The chatter spread across the internet earlier this week after she posted a TikTok of herself singing along to the band's 2001 breakup hit "How You Remind Me" and jabbed Jelly in the comments ... but she explains she's simply a fan of the band -- which is well documented.

Jelly Roll is already dating following his split from Bunnie XO ... at least according to Bunnie herself.

The podcast host opened up about the divorce on Thursday's episode, revealing that Jelly Roll is ready to date and has already started seeing people.

Far from being upset about it, Bunnie said she's happy for him and supports him getting back out there. She also encouraged interested women to shoot their shot, joking that Jelly Roll's Instagram direct messages are open.

Madison Square Garden apparently was not Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's first choice for a wedding bash ... our sources say the OG plan was north of New York City.

French Montana is putting his money where his mouth is ... he says he cut a $75,000 check to the New York cab driver whose taxi was destroyed during the Knicks title celebration.

Appearing on "CBS Mornings" Thursday, French revealed he gave 59-year-old Algerian immigrant Noureddine Bitat the money to help cover at least six months worth of living expenses while he gets back on his feet.

French said Noureddine was so shaken by the ordeal that he doesn't even want to drive a taxi anymore, so he's hoping the financial support gives him time to figure out his next move.

There is evidence Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will not tie the knot at Madison Square Garden in New York, and there is also evidence something wedding-related is going down at Taylor's massive, seaside Rhode Island mansion.
