From beat reporters to long-form journalists to trending news writers, people tend to cover the news as it happens, whatever it is.

But every once in a while, a piece of news comes along that really speaks to them personally.

CBS reporter Olivia Rinaldi's day was made when Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce—right before Rinaldi launched into a live report.

Just before going live, Rinaldi looked down at her phone, and her mouth fell open, her excitement increasing when she discovered Taylor Swift's announcement on Instagram, complete with pictures of Swift and Kelce's engagement in a beautiful garden and Swing's engagement ring.

Swift captioned the announcement:

"Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married."

She then included a dynamite emoji, which might be referred to as "TNT" or "Taylor and Travis."

You can see the announcement here:

Behind the scenes, Rinaldi confided that she "felt like Paul Revere," referring to the American silversmith who rode through the streets, warning others that the British were on their way.

Rinaldi was eager for the camera to come back to her, and she turned on the reporter charm.

"This is a very exciting moment for me in my professional career, because I get to announce that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged."
"You can see it right there on her Instagram. She put it up in that post with the caption, 'Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married' with a little dynaminte sign there, so, very exciting that we get to break that and tell everyone about that!"

She then volunteered to perform news coverage for the wedding if there was a way of crashing or getting an invitation.

The Trump Administration Just Canceled Major Funding For Alzheimer's Research Due To 'DEI'—And People Are Beyond Furious

Back in March 2025, it was revealed that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had slashed funding for Alzheimer’s research as part of their purge of all things diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) related.

It was also later revealed that most of the cuts were done by Elon Musk's untrained, unqualified Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel—who couldn't define or describe diversity, equity, or inclusion even after making $16.5 billion of initially listed cuts across 1,127 cancelled or adjusted federal contracts because of "DEI"—using AI filters.

Video Of McDonald's Worker Dropping Food On Floor Before Putting It Back On Tray Sparks Food Safety Debate

We've all heard of the "five-second rule," where when you drop a piece of food on a safe surface, you can still eat it if you've picked it back up within five seconds. Most people won't bat an eye at this when they're at home or with friends, again, if the food is dropped in a safe and clean location, like on a kitchen counter while making a plate.

But a floor really should never be included among the safe and clean surface options, especially when that floor is in a public space, and the five-second rule shouldn't even exist in food service spaces.
