As Taylor Swift enters her The Life of a Showgirl era, it’s evident that her fans are right behind and beside her.

Swift, 35, dropped her 12th LP on Friday, October 3, where the 12 song-album quickly broke records across Apple Music, Spotify and other streaming platforms.

“Tonight all these lives converge here. The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears, where fraternal souls sing identical things,” Swift wrote via Instagram in the early hours on Friday in celebration of her new body of work. “It’s beautiful. It’s rapturous. It is frightening.”

She continued, “I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right. A forever thank you goes out to my mentors and friends Max [Martin] and Shellback for helping me paint this self-portrait. If you thought the big show was wild, perhaps you should come and take a look behind the curtain … The Life of a Showgirl is out now.”

Every Time Taylor Swift References Travis Kelce on Her ‘Showgirl’ Album

Swift collaborated with Martin, 54, and Shellback, 40, on Showgirl in 2024 — all in between European concerts of her record-breaking Eras Tour.

“One thing about this album that I think is really exciting is that, oftentimes when I make a record, we then take all this time to plan out how we’re going to put it out,” Swift said during a Friday interview on the U.K.’s Hits Radio station. “There’s a little lag time between when I made it and when it enters the world. Oftentimes, your life can change drastically between that point and this other point.”

The pop star added, “With this one, the coolest part is that it is absolutely the place that I am in my life. The music matches the moment I’m in. It’s so much easier to come in here [for an interview] and talk about the music that completely, accurately reflects what’s going on in my life.”

Taylor Swift’s ‘Life of a Showgirl’ Breaks Spotify Record Before Release

Much of Swift’s life off the Eras stage included her romance with NFL star Travis Kelce, whom she started dating in summer 2023. Kelce, 35, who proposed in August, is even the inspiration for Showgirl songs “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Elizabeth Taylor,” “Opalite,” “Honey,” “Wish List” and “Wood.”

“I keep listening to this album,” Kelce, 35, teased of the record during an August episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “I know she mentioned [on our show] that it’s gonna be a lot more pop beats and everything, but it’s still so poetic and her melodies and her references and stuff. I think ‘Opalite’ might be my favorite though. At least right now, every time it comes on, I always catch myself [vibing].”

Kelce was among the first listeners of The Life of a Showgirl, with Swift revealing on BBC Radio 1 on Friday that she’d play him the tracks “as soon as [she would] come back” from the recording studio.

“I’d just play it for him, and I knew that this was the kind of album that he was going to love the most,” Swift told the BBC’s Greg James. “He’s so supportive of all of it, but he’s a real vibes guy.”

When it comes to his next great romance, Lukas Gage plans to keep things to himself.

“I don’t think everything should be such an exhibition for the world,” Gage, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly on September 23 in anticipation for his upcoming book, I Wrote This for Attention.

“I think some things should be kept for you and be a little more personal,” he continued. “And yeah, I just think there’s some things [that] should be sacred and that’s OK that I wasn’t — I was very in people’s faces in my last relationship. Maybe for the next one, we’ll just keep it a little more quiet.”

Gage was famously married to Chris Appleton after a whirlwind romance. The pair got engaged just one month after they first sparked relationship rumors back in February 2023. Months later, in April, the former couple said “I do” during a wedding officiated by Kim Kardashian.

How Lukas Gage Feels About Ex-Husband Chris Appleton’s Upcoming Book

After nearly seven months of marriage, Appleton filed for divorce from Gage. The pair reached a divorce settlement in June 2024.

Gage revisits his short-lived marriage to Appleton — as well as various other highs and lows throughout this life — in his new memoir I Wrote This for Attention, out on Tuesday, October 14.

“The book is inspired from my many journals I kept as a kid, where I wrote about a lot of things that I never shared with anybody else,” he previously teased to Us. “In this book, I start talking about it, and you can see why sometimes it felt safer not to.”

While Gage went on to reiterate to Us that he certainly plans to “keep it more low-key on the second marriage,” he doesn’t have regrets about his making his private life so public —especially in his memoir, where he is able to, at times, laugh at what he also considers to be the darkest moments of his life.

“You have to [laugh],” he explained to Us. “I think that’s a coping mechanism. And also, like, some crazy s*** happens, but it’s also not that crazy — it’s universal. Like, people can connect with some of this dark stuff that has happened to me. And I think, you know, I made light of it.”

Lukas Gage Calls Chris Appleton Marriage ‘Manic,’ Hints at Signing NDA

He continued, “I always have humility with all things in my life, but, in reality, like that moment there was, you know, there was a trial and error with medications that I was on and being misdiagnosed. What comes with that, sometimes, is a manic, hyper mania going on. And yeah, it was a very impulsive, crazy time. But suddenly, when I put things into perspective and I got on the right dosage, and I, you know, got my mind clear, it just made sense that I made some of the decisions that I made, and they weren’t great, but, like I said earlier — no regrets, because maybe I wouldn’t have figured it out.”

The actor is aware that finding humor in the darkness isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, telling Us that he knows “a lot of people thought I was making [a] joke or making light of” difficult situations, including the end of his marriage.

“And of course, in a way, I was, you know?” he added. “Like, you have to make light of some of the dark moments.”

Justin Timberlake is grateful for his 13-year marriage with wife Jessica Biel.

“Happy anniversary @jessicabiel ❤️,” Timberlake, 44, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Saturday, October 4, sharing a handful of loved-up images of the couple. “My favorite person.”

Alongside a throwback image of Timberlake and Biel, 43, from their early dating days, the musician wrote, “Seems like this was just yesterday.”

Timberlake concluded his tribute with a sweet selfie, where he planted a kiss on Biel’s cheek while they explored nature.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Through the Years

Timberlake and Biel have been married since October 2012, during which they welcomed sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 5.

“It’s constantly trying to find the balance, trying to find the time,” Biel said on The View in 2024, revealing that their marriage is frequently a “work in progress.”

Biel and her kids recently accompanied Timberlake on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which wrapped in July after he was diagnosed with Lyme disease.

“Well, as these two incredible years come to an end and I look forward to the future, I wanted to write something from the heart,” Timberlake wrote in a lengthy Instagram statement. “This has been the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding, and, at times, grueling experience. I have been doing this for 30+ years (which feels crazy to say) –– and have given all that I have to this. I could not have done it without my family, friends, The TN Kids, and all of YOUR support.”

He added, “Among other things, I’ve been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don’t say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I’ve been up against behind the scenes. If you’ve experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you’re aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.”

According to the former ‘NSync performer, he was initially “shocked” by his diagnosis.

“At least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness,” he said. “I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring or keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I’m so glad I kept going. Not only did I prove my mental tenacity to myself but, I now have so many special moments with all of you that I will never forget.”

Justin Timberlake Shares Rare Family Pics With Jessica Biel on Mother’s Day

Biel, for her part, has been steadfast by Timberlake’s side throughout his ongoing health battle.

“Jessica has been extremely supportive of Justin’s health and wellness,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly last month. “They’re both strong people, and they’re great at finding a good balance for both of their needs. She’s been incredibly emotionally supportive when he needs her. They’re navigating Justin’s new normal very well.”

Per the insider, the Timberlake-Biel family “cherishes their time with each other more than ever” as a result of the singer’s diagnosis.

“They have so much support around them too [from] both Justin and Jessica’s family,” the source added to Us. “He has so much love around him and everyone’s just praying for his healing, for a full recovery.”

Ed Gein‘s crimes are the focus of the third season of Ryan Murphy‘s Monster — but it’s far from the first TV show or movie to be based on the prolific serial killer.

The first season of Monster debuted in 2022 and focused on Evan Peters‘ portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer, who was long known as the Milwaukee Cannibal a.k.a the Milwaukee Monster. In season 2, Lyle Menendez (Nicholas Chavez) and Erik Menendez’s (Cooper Koch) 1989 arrest for the murder of their parents was explored.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story, which premiered in October 2025, centered on Gein’s crimes. Nicknamed the “Butcher of Plainfield,” Gein was convicted of one count of first-degree murder and admitted to a second killing in the 1950s.

It has been suspected that Gein was involved in multiple other crimes around his Plainfield, Wisconsin, hometown. Gein also admitted to exhuming multiple graves and fashioning grotesque keepsakes out of the bodies.

Guide to Every Criminal in Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monster’: Menendez Bros, Ed Gein

“You have to have an enormous amount of love and empathy for a character that you play to be able to inhabit them. Because as despicable as Ed was in his acts, I wanted to find the human in there,” Charlie Hunnam told Variety at the time about playing Gein. “I personally don’t like to be forced to confront the most bleak and sinister elements of the human condition.”

He continued: “I could certainly see the accusation being leveled at me that I was too sensitive toward him, and let him off the hook a bit too much. My hope was, although I clearly don’t understand the function of these type of stories, I understand that people are very drawn to them. I needed to bring Gein to life in as honest and human a way as possible.”

Before Murphy chose Gein for Monster, the criminal served as the inspiration behind movies such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Psycho. Keep scrolling for more pop culture projects that used Gein as a jumping off point when creating fictional serial killers:

‘Psycho’

After inspiring Robert Bloch‘s 1959 novel Psycho, the story of Norman Bates — who was based on Gein — was adapted by Alfred Hitchcock. This version focused on Bates’ fixation on his late mother and grave robbing. (He was originally portrayed by Anthony Perkins in Hitchcock’s version and then by Vince Vaughn in 1998’s Psycho. Freddie Highmore played Norman in the Bates Motel TV show, and Joey Pollari took the role in Monster.)

‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’

The fictional character of Leatherface, who was at the center of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre horror films, was known for his weapon of choice: a chainsaw. Disturbing details from Gein’s crimes helped shape Leatherface as the masked killer.

‘The Silence of the Lambs’

Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs is a serial killer who lured, kidnapped and skinned women, which relied on Gein’s notorious behavior.

Most Anticipated Scripted True Crime TV Shows Coming Out Soon

‘Con Air’

Garland Greene (played by Steve Buscemi) is feared by other convicts because of his gruesome murders. Con Air pulled from Gein as a way to make Garland more frightening on screen.

‘American Horror Story: Asylum’

Season 2 of Murphy’s American Horror Story introduced Dr. Oliver Thredson a.k.a Bloody Face (Zachary Quinto), whose house of horrors included items crafted from human body parts, which was directly linked to Gein.

‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’

The third installment of Murphy’s scripted true crime series followed Hunnam as Gein while also exploring how the serial killer influenced American pop culture.
