Fans had long waited to see Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, in the same room, and the moment finally arrived in January 2024.

Swift was first linked to Travis in September 2023 when she was spotted cheering him on at a Kansas City Chiefs game in a suite with his mother, Donna Kelce. While some fans were surprised to see Swift making such a quick connection with Travis’ family, the pop star later clarified in a December 2023 TIME interview that she and Travis were already “a couple” by the time she attended her first Chiefs game.

Throughout the NFL season, Swift was spotted with Donna and Travis’ father, Ed Kelce, multiple times, but Swifties were most eager to see her spending time with his brother, Jason Kelce, and Kylie. An opportunity arose when the Chiefs played Jason’s team, the Philadelphia Eagles, in November 2023, but Swift was unable to attend the game due to a rescheduled concert in South America.

The couple finally did cross paths with Swift two months later when they supported Travis and the Chiefs in a playoff game against the Buffalo Bills — and Jason made a memorable first impression by taking off his shirt in the suite and jumping out into the stands. Before she had to wrangle her husband back inside, Kylie was seen chatting with Swift.

Seeing Swift “seamlessly” fit in with his family “means everything” to Travis, a source exclusively told Us in January 2024. “It’s almost like she’s known his family forever, and he loves that about her,” the insider added.

Watch Taylor Swift EMOTIONAL Reaction as she couldn’t hold her tears when she heard about Jason Kelce’s Retirement after bonding in Chiefs game and hoping to see him play next season.

Jason and Travis Kelce were seen sharing an emotional embrace after the Eagles star paid a heartbreaking tribute to his younger brother in his retirement speech.

Following 13 seasons in the NFL, during which he won a Super Bowl in Philadelphia and earned six first-team All-Pro nominations, the 36-year-old Eagles center called time on his career on Monday.

As emotional and tearful as he was in front of reporters during a press conference held by the Eagles, Jason said of the Chiefs tight end, who he lost to in Super Bowl LVII last year: ‘This is where its gonna go off the rails. I won’t forget falling short to the Chiefs and the conflicting feeling of the men’s heartbreak I had selfishly for myself and my teammates.

‘And at the same time, the amount of pride I had in my brother,’ he further pointed out, adding: ‘We have a small family. No cousins. One aunt and one uncle. It was really my brother and I our whole lives.

‘We did almost everything together. Competing, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other. We invented games, imagined ourselves as the star players of that time. We envisioned making the game winning plays, day after day, on Coolridge Road. We won countless Super Bowls in our minds before ever leaving the house.’

Having been raised in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, Jason recalled his kid brother’s impact early-on on his career, noting that without his support, he wouldn’t be often regarded as one of the greatest centers in NFL history. Travis shed a tear while his older brother announced his retirement.

Jason further said of his bond with his ‘lil’ bro”: ‘And when we weren’t playing, we were at the other’s one’ games. Butt seated in a long chair or bench, a Capri Sun in our hands that mom had packed, cheering during the game and waiting outside and afterward to celebrate a victory together. Or offer encouragement after a defeat.

Taylor Swift fans are convinced Jason Kelce’s tearful retirement speech was stacked with Swiftie-related Easter eggs just for them.

During the heartfelt announcement Monday afternoon, Kelce included two phrases that are also titles to Swift songs: “All Too Well” and “Wildest Dreams.”

He’s also retiring after his 13th season — Swift’s famously lucky number.

One NFL reporter even suggested that Kelce made eye contact with his brother Travis, who attended the news conference alongside the rest of the Kelce family, when he said “all too well.”

In the recent months since Travis and Swift’s relationship went public, the Kelce brothers have welcomed a surge of new fans into their corner.

When the Eagles’ season ended and Jason Kelce suggested to his teammates that retirement was looming, Swifties rushed to make fan edits, placing the lineman’s highlight reels and interview footage over Swift’s song, “Long Live.”

Swift, who is wrapping up the Singapore leg of her international Eras Tour, was not in attendance.

So how long until this new speech is turned into a fan edit? We’re betting the fans will be quick.

Taylor Swift sent a clear message in just five words, stating that she is definitely going to marry Travis Kelce because he means everything to her. The message was, “He’s my everything, forever love.”

I don’t think Taylor’s schedule is that bad, it’s basically just 3 weeks of touring with him being off 1 of those weeks, she’ll fly home in between, if they can’t handle that then what’s the point of all this.

Then she’s off until he’s done, she could even in theory make the Super Bowl if the Chiefs get that far despite being in Japan the night before.They are two secure midish-thirties adults with careers. They probably don’t need to be around each other all of the time, although I am sure it feels good to do so right now.

Some of the attention will die down eventually. It’s just a really nice love story in a time when there’s a lot of bad stuff in the media. I’ve seen people talk about how it almost makes them feel patriotic. You can’t get much more of a quintessential American romance than the football legend and the pop star, both with strong families, both self-made, both hotter than hell and into each other, treating each other with an almost old school sweetness in public.

It’s Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe. Its the American David and Victoria Beckham. It’s being idealized to an extreme, I’m sure. New love can be a beautiful, intoxicating thing, even for people just witnessing it.

They look happy. I hope they enjoy it and it works out. I don’t know enough about Swift to know if she is acting different than normal, but I’ve seen a different Kelce over the last few months.

Taylor Swift has been named Time’s Person of the Year for her achievements in music, touring, film, and even football throughout 2023.

“This is the proudest and happiest I’ve ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I’ve ever been,” the 33-year-old told the publication.

In an extensive profile for the magazine, charting Swift’s almost two-decade-long career, the Grammy winner recounts some of her biggest triumphs, including her internet-breaking Eras Tour this year and her eagerly embraced album re-releases. She also looks back on her public fallout with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in 2016, known as “Snake-gate.”

And the first time, she goes on the record about her highly publicized relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight ends Travis Kelce and the hysteria she’s created in the media. (She even pokes fun at the male football fans who are sick of seeing her at games.) Here are some of the cover story’s biggest takeaways.

She says her feud with Kim and Kanye was a “career death.”
“It’s not lost on me that the two great catalysts for this happening were two horrendous things that happened to me,” Swift says about her current global domination. “The first was getting canceled within an inch of my life and sanity. The second was having my life’s work taken away from me by someone who hates me.”

Swift doesn’t mince words about her 2016-2017 scandal involving Kanye West and, later, his now-ex-wife Kim Kardashian over his song “Famous.” Although, her claims that she was “canceled” over the incident are a bit dubious, if not easily disputable.

“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Swift tells Time. “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”

She says Reputation (Taylor’s Version) will be “fire.”
Speaking of which, Swifties have been anticipating the re-recording of Swift’s most polarizing album Reputation, inspired by her fallout with Kim and Kanye. The singer has yet to announce a release date, but she promises the vault tracks will be “fire.”

It’s a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure,” she says about the upcoming album. “I think a lot of people see it and they’re just like, ‘sick snakes and strobe lights.’”

She and Travis Kelce were officially a couple when she attended her first Chiefs game.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift reveals. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard-launch a first date.”

She says she doesn’t control the amount of camera time she receives during games.
“There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away,” the musician says. “And you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”

“I’m just there to support Travis,” she continues. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

She isn’t stressed about all the attention she’s receiving.
“Over the years, I’ve learned I don’t have the time or bandwidth to get pressed about things that don’t matter,” she says. “Yes, if I go out to dinner, there’s going to be a whole chaotic situation outside the restaurant. But I still want to go to dinner with my friends.”

“Life is short,” she continues. “Have adventures. Me locking myself away in my house for a lot of years—I’ll never get that time back. I’m more trusting now than I was six years ago.”

She doesn’t like being pitted against Beyoncé
“She’s the most precious gem of a person—warm and open and funny,” Swift says about the 32-time Grammy winner. “And she’s such a great disrupter of music-industry norms. She taught every artist how to flip the table and challenge archaic business practices.”

The musicians lit up social media when they attended each other’s concert film premieres this year and posed for photos together. According to the profile, it seems like that supportive gesture may have come out of frustration.

“There were so many stadium tours this summer, but the only ones that were compared were me and Beyoncé,” she adds. “Clearly it’s very lucrative for the media and stan culture to pit two women against each other, even when those two artists in question refuse to participate in that discussion.”

Taylor Swift thought Travis Kelce was hilarious before meeting him for the first time.

His sense of humor caught her attention before the 34-year-old singer went on to reach out to him and kick off their romance, according to Saturday Night Live star Ben Marshall.

Before meeting him, the superstar — who took barefaced photos with a lucky family in Sydney — said that she thought he was ‘funny’, he recalled on an episode of Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out podcast released on Monday.

‘We worked with both Taylor and Travis Kelce before they got together,’ he said, before joking that he and his comedy group Please Don’t Destroy are ‘a little bit’ responsible for getting them together.

He explained that he and his group had worked with Kelce last year when the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, made his hosting debut on the sketch comedy show in March 2023.

Marshall said that after his episode aired, Swift shared some of her initial thoughts about Kelce with the comedy group.

‘She kinda told us that she watched his SNL episode and saw him in our video and was like, “Oh, this guy seems funny”,’ he recalled.

‘So, like, a little bit [we] brought them together,’ he added.

The 14-time Grammy then famously went on to message Kelce for the first time when she learned that he previously tried and failed to give her his number on a friendship bracelet.

The 28-year-old comedian then admitted on the podcast that he did not tell the story before on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon because he was worried about the reaction of Swift’s loyal and devout fanbase.

He explained that the group was concerned if the relationship did not end up working out, they would be held responsible for Swift’s heartache.

‘I was thinking about like maybe [sharing that anecdote] on Fallon, and then we were like, “I think that if then they ever break up, we will be pinned for causing this disaster”,’ he explained.

‘It’s just a very precarious situation,’ he said. ‘Because people have such strong feelings.’

Travis Kelce asserts that nobody in this world has the authority to dictate whom he marries, not even his own mother. He firmly believes that neither haters nor his ex-girlfriend can sway his decision. He has chosen his partner, Taylor Swift, with conviction.

Yesterday, Travis Kelce expressed in an interview that is love for Taylor Swift surpass anything words can convey. He emphasize that he could not imagine leaving or separating from her.

Even if all my past girlfriends were against it, nothing can stop me from marry the woman I love and have choosen,

Taylor Swift.

She has s like a blessing from above, and we are destined to be together.

Spencer Jones is viewed as a potential game-changing building block for the New York Yankees’ future, and he was only drafted back in 2022. The former first-round pick has been thrust upon the hype train ever since.

While it sounds nice, it definitely makes life harder for prospects attempting to tune out the noise and focus on their development. When you’re compared to former MVP Aaron Judge, it’s understandable why expectations might take an unrealistic leap.

Heck, we’re surprised Jasson Dominguez has managed to get beyond the Mike Trout and Mickey Mantle parallels in the manner he has.

Perhaps Jones is on the same path, too, because he was recently asked about the Judge comps at Yankees camp. The former Vanderbilt star is 6-foot-6 and 235 pounds, a towering presence that can roam the outfield with impressive range.

Judge, a tad bigger at 6-foot-7 and 282 pounds, has made it easy for evaluators, insiders and media personalities to point out what we’d call “lazy” similarities. They’re both big, they hit for power, and they play the outfield! Would you look at that!

Jones hasn’t let him affect him, though. He’s focusing on becoming an original version of himself. Here’s what he told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com:

“From the day you were drafted [as a first-round pick in 2022], people started calling you ‘a left-handed Aaron Judge.’ What do you think of that comparison?” Hoch asked.

“It’s a cool comparison, but ultimately I want to become my own player and do the things that I know I do well,” Jones replied. “Obviously Aaron is one of the best in the game, and it’s humbling to be compared in that regard, but I’m just going to try to learn from him as much as possible and then do what I do best, which is play.”

Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones is not Aaron Judge. He’s Spencer Jones.

Jones has had himself an impressive spring so far leading some to wonder if that’ll expedite his path to the big leagues. But not so fast. He just reached Double-A at the end of last season and still has work to do cutting back on his strikeouts and displaying consistent contact.

Remember, even Dominguez’s insane spring performance last year didn’t earn him a promotion until September. Jones is on the right trajectory, he just needs to harness his skills a bit more before the hype can become official.

There’s a reason, despite hitting over .400 with pop, that he was reassigned to minor-league camp on Tuesday afternoon after ripping an opposite-field double against the Mets.

Even Judge logged 63 Double-A games and 154 Triple-A games before sniffing MLB action. Maybe that’s the one comparison worth making as Jones trailblazes his own path.

‘So that starts with just protecting my peace and you’re not just gonna talk to me any kind of way, you’re not saying anything else to me.

‘You can talk to a black hole — comments off. ‘

The model dated the four-time All-Pro tight end on-and-off from 2017 to 2022.

‘I posted this the other day, “All of this stuff that y’all say to me on the internet, you would never say to my face,”’ Nicole continued. ‘I promise you that. I’m a super kind person but do not ever play with me for real.

 

 

‘When it comes to the internet, I just learned that in the long run it’s a waste of my energy.’

During the podcast appearance she also spoke about her decision to post a candid open letter on Instagram addressing the backlash.

‘I was at a crossroads where I felt like unseen and unheard and I felt like everyone was kind of talking for me in one way or another,’ she said. ‘I was put in the middle of this, just social media s*** show of a situation and it was like I wanted to address things directly, but I knew that if I didn’t do it my way, on my terms and my own time that it was going to be spun into something else.

‘I’m so happy with what I did. I remember a point where I couldn’t sleep at night, I was so emotional … It was a buildup.

‘I needed to say something because at the end of the day … I was keeping the peace for everybody else, but what about the peace within me?

‘I think I handled it in the most appropriate way that I could. I got my point across and I feel like people that needed to hear that message heard it and I stand on it.’

Are Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole still dating?

That seems to be the question some fans are pondering, even after the “Strong Is Sexy” founder shut down a recent report claiming she cut ties with the Chiefs tight end because he allegedly made her “pay half of everything” in their five-year relationship.

 

 

“Not sure where y’all got this nonsense from, but it’s absurd and very falseThe Savage x Fenty ambassador was responding to a specific headline tweeted by Barstool Sports that read: “Travis Kelce’s Girlfriend Kayla Nicole Allegedly Broke Up With Him Because He Kept Making Her Pay Half of Everything In The Five Years They Were Dating.”

Kayla’s tweet did not confirm whether or not she and Kelce are broken up, which led fans to inquire about the status of their relationship. She went on to “like” a few tweets about false breakup rumors, but never divulged details about the situation. “He had been following me and insta-flirting for a few months,” Kayla, 30, wrote when asked how she met the 32-year-old Chiefs player. “All double taps and no dm. Soooo after a little liquid courage and a pep talk from @iqueenb (something along the lines of ‘WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR’) I dm’d him on New Years.

“Slid into that thang like it was third base, idk baseball so not sure that’s the best analogy, but ya,” she continued in a separate Instagram Story. “Anywho … lesson here is making the first move might be your best move sis.”

Watch: Jason Kelce daughter Wyatt reaction as dad cries announcing his retirement ” Daddy don’t cry “…

The 36-year-old Philadelphia Eagles center sobbed as he announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons on Monday.

“Not a good start,” he joked through tears, before detailing visceral memories of playing football as a kid, as well as the hardships he went through to make it as a professional athlete.

Kelce also took time to thank everyone who has helped him along the way, including his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, his brother, Travis Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, who were all holding back tears from the audience.

“There is no chance I would be here without the bond Travis and I share,” Jason said while remembering how he and his brother, who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, pushed each other over the years.

“It was really my brother and I our whole lives,” he said. “We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other. We invented games, imagine ourselves as star players of that time.

“We envisioned making winning plays day after day. We won countless Super Bowls in our minds before ever leaving the house. And when we weren’t playing we were at the other one’s games.”

The now-retired athlete continued to wipe away tears as he recalled meeting Kylie in a bar and how proud he is to now be the father of three daughters.

“This all brings us here to today where I announce I am retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles,” he said at the end of the speech. “And today I must admit I am officially overrated. Vastly overrated. It took a lot of hard work and determination getting here.”

“Thank you, Philadelphia, from the bottom of my heart,” he concluded. “It has truly been a privilege. You have all been good to me and my family … I don’t know what’s next but I look forward the new challenges and lessons that await.”

Jason was the Eagles’ sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, and he spent his entire career with the team.

He won a Super Bowl ring in 2018 and has seven Pro Bowls under his belt.

Jason memorably helped lead his team to the 2023 Super Bowl, which the Eagles lost to his brother Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, 38-35.

Speculation that Jason was hanging up his cleats first emerged in January after the Eagles’ season-ending loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He told his teammates in the locker room after the game that he was retiring, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“He has considered retiring after other recent seasons, but this time is said to be real and happening,” the sports reporter tweeted.

Jason was visibly upset following his team’s loss and even appeared to be crying when cameras cut to him on the sidelines.

“That looks like a man filled with emotion right now,” commentator Troy Aikman said during the broadcast.

He walked off the field toward his wife, Kylie, who stood in the front row with his father

Eagles player Lane Johnson also told reporters that Jason had “hinted” to teammates that 2023-24 was his final season.

“I love him. He’s one of the best to ever play the game,” Johnson said.

“The things he can do on the football field athletically — I don’t think we’ll see another one like him for a long time.”

In March 2023, the father of three announced his decision to “return for another year after talking it over with my wife and many other friends and family.”

“I have put much thought into whether it makes sense to play another season… Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t f–king done yet,” he tweeted at the time.

Jason and Kylie are parents to three girls: Wyatt Elizabeth, 4, Elliotte Ray, 2, and Bennett Llewellyn, 1.
