The crew operating two Apache helicopters that were seen hovering outside the home of singer and rapper Kid Rock over the weekend has been suspended from flying, a spokesperson for the Army said Tuesday.

The aircrew has been grounded while the Army conducts a formal investigation into why the AH-64 helicopters flew near the singer’s Nashville house and a No Kings protest during a training mission.

Army spokesperson Maj. Montrell Russell said in a statement that the investigation will look into “the circumstances surrounding the mission, including compliance with relevant FAA regulations, aviation safety protocol, and approval requirements.”

“The Army takes any allegations of unauthorized or unsafe flight operations very seriously and is committed to enforcing standards and holding personnel accountable,” Russell said.  

It is not clear what the purpose of the training mission was. It was also not immediately clear how many people the suspension affected.

Kid Rock said in an interview with local ABC affiliate WKRN that he thinks the crew is “going to be alright.”

“My buddy’s commander-in-chief,” he added, referring to President Trump. He also said he doesn’t know what the Army is looking into, as the helicopters “stopped for, I don’t know, seconds? A minute?” 

The singer said, “It’s not the first time they’ve flown over my house,” noting the pilots fly from Fort Campbell and he often sees the helicopters.

After Kid Rock posted two videos of the helicopters on social media Saturday, Maj. Jonathon Bless, a spokesperson for the 101st Airborne Division, said in a statement Monday that the Army had opened an investigation into the incident, adding they “take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously.”

The videos Kid Rock shared on social media show helicopters hovering outside his home. One video shows him standing poolside next to a replica of the Statue of Liberty, clapping wildly, as the helicopter hovers. He salutes the pilots before they fly away. 

A second video shows Kid Rock pumping his fist as the helicopter flies away.

In his interview with WKRN, Kid Rock said he spoke to pilots at Fort Campbell last year during a Thanksgiving celebration. The singer, who appeared at the holiday event with Vice President JD Vance, said he told the pilots they are “always welcome” to cruise by his house. 

He told WKRN he thinks it’s a great thing if it made the pilots happy to fly by his house and “it’s harmless.”

Severe weather is forecasted for the central United States as April begins, with threats of tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail.

Experts have also raised concerns about flooding through the first week of the month.

As reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a stationary front stretching from the Northeast California will remain nearly in place through Thursday, April 2.

It is expected that multiple rounds of disruptive thunderstorms will hit the central states.

The most severe weather threat on Tuesday was focused from southern Michigan to northeast Illinois, and then into northern Indiana and Ohio.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center issued a slight risk, level 2 of 5, for parts of the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley through Wednesday morning.

Damaging winds and large hail are also possible.

For Plains and Mississippi, there’s a severe threat forecast on Wednesday, April 1, stretching from central Texas through Kansas into Missouri.

By Thursday, April 2, the threat will shift to the Midwest, with storms capable of producing strong wind gusts and hail from northern Arkansas to southern Michigan.

Meanwhile, freezing rain and snow will occur in the far north tier, with winter precipitation occurring in the Upper Mississippi Valley, the Great Lakes, and the Northeast through the mid-week period.

Total rainfall amounts from Texas to the Great Lakes and central Appalachians are predicted to range from 1 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts up to 6 inches possible. 

Taylor Swift is facing a new lawsuit over her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” which accuses the singer of trademark infringement. 

Filed Monday in federal court by Las Vegas performer Maren Wade, the complaint claims Swift titled her hit record despite being aware of its resemblance to the title of a column that Wade penned for Las Vegas Weekly called “Confessions of a Showgirl,” centered around anecdotes about her experiences in the entertainment industry. The column was first published in 2014, the document said, and Wade later adapted it into a live show and book by the same name.

Wade obtained a registered trademark for “Confessions of a Showgirl” from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2015. The trademark eventually received “incontestable” status, signaling the owner’s right to exclusively use it after having done so consistently for a period of years, according to the lawsuit and the trademark office.

When Swift later applied to register a trademark of her own for “The Life of a Showgirl,” the office denied her application, allegedly on the grounds that its title was “confusingly similar” to Wade’s already established one, Wade’s attorney, Jaymie Parkkinen, told CBS News in a statement.

“They continued using it anyway, expanding it across a coordinated commercial program and distributing it through retail channels reaching millions of consumers” the lawsuit said, referring to Swift’s team. It added that Wade “was never contacted” about the name.

The lawsuit claims that Swift’s album title undermined Wade’s personal brand, after the performer had spent more than a decade building it.

“She registered it. She earned it,” said Parkkinen. “We have great respect for Swift’s talent and success, but trademark law exists to ensure that creators at all levels can protect what they’ve built. That’s what this case is about.”

Wade’s complaint said similarities between “Confessions of a Showgirl” and “The Life of a Showgirl” are “immediate,” as both titles “share the same structure, the same dominant phrase, and the same overall commercial impression.” It also said the brands “are used in overlapping markets and are directed at the same consumers.”

In addition to trademark infringement, the suit also accused Swift and UMG Recordings of unfair competition and, specifically, false designation, a law that prohibits goods or services circulated in commerce from misrepresenting their origins to consumers. UMG Recordings is a branch of Universal Music Group, to which Swift is signed. The lawsuit also named Bravado International Group Merchandising Services, Inc., another branch of UMG.

Wade is seeking unspecified damages for “the irreparable harm to her business, reputation, and goodwill” as a result of the alleged trademark violation, as well as a court order that would prevent Swift from continuing to use the title of her hit album.

Swift’s commercial success “does not depend on the continued use of any single designation,” the lawsuit argued, while “Confessions of a Showgirl” is Wade’s only trademark and the basis of her “professional identity and career.”

“It is not one mark among hundreds,” the complaint said. “It is the only one she has.”
