Not only did Fernando Mendoza get VIP treatment at a Miami hotspot after winning the national championship … the star quarterback got an ABBA tribute concert experience … courtesy of his teammates breaking out in song in the middle of the club!!

The Hoosiers celebrated their first-ever title at E11EVEN in Downtown Miami after their 27-21 win over the Hurricanes.

As the bottles popped and the party rolled on, the song “Fernando” by the Swedish group came over the speakers — and that’s when the champs went nuts!

The fans even sang along at the Hard Rock Stadium after Mendoza and the Hoosiers won the CFP championship on Monday.

“It’s a great song by ABBA,” Mendoza said about the track earlier this month.

“I’ve heard it a little throughout my high school career, and then early in my college career — it was kind of like a joke with all my friends, and now it’s just accelerated to a whole other level. So, I mean, I bet if ABBA’s checking their phone, [they’d be] like, Wow, this song’s getting a lot of plays all of a sudden.”

“It’s great; I think it’s a funny fan song — not fan song, but a funny song that everybody could rally around, especially IU fandom!”

Taylor Swift is spinning the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni beef to look like she got betrayed by her former BFF Blake … but it looks like Taylor was all-in on crapping on Baldoni.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Taylor texted Blake in early December 2024, referencing Baldoni and the upcoming New York Times hit piece … with Taylor texting, “I think this bitch knows something is coming because he’s gotten out his tiny violin.”

The text message was revealed Tuesday as part of Blake’s unsealed deposition.

According to the docs, Taylor was anything but an innocent bystander who was set up by Blake during her NYC penthouse showdown with Justin Baldoni. In fact, Taylor seemed to be involved in Blake’s strategy, texting Blake, “If Justin was strategic, he would be like no Taylor Swift in the trailer because that gives you more power over the film, that’s your ally not his.”

In Lively’s deposition, she said, “I sent Taylor the script on her way to my apartment because Justin was still there, and I asked her to read them. I told her she didn’t have to, I didn’t want her to feel pressure to do that, but I hope that she would.” Taylor responded in text, “I’ll do anything for you!!” Lively said at the apartment, Taylor endorsed the revised draft.

After the penthouse meeting, Blake wrote to Taylor, “You were so epically heroic today. I recapped every moment to Ryan. I kept remembering stuff — You making shit up about me and lenses. And referring to yourself as my doll.” And then, referring to Justin, Lively wrote, “This clown falling for all of it. But also resisting it. You are the worlds absolute greatest friend ever.”

This is in sharp contrast to the story from Taylor’s team, that she was set up and betrayed by Lively when she showed up at the penthouse. Taylor’s team made the point … T.S. didn’t know Justin was there and did not take sides.

And then there’s this … on May 17, 2024, Lively and Ryan Reynolds texted Matt and Lucy Damon, asking them to support Lively’s cut of the film. Reynold’s told them Baldoni was “a malignantly vein (sic), sociopathic FAUXminist with almost no sense of boundaries or shame. I cannot believe he hasn’t gone to jail…” 

A pedestrian was critically injured when he was absolutely plowed by a police cruiser while walking in a crosswalk in the Los Angeles area this weekend … and the moment was all caught on video.

Check out the footage — the man is in the crosswalk as the traffic light appears to have changed … with other cars already rolling by … he’s nearly to the sidewalk when he looks up and starts to trot — and then he’s blasted by a fast-moving Montebello Police Department patrol SUV.

The impact sends the victim flying through the air as he lands yards away … while the patrol car veers and smashes into the traffic light pole. The dazed officer inside takes a few moments to collect himself before jumping out and running over to the injured man … other cars stop and one driver gets out to render aid.
