Sydney Sweeney Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Sydney Sweeney has been at the absolute center of the entertainment spotlight over the past few days, with developments coming thick and fast in her personal and professional life. The biggest story making headlines is her romance with Scooter Braun, the powerful but polarizing music executive infamous for his feud with Taylor Swift. According to Harpers Bazaar, Sydney and Scooter were seen stepping out together this Sunday in New York City, confirming their relationship with a public hand-in-hand appearance. Sydney turned heads with her daring schoolgirl-inspired look from the Monse Spring/Summer 2026 collection, while Scooter channeled sporty laid-back chic in a New York Jets cap. Their coupling is now among this week's viral celebrity talking points, especially given the high stakes of Braun's reputation in the music industry.

But dating Braun has come at a price: International Business Times reports a fierce backlash against Sydney led by Swift's intensely loyal fanbase, the Swifties, who view Braun as a public enemy number one. The drama reached full boil on social media, with posts attacking Sydney after she was spotted with Braun, and she allegedly received a cold shoulder from peers at a recent Emmy ceremony where she skipped the after-party. This controversy follows close on the heels of another firestorm – the American Eagle 'great jeans' advertising campaign starring Sydney, which was rapidly branded as controversial for supposedly carrying eugenics undertones. While the jeans themselves flew off shelves, millions of posts flooded platforms like Threads and X debating the deeper meaning, but analysis by Open Measures and American Eagle itself confirmed the ad was, in fact, only ever about the jeans, not genetics or ideology.

The social media spotlight has not dimmed; Sydney broke her silence after the American Eagle backlash, succinctly reasserting her brand and resisting calls for cancellation. According to reporting from IBTimes and Open Measures, the majority of the furor online was driven not by true outrage over what the ad meant, but by users eager to weaponize the discourse into political warfare between conservatives and liberals. President Trump even weighed in, praising Sydney after the campaign aired, reflecting how her modeling work has become entangled in American culture wars.

Despite this gauntlet of controversy—a swirl of Twitter mobs, celebrity cold shoulders, and tabloid fodder—Sydney Sweeney is surging forward with a jam-packed film schedule, including season 3 of Euphoria, the sports drama Christy, and Echo Valley with Julianne Moore and Kyle MacLachlan. The general public seems more loyal than ever, eagerly awaiting her next projects and refusing to buy into Hollywood's harshest judgments.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero.
