Barbie, Ken, Taylor, and Travis Take Over Halloween - TIME

Weeks before Halloween, Hannah Montoya was busy crafting her first ever couples costume, collecting a blonde wig, friendship bracelets, and an NFL jersey emblazoned with the name and number of Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce. Inspired by the apparently blooming romance between Super Bowl champ Kelce and superstar Taylor Swift, Montoya’s all-time favorite singer, the 22-year-old content creator from North Carolina decided it was the right time to debut a costume with her partner.

“They’re the perfect couple to idolize from both a girlfriend and boyfriend standpoint,” she tells TIME. “My boyfriend’s super into football and I’m super into Taylor Swift, so this was just the perfect combination for us.”

Only one other high-profile pair is rivaling Taylor and Travis in costumes this spooky season: Barbie and Ken. Versions of each famous duo are expected to be seen all over the place this Halloween. According to insights from Semrush, ever since Swift and Kelce were rumored to be dating in July 2023, searches for “Taylor Swift Halloween Costume” grew by 1021.2% and searches for “Travis Kelce costume” grew by 9,400%. And per Google’s “Frightgeist” analysis of annual searches for Halloween costumes, Barbie was the overall top search for costumes nationally, while Barbie and Ken dominated searches for couples. Mattel tells TIME that Barbie is the number one costume searched for at Goodwill. On TikTok, searches for “Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Halloween costume” have garnered nearly 427 million views, while “Barbie and Ken Halloween costume ideas” has racked up over 241 million views, with hundreds of videos of users showing off their costumes or making tutorials on how to recreate the looks.

Ex-Cop Involved in Breonna Taylor’s Killing Is Back on Trial - The Cut

In 2020, former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison fired ten rounds into Breonna Taylor’s apartment as he and two of his colleagues were serving the no-knock warrant that left Taylor dead. Hankison sprayed Taylor’s windows with bullets, three of which entered the apartment of a sleeping family next door. He was the only person indicted (on three counts of wanton endangerment) in connection with the fatal raid — not for putting Taylor’s life at risk but for endangering her neighbors. In 2022, after a mere three hours of deliberation, Kentucky jurors acquitted Hankison, a verdict that spurred fresh outrage across a city that had spent months protesting Taylor’s murder. Now, more than three years after the raid, the ex-officer is on trial again.

This time, it’s in federal court, where he faces new charges of violating Taylor’s civil rights by continuing to fire his gun after “there was no longer a lawful objective justifying the use of deadly force.” The DOJ has also charged three of Hankison’s colleagues with civil-rights violations: ex-detective Joshua Jayne, ex-sergeant Kyle Meany, and former officer Kelly Goodlett, who last year pleaded guilty to helping falsify the warrant that brought the cops to Taylor’s apartment in the first place. When they burst through her door on the night of March 13, 2020, it was ostensibly to investigate her purported ties to a drug dealer who was already in custody. Instead, they surprised Taylor, a 26-year-old medical worker, who was asleep in bed with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker.

The officers would later claim they identified themselves as they banged on her door, a narrative Walker and neighbors have contested. When the police barged in, Walker fired a shot from his handgun, believing them to be intruders. It struck one of the officers in the thigh, and they responded with 32 shots of their own, killing Taylor. Per the New York Times, Hankison then ran to the side of the building and fired ten shots into Taylor’s apartment through a sliding glass door and a window, three of which pierced a neighboring unit where a pregnant woman, Chelsey Napper, was asleep with her boyfriend and 5-year-old son. The police chief at the time fired Hankison, saying in a statement that he had fired “blindly” and calling his actions a “shock to the conscience.” The other two officers who opened fire did not face any legal charges or repercussions on the force. At Hankison’s state trial, Napper recalled the terror of bullets “flying everywhere,” telling jurors how she and her son hid together on the floor of the unit.
