The TV creator and writer recently cast Taylor Swift‘s NFL champion boyfriend Travis Kelce in his latest FX series, Grotesquerie, as the flirty but helpful hospital employee Ed “Eddie” Laclan. While chatting with The The Hollywood Reporter recently, Murphy revealed that he’s reached out to Swift’s team a number of times over the years to work together.
“I’ve talked to Taylor’s people about various things through the years, and all I will say is that I think she’s great and if she ever has time to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat,” he said. “I think she’s one of the greats.”
Murphy even made a subtle nod to Swift in episode three of Grotesquerie, in which Kelce and Niecy Nash-Betts’ characters hop into a red getaway car, in reference to Swift’s Red album and “Getaway Car” song.
Swift is no stranger to acting, having appeared in films like 2010’s Valentine’s Day, 2019’s Cats and 2022’s Amsterdam.
In Grotesquerie, which airs on Thursdays, “a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community,” per the description. “Detective Lois Tryon [Nash-Betts] feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of Sister Megan. However, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.”
Grotesquerie is the latest in Kelce’s growing list of entertainment gigs off the Kansas City Chiefs’ field. Prime Video confirmed earlier this year that Kelce is slated to host its upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spin-off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? The series will feature contestants using celebrities to help with 11 elementary-school-level questions as they compete to win $100,000.

Harry Styles is the latest One Direction member to share a heartbreaking message following the untimely death of Liam Payne at just 31 years old.
Alongside a photo of Payne sitting on a stage, singing to a massive arena crowd, Styles wrote via Instagram on Thursday (Oct. 17), “I am truly devastated by Liam’s passing. His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it.”
The message continued, “Liam lived wide open, with his heart on his sleeve, he had an energy for life that was infectious. He was warm, supportive, and incredibly loving. The years we spent together will forever remain among the most cherished years of my life. I will him always, my lovely friend. My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who knew and loved him, as I did.”
The statement comes in addition to one from Louis Tomlinson, a post from Zayn and a joint message by the surviving members of One Direction, in which they wrote, “In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever.”
Payne died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at around 5:07 p.m. local time after sustaining multiple injuries from a three-floor fall, a recent preliminary autopsy confirmed. Local authorities believe he was not sober at the time and found substances that appeared to be narcotics and alcoholic drinks in his room after they arrived at the scene. In the moments leading up to the star’s death, a hotel manager called 911 to report that a guest was “overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol” and “destroying [their] entire room”; by the time police got there, Payne had already fallen from the balcony of his room and died due to his injuries.

BTS member Jin is the latest K-pop star to carry the torch for lifestyle brand Alo Yoga as the latest global ambassador. The “Butter” singer joins Jisoo as the faces for the athleisure company while also spotlighting his passion for mindfulness and expanding the brand’s partnerships with K-pop artists.
ARMY fans can add Jin’s favorite styles from Alo Yoga into your own loungewear rotation — especially if you’re looking for some BTS-approved styles while you wait for the artist’s debut solo album to drop. More picks from “The Astronaut” singer are expected to be released throughout 2025 as part of a year-long partnership.
The announcement came on Thursday (Oct. 17) teasing the upcoming campaign with the 31-year-old in the spotlight in addition to rallying excitement for the upcoming opening of the brand’s first flagship store in South Korea’s Dosan Park, which is slated to open in 2025.
Jin
Below you can shop some of Jin’s favorite pieces from Alo Yoga.
Layer up in style with Alo’s new statement hoodie featuring a built in hood and abstract pattern. The front comes with a main pocket to store your phone or keep your hands warm while the contrasting colorway will turn your loungewear into the ultimate piece of streetwear.
Complete the set with the matching sweatpants that feature the same swirled pattern of contrasting shades. You can also look forward to kicking your feet up without feeling restricted as the waistband and ankles have an elastic band that’ll form to your skin comfortably.
For an everyday look you can throw on this T-shirt with the added bonus of ventilation and moisture-wicking. While it can easily be sported with your jeans while you’re out with friends, the shirt was made to adapt to your lifestyle being lightweight enough to wear on a run or hardcore strength circuit.
Keep your feet supported without ditching style in these simple athletic sneakers from Alo. The style comes in a double black colorway (Jin’s preferred shade) with a breathable upper and rubber sole for added traction.
The partnership made sense for both Jin and Alo Yoga as the two share similar values.
“What I really like about Alo Yoga is how they effortlessly combine comfort, style and purpose while also emphasizing both physical and mental well-being, which is something I deeply value,” he said in a press release. “Their approach to mindful movement really resonates with me — it’s not just about what you wear, but how it makes you feel and encourages you to be present. Alo creates pieces that allow me to move freely, whether I’m working out, rehearsing, or just relaxing, and their studio-to-street designs make it easy to transition between different parts of my day.”

Ms. Rachel, the YouTube creator of toddler learning videos who’s welcomed 11.9 million subscribers to her channel — John Legend and Chrissy Teigen among them — has a collaboration out with Legend. The pair sing together on a super-sunny rendition of Legend’s “L-O-V-E,” a track from his album My Favorite Dream (Republic Records: Kids & Family). Ms. Rachel’s feature in the performance places a face that’s familiar to preschoolers into Legend’s new video for “L-O-V-E.”

“Ms. Rachel is a superstar in our home,” Legend said in a statement about the YouTube star. “My babies are thrilled to see me performing with her. It was an honor to sing with someone whose work has meant so much to my own children and millions of families around the world.”
He added that “‘L-O-V-E’ is one of my favorite tracks on this album because it’s about celebrating our shared humanity, and I wanted to share that message with someone who brings joy and learning to so many families.”
My Favorite Dream, which was released on Aug. 30, is Legend’s collection of sing-alongs and lullabies for children. The dad of four was inspired by his own family on tracks including “L-O-V-E,” “We’re a Family” and “Always Come Back.” The album version of “L-O-V-E” even features wife Teigen and two of their little ones, Luna and Miles, on background vocals.
The album also includes Legend’s smooth versions of classics like “You Are My Sunshine.”
Ms. Rachel, an educator with master’s degrees in early childhood development and music education — and whose successful YouTube show was inspired by her own son — commented, “It’s been a joy to collaborate with John on this beautiful version of ‘L-O-V-E.’ I’ve been a fan of his music for years, and being part of this reimagined track from his children’s album feels really special. Music has a unique way of bringing families together, and I hope this rendition inspires connection and learning for both children and parents.”

Liam Payne’s Family Speaks Out After Singer’s Death: ‘We Are Heartbroken’
The “Pillowtalk” singer took to Instagram on Thursday (Oct. 17) to share a photo of himself laying in Payne’s lap as the two then-teenagers take a nap. In the accompanying statement, he says he hopes Payne can “hear” him, as he’s been “talking out loud” to the late start over the past day. “I can’t help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives,” he continued. “I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life. When I was missing home as a 17 yr old kid you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and I was loved.”
He added that while they “butted heads” on occasion, he “secretly respected” his opinions. “Even though you were younger than me you were always more sensible than me, you were headstrong, opinionated, and gave no f—s about telling people when they were wrong,” he wrote. “When it came to the music Liam, you were the most qualified in every sense. I knew nothing in comparison, I was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional. I was always happy to know, no matter what happened on stage we could always rely on you to know which way to steer the ship next.”
Malik continued, “I lost a brother when you left us and can’t explain to you what I’d give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly and tell you that I loved and respected you dearly. I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever, there is no words that justify or explain how I feel right now other than beyond devastated. I hope that wherever you are right now you are good are at peace [prayer hands emoji] And you know how loved you are.”
“Love you bro,” he ended his message, which you can read in full here.
Malik’s statement comes in addition to one from Louis Tomlinson and a joint message by the surviving members of One Direction, in which they noted that they are “completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing.” The group statement continued, “In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever.”
Payne died around 5:07 p.m. local time after sustaining multiple traumas and hemorrhages from his fall, a recent preliminary autopsy confirmed. Local authorities believe he was not sober at the time and found substances that appeared to be narcotics and alcoholic drinks in his room after they arrived at the scene. In the moments leading up to the star’s death, a hotel manager called 911 to report that a guest was “overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol” and “destroying [their] entire room”; by the time police got there, Payne had already fallen from the balcony of his room and died due to his injuries.

In a recent interview with ABC News, the 21-year-old Latin music star spoke out about the rumor mill her relationship set into motion over the summer when the couple tied the knot in July — just two months after the 25-year-old Nodal announced his breakup from Argentine rapper Cazzu, with whom he shares a young daughter.

A Timeline of Christian Nodal & Angela Aguilar’s Relationship
“I don’t really feel like I have to explain anything to anyone,” Aguilar told ABC in the interview, as shared in a clip premiered exclusively by Rolling Stone on Thursday (Oct. 17). “I think that people are being villainized, and I think people are being badly portrayed. I think that they’re not putting our characters where they should be. They don’t even know 5 percent of the story they’re trying to tell, but that’s OK. ‘Cause that’s what sells.”
The “La llorona” vocalist’s relationship with Nodal has indeed left fans with questions. The two artists have known each other for years, having gone on tour together with Pepe Aguilar — Ángela’s father — in 2018 before collaborating on “Dime Cómo Quieras” in 2020. Two years after that, rumors of their romance arose within a week of Nodal confirming his split with Cazzu; by the end of July, they were married.
Cazzu spoke out about her feelings on the matter in June, telling fans on Instagram, “Life is not totally beautiful or totally horrible, nor are people completely 100% good or bad … Now let’s turn the page, let’s live and let live.”
Four months later, Ángela tells ABC News that “all the parties at hand are together and united.”
“We’re all on the same page and no one’s heart got broken,” she added, seemingly alluding to Cazzu. “We have a clear consciousness. We’re all OK, we’re all happy, we’re adults. We know how to handle this situation. What you see on social media is not what it is.”

This year’s outstanding contribution to music award was collected by U.S. pop rock duo Sparks, who used the occasion to announce that they have signed a global deal with Transgressive Records for their next studio album. The as-yet-untitled release, due next year, will be distributed by Firebird Label Services, marking the veteran band’s return to the indie music community after reuniting with Island Records for last year’s The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte studio set.
One of the night’s biggest prizes went to British R&B singer Smith, who won the best independent album award for her 2023 sophomore album, Falling or Flying, released through FAMM. Accepting the award via video, Smith, a 2019 Grammy nominee for best new artist, thanked U.K. production duo DAMEDAME* for their work on the album and her label “for believing in me from all these years ago to now.”
Singer-songwriter Sampha took home prizes for best independent track for last year’s “Spirit 2.0” and best independent video for “Only”; he also performed at the ceremony. Other live performances came from Heavenly Recordings-signed Lynks, punk rock act BEX and Manchester rapper OneDa, who received this year’s one to watch award.
Other prizes given out on the night included independent breakthrough, which went to electronic music producer Barry Can’t Swim (real name Joshua Mainnie), and the public-voted best live performer title, awarded to Pendulum.
Heavenly Recordings was named best independent label, while record shop Drift in Totnes, Devon was crowned the U.K.’s best independent record store. Music Venue Trust co-founders Mark Davyd and Beverley Whitrick were jointly honored as independent music champions for their work supporting grassroots music venues in the U.K.
Prior to Thursday’s ceremony, Afrobeats artist, producer and songwriter Silvastone, who has collaborated with the likes of Popcaan, Sneakbo, Bugzy Malone and Lady Leshurr, was announced as AIM’s 2024 diversity champion in recognition of his community work.
“This community never ceases to amaze me with its collective spirit in celebrating each other’s wins and recognising that we rise highest when we rise together,” said AIM’s interim CEO Gee Davy in a statement.
According to figures released earlier this year from U.K. labels trade body BPI, independently released songs and albums accounted for almost one-third of all music consumption in the U.K. in 2023, with the equivalent of more than 53 million independently released albums streamed or purchased across digital and physical formats. The U.K. is the world’s third-biggest recorded music market in IFPI’s annual rankings behind the U.S. and Japan.

Doechii is serving up some financial literacy for her fans. She’s been tapped by pgLang and Cash App to star in their The Barbershop ad as part of the joint venture’s That’s Money campaign, which arrived Thursday (Oct. 17).
The Top Dawg Entertainment rapper was minding her business getting braided when an annoyed customer voiced their frustrations to comedian Exavier TV — playing the role of a barber — about a quick flip of cash not working out.

Doechii Says Tradition in Hip-Hop Is Important, First Rap Song Was a Diss Track
“In the beginning, everyone had a plan for my money, but then I realized I had to do my own thing,” she began in the clip. “Don’t get me wrong, I want to monetize my career, but at the same time I don’t wanna be making moves that require me to do too much. I just want to put the money to the side, not have to worry about it, but still know that it’s growing.”
Doechii then kicks some knowledge about interest and having “free money” work for you on its own without even paying it any mind.
“I’m at a place now where I’m starting to make a budget and set financial goals for my future,” the Florida rapper said in a statement. “I think it’s so important to be honest with each other when we talk about money, which is why I’m excited to be part of this campaign and share what’s been working for me.”
Calmatic directs the clip — he’s worked with LeBron James, Kendrick Lamar and McDonald’s creatively to name a few in the past — which progressively zooms out of the barbershop to the point it’s a small block lodged into a white screen.
“What I loved most about this project was the opportunity to essentially describe to the audience what ‘interest’ is in one of the most raw and straightforward ways I’ve ever seen in financial advertising,” the Los Angeles native said in a statement, “Interest is one of those words that you hear over and over but don’t really know exactly what it is.”
Kendrick Lamar lent Doechii the ultimate cosign when deeming her “the hardest out” with a post to his Instagram Story on Thursday.
Look for another iteration of That’s Money to launch later in 2024. On the music side, Doechii delivered her critically-acclaimed Alligator Bites Never Healmixtape in August, which reached No. 117 on the Billboard 200.
