    The Romantic Emmys Scandal You Probably Missed & The Hidden Message In Taylor Swift’s Cameo

    Taylor Swift didn't turn up to the Emmys, but she still managed to hijack the whole night. Her pre-filmed sketch with host Mariska Hargitay was stuffed with Easter eggs, cryptic phrases and one repeated clue about something "hiding in plain sight," and Swifties have been decoding it overnight. We're unpacking what it all means for a certain long-awaited re-release.Then there's the one real scandal of the ceremony. Matthew Rhys made history with two acting wins in a single night, but it's what he didn't do that set the internet alight. No kiss, no thank you, no acknowledgement of wife Keri Russell either time, and suddenly everyone was convinced their beloved love story was over.Plus the Widow's Bay sweep that rewrote the record books, Jean Smart's history-making run, and the deeply uncomfortable pattern across this year's winners that we can't stop thinking about.TAKE THE SPILL'S WEEKLY POP CULTURE QUIZ HERE Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.

    All Our Favourite Romantic Comedies Are Based On Lies

    How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is officially getting the TV sequel treatment, and we're spiralling over what that means for the most iconic yellow dress moment, reimagined. But it got us thinking about the one thing every great rom com has in common: an enormous, plot-driving lie. From fake fiancés to stolen identities to a man who helps reset his girlfriend's memory every single day, we're deep diving the beautiful deceptions that make these movies work, and would absolutely land you in a true crime doco in real life. We're unpacking all our favourite love story deceptions, before landing on the takeaway we did not see coming: maybe we should all just be lying more.
