Bunnie Xo Addresses Relationship Rumors, Reveals Jelly Roll Has ‘Started Dating’: ‘He Wants to Settle Down’
Bunnie Xo isn’t rushing into a new relationship following her highly public divorce from Jelly Roll, but for him, apparently, that’s not the case.
In a new tell-all episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, the model and host, 46, spoke candidly about her divorce from the“Save Me” singer, 41, and their former relationship and revealed that although she is “not even ready to hook up with a dude,” at this time, Jelly Roll has the exact opposite mindset.
“I'm ready to focus on myself and pour into myself,” Bunnie Xo, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, explained, adding,“[Jelly Roll] is ready to date. He’s rearin’ and ready to go. He’s all hopped up on testosterone, and he’s ready to go.”
“He’s even started dating,” she confirmed of Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord. “His DM’s are open.”
Bunnie Xo also admitted that she’s “fine over here” as a single woman and is even happily encouraging other women to“shoot” their “shot” with her ex-husband. She also took a moment to acknowledge Jelly Roll’s recent lifestyle and physical changes.
"Daddy Roll is probably in his finest season, right? He's feeling himself. He looks so good. He is healthier than he's ever been," she noted. "Don't be scared. Shoot your motherf—ing shot. I will be the ex-wife, okay? And we'll have a great time."
Going a step further in owning her singlehood, Bunnie Xo addressed ongoing dating rumors circulating online. One of them is the made-up social media chatter that she is romantically involved with Nickelback's lead singer, Chad Kroeger.
“I am not dating Chad Kroeger. I am so sorry to Chad and Nickelback for this happening. It’s embarrassing,” Bunnie Xo acknowledged the rumors. “This internet can run with a narrative, and people just f—ing run with it. There’s no Chad and Bunnie Xo.”
As for anyone hoping to slide into Jelly Roll’s DM’s, Bunnie shares, “I think he wants the complete opposite of me... He wants to settle down, but I’m just like, ‘Jay, you just got out of a 10-year relationship. Go play the f—ing field, bro. This is your time to shine.”
News of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo’s divorce broke on Monday, June 15. Jelly Roll filed for divorce in May in Tennessee following 10 years of marriage, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

Country Star Reimagines Classic Album After 10 Years
Country music star Jon Pardi is looking back at the album that changed his career.
Ten years after the release of California Sunrise, the singer expanded an anniversary edition featuring unreleased tracks and renewed attention for one of modern country music’s most influential albums.
Released through MCA on June 12, the expanded anniversary collection includes the album’s original songs along with three previously unreleased tracks from the vault: “Drinkin’ and Dancin’,” “How Did You Know” and “If I Had Another Heart.” The project arrives as the landmark album continues to reach new milestones nearly a decade after its debut.

The anniversary release comes at a historic moment for California Sunrise. The collection is set to become one of only two albums to spend 500 weeks or more inside the Top 50 of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, underscoring its lasting popularity among country music listeners.
View this post on InstagramIn addition, the album’s signature hit “Dirt On My Boots” has earned new recognition with 7x Platinum certification from the RIAA, joining a list of major successes that emerged from the record.
Originally released in 2016, California Sunrise became a breakthrough moment for Pardi. The album reached multi-platinum status and helped establish him as one of country music’s most recognizable voices.
The original album produced a string of successful singles, including “Head Over Boots,” “Dirt On My Boots,” “Heartache On The Dance Floor,” “She Ain’t In It” and “Night Shift.” Its blend of traditional country sounds, honky-tonk energy, and modern production helped Pardi stand apart during a period when the genre was evolving rapidly.
The new anniversary edition allows listeners to hear songs that were recorded during the album’s era but never made the final tracklist. Producers Bart Butler and Pardi returned for the expanded project, while Ryan Gore joined the team for the newly released tracks.
Pardi’s impact on country music has grown steadily since California Sunrise arrived. Born in California, the singer launched his career with the 2012 single “Missin’ You Crazy” before building momentum through a series of successful albums.
Since then, he has released five studio albums, earned multiple No. 1 hits, accumulated billions of streams worldwide, and became a member of the prestigious Grand Ole Opry in 2023.
Now, with California Sunrise (10th Anniversary Edition) available and the original album continuing to break longevity records, Pardi is celebrating both his past achievements and the enduring connection fans have maintained with the music.

1982 Pop-Rock Anthem Behind Iconic L.A. Scene Named One of the Greatest Music-Movie Moments
OK, so, like, do you remember Valley Girl,Martha Coolidge’s, like, totally awesome, way cool romantic comedy from 1983 that stars a super-young Nicolas Cage and totally fetching Deborah Foreman? If not, then, like, oh, my God, you seriously need to revisit it. Like, now.
The film, which is the unofficial originator of “Valspeak” and So-Cal teen culture, was just named one of the greatest needle drops of all time by The Hollywood Reporter. The scene the outlet showcased is the dating montage, starring the film’s star-crossed lovers, Cage’s Randy and Foreman’s Julie, immersing themselves in L.A.’s early-’80s music and club scene. And we, like, absolutely, wholeheartedly agree that it makes for an unforgettable movie-music moment.
Let us set the scene: Randy wants to get Julie out of her preppy Southern California bubble, so he introduces her to Hollywood’s edgier nooks where divey punk clubs are awash in a neon glow. As the love birds goof off playing video games and canoodling, Modern English's “I Melt With You” serenades their carefree chemistry and freedom to be together without the disapproving looks from their respective clans.
“I felt from old movies that the most important thing that you can do in a movie is to play wanting. It isn’t actually the getting of the person that is hot on the screen. It’s the wanting,” Coolidge says in the liner notes of the film, via Film Comment. “It’s the electricity … the eye contact, the reflecting of each other that people do. … I wanted very much for Randy and Julie to really have that great desire and electricity together.”
Coolidge’s choice of music to complement that wanting perfectly encapsulates the youthful, romantic spirit of the film. A definitive post-punk track with dreamy lyrics, it elevates the pacing of the montage and blossoming Romeo-and-Juliet romance suspended in a state of “imaginary grace.”
The whole soundtrack is an ’80s sonic time capsule. Other songs featured on the film’s soundtrack include Psychedelic Furs’ “Love My Way,” Payola’s “Eyes of a Stranger," and Sparks’ “Angst in My Pants.”
Released in August 1982, “I Melt With You” was the second single from the band’s sophomore album, After the Snow. According to founding band member Gary McDowell, via Guitar Player, they wanted “it to be a jangly pop song but with avant-garde verses in it, in a Frank Zappa or Tom Waits sort of vein.”
The track became the breakthrough hit the band needed, yet despite the its massive radio and MTV popularity, it never even broached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, topping out at just No. 76.
Still, it managed to become an enduring classic of both underground alternative scenes and mainstream pop culture, with its status permanently cemented as an iconic '80s love anthem with its inclusion in Valley Girl. Like, for sure.
Valley Girl is streaming for free on Pluto TV.

1984 Song, Considered ‘One of the Most Beautiful Pieces of Recorded Music,’ Was Not an Instant Hit
One of the most recognizable pieces of music today, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen did not start receiving recognition until well after Cohen's original 1984 release.
Cohen wrote the song and claims to have between 80 and 180 different drafts of the track. It reportedly took him over five years to complete the song we know today. One account recalled during a writing session, Cohen broke down while writing "Hallelujah" and ended up on the floor in his underwear, banging his head on the ground over piles, and piles of notebooks.
When the song was finally completed, Columbia Records actually ended up rejecting it. Cohen ended up recording it independently and releasing it on his 1984 album, Various Positions.
"Hallelelujah" never reached the Billboard charts in Cohen's lifetime.
Since 1991, the song has been covered by more than 300 different artists. In 1991, singer John Cale covered the song for his album I'm Your Fan, which was Leonard Cohen tribute album. Cale did record and even perform the song with different lyrics than the original, which Cohen took as inspiration for future live performances of the song.
Three years later drawing inspiration from Cale's cover, American musician Jeff Buckley covered the song for his only full studio album, Grace. Ten years after Buckley's death in 2007, the song was released as a single. The cover was critically acclaimed, with Rolling Stone even going so far as to list it among the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time." EGOT winner John Legend went so far as to call the track "one of the most beautiful pieces of recorded music I've ever heard."
Cale's version of the song ended up being used in the 2001 film, Shrek. A cover by Rufus Wainwright appeared alongside Cale's on the soundtrack for the animated feature.
In 2016, following Cohen's death, interest in the song spiked like never before. Because of the renewed interest in the song, it entered the Billboard Top 100 for the first time ever.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jen Affleck Expecting Baby No. 4 With Husband Zac
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Jen Affleck is pregnant!
The reality star, 27, revealed the news via Instagram on Thursday, June 18. She and her husband, Zac Affleck, 29, have been married since 2019 and share kids Nora, 4, Lucas, 2, and Penelope, 11 months.
"Chapter Four. 🤍," Affleck caption a carousel of photos showing off her baby bump.

The pregnancy announcement comes amid fan speculation that Jen and Zac's marriage is on the rocks. On Mormon Wives, the couple have been open about their past marital trouble, and the couple even separated after filming season 1 of the series before later reconciling.
In April, speculation ramped up again after Jen posted a TikTok without her wedding ring where she tearfully opened up about her "next chapter."
“In the last two to three years, so much has happened,” Jen said at the time. “Between two babies, reality TV show, Dancing With the Stars, moving, identity, faith, life crisis, I’m very hopeful for this next chapter of my life.”
“There are parts of me that I feel like have healed, and then there are parts of me where old patterns have shown back up," she continued. "I’ve been hoping through my vulnerability that I can help heal myself. I’m hoping that in this next chapter of my life I can find my faith again … while also holding space for who I am at my core and not trying to change that.”
The Dancing With The Stars alum then explained that by marrying at 19 and getting pregnant a year later, she never “had time to figure out who Jen is.”
“I’m still trying to figure that out. I just desperately want to be able to show up for my kids and show up as the best version of myself,” she added.
Jen will also be joining the Mormon Wives spin-off, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, airing on Hulu later in 2026.

Julia Fox’s Video of Her Son Trying To Give Donuts to the NYPD at the Knicks Parade Will Make Your Day
Julia Fox just shared a video from the Knicks parade, and her five-year-old son Valentino absolutely stole the show.
Fox is known for making quite a commotion just about everywhere she goes. Kanye West’s (or rather, Ye’s) ex repeatedly shocks fans with her skintight cut-out outfits and daring designs, such as a dress made from sheer plastic wrap, a skirt made from belts, and a tube top made from…wait for it, condoms.
This time, Fox isn’t pushing boundaries with her out-there ensembles. Actually, she’s playing it safe with a very mom-like look (a grey jersey-knit calf-length tank dress with a flowy skirt). Instead of the model/actress taking center stage, she let her kiddo grab the spotlight during the day’s festivities.
The 36-year-old recently posted a series of videos and pics on Instagram after the Knicks parade in New York City. In the cute carousel, Valentino is seen riding on his mom’s shoulders, standing on an NYPD police car, hanging with Fox and friends on top of a New York sanitation truck, and delivering donuts to New York’s finest.
In what can only be described as the most absolutely adorable video clip, the five-year-old (with mom by his side) walks up to several police officers, holding an open Dunkin’ box. While the NYPD patrollers politely decline the little boy’s offer, it looks like (based on Fox’s other photos) they did let him take a ride in one of their cars.
View this post on InstagramFans flooded Fox’s Instagram post with comments, writing, “Your kid was the kid on a TikTok video. Someone asking why there’s a kid on the cop car!” Fox replied, “lmao cuz why did he become the main attraction.” Other commenters added, “The donut gesture was so sweet, just like him!”, “Iconic mother moves,” and, “This is how you do it! Best mama ever…he will never forget this day!”
And yeah, we agree. Donuts, riding on a street sweeper, hanging in a police cruiser—does it get any better than this? Of course, it does. After all, Julia and her son were at one of the biggest ticker-tape parades in NYC history, celebrating the Knicks' first NBA Championship victory in 53 years.
Oliver Tree's Mom Shares Emotional Tribute to Late Son
Oliver Tree's mother is speaking out about her son's tragic death.
Days after news broke that the musician had died in a helicopter crash in Brazil, Christine Begin Nickell shared an emotional message on Facebook, remembering the son she said made the world a better place.
"Our dear son Oliver, you made this world a better place. We are so proud of you. RIP ❤️❤️❤️," she shared on Thursday, June 18, alongside a childhood photo of the singer.
Since his death, friends, family, and fans online continue to remember the singer.
Among them was Melanie Martinez, who dated Tree after years of friendship. Shortly after the news broke, the singer shared a message on her Instagram Story reflecting on their time together. "Been an absolute wreck today. It's really hard to understand how someone who you once shared such a specific and formative time of your life with can all of a sudden be gone," she wrote.
Martinez went on to praise Tree's dedication to his craft, adding, "He was so dedicated to his art which I admired and respected so deeply." She also reflected on the joy he brought to those around him, describing him as someone who balanced creativity with "a sense of childlike wonder and awe.”
The pair first became friends before confirming their romantic relationship in 2019. Although they later split, Martinez publicly confirmed they remained on good terms.
How did Oliver Tree die?Tree, whose full name was Oliver Tree Nickell, died on Sunday, June 14 after two helicopters collided mid-air over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He was 32 years old.
According to reports, six people were killed in the crash. Authorities said one of the helicopters came down in the city's western zone, where the impact sparked a fire that spread to multiple vehicles below. Brazilian aviation officials have since launched an investigation into what caused the collision.
Tree had been in Brazil after performing in São Paulo as part of his ongoing world tour.

The remaining islanders were split between the genders. The boys had to vote for which girl they wanted to dump from the Villa, and the girls voted for which boy they wanted to dump.
Ultimately, Sincere explained that the boys chose based on what had happened in the Villa up to that point, and they didn't know what would happen in the future. They went back and forth, but it was a mutual decision, and the girl they wanted to dump from the Island was Sol.
The girls explained that the boy they're dumping was someone who had had his chance to explore the villa but is still exploring for connections and will never be happy, but this is not the place for him right now.

’80s Rock Icon Shares the 'Brutal Truth' About Aging Rock Legends Who Keep Taking the Stage
With so many classic rock bands currently touring, it shouldn't be a huge surprise to learn that some people have interesting opinions on the subject. Even Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, who is a fellow rock icon, has some unique thoughts on the matter, and in a new interview, he didn't hold back.
While talking with Kerrang! amid Iron Maiden's huge Run For Your Lives World Tour, Dickinson touched on how many older rockers are back on stage, performing in front of longtime fans. But he posed the question: should they be?
The topic came up in relation to Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain's retirement at the end of 2024. In an interview he did soon after with Chaoszine, McBrain noted that the jam-packed touring got to him, and he "felt that I wasn’t giving it 100." Dickinson related to McBrain's decision, recalling how he argued with a journalist about how he wanted to step away from the stage if he couldn't perform at his best.
He told Kerrang!, "I said, ‘Look, there are loads of singers [whose] voices are shot and everybody knows it,'" referring to his peers in the industry. Dickinson said the journalist replied, "Yeah, but they're legends," but according to him, that's not exactly true.
"They're not f---ing legends. They're people who can't sing anymore," Dickinson boldly declared. "When they were singing, they were legends. When they can't sing anymore, they're not legends anymore. That's the end of that, the brutal truth."
He concluded, "I don't know how people get onstage when they can't do it anymore. Obviously, it's their life, but it's not my way.”

This topic is openly debated among classic rock fans, with some wanting to see their favorite bands no matter their condition, while others think they should retire when their skills are still at their height.
Iron Maiden is currently touring across Europe, and they will head to North America for a slew of dates in the fall.

Bunnie XO Says She and Jelly Roll Are Still Having a Baby Despite Divorce
Bunnie XO is breaking her silence on her divorce from Jelly Roll—and revealing a shocking detail.
On Monday, June 15, the country star, 41, stunned fans when it was revealed he filed for divorce from Bunnie, 46, after 10 years of marriage.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the singer filed for divorce in May in Tennessee, with sources noting that it was a “mutual decision by the two and a private family matter.”
The Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic author later confirmed the news on a Thursday, June 18 episode of her podcast Dumb Blonde.
"[Jelly Roll] and I are getting a divorce. Okay, nobody cry, nobody f--king get upset. It's happening," Bunnie said. "We did a f--king great job, it'll never be replicated again, but our future is so much more important, and being happy and healthy, and best friends through this is probably, I think, the biggest gift that we could have given each other."
Bunnie then shocked listeners when she revealed she and her soon-to-be ex-husband are still planning to have a child together and co-parent.

The pair don’t share any biological children together, however, the two have been open about their IVF journey. During the podcast, Bunnie shared they suffered multiple embryo losses, which took a significant toll on their relationship, and caused her to become a "shell" of her former self.
"It wrecked me emotionally, spiritually, physically," Bunnie said, before explaining that they were both on hormones while trying to have a child together. "In a way, I kind of think [Jelly Roll] and I are trauma-bonded."
Jelly Roll also has two children from previous relationships: Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy.
Bunnie XO then denied that cheating led to their split, saying that the singer has always been her "best friend" and that she loves him "more than life itself."
"So, we have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered," Bunnie added. "We're going to co-parent together. [He] is my best friend. Like, this isn't what you guys think this is. Nobody cheated on the other person. It's literally just we served our purpose for each other."

Jelly Roll and Bunnie met after she attended one of his concerts at Las Vegas’ Country Saloon in 2015. The couple married on August 31, 2016 in a Las Vegas courthouse after the country singer proposed on stage earlier that night.
Jelly Roll and Bunnie renewed their vows at the same Las Vegas chapel on their seven-year anniversary in 2023.
The couple have previously been open with fans about Jelly Roll's 10-month affair in the early years of their relationship, a mistake the singer called “one of the worst moments” of his life during an October 2025 episode of the Human School podcast, adding that he put “a lot of work to repair” their marriage after his infidelity.
The Simple Home Upgrade Costco Shoppers Are Turning to During Humid Summer Months
Summer brings plenty of things homeowners look forward to. Longer days, backyard gatherings and warm weather are all part of the season. However, with those warmer temperatures often comes something far less enjoyable: excess humidity. When moisture levels start rising indoors, rooms can feel sticky, uncomfortable and even stuffy, no matter how often the air conditioning runs something commonly experienced in my home state of Georgia.
Many homeowners spend time looking for ways to make their living spaces feel cooler and more comfortable without drastically increasing their energy bills. While fans and air conditioners can help, controlling excess moisture is often the missing piece of the puzzle. Reducing humidity can make a noticeable difference in how a home feels while also helping improve overall indoor air quality.
Hisense 35-Pint Dehumidifier, $179.99 at CostcoCostco
That's why shoppers have been taking a closer look at the Hisense 35 Pint Dehumidifier, currently available at Costco for $179.99. Designed to cover areas up to 3,000 square feet, this Energy Star Certified appliance helps pull excess moisture from the air, making living spaces feel more comfortable during hot, humid months.
The dehumidifier includes several convenient features homeowners appreciate. An easy slide-out bucket design makes emptying collected water simple, while an auto shut-off feature stops collecting water once the bucket is full. It also comes equipped with a washable, removable filter, making routine maintenance quick and hassle-free.

For many shoppers, real-world performance matters more than a list of features.
"I bought this to replace a larger capacity model of a different brand that finally bit the dust. (10 years was a good run!) Honestly, I don't miss the extra reservoir capacity," shared one shopper on Costco.com. "This one is lighter/easier to move (we wheel it in/out of the bathroom when we shower) and it doesn't leak when we move it. The compressor seems just as powerful and pulls moisture from the air like a champ. It's not 'silent', but it's by no means 'loud'. Filter is easily accessible. I also like that it has a smaller profile than the old one and has a flat vs convex top. (Perfect for cats to sit on, lol.) We've only had it a couple of weeks, but run it every day—so far, so good."
As someone who has dealt with humid rooms before, I know how quickly moisture can make a home feel uncomfortable. Sometimes the biggest difference doesn't come from lowering the temperature a few degrees—it comes from removing excess humidity altogether. For shoppers looking for a practical way to improve comfort this summer, this Costco find may be worth adding to the list.

Leiya from 'Outlast: The Jungle' Responds to 'Mean' Cast's Criticism of Her Fire-Making Skills
Leiya Pillitteri was a major character on Outlast: The Jungle. She, like the other women in the cast, had to argue to keep their spot on their team.
The makeup artist and fisherwoman said she could make a fire. But other cast members criticized her skills. The 27-year-old contestant responded to those criticisms.
Spoiler alert for the Outlast: The Jungle finale!
Leiya Struggled to Make a Fire on 'Outlast: The Jungle' Brett, 22, Pearl River, LA, Boar Hunter & Commercial FishermanNetflix
Leiya started on Team Charlie, which picked shelter equipment. That meant they need to find their way to make fire in nature.
"We're gonna have fire tonight," Leiya told her team in the first episode. "Have faith in me." She tried to use friction between wood to get one started.
"I really practice a lot, but I promise you this is the right way to do it," she told Brett Johnson. "And I have it down."
However, that strategy didn't work. She later got a new idea after the rest of Team Charlie complained about her not making a fire yet on day 10. Brett suggested using glass in the sunlight to spark a fire. Leiya then had the idea to use the binoculars and a metal pale to get a spark.

It didn't work when she did it. But Brett took over, and the fire started. Leiya later left Team Charlie for Team Alpha. She decided to do the fire-making portion in the semifinal competition. She emotionally struggled, which frustrated Nikki Hru and Maddy Jones.
They were the last team to make fire. "Leiya says that it's her thing and I'm really excited to give her a moment to shine after not being able to really do anything on Charlie, but Leiya is panicking," Nikki said in the confessional. "You're crying about something that you said you've been doing and are good at?"
The boxer said her confidence in Leiya plummeted. Thankfully, Leiya did get a fire, and Team Alpha pulled out a win. Maddy and Nikki later voted out Leiya in the final.
Leiya Says She Didn't Claim to Be an Expert at Fire and Ben Defends Her Ben, 43, Salt Lake City, UT, Former Department of Defense CivilianNetflix
Ben Orndorff was on Team Alpha with the winners. He answered a fan's question in his Instagram Story asking how he felt about Leiya getting voted out at the last minute on June 18.
"I think that really is bullsh-t because I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that in the challenge where they had to make fire with ferro rod and then shoot the target with a bow, if Maddy and Nikki didn't have Leiya they would not have gotten the fire started," Ben answered in a video.
"And all they did was sit there and yell at her," he continued. "But I can tell you because that's what I was doing behind the scenes to keep things going as like the survival stuff they didn't know how to do."
The Former Department of Defense Civilian said he didn't feel like Nikki had any survival skills. Leiya reacted to the story by commenting, "Thank you, Ben. They both told me they didn't know how to make fire." Leiya addressed the cast members, claiming she oversold her abilities on her Instagram Story on June 18.
"Both teammates had told they didn't know how to make fire," she wrote over Ben's video. "I simply stepped up to contribute in a team, never said I was an expert. Not sure why they went against that in the confessional. If I wasn't there, they would've lost, but speaking so badly about me instead of being appreciative was just so mean & unnecessary."
The good thing is that Leiya proved herself in the challenge. But she sadly didn't get to split the prize money.
Taylor Swift Shares Rare Childhood Photo Ahead of 'Toy Story 5' Release
In anticipation of Pixar’s Toy Story 5, Taylor Swift is celebrating the new movie with a rare picture from her childhood.
Dressed in western outfits, the photo shows Swift and her brother Austin on a coin-operated wagon ride. Swift captioned the photo, “TOMORROW WE GET TS5.”
“Oh how I love this phenomenal movie,” Swift continued. “Disney and @pixar’s @toystory 5 is in theaters everywhere tomorrow (!!!!!)”
In the same post, Swift also shared a behind-the-scenes video from her time recording “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which will be featured in the credits of the new animated film.
View this post on Instagram“It’s been kind of a hectic day,” Swift said in the video that she recorded in the studio. “At 11 a.m., [I] went to go see Toy Story 5. [I] got so inspired, got the songwriter zoomies, went home, wrote the end credit song for Toy Story 5. We have now produced it, and I'm doing vocals. It’s 6:57 p.m. In two hours, we’ll have Bob Iger from Pixar coming to hear it. We have not recorded it yet. And I think this is one of the most fun days of my life.”
Swift has been vocal about her love for the new movie, and earlier this month, she shared that she’s been a fan of the franchise since she was 5 years old.
“Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time,” Swift posted on Instagram. “Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once.”
Toy Story 5 is set to release in theaters this Friday, June 19. The new film finds Woody, Buzz, Jessie and the gang teaming up with new tech friends to help their owner, Bonnie, make real-life connections.
At the movie’s premiere on June 9, Swift called the film “insanely beautiful.”
“If you're in this room and you worked on this film, thank you so much," Swift said at the premiere. "Your work is amazing and I hope you're all proud of yourselves."

Grammy-Nominated Producer Behind ‘Sicko Mode,’ Dies at 29
Grammy-nominated music producer Tay Keith has been found dead in his apartment in Nashville, Tennessee.
Keith, whose real name is Brytavious Chambers, has worked with music icons like Eminem, Beyoncé, Travis Scott and Drake. The prolific hip hop producer also worked with Lil Baby, Sexyy Red, 21 Savage and J Cole.
Nashville police, per Variety: “No foul play is suspected in the death of Brytavious Chambers, 29, also known as Grammy-nominated record producer Tay Keith. He was found dead in his Martin St. apt. this afternoon by officers performing a welfare check. His death is unclassified pending autopsy results.”
Keith is best known for co-producing Travis Scott's hit track 'Sicko Mode', which earned him his first Grammy Award nomination in 2019, aged just 23. He was also nominated for his work on Drake and 21 Savage's song 'Rich Flex'. Last year, Keith made Forbes' 30 Under 30 Music list.
A Memphis native, Keith was a teenager when he started posting music online. He was just 14 when he met BlocBoy JB and they started working together. His old friend shared a throwback photo of the two of them from when they were kids. In a caption, the artist wrote, “Damn Cuz You Just Hurt Me Bad.”
Tay Keith's most recent producing credits included Jack Harlow’s 2025 song 'Just Us' featuring Doja Cat; Travis Scott’s single '4×4'; and 'Broke His Heart' from Megan Thee Stallion’s 2024 album Megan. His last post, on June 9, celebrated the inclusion of "Get It Sexyy" by Sexyy Red in the latest season of HBO's drama Euphoria.
During a Rolling Stoneinterview in 2022, Keith spoke about being influenced by growing up in Memphis. “I was born into this shit and raised in this shit,” he said. “Memphis music is all I listened to and all my family listened to. My stepfather who I am still close with really influenced my taste for music.”

Eddie Vedder Debuts Emotional New Song at the Obama Presidential Center Opening — for a Meaningful Cause
Pearl Jam’s frontman Eddie Vedder wowed the crowd at the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening Ceremony on Thursday. And if you were expecting to see one of the musician's iconic songs, you’re in for a surprise—in the best way possible.
Instead of the usual set list, Vedder debuted a brand-new song he created (with some help) just for the event. Titled ‘Better Believe,’ the soon-to-be hit is a collab with the young students of Chicago’s Guitars Over Guns program and the audio arts students and alumni from Columbia College Chicago.
Who did Eddie Vedder record his new song with?So, what exactly is Guitars Over Guns, and how did Vedder get involved with these musical kids? Reportedly, former POTUS Barack Obamaconnected him with the group. Back in 2023, the organization was awarded a $15,000 grant from the Obama Foundation. Instead of just sending a check, Obama went to the Guitars Over Guns South Side music studio for a meet-and-greet.
The song also features (and was co-written by) Regional Director of Guitars Over Guns and Colombia adjunct professor Andre “Add-2” Daniels (who helped to facilitate the collab between the organization and the audio students) and local Chicago musicians Mark Anderson, Giselle Castro, Jeremiah Fristoe, Michael “Myskie” Hightower,Cassidy Lee, Naomi Owens, Isabella Santillan, and Joy Viltz.

How can fans listen to Eddie Vedder’s new song ‘Better Believe’?While the live event is over, fans can still watch Vedder’s performance with the young musicians of Guitars Over Guns on the Obama Presidential Center’s website here.
