TikTok Deal Delayed, Fyre Fest 2 Drama, & Taylor Swift’s Friendship Fix - Nina's What's Trending on The Jubal Show

• Taylor Swift & Blake Lively Patch Things Up

TikTok Gets a Reprieve… Thanks to Tariffs?

TikTok’s parent company ByteDance just got a 75-day extension to sell off its U.S. operations, delaying a potential ban of the app once again.

A deal to sell TikTok was reportedly close, but after Trump announced new tariffs on China, the Chinese side backed off. The sudden tariff talk threw a wrench into the negotiations and left investors scrambling.

The extended deadline gives more time to work out national security concerns—but at this point, it's feeling like the TikTok version of “will they, won’t they?”

Fyre Festival 2? More Like Fyre Fail Again

It’s déjà vu for Fyre Festival 2. First, the 2025 event lost its Isla Mujeres location after the city denied knowing anything about it. Then they moved it to Playa del Carmen, but now that’s off too.

Event organizers claim the Mexican government backtracked, saying they’ve “never heard of” the festival—even though producers have shared texts, paperwork, and receipts showing otherwise.

Despite the chaos and a fast-approaching May 30th date, organizers insist the show will go on. Though… they still haven’t announced any performers. Yikes.

Taylor Swift & Blake Lively Are Friends Again

No bad blood here—Taylor Swift and Blake Lively have reportedly kissed and made up.

The two were said to be on the outs after Swift was dragged into Blake’s legal mess involving her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni. But now a source says:

“Blake apologized and they are talking again.”

No drama is strong enough to break this Hollywood BFF duo—especially not when friendship bracelets are involved.
