Preserve the camaraderie.

Guests attending the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are said to have signed non-disclosure agreements, though these documents reportedly lack the solidity one might expect.

As reported by TMZ, the NDAs do not specify any kind of financial consequence, or indeed any sanction, for breaches of the agreement.

Moreover, the outlet reported on Tuesday that the agreements were issued without any accompanying film release notice.

Representatives for Swift and Kelce have not yet commented on inquiries from Page Six.

TMZ reported earlier this month that Swift and Kelce, both 36, sent their friends and family members NDA links once they confirmed wedding attendance.

Those going have been prohibited from sharing details about the star-studded ceremony, which we hear will take place at Madison Square Garden on Friday.

We hear the event’s A-list guest list includes Zoë Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid and more stars.

“I’ve heard Taylor invited so many people it’s going to be bigger than the Met Gala,” an industry insider recently told Page Six.

Another source shared that Stevie Knicks and Tim McGraw are set to perform at the bash.

The festivities will span multiple days, with Page Six confirming an intimate rehearsal dinner will be held at the iconic Manhattan venue on Thursday.

More than 1,000 guests are expected to watch the pop star and NFL player tie the knot the following day.

However, a source told us “it’s possible” the pair have already exchanged vows.

The duo have been together since the summer of 2023, with the Daily Mail reporting Friday that the athlete initially “wasn’t pursuing [Swift] heavily.”

The outlet claimed Kelce “wasn’t looking for anything serious” at first and was “definitely still dating around” before going “exclusive” with the Grammy winner in September 2023.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end proposed to his partner in August 2025.

DETROIT (AP) — In a city rich with cultural diversity, Jerry Esters takes pride in the daily display of the American flag outside his Detroit residence. Not far off, Yvonne Pistochini holds a contrasting perspective, refusing to let the Stars and Stripes grace her property under any circumstances.

Both individuals are Black.

For Esters, the flag is a beacon representing the pathways to success available to him as the great-great-grandson of enslaved ancestors. Meanwhile, Pistochini, now 79, reflects on her upbringing, stating that the nation symbolized by the flag is not the America she has experienced.

The American flag finds favor mainly among Republicans and older white adults, who are most inclined to display it. However, younger Democrats and Black adults often choose not to fly the flag. This dichotomy in perceptions of the flag—viewed by some as either a unifying force or a point of division—mirrors broader societal splits in how Americans perceive their national history and achievements.

“The flag represents both inclusion and exclusion for many Black Americans,” explained Matthew Delmont, a Dartmouth College American history professor. “While celebrating patriotism, the flag can also be wielded to enforce a sense of exclusion, sending the message that ‘you don’t belong here.’ Black Americans, perhaps more acutely than white Americans, comprehend this duality.”

The survey of 2,596 adults was conducted April 16-20. It suggests that older white Americans, especially Republicans, are more likely to see the flag as unifying.

About half of U.S. adults said they display the flag at home throughout most of the year, or during holidays. About 7 in 10 Republicans and about 6 in 10 Americans ages 60 and older fly the flag at least during holidays.

About 6 in 10 Democrats and independents, on the other hand, say they “never” fly the U.S. flag. That includes the vast majority, 75%, of Democrats under 45.

Opportunities worth fighting for

Esters, a 64-year-old retired clay sculptor for a Detroit automaker, flies three American flags at his Sherwood Forest home on the city’s west side.

“When these homes were built, Black men like me, my mother and my family … we couldn’t even buy these homes,” he said. “To me, that’s one reason I fly the flag. We went through a lot to be able to own nice homes, and this is what we fought for.”

The other reason is Moriah Martin, Esters’ great-great-grandmother, who was born into slavery.

“I’m kind of living out her dreams — what I did for a living, having a business, having a nice home,” he said. “I think that’s the American way, but we got to fight for it and we, as Blacks, fought for it.”

He’s in the minority among Black adults, according to the survey, which found that only about 3 in 10 Black adults say they ever display the American flag, compared with about half of white and Hispanic adults.

Pistochini says current divisions over political leanings and perspectives, and inequality of opportunities for the poor and people of color are not what she believes the flag should stand for. People confuse flying it with being patriotic, she added.

“Just because you fly a flag doesn’t make you a patriot,” Pistochini said. “If there was patriotism, we would not have all this. We can’t look at (what’s going on) and say this is America.”

For country and freedom

Ben Gaskins, chair of political science at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, says the flag is an important symbol of patriotism for many Americans.

“It is those who are older people, who are white and people who are more conservative,” Gaskins said. “They take it as more central to their identity.”

Nancy Hansen, a 73-year-old retired Customs and Border Protection clerk in Culvertson, Montana, believes “you have to be for the country, no matter what” and that the flag means “freedom.”

“Freedom to live where we want to live, travel where we want to travel, raise our kids where we want to raise our kids,” said Hansen, who is white and identifies as Republican.

Each year around July 4, the American Legion posts flags outside businesses and homes in Culvertson, including Hansen’s home.

Linda and Greg Cunningham also equate the flag with freedom.

The white, conservative Pontiac, Michigan, couple are going all out this summer. The exterior of their home northwest of Detroit is awash in red, white and blue. The flag sits atop a flagpole just feet from their door.

“It’s no political thing, at all,” said Linda Cunningham, 63. “It’s our freedom. I love the American flag. I love the whole concept of it. I love America. I know there’s so much going on in the world, right now, and I know everyone has their own views, and I’m just sad that politics have to be brought into the flag.”

Flag as a ‘painful reminder’

Of those who took the survey, 47% see the flag as a “more unifying” symbol. About 16% call it a “more divisive” icon, while 36% say it’s neither divisive nor unifying.

Only 22% of Black adults see the flag as a unifying symbol, compared with 55% of white adults and 42% of Hispanic adults.

“It’s a painful symbol. It’s a reminder of what we could be and how it’s failed to live up to that for Black people, for Indigenous people and people of color,” said Allison Wiltz, a Black author and founder of Writers and Editors of Color.

Paul Walthour, 71, occasionally flies the flag outside his Minneapolis-area home on special occasions and some holidays. Walthour says that when he’s away from home and at his cabin, the flag goes up each morning and is taken down at the end of the day.

“This is antiquated, perhaps,” said Walthour, who is white and a retired advertising agency creative director. “I feel it’s a symbol that you’re proud to be an American.”

“Unfortunately, I kind of think it’s kind of a symbol of dividing more than uniting,” added Walthour, who identifies as a Democrat. “The people who fly it on the far right have one kind of feeling about it, and the people who fly it on the left have a different kind of feeling about it.”

A father is in mourning over the untimely demise of his four young children, who were reportedly victims in a tragic murder-suicide involving poison.

In an interview with News Media, the children’s father, Brady Harmon, expressed his deep sorrow and the sense of shock that came with the heartbreaking news. “One can never be prepared for something so horrific,” he shared. “It’s unimaginable.”

According to police, the children’s grandmother is believed to have poisoned the four siblings and their mother before taking her own life in Mechanicville, New York, as disclosed during a press briefing on Thursday.

“Evidence recovered from the apartment points to deliberate poisoning using a variety of both prescription and over-the-counter medications,” remarked Mechanicville Police Chief William Rabbitt.

He added that during an autopsy examination it was discovered that one of the child victims may have “suffered fatal sharp force injuries.”

Investigators made their grim discovery during a welfare check at the home on Tuesday, June 23.

MPD named those found dead:

• Amy Steadman, 64
• Sarah Myers, 44
• Harper Harmon, 13
• Hudson Harmon, 11
• Gavin Harmon, 10
• Gracelynn Harmon, 10

During the news conference, police named Steadman as the children’s grandmother. Rabbitt said investigators found a “handwritten note” that may link her to the deaths.

He also said causes of death are pending additional investigation and toxicology testing.

Before the young victims were found dead, Harmon, who lives in Utah, told News Media he was planning on taking his children back to Utah with him for the summer. He never had the chance.

He was fighting an ongoing custody battle with the children’s mother, Myers, he said. He also told News Media he had concerns about the children’s safety and well-being before the tragedy.

His worst fears became realized.

“The system is broken, it takes way too long to get anything done. I spent six and a half years fighting to be able to have access to my kids,” he said.

While the murder investigation continues, Harmon said, “My concern right now is being able to bring my kids home, and have them away from those two monsters that did this to them.”

Travelers flying out of St. Louis Lambert International Airport are facing significant changes and expressing their dissatisfaction about them.

Southwest Airlines, known for its expansive service across the United States, is eliminating seven direct flights from this major Midwest hub. This adjustment is part of a larger transformation in their business operations.

The reductions were implemented in March 2026 but will notably affect passengers traveling between July and September 2026. This move underscores another strategic shift for the airline as it realigns its focus towards routes that promise stronger demand and better profitability.

Residents and visitors alike will no longer find flights from St. Louis to cities such as Des Moines, Little Rock, Tulsa, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Omaha, and Pensacola, according to aviation reports.

According to Southwest, this development isn’t as sudden as it might appear. Initially announced in August 2025, this transition has been in effect since March 2026, the airline informed the Daily Mail.

‘While it is true we “ended” seven routes from STL, we also added routes elsewhere to account for that change,’ the company confirms.

In its place, Southwest now operates Chicago Midway to Des Moines, Chicago Midway to Tulsa, and Chicago Midway to Wichita, along with Dallas Love Field to Oklahoma City and Nashville to Little Rock. 

The reason behind this change, according to Simple Flying, is the airline is moving away from its ‘current point-to-point network,’ which is where an airline flies planes directly from an origin to a destination, rather than routing passengers through a central ‘hub.’

Other airlines, like American and Delta, operate out of ‘hubs’ to have competitive control over a specific area. United Airlines, as one of the largest carriers in the US, has nine hub airports as a part of its global network. 

Now, Southwest has adopted a kind of hybrid model. 

While the company doesn’t use the term ‘hubs,’ it does coordinates its schedule to help passengers transfer between connecting flights in cities like Denver, Chicago-Midway, Baltimore and Dallas Love Field.

Despite those seven axed St Louis routes, Southwest continues to have a large presence at the airport. With 9,945 scheduled departures last quarter, St Louis cements its place as Southwest’s 11th-busiest base. 

Southwest’s upcoming flight routes also impact potential passengers in the south Florida area, with Simple Flying noting 43 routes changes after the carrier updated its flight schedules.

The aviation outlet analyzed Southwest’s submissions to aviation data firm OAG, comparing flights operated between January 2025 and May 2026 with those currently planned from June 2026 through March 2027. 

Southwest told the Daily Mail that the routes named were ‘never intended’ by their schedulers to permanently be part of its route network. 

‘We, like all airlines, routinely turn on and turn off routes based on seasonal demand,’ the statement continues. ‘Using the copious amounts of data available to us we’re able to marry Customer preferences with aircraft availability/staffing/airport space/etc.’

They argued that Orlando, Southwest’s largest operation in Florida, has ‘consistently grown’ over the past 18 months to two years. In fact, they hit an all-time high with 203 scheduled Saturday trips there during February 2027. 

This wouldn’t be the first time Southwest tweaked their flight paths – one Reddit user shared their frustration about traveling between St Louis and Oklahoma City, saying not only would it be cheaper to drive but also faster. 

‘This airline is just tanking, rapidly,’ they added. ‘I understand that changing to assigned seats and no more free checked bags just makes them like every other airline, but what is getting me is their new routes.’

‘Totally agree,’ another Reddit user chimed in. ‘I want to know who in their organization approved all these huge changes at once. I guess they saw it as ripping off a band aid.’ 

Another shared that the new point-to-point business structure was ‘yet another change I’m not thrilled about.’ 

‘I would give it two years until we begin seeing articles about the downfall of Southwest,’ one Reddit user wrote. ‘The experts will be perplexed as to how this happened.’
