Travis Garland has already proven his vocal chops in the Dancing With the Stars‘ ballroom, and now, he’s taking the America’s Got Talent stage. While fans of the ballroom bash may recognize his voice if not his face, the singer is ready to change that, and Billboard has an exclusive clip of his audition set to air on NBC Tuesday (July 7).
In the clip, Garland powerfully belts out the chorus to Aerosmith’s 1970s classic “Dream On,” which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1976, and was a chart staple for 29 weeks. As he lets the lyrics soar with his rich voice, judge Howie Mandel turns to look at the audience members behind him, who are clapping and banging their heads along to the hit rock song.
Just before Garland reaches for frontman Steven Tyler’s ultra high notes from the chorus followed by the iconic scream, judge Mel B smiles and praises “Niiiice!” before raising her arm to cheer and rock with the beat.
Though Garland has been sharing his vocal talents mostly behind the scenes as a live vocalist with Dancing With the Stars since 2015, the singer — who is from West Texas (Lubbock, Texas, to be exact) — has been singing for much of his life, he tells judges Mandel, Mel B, Sofia Vergara and Simon Cowell on the Tuesday episode that he’s now ready to reach for his ultimate goal and go solo.
He also opens up about the struggles of pursuing music as a career, even if he’s achieved highlights such as touring when he was only 17. But, he reveals, competing with his singing abilities on America’s Got Talent has been — fittingly for his song choice — a dream.
Watch Billboard‘s exclusive clip of Travis Garland’s AGT audition below:
America’s Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC, and streams on Peacock the next day.

What’s in a name? That’s what soccer fans across North America have been asking as they’ve shown up in droves to attend the 2026 edition of the FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
While the matches are being played across 16 popular stadiums in host cities across the continent, you’d be hard-pressed to find the original name of the stadium anywhere on the building — or anywhere in the vicinity for that matter. That’s because FIFA has banned the use of corporate-sponsored stadium names unless said company pays a usage fee — a fee which was presumably too high, since none of the stadiums kept their names for the six-week tournament. The end result: the 2026 World Cup venues are officially known by the major city they’re in (or closest to), leading to clunky naming conventions like “New York New Jersey Stadium” (instead of MetLife Stadium) in the Tri-State area, and “Los Angeles Stadium” instead of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Financial institution SoFi has brought out a number of musicians and celebrities to its suite in “Los Angeles Stadium” over the last few weeks, and while their branding has been covered up with black fabric on the stadium exterior and on the screens inside, the company says its goal in hosting guests at the World Cup is predicated on more than just a wordmark or logo.
“SoFi Stadium was built to be a global destination, and we’re proud to have been part of that vision from day one,” leads a statement from the company. “While FIFA has its own requirements for tournament venues, Angelenos and fans around the world know the stadium as SoFi Stadium and recognize its significance in Los Angeles. Ultimately, our branding extends beyond a sign on a stadium. It shows up in what SoFi is about: helping people achieve financial independence and realize their ambitions.”
SoFi is also helping people realize some of their sporting dreams, welcoming musicians like Chloe Bailey and Nick Lachey, and actors Simu Liu, Chace Crawford and Sterling K. Brown to their VIP suite at SoFi — ahem — Los Angeles Stadium last month. While their logo and signage may have been covered at the stadium, SoFi branding was on full display inside their private suite, with guests receiving SoFi soccer scarves and blue and purple SoFi jerseys at their seats.
The invite-only experience also included an elevated dining experience for guests — think sushi, short rib and thai curry over hot dogs and burgers, while Tattinger champagne and Casmigos tequila flowed freely at the bar.
Bailey was spotted taking ‘fit pics to post to Instagram as she joined SoFi for the U.S. men’s national team’s kickoff game on June 12. Other celebrities in the suite for that game included Dylan Efron and Ginny & Georgia star, Brianne Howey, who were both seen celebrating and recording video of the crowd cheering after the U.S. defeated Paraguay by a score of 4-1.
Lachey, Crawford and Liu, meantime, were in the SoFi suite for the final U.S. group stage game, where the men’s team lost a close 3-2 decision to Turkiye. Love Is Blind host and 98 Degrees star Lachey proudly sang along to the national anthem before changing into a U.S. soccer jersey that he jokingly teased was “too tight” for his frame. Lachey and Liu also gamely posed for photos in the SoFi suite, which had a prime view of the soccer pitch below.
Per a press release, the World Cup experiences helped to showcase the “elevated access and benefits available through SoFi Plus,” a premium membership tier that unlocks higher interest rates, credit card perks, cashback deals and access to certified financial planners. Members can also unlock exclusive “SoFi Plus Experiences,” with expedited entry, discounted tickets and lounge access (where applicable) to big entertainment and sporting events. SoFi also used the events to promote its new crypto program, designed to make the decentralized digital currency more accessible to everyone.

“As the World Cup continues in LA, we’re focused on showing up for our members, the local community and fans in ways that extend beyond the stadium itself,” the company says. “With the World Cup, the LA28 Olympic Games and next year’s Super Bowl, SoFi Stadium will continue to sit at the center of the biggest moments in sports and culture and continue to reflect SoFi’s mission.”
Donna Kelce, Travis Kelce’s mom and now Taylor Swift‘s mother-in-law, is the newlyweds’ first immediate family member to publicly talk about the wedding festivities that took place in New York City at Madison Square Garden Friday night (July 3).

Mama Kelce made an appearance at the city’s annual Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks event while she was in town to see her son, who’s the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, marry the pop superstar. Donna walked the Macy’s red carpet looking quite patriotic on Saturday (July 4), the day after the wedding, wearing an American flag tunic, white trousers, a red statement necklace and red-framed eyeglasses.
She took part in an interview at the Macy’s event, as seen in a video posted on the department store’s Instagram account.
Of course, Mrs. Kelce was asked about Taylor and Travis’ shindig — a late-night celebration at the famed Midtown arena with a reported 1,000 guests who’ve mostly remained tight-lipped about the details.
Instead of completely dodging the question, she did talk about the bride and groom’s big day. She just didn’t offer much of an inside scoop.
“I really can’t say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man. Magical,” Travis’ mom says on camera in the clip below.
The proud mom of two NFL athletes — Travis and his brother Jason Kelce, who was best man at the wedding — also shared a memory of how the Kelce family would celebrate Fourth of July when her sons were children: “I remember I used to take the boys down to Lake Erie and we would watch the fireworks in Euclid, Ohio, and we had the best time,” she said in the interview this weekend.

Swift and Kelce opted out of having a traditional wedding party with bridesmaids and groomsmen for their ceremony. The Life of a Showgirl hitmaker’s rep shared that the bride simply had her brother, Austin Swift, serve as man of honor while Jason stood by Travis as best man.
Adam Sandler officiated the wedding ceremony, which featured vows that Swift and Kelce wrote themselves. GMA’s George Stephanopoulos, who was in attendance, described the pair’s vows as “everything you would hope for — real, vulnerable, serious and silly, deeply loving.” Another guest, AMC CEO Adam Aron, spilled that their vows were “long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together.”
Though the couple has yet to reveal a wedding portrait, or even a glimpse at Swift’s wedding dress, it’s been confirmed that the bride and groom’s looks were designed by Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections creative director Jonathan Anderson (who’s also the founder of menswear label JW Anderson).
Music icons Stevie Nicks and Paul McCartney reportedly performed at the reception at Madison Square Garden, which is said to have been transformed with Secret Garden-themed decor.

England is one of the oldest national teams in international football, though they have only won the World Cup once, in 1966.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce received “really touching” marriage advice from Adam Sandler, who officiated the couple’s wedding, reveals Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid.

Kelce’s coach praised Sandler in an interview on CNN Sunday afternoon (July 5) — two days after seeing the bride and groom say “I do” — for doing a “phenomenal job” as officiant for their wedding ceremony. Reid also offered a glimpse at what the comedic actor told Swift and Kelce during the service.
“He said, ‘Kiss every chance you have, every day,’” Reid said. “‘Whether you’re going to bed or going to work or, you know, wherever, go ahead and kiss her.’ And I thought that was, in a simple way, in its simplest form, it really was touching.”
Reid added of Swift and Kelce, “I’ve had a chance to see them grow together, and that’s the most important thing, that there’s a love there, a sincere love.”
“Obviously, they’re different people, from different worlds, but they’ve come together to join hands, and they’re really special together,” the Chiefs coach said on CNN.
Swift’s rep confirmed that Sandler led the bride and groom’s ceremony at Madison Square Garden in New York City Friday night (July 3), though no details about what he said were shared at the time.
After Swift and Kelce exchanged vows, big screens on the exterior of the arena announced, “JUST&T MARRIED!”
By Saturday, some tidbits about the couple’s vows trickled in from guests who’d attended the event. The vows, which Swift and Kelce wrote themselves, were “everything you would hope for — real, vulnerable, serious and silly, deeply loving,” according to GMA host George Stephanopoulos.
The vows were “long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together,” Adam Aron, CEO at AMC, recapped in a since-deleted social media post.
As of press time Sunday, those who weren’t invited to the wedding still await the first look at Swift and Kelce on their big day. Swift wore a dress designed by Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections; Anderson is also the founder/designer of menswear brand JW Anderson.
Sandler has previously been connected to both Swift and Kelce.
Kelce had a cameo in Sandler’s 2025 film Happy Gilmore 2, while Swift’s music has deep roots with Sandler and his daughters.
“Taylor’s so damn nice to my family and has always been,” he said in an interview last year. “She’s ridiculously nice to them and warm, and Travis is such a gentle, nice guy. Funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with.”
Sandler also gushed over the pop star in an appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast in 2024, sharing, “I love what she had to say … what she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life … I do get nervous around Taylor Swift, because I don’t want to f—ing blow it for my kids and say something stupid.”
Sandler’s favorite song by Swift is a sentimental track from Fearless that she acclaimed singer-songwriter wrote for her mother, Andrea Swift, for the album’s original release in 2008.
“Everything [my two daughters] throw on I love, but one of the first ones they threw on when they were young was ‘The Best Day,’” he told Billboard in 2024. “We connected with that when the kids were young. Every album, we listen the first day it comes out. There’s not a song they don’t know every word to.”
YoungBoy Never Broke Again has released AMERICAN YOUNGBOY, the concert film documenting his sold-out 42-date Make America Slime Again arena tour, on Prime Video through Prime Video Direct as of Friday (July 4).
The documentary — directed by Nico Ballesteros and distributed through YoungBoy’s own 38 Heights Film and Productions in partnership with Foundation Media Partners — moves between stage performances, backstage footage and personal moments across a tour that broke the record for the highest-grossing run by a debut headlining rapper. It marks YoungBoy’s first formal venture into filmmaking, and functions as both a concert document and a character study of one of the most prolific and polarising figures in contemporary rap.
The film first hit theatres in April, earning $1.84 million in its opening weekend, with the theatrical premiere selling out screens nationwide. Its arrival on Prime Video makes the film widely accessible for the first time, timed to coincide with the July 4 holiday weekend.
Born Kentrell DeSean Gaulden in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he first appeared on the Billboard 200 in 2017 with the mixtape AI YoungBoy, which debuted at No. 24. In the eight years since, he has charted 34 albums on the Billboard 200 — the most of any rapper in the chart’s history, surpassing E-40’s previous record of 33, a mark E-40 accumulated over nearly three decades.
He has scored four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200: AI YoungBoy 2 (2019), 38 Baby 2 (2020), Top (2020) and Sincerely, Kentrell (2021). In 2020, the back-to-back chart-topping debuts of 38 Baby 2 and Top made him only the second hip-hop act to peak the Billboard 200 three times in a single calendar year.
On the singles side, YoungBoy became the youngest artist in Billboard history to surpass 100 entries on the Hot 100, reaching the milestone at 23 in May 2023. His highest-charting single remains “Bandit” with the late Juice Wrld, which debuted at No. 10 in 2019 and has been certified six-times platinum by the RIAA.
AMERICAN YOUNGBOY is streaming now on Prime Video.

It’s official: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are now husband and wife.
The duo tied the knot Saturday (June 3) at Madison Square Garden in New York City, in a star-studded ceremony that was officiated by Adam Sandler. The guest list, meantime, reportedly included Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran, Sabrina Carpenter, the HAIM sisters and Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates. And yes, the bride wore white, in a custom wedding dress by Jonathan Anderson for Christian Dior Haute Couture.
As details slowly trickle out about the ceremony — with photos no doubt soon to follow — savvy Swifties have already taken to the internet to create their own wedding merch and wedding gifts inspired by pop culture’s reigning royal couple. These are all unofficial items of course, but well, they’re actually romantic, and make great wedding gifts for Taylor Swift fans, or fun collectibles for pop culture fans, whether you’re single, taken or just down bad.
Here’s a look at the best Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding-inspired merch to pick up online now.
Taylor and Travis Royal Wedding Memorabilia Mug
“Tayvis” hiring police escorts and taking over an entire city block for their wedding had many comparing their big day to the royal wedding, and I guess if you’re a fan of the couple — or of pop culture in general — this really is like our royal wedding of 2026.
Commemorate the occasion with this fan-made ceramic mug, which features an image of the couple designed like a royal crest, along with a mirrorball crown above them. More easter eggs: there’s a wolf and arrowhead representing the Kansas City Chiefs’ mascot and stadium, respectively, along with a butterfly and unicorn symbol for Taylor (with a snake peeking out too cause IYKYK). As the Etsy seller explains, two blue quills at the bottom of the design are “symbolic of the love story they are writing.”
Taylor Swift-Inspired Bride T-Shirts
You can also pick up these T-shirts, inspired by lyrics from Swift’s hit songs, “Lover” and “Love Story.”
Choose from more than a dozen T-shirt colors and then choose the lyric you want printed on it. The 100% cotton T-shirts are available in sizes XS to 3XL.
“I’d Marry You With Paper Rings” Ring Dish
Inspired by lyrics from “Paper Rings,” a song off Swift’s 2019 album, Lover, this wedding gift idea gets you a heart-shaped ceramic dish for your rings, bracelets, keys and other small accessories. You can also choose to have the same quote printed on a classic round jewelry dish.
So It’s Gonna Be Forever Greeting Card
While our wedding invite to Swift and Kelce’s big day was (presumably) lost in the mail, we can pick up this Swift-inspired wedding card, which takes its design from the singer’s Billboard Hot 100 chart topper, “Blank Space.”
Also: totally joking about the wedding invite. We were obviously not on the list.
Taylor Swift-Inspired Champagne Glasses
While we’re waiting to find out what song Taylor and Travis danced to for their first dance, or what was served at the reception, you can toast to the happy couple with these champagne glasses, which are etched with lyrics from Swift’s song, “Invisible String,” off her Grammy-winning 2020 album, Folklore.
This set gets you two champagne glasses made from real glass. The Etsy seller says the glasses are dishwasher-safe, and reviewers say the inscriptions do not fade even after multiple use.
My Sticker Dress-Up Swifties: The Wedding!
The official wedding photos haven’t dropped yet (as of this writing), but illustrator Louise Anglicas has created this sticker book imagining what she thinks Swift and Kelce’s ceremony could look like.
There are 24 pages featuring various locations, backdrops and even mock wedding invitations, and you can create your own version of the festivities with the 500 reusable stickers that range from flowers to gowns. Included with the book is a silver-tone chain with a handcrafted red rhinestone heart charm at the end. The chain measures 18 inches in length while the heart comes with a lock and key clasp.

Amazon also sells this trivia book inspired by Taylor and Travis’ wedding. Get 128 pages of quizzes, puzzles, word searches, brain teasers and more.
There are even sections about the couple’s famous celebrity friends (many of whom were at the wedding), Swift’s iconic Eras Tour, and even the couple’s pets.
Swiftie by Marriage Sweatshirt
Of course, Kelce has long professed his love for his now-wife and for her music, but this sweatshirt makes it official. It’s a great gift idea for anyone who’s coming over to the Swift side after getting married too.
Redbubble has this design available on a T-shirt or printed on this cozy oversized sweatshirt, in ten different colors and sizes XS to 3XL.
Taylor & Travis Forever Ultimate Fan Edition Little Golden Book Biography

Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney’s relationship has become one of Hollywood’s most talked-about romances since they made it public.
The music executive and the actress have been spotted together around New York City and Los Angeles. During the past year, they have also appeared side by side at a series of high-profile events, including the Euphoria season 3 premiere in Los Angeles, the Stagecoach Festival, and more recently, multiple New York Knicks playoff games and NBA Finals match-ups.
Sweeney and Braun first sparked romance rumors shortly after the actress ended her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino in 2025. She and Braun were later seen hanging out in Italy shortly after her split with Davino, and they were also spotted at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding festivities in Venice, prompting early rumors of a romance.
Even though they both kept the relationship relatively under the radar for several months, more than half a year later, the couple made things Instagram official. They hard-launched their romance with a post made by Sweeney on her Instagram Stories of the couple at the Euphoria premiere, which Braun reposted. During Stagecoach, Sweeney posted a carousel of photos that included moments with Braun.
While the couple has kept most details of their relationship private, their growing list of public appearances suggests things have become increasingly serious.
Braun divorced Yael Cohen in 2022 after eight years of marriage and three children. Sweeney was with Davino for seven years before ending their relationship and engagement in March 2025.
Here is a timeline of Sweeney and Braun’s relationship:
50 Cent has responded to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently telling Complex that he would invite the rapper to a dream dinner party at Gracie Mansion and the supposed beef between the two has been “one-sided.”

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Still Has Love for 50 Cent Even After Tax Policy Disagreement: ‘It’s a One-Sided Beef’
“I would throw in 50 Cent, so that we could have a conversation around tax policy,” he told the outlet after naming former New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia as one of his guests. “My tax policies are not his favorites, but Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is still one of my favorites of all time.”
He added: “It’s a one-sided beef, yeah. I think we’re always gonna have a disagreement on that tax policy. I wanna increase tax on the wealthiest; he does not want that to happen. But I will still appreciate the song ‘Many Men,’ for whatever our disagreements are.”
The Queens entertainment mogul then took to Instagram and told the mayor to focus on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce upcoming wedding at Madison Square Garden instead of on him. “Man focus on the wedding of the century, Taylor and Travis down at the Garden,” 50 wrote in a post earlier Thursday (June 2). “We don’t have beef, I just think some of these ideas are radical. Stay away from the taxes. OK!”
50 has voiced his displeasure with Mamdani’s “tax the rich” rhetoric and policy agenda since his mayoral run began to catch steam. He offered the then-Democratic mayoral nominee $258,750 and a first-class ticket to leave the city in a since-deleted post. He also posted a tombstone that read, “RIP NYC: FOUNDED 1624 – DIED 2025,” after Mamdani won the election back in November.
