BREAKING!! Chiefs’ Travis Kelce drops Taylor Swift truth bomb

after Australia trip: ‘Best thing possible’

Has there been a professional athlete

that has had a better past two seasons than Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce?

Not only has Kelce been extremely successful on the grid iron, as he has hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in two consecutive Februaries, but his personal life seems to be in a much better place, albeit a highly public one, as evidenced by his fruitful romantic relationship with mega pop star Taylor Swift.

Simply put, Kelce is loving life, and why wouldn’t he? He has been blessed with success many professional athletes can only dream of, his love life looks to be in a healthy place, and his partner has been nothing but supportive of his endeavors. The NFL’s preeminent power couple also recently went on a trip to Australia, which the Chiefs tight end described as one of the best experiences of his life.

“It’s a wild ride, but I will tell you this: Australia? Did not disappoint. It was amazing over there,” Kelce recalled on the March 6 episode of his “New Heights” podcast with his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, via Drew Weisholtz of Today. “This is all because Taylor’s the biggest and the best thing possible.”

In particular, Travis Kelce detailed how the trip to Australia, particularly Sydney, was whirlwind; not only was he able to encounter kangaroos, red pandas, and rhinoceros during their trip to the Sydney Zoo, the Chiefs tight end also admired the Australia crowd for being as raucous as they were during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour performance in the land down under.

“Sydney did not disappoint. I’m pretty sure the crowds over there are — they’re already rowdy. The Australians are pretty rowdy. They like to have a good time. I like to have a good time. Taylor is very fond of performing in Australia because of the crowds over there and how into it they get. Shout out to Australia for showing up, showing out,” Kelce added.

Now a three-time Super Bowl champion and a loving boyfriend to Taylor Swift, circumstances cannot get much better for Travis Kelce as he spends his offseason enjoying the finer things in life.

One of the mourners who waited more than 12 hours in line to pay his respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II in London last month was David Beckham, whose wife said Thursday that the experience “meant so much” to the retired soccer legend.

Fashion mogul Victoria Beckham told Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb on TODAY about her husband joining the massive crowds waiting to see the queen on Sept. 16 when she was lying in state at London’s Westminster Hall.

“David felt very humbled by the experience,” she said. “It was something that he really wanted to do. And he is so happy that he did it. He said the experience was something that he struggles to even express. It meant so much to him.”

David Beckham, 47, queued up for 14 hours to see the queen, according to his wife.

“He said he met some really amazing people,” she said. “He was buying them all doughnuts. He said, ‘I met some great, great people,’ and he’s just so happy he did it.”

David Beckham also spoke to Reuters on Sept. 16 while he was waiting in a line that stretched for more than 5 miles.

“I think it’s what I always wanted to do, in all honesty,” he said. “I think we’re all here to celebrate Her Majesty, our queen, so I think it’s special to experience something like this together. It’s what I think she would have wanted.”

The former Spice Girl also had a public moment of her own earlier this month when she broke down in tears while walking the runway during Paris Fashion Week to unveil the 2023 spring/summer collection of her eponymous fashion line.

Her husband and their four children — Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 20, Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11 — were in attendance.

“I was so emotional because it’s such a big deal for me to have a show in Paris,” she said. “It was a real highlight of my career. I had my family there, I had my friends there, and I felt so proud of my team, I really did.

“I was planning on coming out and having a very cool picture taken, and I just broke down when I saw my husband and my children, who are so supportive of what I do.”

It’s been a big year for their family, as Brooklyn Beckham tied the knot in April with his wife, actor Nicola Peltz, 27, at a ceremony at her family home in Palm Beach, Florida.

“It was a beautiful wedding,” Victoria Beckham said. “As a mother, to see my son so happy means so much. What more can you ask for?”

She also shared what has worked for her and her husband while raising four children despite being two of Britain’s biggest celebrities during their 23-year marriage.

“I think it’s just being close and having good family around us, my parents and David’s parents, and just talking to them about everything,” she said. “We’re very, very present. The kids are happy, hardworking, respectful kids, and that’s what you want.”

Justin Bieber has revealed a surprise for Selena Gomez that has everyone buzzing.

The former couple has had a tumultuous relationship in the past, but it seems like Justin is looking to make amends with a spicy surprise for his ex-girlfriend.

Details of the surprise have not been disclosed yet, but fans are eagerly waiting to see what Justin has in store for Selena. This unexpected gesture from Justin has sparked speculation and excitement among their fans.

It is unclear what the surprise entails, but it is sure to be something that will catch Selena off guard.

This surprise could possibly signify a new chapter in their relationship or simply be a thoughtful gesture from Justin.

Regardless, it is a surprising turn of events that has everyone talking about the former couple once again. Stay tuned for updates on what Justin Bieber has planned for Selena Gomez.

The punch stats for Tyson Fury’s controversial win over Francis Ngannou have been released – and they are slightly embarrassing for the WBC heavyweight champion.

Fury, 35, was awarded a contentious split-decision victory over Ngannou after their 10-round heavyweight fight in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

The ‘Gypsy King’ looked out of sorts throughout his fight against the former UFC heavyweight champion, who was making his professional boxing debut.

Despite being knocked down in the third round, Fury was given the win 96-93 and 95-94 on two of the judges’ cards, with the other judge scoring it 95-94 for Ngannou. Check out the knockdown below.

The final scores have proved to be controversial, with an illegal elbow by Fury in the sixth round not spotted by the referee.

Ngannou caused major problems for Fury throughout the bout and took to social media afterwards to express his frustration.

“Tyson should say thank you to those 2 judges because I didn’t win this fight,” he posted on X.

He then shared a post from Mike Tyson, which read: “The true champ of the evening @francis_ngannou. So proud how you performed.”

According to Compubox, Fury landed 71 of his 223 total punches, while Ngannou managed to score with 59 from 231.

Fury landed more punches than his opponent in six of the 10 rounds.

Ngannou lost the decision, but won the night, outlanding Fury 37-32 in power shots and dropping Fury in round 3. Fury had a 71-59 edge in landed punches. Ngannou might want back the last 2 rounds, when he landed just 6 of 38 punches to 13 of 37 for Fury.

While Fury did edge total punches landed, Ngannou landed more power punches than the lineal heavyweight champion, with 37 to Fury’s 32.

With the stats so close, Ngannou can count himself unlucky to have lost out on the judges’ scorecards, especially when considering the knockdown and the illegal elbow which wasn’t spotted by the referee.

Fury is now set to face unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed title, with the fight expected to take place early next year.

Reba McEntire Shares Precious Memories of Her Mama With Fans [Pictures]

Reba McEntire is using her new song, “Seven Minutes in Heaven,” as a way of connecting with fans over some of life’s most bittersweet moments.

The song finds McEntire wondering what she’d do if she could make a quick trip to the afterlife. Not even the singer’s musical heroes like Johnny Cash or Elvis Presley would get her attention during a trip this short: She’d need to save up every second for the one special person she wants to see the most.

Of course, that’s McEntire’s mother Jacqueline, who died in March 2020 at 93 years old.

Since she released the song and its accompanying music video, McEntire’s fans have been putting out their own videos set to “Seven Minutes in Heaven,” focusing on the late loved ones they’re yearning to see again most.

The singer’s seen all those tributes, and she wanted to participate: On social media, McEntire recently shared a montage of photos of her and her mom together.

“I’ve been so touched seeing all the videos y’all have been making using ‘Seven Minutes in Heaven’ in dedication to your loved ones. I dedicated this song to my mama,” she explains in the caption. “She took a trip to heaven in 2020 and I’ve give anything to visit her up there for seven minutes.”

The clip takes fans through McEntire’s family, starting with her young childhood: We see a black-and-white photo of a preschool-aged McEntire posing with her mom. As the years continue, both McEntire and her mom get older — but they’ve still got the same obvious love for each other in the photographs through the years.

McEntire also put a spotlight on her mom in the “Seven Minutes in Heaven” music video, with McEntire showing up at a corner booth in heaven for a special, long-awaited reunion with her mom. Though Jacqueline’s face is never shown directly in the clip, it’s clear from the build and hair of the woman sitting across the table from McEntire that it’s her mom she’s thinking about as she sings.

“This one was an emotional one to film, but I’m sure glad we did,” the singer wrote on social media when the video first came out.

“Seven Minutes in Heaven” comes off the tracklist of McEntire’s Not That Fancy album, a companion to her book of the same title. The project primarily consists of a series of revisited hits, including stripped down versions of “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia,” “Fancy” and “Consider Me Gone.”

How Well Do You Really Know Reba? 

Formula One expert Ralf Schumacher believes that Christian Horner‘s refusal to leave Red Bull Racing will result in star man Max Verstappen quitting the team.

Horner was cleared of ‘coercive behaviour’ towards a female employee, though screenshots of a text conversation allegedly between the pair were leaked a day after via an anonymous email.

The husband of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, faced fresh turmoil after allegations were published in a bombshell 19-page investigation that named his accuser, while footage has emerged of the beleaguered F1 boss having a row with Jos Verstappen – father of his star driver Max.

Verstappen Snr exclusively told Mail Sport that the team would ‘explode’ if Horner remained at the head of the team. ‘He is playing the victim, when he is the one causing the problems.’ He added.

Schumacher, a former Formula One driver and brother of sporting legend Michael, shares a similar philosophy and is convinced Horner will drive away the three-time world champion.

Geri Halliwell and Horner made a very public show of unity at the Bahrain GP last weekend

‘If Christian Horner holds on to his seat with all his might,’ he told Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung. ‘He will not only damage Red Bull, he will also ensure that Max Verstappen leaves the team.’

The tensions within the team highlighted by Jos Verstappen raised speculation that Max could not only be on his way out of Red Bull but may even opt for a switch to bitter rivals Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton vacating his seat in 2025.

Jos dined with the Mercedes team principal last week in Bahrain ahead of the opening race and was then seen in dialogue with the German during the weekend event.

Ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this weekend Max made a passionate defence of his father, who he said is ‘not a liar’.

Schumacher reckons Wolff is the big winner of the Red Bull infighting and predicted the 52-year-old would be delighted at what is unfolding at the Milton Keynes-based outfit.

‘I see it very critically,’ he added. ‘What has been achieved at the moment is that the best team that has existed in the last decade – with Mercedes – is currently destroying itself from the inside.

‘I think Toto Wolff is there as an onlooker with relatively great joy. He can come out of this as a big winner.’

Reba McEntire’s Son, Shelby Blackstock + His Wife Reveal Fertility Struggles

Shelby Blackstock, who is the only child of Reba McEntire, and his wife Marissa have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now — but they’ve faced some challenges along the way.

On Sunday (Nov. 26), Marissa shared a lengthy social media post detailing the fertility struggles she and her husband have encountered.

After trying through natural methods for some time, she explains, they enlisted the help of “Nashville’s top OBGYN,” and November marked their first medicated cycle. “Though it didn’t bring the news we hoped for, I’m reminded that success is about more than just results — it’s about gratitude for our health and each other,” Marissa writes.

“We’ve faced some scares,” she continues elsewhere in the post, explaining that she’s undergone an MRI for “prolactinemia-related concerns” as well as an HSG test, with results coming back clear for both. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, hysterosalpingography (HSG) is “an X-ray procedure that is used to view the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes,” and can show if the fallopian tubes are blocked or if the uterus is of normal size and shape.

“The two-week wait (TWW) has been full of ups and downs,” Marissa adds, referring to the two weeks between when ovulation occurs and when a pregnancy can be detected by a home pregnancy test. “I’m not looking for sympathy, but a bit of understanding goes a long way.”

“Life Update ❤️ To everyone who’s been part of our story, and those just joining: Shelby and I have been on our journey to start a family for over a year now. We’re under the care of Nashville’s top OBGYN, stepping forward with hope and resilience. This month was our first treatment cycle, and though it didn’t bring the news we hoped for, I’m reminded that success is more than just results – it’s about gratitude for our health and each other.

I have to say, Shelby has been an incredibly supportive partner through all of this. His strength and optimism have been my rock. Amid the challenges, we’ve found that it helps immensely to have little things to look forward to. A tip for anyone on a similar path: plan small, joyful activities regardless of the outcome. Like us booking a tee time at the Grand Opening of Puttshack – it was our way to ensure we’d have a moment of fun and connection, positive test or not.

We’ve faced some scares (MRI for prolactinemia-related concerns and HSG tests came back clear, thankfully), and the two-week wait (TWW) has been full of ups and downs. I’m not looking for sympathy, but a bit of understanding goes a long way.

I’m sharing our story openly because the silence around fertility struggles needs to be broken. It’s a tougher and more common journey than many realize. If you’re in the midst of this too, remember, you’re not alone. The emotional whirlwind is completely normal. Let’s keep supporting each other, finding joy in the small things, and holding onto hope. 💕 I’d love to hear your stories or words of encouragement. How do you stay positive during challenging times?”, Shelby Blackstock’s wife shares on her IG.

Although she speaks openly about the challenges and disappointments she and her husband are facing, Marissa’s post also sheds light on the positive side of their journey towards parenthood. “Shelby has been an incredibly supportive partner through all of this. His strength and optimism have been my rock,” she writes. “Amid the challenges, we’ve found that it helps immensely to have little things to look forward to.”

Marissa concludes her message by explains she wants to help break the stigma and silence that often surrounds fertility issues.

“It’s a tougher and more common journey than many realize,” she points out. “If you’re in the midst of this too, remember, you’re not alone. The emotional whirlwind is completely normal. Let’s keep supporting each other, finding joy in the small things, and holding onto hope.”

Marissa also shared more of her experience on an Instagram Stories slide, posting a photo of a cocktail that she ordered to help ease the disappointment of a negative pregnancy test (which she refers to as a “BFN,” short for “Big Fat Negative.”)

“Helping myself to a spicy marg after a BFN,” she writes.

Blackstock and Marissa got married in Walt Disney World in February 2022. Of course, McEntire herself was on hand to celebrate, and she even took the spotlight once or twice during the festivities. The mother and son danced to “You’re Gonna Be (Always Loved By Me),” McEntire’s own 2005 release, and she even sang her hit “Fancy” for guests at the reception.

Was Reba McEntire Wearing an Engagement Ring on ‘The Voice’?

The Voice was back on Monday night for the first round of live tapings, and coach Reba McEntire arrived on set with something new and sparkly on her finger.

That’s right: McEntire was rocking a sparkly diamond ring on her left ring finger, leading fans to wonder if she and her longtime boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, have gotten engaged.

McEntire and Linn have been dating since 2020.
Linn has never been married, while McEntire has been married twice before. McEntire was previously married to producer and manager Narvel Blackstock for 26 years, and they divorced in 2015.
The singer recently said that whether or not she and Linn get married is “up to him totally,” and that she’s enjoying traveling and spending time together.

It seems like these two are on the brink of an engagement — but McEntire said they’re not there quite yet. When asked about her eye-catching new accessory on the set of The Voice, the star told ET that she “just found it,” and she figured she would “put something over here, just let everybody talk about it.”

She also confirmed that she’s not currently planning a wedding.

In the same conversation, McEntire reviewed her experience with The Voice thus far and gushed over the talent on her team going into the live voting episodes. She also addressed the departure of her contestant Tom Nitti, who left the show for “personal reasons” in late November.

“We’ve been emailing back and forth, and all of our hearts went out to him ’cause he couldn’t finish the competition,” McEntire says. “He is so strong. So good. So he’s gonna be watching and cheering all of us on, but our hearts are with him.”
