Taylor Swift’s July wedding to Travis Kelce apparently came with a bonus storyline. Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly met at the celebration, and sources say the two are now“seriously dating.”Johnson made the romance official-adjacent on September 22 by flying to Italy to support MGK at the Vogue World: Milano runway show. So yes, the wedding of the year quietly launched another couple of the year.
Swift herself is staying busy on the music side. Her new track“Patient Zero”was inspired by a friend’s story about being contacted by an ex’s new girlfriend, and the song’s music video stars Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell. It premieres at the 2026 MTV VMAs on September 27, which means Johnson is about to be everywhere at once.
There’s also a football feud worth tracking. 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk was fined $14,926 by the NFL for what the league called an“imitation of chugging beer.”Juszczyk insists he was drinking juice and has appealed, while Jason Kelce suggested he take it further and sue the league for defamation. A hearing is coming. Which part of this story are you following closest?
