    Poor Taylor Swift fans had 3 concerts cancelled on them, but thankfully, it looks like a terror plot was derailed, Travis Scott was arrested in Paris, we covered a lot of the Paris Olympics. Including a firing and a possible medal return, we said goodbye to Pokemon’s Misty and Jessie actress, checked out the upcoming Disney releases, and watched Deadpool keep its momentum at the box office.
