One week after their wedding at Madison Square Garden, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made their first public appearance.

On Friday, Swift and Kelce were seen at the wedding of Kelce's former teammate, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Laura Kruk in photos obtained by TMZ.

The pop superstar wore a strapless floor-length gown with floral brocade designs, along with her trademark red lip. Kelce wore a classic suit and tie.

In a since-deleted post viewed by Fox News Digital, AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron wrote extensively about the wedding, saying, "It did not look like Madison Square Garden."

TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS KELCE'S WEDDING: LEAKED DETAILS REVEAL INSIDE LOOK AS PHOTOS CAPTURE A-LIST DEPARTURES

"Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white," he wrote. "Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display."

He explained that "a small portion of MSG was cordoned off, devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space," and "somehow magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed fifteen rows of maybe 75 or so chairs.

"They say there were around one thousand attendees, but surprisingly, it all felt intimate and small. Everything was close."

Aron recounted that "relaxing and mellow romantic songs" were played before the ceremony began, when "a few violins and cello ushered in the wedding party."

According to the CEO, Kelce wore a white tux, while Swift wore "a stunning white wedding dress with a long veiled train."

He didn't name the couple's officiant, Adam Sandler, but he did say that he "talked and sang" and that he was "warm and welcoming, funny and eloquent."

"Then the vows," he continued. "Long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all eternity, the promises they made in joining their much-beloved two whole families (Kelce’s and Swift’s) as one, and committing to their new mutual life together."

He also said Swift and Kelce's "profound love" for each other was clear throughout the ceremony. He called their first kiss a "sweep you off your feet kiss."

The reception afterward, Aron claimed, also had the garden theme with "superb food and drink" and "music, music, music."

"I wish you all could have been there with me, to witness real, pure, true joy," he told his followers.

According to her rep, both Swift and Kelce wore looks created by Christian Dior Haute Couture "in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom." The shoes they wore were custom-made by Christian Louboutin, and Swift wore jewelry from Cartier.

It was also shared that they didn't have a traditional wedding party made of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Instead, Swift's brother, Austin, was her "Man of Honor," while Kelce's own brother, Jason, acted as his best man.

Jason and his wife Kylie's four daughters reportedly acted as the couple's flower girls, and  at the American Century Championship golf tournament in Lake Tahoe on Thursday, Kylie said the wedding was "incredible."

EXCLUSIVE: The Interior and Commerce Departments are scrapping a sweeping Endangered Species Act (ESA) rule that officials say past administrations "weaponized" to block energy production, logging, infrastructure projects and private citizens' land use.

Officials pointed to several ESA-listed species they say triggered undue or burdensome restrictions by treating habitat modification as potential "harm" to protected species, purportedly expanding the ESA's "harm" provision.

"For years, federal agencies abused the ESA to obstruct lawful land use and burden American families and businesses," Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News Digital.

"That approach turned routine activity into a regulatory trap, drove up costs that impacted people’s lives, and expanded federal authority beyond what Congress intended."

BIDEN-ERA ENVIRO RULE ACCUSED OF STRANGLING TRUCKERS, SQUEEZING AMERICANS LANDS ON TRUMP CHOPPING BLOCK

On Friday, the Interior and Commerce Departments announced they are rescinding the 'outdated' regulatory definition of 'harm' and returning the Endangered Species Act's interpretation to its original intent to end years of federal overreach.

The administration is relying in part on the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo, which overturned "Chevron deference" and held that courts must use independent judgment when interpreting federal statutes rather than deferring to an agency’s preferred reading of ambiguous law.

The rule change therefore aims to align regulations with the "single best" meaning of a statute rather than letting it be "contort[ed] to fit a political agenda," officials said.

LEGAL WAR ON TRUMP’S AGENDA GAINS FIREPOWER AS FEDERAL LAWYERS DEFECT TO DEMOCRATS

Officials pointed to the dunes sagebrush lizard, which the Biden administration listed as endangered in 2024, as an example of what they view as speculative habitat-based restrictions.

Officials argued the change led to unnecessary restrictions on energy projects in Texas’ lucrative Permian Basin, most recently depicted in the acclaimed Billy Bob Thornton series "Landman."

Under Section 9 of the ESA, it is unlawful to "take" endangered wildlife, a term Congress defined to include actions such as harming, harassing, wounding or killing protected species.

TRUMP’S ENERGY INITIATIVES MAY FINALLY EXTRACT AMERICA FROM MIDEAST CHAOS

Federal materials tied the species’ decline to surface-disturbing activities, including energy development and sand mining, which officials and industry representatives say can trigger costly permitting and compliance burdens.

Officials also cited the lesser prairie-chicken, a grassland bird whose federal protections have drawn opposition from farmers, ranchers and energy developers across New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.

The fight over habitat-based "harm" dates back decades, including the northern spotted owl, whose 1990 ESA listing fueled a long-running battle over timber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest and was blamed for job losses.

A 2021 study in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management estimated the owl’s ESA listing reduced timber employment by roughly 16,000 to 32,000 jobs in the Pacific Northwest and northern California.

Timber interests and landowners challenged the federal definition, arguing that "harm" should cover direct injury to wildlife, not habitat modification that indirectly affects a species.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Clinton Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt in 1995, upholding a definition of "harm" that included significant habitat modification when it actually kills or injures protected wildlife.

Officials say the change is designed to narrow the regulation after Loper Bright and prevent agencies from using habitat-based theories to block lawful activity far beyond what Congress authorized.

The agencies argued the previously broadened definition of "harm" became an unlawful intrusion on private property rights.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick added that fishermen in particular have been burdened by the regulation for "too long."

Returning the ESA to its original purpose protects both the environment and economic development, Lutnick said.

"This administration is committed to protecting wildlife using Gold Standard Science, the law and the tools Congress actually gave us," added U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Brian Nesvik. "We can protect species and respect communities at the same time."

Administration officials stressed that core ESA protections remain in place, including prohibitions on directly injuring or killing protected wildlife.

The administration said the change is intended to reduce permitting and compliance costs while providing greater legal clarity for landowners, energy producers and developers, advancing President Donald Trump's vision of domestic energy dominance and a regulatory state that works for, not against, the average American.

A California small business owner is tired of out-of-control kids in his restaurant, and now he’s making parents pay the price.

You You Xue operates two restaurants south of San Francisco. He told The Post he introduced damage charges on certain bills after repeated problems with unruly children disrupting other diners.

"My staff, my servers were being forced to parent children on behalf of other parents. That’s not their job," Xue told The Post, adding, "Parenting has become so relaxed, and I know if I acted some ways these children are acting, I would have gotten my a-- beat."

The restaurant's online menu includes an advisory at the top of the page beneath the headline, "Please control your children."

RESTAURANT OWNERS REVEAL THE BIGGEST MISTAKE DINERS MAKE BEFORE ORDERING

Some of the forbidden actions are running around, shouting, and making noise with utensils, which the menu goes on to say in all caps, "will not be tolerated."

"Guests not respecting this policy may be asked to leave. We will hold parents financially liable for all damage caused by their children to restaurant property," it adds.

CHILI'S GOES VIRAL AFTER ROASTING FAST-FOOD PRICES: 'WHY LET THEM PLAY YOU LIKE THIS?'

The page also lists specific instances when Xue decided to charge parents for bad behavior. In one case, a child picked up and dropped a credit card machine, shattering the screen. The family was charged $327.03. Another instance saw a child carve designs into a tabletop using utensils. Those parents were charged $109.38 in damages.

The final instance listed on the website read, "A customer's child was playing on the booth seats and bumped a teacup onto the ground, causing it to shatter. We charged the parent $5.47 in damages."

Xue has said the reaction to the rules, which were implemented last year but went viral last month, has been generally positive — though some online felt charging for the teacup went too far.

He clarified to The Post that parents aren’t charged if accidents happen, but he felt the new policy was necessary after witnessing a deterioration in parenting and the behavior of young kids.

"We don’t blame the kids — I’m very proud of the fact that this is an unpretentious restaurant where people can come with their whole families," he said, adding, "It’s to remind this very small group of parents who are not doing their jobs: please do your job so we can do ours."

The viral policy also sparked discussion on "Fox & Friends," where co-host Lawrence Jones argued that a lack of parenting is fueling disruptive behavior. "This is pretty simple. This is not controversial, right?" Jones said Thursday.

He pointed to his own childhood, saying his parents only had to give him and his siblings a look to get them to behave. "My parents, they handled discipline very well. And it got to the point where all they had to do is give me and my siblings a look, and we knew to get into shape," he said.

"That has been discouraged in modern-day society. And so, you got kids acting crazy on planes, acting crazy in stores, kicking at seats. You have them throwing stuff across the room," Jones added.

"The Sopranos" creator David Chase warned in a new interview that political censorship in Hollywood could be on the horizon under President Donald Trump.

"Since Trump, I’ve been concerned it’s only a little big or a hop, skip and a jump up to censorship," Chase told Variety while discussing upcoming projects this week at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic.

Chase, who created the Emmy-winning HBO mob drama that ran from 1999 to 2007, made the remark while discussing "Project: MKUltra," an HBO series he is developing about the CIA's Cold War-era mind control program, and a separate independent film he said would also deal with the drug LSD.

The writer said he was not especially concerned about conspiracy theorists or right-wing commentators online driving backlash to the project but about a future in which artists face political restrictions on what they can say.

Chase said he was concerned about creatives "being told you can’t say that, and you can’t do that."

Chase agreed when Variety asked if his concerns amounted to fears of a modern-day Hays Code, the Hollywood censorship system that once dictated what could appear in films.

"Exactly," Chase said.

Chase compared his political concerns to his earlier years working in network television, when he said strict rules controlled even minor details of what could be shown on screen.

"I used to work on network television, and you couldn’t have a person burp on camera. You couldn’t show the toilet bowl, the gun going off, the person getting shot," Chase said. "It was rules, rules, rules. And those are minor things. When you get to the political stuff, that concerns me."

Chase made the comments as he returned to the international spotlight at Karlovy Vary, where festival organizers said he was appearing for an industry talk about the legacy of "The Sopranos," streaming, financing, authorship and the importance of creative risks.

He also told Variety he is independently working on a feature film "that deals with LSD," saying the story involves "a young woman" who's a college DJ.

The film would mark Chase's first directorial feature since "Not Fade Away," his 2012 coming-of-age drama. He also co-wrote and produced the 2021 "Sopranos" prequel film, "The Many Saints of Newark."

Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office, "Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship," saying it was federal policy to protect constitutionally protected speech and prevent government officials from abridging Americans’ First Amendment rights.

A high school in Northern California is pushing back on Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest law that forced it to remove its "Indians" mascot on Wednesday.

In 2024, Newsom signed into law an extension of the California Racial Mascot Act, which prohibits public schools from using "any derogatory Native American term, as defined, as a school or athletic team name, mascot, or nickname" except for schools operated by an Indian tribe or tribal organization or with consent from a federally recognized tribe.

The law officially went into effect on Wednesday, leading Marysville High School to retire its "Indians" mascot after nearly 100 years.

NEWSOM-BACKED COMMISSION TRANSFERS POPULAR COASTLINE TO INDIGENOUS TRIBES

"The Marysville Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees recognizes the deep history and tradition associated with the Indians mascot and acknowledges the strong connection many alumni, students, staff, and community members have to it," Marysville Joint Unified School District Superintendent Jordan Reeves said in a statement last week.

Reeves added that the school has met with local tribal representatives to obtain written consent but was unable to secure consent before the law took effect. According to Reeves, tribal leaders have largely chosen to remain neutral on the subject for now.

Currently, the school has no plans to replace its mascot and will continue to try to obtain consent for their traditional image.

"Marysville Joint Unified School District will continue pursuing opportunities to obtain written permission from a local, federally recognized tribe that would allow Marysville High School to retain its historic mascot under the provisions of state law. Marysville High School remains committed to honoring its proud traditions while continuing to serve students and uphold the long-standing values and expectations of the Marysville community," Reeves said.

In an interview with The Appeal-Democrat on Wednesday, alumni and school employees disagreed with the idea of removing the mascot and argued that students mostly viewed the image with respect.

"I do remember the Indian Way and how it was built (with) respect and (to) hold your head high," track and field coach and alumnus Marcy Tarr said. "Indians were good leaders."

Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom's office and Reeves for additional comment but did not immediately receive a response.
