Taylor Swift seemingly went out of her way to give 2 young victims of the Southport stabbing an "Enchanted" evening ... taking time away from her "Eras" tour to meet with them.

The pop star and her mother, Andrea Swift, appeared to have a meet and greet with the young victims while in London for her 5 sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium.

Both Taylor and her mother scooped the young girls up in hugs, and posed for several photos backstage ... where one fan notably had a bandage on her arm with the singer's lyric, "You drew stars around my scars," written on top.

There's no need to "Guess" the color of Charli XCX's underwear ... since the pop star put her undies on full display for Kim Kardashian's latest SKIMS campaign.

Check it out ... the queen of "Brat" summer got wet and wild for the new ads, where she posed in a sprinkler while wearing a little white cotton bralette and matching boxer shorts.

The photoshoot was a part of a larger launch for Kim's brand, which is set to drop SKIMS Cotton on Wednesday. (For those wondering, Charlie wore the Cotton Rib Split Neck Bralette and Boxer in Marble Stripe for her super-soaked spread.)

Bachelor Nation vet Chad Johnson's looking to score outside his TV franchise -- we got vid of the reality star getting tight with Sophie Sierra from "90 Day Fiancé."

"I believe in a thing called love ... just listen to the rhythm of my heart!"

YG's making peace over a hearty meal ... organizing a walk to put an end to years of strife between rivals Compton gangs -- and breaking bread, or in this case buns.

The rapper led the truce and walk Sunday ... joined by members of the Treetop Pirus and Fruit Town Pirus gangs, family members and kids as they journeyed through the streets of Compton.

During the walk, YG stopped off for food at Tam's Burgers ... bringing the whole squad into the small little shop with music bumping and the rapper even showing off some of his dance moves.

Kanye West is still riding for Donald Trump, but now he's doing it in a Cybertruck with new wife Bianca Censori ... and their surprise appearance at a Trump rally quickly got outta hand.

Ye and Bianca rolled up Saturday in Bev Hills, where supporters of the former president were waving American flags and "Make America Great Again" banners. They just stopped on the side of the road, but that was enough to fire up the crowd.

Per Haliey, YG asked her out on a date. ... watch the vid -- her response was less than enthusiastic.

"What are you looking at"? Hidden behind this squiggly wiggly star is an icon across the board: fashion, music, entertainment ... You name it! This Hollywood gal has done it all ... and then some! Put your celeb knowledge to the test and see if you can guess the unknown star!

Taylor Swift's concert is a family affair ... 'cause apparently her opener Suki Waterhouse's baby daddy Robert Pattinson's in the crowd -- and Paramore made a Twilight reference to highlight him!

The rock band took the stage at Wembley Stadium in London not long ago ... and, before their song "Decode" they shouted out the actor, dedicating the track to him.

Check out the video ... Hayley Williams calls him "Mr. Waterhouse" -- a cheeky nickname for the star -- before adding he has a killer's skin, a oft-quoted line from "Twilight."

Bebe Rexha says she was discriminated against at a German airport ... telling fans she wasn't allowed through security in what she's calling a "hate crime."

A well-known Britney Spears impersonator doesn't want to see a famous actress play the pop star on the big screen ... she says the biopic would be better served going in a different direction.

Britney's got final say on casting -- and Allegra wants to see her go with an unknown actress here.

Nicki Minaj is probably feeling vindicated ... because she just settled a lawsuit with a woman who made some wild statements against her ... and the woman had to apologize, admit she lied, and not mention Nicki and cocaine anymore … or else she'll have to pay a big penalty.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the settlement calls for Marley Green -- who goes by the social media persona "Nosey Heaux" -- to apologize for her false statements about Nicki ... namely, bogus claims Minaj was a cokehead.

TMZ broke the story ... Nicki sued Green back in September 2022 after she posted a video claiming Nicki was "shoving all this cocaine up her nose."
