Cher’s Concerns About America’s Future and Trans Rights

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Cher articulated her increasing apprehensions regarding the future of the United States. As a dedicated advocate for social justice, she has consistently utilized her platform to highlight significant societal issues. This time, her attention was drawn to the possibility of former President Donald Trump returning to power. The prospect of his political resurgence greatly unsettled her, to the extent that she contemplated the idea of leaving the country. Reflecting on previous election cycles, Cher recounted the stress she experienced during those times, humorously remarking that it nearly impacted her health negatively.

The emotional gravity of her concerns is evident, as Cher has long been a vocal presence in political discourse. This honest reflection on her views about the nation’s trajectory underscores her readiness to voice her opinions, even when they may be uncomfortable. She openly conveys her unease about the uncertain future of the country, illuminating the psychological impact that such political changes can impose on individuals, especially those in the public eye.

Cher’s Personal Advocacy for Transgender Rights

Cher’s dedication to transgender rights is particularly personal. Her son, Chaz, is transgender, which has intensified her commitment to this cause. In a time when transgender rights in the U.S. face significant challenges, Cher remains a steadfast advocate. With the rise of restrictive legislation and societal resistance, the current environment for transgender individuals is fraught with difficulties. Cher expressed her worries about these anti-transgender measures, questioning the motives behind them: “I’m not sure what their ultimate plan is for trans people.”

Her advocacy goes beyond mere support. With a mother’s love and a strong sense of justice, Cher has emerged as a prominent figure in the ongoing struggle for transgender rights, diligently working to raise awareness and protect the rights of trans individuals. By sharing her personal narrative, she adds depth and significance to her advocacy efforts.The Influence of Cher’s Armenian Heritage on Geopolitical Matters

In addition to her commitment to transgender rights, Cher actively highlights geopolitical issues that resonate with her personal background. By embracing her Armenian heritage, she frequently utilizes her celebrity status to advocate for Armenia, especially in the context of the ongoing conflicts with Azerbaijan. Cher’s activism transcends national borders, as she seeks to illuminate the struggles faced by Armenians and the intricate international dynamics surrounding their rights and recognition.

Through her support for the Armenian cause, Cher emphasizes the significance of global unity. Her ability to intertwine her personal heritage with her advocacy work enables her to approach these issues with authentic insight, establishing her as a credible champion for the Armenian community. The convergence of her efforts in both local and global contexts illustrates her extensive commitment to human rights.

A New Phase in Cher’s Musical Career: A Christmas Album

Despite the weight of her activism, Cher continues to produce art that spreads joy. She has recently unveiled a Christmas album that exudes positivity and festive spirit. Collaborating with music icons such as Stevie Wonder and Cyndi Lauper, Cher infuses classic holiday tunes with a contemporary flair, ensuring her artistic vitality remains intact. This album serves as a reminder that even in the face of significant social and political challenges, there is always space for creativity and happiness.

Cher’s latest musical project showcases her talent for harmonizing personal expression with the broader societal issues she passionately supports. In a time marked by global turmoil, her music provides a much-needed respite, highlighting the importance of joy and connection.Through her vocal advocacy for social justice, Cher has established herself as a formidable champion for marginalized groups. Her efforts in support of transgender rights, her dedication to the Armenian community, and her engagement with critical political matters position her as a significant player in the pursuit of equality. It is her genuine nature and determination to pursue justice that have enabled her to create a lasting influence.

Cher’s activism is deeply rooted in profound empathy and compassion. This connection to her own experiences, coupled with her commitment to social justice, continues to motivate individuals globally. As Cher remains a prominent figure in both activism and the arts, she consistently demonstrates that being in the public eye transcends mere celebrity; it is also about effecting meaningful change in society.

I Found These At My Grandma’s House And Have No Idea What They Are

Thimbles: Small Tools with a Long History. Though small enough to fit on a fingertip, thimbles have a rich history spanning centuries and cultures. Originally made to protect fingers while sewing, they evolved into artistic objects, symbols of status, and beloved collectibles.

From Ancient Times to Modern Collectibles. The earliest thimbles, found in Pompeii and dating to the 1st century AD, were made of bronze—simple yet durable. Over the centuries, thimbles developed in both form and meaning. In medieval Europe, makers used leather, wood, and metal. By the 14th century, Nuremberg became known for high-quality brass thimbles, and by the 17th century, silver and gold versions appeared, often adorned with enamel or gems.

More Than a Sewing Tool. Used by bookbinders, lace-makers, and leatherworkers, thimbles became essential tools in various trades. They also entered popular culture—like in Peter Pan, where a thimble symbolized a kiss, or as a game token in Monopoly, showing how common sewing once was.

From Tools to Treasures. Today, collectors prize thimbles made from porcelain, silver, and other materials, often focusing on design or historical era. Museums such as the Fingerhut Museum in Germany showcase thousands, each telling a unique story.

A Lasting Legacy. Though no longer essential for daily life, thimbles continue to inspire. Modern artisans create both traditional and innovative versions, proving that this tiny tool still holds a powerful connection to history, creativity, and craft.

Breaking_News | The Vatican has just appoin…

Cardinals will meet next month in a secret conclave to elect the next pope, the Vatican has said.
The closed-door meeting will start inside the Sistine Chapel on 7 May and will involve some 135 cardinals from across the world.
It follows the death of Pope Francis who died at the age of 88 on Easter Monday and whose funeral was held on Saturday.
There is no timescale as to how long it will take to elect the next pope, but the previous two conclaves, held in 2005 and 2013, lasted just two days.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said cardinals will take part in a solemn mass at St Peter’s Basilica, after which those eligible to vote will gather in the Sistine Chapel for the secretive ballot.

Once they enter the Sistine Chapel, cardinals must have no communication with the outside world until a new Pope is elected.

There is only one round of voting on the first afternoon of the conclave, but the cardinals will vote up to four times every day afterwards.

A new pope requires a two-thirds majority – and that can take time.

Each cardinal casts his vote on a simple card that says, in Latin: “I elect as Supreme Pontiff” to which they add the name of their chosen candidate.

If the conclave completes its third day without reaching a decision, the cardinals may pause for a day of prayer.

Outside the Sistine Chapel the world will be watching for the smoke from the chimney.

If the smoke is black, there will be another round of voting. White smoke signals that a new pope has been chosen.

On Saturday, politicians and royalty joined thousands of mourners as Pope Francis’ funeral was held in St Peter’s Square.

Hymns played out on giant speakers, occasionally drowned out by the sound of helicopters flying overhead, before 91-year-old Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re gave a homily on the pope’s legacy.

After a ceremony, huge crowds lined the streets of Rome to watch as the Pope’s coffin was carried in a procession to his final resting place, Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica.

Authorities said 140,000 people had lined the streets, clapping and waving as the hearse – a repurposed white popemobile – crossed the Tiber river and drove past some of Rome’s most recognisable sights: the Colosseum, the Forum and the Altare della Patria national monument on Piazza Venezia.

On Sunday images of Pope Francis’s tomb at the church were released showing a single white rose lying on the stone that bears the name he was known by during his pontificate, below a crucifix illuminated by a single spotlight.

lalmost left after seeing our baby, but my wife’s secret changed everything

After years of waiting, trying, and praying, Elena and I were finally going to become parents. I couldn’t wait for the moment I would hold our baby in my arms, but when that day finally arrived, I was met with shock and disbelief.

“Honey,” Elena said one day, “I think I want to be all by myself in the delivery room.”

Her words weren’t something I expected to hear. Why wouldn’t she want me there, I wondered. But she said she needed to do it alone, so I agreed.

Midjourney

A couple of days later, we went to the hospital. I kissed Elena at the entrance to the maternity ward and all I could do was wait.

Finally, the doctor emerged, but the expression on his face said something was wrong. As I headed to Elena’s room, my heart plummeted.

I felt relieved when I saw Elena was fine.

She had our baby in her arms, but her usually bubbly demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

Pexels

She looked at me straight in the eyes and showed me our baby girl. The little one had pale skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. My heart dropped. “YOU CHEATED!” I yelled.

“Marcus, I can explain,” Elena said as she tried to grab my hand.

My world spun. Both she and I are two black people, and our child was white.

She tried to convince me that baby was ours, but I couldn’t understand how that could be.

“Don’t lie to me, Elena, this couldn’t be my girl. I’m not an idiot,” I screamed from the top of my lungs.

Pexels

The nurses around us tried to calm the situation, but I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.

“Marcus, please take a look at this,” Elena said, pointing to the tiny birthmark on my daughter’s feet. It was the same birthmark my brother and I have – exactly the same.

“There’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you years ago,” Elena said, and that’s when I learned she carried a rare recessive gene that could cause a child to have pale skin and light features, regardless of the parents’ appearance.

She said she didn’t tell me before because she believed the chances of our baby being born white were slim.

I started at the baby girl. Her birthmark should have been proof enough she was mine, but I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions I struggled to juggle with.

Elena’s words sound genuine. I trusted her, and soon, my anger was replaced with feelings stronger that any other, that of love and trust.

When we brought our little bundle of joy home, we knew we would face the judgement of my part of the family, but we never assumed their criticism would be so harsh.

Both my mother and brother called me an idiot who was letting his wife fool him, telling me I should face the facts that that baby wasn’t mine.

What’s most, they laughed at the story of the gene Elena carried, saying it wasn’t something real but nonsense.

Pexels

One night, I heard the door of my daughter’s room open, so I went to check what was going on. It was my mom, she had a damp washcloth in her hands, trying to rub off my baby’s birthmark in order to show me Elena was lying to me.

That’s when I realized I had it enough.

I told my mom to leave my home. “Mom, you either accept our baby or get out of our lives,” I yelled at her.

Elena was woken up by the screams. She started crying and I apologized for not standing up to her sooner.

Midjourney

“Marcus, for everyone’s peace of mind, I think we should do a DNA test,” Elena said.

I knew that we didn’t need to prove anything to anyone, but I agreed.

As expected, the results showed the little one was our baby. I was her biological father.

When we showed the test results to my family, they all apologized. Some of those apologies were heartfelt, and others were awkward.

Midjourney

At that moment, I felt a sense of peace settle over me. My family might be different, but it’s mine, and it’s perfect.

My Relatives Started Complaining about My Wife’s Meals at Our Monthly Family Dinners – So We Decided to Secretly Test Them

My wife Megan poured her heart into our family’s monthly dinners, but all she got in return were cruel comments from my relatives. After witnessing her tears one too many times, I set up a secret test to expose the real reason behind their relentless criticism. What I found out left me heartbroken.

Our family has a long-standing tradition of hosting monthly dinners, a custom that dates back to when my dad was a kid. My grandmother started it all by bringing her siblings together over meals, which strengthened their bond.

As Dad and his siblings grew up, they adopted this tradition and invited each other over for dinner every month. I still remember how my siblings and I used to wait for that day each month so we could meet our cousins and have a great time.

Mind you, these weren’t just ordinary family dinners. Dad would go all out with the decorations, while Mom ensured there were at least three dishes on the table.

I remember one time Dad even ordered pizza for us kids, and it turned into one of our best nights.

Now, since my siblings and I have grown up, we have also adopted this wonderful tradition.

A few months ago, my older sister, Angela, invited us to her place and she made the most delicious chicken pie I’ve eaten! Even my wife, Megan, loved it.

Since we took turns hosting, I had also invited my siblings, along with their spouses and kids, to our place multiple times. I have two older siblings; Dan and Angela, and two younger siblings; David and Gloria.

Usually, we have around 13-14 people when everyone comes over with their spouses and kids. Occasionally, my aunt Martha joins us too. We’ve always been close to her.

My wife was excited to be part of the tradition when we first started, even before we were married. Initially, I did the cooking, but she took over after a while.

“You know I find cooking to be very therapeutic, babe,” she reassured me. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything.”

That’s just how Megan is. So understanding and helpful.

I thought everything would be fine until the day we hosted dinner and revealed that Megan had cooked the food.

“I knew it!” Angela said. “I was wondering why the food tastes so off today. It’s just… so bland!”

“I agree,” Dan muttered. “Why is the chicken so dry?”

“Maybe use less seasoning next time,” Mom added.

I’ll never forget the look on Megan’s face that day. It hurt to see her so crushed, especially after all the effort she had put in.

“I think the chicken is perfect!” I cheered for Megan. “What do you think, David?”

“Yeah, it’s really nice,” David smiled at Megan. “It’s perfect!”

“Shouldn’t you cook what everyone likes?” my aunt asked Megan. “That way, no one will complain next time.”

Advertisement

“Yeah, I…” Megan began in a trembling voice, almost on the verge of crying. “I’ll cook something else next time.”

What’s wrong with them? I thought. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the chicken Megan had made. Honestly, it was even better than what I’d cooked the other day.

Later that night, I found Megan crying in the bedroom.

“Babe, they shouldn’t have treated you like that,” I said, hugging her tightly. “Your cooking was amazing. I promise. Even David loved it.”

“Only David said that,” she cried. “Everyone else hated it. I won’t cook for them again.”

“Hey, don’t let them get you down,” I said, looking her in the eyes. “You’re strong, remember?”

That night, I convinced Megan to cook for my family at the next family dinner, but I guess that was the biggest mistake of my life.

Megan cooked my mom’s favorite roasted chicken with a side of veggies, and the red sauce pasta that Angela loved. She had perfected her recipe by watching a couple of YouTube videos, hoping my family would love it.

However, when it was time for dinner, Mom and Angela passed the meanest remarks. I couldn’t believe my ears because I thought the food was phenomenal.

“I don’t think you should ever make this pasta again, Meg,” Angela said, shaking her head. “It tastes awful.”

“I’ll send you my recipe tonight,” Mom said, discreetly spitting out a piece of chicken. “This isn’t what I’d call roasted chicken.”

Megan just shook her head in silence as she looked at each one of them. Then, she walked into the kitchen, and I followed. I knew she was already in tears.

“Babe, I loved the food,” I said, placing my hand on her shoulder. “I don’t get why Mom and Angela are acting this way.”

“Your sister said the pasta tastes bad!” Megan whispered as tears trickled down her cheeks. “I made the one dish she loves the most and she doesn’t even like it. What am I supposed to do?”

That’s when I heard Mom say something that sent a wave of anger up my chest.

“She’s not even trying,” Mom said in a low voice so we couldn’t hear her.

“Didn’t she learn from last time?” my father’s voice echoed through the living room.

That’s when I rushed toward the dinner table to defend Megan. I couldn’t take it anymore.

“Can’t you guys be nice to her? What’s with all this drama?” I confronted them. “Why can’t you just appreciate her a bit? She always works so hard to cook for you guys!”

“Really?” Angela raised an eyebrow. “Then why can’t she ever get anything right?”

“If she cooked better, we wouldn’t have to complain,” Mom scoffed. “We’re not asking for gourmet food, just something we can eat.”

I knew arguing with my family was pointless, so I just walked back to the kitchen. Megan stood there with her arms folded across her chest. She had heard me confront them.

“They never complained when you cooked,” she said. “Are they doing this on purpose?”

Her words made me suspicious. Could my family really be criticizing her on purpose?

A few days ago, when it was our turn to host dinner again, I suggested we secretly test them. I told Megan we’d pretend I had prepared dinner, while she would be the person cooking everything.

At first, Megan refused saying she didn’t want to feel humiliated again. But she agreed when I insisted. I was certain this would reveal the truth.

So, Megan made the same dishes again. Red sauce pasta and roasted chicken.

“I cooked everything today,” I said as soon as my family sat down for dinner. “I used your recipe for the chicken, Mom. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

And that’s precisely what happened.

Not only did Mom love the roasted chicken, but Dad, Angela, Dan, and even Aunt Martha couldn’t stop raving about it.

“This is the best pasta I’ve ever tasted!” Angela said, smacking her lips. “I love it, Brandon!”

“I’m glad you took over again!” Dad said.

“Yeah, man,” Dan added, “I never knew my brother could cook this well!”

I looked at Megan and I knew exactly what she was thinking. The food they were raving about was the same food they’d criticized just a few dinners ago. The same dishes, but they thought I had made them.

My younger siblings, David and Gloria, struggled to control their laughter because they knew what was going on. Meanwhile, everyone else had dinner like it was the best meal they’d ever had.

“Okay, I need to confess something,” I said, grabbing everyone’s attention. “But before that, I just need to confirm you all loved the food, right?”

They all nodded.

“Well, I didn’t cook anything,” I revealed. “This was all Megan’s magic. She cooked this for you all just like she’s been doing it for months.”

The room went silent.

I could see Mom’s face had flushed red with embarrassment, while Angela started focusing on her drink. Meanwhile, Dad tried to cover up, “Well… I mean… it’s just that, maybe she’s gotten better at cooking?”

They all tried to backtrack, but the damage was done. Megan and I finally understood what had been going on all this time.

Later that night, Megan and I were in the bedroom when I apologized to her for everything.

“I’m done with these monthly dinners,” I told her. “This was the last one we hosted, and the last one we’ve attended. I won’t be a part of them anymore if all they want to do is humiliate my wife.”

“But that’s part of your family traditions,” Megan said. “I think you should attend the dinners at least.”

“I don’t care about any tradition now,” I rolled my eyes. “They disrespected you, and I can’t stand that.”

A man talking to his wife | Source: Midjourney

We didn’t attend the next family dinners, and after two months, my parents and siblings started asking questions. I told them outright we weren’t coming back.

“You guys ruined everything by humiliating my wife,” I told Mom one day.

“Seriously, Brandon? You can’t do this!” she yelled at me over the phone. “You’re ruining your relationship with us because of her.”

I hung up, knowing that arguing with her was pointless. My family’s constant complaints made sense now. They weren’t happy with Megan, and Gloria later confirmed it.

A woman looking outside the window | Source: Midjourney

“Mom and Angela have always been like that,” she revealed. “They always pretended to like Megan because you wanted to marry her, but the truth is that they never approved of her. They believe she’s too different, that she’s not ‘family enough.’”

Gloria’s words confirmed what I had feared all along, that I had made the right choice in standing by Megan. She deserved better than a family that couldn’t appreciate her for who she was.

A woman smiling | Source: Midjourney

As we moved forward, I realized that our little family mattered the most and that the love and support we shared were far more important than outdated traditions or hurtful opinions.

I decided that Megan and I would create our own traditions, ones filled with respect and kindness, where every meal felt like home, no matter who cooked it.

One Month Before A Heart Attack, Your Body Will Warn You Of These 7 Signs

Were you aware that heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the United States? The fast-paced lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits are major factors in the rise of this illness in recent years. Knowing the symptoms of heart failure a month in advance can be extremely beneficial and even life-saving. In addition to leading a healthy lifestyle and reducing stress levels, this knowledge can help protect you from heart failure.

Pay attention to these signs as they could indicate a heart attack within a month. It is crucial to consider them as warning signs.

Swollen Feet
If you have congestive heart failure, your heart’s lower chambers may lose their ability to effectively pump blood. As a result, blood can accumulate in your legs, ankles, and feet, leading to swelling. Fatigue
When your arteries narrow, your heart receives less blood than it needs. This causes your heart to work harder than usual, resulting in excessive tiredness and drowsiness.

Shortness of breath
When your heart receives less blood, your lungs may not receive enough oxygen as well. Since these two systems are interconnected, difficulty in breathing may indicate a need for immediate medical attention, as it could be a sign of an impending attack. READ MORE BELOW

This Historic Image Has Never Been Edited. Take A Closer Look In The First Comment Below

Elizabeth Montgomery. Credit / Getty Images

When you hear the name Elizabeth Montgomery, it’s impossible not to hear the little twinkle that accompanied her character’s nose twitch on Bewitched.

The stunning actress became a household name and global phenomenon in the 1960s – but sadly, she died unexpectedly in 1995.

At Newsner, we have written about many beautiful and talented women – but Elizabeth Montgomery stole my youthful heart right off the bat.

Most movie & TV actors and actresses need makeup and hair stylists to make them look good – Elizabeth did not. She was a natural beauty, and I loved watching her in Bewitched.

So what happened to Elizabeth Montgomery after her run as Samantha Stephens in the popular 1960s sitcom?

In 2024, the talented actress would have celebrated her 91st birthday, but let’s take a look back at her career in film and television before her untimely death in 1995.

Elizabeth Montgomery was born in Los Angeles on April 15, 1933 to a Broadway actress and film star, so acting was in her blood since birth.

“Dad tells me I often climbed on his lap after dinner and remarked, ‘I’m going to be an actress when I grow up.’ I don’t know whether he encouraged me or not, but he told me he would humor me and would tell me to wait and see what happened when I grew up,” Elizabeth said in 1954 interview with the Los Angeles Times.

Her father, Robert Montgomery, was a very popular and acclaimed actor.

”I’ll be real honest and say that Daddy did help me get a break in TV and I’m really grateful for his assistance and guidance. He’s my most severe critic, but also a true friend as well as loving father.”

Elizabeth attended school in California before moving to New York City, where she attended the Spence School. After graduating, she attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts for three years.

When she was still a teenager, she made her television debut on her father’s show, Robert Montgomery Presents. She continued to make several appearances on his show.

By 1953, Elizabeth had made her Broadway debut starring in Late Love. Two years later in 1955 she appeared in her first film, The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell, and then two years later she returned to Broadway.

As her career continued to advance, Elizabeth found love, but it never lasted long.

Wikipedia Commons

In 1954 she married Frederick Gallatin Cammann, but the couple divorced a year later. She married Gig Young, an award-winning actor, in 1956, and the two stayed married until they divorced in 1963.

While filming Johnny Cool, Elizabeth met William Asher, a director and TV producer. Not only would he prove to be beneficial to her career, but the two also hit it off romantically.

They married in 1963 and had three children together.

Starring in Bewitched

While Elizabeth Montgomery did star in shows such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Loretta Young Show, The Untouchables, and The Twilight Zone, perhaps her most well-known role was as the nose-twitching witch Samantha Stephens on Bewitched.

The supernatural comedy, which aired for eight seasons from 1964 to 1972, propelled Elizabeth into the spotlight.

Suddenly she became a household name and everyone was trying to replicate Samantha’s famous nose twitch.

”I’d never thought much about a series because I liked the idea of picking a script I liked with a character I thought I could sustain for an hour. In a series, you live with one character day in and day out – and you only hope it will be one that will not drive you crazy,” Elizabeth told AP in 1965.

She earned five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and four Golden Globe Award nominations during her spell on the show.

Following Bewitched‘s run and the end of her marriage with Asher, Elizabeth went on to star in many made-for-television movies, many which were in stark contrast to her previous role on Bewitched.

She starred in Mrs. Sundance (1973), A Case of Rape (1974), The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975), Black Widow Murders (1993), The Corpse Had a Familiar Face (1994), and Deadline for Murder: From the Files of Edna Buchanan (1995).

It was during the filming of Mrs. Sundance that she met Robert Foxworth. The two remained together until Elizabeth’s death in 1995, though they didn’t get married until 1993.

“Before Jane Seymour, before Lindsay Wagner and before Valerie Bertinelli, Elizabeth was the first Queen of the TV movies; she went from queen of the witches to queen of the TV movie and it was no longer a struggle to break away from Bewitched,” Herbie J Pilato, author of two books on Elizabeth Montgomery, said.

Unfortunately, her career was cut short when on May 18, 1995 after a long battle with colon cancer.

According to the Los Angeles Times, her family reported she was 57 when she died, though many places listed her birth year as 1933, making her 62 at the time of her death.

The actress had battled the disease for years and had believed she was cancer-free, but while filming Deadline for Murder: From the Files of Edna Buchanan, she became ill.

By the time she was able to get checked out in March 1995, it was too late. The cancer had spread to her liver.

Elizabeth died in her sleep at her home in Beverly Hills with her husband and three children by her side. One month after her passing, a memorial was held at the Canon Theatre in Beverly Hills. Famous jazz musician Herbie Hancock played music and the author Dominick Dunne, Elizabeth’s lifelong friend, spoke about their early years of friendship when they lived in New York City.

The Bewitched star had her body cremated at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.

On playing a variety of characters throughout her career, Elizabeth said in a 1992 interview:

“They all have different kinds of ‘feels’ to them and that’s probably one of the reasons why I’ve done them. I get letters from people saying one of the things they like best about what I’ve done since ‘Bewitched’ is that they never know what I’m going to do next.”

Looking back at photos from her time on the Bewitched, we are instantly transported to a simpler, more innocent era.

Elizabeth’s playful charm and iconic nose twitch remind us of a time when magic was just a flick away. With each smile, Elizabeth brought warmth and joy to countless families, and her legacy continues to shine brightly today, reminding us of television’s golden age.

“Elizabeth was the least arrogant star I’ve ever met,” Herbie J Pilato, author of Twitch Upon a Star and executive producer of the documentary Elizabeth Montgomery: A Bewitched Life, told Closer in April 2023. “She channeled that down-to-earthiness into Samantha, and we all loved her.”

Such a naturally gorgeous woman! It’s a shame that she was taken from us way too soon.

After Two Years of Secret Romance, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Finally Made Their Love Official in a Stunning Garden Proposal

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce: From Spark to Engagement. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have taken their “storybook” romance to the next chapter—they’re officially engaged. The NFL star popped the question, and Swift said “yes,” sharing the news in a playful joint post on August 26 with the caption, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”

How It All Began Their connection started subtly in the summer of 2023 when Kelce made his move with a friendship bracelet—an attempt to hand it to Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City. Although he didn’t get the chance, Swift spotted his podcast mention of the missed moment later and was “metal as hell.” Those first glimpses unfolded into a relationship that was quietly building behind the scenes.

By fall, they were publicly dating—Taylor made her presence known at a Chiefs game with Travis’s mom, and the chemistry couldn’t be ignored. Neither would confirm it as a “first date,” but both have acknowledged how they grew together privately before going public.

Supporting Each Other on Stage and Sidelines

Swift and Kelce have been each other’s #1 supporter. She’s attended 13 of his games, including celebrating the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win with a passionate sideline display, complete with an exchange of “I love yous.” He’s made global appearances cheering on her Eras Tour, showing up at stadiums worldwide.

Taylor even poured her feelings into her latest album Tortured Poets Department with songs like “So High School” and “The Alchemy,” where Travis-inspired lines appear subtly woven into her lyrics. He’s been there for her creative milestones; she’s been there for his wins on the field. What Their Engagement Means

In their love story, there’s no pretense—just mutual admiration. As Taylor told TIME, “We’re showing up for each other… and we don’t care.” Their engagement feels like the next natural step.
