Taylor Swift is singing about sports and feelings on her new album ... which is why a lot of people think she might've given her boyfriend Travis Kelce a shout-out.

The singer's new album "The Tortured Poets Department" dropped Friday ... and her song, "The Alchemy" paints a picture of a blossoming romance with loads of football lingo -- and plenty of her fans are pretty sure it’s a nod to her athlete boo.

Just dive into the lyrics and decide for yourself ... "So when I touch down / Call the amateurs and cut 'em from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown / Baby I'm the one to beat."

Dickey Betts -- the longtime guitarist from the Allman Brothers Band -- has died after some health issues ... this according to his family.

The musician's loved ones announced the sad news Thursday, saying he passed away at his home in Osprey, Florida, earlier today ... sharing, "Dickey was larger than life, and his loss will be felt world-wide." He died from cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Dickey's last few years were marred with ailments -- he had a mild stroke in August 2018, and the following month fell and hit his head while playing with his dog. The fall caused a brain bleed ... forcing him to undergo surgery.

Taylor Swift's new album supposedly leaked early -- and if it's real, fans are shocked to hear some Matty Healy references ... this when everyone thought it'd be all about Joe Alwyn.

Here's the deal ... a Google Drive link has been floating around the internet for the past 24 hours or so that purports to have all of Taylor's songs from "The Tortured Poets Department" -- her new project that's dropping Friday.

It's unclear if these are the real McCoy or not, but a lot of people on X think it's a legit leak -- and, if true, there's a lot of Swifties who are shocked to hear quite a bit about Matty.

It looks like people were better behaved at Coachella Weekend 1 this year ... because arrests were down significantly compared to last year, TMZ has learned.

Indio PD released their data from the festival's first installment ... and they say they only clocked 81 arrests in their system between Friday and Sunday -- which is pretty damn low compared to years past, especially 2023.

That's down 20% from the 102 arrests made last year. There was also a small smattering of citations issued -- just 47 -- and they're all handicap parking related ... down 43% from last year.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori were the center of attention at Disneyland, but not for some X-rated public display ... just family-friendly fun, sans any kids.

The couple was out Tuesday at the Happiest Place on Earth -- and they were appropriately clothed ... yes, Bianca too. Ye and BC strolled about with all the normies through the famous California theme park, even hitting the Star Wars Nite experience at one point.

Check it out ... Kanye and Bianca seemed to be in great spirits, smiling while making small talk and holding hands. The lovebirds were also filmed hand in hand walking down a winding path as they headed in and around Disneyland. Like we said, no children were in tow.

The Beatles are the gift that keeps on giving ... 'cause their kids are keeping the musical legacy going by teaming up and dropping new tunes.

Paul McCartney’s youngest son, James McCartney, and John Lennon's son, Sean Ono Lennon, have teamed up to drop a new folk-rock track called "Primrose Hill" -- and the song is nothing short of enchanting.

James, whose vocals are featured in the song, shared in an IG post a sunny day in Scotland, of all places, inspired the north London-titled track.

Taylor Swift fans are nothing if not committed, and with her new album dropping Friday ... they're going all out to scoop up every little detail they can, including at pop-ups.

Swifties were out in full force Tuesday to catch a glimpse of a temporary art installation at the Grove in Los Angeles, which offered a promise to give some insight into her new album -- and as you might imagine, massive lines were literally snaking around the block.

Even though details were hazy about what exactly the pop-up entails, some fans reportedly started lining up as early as 5 AM -- all just to get a glimpse of this makeshift bookshelf thing that was standing in the middle of the shopping center ... which was all Taylor-themed.

'80s hitmaker Kenny Loggins is peeling back another layer on the legendary recording of "We Are the World" -- revealing how he scored his pal Huey Lewis a solo when Prince bowed out.

Kenny spilled the tea on a recent episode of Huey Lewis' Apple Music show, as both artists were talking about "The Greatest Night in Pop" ... the Netflix documentary about the making of the 1985 charity record.

Huey says the doc helped him piece together lots of details about the recording ... including the fact Kenny was the one who suggested Huey sing the line originally intended for the "Purple Rain" singer.

Katy Perry says Jelly Roll would make a good 'American Idol' replacement before she dips -- this as the question of who's gonna fill her shoes continues to linger.

The singer told E! News she's all in for the rapper/country star to take her spot next season -- especially since he made a lasting impression on her during his guest appearance on the ABC show earlier this month.

She says "I gotta say, Jelly Roll was crazy when he came on the show" ... adding he had her totally convinced with all his industry knowledge.

Courtney Love ain't showin' much love for Taylor Swift -- in fact, she's got some harsh words for her ... not to mention for Beyoncé and a lot of other ladies in the modern pop space.

The alternative rocker made her controversial remarks in a recent interview with The Standard, first zeroing in on Taylor by calling her "not important." Love accused Taylor of being a "safe space for girls" and the Madonna of this generation.

She then ends her thoughts by saying T-Swift is "not interesting as an artist."

Coachella kicked off its first weekend on a high note ... managing to rack up a grand total of $0 in curfew fines, which seems to line up with how many tickets were still up for grabs.

A rep for the City of Indio -- where Coachella takes place -- tells TMZ ... no curfew rules were broken during the first installment of the festival, and everyone stuck to the 1 AM curfew for Friday and Saturday ... while shutting things down by midnight on Sunday.

In other words ... there was no reason to fine anyone for going over on time -- and considering the lackluster response to this year's lineup ... we suppose that makes sense.

Justin Bieber's giving his fans what they want -- if just for a brief moment ... as he got back on a stage to perform live, joining Tems for her Coachella set.

JB hit the stage with WizKid Sunday night at the California music festival, performing their hit song, "Essence" for the excited crowd. Check it out ... the audience goes totally nuts as Justin appears onstage in a black sweatshirt, cargo pants and a baseball hat.

Justin's cameo was a welcome surprise ... as the singer has been keeping a low profile following his Ramsay Hunt Syndrome diagnosis.

Billie Eilish is leaning into the fact that she's into girls -- planting a kiss on a female YouTuber at Coachella ... and smacking the gal's ass while she's at it.

The singer was filmed at the music fest this weekend, where she smooched with Quenlin Blackwell -- a Gen Z content creator who's been hanging out with BE a lot lately ... and with whom she's sparking romance rumors after this PDA moment.

Watch ... Billie could be seen grabbing Quenlin's face and pulling her in for a kiss while enjoying music at the festival. It wasn't super show-y or anything ... still, a kiss is a kiss.

11:22 AM PT -- A rep for CBS tells TMZ ... "A network programming timing error ended last night's Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones. We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song."

They add, "Due to the overwhelming demand from his legion of fans, BILLY JOEL: THE 100TH – LIVE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN will be rebroadcast in its entirety on CBS on April 19th at 9:00PM ET/PT."

Billy Joel and his fans got screwed during CBS' broadcast of his iconic 100th concert -- 'cause it started late, and got cut off early ... something that seriously pissed off viewers.

Will Smith made a rare appearance onstage this weekend -- crashing Coachella to perform a song from the '90s ... and doing it alongside none other than J Balvin.

Indeed ... very random, but no less entertaining. Balvin had an alien-themed design and aesthetic for his Coachella gig ... and at one point in the set, he brought out WS who was rocking his signature 'MIB' 'fit ... only to rap the "Men in Black" song from the titular movie.

The crowd loved it ... including Jada Pinkett Smith, J's girlfriend, Valentina Ferrer, and BLACKPINK sensation Lisa who were seen dancing together in the artist pit. Will's performance is getting rave reviews too, 'cause people could clearly hear his vocals as opposed to a backing track.

Colt Ford is doing a little better after suffering a heart attack -- but he's far from out of the woods, and won't be well enough to hit the stage anytime soon ... TMZ has learned.

The country singer's team confirms to TMZ that CF remains in the ICU following his medical episode ... which landed him in the hospital after a show in Arizona.

With that said, his team says Colt is steadily improving -- but it's pretty obvious he isn't doing great, because they've gone ahead and canceled the rest of his touring dates this year.
