Taylor Swift and Donna Kelce are joining forces again to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs as the team takes on the Buffalo Bills Sunday.

Swift, 34, and Kelce, also 34, went public with their relationship in 2023 near the start of this NFL season, and since then the “Love Story” singer has regularly come to watch him play, sitting alongside his mother Donna, father Ed Kelce and other players’ family members and friends.

At Highmark Stadium on Jan. 21, Donna’s other son, Jason Kelce, and his wife Kylie Kelce showed up to support Travis, now that Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs on Jan. 15.

Donna, who was named one of PEOPLE’s 25 Most Intriguing People of the Year in December, said it’s been surreal getting to know Swift.

“It’s been a ride. That’s for sure,” Donna, 71, said in November. “Sometimes I feel I’m on some kind of a different planet. I’m like, ‘What has my life become?‘ ”

The retired banking executive and grandmother of three “likes Taylor and thinks she’s very sweet and down to earth,” a source close to the family told PEOPLE last year.

Last week, Swift and Donna braved the sub-freezing temperatures to see Kelce help lead Kansas City past the Miami Dolphins with seven catches for 71 yards.

Kelce led the Chiefs’ receiving core throughout the regular season with 984 yards on 93 catches. But it wasn’t Kelce’s performance on the field that got fans talking this season, as his budding romance with Swift became the talk of the league.

Announcers, players and even coaches from around the league all weighed in on Swift and Kelce’s relationship throughout the season – so much so that the league began to receive pushback for showing Swift so many times on camera every time the Chiefs played, at times from Kelce himself.

Kelce admitted he had “never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them” during an interview with WSJ Magazine.

“But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it,” he told the outlet. “The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life.”

The Chiefs tight end and his NFL brother, Jason Kelce, were on the cover of this week’s PEOPLE, and a source told the magazine that Kelce and Swift are “really happy and having a lot of fun together but they’re still seeing where it goes.”

“Fans have pointed out that one habit Taylor Swift seems to have is drinking alcohol in public celebrating Kansas City Chiefs’ victories by snapping pictures and enjoying a alcohol drink in public.”
It was a family reunion at Highmark Stadium Sunday night as Taylor Swift finally met Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend Travis Kelce’s brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie and the trio appeared to have warmed to one another.

With the Philadelphia Eagles out of the playoffs, Jason and Kylie headed to Orchard Park to cheer Travis on in his own game where they met up with the pop star.

And the meeting appeared to go well as Taylor was captured chatting with Jason, Kylie and the brothers’ mom Donna throughout the game
Following the Chiefs’ win, Taylor seemed to bond with Kylie, who has been married to the Eagles center since 2018, as they posed together.

The new photo which emerged Monday showed the Kelce WAGs with their arms wrapped around one another alongside Travis’s friend Aric Jon,The pair beamed for the camera with the songstress holding up her drink with her free hand to toast the win.

Kylie appeared to be repping Travis and Jason’s New Heights podcast as the logo could be seen in yellow on the front of her red t-shirt – the closest the lifelong Eagles fan will likely get to wearing Chiefs merchandise.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are going strong. As the pop superstar, 34, continues to support the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 34, at his games, a source tells PEOPLE exclusively the couple remain “really happy” together.

“They’re having a lot of fun, but they’re still seeing where it goes,” adds the source of the stars, who began dating shortly after Kelce revealed in late July on his New Heights podcast that he had tried to shoot his shot with Swift after her concert. Since attending her first game in September, Swift has been consistently cheering on her boyfriend alongside his loved ones, including mom Donna, dad Ed and Kelce’s longtime friends.

Last weekend she was seen interacting with fans at Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs beat the Dolphins 7-3 in below-zero temperatures. In a wide-ranging cover story with WSJ. Magazine, Kelce opened up about his relationship with Swift, acknowledging he’s “never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them.” “But at the same time, I’m not running away from any of it … The scrutiny she gets, how much she has a magnifying glass on her, every single day, paparazzi outside her house, outside every restaurant she goes to, after every flight she gets off, and she’s just living, enjoying life,” he told the outlet.

Speaking for the first time about their romance to Time in December, Swift similarly underscored their support for each another. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” said the Grammy winner. “The opposite of that is you have to go to the extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. We’re just proud of each other.”

Swift is currently on a break from her record-breaking Eras Tour and is set to return to the stage next month. In November Kelce flew to Buenos Aires during his bye week to cheer on his girlfriend at her show, where he was seen singing and dancing along to every song. After the show, the couple delighted fans when Swift ran into his arms for a romantic kiss after changing the lyrics to her song “Karma,” giving Kelce a shoutout: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been making headlines since they started their romantic journey last year. The singer has attended the majority of his games this season, including Sunday’s win.

Swift did not receive a particularly warm welcome to Orchard Park as the audience booed the Anti-Hero hitmaker upon her arrival. However, the songstress didn’t seem to mind as she was caught engrossed in the game from a suite alongside Kelce’s family.

Taylor Swift’s sweetheart is going to follow in his older brother Jason’s footsteps, claimed a former NFL sideline reporter.

Travis, who has been dating the pop superstar since the summer, attracted massive praise throughout the season as he helped lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs with two touchdowns Sunday.

But just hours before the divisional matchup, former NBC ‘Sunday Night Football’ sideline reporter Michele Tafoya suggested that this season could be Travis’s last, claiming: “I think Travis Kelce is retiring after this season like his brother.”

“I think there’s just a ton of motivation there for (the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl). … I think they’re highly motivated,” Tafoya said, during an interview with Marc Ryan of CBS Sports Radio.

decided to mix things up, instead singing: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”

Given that The Chiefs are Kelce’s team, fans were very quick to catch on to what she was getting at.

And given the lyrics saying ‘karma is my boyfriend’, could this even be a not so subtle way of putting a label on the budding relationship between the pair?Kelce decided to get into the festive spirit with his own rendition of the classic ‘Fairytale of New York’.

Typically the lyrics go as: “They’ve got cars big as bars. They’ve got rivers of gold.

“But the wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old

“When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve

“You promised me Broadway was waiting for me.”singing has been uploaded to X, formerly known as Twitter, and fans are loving it.

“Did he rhyme cars with bars? They truly are soulmates,” one person penned.

While a second added: “I really need them to record a song together like right now.”

There is no bad blood between Kylie Kelce and Taylor Swift—and if you need proof, just check out her most recent social media activity.

On Tuesday, Dec. 5, Jason Kelce’s wife, who shares three children with the Philadelphia Eagles center, posted a heartfelt video featuring their eldest daughter, Wyatt. The TikTok clip showed present-day Wyatt, 4, looking at a book while wearing an Eagles hoodie. It then switches to a similar clip of Wyatt “reading” a book as a baby while wearing a long-sleeved Eagles shirt.

Notably (and fittingly), Kyle chose Swift’s song “Never Grow Up” to play in the background of the sweet video.

The mom-of-three not-so-subtly responded to misleading headlines about her “avoiding” Swift in her TikTok caption, writing, “If you’re gonna try to make a headline out of this, you better offer a suggestion of a better audio…because there isn’t one. (Eagles gear was a happy accident.)”

In the comments, TikTok users loved the adorable video of Wyatt and Kylie’s song choice. They were also entertained by her snark.

One person wrote, “Kylie Kelce clapping back with the sweetest videos. What an icon. 😂.”

Another TikTok user pointed out, “OK but imagine growing up and your aunt is Taylor Swift? 😂”

Meanwhile, someone else commented, “Spicy Kylie is a whole mood and I’m here for it!”

Yet another person wrote, “Kylie is out-comms majoring all the tabloids with these iconic captions.”

Kylie’s message is seemingly in response to a misleading headline claiming she is “trying to avoid the Taylor Swift spotlight” because it’s not her “cup of tea.”

On Nov. 22, the NFL wife clarified her statement via TikTok. “I said it’s not my cup of tea to have attention on me,” she explained at the time. “I didn’t say that. That seems like a stretch to me. You’re reaching. You are reaching!”

What the NFL wife actually told Spectrum Sports KC was, “It’s not my cup of tea to be in the spotlight or in front of the camera.”

She continued: “But at the end of the day if it creates opportunities like this where we can leverage my network and figure out how to impact a community that has been so, so kind to the entire Kelce family,” she continued, “I’m so happy to be able to give back to Kansas City in this way.”

Kylie’s TikTok video featuring Swift’s song comes on the heels of her subtly supporting the pop star by liking a post about Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine, defending the singer.

He’s become one of the best quarterback in NFL history

Before the 2017 NFL Draft, Patrick Mahomes took an unconventional approach to showcase his worth to NFL teams. He penned a Cover Letter addressed to every franchise, articulating his fervent desire and determination to succeed at the highest level of football.

While the contents of the letter remain relatively undisclosed to the public, its significance lies in illuminating Mahomes’ unparalleled drive and conviction.

Mahomes’ cover letter

While the specifics of Mahomes‘ letter may remain veiled, its impact reverberates through his meteoric rise to become one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in NFL history.

“Dear NFL Coaches and General Managers,” read the letter that was published by The Players Tribune.

“For months now, I’ve been answering your questions to the best of my ability. Walking you through my game tape, reciting plays back to you and breaking down my decision-making process, from what time I go to bed to what I eat for breakfast every morning.

“You’ve watched me run and jump and lift weights and throw the ball as far as I can. You’ve wondered aloud if I can adjust to the speed of the pro game and adapt to the complexity of an NFL offense.

“All of those things are important and, for the most part, they all involve football in some way. But they’re still not quite football. They’re not the same as being out there in a game, in the huddle with my team.

“I will not whine or complain during the process. I won’t be a distraction, on or off the field.

“I will put in the hours to master your playbook. I won’t stop until I get everything right, down to the smallest detail.

“I may make mistakes along the way. And I won’t win every single game I play during my career. I won’t retire with a perfect passer rating or zero career interceptions. But I’ll try as hard as anybody.

“I’m ready to start the journey to a championship. And, more than anything else in the world, I’m ready to suit up and play some football. The sooner we can get to it, the better.

“Just wait until you see me in the huddle.”

Mahomes has gone on to become one of the finest quarterbacks in the NFL history. At the age of 28, he has already won three Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVPs and two NFL Most Valuable Player awards in 2018 and 2022.

Travis Kelce‘s love for country music may have helped him win her over

An old video Travis Kelce has resurfacedInstagram: killatrav

During the week of the 2024 NFL Combine, a video from the 2023 NFL Draft has resurfaced that exposes Travis Kelce for the lover boy and performer that he is.

The draft was held in Kansas City, where he would see his future girlfriend Taylor Swift at her Eras Tour just months later. He delivered a sultry performance of Josh Turner’s “Your Man” that would make Taylor swoon.

Josh Turner posts old video of Travis Kelce singing “Your Man”

Turner, the 46-year-old country singer, reposted the video of Kelce’s classic performance on social media with the caption, “Now we know how Travis Kelce REALLY caught Taylor Swift’s eye… #YourMan works every time.”

The video was from April 2023, three months before Kelce went to the now-famous Swift concert at Arrowhead Stadium. There is a good chance that Miss Americana saw the video of his “Your Man” cover before he in fact became her man.

“We need him to be a surprise guest on the eras tour to duet with Taylor,” said a Swiftie inspired by the video of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s performance on Twitter/X.

It certainly painted a better image of Travis as a country singer than his sloppy drunk rendition of Garth Brooks’ classic “Friends in Low Places” at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade.

Killa Trav may be in need of some of that trademark charm, because he recently broke a major rule in his relationship with Swift while continuing his Super Bowl celebrations with Patrick Mahomes in Las Vegas.

Football fans are calling for the Kansas City Chiefs to be investigated by the NFL over some rather suspicious activity.

During his appearance on “The Pivot Podcast”, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman admitted he was “checked out” during his short-lived tenure with the New York Jets. Hardman added that he spoke with Chiefs GM Brett Veach and quarterback Patrick Mahomes and told them to “come get me.”

Sure enough, the Chiefs wound up re-acquiring Hardman from the Jets in a trade involving a swap of late-round picks. Hardman helped the Chiefs defend their Super Bowl championship, catching the game-winning TD pass from Mahomes in overtime against the San Francisco 49ers.

As noted by Connor Hughes of SNY, Hardman’s story is a simple case of tampering. Hughes added that the Jets will likely ask the NFL to investigate and see if the Chiefs committed tampering here.

Fans are now ripping on the Chiefs and calling for the league to investigate and punish them over this suspicious activity…

Hardman later stated on X/Twitter that tampering was not committed, stating that he never spoke with the Chiefs before the trade:

After four seasons with the Chiefs, Hardman signed a one-year deal with the Jets in 2023 free agency. He was a non-factor on a struggling New York team and wound up getting traded back to KC, where Hardman won his third Super Bowl title.

A Kansas City Chiefs coach has claimed that Taylor Swift secretly attend some of the team’s games last season before her ongoing romance with Travis Kelce came into the public eye in the fall. 

Dave Merritt revealed during a recent episode of ‘The Sports Shop with Reese and K-Mac’ podcast that the songstress began showing her support for the team’s starting tight end before attending her first game in Kansas City in September.

‘When [Taylor] started to come around, it was privately,’ the Chiefs defensive backs coach said. ‘She was coming into the stadiums without people knowing until the camera put a big spotlight on it.’

Merritt, who’s been on the Chiefs since 2019, added that all players were supportive of the couple’s relationship from the get-go, despite that potentially meaning the team gaining more exposure than ever, and welcomed Swift into their inner circle straight away.

”There were so many people that were hating the fact that she was being shown on the TV that, you know what? You’re part of our family because you’re with Travis,’ he said.

‘So, therefore, you’re our little sister… You’re part of our family.’

Swift, who recently landed in Singapore after performing four times in Australia as part of her ‘Eras’ Tour, secretly started dating Kelce last summer, but didn’t show up at a Chiefs game until they faced the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24.

The ‘You Belong with Me’ hitmaker attended a total of 13 Chiefs games last season, including one in New York, and made out with her hunky beau after Kansas City beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game, last month.

They locked lips once more after Kelce earned his third Super Bowl ring on Feb. 11.

Kelce has been supportive of his girlfriend by showing up to her concerts in Sydney, Australia, last week, and in Argentina, last November.
