap duo (played by KaMillion and Aida Osman) get good news from their manager, Francois (Jaboukie Young-White), regarding their first-ever tour - but there's a catch. Despite their viral success and thousands of presale tickets, the pair are informed they can't perform their biggest hit, "Seduce and Scheme," because of their tour mate, headliner Reina Reign.
"That is not on the set list," he tells them and their other manager, Chasity (Jonica Booth). He adds, "We really only got room for 'Tongue,'" referring to their remixed track with Reina.
Confused about the lack of stage time, Shawna asks, "What, they can't give us 10 minutes? We have two songs."

Jennette McCurdy hasn't always made space for her more difficult feelings.
"I realized I had so much judgment around my emotions, which just made it more difficult to actually accept them and process them," she tells Popsugar. "I had so much self-loathing around difficult emotions because of thinking that there were only a few acceptable ones. I thought, 'You're supposed to be happy and grateful all the time. That means you're a good person.' So I would just pretend to be that, and if I felt anything else, I'd punish myself."
Over the years, the author, whose raw and powerful memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died," has spent more than 60 weeks as a New York Times bestseller since its publication in August 2022, has realized that berating herself for having strong feelings didn't exactly work for her. Now, she's making space for her emotions in a...

Britney Spears's memoir is both a horror story and a cautionary tale. There's a lot to take away from it, but at its core, it's a story about a woman whose bodily autonomy was essentially stripped from her at a young age - by her parents, by the media, by her partners, and by the world at large.
"The Woman in Me" is definitely Spears's story, but it's also a story that's been repeated in various forms many times before. After reading it, sitting in a state of semi-shock while digesting the horrors Spears went through, I found myself thinking of Andrew Dominik's nightmarish 2022 film, "Blonde," which portrays a dramatized version of Marilyn Monroe's life. That film arguably exploited Monroe's legacy and repeated some of the same mistakes it tried to criticize, but it also tells the story of a woman whose appearance was commodified...

Apple TV+'s "The Buccaneers" is based on an unfinished Edith Wharton novel of the same name. Its large cast includes Kristine Froseth, Christina Hendricks, Alisha Boe, and Mia Threapleton and traces a group of young, wealthy American women as they venture across the pond looking for high-class husbands in the 1870s, focusing on the clash between British and American culture and the lives of the young women of that era.
The show's protagonists and their lives are entirely fictional. However, their tale is based on a real phenomenon that occurred during the late 1800s and early 1900s, when many young American women, flush with new money, traveled across the sea in order to find aristocratic British men to marry. According to History, between the late 19th century and the 1940s, many American heiresses traveled to Britain, offering their wealth to British aristocrats who possessed status, class, and titles but...

Samuel L. Jackson and his wife, Latanya Richardson Jackson, have been together for more than half of their lives. The couple began dating in 1970 shortly after meeting each other in college. They tied the knot a decade later in 1980 and welcomed their daughter, Zoe Jackson, in 1982. While many celebrity pairs have come and gone over the years, Samuel and Latanya have managed to overcome the odds and become one of the longest-lasting couples in Hollywood.
In a March 2022 interview with People, Latanya said she and her husband are in it for the long haul. "In the beginning, we always said the most revolutionary thing that Black people could do was stay together, raise their children with the nucleus of having a father and a mother, since everybody likes to pretend that that's not the dynamic of the African American family. That it's just children out here being raised by women,...

Jacob Elordi has Elvis fans all shook up with his recent spin as the iconic American singer in Sophia Coppola's "Priscilla." The film, based on Priscilla Presley's 1985 memoir, "Elvis and Me," takes a more grounded approach to the King of Rock and Roll, focusing on Priscilla and their complicated, sometimes enchanting, but sometimes dark relationship. But Elvis fans are burning to know - does Elordi sing in "Priscilla"?
Since the first trailer dropped for "Priscilla," the film and Elordi have been drawing comparisons to 2022's seven-times Oscar-nominated biopic "Elvis." In that film, Austin Butler donned the blue suede shoes and scored an Oscar nomination. Butler sang every one of Elvis's iconic songs used in the film, although for songs from Elvis's later years, Butler's vocals were blended with the original recordings. In the 2019 Elton John biopic, "Rocketman," Taron Egerton sang John's songs unaccompanied. The 2018 Freddie Mercury biopic, "Bohemian Rhapsody,...

"Selling Sunset" has officially returned to Netflix for its seventh season. The beloved reality TV show centered on the LA-based real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group hit the streamer on Nov. 3 with some familiar faces and fan favorites. Bre Tiesi, who made her first appearance in season six, is back again for the latest season, and her love life is still a topic of conversation.
In the season seven premiere, Tiesi claims during a dinner with her "Selling Sunset" costars that she hooked up with "Black Panther" actor Michael B. Jordan. Upon being asked, "Who would you sleep with, celebrity-wise? Who would you pick?," by Chrishell Stause, Amanza Smith replies, "Michael B. Jordan." Tiesi then responds by saying, "I could do that, and I've done that." Though Jordan has not confirmed or denied Tiesi's claims, the revelation has led many to wonder if the real estate agent actually did hook up with the actor.

Elvis Presley became an instant heartthrob when he rose to fame in the 1950s. Fans couldn't help but swoon over his sultry voice, natural on-stage charisma, and good looks. He even won over the hearts of so many women in Hollywood. In fact, he was known to be such a womanizer that several of his relationships overlapped.
Most notably, Elvis was in a 14-year relationship with Priscilla Presley, who was the only woman the singer ever married. The couple tied the knot in May 1967 and welcomed their daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, in February 1968, before getting divorced in October 1973. Elvis and Priscilla's relationship has been at the center of many projects about the rock star, including the 2022 film "Elvis," as well as the new movie "Priscilla."

I don't remember the first time I watched "Elf." I do not think this is uncommon. Often, the most beloved Christmas movies are those that play on TV the most often, and "Elf" is certainly a cable staple. But that's not the real reason it's one of the best Christmas movies of all time. "Elf" is a magical mixture of earnestness and silliness, New York City and the North Pole, and a bunch of actors who give their massive talents to make a classic, eminently lovable film.
"Elf" was released 20 years ago, on Nov. 7, 2003. Directed by Jon Favreau and written by David Berenbaum, it tells the story of Buddy the elf, who is in fact not an elf at all but a human. Will Ferrell stars as Buddy, and it's one of his best performances. Ferrell often plays characters who aren't as smart as everyone else, but here, he does...

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian's whirlwind romance came as a surprise to most, but the very foundation of their relationship was building years before they began dating. The Blink-182 drummer and the Poosh founder met in the mid-2000s, when Barker was dating Paris Hilton, whose assistant happened to be Kim Kardashian at the time. "Kim was Paris's assistant," he told Us Weekly in 2015. "She got all of Paris's belongings together wherever we traveled."
Barker's relationship with Kourtney Kardashian was strictly platonic until things turned romantic during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. After making their relationship Instagram official in February 2021, the couple haven't been shy about showering each other with love and packing on the Pda.
In May 2022, the couple officially tied the knot, and a year later, Kardashian announced that she and Barker were expecting their first child together after months of IVF treatments. And now, their baby is finally here!

While this summer's "Love Island" saw Jess and Sammy take the crown, the unofficial queen of the show was arguably runner-up, Whitney Adebayo. The London-based Islander won audiences over with her no-nonsense approach to love and friendship, and is taking her new-found fame in her stride.
Not only is she determined to be her authentic self on her social channels, but she's rebranding her successful wig business, launched her own show on YouTube, and is still successfully in a relationship with fellow Islander Lochan Nowacki four months on.
"It's a big transition for both of us because we're very low-key," she tells Popsugar as we sit down for a chat to catch up on all things in Whitney's world. "We're basically on the same journey, but different journeys." Her bond with Lochan has proved any skeptics wrong, as the two often share cute social media clips as they navigate life outside of the villa.

If we've learned anything about Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker over the years, it's that he loves tattoos and his kids. With their rock-star dad in the spotlight for much of their childhood, Travis's older kids, Landon and Alabama, and their stepsister, Atiana, haven't had the most conventional upbringing. And this month, Travis and wife Kourtney Kardashian Barker welcomed their first child together, expanding the family ever more.
For his part, Travis has made it known since the beginning that his family is his number-one priority. The musician even bought a home near their school when he and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler were separating, so the kids would have a home base. "I bought a home that's very close to my children's school, so when she's with the kids, she's there; when I'm with the kids, I'm there. There's no making them travel back and forth to different houses," he...

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes's newfound friendship is blossoming into something sweet. The new gal pals have gotten close fast since Swift's rumored romance with Travis Kelce seemingly began back in September, which is also when the girls' game-day hangouts started. Luckily for us, we've gotten front-row seats to their bond over the past few weeks.
The "1989" singer, 33, and the wife of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28, were first photographed together at the Chiefs's face-off against the New York Jets on Oct. 1. The duo cheered their men on from the stands as they stood next to stars like Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Hugh Jackman. However, a source told People that Swift and Brittany also grabbed dinner the day before in New York City with Lively, Swift's other good friend Sophie Turner, and other girlfriends.
"They dined in a private room. Everyone had a blast," the insider said.

Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler have a bond like no other in Hollywood. Their friendship dates back long before they costarred in "Murder Mystery" and its 2023 sequel on Netflix, as the actors first met at a deli and bonded over french toast in the early '90s. "We were friends before 'Friends,'" Aniston said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in 2019, reflecting on her and Sandler's initial hangout more than 30 years ago. "We must have been like real family in another life."
The longtime pals famously played love interests in 2011's "Just Go With It," and the following year, Sandler spoke at Aniston's Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony, cracking jokes and declaring, "I love this girl. My wife loves this girl. The entire world loves this girl."
