Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce flew from Kansas City to New York on Friday, and they were out and about throughout the weekend. They attended a wedding on Saturday, and then they unexpectedly turned up at the US Open men’s final, where Italy’s Jannik Sinner beat the snot out of American Taylor Fritz. Taylor is not a regular at tennis matches, and judging solely from the photos and videos of Taylor and Travis, she looked pretty drunk for much of the match. The US Open’s signature drink is the Honey Deuce, and she looked like she had several.

The bigger story is that Travis and Taylor were joined by an unpleasant guest, and no, I’m not talking about Travis’s unfortunate Gucci bucket hat. Patrick and Brittany Mahomes joined them in the VIP suite, and it appears that the Mahomeses probably flew into New York with them, possibly even on Taylor’s private plane. At last Thursday’s Chiefs game, Brittany and Taylor sat in separate suites, and many Swifties hoped that Taylor was distancing herself from Brittany after Brittany had made it abundantly clear that she’s a huge supporter of Donald Trump. But no, Taylor and Brittany were hugging and loving on each other at the men’s final. Taylor is totally fine with being this friendly with a Trump supporter.

I’ve been giving Taylor the benefit of the doubt for weeks, believing that she was in a tricky position given Travis and Patrick’s relationship. But I’ve run out of excuses for her. This coziness with a moron MAGAt plus her refusal to shut down Donald Trump’s AI “Swift endorsement” plus her absolute silence on the election in general? Nah.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 4:15
I watched Thunder Force on Netflix and loved it. Chandra had to subscribe to ESPN+ due to DirectTV’s feud with Disney. She is watching In the Arena with Serena Williams. You can listen below or on YouTube!

Royals: Minute 4:15 to 21:00
The last time we recorded the Sussexes had arrived in Colombia. They pulled off that trip like professionals and the optics were amazing. Colombia’s Vice President Francia Marquez said that Harry and Meghan’s visit really highlighted tourism. We heard that it only cost Colombia less than $60,000 to provide security for them. The Sussexes did a great job making photos available to agencies. Emily Andrews let it slip that Buckingham Palace had talking points about this trip.

King Charles went to Southport last week to visit the families of children who were murdered in a knife attack. Charles has been staying in Scotland at his smaller home, Birkhall, while other members of the family stay at Balmoral. Kate was seen headed to church there on August 25th. There was a story in GB News that Zara and Mike Tindall were being asked to relieve Prince William and Princess Kate. There’s an undercurrent that William and Kate are incapable of doing their jobs.

Prince Harry made a secret visit to the UK last week to go to his uncle Robert Fellowes’ funeral. Harry stayed at Althorp with the Earl Spencer. You could tell that the Windsors were super mad they didn’t know about Harry’s visit ahead of time. The Windsors are mad at how much the Spencers support Harry.

There’s been a narrative in the British press that Harry wants to come back to the UK to do royal work. It’s clearly coming from William’s side. This narrative has been pushed by William for years. Chandra thinks this storyline is an attempt to distract from what’s going on with Kate.

Toward the end of this month Prince Harry is going to be in New York solo for UN climate week. He’s going to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative. Prince William will not be going to NY on behalf of Earthshot despite pathetically trying to copykeen Harry’s trip last year. We wonder why William and Kate didn’t do any events during the Sussexes’ trip.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Minutes 21:00 to 31:30
This week both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt premiered their movies at the Venice Film Festival. Angelina is starring as opera star Maria Callas in the biopic Maria. She is getting Oscar buzz for that and it’s coming out on Netflix. Braad is starring with George Clooney in the Apple streaming movie Wolfs. It was supposed to come out in theaters but that’s not happening. Brad Pitt made his red carpet debut with Ines de Ramon.

Brad and Angelina are covering People Magazine this week with the title “Brad and Angelina, their 8 year divorce, Can they Finally Move On,” as if Brad’s legal battle against Angelina is mutual. The whole narrative comes from Brad and it’s the same garbage we’ve seen from him for years as he uses legal means to continue to try and punish Angelina for leaving him after he abused her and their children.

Brad Pitt looks pulled and puffy recently. Here’s a link to the Instagram I mentioned about his face lift. Here’s a link to the Tweet I mentioned comparing Pitt, Cruise and Tim Walz. There’s been a shift in public perception about Brad Pitt, especially since Shiloh changed her last name.

Comments of the week: Minutes 31:30 to end
Chandra’s comment of the week is from It Really Is You, Not Me on the post about Justin Theroux’s engagement. My comments of the week are from HeatherC and Indica on Rosie’s post about Oasis potentially adding US dates to their tour. Here’s a link to the story I wrote about seeing The Cure and The Pixies.

Thanks for listening bitches!

The British media has already spent several weeks hyping Prince Harry’s 40th birthday, which is on September 15th. He is a Virgo King, and I appreciate the reminders for his Virgo King status. What I don’t understand is why these people are going Full Stalker and screaming, crying and throwing up about Harry’s birthday and What It Means. The man has lived quietly in Montecito for over four years. He has made it abundantly clear that he does not f–k with 99.9% of the people he left behind in 2020. Why did the Daily Mail send their most unhinged columnist Jan Moir to Montecito just to stalk Harry? And why is this piece dripping with bile towards Californians, Americans and celebrities? Moir’s piece- “Inside Harry’s glitzy Montecito world as he turns 40. JAN MOIR visits the enclave and poses the tantalising question: What DOES the Prince do all day?” – is journalistic malpractice. Here are the parts which I found most telling:

Yet for most people, waking up on your 40th birthday inside a nine-bedroom Californian ­mansion with a ­beautiful wife and two adorable children would surely be a testament to success and achieving life goals. A vindication of good fortune and even better planning. So on the morning of September 15, Prince Harry could be forgiven for congratulating ­himself on the road he has travelled to reach this point. As his milestone birthday approaches, he certainly deserves credit for having the courage to change history and his own destiny by ­choosing a future he felt was a better fit for his family and for himself.

Yet although Harry has gained much in the four years since he fled to America to escape the oppression and tyranny of inherited wealth, it could be argued he has lost even more. As he reaches his fifth decade, he is far removed from the life he once knew and has lost touch with many of the friends he once had, while a sinkhole of family estrangement has opened beneath the soles of the grey suede booties he still inexplicably favours.

Perhaps the truth is that the Duke of Sussex had to destroy his past to create his future – but even those sympathetic to his cause wonder if he really had to damage so many other members of the Royal Family in the process. Boom, boom went his relentless artillery, wounding nearest, dearest and even firing a few cannonballs at the monarchy itself. The blames and claims made in his best-selling memoir Spare, along with accusations levelled in various television specials, appalled many in royal circles.

Today, Prince Harry’s reward for this treachery is living the ­American dream, right down to the five-car garage, the azure swimming pool and the orange and lemon trees in his own citrus grove. Yet there must be moments when even he wonders if the juice was worth the squeeze.

Turning 40 is a milestone for anyone, but it brings the Duke to a crucial crossroads. Surely it is now or never to make some kind of amends with his family back home. Not just for himself and his wife, but to provide a rich family heritage for his children, rather than the cold void of ­relatives they will probably never meet and memories they will never have.

In California, this birthday will no doubt be quite different: not just the dishes served but also the ­flavour of the life he lives. How does he fit in, what does he do all day? Surely there are only so many Zoom meetings, chicken feeds and strategy-planning sessions you can fit into an afternoon, along with the school runs and the meditation ­sessions he never skips. Yet amid the sunshine and the palm trees, does Harry ever wonder if he has escaped one prison only to end up trapped in another?

[From The Daily Mail]

What prison is he trapped in now? The prison of well-seasoned food, a beautiful wife, happy children and meaningful, fulfilling work? That kind of prison? They have nothing else to hold over his head. Charles evicted the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage, Charles refuses to make appropriate security arrangements, and Charles and William are sick with jealousy and rage towards Harry and that negativity spills out constantly, putting a target on Harry’s back. Instead of just admitting that Harry is better off and in a happier and healthier situation now, they cry about how his kids need to know the Windsors, or how Harry should want to spend time with the old mates who said racist sh-t about his wife. The crux of it is: why doesn’t Harry miss us like we miss him? Why doesn’t he want to be his father and brother’s scapegoat? Why is he so successful and busy, why does he keep making the Windsors look so dull and lazy?? Anyway, surely the Mail would be better off financing Jan Moir’s trip to Norfolk to investigate WTF is really going on with the royals y’all actually pay for.

Lady Gaga covers the October issue of Vogue to promote Joker: Folie à Deux. The real driving force of the article, though, is about Gaga’s engagement to boyfriend of nearly five years, Michael Polansky. Up until now Gaga hasn’t really discussed Michael publicly. That is not the case here. Gaga clearly decided to make this a sort of debut for them as a couple, fittingly timed to their walking their first red carpet together in Venice last week. The writer takes note of the “Wilma Flintstone-size” diamond that Michael gave her when they got engaged in April “after a day of rock climbing.” Gaga goes into how they were introduced — her mother actually met Michael first, and then told her daughter, “I think I just met your husband.” And significantly, Michael himself is quoted a lot throughout. A few highlights:

Their meet-cute in December 2019 at Sean Parker’s 40th bday bash: “I got invited and I said, ‘I wonder if Michael is going to be there,’ and my mom said yes, and so I went to the party and I kept asking for him and he finally came over to me and we talked for three hours. We had the most amazing conversation.” Polansky tells me that he didn’t make it three steps into the party before someone told him that Lady Gaga was looking for him. “I didn’t know much about her and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect,” he says. “I was struck immediately by her warmth and openness — she was so genuinely curious about what my life was like growing up in Minnesota.”

Michael moved in during the pandemic: They talked on the phone for weeks, “and then we went on our first date,” says Gaga, “and just fell in love. And then COVID hit.” Polansky had been living in San Francisco, but during the pandemic they shacked up together at her Malibu house for well over a year. … “I’d been so focused on my career since I was a teenager. And the gift of that time was that I got to completely focus on my relationship.”

A chance to slow down: “We had this amazing chapter of a weird kind of normalcy,” says Polansky, “that’s essential for any relationship to develop in a real way — taking walks, making coffee, hanging out with the dogs, reading books together…” He adds, “The pandemic was easier on her than you might think. She’s used to being isolated because of her fame and was able to take so much of it in stride. I think she loved the chance to slow down. She’s been operating at an unfathomable level of intensity for years and it’s no secret it had caught up to her.”

She is so in love: “I had never met anyone like Michael. He’s so smart and so kind. And his life and my life are very different. He’s a very private guy and he’s not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other.” … “I kind of thought I was going to have to do this all by myself — forever. And that was really scary. Because it’s a big life. And I don’t think anyone really knows what it feels like unless you’re in it.” Her voice drops into a softer tone. “And I don’t have to do this alone anymore.”

Making sweet music together: “She’s someone who is happiest when she’s creating. It’s one of the qualities I love most about her,” Polansky says. … “Like anyone would do for the person they love, I encouraged her to lean in to the joy of it. On the Chromatica tour, I saw a fire in her; I wanted to help her keep that alive all the time and just start making music that made her happy.” … “Michael and I did that tour together,” she says. “I did it pain-free! I haven’t smoked pot in years. I’ve, like, changed.” She laughs. “…And now, Michael and I are really excited to organize our lives — and our marriage — around our creative output as a couple.”

[From Vogue]

The Lady is in love! I mean, she’s really in love. It’s all so beautiful and delicate (and yes of course mushy and over-the-top) that the only thing making me cringe is a superstitious worry about it all being so public now. I also hope she isn’t giving Michael too much credit for the work she does. Support is great, but she described it as Michael’s idea for her to record LG7 — which the article says comes out in February with a single dropping next month!! — but, she’s a singer-songwriter, how far-fetched was it that she’d make another album? Ok, I’ll stop quibbling there. I highly recommend reading the piece in full as there’s so much more. The writer has been interviewing Gaga since 2010, and the sense of growth and joy he encountered in this meeting was palpable and, to me, encouraging.

Also, a note to the future Mr. Kismet: a “Wilma Flintstone-size” diamond is exactly the right kind of ring for me as well. And one more note: please, no rock climbing.

When the history books are written about Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef, the narrative will begin years before Drake and J. Cole’s “First Person Shooter.” And yet, that song is arguably what changed everything and that’s what crossed the line for Kendrick. In that song, Drake said: “Big as the what? Big as the what? Big as the what? (Ayy)/Big as the Super Bowl.” That was just before he called himself, Cole and Kendrick “the big three.” Kendrick responded with a feature on Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That” and the rest is history… “Euphoria,” “6:16,” “Meet the Grahams” and the song of the summer, “Not Like Us.”

Kendrick won the rap battle, then further cemented the win by organizing The Pop Out concert on Juneteenth. Then on Independence Day, he dropped the (amazing) music video for “Not Like Us.” Since he’s choosing specifically American holidays to make a point, do you think we’ll get an album on Thanksgiving? He’s got an album coming, right?? Well, in any case, Kendrick has chosen another uniquely American holiday for another “pop out” – he’s just been announced as the headliner for the 2025 Super Bowl Half-Time show in New Orleans. That man is going to have millions of people chanting “they not like us” at the biggest televised event of the year.

This is why no one – especially Drake – should ever beef with a Gemini. A Gemini will f–k your sh-t up forever. Kendrick wasn’t lying when he said “headshots for the year, you better walk around like Daft Punk.” Now, that being said… while Kendrick is truly the pettiest king to ever walk this earth, let’s not pretend that his discography isn’t amazing past his Drake-specific disses. Two years ago, Kendrick was part of the Halftime show which featured Snoop, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Eminem. Kendrick did a medley of “m.A.A.d. City” and “Alright.” He has plenty of songs to perform which will bring the house down. But yeah, we’re absolutely getting “Not Like Us.” Probably “Like That” as well.

The Sunday Times had a new exclusive about the Princess of Wales. The piece was written by Roya Nikkhah, one of Prince William’s “favorite” reporters and someone who tends to write authentically from William’s perspective, even when she’s supposedly writing about Prince Harry. It’s just funny to me that three weeks ago, Roya’s big exclusive was “Harry at 40” and it was exclusively sourced from William’s incandescent rage at his brother. So this piece should absolutely be read as “this is what William is saying about his wife.” What’s weird is that… Kate and the Middletons used to go out of their way to get their Middleton-centered narratives out there. There’s been precious little of that this year. Anyway, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. The big exclusive is that Kate probably won’t be seen in public until Remembrance Day in November.

Kate’s restorative summer: Friends say the uncertainty of her good days and bad days “still rings true”. However, after a restful summer spent with the Prince of Wales and their three children at Anmer Hall, their home in Norfolk, the princess is beginning to think about the months ahead.

No on Cape Town, but yes on Remembrance Day: There is no set date for her return to public life, nor any engagements inked into her diary, and Kate will not accompany William to Cape Town in early November for this year’s Earthshot Prize awards. But if she continues to have more “good days”, it is understood she has set her sights on “potentially” joining the King and the royal family at the Cenotaph for the National Service of Remembrance on November 10.

They’re already planning Kate’s Christmas piano recital too: Royal aides are also understood to have started planning for the princess’s annual televised “Together at Christmas” carol service at Westminster Abbey in December. Continuing with some work from home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, Kate has been holding more regular meetings with her private secretary, Tom White, her assistant private secretary, Natalie Burrows, and the Waleses’ communications secretary, Lee Thompson, to plan for the future.

Kate’s long road to recovery: While future plans are under consideration, those close to the princess continue to echo the Kensington Palace mood music that there is “no expectation for her to rush back” to public life. “People know and understand it is a long journey to recovery,” said a friend last week. Any return to official duties for the princess will be “gradual” and will not replicate the King’s busy schedule since he resumed public engagements in April after revealing his cancer diagnosis in February.

William is thankfully more relaxed these days, you guys: Those close to the Waleses point to another hopeful sign of Kate’s progress: William, 42, is noticeably more relaxed of late and has decided to resume a fuller diary of engagements after their summer break. In early March, at the height of frenzied speculation around the princess’s health, a friend spoke of the pressure William felt as he reduced his public duties to support his wife and family. “Privately, he’s dealing with more than he has for a long time in his life and it’s tough to see. He is OK, but it is hard.”

William still hates his brother: Close friends say his mood has now lifted. While tensions with Prince Harry remained at the memorial service for their uncle, Lord Fellowes, in Norfolk last month — where the brothers did not exchange a word — William was all smiles among his allies at the service. “He was in very good form,” said a friend.

William’s beard: After being photographed clean-shaven while driving to church with Kate last month during their stay at Balmoral, some royal watchers have even pointed to the reappearance of William’s facial hair last week, seen during an engagement at the Saatchi Gallery in London, as another sign of his more relaxed demeanour.

Nanny Maria is still around? Since Kate’s diagnosis, the Waleses’ priority has been to protect their children and maintain as normal a home and school life as possible for Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, with the help of their long-standing Norland nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo.

[From The Times]

There have been some rumors flying around online that Nanny Maria left the family’s employ, as did Lee Thompson, so it’s interesting that they both got name-checked by Roya’s “sources.” Obviously, the point of this story was to lavish sympathy on William, not Kate. Poor William has been going through it, William and his bender scruff will see better days. The fact that we’re sitting here in early September and they’re updating us that Kate won’t be seen until November… well, it’s what I expected. The events of this year proved that a princess can’t go completely missing for months with no explanation, but a princess can go missing for months at a time if you give the public just enough proof of life.

Soon after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, we heard that Jennifer still planned to attend the Toronto International Film Festival to support Unstoppable, a film which was produced by Ben. Ben skipped TIFF altogether, so J.Lo went solo at the premiere. Matt Damon went to TIFF as well (Damon also produced the film). While J.Lo and Matt didn’t make a big show of support for one another, they did pose together briefly at the premiere, with other people.

Jennifer did the most to serve FACE and BODY and it worked. The body is incredible, and the face is holding up. Her premiere look was Tamara Ralph – a slinky mirrored dress tied at the sides with ribbons. Jennifer was not wearing a bra or knickers. She’s really going through it. I mean, I love this – she didn’t show up to the premiere looking like a sad sack or like the Widow Affleck. She’s like badda-boom, I’m glamorous and I won’t apologize for it.

Speaking of no apologies, the Hollywood Reporter overheard Jennifer telling Bobby Cannavale that she’s a “bad picker” when it comes to guys and then she said, “It is what it is.” It’s true. She is a bad picker or she has a bad picker. But as I’ve said, the more I hear about the way Ben courted her and went after her, the more I understand why she fell for him again. She really did not expect him to just lose interest and ghost her.

Incidentally, it’s always widely rumored that Matt Damon and J.Lo can’t stand each other. I think there’s always been more nuance to it – back in the Original Bennifer days, I think Matt was more of the opinion that Ben was in over his head and about to crash out, big-time (which was true). But I do believe Matt was somewhat supportive for the second go-around, and Ben and J.Lo socialized with Matt and his wife Luciana. Well, People Mag reported exclusively that Jennifer and Matt “hung out and talked for over 20 minutes at the afterparty, which was held at EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace at The Ritz-Carlton.” She joined Matt and Luciana at a table at the party, and then “Jen and Matt began talking and had a long, deep conversation” according to a source. At one point, their conversation seemed serious and they clasped hands as they spoke. I wonder what Matt thinks about everything that’s gone down this summer.

Last week, former congresswoman Liz Cheney endorsed Kamala Harris. It was not a surprise to me – while Liz Cheney has been a registered Republican all of her life, the Trump administration and the events of January 6th changed her. She was also part of the House’s Jan. 6th committee, and after all of that, she openly despised Donald Trump and his MAGA cult. On Friday, she spoke to the Texas Tribune about her endorsement of VP Harris, and she recommended that Texas voters vote straight Democratic, that they shouldn’t split their tickets. She also announced that her father, Dick Cheney, “will be voting for Kamala Harris…If you think about the moment we’re in, and you think about how serious this moment is, my dad believes — and he said publicly — there has never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is.” Soon afterwards, Dick Cheney released a statement endorsing Kamala Harris:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday that he will vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over fellow Republican Donald Trump in the November election, warning that the former president “can never be trusted with power again.”

“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”

“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris,” he concluded.

Harris, according to a statement from campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon, was proud to receive Cheney’s support and “deeply respects his courage to put country over party.”

In her remarks Friday, Liz Cheney unleashed a torrent of criticism against the Republican presidential ticket, calling Trump “a depraved human being” and labeling him and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, “misogynistic pigs.”

“Every Republican, anybody who’s contemplating casting a vote for that ticket, you know, really needs to think about what they are enabling, what they’re embracing and the danger of electing people who will only honor election results if they agree with the outcome, and who are willing to set aside the Constitution,” she said in Austin. “And you know in the case of Donald Trump, promote, provoke, exploit violence in order to seize power.”

Trump, in turn, wrote on his Trump Social platform that “Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter,” referring to the Cheneys as “Republican in name only.”

[From CNN]

LMAO at “irrelevant RINO.” We’re talking about Dick Cheney here, the man who voted against MLK Day as a national holiday. Darth Cheney, the man who funneled billions in Defense contracts to his Halliburton buddies. Dick Cheney, who shot a man in the face and the man who got shot in the face apologized to Cheney. Dick Cheney who, for better or for worse, refused to be taken out of the White House on 9/11 and instead led the command in the Situation Room. Dick Cheney has been a Republican decades longer than Trump. And it does speak volumes that the Cheneys are being so vocal right now. It makes me wonder if the Bush family is soul-searching. Dubya is reportedly no fan of Trump, but Dubya stopped short of endorsing Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden in 2016 and 2020. I wonder if he’ll say anything now.

On Thursday night, Taylor Swift was in Kansas City for the Chiefs’ first game of the season. I thought she looked great in her Versace ensemble, and she and Travis Kelce left Arrowhead Stadium together. They partied in Kansas City that night, and then they flew to New York and partied some more. They were photographed on Friday night, leaving Lucali in Brooklyn. That’s a pizza place. As for their Kansas City party on Thursday, Page Six had this:

Travis Kelce hosted a party at one of his favorite restaurants in Kansas City, Mo., on Thursday evening to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 1 win — and we’re told Taylor Swift even got a little lit at the bash. Sources tell Page Six exclusively that the Chiefs tight end, 34, let his teammates know in the locker room at Arrowhead Stadium that he was throwing a party at Prime Social and everyone was invited.

We’re told Kelce — who just signed a podcast deal worth more than $100 million — rented out the entire cocktail bar for the event. Sources confirm that Swift, who was seen happily dashing out of the stadium with her beau beside her in a golf cart Thursday, also made it to the party and appeared to have a lot of fun.

“Taylor got a little drunky,” an insider tells us, laughing off how the pop star was able to let her hair down.

We’re told the Chiefs’ soirée was “intimate” as there are seemingly no social media footprints online. However, sources confirm to Page Six that phones were not confiscated, so it appears to have just been a very trusting environment where teammates could let loose with their friends and loved ones.

Aside from Kelce, we’re told that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is close friends with the “New Heights” podcaster, was also present at the party. Wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. also attended.

[From Page Six]

It’s very, very interesting to me that Patrick Mahomes came to the party – no matter what, Patrick and Travis are still tight and they still socialize with each other. There’s no mention of Patrick’s MAGA wife Brittany though. Brittany and Taylor sat in separate VIP suites at the game, but did Brittany skip this party too? She’s pregnant, so that could have been her “excuse.”

Meanwhile, Page Six also reports that Team Swift is very upset that someone leaked her plan to attend Thursday’s game. The Athletic – part of the New York Times – ran an article about Taylor’s planned attendance hours before the game. Taylor thinks there’s a snitch in the Chiefs’ organization, and her high-priced private security is mad too. They have every right to be mad – clearly, there are a lot of terrible people targeting Taylor right now and she wants to be able to move around with much more secrecy.
