Taylor Swift‘s weekend out and about in New York City continued Saturday night (Dec. 28). She was photographed with Travis Kelce in the Meatpacking District, where the two were reportedly seen arriving at private supper club Chez Margaux.

The foundation of the singer-songwriter’s outfit was a mod Fleur du Mal mini dress (Long Sleeve Flared Corset Dress, $495). The flattering stretch jacquard mini features a mock neck, corset seaming and boning, and a flare skirt.

Swift topped the dress with a long, black coat by Simkhai that combines a classic, tailored silhouette with festive sparkle, thanks to its embellished design (Gianni Coat, $995).

Strappy Louboutin sandals with a substantial heel and carefully chosen jewelry, including a pair of De Beers Arpeggia One Line Earrings, rounded out what looked to be a date-night ensemble.

Swift and Kelce’s Saturday night out followed a Friday dinner with the pop star’s longtime friend and producer Jack Antonoff and his wife, Margaret Qualley. Both couples were photographed outside BondST, a NoHo restaurant with Japanese-inspired cuisine.

Swift’s post-holiday social outings in New York come after she wrapped her record-breaking Eras Tour, which grossed $2 billion, earlier this month in Vancouver — and after spending some time in Kansas City, Mo., where she visited patients at Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital and attended the Chiefs-Texans game at Arrowhead Stadium.

Swift’s December also brought 10 Billboard Music Awards, including Top Artist. She’s the most celebrated artist in the history of the BBMAs, having collected a total of 49 wins so far.

Frank Sinatra returns to the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart for the first time in over a decade, as his holiday compilation Ultimate Christmas climbs 17-10 on the Jan. 4, 2025-dated chart.

The title, which previously peaked at No. 12, reaches the top 10 in its 52nd week on the chart — dating back to its December 2017 debut. This marks the late singer’s first return to the top 10 since August 2012. That month, his 2008 hits package Nothing But the Best returned to the top 10 (re-entering at No. 3 on the Aug. 25, 2012-dated chart) after sale pricing and promotion. Nothing had previously debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the May 31, 2008-dated chart.

Ultimate Christmas becomes Sinatra’s 33rd top 10-charting effort, the most among solo males. The Rolling Stones have the most top 10s, with 38. They are followed by Barbra Streisand (with 34), Sinatra and The Beatles, whom he passes (32).

Another iconic entertainer, Bing Crosby, makes waves in the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200, as his own Ultimate Christmas title jumps 6-3. That marks the late legend’s highest-charting effort since the Jan. 5, 1959-dated chart, when his former No. 1 Merry Christmas ranked at No. 2. Merry Christmas had previously spent a week at No. 1 on Jan. 6, 1958-dated chart.

Sinatra died in 1998 and Crosby passed away in 1977.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Jan. 4, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday, Dec. 31.

Engaged couple Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco shared a loved-up photo over the holiday weekend that shows the two of them kissing on a cozy armchair.

The soon-to-be-married pair look very comfortable in the snapshot — especially Gomez, whose face is hovering above Blanco’s and whose hand is pointing his chin upwards as she comes in for the kiss. The selfie, posted on Instagram, shows the singer-actress dressed in Christmas socks, a wintry, knit hat, and plush, silver snowflake pajamas. One leg is draped across Blanco, who’s in all white and who appears to be leaning on a Hanukkah blanket.

“Hope everyone had a lovely holiday!” Gomez wrote to accompany their sweet smooch.

The picture captures an intimate moment. But based on their apparel, it was probably taken at a party. Snapshots with Gomez and Blanco in the same outfits were posted in a festive slideshow on cookbook author Jake Cohen’s Instagram on Dec. 26, captioned with “Some lonely Jews on Christmas getting lit.”

After announcing her engagement to Blanco earlier this month, bride-to-be Gomez also shared a video of her marquise diamond engagement ring on social media.

“I’ve just dreamed of this moment my whole life,” she said in the clip.

The couple made their romance public in December 2023 after dating for several months. Their professional relationship began in 2019, when Gomez and Blanco, a prolific record producer, collaborated on the track “I Can’t Get Enough” with Tainy and J Balvin. In 2023, the pair teamed up for more music, Gomez’s “Single Soon.”

Mark Ronson is remembering legendary producer Quincy Jones.

In an emotional piece shared with The Guardian on Thursday (Dec. 26), Ronson reflected on his personal experiences working with Jones — who passed away in November at the age of 91 — and the profound impact the music icon had on his life and career.

“Losing Quincy is like a black hole swallowing part of the musical universe,” Ronson wrote. “But his work will live forever, as will his lessons. Keep striving for that deeper knowledge. Always leave space for something bigger than yourself. Because sometimes, magic happens when we get out of the way.”

Ronson opened the tribute by recalling a passage from Jones’ 2001 autobiography, Q, in which the legendary musician describes walking away from a successful career in order to study music theory and composition in Paris.

“Imagine reaching the pinnacle of success, especially as a young Black musician in segregated 1950s America, and saying thanks, but I’m starting over for the sake of chords and harmony,” Ronson wrote. “I fantasize about having that kind of courage.”

“But that’s the peril of holding Quincy as a yardstick,” he continued. “He’s an impossible standard. For producers and arrangers like me, he didn’t just raise the bar; he hid it where no one could reach.”

Ronson also reflected on the years he spent with Jones, particularly when he was engaged to the legendary producer’s daughter, Rashida Jones, in the early 2000s. The two producers also collaborated on the song “Keep Reachin’,” featuring Chaka Khan, for the 2018 Netflix documentary Quincy, directed by Rashida Jones.

“Over the years, he would send me kind notes — he had a particular fondness for Amy [Winehouse] — and we’d often hang out whenever I played the Montreux jazz festival, his beloved stomping ground,” Ronson wrote. “Seeing him there, stage right, seated in his director’s chair — looking every bit the debonair godfather of music, smiling back at you — elicited a wild mix of emotions.”

He added, “The greatest producer and arranger of all time, watching your every move, was utterly terrifying. And yet he only radiated generosity. All he wanted was for you to win, to shine. He had already achieved the unimaginable. Now he existed as something rare and beautiful — a benevolent cheerleader for the wonder of music itself.”

Jones passed away on Nov. 3 at his home in Los Angeles. A 28-time Grammy Award winner, Jones was revered for his groundbreaking work as a producer and arranger on iconic albums, including Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982) and Bad (1987).

Jones was also the guiding force behind the recording of the all-star charity single “We Are the World” in 1985, which rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and featured a star-studded lineup of artists, including Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Billy Joel, Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner and Kenny Rogers.

President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue.

The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk.

“President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case and was written by D. John Sauer, Trump’s choice for solicitor general.

The argument submitted to the court is the latest example of Trump inserting himself in national issues before he takes office. The Republican president-elect has already begun negotiating with other countries over his plans to impose tariffs, and he intervened earlier this month in a plan to fund the federal government, calling for a bipartisan plan to be rejected and sending Republicans back to the negotiating table.

He has been holding meetings with foreign leaders and business officials at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida while he assembles his administration, including a meeting last week with TikTok CEO Shou Chew.

Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral.

He said earlier this year that he still believed there were national security risks with TikTok, but that he opposed banning it.

The filings Friday come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The law was signed by President Joe Biden in April after it passed Congress with broad bipartisan support. TikTok and ByteDance filed a legal challenge afterwards.

Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute, leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court.

The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”

In their brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, attorneys for TikTok and its parent company ByteDance argued the federal appeals court erred in its ruling and based its decision on “alleged ‘risks’ that China could exercise control” over TikTok’s U.S. platform by pressuring its foreign affiliates.

The Biden administration has argued in court that TikTok poses a national security risk due to its connections to China. Officials say Chinese authorities can compel ByteDance to hand over information on TikTok’s U.S. patrons or use the platform to spread or suppress information.

But the government “concedes that it has no evidence China has ever attempted to do so,” TikTok’s legal filing said, adding that the U.S. fears are predicated on future risks.

In its filing Friday, the Biden administration said because TikTok “is integrated with ByteDance and relies on its propriety engine developed and maintained in China,” its corporate structure carries with it risk.
