Summary

Swiftie skeptics, this one's for you. Caroline successfully pulled Blake into the buzz around Taylor Swift’s album drop on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s pod, “New Heights”. And spoiler alert: the theories came true after a 10 PM Instagram tease from Miss Swift herself. Doesn’t she know we’re in bed by then? In other sporty-ish news, Cristiano Ronaldo gifted his now fiancée Georgina Rodriguez a rock – not a ring – and Tom Brady edges closer and closer to a mid-life crash out after seeing his statue outside of Gillette Stadium.
