Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting married at Madison Square Garden? What we know

Reports are swirling about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce possibly getting married at New York's Madison Square Garden. Nothing has been publicly confirmed by the couple, but the New York Times reports they are planning a small gathering there July 2 followed by a larger event July 3. The Associated Press has been unable to independently confirm those details. Public records show the city issued permits for loading and unloading theatrical materials at the arena during that time period. A company that does red carpet events also applied for a permit to set up a canopy outside. Some believe it might be a smoke screen to distract from their real plans.

The sounds of Dua Lipa interrupt Portugal coach Roberto Martínez's World Cup news conference

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — A special guest crashed Portugal coach Roberto Martínez’s news conference Friday: Grammy winner Dua Lipa. Her sound, anyway. Speakers inside the interview room at the stadium started blaring some of Lipa’s songs for a few minutes in the middle of Martínez’s availability session. It wasn’t totally clear why — some wires got crossed, evidently, during a rehearsal happening inside the stadium — but nobody seemed to mind that it happened.
