The Latest

Hollywood writers and studios reached a tentative deal, potentially ending their monthslong strike.

The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached a tentative deal Sunday, potentially bringing an end to one of the longest walkouts in entertainment history. "This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who joined us on the picket lines for over 146 days," the guild said in a statement. The nearly 150-day strike began in May when the guild failed to reach a new contract with the trade association that represents Hollywood's top media studios and streaming services, including TODAY's parent company NBCUniversal. Further details about the deal are set to be released Tuesday, the guild said. Read the latest about the agreement here.

Taylor Swift threw gas on the rumors she's dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce by attending the team's game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The "Karma" singer was spotted sitting next to Kelce's mother, Donna Kelce, in a private box and sporting a red jacket and her signature red lipstick as she cheered on the Chiefs. At one point, cameras caught her celebrating wildly after Kelce caught a touchdown pass in the third quarter. The Chiefs scored a win against the Bears, and Kelce and Swift left the stadium together. A source close to Swift confirmed to NBC News that she and the NFL star are hanging out, and that things are still in the early stages.

The start of fall means cold and flu season, so experts recommend protecting yourself with a flu shot. But when's the best time to get it? “The optimal time is right at the end of September and through the month of October (for most people),” Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University Medical Center told us. It's important to note the shot doesn't work right away — it usually takes about 7 to 10 days to kick in. Getting it before the end of October is best so that you're getting vaccinated ahead of flu season, not in the middle of it, experts say. Here's what to know, plus whether it's safe to get a flu shot and the new COVID vaccine at the same time.

Kelly Clarkson surprised an unknowing street performer in Las Vegas when she stepped up to sing along with the woman, who didn't quite recognize the "Since U Been Gone" singer at first. Clarkson posted a video of herself singing Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It" with the woman. Once she finished belting the tune, the pair hugged and then the woman appeared to step back in shock as she realized who her duet partner was. "She gives the best hugs and sings her tail off!" Clarkson wrote in the caption of her video. See the Grammy award winning artist rock the TODAY plaza last week here.
