Anything can happen at a Paul McCartney house party, even a DJ set from Taylor Swift. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night (June 17), the late-night host and Austin Butler raved about a recent gathering at the Beatles’ abode that featured a star-studded guest list as well as tunes approved by the “Anti-Hero” singer.
“Last time I saw you was at maybe the craziest party I’ve ever been to in my whole life,” Kimmel began, with Butler adding, “That was insane.”
“Taylor Swift showed up,” the comedian continued.

“Yeah, she was DJing at one point,” added the Bikeriders star. “She’s [working] at parties now.”
The interview comes just a few days after Butler revealed in a BBC Radio 1 interview that his favorite of Swift’s eras is Reputation — or, as he put it, “the one with the snakes.” The actor and his girlfriend, model Kaia Gerber, attended the Eras Tour in Los Angeles in August.
Though he didn’t disclose which songs Swift picked out for the party, Butler did reveal some of the other big names in attendance at McCartney’s party: Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and Meryl Streep. Feeling too starstruck to introduce himself to the Devil Wears Prada actress, the Dune cast member hid out in the kitchen and ate pizza — that is, until someone pulled him away to introduce him to Streep.
“I couldn’t believe I was meeting Meryl Streep with Paul McCartney’s vegan pizza in my mouth,” Butler gushed.
He also recalled Springsteen telling him a story about writing a song for Elvis Presley — who Butler famously played in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis — and sneaking onto the King’s property to try and convince him to record it. “I had heard this sort of mythical story, and then to hear it from him, of him being a huge Elvis fan and then hopping the gates at Graceland,” Butler told Kimmel. “He wanted to give Elvis a song. He somehow evaded the dogs — he’s a fast runner. I’m so bummed I didn’t get to hear that song.”

Jelly Roll‘s single “Halfway to Hell” is a total knockout on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, so who better to celebrate with than Rocky? The singer-songwriter recently hung out with Sylvester Stallone on the set of Tulsa King, where they commemorated the singer’s fourth No. 1 hit on the ranking in a video posted by the legendary actor Thursday (June 13).
In the clip, Jelly and Stallone chat with crew members milling about behind them. The musician proudly tells the Rambo star about his latest feat — “Woke up on a bus in your parking lot with my fourth No. 1” — while the Golden Globe winner nudges him encouragingly.
“Fourth No. 1, unbelievable!” Stallone says, smiling.

“Looks like the fantastic singer @jellyroll615 just rolled onto the Tulsa King set! #KeepPunching 🥊,” the actor captioned the video.
Resharing the post on Instagram Stories, Jelly marveled, “I can’t believe this happened.”
As noted by the Nashville native, “Halfway to Heaven” marks his fourth Country Airplay No. 1, with the track topping the chart dated June 15, 2024. It follows previous chart-toppers “Son of a Sinner,” “Need a Favor” and Lainey Wilson collab “Save Me.”
Stallone isn’t the only legend Jelly has rubbed elbows with in recent weeks. He also recently met Eminem ahead of their duet on NBC’s Live From Detroit concert special, for which the country star performed the “Dream On” sample used in the rapper’s “Sing for the Moment.”
“I was so nervous,” Jelly said about the performance in an interview with Howard Stern earlier this week. “It definitely wasn’t my best performance — you could see the nerves on my face. This song did a lot for me in dark moments of my life, too. I’m a lifelong fan. There’s not a white kid in the world who didn’t listen to Eminem rapping.”
“There’s not enough praises for him,” the ACM Award-winner added. “He’s inarguably the greatest rapper that ever lived, ever. You’re literally meeting the greatest at his craft.”
