LOS ANGELES - "Project 2025" began trending on Google moments after actress Taraji P. Henson urged guests at the 2024 BET Awards to look it up, educate themselves on it and vote.

"I'm telling y'all, you better show up and show out. I'm being serious now," Henson said as she looked directly into the camera in the middle of the show on June 30. "It's not just about the presidential election, you guys. It's time for us to play chess, not checkers."

Project 2025, known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a conglomerate of conservative policy proposals, potential picks to fill positions for the next administration, and more in the event that a republican, which would be Donald J. Trump, is elected president in November. It was put together in 2022 by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative nonprofit, in order to "pave the way for an effective conservative Administration."

The project is based on four pillars: a Policy Agenda, Personnel Database, Training and a 180-Day Playbook.

"The Project 2025 plan is not a game. Look it up," Henson said during her impassioned speech.

She also criticized the recent set of U.S. House bills, including the defense bill that would automatically register men between a certain age for the draft and the suggested update that would include women. She asked the crowd if they knew "it was now a crime to be homeless," referring to the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling allowing cities to punish people for sleeping outside.
"I'm not trying to scare us, I'm trying to inform us," Henson continued. "I'm talking to the mad people who don't want to vote. You're gonna be mad about a lot of things if you don't vote."

Travis Kelce reportedly spent over $17K on Paris-themed gifts for 14-time Grammy Award-winning girlfriend Taylor Swift, including a $11.7K Chanel purse, to kick off the European leg of her Eras Tour with four stadium shows in the French capital.

Swift will be touring all over Europe over the next few months with sold-out shows around the continent, which coincides with her first shows since the release of her latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.

Kelce’s other gifts for Swift included over $700 on macarons, over $2,000 on white orchids from famed French florist Rene Veyrat, red roses valued at $1,100, and Chanel sunglasses that cost $1,840, per The Sun.

The large 2.55 Chanel handbag comes in two colors, navy blue and black, although it is unclear which color Kelce bought for Swift.

The purse is made of aged calfskin and gold-tone metal, per Chanel.

The purse’s dimensions are 7.6 by 10.9 by 2.9 inches and cannot be directly bought through Chanel’s website. A purchaser needs to call the company’s phone number to speak with a representative to acquire the same handbag as Swift.

The European leg of Swift’s Eras Tour represents all but nine of her remaining stadium dates, with a three-city Canadian leg ending the run of shows in late 2024.

After Swift is done in Paris comes shows in Stockholm as well as eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London.

The macarons Kelce picked for Swift come from Maison Pierre Hermé, a high-end pastry boutique located nine kilometers from Swift’s Parisian shows.

Kelce and Swift have been publicly dating since last September, when she attended a Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears.

Swift attended 13 of Kansas City’s games last season, including each of the Chiefs four playoff victories in different cities.

It was for this year’s Super Bowl that Swift quickly departed her Eras Tour shows in Tokyo to make her way to Las Vegas to watch Kelce play in the NFL’s championship game.

Kelce has repaid the favor to Swift, being in attendance for her concerts in Singapore, Argentina, and Australia.
