Hot new couple: Taylor Swift’s new beau Travis Kelce once revealed his extremely raunchy dating dealbreakers in a resurfaced video from a 2016 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen (the pair are seen together in Kansas on Sunday)

Oh my: The Kansas City Chiefs star , now 34, was left blushing when Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer asked him: ‘Is it a dealbreaker if a girl doesn’t like to give oral 𝑠e𝑥?’ with Kelce responding: ‘Ahh! Sounds like a dealbreaker to me’

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spotted leaving the Chiefs game

Elsewhere during the chat, Kelce said he was put off by a woman having breast implants,saying:’I don’t think so, as long as she’s comfortable and very confident in what she looks like.’

He added that he wasn’t in favor of women who are ‘obsessed with taking selfies.’

The racy chat has begun recirculating online after it emerged Kelce was dating Swift, 33.

The pair packed on the PDA during an ‘affectionate’ evening at Prime Social Rooftop in Kansas City on Sunday – after paying for the entire restaurant’s bills so they could party in private.

The singer and the Kansas City Chiefs star have reportedly been dating since July – with Taylor attending his team’s game against the Chicago Bears over the weekend – before enjoying a dinner date and evening out until 2am.

An eyewitness told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Travis bought out the restaurant for his family and team. Taylor arrived, wearing a denim dress, and was seen snacking, having some cocktails and dancing alongside Travis.

‘The two were very affectionate with one another but kept things fun and lighthearted. Travis’ teammates also showed up to the after-party, as well as his mom, Donna Kelce. The party lasted until 2 am.’

A source added the pair were ‘not rushing into anything serious’ but were ‘enjoying life’ together, saying: ‘Both are very career-focused, so the focus is on that for now, but that’s not going to stop them from enjoying life when it’s the right moment.’

Fan claims to spot Taylor Swift sneaking away in a popcorn machine

 

Another diner told the publication they were informed there would be a ‘hard close’ at 8pm of the eaterie, with staff giving diners to-go boxes and informing them they had to leave the premises.

They said they were offered free drinks at the venue’s sister restaurant by way of compensation.

The professional NFL star first expressed interest in the Grammy winner back in July after he stopped by her Eras Tour concert – but his plans to give the singer his number didn’t exactly pan out.

Kelce revealed on his podcast New Heights with his brother Jason Kelce, that he went to Swift’s show at Arrowhead Stadium and tried to slip her his phone number, to no avail.

‘I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,’ Travis said. ‘So, I was a little bit hurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,’ he added.

On Thursday, Kelce addressed romance rumors that had begun circulating between him and Swift during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show and revealed that he ‘threw the ball in her court’.

‘We’ll see what happens in the near future,’ the sports player added, and it appeared that the Bad Blood hitmaker took the next step by cheering him on in a VIP section with his mom at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Breaking News: Taylor Swift Unveils Shocking Announcement Involving Travis Kelce!

 

Taylor Swift has taken her fans by surprise with the revelation that she’s about to drop some “major news” alongside Travis Kelce. The renowned singer made the announcement on social media, sparking eager speculation among her followers about the nature of the announcement.

Travis Kelce, known for his prowess as a professional football player for the Kansas City Chiefs, is revered for his on-field achievements and is hailed as one of the NFL’s top tight ends. His unexpected partnership with Taylor Swift has piqued the curiosity and excitement of fans.

Although the specifics of this collaboration remain shrouded in mystery, anticipation runs high. Speculation abounds, ranging from conjecture about a potential joint song release to the prospect of a collaborative project.

 

Taylor Swift has a track record of surprising collaborations and partnerships, having previously joined forces with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Brendon Urie, and Bon Iver, resulting in chart-topping hits and critical acclaim.

With both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce boasting massive fan bases, their collaboration is anticipated to be a resounding success. Fans eagerly await further updates from the singer regarding this thrilling development.

In the realm of music, unexpected collaborations often yield innovative sounds and unique experiences for listeners. Taylor Swift’s announcement has ignited excitement and anticipation among her fans, who anxiously await the unveiling of what she and Travis Kelce have in store for them.

Travis Kelce is expanding his real estate portfolio. The NFL-star-also-known-as-Taylor-Swift’s-new-love-interest recently purchased a $6 million home in Kansas City, Missouri. I

t’s apparently a major upgrade from his current residence, which is basically a Mojo Dojo Casa House.

Kelce bought the swanky new property for better privacy while dating Taylor Swift, according to TMZ.

 

As public fascination with the new couple continues to grow, it’s no surprise that the athlete is serious about protecting their relationship by investing in a paparazzi-free hideaway.

(Given Kelce’s Kansas City-based career, the lovebirds can’t exactly shack up in one of Taylor’s many properties—plus, she’s already lent her Watch Hill, Rhode Island home to another publicity-shy new couple, Bradly Cooper and Gigi Hadid.)

Sources told TMZ that Kelce’s existing house was “simply far too accessible” and “starting to become a tourist attraction.” It’s easy for paparazzi to park right outside of the place, and the situation was reportedly making Kelce uncomfortable. Understandable!

According to the New York Post, Kelce was also “a little self-conscious with his pretty modest pad and wanted something a bit more grandeur to impress his new love interest.” (As Taylor herself might say, we know that it’s delicate.)

His new home reportedly boasts six bedrooms and six bathrooms, spanning thousands of square footage. While it’s unclear what neighborhood the home is located in (and that’s probably for the best!), the property exists in a gated community with a host of amenities including a pool with a waterfall, a tennis court, a pickleball court, and a mini golf course, per TMZ.

There are no reports yet on Kelce’s plans for his other Kansas City home. Located in the Briarcliff West neighborhood, that residence cost him $995,000 in 2019. Perhaps we’ll see it on the market soon! In any case, his new home purchase barely compares to Swift’s $150 million real estate portfolio. But it’s a good start! And, who knows, maybe the kickoff of a new era?

It turns out her heart really does fit right in the palm of his hand.

Taylor Swift attended her 11th Kansas City Chiefs game on Jan. 21 to support boyfriend Travis Kelce as his team faced off against the Buffalo Bills in a playoff game, and he was sure to show her how much her support meant.

When Travis scored a touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the second quarter of the game, the camera showed the tight end blowing a kiss and holding up a hand heart towards where the Grammy winner watched the game from a suite.

The 34-year-old would go on to score a second touchdown, with the Chiefs ultimately winning over the Bills in a 27-24 game.

And Travis had extra reason to show that corner of the stadium some extra love: Taylor was joined in the luxury suite by Travis’ brother Jason Kelce, his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, as well as his parents Donna Kelce and Ed Kelce.

And when Travis did send his box of loved ones the hand heart, Jason was sure to show exactly what it means to come from the City of Brotherly Love. After Travis’ first touchdown, the Philadelphia Eagles player took off his shirt in an epic celebration—a red shirt that bore Travis’ nickname “Big Yeti.”.

Jason’s attendance comes six days after the Eagles lost to the Tampa Bay buccaneers, losing their shot at this year’s Super Bowl. But despite speculation that Jason was going to use the moment to publicly announce his retirement, he has not shared any such information at this time.

In fact, on the Jan. 17 episode of his and Travis’ New Heights podcast, the 36-year-old said of possible retirement plans, “When it’s time to officially announce what’s happening in the future, it’ll be done in a way that’s definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me and what has led to the career I’ve had.”

For his part, Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs must next defeat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship on Jan. 28, ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl. In the meantime, keep reading for more photos from Taylor’s most recent NFL game day attendance.

Taylor Swift shared hilarious footage of Travis Kelce partying with her parents at a Las Vegas nightclub while raunchy music played in the background as he made his debut on her social media.

The 34-year-old pop megastar took to her TikTok on Monday night to share a funny video of herself cringing while her 34-year-old Super Bowl champion boyfriend partied with her parents Andrea and Scott.

The hilarious video begins with Travis sticking his tongue out before Taylor pans to the packed nightclub shortly after leading his Kansas City Chiefs to victory over the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium.

She then turns the camera onto her parents who are sitting comfortably in the bottle service area while her dad Scott takes a swig from a can.

Finally Taylor turns the camera onto herself as she cringes before pursing her lips and looks away from the camera.

The hitmaker captioned the fun video to her 24.4million followers: ‘accidentally going clubbing with your parents is something everyone should try at least once in their life.’

Adding to the hilarity of the video is that Ludacris’ very raunchy 1999 track What’s Your Fantasy is playing in the background.

No doubt it was an awkward experience for the new couple as the Atlanta-based rapper’s chorus went: ‘I wanna, li-li-li-lick you from your head to your toes / And I wanna, move from the bed down to the, down to the, to the flo’ / Then I wanna, “Ahh ahh, ” you make it so good I don’t wanna leave / But I gotta kn-kn-kn-know, what-what’s your fan-ta-ta-sy.’

Taylor’s fans flooded the comments of the video including one who celebrating Travis making his debut on her social media.

They wrote: ‘YES TRAVIS IS OFFICALLY ON THE TAYLOR SWIFT ACCOUNT’

Another said: ‘TAYLOR WITH THE HARD LAUNCH [four fire and one red hear emojis]’

Others could not believe how personal the clip felt as the megastar is notoriously private about her personal life on her social media accounts.

One follower wrote: ‘this feels like i’m on your close friends story i love it [crying emoji]’

Another Swiftie was charmed by Taylor, Travis, and her parents hanging out.

They wrote: ‘this feels like i’m on your close friends story i love it.’

Also at the same party Travis led his teammates and fans in a rousing rendition of one of Taylor’s hits You Belong with Me, as the final song at the team’s victory party at Zouk Nightclub on the Las Vegas strip.

The New York DJ-duo closed out the night with a version of You Belong with Me, with Kelce leading the crowd and turning to his better half during the eponymous line while pointing to himself.

Another angle showed Swift pointing back at Kelce, while dancing awkwardly to her 2008 song and raising a cocktail.

Shortly afterwards, the house lights dropped and the song became a techno remix with the VIP attendees bouncing along.

At another point in the evening, Kelce was given an MC-type role as he revved the crowd up, at one point leading them in a chant of ‘Na, na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye!’ Although it’s unclear who this was directed at.

No doubt is was a wild night of partying for the power couple as they shared a romantic moment while her 2008 hit Love Story played at the club.

The popstar had cheered on her NFL beau as he clinched his third Super Bowl ring at Allegiant Stadium Sunday and celebrated his win in style.

Kelce and his team headed out to The Strip to party through the night after clinching back-to-back Super Bowls and Swift joined them along with rapper Ice Spice, Blake Lively and Ludacris.

And the Chiefs honored the 14-time Grammy Award winner as the DJ used some of her earliest hits to round off the evening at XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas.

One of Swift’s famous songs from the Fearless album, provided a romantic soundtrack for her and Kelce’s celebratory smooch.

The couple were seen sharing a kiss at the victory party while her hit ‘Love Story’ played in the background.

Before their celebratory smooch, Swift and Kelce were captured jumping up and down as they sung the lyric, ‘You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess,’ to one another.

The lovebirds had arrived at the Las Vegas nightclub with Swift wearing her tight end boyfriend’s black sparkly jacket over her shoulders.

It was a fitting ending to Chiefs Kingdom’s fairytale season, given Swift and Kelce’s love story has dominated headlines and games.

In several clips shared to social media, the nightclub can be seen packed with thousands of Chiefs fans celebrating the victory with the reigning champions while a remix of Swift’s 2008 hit ‘You Belong With Me’ plays.

The tight end, who had nine receptions for 93 yards and zero touchdowns in the Chiefs’ thrilling 25-22 overtime win, could be seen in a DJ booth dancing to his girlfriend’s song.

Kelce led the crowd and turned to his better half during the eponymous line while pointing to himself.

The global superstar herself was even caught singing along to her own tune, pointing to someone in the crowd – likely Kelce – before lifting up her drink and dancing along.

Shortly afterwards, the house lights dropped and the song became a techno remix with the VIP attendees bouncing along.

Kelce, dressed in the same sparkling black outfit by AMIRI that was custom-made for his Super Bowl arrival, was seen sharing the moment with Swift, while also rallying his crowd of admirers from the DJ booth.

The three-time Super Bowl winner grabbed the mic and shouted, ‘Let’s go Chiefs’, while bopping his head from the booth.

He continued his MC-type role as he revved the crowd up, at one point leading them in a chant of ‘Na, na, na, na, hey, hey, goodbye!’ Although it’s unclear who this was directed at.

He also posed for a celebratory snap with Andy Reid – despite his mid-game meltdown at the head coach – and held up three fingers to represent the Super Bowls they have won together.

The team had initially kickstarted their celebrations at Zouk but around 2am local time, The Chainsmokers’ Alex Patell posted a photo showing the group piling into a private jet on the tarmac in Vegas. ‘Let’s go home,’ the caption read.

However, Kelce and co. kept the party going as they headed over to XS Nightclub at around 2.15am.

They were greeted to an over-the-top welcome which included oversized signage and LED screens that read ‘XS welcomes 2024 champs,’ red and yellow confetti flying in the air, and Queen’s popular song ‘We Are The Champions’ blasting throughout the speakers.

DJ Marshmello performed with Mahomes and Kelce seen jumping around on stage with the famed masked artist, with a bottle of champagne in hand, singing and dancing as fans cheered them on.

Mahomes and wife Brittany left around 3.30am but Kelce and Swift continued the celebrations until dawn, eating chicken fingers and fries in the VIP section until 5.15am.

Swift had raced back from Japan to make it to the Super Bowl after playing four straight nights of her Eras Tour in Tokyo this week.

Given she starts a tour of Australia next weekend in Melbourne, she is not anticipated to hang around too late into the night as the Chiefs celebrate making history.

Shortly before the team made it to The Strip, Kelce led the celebrations in the Chiefs locker room at Allegiant Stadium after their dramatic overtime triumph.

Speculation is rampant that Taylor Swift is expecting a baby with new found partner Travis after she was spotted with a prominent stomach bulge on Thursday evening (October , 2023), during romantic dinner date nearby her place.

Another source revealed that “she TWICE made toasts … by drinking water instead of wine,” adding that it is “highly unusual” to “toast with anything but a full glass of wine.” (In case you weren’t aware, pregnant ladies aren’t supposed to drink alcohol.)

Twitter reacts to Taylor Swift pregnancy rumor

The singer rep told journalist, “I do not comment on her personal life,”… and therefore has neither confirmed nor denied. This has caused multiple stories about the alleged pregnancy to make their way through bulletin boards and other social media sites during the past 24 hours, just following engagement rumors earlier this week.

Now we’ll have to wait and see if that ‘baby bump’ and that ‘high-profile wine-voidance’ are the key clues that ultimately lead to the Best Famous Baby News of the year.

Jason and Travis Kelce hilariously beg Taylor Swift’s fans to ‘rig’ Podcast of the Year voting… after admitting ‘a special group of fans joined the show this year’ in the wake of whirlwind romance that has taken over America

Jason and Travis Kelce have put out a hilarious plea for Taylor Swift‘s die-hard fans to ‘rig’ the voting after they were nominated for Podcast of the Year at the 2024 iHeart Radio Awards.

The NFL pair’s ‘New Heights’ show has shot to the top of the podcast this year, in part due to their on-field success – but also because of Travis’ extremely high-profile romance with pop superstar Taylor Swift.

Her fans – known as Swifties – are notoriously passionate, and the Kelce brothers were quick to call on their influence to help them get over the line in their latest award nomination.

‘We’ve been nominated for Podcast of the Year, Best Sports Podcast, and Best Overall Ensemble at the 2024 iHeart Radio Podcast Awards,’ Jason explained on the latest episode of the show. ‘Shoutout as always to the 92 percenters for continuing to support the show.

‘Right now, you can vote for us daily for Podcast of the Year through February 18, and for one special group of fans that have joined the show this year…’

The brothers were filming the latest edition of their New Heights show from Las Vegas, with Travis – and his Kansas City Chiefs – set to play in the Super Bowl on Sunday night.

Last season, they played against each other in what was commonly nicknamed ‘The Kelce Bowl’ – with Travis’ Chiefs running out winners over Jason’s Eagles.

Swift has been a regular guest in the Kelce suite at Kansas City Chiefs games this season

This season, the Eagles were dumped out of the playoffs in the wildcard round by the Buccaneers, but Jason has still made the trip to Vegas to show support for his brother and watch the big game.

That was also the case at the Chiefs’ last two wins, with Jason going shirtless in Buffalo to support the team, before a slightly more calm display in the AFC Championship win over the Ravens in Baltimore on January 28.

The Chiefs are slight Super Bowl underdogs as they prepare to face the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium.

‘No girls allowed’: What the Taylor Swift backlash says about football and politics

For those mulling over their prop bets for Super Bowl Sunday, one item seems to be a virtual certainty: At some point, Taylor Swift—musician, stadium-filling megastar and cat lover—will appear on your screen during the Big Game.

Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce last year, and has attended 12 live football games since, not counting the Super Bowl. Not everyone is pleased. Memes expressing annoyance at shots of Swift popping up during NFL broadcasts have spread across the internet. Some politicians and pundits, meanwhile, have suggested that the entire relationship may be a conspiracy to boost the odds of Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

Jamie Skerski is a former college athlete and associate chair for undergraduate studies in the Department of Communication at CU Boulder. She’s teaching a course this semester titled “Communication, Culture and Sport,” which examines how sports can hold a mirror up to racial and gender politics and other values in the U.S.

Skerski gave CU Boulder Today her take on why some football fans have turned anti the “Anti-Hero” singer—and, to borrow a line from the musician herself, whether they just “need to calm down.”

“What lessons are dads teaching their daughters, and sons, when they react with such disdain?” Skerski said. “They are teaching the Swifties in their life that their interests don’t matter. That a woman who is wildly talented, successful and adored by millions should be demeaned rather than celebrated.”

This seems like a classic love story. Have reactions to her game-day appearances surprised you?
You literally have Travis Kelce, the tight end, and Taylor Swift, who is the equivalent of the homecoming queen—the popular girl and the football player. This is Americana. And yet there’s still this backlash to her being shown on TV.

Why do you think that is?
I think it harkens back to the way we have been taught to dismiss or devalue things that are associated with femininity—whether that be romantic comedies, fashion, love songs.

When people get angry about a 26-second clip of Taylor Swift at a football game, it reminds me of those signs on a treehouse that say, “No girls allowed.” This is a space for masculine values, bonding and friendship, and we don’t want any of the girl stuff to interfere.

Is Taylor Swift actually a distraction for the NFL?
Military flyovers, cheerleaders, the commercials for trucks and beer, those are all distractions to the game. Players being carted off on a stretcher are a distraction. The displays of nationalism and military propaganda are distractions. But those distractions are meant for those viewers.

Taylor Swift represents empowerment for girls and women. She’s about connection and inclusion, not division and competition. Taylor Swift is almost like a fly in their pudding.

Why do you think some on the political right are reacting with such vitriol to Swift?
Politically, they are afraid of the mobilization of the Swifties. I can already see the T-shirts and friendship bracelets that say, “Make America Great Again: Taylor’s Version.”

Is she known for being a particularly political celebrity?
Swift has been vocal about issues in the past. She’s spoken up about LGBTQ rights, racial injustice and women’s reproductive rights, and I expect her to be vocal on these issues as we get closer to the election.

I also think she knows that an endorsement, like endorsing a presidential candidate, is a different genre. It wields a different kind of power. I suspect that she will wield that power very carefully.

Does Swift face different risks than male celebrities who speak out about politics?
There’s a paradox because we hear a lot of people say, ‘Taylor Swift should keep out of politics.’ It’s like when people told LeBron James and other Black athletes who were standing up for racial injustice to ‘shut up and dribble.’

And yet, at the same time, she is facing such pressure to make a statement about the election. She has to walk a very fine line. It’s representative of how we expect women to be perfect at all times. It’s impossible to do.

What is your own history with sports?
I grew up as an athlete, and I went to college on a softball scholarship. I’m able to understand the hype, the devotion, the commitment. We can get absorbed in a game, and it allows us to be present for a moment. It is a moment of Zen.

At the same time, I also understand that everything that’s going on in sport is reflective of things happening in politics, education and other industries. That balance allows me to help my students look at sport as a microcosm for critically examining other institutions, cultures and organizations.

What do you hope will happen on Super Bowl Sunday?
This is an opportunity for fathers and boyfriends to connect with their daughters and the women in their lives and say, ‘What is it about Taylor Swift?’ Instead of demeaning it, it’s a chance for connection.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce only began dating in the summer but already speculation among fans over whether they’ll get engaged is reaching fever pitch.

The rumors reached their peak as Kelce prepared for the Kansas City Chiefs to take home the Super Bowl Ring– and some fans hoped the athlete would have a ring of his own for Swift following the win.

Why is there a rush to see Swift and Kelce get married?

The public’s relationship with Swift’s relationship
Swift is not the only celebrity to have faced excited fans looking for a wedding sooner than later. Swift and Kelce are both 34, and neither have been engaged or married yet. But fans have closely followed Swift’s relationships since she was a teenager and have been there for the dating and the breakups.

“The eternally optimist in me is saying that consumers idealize marriage and want the best for the celebrities,” said Kate Kurtin, a professor of communication studies at California State University in Los Angeles, via email. “The cynic in me is saying that consumers feel an entitlement to know details about celebrities’ lives and ‘get the scoop’ and see all the pictures and marriage is the next demand they are placing on Swift and Kelce.”

When celebrities break up, especially Swift, fans tend to take it hard. That’s particularly true for those in a parasocial relationship with the star. That’s a one-sided relationship with a celebrity that is not a friendship but can feel like one, Kurtin said, who has studied the phenomenon.

Fans who are in a parasocial relationship dynamic tend to be more invested in the relationship than a casual fan, as they are following more closely and keeping up with the articles, photos and videos.

“They are happy for her, just like they would be if their interpersonal friend seems to be happy in a new relationship,” Kurtin said.

The honeymoon phase explained
The couple is still in their “honeymoon phase,” a new relationship where the individuals see one another through “rose-colored glasses,” said Katherine Sloan, a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Asheville, North Carolina, who has been following the star’s relationship.

During the initial stages of a happy relationship, the brain experiences a flooding of neurotransmitters that create pleasure responses, such as dopamine and oxytocin, Sloan said. “We don’t see the red flags, we are just so elated, that, you know, we’re in love with somebody, we don’t notice the nuances that are later going to come up.”

Big decisions like marriage and when to have children are not ones to be taken lightly, yet the pressure only seems to increase after someone reaches their 30s, she added.

Kelce had responded to the questions of marriage from the media with poise, but it can be trickier when the question is coming from family and friends. What’s more, pressure about marriage can put pressure on the couple, Sloan said.

How to handle pressure to get married
The best way to handle the intrusive questions is to set clear boundaries about what topics are open for discussion and which ones are best to be avoided.

“We can be clear about what conversations are and aren’t allowed with other people,” Sloan said. “We can tell our family or friends like, ‘Hey, I’m feeling pressured. And I need time to make sure that I’m really compatible with this person.’”

It is important to have good communication with your partner and understand how they may feel about the pressure, as well as how to answer questions together going forward.

As for Swift and Kelce, they are the only ones who can see what goes on behind closed doors within their relationship.

“I think people are just so invested in it, because people have watched her grow up and have seen her struggle with relationships and want to see her happy,” Sloan said. “And hopefully, this will be it. Hopefully, this is the one. But we don’t know.”

And while fans are longing to see that fairy tale wedding for Swift, and as many people do for their friends and family, the question of marriage is only for the partners to discuss, Sloan said.

As Swift might say, you (and we) need to calm down.
