Travis Kelce Taylor Swift’s relationship is going from strength to strength but an old clip has since resurfaced which some think may jeopardise their union

Since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship became public in September the NFL and showbiz worlds have been buzzing with excitement. The singer’s loyal fanbase called the “Swifties’ has shown plenty of love to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and she has attended several games to cheer him on.

But as their union continues to blossom in front of the entire world, some fans believe their partnership may be thrown into jeopardy due to Kelce’s actions in a clip from 2018. The video recently resurfaced on social media, which shows the eight-time All-Pro player pulling down his pants in response to trash talk from rival fans.

The Chiefs were up against the then Oakland Raiders and Kelce was on the sideline ready to enter the game when the opposing fans heckled him. The timing of the clip returning to social media is no coincidence as the Chiefs will host the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day.

While referencing sports commentator Joe Buck, Barstool Sports posted the clip with the caption: “Nobody show this DISGUSTING ACT to Joe Buck @BussinWTB.” In response to the video, concerned for the couple’s relationship one fan said: “Taylor Swift is going to break up with him over this,” one fan wrote on social media.

Another added: “That’s what he does for Taylor when he gets home,” while this user posted: “Haha, that’s definitely not something you see every day! But hey, to each their own!” Despite the concerns some fans have after seeing the clip, Swift and Kelce look stronger than ever, and the couple plan to spend their Christmas holidays together.

Swift is set to attend the Chiefs’ games on Christmas Day against the Raiders and when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year’s Eve. The Chiefs got back to winning ways after defeating the New England Patriots 27-17 on Sunday at Gilette Stadium.

The defending champions will be aiming for a strong end to the regular season with just three games remaining as they hunt for the AFC’s top playoff seed. The Chiefs have hosted the AFC title game in each of the last five seasons and won two Super Bowls in three attempts, including last year’s triumph.

Kelce will not have his mother in the crowd watching him play over the festive period, as she has chosen to spend it in Philadelphia watching his older daughter Jason play for the Philadelphia Eagles. But during a conversation with People Magazine, Donna Kelce confirmed she will be at Lincoln Financial Field to watch the Super Bowl runners-up host the New York Giants on Dec. 25.

“I will be in Philadelphia for Christmas, spending time with my grandkids as we cheer on their dad,” she said. “I understand that it’s part of the job (holiday games). I embrace the holiday games and enjoy the special days with our football family.”

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole has explained why she turned her DMs off on social media during an appearance on the ‘Behind the Likes’ podcast.

Nicole had been unnecessarily dragged into countless headlines and became the topic of multiple online discussions after Kelce began dating Taylor Swift.

‘I turned off my comments recently,’ Kayla said after being asked how she deals with criticism.

‘You can’t DM me anymore … because people just talk crazy and I’ve had enough.

‘I’m exhausted, I’m tired. It’s a new year and, to be honest, it’s the same me. So in order for it to be a new me, I need to do some new things.

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.’

Ella Piazza made a sign before the Bills-Chiefs game on Sunday and said she was “thinking positive” before the game that she would meet the superstar.

 

In her wildest dreams, Ella Piazza believed she would meet Taylor Swift.

The 8-year-old Penfield, New York girl — who went viral after a shirtless Jason Kelce helped her wave at the superstar during Sunday’s Bills-Chiefs playoff game — said that she manifested the moment the week before it happened.

“I was thinking positive, but some of my friends weren’t that positive,” Piazza said on the Today show Tuesday.

Yet the opportunity almost didn’t happen.

Ella and her mom, Jessica Piazza, were sitting on the opposite side of Highmark Stadium from where Swift, Kelce family members and their friends were watching the game. But Jessica’s friend — who was sitting in the section under the suite — suggested they switch spots at halftime, the mother said on Today.

With a handmade sign that read “Buffalo Bills + Taylor Swift – Best First Game Ever” in tow, the mother and daughter changed their seats.

“It was halftime and a lot of people had left their seats to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever, and so we just tried climbing up higher and higher,” Jessica recalled. “It was really Ella who was forging the path. When people saw her sign, everyone started helping her. It was really cute.”

That’s when the shirtless Philadelphia Eagles center decided to hop into the stands and spotted the third-grader.

“Then [he] came over here and then he picked me up and then I saw Taylor,” Ella said. “It was, like, amazing.”

The NFL star, 36, held her her so that the “Anti-Hero” singer, seated in the suite, could read her sign.

Ella, who was clad in Bills colors, waved to Swift, and then she and the Eagles star posed for a picture.

“He was so kind to her,” Jessica said about Kelce, who shares three girls with his wife Kylie. “I was just so thankful that he gave her the chance to see Taylor because she was — she was standing up there at the top of the bleachers with her sign just waiting and hoping and so brave — she climbed all the way to the top.”

After the experience, the longtime Bills fan described her daughter as being in “absolute heaven” and “the happiest I’ve ever seen her.”

Here is the Interview Video:

 

“She still probably doesn’t realize what a big star Jason Kelce also is. She just couldn’t believe she saw Taylor! The rest of the game she was on cloud nine.”
Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs went on to beat the Buffalo Bills 27-24, securing them a spot in the AFC Championship where they’ll face the Baltimore Ravens for the chance to compete at Super Bowl LVIII.

Baltimore’s elderly citizens are clearly eager for Taylor Swift to visit the city on Sunday as they gave the popstar a premature welcome.

 

The Ravens host Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday in the AFC Championship as they face off for a place in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

The songstress has cheered on her NFL beau and the reigning Super Bowl champions at several of their games this season, including last week’s win against the Buffalo Bills in frigid Orchard Park.

And the citizens of Baltimore are clearly hoping the 12-time Grammy Award winner will make the trip to M&T Bank Stadium Sunday.

Brightview White Marsh, a senior assisted living facility in the Baltimore area, shared a TikTok Wednesday of its elderly residents welcoming Swift to the city and sharing their recommendations with her.

The heartwarming clip opens with her hit ‘…Are You Ready for it?’ playing in the background, while an elderly gentleman declares, ‘Taylor Swift, welcome to our great city of Baltimore! There is much for you to see and do and while you’re here we hope you enjoy yourself immensely.’

 

 

 

However, while he encourages the singer to have an entertaining time, the man, dressed smartly in a Ravens cap and polo shirt, hopes her boyfriend and his teammates’ visit to Baltimore isn’t so fun.

‘We have one more thing to say to you, go Ravens,’ he jokingly adds.

Other residents then chime in with their recommendations for tourist attractions, including a trip to the aquarium and a stroll around Inner Harbor.

Meanwhile, others, one of whom wore a Swiftie friendship bracelet, encourage the global superstar to sample to local cuisine, urging her to try the crab cakes at Jimmy Seafood, to grab a Berger cookie and, if she arrives in time before the game, to visit Miss Shirley’s for breakfast.

One lady insists the Anti-Hero hitmaker must make a swift return to the city with Baltimore offering more than football in its sporting scene.

She insists Swift must make another trip to Baltimore to watch the city’s MLB team, the Orioles, play and Camden Yards with the 2024 season just over two months away.

The video ends with a staff member insisting that Swift ‘must visit Brightview White Marsh,’ before the camera panned across the living room area to show its many residents cheering and waving Baltimore-purple pompoms.

However, it’s not yet clear if the Love Story singer will be making the trip down to Baltimore for the Chiefs sixth-straight AFC Championship game.

Although she has attended most of the Chiefs games in the run off to the playoffs and their two postseason matchups so far, her Eras Tour is set to restart in just a couple of weeks.

Swift hits the road again to begin the international leg of her sold-out show, starting with four dates in Tokyo, Japan.

She kickstarts the stint in the Japanese capital on February 7, playing four shows and finishing the day before the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.

If the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl on February 11 she might have to make a mad dash from Tokyo, where she will have just played her first shows on 2024, to the west coast to cheer Kelce on.

She will then play shows in Australia, Singapore and in the summer, will spend four months touring Europe.

And according to reports last week, Kelce has made some grand plans for Europe – with much of swift’s tour coinciding with his football offseason.

The 34-year-old has apparently booked trips to vineyards in Italy and tables for dinners at some of Europe’s finest restaurants for the couple to enjoy during her days off.

The latest that Kelce’s season will run to is February 11 with the Super Bowl, with teams then tending to report back for preseason in early August. However, it was reported earlier this week that the tight end could join his brother Jason and retire at the end of this season.

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.

On the latest episode of the New Heights Podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce faced shock and embarrassment when he realized that he had a serious wardrobe malfunction.

 

It’s okay Travis, we have all been there. Just maybe not live while recording a highly anticipated episode of a chart-topping podcast.

 

Travis Kelce sweats through his shirt
Older brother Jason, who also made headlines for ditching his shirt during a live broadcast recently, had plenty of jokes for the Kansas City Chiefs star.

“I don’t know if that’s dehydrated. I think you’re over hydrated!” he joked, critiquing his brother’s “risky” choice of a gray shirt that resulted in appalling pit stains.

“What you got the thermostat set at over there?”

 

Kelces trade stories from Buffalo
Once Travis had found something fresh to wear, the two were able to move on and discuss all the hullabaloo surrounding their shared experience at the Chiefs playoff win over the Bills.

Jason detailed the backstory with his wife Kylie Kelce before his viral moment, while Travis informed listeners what Taylor Swift thought of Jason’s antics.

Patrick Mahomes says Travis Kelce is the friend he’s always known.

 

Mahomes, 28, told reporters on Wednesday that Kelce, 34, hasn’t let any attention or fame get to his head.

“Travis has always been Travis,” the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback said of his teammate, reports NBC Sports. “He’s still Travis Kelce.”

“He still will walk through the stadium and treat every single person like they’re his best friend. And he’s going to be like that in the locker room every single day.”

Despite Kelce’s new romance with popstar Taylor Swift, his recent Saturday Night Live hosting gig in March 2023, and a cameo in October, Mahomes explained that the tight end has “just been himself the whole time.”

The two-time Super Bowl MVP told reporters that he was especially happy for his teammate when he hosted SNL. “It was really, really cool,” Mahomes said. “It was a dream of his.”

Kelce has been a fan of the variety show and quoted the series’ sketches in the locker room “for years,” Mahomes said, adding that Kelce has told him to watch sketches for a while.

“He was telling me the ones from before I was even born,” Mahomes told reporters. “I was like, ‘Trav, I’m not the same age as you, I don’t even know who that is.’”

Mahomes then proposed the possibility that Kelce could “do more of that type of stuff after he’s done playing football.”

Mahomes previously praised Swift, 34, and her relationship with Kelce. In an interview with CBS Mornings, he revealed that when Swift and Kelce first began dating, “everybody stayed away” and “just let [Kelce] do what he was doing.”

“Then, he started bringing Taylor around, and he realized how cool of a person she was, and she is, and so for us, there were a couple of jokes here and there at the beginning,” admitted Mahomes.

But now, “She’s just part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he said. “And she’s part of the team.”

“She’s top-tier at her profession, and to see how she drives and she becomes that — Dude, it’s really cool to hear about and to see, and now I have a first-hand look at that through Brittany and Travis’ eyes,” added Mahomes.

Mahomes, Kelce and the Chiefs play the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on CBS.

An old yearbook photo of Kylie Kelce, wife of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, has gone viral online.

 

The couple originally met on Tinder and after two years of dating, they married in April 2018. Kylie Kelce has become a popular figure among NFL fans after multiple appearances on the New Heights podcast, which is hosted by her husband and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. While on the show she has told amusing stories about Jason Kelce abandoning her on the slopes when she had no experience skiing, and about him leaving her hanging when he spotted a shark in the water while paddle boarding.

Years before the pair met on the dating app, Kylie Kelce attended Lower Marion High School in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Now, a former fellow pupil has taken to X, formerly Twitter, to share a snap of their yearbook photo.

“Kylie Kelce and I went to the same high school, yet somehow she ended up in a box with Taylor Swift while I ordered DoorDash and watched them on TV,” Erin, who goes by @swiftbunnies on X, wrote. She was referencing the fact that during the Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Kylie Kelce and Swift were both seen in the VIP box, cheering Travis Kelce on.

At the time of writing, the post had been viewed 3.3 million times.

 

 

 

Erin continued: “But good for her and good for me (the food delivery was [fire emoji])! Kobe Bryant also went to my high school. Legends only (I type as I finish my cold leftovers in sweatpants).

“Kobe and Kylie were both athletes. I was in the film club and wrote an article for the school newspaper. All equally cool, am I right?

“P.S.: This is pure, harmless self-deprecation. Sarcasm. And a nod to how amazing (yet different) Kylie’s and my Sunday evenings were. We are two Philadelphia queens who have great lives and I will not tolerate any slander toward anyone. We celebrate the Kelces in this house!”

Newsweek contacted Kylie Kelce via the New Heights podcast email and Erin via X for comment on Wednesday.

Elsewhere in the comments of her post, Erin explained that she didn’t know Kylie Kelce personally but it was “just a fun connection through the school.”

She added: “Although, I’m not personally connected to Kylie; we just have the same school in common. And if she and I were personally connected, I wouldn’t be exploiting it.”

People took the opportunity to share their shock at the fact that they thought Kylie Kelce’s appearance hadn’t changed since high school.

“She hasn’t aged a day,” one person wrote.

How does she look the same???” someone else asked.

A third person added: “She is beautiful now and back then.”

In the Kelce documentary on Amazon Prime, Kylie Kelce revealed that when she came across Jason Kelce’s Tinder profile, she didn’t immediately realize he was an NFL player. “None of his pictures showed Eagles football,” she said.

Jason Kelce recalled the first time they met, describing his feelings as “very much like love at first sight.” He said in the documentary: “Right away when she walks in the door, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,”

The date didn’t last long, however, as Kylie Kelce explained: “Forty-five minutes later, he fell asleep at the bar, like just, out, like asleep, asleep. The next day, he called and was like, can we try that again?”

Kylie Kelce said he “did much better” impressing her on their next date—and they’ve been together ever since. They share three daughters: Wyatt Elizabeth, Elliotte Ray and Bennett Llewellyn.

It’s not always sunny in Philadelphia for Rob McElhenney — he lost out in a bidding war for the coveted, limited edition autographed Eagles letterman jacket!

The kelly green varsity jacket, which has regal connections, was sold for $100,000 last Friday in an auction benefiting the NFL team’s Autism Foundation, according to the Philly Voice.

The winner, whose name was not revealed, outbid the 46-year-old actor by more than $30,000.

McElhenney initially bid $10,050 on the iconic outerwear, which was signed (and modeled) by Eagles center Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie.

The photos first debuted on the Eagles’ Instagram page, with the mother of three smiling while wearing the iconic outerwear. And in the comments, Jason’s little brother Travis Kelce endorsed the look.

“🗣️Killin it Ky!! 🔥🔥” Travis, 34, wrote.

Earlier this month, Jason and Travis discussed the jacket on their podcast and shared their excitement at McElhenney’s interest in the jacket.

McElhenney, 46, shared a video of Jason and Travis discussing the bids for the jacket on their podcast, noting that the actor had placed the highest bid at one point at $10,050. However, Jason noted that the bid was updated to $20,000.

The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star tweeted at the brothers above the clip, “You better hit refresh @JasonKelce and @tkelce :).”

Jason then responded on X, “Dude I’m trying, I think you crashed the site!!,” alongside a GIF with the words “What’d you do??”

The Wrexham FC co-owner eventually upped his bid to $62,000 to honor Jason’s jersey number, 62, before losing out on the item.

The throwback piece, which retails for $400 and is made by Philly-based sports clothing company Mitchell & Ness, features gray and white accents with the team’s old-school logo and mascot on the back.

The jacket once also had the approval of another famous face — Princess Diana.

The late Princess of Wales was frequently photographed wearing the jacket, and made a fashion statement with it on the June 1994 cover of PEOPLE.

Jason Kelce Gets Excited as Rob McElhenney Places $35K Bid for Eagles Jacket Signed by Kylie Kelce
The Princess of Wales first received the jacket from the Eagles’ statistician Jack Edelstein after they connected at the funeral for Princess Grace of Monaco in 1982. Before she became a movie star and married Prince Rainier, Grace Kelly was a Philadelphia native and family friend of Edelstein.

Unsigned versions of the jacket were previously on sale at the Eagles Pro Shop, Mitchell & Ness and Fanatics, and now can be found online on other auction sites.
