Taylor Swift was over the moon when she spotted BF Travis Kelce ... after the NFL star surprised her during Sunday's "Eras" tour stop.

Check it out ... the Grammy winner smiled wide after she clocked the Kansas City Chiefs tight end in the crowd at her 3rd show at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

TK was at a California wedding over the weekend ... rushing to Europe to catch at least part of her Sunday concert in Ireland. Travis arrived in time for the "Folklore" era, as she performed her hit "August" in a red, flowing gown onstage.

O.J. Simpson was included in the 2024 BET Awards' "In Memoriam" segment ...

Check out the clip from the ceremony -- the audience was enthusiastically applauding Sunday as photos of the departed flashed onscreen ... but when O.J.'s picture appeared, labeling him  "Former NFL Player," an awkward silence enveloped the room.

As the shock wore off, a few hesitant claps could be heard ... but the atmosphere remained uneasy.

Politics and rap music collided at the BET Awards 2024 ... when Vice President Kamala Harris slyly dropped a Kendrick Lamar reference to drive home her point about the upcoming elections.

In a pre-recorded clip airing during the ceremony Sunday, Harris took a call from host Taraji P. Henson ... who was worried about freedoms, women's rights, and the Supreme Court.

Kamala agreed there was a lot at stake, adding, "The majority of us believe in freedom and equality, but these extremists, as they say, "They not like us.'"

Country star Brantley Gilbert is bidding adieu to his Georgia abode ... and looking to pocket some serious dough in the process.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Brantley built the house on the 12 acres of land he purchased back in 2010 ... but recently got a hankerin' for more and snapped up 300 acres of farmland nearby.

While Brantley clearly believes bigger is better ...  the 6-bedroom, 5-bath 8,446 sq ft property in Maysville, GA he's selling hardly suffers from size.

Hello, Miss American Pie ... an autographed copy of Don McLean's lyrics to his iconic hit is going up for sale, and even though it's not an original, it's still selling for a bundle.

Don's handwritten fair copy of the "American Pie" lyrics is hitting the market via MomentsinTime.com with a $154,000 price tag. Yes, that's some very rich pie.

For the uninitiated ... "fair copies" are handwritten lyrics penned by the artist after the original lyrics sheet is completed. Dan wrote this copy a few years back for a friend, and it's scribbled across 8 sheets of personalized parchment.

Chrissy Teigen's casting her vote for the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover ... and, she's no "Nonsense" about getting singer Sabrina Carpenter.

The model -- who appeared on the cover of this year's issue, BTW -- talked about her who she wants to follow in her footsteps in an interview with People ... and, she immediately pointed to the "Espresso" singer.

Teigen says Sabrina's participation in the mag would be awesome ... noting she and her kids are obsessed with SC's music right now -- though hopefully, the kiddos haven't heard Carpenter's steamy outros.

Kanye West created an app to promote his rap music, fostering a racist environment with brutal work conditions – while his wife, Bianca Censori, sent porn videos to staff which were accessible by minors, according to a new lawsuit.

The bombshell suit, filed in a U.S. District Court, named Ye and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, as defendants.

The suit alleges Kanye and co. engaged in "forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment."

Taylor Swift needed some help at her Dublin concert when she got too high ... and, we mean that literally because a platform malfunctioned and left her momentarily stranded in the air.

The singer-songwriter was jamming away to her track "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" from atop a raised platform Saturday at Aviva Stadium which was supposed to come down ... but, it didn't and left Taylor looking for a way off.

Check out the clip -- Taylor's sorta standing around before sitting on the lip of the platform and looking like she might risk the jump.

Pride Month's almost over, but some celebs are still finding ways to celebrate ... with one former late-night host coming out before June turns to July!

Amber Ruffin -- a writer on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" who hosted her own program "The Amber Ruffin Show" on Peacock -- came out in an Instagram post Sunday in a move she wrote won't shock a single damn person.

Alongside a pic of her in a tank top baring the word "Queer," she added the caption, "I’m using the last day of PRIDE to come out! Be proud of who you are, little babies! I know I am! And I can’t wait to be discriminated against for a new reason!!"

Michael J. Fox can still shred on the guitar ... taking the stage alongside Chris Martin and Coldplay -- and playing a mashup "Back to the Future" fans know so well.

The actor took the stage at the Glastonbury Music Festival in England Saturday night during the band's headlining set ... and, ya gotta watch the video 'cause it's a tear-jerking tribute to the film and TV legend.

The vid kicks off with Chris and the crew jumping into their hit song "Fix You" -- Michael's already onstage, sitting in a wheelchair and holding a guitar on his lap.

Justin Timberlake seems ready to move on from his recent legal drama ... 'cause not only has he addressed the incident onstage again -- he's got jokes too!

The singer-songwriter seemed to mock his recent arrest on DWI charges in Boston Saturday night ... and, video of his one-liner is circulating online.

Check out the clip ... JT starts by addressing the audience and seems like he's going to ask who's attending one of his shows for the first time -- before hitting the switch, asking if there's "anyone here tonight that is driving."

Zach Bryan got in on the "Hawk Tuah" craze, bringing the now-famous 21-year-old on stage Saturday night during his concert.

Zach, who is on his "The Quittin Time" tour, was performing at Nashville's Nissan Stadium when Haliey Welch -- AKA "Hawk Tuah" -- appeared on stage and the crowd went nuts!

They performed his song, "Revival" together and she gave a "Hawk Tuah" for the crowd.

Khloe Kardashian knows how to do it up big for her fam, hosting her 40th birthday party, and some huge stars showed up to perform.

The party was themed, "Khloewood," a play on "Dollywood." Not sure where the soiree went down, but we think somewhere in L.A.

Snoop, Kurupt and Warren G all took the stage.

Taylor Swift made an entire Irish venue swoon with pride Saturday night after telling them their country was the inspiration and imagery behind her album, "Folklore."

Taylor was performing at Dublin Aviva Stadium when she told the packed crowd, "'Folklore' in general, it just belongs to Ireland." She went on to explain how she began writing the album 2 days into the pandemic, and, "How I imagined the album world looking [was like] Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters. You guys have that on lock, too. That's very Irish, the storytelling."

She said she created a fantasy in her head to write the songs.. "... I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go to every single day while I was writing it... I gotta be honest, kinda seemed like Ireland."

We have a possible new couple alert from across the pond ... because we just got photos of Paul Mescal on a date with Gracie Abrams.

Check it out ... the Irish star and the "us." singer are sitting at a tiny table together inside a packed restaurant for what appears to be a dinner date.

Folks who were there say Paul and Gracie broke bread at BRAT Restaurant in London, where they ordered a bunch of small sharing plates.

Chris Pratt says he's willing to change cinematic universes, Kesha got booted from a gas station and Stefon Diggs is failing at Pilates ... all this on today's TMZ Hot Takes.

On "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles react to Chris telling our photog he's down to make movies in the DC Universe despite his Marvel fame.
