Why Taylor Swift Didn’t Tell Ed Sheeran About Her Engagement

Taylor Swift is grateful she didn’t ruin the friendship with this mishap.

Taylor Swift had a perfectly good reason for not immediately telling her friend Ed Sheeran that she was engaged to Travis Kelce. She simply forgot!

Taylor shared on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon* that he doesn’t own a phone and can only be reached by email. Even if someone wants to video chat with him, he needs to borrow an iPad and be helped to set it up, almost like giving one to a child.

She said he’s truly one of her favorite people. When she heard the news, she immediately realized they needed to reach out to him and was worried they’d forgotten. He’s incredibly close to her – she considers him family – but unfortunately, he doesn’t own a phone.

When she got engaged to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in August, the 35-year-old had a plan for sharing the news with family and friends.

She remembered scrolling through her phone, trying to decide who to call or video chat with. She checked her recent text messages, looking for him, but realized she hadn’t spoken to him in over a month.

Ed quickly clarified that there were no hard feelings between him and the other person involved. He playfully responded to a TikTok video of the moment, joking, “Just checking in during my scheduled iPad time – and yes, this is true!”

Ed Sheeran, known for his hit song “Shape of You,” made a surprising choice in 2015: he stopped carrying a smartphone. Now, he relies on his team to record videos for him to share on social media.

He described it as more of an archive than a current phone on the *Therapuss with Jake Shane* podcast in June. He’d had the same phone number since he was fifteen, and after becoming famous, his phone filled up with 10,000 contacts, leading to a constant stream of text messages.

He explained that people seem to expect immediate responses to texts, and not replying can be seen as impolite. He added that sometimes people simply aren’t able to respond right away, either because they’re occupied or not feeling up to it.

The 34-year-old, who has two daughters – 5-year-old Lyra and 2-year-old Jupiter – with his wife, Cherry Seaborn, is very strict about how much time they spend using screens.

I recently got an iPad and now handle all my communications through email, responding to everything in one dedicated session each week. I set aside an hour on either Thursday or Friday, usually while in the car, to go through all my emails, address everything, and catch up with people. After that, I’m done until the next week.

Okay, let’s talk about self-care—or, in this case, a funny reaction *to* a comment about it! In June 2024, someone pointed out to Jason Kelce that he *looked* like he skipped leg day…and maybe a shower after! He playfully responded on Twitter, jokingly asking who *would* wash their feet, which honestly, just proves he doesn’t take himself too seriously. It was a lighthearted moment showing even athletes get teased about their routines!

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

On his podcast, *New Heights* with his brother Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes jokingly asked, “What kind of person washes someone else’s feet?” He then added that he’d only scrub them if they were visibly dirty.

More than ten years after telling a story about witnessing a clown’s death in a car explosion at the circus when he was a child, the actor known for *Twilight* has confessed that the story was made up.

Robert remembered telling *The New York Times Style Magazine* in December 2024 that he reacted with complete surprise. He said he immediately asked, “What on earth? Are you possessed?”

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He explained that one of the clowns had died in an accident. Their small car exploded, and it was a very serious incident. Everyone panicked and ran to safety; it was a truly frightening experience.

Grandma knows best.

Kim Kardashian shared a personal story on an October 2022 episode of *The Kardashians* about how her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, unexpectedly played a role in a private moment with her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

Kim Kardashian told MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian that she and Pete Davidson were at the Beverly Hills Hotel last weekend. They were chatting by the fireplace for hours, and she remembered something her grandmother had told her: that having sex in front of a fireplace is a way to truly enjoy life. Inspired by this, they decided to act on it as a tribute to her mother and sister.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim found it unsettling to consider her grandmother while being intimate, and MJ responded by saying she understood, but she had been younger once herself.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a very close family, including their children, 8-year-old Wyatt and 6-year-old Dimitri, and their love for each other is endless.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

She told TopMob News in September 2022 that this also extends to the bathroom. She explained that her family has simply accepted all normal bodily functions as a regular part of life, for better or worse, and the kids have grown up with that understanding.

Mila explained she decided to give in after her family repeatedly asked to come inside. She said she eventually thought, ‘Oh well, I’ll just leave the door open.’

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She said she never imagined she’d become someone comfortable enough to use the restroom with the door open.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During an October 2022 episode of *The View*, the hosts were discussing a woman who claimed her home was haunted by sexual ghosts. This led Sara Haines to pose a surprising question to the panel: “Is it possible to get pregnant from a ghost?”

Luckily, Joy Behar, her co-host, chimed in with a humorous response: “I’ve had encounters with ghosts and never gotten pregnant.”

Oh my gosh, did you *hear* Joy?! I almost couldn’t believe it! And then Whoopi just calmly said, “I’m just gonna let that ride.” It was perfect! She didn’t even need to explain, she just…let it ride. I’m living for it, honestly. It was such a *Whoopi* moment, you know?

Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb are very close friends, but Hoda recently learned something surprising about her co-host on *Today*. While preparing for an episode of *Today with Hoda and Jenna*, Hoda found out that Jenna always goes without underwear.

Hoda Kotb shared a funny story from a November 2022 episode of *Today with Hoda and Jenna*. She explained that they both needed to quickly change outfits and had to run back to the dressing room. While there, Hoda realized Jenna Bush Hager doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She explained that the outfit creates a more flattering shape and is also easier to pack. She felt there were many benefits to choosing it.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears related to a popular line from Keke Palmer – “He could be walking down the street and I wouldn’t know a thing” – revealing she wasn’t familiar with Pete Davidson or Scott Disick.

Britney shared a funny video from March showing Pete Davidson—who was dating Kim Kardashian at the time—and Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick, having a night out. She said the video had her laughing a lot.

Britney explained she was re-sharing the video because she didn’t know who was in it, but it had made her laugh a lot! She later removed the post.

Before Chris Evans became famous as Captain America and was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, Jana Kramer dated him and thought he was a really cute heartthrob.

The singer shared on her podcast, *Whine Down with Jana Kramer*, that this happened over ten years ago. She doesn’t remember exactly how many times they went out, but she clearly remembers the last time they saw each other.

Jana, who was around 26 at the time, said Chris asked her to come over when he had some friends visiting from Boston.

Jana recalled that the last thing she remembered was her partner heading to the bathroom right after she’d used it, noting that eating asparagus can change the smell of urine. They didn’t end up intimate that night; he stayed up late with friends, and the next morning, Jana left his house feeling embarrassed – what she jokingly called the ‘asparagus walk of shame’.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

In December, television writer Elisabeth Finch confessed that she had fabricated a story about having a rare bone cancer. She originally shared this false diagnosis with *ELLE* magazine eight years prior, and it even became the basis for a plotline on *Grey’s Anatomy*.

Elisabeth recently revealed to *The Ankler* newsletter that a lie she told at age 34 was the biggest regret of her life. She explained that the lie grew over time and became a heavy burden. She also clarified that she has never been diagnosed with cancer.

Finch, who stepped down from his role on the ABC medical show after being temporarily suspended, admitted, “I made a mistake. It was completely unacceptable and wrong—I messed up in every way.”

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

The reality star told *The New York Times* she’d consider almost any procedure to look younger.

She admitted in June that she’d consider doing almost anything for youthfulness, even something truly unpleasant. ‘I might even eat something disgusting every day,’ she said, ‘if it meant I looked younger.’

Kim told Allure in July 2022 that she was mostly kidding when she made the comment, but admitted it wasn’t a completely awful idea.

Kim thought for a moment and then said, ‘Honestly, I’d probably eat something awful if someone promised it would make me look younger – even if it meant eating a bowl of poop every day.’

Asked how much she could eat, she replied, “Perhaps just a small bite.” She added that a full bowl would be too much for her.

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an April 2025 interview on *The Jennifer Hudson Show*, the singer behind “Save Me” shared a particularly embarrassing story, and he didn’t shy away from the details.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

To be honest, Jelly Roll (whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord) didn’t intend to cause such serious harm.

He firmly believed it was just a misunderstanding. “I sincerely apologize,” he said. “I saw the audience quickly turn from supportive to completely against me.”
