Even Mamdani Wants You To Calm Down About Taylor Swift's Wedding

Taylor Swift’s wedding has been a lightning rod of controversy because the internet constantly needs something to complain about. Heck, I did it just the other day about a Star Wars. Welcome to my glass house! While there are some legitimate gripes, New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani is shutting down one avenue of criticism, which is a bold move considering the chronically online portion of his voter base thinks Taylor is the Antichrist. According to Mamdani, Taylor and Travis Kelce covered the bill for the Madison Square Garden permit and police response. Take it from your boy: The city is good here. (Mediaite)

Speaking of marriages, Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer made a whole movie together, and they didn’t break up. That’s no small feat. (Lainey Gossip)

Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff were not built to last though. (Celebitchy)

VP Couchbang III had quite the week. (Wonkette)

From Jen: Actor Anthony Hopkins is also a composer and is releasing an album. The first single is available today. (YouTube)

Ariana Grande bailed on American Horror Story. (Variety)

Credit where credit is due: Taylor Sheridan talks a big game, but he backs it up. (The Wrap)

From Nate: Goofy hick Charley Crockett hired and then fired doo-wop couple Twin Temple after realizing they were Satanists. With songs like “Lucifer My Love” and “Let’s Have A Satanic Orgy” it’s not like they were hiding it. Fortunately, Jack White came to the rescue. (Loudwire)

J.K. Simmons still hasn’t met Tom Holland. (Rolling Stone)

Netflix is looking into live TV channels, that thing that it broke. (Vulture)

From Andrew:

I keep thinking about this Alex Ross painting of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that is, for some reason, also the cast of 30 Rock
