Football is back, and for me that means Taylor Swift is back at the Kansas City Chiefs games supporting boyfriend Travis Kelce. What happened at the game? No idea! But I do know what she wore and whom she did (and didn't) sit next to. Let's get into it.
Swift showed up at the game in a denim Versace bustier. (Something tells me she was the only one there wearing a denim bustier at the game.) She matched it with denim shorts, thigh-high Giuseppe Zanotti boots, and a ton of gold jewelry. You know, casual.
During the game Swift sat next to Kelce's mom, Donna. The pair could be seen hugging and cheering as touchdowns were made other and football related things I'm not so sure about. But people quickly noticed who Swift wasn't sitting next to: Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The two sat in different suites, and TMZ reports that politics might be the reason why. As of late Brittany has publicly liked social media posts from former President Trump and his campaign. While Swift hasn't endorsed a candidate, it's fair to assume she's not going to endorse Trump after previously accusing Trump of "stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism."
Who won the game? I think the Kansas City Chiefs? (Googles frantically.) Yeah, they won! See, you get pop culture news and sports news here!
OK, here's what else is poppin' in the world of pop culture...

Lots to watch this weekend! Since we're dealing with insane heat here in Los Angeles, I will be camped out at the movie theater for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. While I'm not there, I will be at home watching Nicole Kidman in Netflix's The Perfect Couple. Also, Peacock has Fight Night: Million-Dollar Heist, which is worth a watch. And yes, on Sunday I will be tuning in to Chimp Crazy on Max.

Carrie Coon is having a moment, even though you may not recognize her. "It may be the age I am, but it's also I don't present in the world like any kind of film star." The Emmy-nominated star of The Gilded Age will next be seen in Netflix's His Three Daughters (September 20).
"The relationships feel real, the dynamics feel believable and yet it's still an Azazel Jacobs movie." While Coon was taken by the story of three daughters caring for their ill father, it was working alongside Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen that sealed the deal. "I immediately signed on when I heard their names."
While her family thinks of her as "lighthearted," she often plays, "high-strung, anxious people." "I'm not afraid of theatricality on camera. I love a big, bold, truthful performance. I don't feel like you always have to be small for camera. And sometimes, frankly, I think it's really boring." While she's "grateful no one ever recognizes me," that could change soon with the third season of The White Lotus. For now, Coon says things are as they should be. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
