Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff thanked fans for making their song “Cruel Summer” number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Taylor posted a video to her socials celebrating the achievement. “Our favorite song from Lover,” Jack said in the video. “The song that we said was the best song but we thought, ‘Oh, you know what, this is our secret best song.’ That’s what we thought.” Taylor joked that her fans made it happen even though it’s not the summer anymore. “It’s deep fall. I’m wearing a sweater,” she said.

In other news, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid praised Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce‘s performance after they won against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. “Kelce keeps getting better with time,” Andy said, before he made his best guess as to why. “Taylor can stay around all she wants.”

Celine Dion and Melissa Etheridge are among the musicians participating in Music Health Alliance’s Lyrics for a Cause benefit auction, which opened Monday. The auction’s in support of the Music Health Alliance, a nonprofit that provides free health care and resources to the music industry. Lyrics are handwritten on guitars donated by Gibson, then auctioned off. Melissa’s contribution will feature “I’m the Only One” written on an Epiphone Hummingbird guitar. Additionally, handwritten bars and lyrics of Celine’s songs “The Prayer” and “The Gift,” signed by David Foster and Tina Parol, respectively, will be available for auction.
