It’s official – Taylor Swift has landed in Sydney as she continues her sold out Eras Tour in Australia. 

The megastar, 34, was spotted boarding her private jet in Melbourne on Monday  after wrapping up her third and final show at the MCG on Sunday night.

Showing off her long legs, the Shake It Off hitmaker wore a dark mini skirt paired with a red T-shirt that revealed a glimpse of midriff for her flight.

She paid tribute to her boyfriend Travis Kelce by wearing a Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LVIII Champs baseball cap after his team’s big win earlier this month.

Swift was accompanied by her entourage as she climbed the stairs of her Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft, which boasts a double bed and fine dining cabin.

It’s official – Taylor Swift is on her way to Sydney as she continues her sold out Eras Tour in Australia

The megastar, 34, was spotted boarding her private jet in Melbourne on Monday after wrapping up her third and final show at the MCG on Sunday night

She looked typically glamorous, wearing her blonde locks out in a wavy style along with her signature bold red lipstick.

The sighting marks the first time Swift has been spotted in public in Australia.

Swift landed just in Sydney at about 1.30pm after her flight was delayed 30 minutes due to the severe thunderstorms.

A group of fans braved the wild weather to greet Swift as her plane landed, hoping to catch a glimpse of the star as she disembarked.

While Australians have seen the likes of Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker and Pink! out and about in public in recent weeks before Monday’s sighting Swift has managed to completely evade the spotlight while Down Under.

Swift is said to be staying in a private residence while she is in Sydney – a stunning mansion located in the eastern suburbs.

But while she is visiting the harbour city, it is unlikely fans will see Swift out and about.

Between her tour legs, Taylor has ‘dead days’.

‘I do not leave my bed except to get food and take it back to my bed and eat it there,’ she Time magazine last year.

‘It’s a dream scenario. I can barely speak because I’ve been singing for three shows straight. Every time I take a step my feet go crunch, crunch, crunch from dancing in heels. But it’s the most fulfilled I’ve ever felt.’

Meanwhile, rumours are also heating up that her beau Kelce will be travelling to Australia to join his girlfriend and the couple may enjoy a romantic holiday together in Queensland this week.

Several reports have speculated they could head to the Great Barrier Reef before the pop star’s Sydney shows.

Travis dropped a huge hint on last week’s episode of his New Heights podcast, claiming that he would ‘venture to an island real soon’ with the best ones being ‘south’ of the US.

He added this week’s podcast is a pre-recorded guest episode which he is not featured in, which led fans to believe he would join his girlfriend in Sydney from February 23 – and maybe travel with her to Singapore for her shows in the first week of March.

Travis has stayed close to home following his Super Bowl win, with exclusive DailyMail.com pictures showing him driving his Rolls Royce in Kansas City to get lunch with a friend on Saturday.

Taylor jetted into Melbourne to kick off her Australian tour in a private jet earlier this month, and was quickly whisked away from the airport by a convoy of black SUVs.

She arrived at the MCG in Melbourne on Friday in a similar manner, driving up to the venue with an FBI-style cavalcade of blacked out Land Rovers.

Swift’s departure for Sydney comes after she made shock on stage announcement in Melbourne on Sunday evening about her upcoming shows in New South Wales.

Swift told the packed crowd she was revising her rule of never performing the same acoustic ‘Surprise Song’ more than once on her Eras Tour.

Travis dropped a huge hint he could head Down Under on last week’s episode of his New Heights podcast, claiming that he would ‘venture to an island real soon’ with the best ones being ‘south’ of the US

‘I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward and I don’t want to limit anything or say, “If I played this song, I can’t play it again”,’ Swift began.

‘So, from now on, I don’t want to take any paint colours out of the paintbox or tools out of the toolbox.

‘I want to be able to play songs more than once if I feel like it and I want to be able to make changes to songs. Does that sound OK?’ she added.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have teamed up for a charity gift of a lifetime — the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s jersey, signed by both the player himself and his pop-superstar girlfriend.

The couple donated the highly coveted item to the Guelph Wish Fund for Children — a charity serving children under the age of 19 who are living with significant illnesses in Guelph or Wellington County in Ontario, Canada —with the item to go up for auction on Saturday, Page Six Style has learned.

It also includes a photo of the couple embracing after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game on Jan. 28., with the singer, 34, sporting a red sweater and an arm around her beau.

Sadly for Swifties around the world, the item will be available only to those who attend the charity’s 8th Annual Curl for Kids Winter Bonspiel event on Feb. 18.

While Swift — who began dating Kelce in July 2023 and has become a fixture at his football games around the country, including the Feb. 11 Super Bowl — has not been involved in this particular charity in the past, one valuable member of the Guelph Wish Fund for Children team is connected to the sports world and secured the donations.

Teammate Patrick Mahomes also offered up his signed jersey for the event, which will also feature mementos from Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Aaron Judge, Wayne Gretzky, Christian Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and more. There’s even Black Mamba-edition Los Angeles Lakers jerseys up for grabs, signed by both James and Kobe Bryant himself. Kelce also teamed up with quarterback Mahomes to sign a Chiefs-edition football.

Travis Kelce knew fame as a football star prior to this past season, but he couldn’t have known how much more intense the media spotlight would become when his romance with pop star Taylor Swift became public.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reportedly bought a $6 million private mansion in October. His brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, said Travis bought the mansion because of all the unannounced visitors he was getting at his previous home

“He had to completely move out of his house,” Kelce told NBA great Shaquille O’Neal on Thursday’s episode of The Big Podcast With Shaq. “People were just staying by his house. The first day he moved into the new house … a gated community, someone knocks on a window of the house.”

Swift went from being ultra private in her relationship with Joe Alwyn to flaunting her passionate PDA with Travis Kelce practically everywhere – and now, relationship experts have revealed why the sudden 180 may be a sign that she and the athlete are the real deal

Ever since the singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 34, started dating in September, they’ve been extremely open about their romance.
‘People are analyzing, and picking things apart because these two are superstars – that’s it. They aren’t part of a “PSYOP” to sway an election, or anything else – they are in love.’

Due to the very different approaches, some have wondered if Taylor and Travis constantly flaunting their love for the entire world to see is a red flag – but according to a series of love gurus, the two stars’ public affection may actually act as proof that their relationship is stronger than ever.

New York-based dating coach Megan Weks told DailyMail.com exclusively that the couple’s incessant PDA makes it ‘clear’ just how ‘comfortable’ Taylor and Travis feel with one another.

She added that it seemed like the pop sensation could really ‘be herself’ around him – something that was ‘stunted in previous relationships.’

‘Taylor is definitely not overcompensating by being public with Travis. What she’s doing is being herself, something which felt stunted in previous relationships,’ Megan dished.

‘She’s never felt so supported and liberated to be exactly who she is within a relationship, and it shows.

‘She’s shining, she’s vulnerable, she can melt into this relationship, she can lean on him. She has someone to call and share the intimacies of public life with, and he’s here for all of it.

‘In Taylor’s TikTok shared with Travis in it, you can clearly see how comfortable they both are, and how genuine and funny they can be together.

Over the course of their six-year relationship, the hitmaker and the movie star hardly ever talked about one another in interviews and did their best to hide from cameras when they were out together – and they certainly never shared social media posts with each other.

Taylor Swift addresses pregnancy rumor and fans were surprised hearing this from her mouth “Unbelievable” 😍

Donna kelce is proud to see the kids her grandchildren are growing up into. The proud NFL mom, 71, to Travis and Jason Kelce tells PEOPLE that it’s been a blast seeing the world get to appreciate Jason and wife Kylie Kelce’s three girls — Bennett, 10 months, Elliotte, 2½, and Wyatt, 4.

“I like seeing Wyatt’s articulate, confident growth into her own identity,” Donna shares with PEOPLE while detailing her holiday partnership with Aramark Sports + Entertainment. The grandmother, whom the girls call Dee Dee, also celebrates “Elliotte’s sweet disposition and loving nature – while still showing traits of a toddler.” “And Bennett’s [got a] chill, independent, and happy temperament,” she concludes.

 

While discussing her partnership with Aramark Sports to bring the “old-fashioned bake sale” to her son’s team’s stadiums on Christmas Day — raising money for the Eagles Autism Foundation in Philadelphia and Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City — Donna also talked about baking with her oldest granddaughter.

“Baking is a wonderful activity to do with family and friends, and now I have a little helper in Wyatt,” she raves. “I look forward to passing on my tips and tricks to the girls so that they can eventually pass these traditions on to their own families one day.”

Last month, Kylie caught up with PEOPLE about her holiday plans and shared how much Wyatt was enjoying getting to help out in the kitchen. “My oldest just got to do the Mama Kelce dinner rolls at Thanksgiving. So now, she thinks that she is the queen of the rolls,” Kylie laughed. “So, I think for our Christmas meal, she will end up helping my mother-in-law again because they absolutely nailed it. They were outstanding, as usual.”

It’s a secret so hot it could have melted the Buffalo snow, and it was sealed with a kiss on New Year’s Eve.

Fans swooned over pictures of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s midnight kiss in Kansas City – but little did they know the couple was not only ushering in a new year but vowing to spend the rest of their lives together.

 

The anonymous creator of the Deux Moi podcast broke the news of what she called a secret ‘engagement.’ last week, claiming that a trusted source told her: ‘Taylor and Travis got engaged 12/31. They did it just the two of them alone before that party they were photographed at.’.

But the loved up couple are not ready to make it official yet.

Swift, 34, and Kelce, also 34, have so much on their plates in the coming months it is simply, ‘too soon to go public’ and make it official.

The hosts went on to discuss how it was ‘too soon’ for them to make any public and official commitment with the playoffs then still to come and Swift’s continued tour.

 

Deux Moi said: ‘They don’t want to overshadow that. It’s too soon.’

But, however level-headed this decision, Kelce had no problems making his feelings for Swift very public during Sunday’s victorious game against the Buffalo Bills.

With temperatures plummeting on the field, he warmed the hearts of millions with a sweet display just for Swift.

At one point he blew a kiss up to the VIP box where she and his family cheered him on.

At another – after one of the two touchdowns scored in what was the game of his life – he turned to where Swift whooped with joy, formed a love-heart with his hands and sent it straight to her.

It was a public declaration, clear as day that while his head was in the game, his heart was with Swift all the way.

For her part, with an ever-expanding wardrobe of hats, shirts and jackets bearing her boyfriend’s name and number 87, Swift has taken to quite literally wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Sunday was no different as she donned her red hat and cream jacket to cheer the Chiefs on alongside supermodel and actress pal Cara Delevingne, new bestie Brittany Mahomes, 28, and her putative sister-in-law Kylie Kelce, 31, whom she was meeting for the first time along with Kelce’s brother Jason.

Never backwards in coming forwards Jason, 36, stripped off to his waist, pounded Budweisers and roared into the night and the crowd as his little brother and team romped to a 27-24 win in a fiercely fought battle to remain in the running for the Super Bowl.

But while Travis has met Swift’s father and she in turn has now met and spent time with all the Kelce clan – mother Donna, father Ed and brother and sister-in-law Jason and Kylie – both Swift and Kelce know that now is not the time to be making any announcements.

In recent weeks there has been a flurry of flip-flopping headlines – they’re engaged, they’re not engaged, he’s shopping for a ring, they may not go the distance.

On January 11, Page Six reported that the couple plans to get engaged this summer.

On January 12 The Daily Mirror reported that there were ‘no plans’ for an engagement.

And on January 15, TMZ reported insiders questioning whether the relationship would even ‘go the distance.’

Day after day the rumor mill churns. And throughout it all Kelce and Swift have remained serenely and graciously silent.

Because the truth is they know exactly where they’re at in their relationship and the promise that they have made to one another.

But for now, Kelce’s focus must remain on the game, with the Chiefs facing the Baltimore Ravens next week and just one victory away from a spot in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.

And for Swift, the consummate professional, it’s time to gear up for the next leg of her blockbuster Eras tour in Japan next month.

With four tour dates leading up to the eve of the Super Bowl on February 11, it seems unlikely Swift will be in the crowd to cheer Kelce in Vegas should the team make it through.

After that she has dates in Australia and Singapore before a couple of months break to decompress before embarking on the monster tour’s European leg which starts in France in May. It is rumored that Kelce – whose hope by then will be to have secured a third Super Bowl ring – plans to join her in Europe.

But however mindful the loved-up couple must be of each other’s careers, their commitment to each other is not in doubt, a fact on which they doubled down as 2023 gave way to 2024.

Shimmering in a silver sparkly dress, celestial-inspired hairpins completing the look, Swift toasted the New Year alongside Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 28, and wife Brittany with whom she has become fast friends.

Little did others know that they were watching a couple seal a secret promise they had made to each other earlier that evening.

Because hours earlier Kelce, fresh from the Kansas Chief’s 25-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, and Swift, a now almost constant presence in Arrowhead’s VIP box come gameday, quietly agreed that theirs is a relationship that is heading to the altar.

But, for now, the couple has agreed to keep the news on the down low giving them space to fulfill their promises to their fans and their followers, secure in the knowledge that their promise to each other will keep.

If you’re Donna Kelce, you’re probably considered one of the luckiest women on the planet. To have two amazingly talented sons who went head-to-head for a Super Bowl ring, that stick together like glue and just want to make their mom proud? Who wouldn’t desire such a lovely life?!

While there’s no denying that seeing her boys shine in their own right and together is the light of her life, Donna Kelce is quickly becoming her own type of celebrity and her latest collaboration with Heluva Good! gives us a look into how to throw the best Super Bowl party, DK-style.

Teaming up with the popular brand to launch the Big Game Countdown Calendar — a seven day countdown that includes a variety of delicious dips and surprises for your own game day party — Mama Kelce sat down with Parade to let us in on all things entertaining and, of course, a few things about two of America’s newest sweethearts: her sons Jason and Travis.

“It’s really kind of interesting because I’ve been using them (the dips) for years.

I love their French Onion, Buttermilk Ranch, the Jalapeño Cheddar and the Heluva Good! White Cheddar Bacon,” she said.

“I also have a 7-layer dip recipe using the Jalapeño Cheddar that’s really, really tasty.”

Stating the the Countdown Calendar is “brilliant” and “one of those things that will build up the excitement towards the game,” the sports and cheese-themed advent calendar wasn’t the only thing that made Donna Kelce smile from ear-to-ear. When the topic of her boys came up, she held back nothing — especially when we touched on both Travis and Jason’s least favorite foods.

“I would definitely say any kind of vegetable for Travis. Spinach, you name it. Not a big fan of veggies,” she told Parade. “But Jason would pretty much eat anything you put in front of him as long as it had butter or cheese.”

Noting that veggies were an “afterthought” for both Kelce boys as it is for most kids, Mama Kelce did clarify that Travis — though now someone who will eat most anything (except mayo) — definitely takes the title as the pickier eater amongst the two.

Patrick Mahomes has long established himself as the best quarterback in the NFL, but this year he’s become the most elusive as well.

For what is supposed to be the Jets’ greatest strength, it presents an opportunity to deliver a loud statement.

Mahomes and the Chiefs enter their Week 4 clash against the Jets having allowed just one sack this season, tied with the Dolphins for the fewest in the league.

Mahomes has been pressured on just 25.4 percent of drop-backs, the lowest rate of his career, according to ESPN Next Gen Stats.

In the Chiefs’ Week 3 win over the Bears, Mahomes threw 24 of his 33 passes from inside the tackle box without being pressured, completing 18 of them for 212 yards and three touchdowns.

“When you look at how many times he’s been sacked and this and that, we don’t know none of that stuff until it’s brought up to us, because it doesn’t f—ing matter,” edge rusher John Franklin-Myers told The Post after practice on Wednesday. “They do a good job up front, I’m not gonna lie. Overall they do a good job protecting him, but what a challenge. We have to go in there and stop that and put more sacks on the board, put more pressure on the board and change the narrative of that.”

The Jets’ pass-rushing unit certainly talked themselves up before the season and was expected to be the teams’ deepest group. But they have just six sacks this year, tied for 10th-least in the league. In their Week 3 loss to the Patriots, the Jets did not record a single sack.

Now, they’re up against the NFL’s best.

For the Jets to have any chance against the reigning champions, it’s time for the pass-rush to back up all that talk.

“Mahomes is just a dynamic quarterback,” edge rusher Jermaine Johnson told The Post. “He’s gonna extend the play, that’s his superpower, that’s where the magic lies. …We look forward to the challenge.”

But it’s not just Mahomes’ ability to elude tacklers that has the Chiefs where they are.

Kansas City invested heavily in their offensive line this past offseason, most notably signing right tackle Jawaan Taylor to a four-year, $80 million deal. The Chiefs also signed left tackle Donovan Smith to a one-year deal worth up to $9 million.

Left guard Joe Thuney is in the third season of a five-year, $80 million deal he signed as a free agent. Center Creed Humphrey and right guard Trey Smith are in their third seasons after being drafted in the second and sixth rounds, respectively.

“They’re really good in the interior three, the tackles are experienced and athletic,” head coach Robert Saleh said. “It’s just a really good group. … There’s definitely not a weakness in the offense.”

After spending three hours next to her amid the Kansas City Chiefs’ beatdown of the Chicago Bears, Donna Kelce has shared her thoughts on Taylor Swift.

Travis Kelce will be relieved with her thoughts.

According to TMZ, Swift’s first time meeting Kelce’s mom went “very well.” She called Swift “a lovely person.”

The pair of Swift and Kelce have been hanging out for a while now. It’s been reported on by numerous outlets. Swift showing up at the Chiefs game was a big step for the relationship. The two were seen leaving the game together and drove to a restaurant after it. Reportedly, Kelce and Swift rented out the resturant they went to for family, friends, and teammates.

Travis Kelce is in the midst of his eleventh NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s coming off of his seventh-straight 1,000+ yard season and second Super Bowl win. His Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl — a team that features his brother, Jason Kelce, on it.

Taylor Swift has her hands full in the meantime. She is set to release her second (Taylor’s Version) album of the year (and fourth overall), 1989 (Taylor’s Version), this fall. The album will be released on October 27.

Additionally, Swift is on a short break from her “Eras” tour. The three-hour extravaganza toured stadiums across the United States this year and played a few dates in Mexico to close out the (cruel) summer. In November, she will play a string of dates throughout Argentina and Brazil. 2024 will bring the tour to Japan, all across Europe, and back to the United States.

Brittany Mahomes knew the Chiefs would go back-to-back.

After a 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 2024, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared a victorious message with Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.

“I told you!” Brittany yelled from the podium, where the postgame Vince Lombardi trophy celebration took place.

The newly named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie was seen pointing in Swift’s direction, while the “Cruel Summer” singer stood on the field with Donna Kelce, in a photo posted to X by CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones.

The 14-time Grammy-winning singer wore black velvet boots with red bottoms by Louboutin with Kelce’s No. 87 imprinted on them in red and gold jewels, per Jones.

Swift and Kelce shared a kiss and a long embrace on the field at Allegiant Stadium after the All-Pro tight end secured his third Super Bowl ring in five years.

“It was unbelievable!” Swift told Kelce repeatedly. “That was the craziest thing I’ve ever experienced.”

The Chiefs were underdogs for Super Bowl 2024, with the 49ers being favored by 2.5 points at FanDuel heading into the Big game.
