Taylor Swift Shares Precious Childhood Home Video Ahead of New Movie

Like most kids born in the 1980s, Taylor Swift grew up loving the Toy Story franchise. She was tapped by Disney to write a new song for the upcoming Toy Story 5 movie. On June 4, 2026, Taylor shared a sweet home video of herself dressed as a cowgirl, dancing around her house. Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond,” Taylor shared on X.

Mother Makes One Final Gift of Love Before Passing Away

Cherrish Faith Rodger suffered an asthma attack on May 17, 2026, that led to cardiac arrest. The mother of two young girls turned 21 on May 24, and two days later, staff delivered devastating news to her family. Cherrish had no brain activity and would not recover. Cherrish’s mother, Cassandra Hall, made a heartbreaking but generous decision. Before Cherrish passed, she donated several organs. Staff at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital in Virginia Beach, Virginia, gathered on May 31 for an honor walk. Cherrish Rodgers Helped Save Multiple Lives According to 13 News Now, doctors successfully prepared her heart, liver, pancreas, and both kidneys for donation. “We got the opportunity to grant someone else their dream come true,” Cassandra Hall told the news outlet. “I can’t put into words how that makes me feel. But I am beyond grateful to God that we were able to save five lives.” Staff and loved ones lined the hospital hall as Cherrish Rodgers was taken into surgery it was a bittersweet moment for those who love her. “She’s not dead — she still lives on,” Cassandra said. “She’ll live on through the lives she saved and through her children.” Loved ones also created a GoFundMe to support Cherrish Rodgers’ 5-year-old and 1-year-old daughters. “Cherrish was a loving mother to her two daughters, Choyce (5) and Cyaira (1), and a passionate content creator known for her vlogs and hair content. Above all, her children were her greatest love and purpose, and she worked hard to give them a better future,” a post on the fundraiser reads. “We are deeply grateful for any support. Every donation will help honor Cherrish’s memory and provide care and stability for her two daughters. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign would mean just as much,” the family added. Organ donation is a selfless act, and Cherrish’s mother is right, her spirit will certainly live on. This story’s featured image can be found here
