Machine Gun Kelly's Tuesday night concert in Michigan was a washout due to bad weather -- and it ultimately got canceled halfway through his performance!

We're told security ushered MGK off stage for his own safety and told the packed crowd to shelter in place under the amphitheater's large overhang or in their cars parked nearby.

Before this cute kid was spinnin' and makin' jams, he was just smising for the camera and growing up in Naperville, Illinois.

Bunnie XO has fans reading between the lines after she reposted a series of cryptic TikToks that appeared to touch on toxic relationships ... amid her split from Jelly Roll.

Several of the videos included messages about recognizing manipulation, setting boundaries, and walking away from unhealthy situations.

One post plainly mentioned ego wearing off and emotional immaturity ... as well as being spiritually unaware, narcissistic, and "lowkey evil."

Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO were undergoing in vitro fertilization just months before they pulled the plug on their marriage ... and now some of her thoughts on the issue are being re-examined.

In January, Bunnie told PEOPLE ... "I genuinely think that having those abortions when I was younger, the journey that I'm going on now with IVF, God's putting me through this again so that I can be a voice for those women who are going through this process."

Taylor Swift is a veteran of the stage, so it's befitting that she has commissioned a massive stage for her and Travis Kelce's wedding event at Madison Square Garden ... and it's being secretly built at a Pennsylvania production facility ... sources tell TMZ.

Jelly listed the date of marriage as August 30, 2016 ... and the date of separation as May 9, 2026 ... a little over a week before he filed for divorce.

Bunnie XO was joking about Jelly Roll on social media just before TMZ first reported he filed for divorce.

Bunnie shared a video of herself singing along to Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" on Instagram, and one fan hopped into the comments and recalled seeing Jelly Roll perform the same song as a surprise guest at The Comedy Store, telling her they'd forever cherish their video of Jelly's performance.

That's when Bunnie chimed in with a playful jab at Jelly, replying in a since-deleted comment ... "he always butchers Nickelback & Creed."

The comment looked like harmless spousal banter at the time, but it now stands out given what was happening behind the scenes.

The popstar popped up during Travis and Jason Kelce's live recording at The Orpheum Theatre in L.A. ... a clip played showing Taylor making airplane noises as she stuffed some pasta into Travis' mouth.

When Taylor appeared on the screen, the crowd absolutely ate it up ... kinda like Travis did with Taylor's spaghetti. As she fed him she joked, "It's landing. It landed safely."

Taylor's cameo was part of a playful segment where 'New Heights' producer Brandon Borders roasted Travis over Taylor airplane-feeding him food ... and then -- plot twist -- the screen cut to footage of Taylor actually doing exactly that, complete with full airplane mode commitment.

Taylor Swift may be in the final stages of planning her highly-anticipated wedding ... but that ain't keeping her away from her happy place ... the recording studio!
