92 percenters are singing Travis Kelce’s praises.

After a resurfaced video of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end performing during a karaoke competition went viral on the social media platform Reddit, fans of the NFL star have come to his defense.

 

 

 

The conversation unraveled earlier this afternoon in the forum dedicated to the podcast he co-hosts with his older brother, Jason Kelce, New Heights. It began with the original poster (OP) exclaiming, “Who ever [sic] told Travis that he can’t sing? This man can saaaannggg!” alongside a link to the video in question.

For Kelce’s “surprisingly good” performance, he belted out the tune “Keep Your Hands to Yourself” by The Georgia Satellites while at the American Century Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe back in July 2022.

Hours after the clip was uploaded to R/NewHeights, hundreds of Redditors upvoted it and shared how impressed they were by the 34-year-old’s singing capabilities in the comments.

“this was… surprisingly good ,” one wrote, to which OP replied, “Right?! That song sounds like it’s easy to sing, but it’s not! And he totally pulled it off.”

“Much better when he hasn’t downed a bottle of Don Julio and at least a 12 pack of beer,” another quipped, likely referring to his drunken rendition of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places,” which he performed onstage at the Super Bowl Championship parade.

A third joked, “Taylor saw this video and was like he’s mine.”

While someone else begged Travis’ girlfriend Taylor Swift to bring him up on stage for a duet during the Aussie leg of her Eras Tour, “Can we get him on stage in Sydney for a duet?”

And it’s not just the 92 percenters that believe Kelce has some chords on him, but the judges at the event who awarded him his second karaoke title shortly after the rest of the contestants took the stage.

However, none of this really shouldn’t come as any surprise as, like athleticism, the arts must run strong in the Kelce family blood as Jason, along with several of his Eagles teammates, record a charitable Christmas album every year, and this past year, it even featured Travis.

 

The Chiefs tight end just scored a $6 million Kansas City mansion after Swifties allegedly began flocking to his former abode, according to TMZ. The 34-year-old was reportedly uneasy with how accessible his former home was to fans and paparazzi,

so he bought his own fortress of solitude in a gated community in Leawood to hopefully shake them off. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the NFL star paid for the pad in all cash. Perhaps he’s picked up a thing or two from his real estate mogul-slash-musician girlfriend.

 

The athlete’s swanky estate measures nearly 17,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms and six bathrooms. According to the listing, the three-acre spread was originally built in 1998 and has undergone a massive renovation thanks to Wolfgang Trost Architects and builder Harry Roth.

 

 

The current house has tons of sporty amenities like a lighted tennis and pickleball court, a mini golf course and a practice green, plus a swimming pool. There’s also a waterfall, wine cellar, and a garage where the Ohio native will presumably store his 1970 Chevelle 408 Stroker convertible—the now famous getaway car.

 

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes had another reason to celebrate over the weekend as the couple marked daughter Sterling Skye’s third birthday with an extravagant butterfly-themed ‘Tea for Three’ party at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden.

 

In video posted on Instagram, the reigning Super Bowl MVP’s eldest laughs and plays with other young children aboard a series of slides, Merry Go Rounds and an inflatable bounce house. Young Sterling is also seen sipping from a teacup, but it’s impossible to say if she was drinking Earl Grey, English breakfast, Darjeeling, or something a bit more age appropriate.

‘We celebrated our Sterling Skye today!’ Brittany wrote in her Sunday Instagram post. ‘I can’t even believe we will have a 3 year old in just a few days! Time flies when you’re having fun! We love you baby girl.’

Pricing the party is difficult without knowing the exact number of guests, but the a tea service at the Arboretum runs about $60 a head – and that’s without the accompanying birthday party festivities.

The Mahomes family returned to their native Dallas for the party following last week’s shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally, where one woman was killed and at least 22 were injured. Since then, all of the surviving victims have been released from the hospital. Two teenagers have been charged as minors in the shooting.

The couple visited shooting victims at the hospital prior to their release.

Patrick and Brittany met in high school, where she was a star soccer player and he excelled at football, basketball and, like his father Patrick Sr., baseball.

Ultimately Patrick Jr. opted to stick with football, and has since won three Super Bowls and three Super Bowl MVP awards. He’s also a two-time NFL Most Valuable player and six-time Pro Bowl selection.

In addition to three-year-old Sterling Skye, the couple also has a son, Patrick ‘Bronze’ Lavon Mahomes III, who was born in November of 2022.

In addition to the recent festivities, the family has also endured another drunk-driving arrest by Patrick Sr. in recent weeks.

In the week before the Super Bowl, the former MLB relief pitcher was arrested in Smith County, Texas on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. It is at least his third arrest for allege drunk-driving, and could be facing a felony sentence of up to 10 years if he is convicted.

Patrick Jr. said his father was ‘doing good’ after his arrest, but declined to speak further.

‘It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,’ Mahomes said at Super Bowl opening night. ‘That’s all I have to say.’

 

A viral TikTok video with 14 million views claims to show proof that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are faking their relationship.

 

Yes, we are still doing this.

Remember that night in the club after Super Bowl 58 when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were caught on camera and it appeared as though the Chiefs’ tight end was smoking something? Candace Owens does.

Well, more footage from that night in the club has surfaced and made its way to TikTok.

In this clip, according to a few million internet sleuths, Travis Kelce appears to notice that the camera is on him so he puts on his sunglasses, leans over to whisper something in Taylor Swift’s ear, and begins acting like he’s having the time of his life. (Just ignore the fact that there is literally a camera being held directly behind him the entire time the video plays).

“You can’t convince me that this is [real],” read a caption on the video posted by TikToker @swiftieblues.

“Travis: Oh s— it’s time to film,” they then added to the screen as he puts on his shades, followed by, “Travis whispers: get ready they’re filming.”

 

 

 

But does he really say that to T-Swizzle? Thousands of TikTok commenters can’t be wrong! Can they?!

“100000% this is a PR relationship,” read one comment.

“It’s definitely orchestrated,” another viewer wrote.

“At first I thought they were cute,” read another, “but then I saw footage of him and Kayla and I realized that he and Taylor had no chemistry.”

“She’s never been this open about any of her other relationships,” someone else claimed. “It’s like the overacting she does in her music videos. All staged for PR.”

RadarOnline.com, which also shared the video, reminded their readers that back in September they reported, “Travis Kelce’s friends are baffled the football star is romantically linked to Taylor Swift. Sources close to the hunky Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 33, tell RadarOnline.com that they were ‘shocked’ to hear the news.”

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce is currently on his way to see Taylor Swift perform in Australia as Page Six reports he jumped on a private jet on Wednesday to catch her first Eras Tour show in Sydney.

All part of the plan.

Taylor Swift is believed to be staying in the presidential villa at the five-star Crown Towers hotel in Melbourne, Australia, for the latest stop on her Eras Tour.

The “Cruel Summer” singer arrived Down Under Wednesday and is said to be living her best life at the luxurious $16,000-per-night penthouse suite.

The 11,733-square-foot villa includes two bedrooms, a dining room, a living room, a private elevator and even a dedicated butler.

The suite features two bedrooms, a dining area, a private elevator and a butler.

The primary bedroom has a king-size bed, a walk-in closet, a marble bathroom with a spa bath and a rain shower.

Meanwhile, the second bedroom features two queen beds and a marble ensuite bathroom.

When she’s not relaxing in her king bed, Swift can grab a bite to eat in the dining room, which boasts a mahogany table fit for six guests and a cocktail bar –– in case she wants to chug a beer.

The suite can accommodate up to six guests.

The dining area is connected to the living room, which has several comfy couches and chairs and offers stunning views of the Australian city.

Swift, 34, has not been spotted entering or exiting the stunning hotel, but the property is just a 10-minute drive to the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where she will perform for three consecutive nights beginning Friday.

The 14-time Grammy winner flew in via her private jet and was greeted by fans when she arrived Wednesday.

The Grammy winner can enjoy stunning views of the Australian city.

Swift has not yet been spotted at the property.

Swift has had a jam-packed February so far, as she spent the first week singing her heart out in Tokyo with four back-to-back shows before booking it to Las Vegas to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play in the 2024 Super Bowl.

The “Love Story” singer got to see her tight end beau defeat the San Francisco 49ers and take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the second year in a row.

Swift showed how proud she was of Kelce, also 34, by rushing onto the field after Sunday’s game, packing on the PDA and telling him how “unbelievable” he was.

Swift and Kelce celebrated the win together by partying with fellow Chiefs players, her friends and her parents later that night.

Given the pop star has attended most of the NFL player’s games since September, many fans have been wondering whether he will cheer her on during the international leg of her blockbuster tour.

The “Anti-Hero” singer will host three concerts in Melbourne beginning Friday.

Swift touched down in Australia after watching her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, win the 2024 Super Bowl.

Kelce has only attended one show so far — in Argentina last November.

However, the footballer may be taking some time to lay low after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, Mo., on Wednesday took a tragic turn when more than 20 people were shot and one person was killed.

Swift was not in attendance at the event, but she donated $100,000 to the family of the woman who died.

Eagle-eyed Taylor Swift fans have unearthed one of Travis Kelce‘s old posts about his love for the zoo – exactly six years to the day from their visit to a wildlife park in Australia.

Kelce jetted out to Sydney this week to join Swift on the latest leg of her Eras Tour, where she is performing four shows from Friday through to Monday.

On the eve of the first gig, the pop megastar and her boyfriend were seen enjoying a date at Sydney Zoo, where they got up close and personal with some of the country’s most iconic animals on Thursday.

And after the couple were spotted appreciating Australia’s wildlife, one of Kelce’s old tweets about not being able to ‘resist a good zoo’ has gone viral.

Back in 2018, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end responded to a fan from Omaha on X – formerly Twitter – about potentially visiting one of the Nebraskan city’s zoos.

Swift’s legion of die-hard fans found the post after the couple were spotted at a zoo in Australia – before realizing Kelce wrote it on the exact same day

He wrote: ‘You’re good people too man, and I can’t resist a good Zoo! Haha’.

Swift’s legion of die-hard fans were quick to find that old post amid his trip to the zoo with the singer and songwriter – before realizing that he wrote it on the exact same day (February 22) six years ago.

‘Exactly six years later is INSANE,’ one user said.

‘He manifested for everything years ago,’ commented another.

‘Taylor’s got a song for everything and Travis has a tweet for everything. Soulmates lol,’ joked a third.

‘His manifestation,’ wrote a fourth along with a 100 emoji.

While one simply put: ‘Haaa they just keep giving’.

Before their day at the zoo, Kelce was seen admiring Sydney’s landmarks from the presidential villa, which typically costs AUD $25,000 per night.

The Chiefs star has made the effort to visit Swift in Australia after she embarked on a mad 5,000-mile rush from Tokyo to Las Vegas to watch him play in the Super Bowl earlier this month.

A number of users were left in disbelief at the coincidence, while some even claimed Kelce ‘manifested’ his date with Swift Down Under

They then partied the night away following Kansas City’s thrilling 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers, where they were joined by Travis’ brother Jason.

Swift then had to complete a near 8,000-mile journey from Vegas to Melbourne for the first batch of her concerts Down Under, meaning she travelled over 13,000 miles within the space of a week.

She was greeted in Australia by $14,000 worth of Valentine’s Day gifts from Kelce, who splashed out on 250 ‘Eternity’ roses at a cost of $2,100, along with a $5,000 hand-bag.

Taylor Swift‘s first Sydney concert got off to a late start on Friday night after storms and rain caused Accor stadium to be temporarily evacuated.

Despite the set for support act Sabrina Carpenter being cancelled, Swift finally took the stage a little over 20 minutes after the scheduled start time of 7.30pm.

Proudly watching on was her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who caused a roar from the crowd as he arrived to proudly view his pop star lover do what she does best.

In videos shared to social media, the NFL star was seen strolling into the stadium before finding his seat at a special VIP box.

The footballer could not wipe the smile off his face as Taylor worked the stage in one of her iconic sparkling leotards.

Travis opted for a smart shirt in blue patterns and matching shorts as well as a pair of white sneakers.

Most notably, he had on a friendship bracelet from Taylor, which her fans are also known for wearing.

He had walked through the crowd applauding him before being led to his VIP seat, where he was seen beaming as he watched Taylor perform.

Other famous faces in the crowd included Katy Perry and Rita Ora, who took in the show together.

Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison proved he was a Swiftie when he was seen in the crowd alongside his two young daughters.

Taylor Swift just wrapped up night one of her Eras Tour in Sydney, Australia, and several things happened:

 

 

TRAVIS KELCE WAS THERE
He showed up in a 1989 coded fit with a wrist packed full of friendship bracelets.

Katy Perry Danced to “Bad Blood”
As one person on Twitter put it, “Taylor singing bad blood in front of Katy Perry in 2024 wasn’t on my bingo card.”

Taylor Announced a New Bonus Track!
It’s called “The Albatross” and fans already think it’s about Joe Alwyn.

But on top of all ^ that ^, Taylor Swift performed “Karma” at the end of her show and went ahead and changed the lyrics to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me.”

Which, as you might remember, is not her first time doing this. She also surprised Travis with the lyrical change back in November:

And his face was literally:

ANYWAY, after singing “Karma” and causing our hearts to collectively melt, Taylor reunited with Travis as soon as she walked off stage—by which I mean she ran into his arms for a hug and a kiss that was caught on camera by fans:

Travis flew in to see Taylor in Sydney on Tuesday, and it’s unclear how long he’s going to be in town but she does have 3 more shows at Accor Stadium so….chances are we could get more cute moments like these. After Sydney, Taylor is heading to Singapore—and Travis’ dad Ed Kelce implied Trav would be there. “Well, look, we spoke after the Super Bowl, and I asked him, are you going to take off for Sydney, and he seemed keen,” Ed said, via Us Weekly. “He said he’d really like to see Sydney and Singapore, but he wasn’t sure because he has commitments.”

The couple are also expected to travel in Europe together later this year, at least according to a People source who said Taylor and Travis are “making plans for the summer and are excited to travel together in Europe when Taylor takes her tour there.”

Travis has been a fan of Taylor Swift for a while now … dancing to her hits, making friendship bracelets and talking about wanting to kiss her over the years.

 

 

One of the first times Travis publicly talked about Tay Tay was back in 2016 … when he played “Kiss, Marry, Kill” during an interview — ya see where this is going.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was given the choice between Taylor, Ariana Grande, and Katy Perry. Taylor didn’t get the axe — RIP Ari — but instead was chosen for a smooch … while KP was granted the long-term option.

Travis was also seen groovin’ along to a remix of her 2008 track, “Love Story,” this past February. He even traded his black shades for a fan’s pink ones while he kept the dancing going.

He took a page out of Taylor’s book in July, making friendship bracelets for the guys at this year’s Tight End University, which he founded in 2021 with his fellow NFL stars George Kittle and Greg Olsen.

Travis went to her “Eras” tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium — his home turf — that same month … and said he was “butt hurt” that he wasn’t able to give a bracelet to her while she was in the building.

He also talked about her last month, which might be the most revealing sign yet — the Chiefs were all talking about who their celebrity crush was growing up … and as Travis was thinking, his teammate, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, answered for him.
