Ryan Seacrest just got conveniently ordained (where does this man find the time?) ... so on top of his million other gigs, he’s tossing his hat in the ring to officiate Taylor Swift’s wedding ... and the pop queen is already in the know!

On Tuesday’s 'On Air' show, Ryan told Taylor over the phone he’d just officiated cohost Tanya Reid’s wedding ... and Taylor asked if he’d done a good job, with Tanya giving Ryan a whopping 20 stars out of 10.

Travis Kelce has finally publicly addressed Taylor Swift's new song about his penis ... and the Chiefs tight end got a little stiff when talking about the tune.

Jason Kelce was actually the one who got the footballer to open up on "Wood" during Wednesday's episode of "New Heights" -- and while Travis said he liked it, he was quite shy when pressed to give further comment.

Jason, though, had no problems giving his take on the track -- even joking that if someone wrote a song about his junk ... it certainly wouldn't include the line, "Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see."

Bad Bunny has ruffled lotsa feathers on the conservative right ... and the list now includes House Speaker Mike Johnson, who thinks the singing sensation is bad for the Super Bowl -- and for kids!

Johnson gave his take on Bunny to reporters outside the House chambers in D.C. Tuesday ... and it might shock some of you to hear what the speaker had to say.

The Homeland Security Secretary told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson she's listened to the snippet of Bryan's song -- where he sings ICE has plans to "bust down your door" -- saying ... "I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is, not just to law enforcement but to this country."

She goes on to say ... "To every single individual that has stood up and fought for our freedoms. He just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that, that attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.”

Taylor Swift is keeping her Showgirl sparkle going strong ... stepping out in New York City for dinner during her whirlwind press tour for her new album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The pop superstar was spotted Monday night at The Eighty Six in Manhattan rocking a preppy-chic fall look -- a plaid mini skirt paired with a fitted black long sleeve sweater and tall brown boots.

Swift was all smiles as she arrived at the restaurant, turning the sidewalk into the runway after days of interviews and surprise fan appearances promoting her 12th studio album.

Swift's The Life of a Showgirl dropped last Friday and is already smashing records across streaming platforms with fans praising the album's cinematic storytelling and unapologetically theatrical production.

Yungblud's apparently a big Swiftie ... because he came out with a full-throated defense of Taylor Swift's music during an interview with Bill Maher.

Eric Dickerson is urging Bad Bunny to pull out of the Super Bowl halftime show if he is, indeed, not a fan of the United States ... saying the "Tití Me Preguntó" crooner should straight up "keep his ass where he's at" if he truly feels some type of way about the Red, White and Blue.

The NFL legend made his opinion loud and clear during a chat with a photog out at LAX on Monday night ... saying he's "heard some stuff" Bad Bunny's said about America -- and if it's true, he'd rather anyone else play during February's big game.

"I'm from the U.S.," Dickerson said. "I love my country. And if you don't like the United States, just get your ass out of here and don't come over here."

Master P keeps trying to retire from rap in favor of basketball, but the game keeps pulling him back in ... like a No Limit Records Verzuz Cash Money Records showdown!!!

During this year's ComplexCon, Birdman and his legacy will be squaring off against P's in a battle for New Orleans hip hop's soul. No, seriously.

Thankfully for the culture and music history, No Limit and Cash Money's rivalry never crossed the line like other rap feuds, but their competition moved mountains for the future of Southern hip hop.

Andra Day's former management team is suing her for $850K for breach of contract ... but the "Rise Up" singer is barking back with a suit of her own, claiming it's HER who's owed a ton of money!!!

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Andra is suing Jeffrey Evans and his companies -- Buskin’ LLC and BassLine Management -- for allegedly misappropriating her funds and living large on her dime.
