Month: February 2024

This days-old healthy girl in Brazil may just be the youngest Swiftie known to date.

 

Maria Flor was welcomed to the world just hours after her mother, Maria Mendes, 24, fell ill moments before Taylor Swift was set to take the stage in Rio de Janeiro last Saturday night.

Mendes told online news outlet G1 that she had been waiting several years to watch her favorite artist in concert and had purchased the singer’s Eras Tour tickets at the last minute.

She felt some pain the morning of the concert and thought it was just cramps that she was feeling from her menstrual cycle, and decided she was fit enough to attend the show.

‘It was a pain that came and went, but it didn’t cross my mind that it was a pregnancy contraction,’ Mendes explained.

‘I stayed from 10 am until the gate opened, waiting and hoping that the pain would go away soon, as it was close to the show.’

Maria Mendes was not aware she was about 40 weeks pregnant and went into labor at a Taylor Swift concert in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. She gave birth to a girl, who she named Maria Flor, despite efforts from hospital staff who suggested the singer’s name

Maria Flor could be the youngest Swiftie – she was born moments after her 24-year-old mother Maria Mendes went into labor at the concert venue before Taylor Swift took the stage for her Eras Tour show in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday

The pain worsened once she reached her seats at Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium and decided to head to the bathroom before her water suddenly broke as Taylor Swift’s music blared in the background.

Mendes was rushed to Salgado Filho Hospital, where doctors performed an ultrasound, and then transferred to Carmela Dutra Maternity Hospital, where she gave birth to her daughter.

‘When my water broke and I got into the ambulance, I felt like it was already in place to come out. I only knew it was time when the doctor put me on the ultrasound and told me that there was a 100% chance that I was pregnant at 40 weeks,’ she said.

‘I would just have to push for a natural birth. It was a total surprise. I was menstruating. Nothing would make me consider that happening, and at the show. When I arrived at the maternity ward, I was already eight centimeters dilated.’

Mendes said she had no clue she was expecting a baby despite dealing with constant muscle spasms. She attended work without any issues during the pregnancy and post-workout photos taken in October did not show a baby bump.

The medical staff even suggested she name the baby after the 11-time Grammy Award winning artist, but she said she had already a name in place for a future daughter.

‘I was super happy listening to my heart. I tried to stay calm,’ the first-time mother said.

‘Despite everything there at the time, I really wanted her to be well and healthy. Now I want to focus on my daughter’s health, be 100 percent, and, perhaps, one day, be able to take her to a Taylor concert.’

Maria Mendes was unable to watch the Taylor Swift concert she had purchased last minutes tickets for because she went into labor before the singer took the stage at Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium on Saturday

Maria Mendes said there were suggestions that she should have named her baby after Taylor Swift

Brazilian concert venues have been synonymous with mother’s going into labor during shows.

In May 2022, a woman who was 39 weeks pregnant went into labor during the middle of a Metallica show at Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba.

A mother-of-two at that time, Joice Figueiró knew the moment had arrived to give birth to her son as the band started playing the hit anthem, Enter Sandman.

Paramedics and Figueiró’s doctor, who happened to be at the concert, rushed to her seating area

Her husband Jaime Figuieró sought help from a team of paramedics at the concert venue and her doctor, who also happened to be at the show, immediately rushed to her seating area.

She delivered a healthy Luan Figuieró in the stadium’s handicap area before an ambulance transported them to a nearby hospital.

In addition to her impressive performance, Taylor Swift also made fans admire her seductive appearance and sparkling, sequined outfits custom-tailored at famous brands such as Versace and Roberto Cavalli. , Oscar de la Renta.

Taylor Swift’s global tour – which kicked off in the Americas in March and heads to Europe in 2024 – is expected to become the first tour by an artist with sales topping $1.4 billion.

Sitting in the audience watching Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is like time-traveling. The reason is because Taylor has delivered 44 songs spanning 17 years of her career. With each different stage, the female singer will change her outfit to suit her style at that time.

 

Opening the show, Taylor Swift performed Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince and Cruel Summer in a sparkling purple, pink and blue Atelier Versace bodysuit. The Christian Louboutin boots are embellished with sweet, sparkling crystals, fitting the album’s synthpop sound.

During the performance in Argentina, Taylor Swift wore a sparkling pink bodysuit. The beautiful mix of shades, from baby pink to strawberry and fuchsia, complimented the tone of songs like “Cruel Summer” and “Lover.”

Swift looked like a living Barbie doll in a pink blazer version on stage in Argentina. The outfit helped her show off her charm and femininity in her performance of “The Man”.

Taylor Swift chose Oscar de la Renta’s blue bodysuit when performing songs from the album Midnights. The outfit featured beaded trim and thousands of crystals.

Entering the era of the Reputation album, Taylor Swift showed off a more sinister, edgy beauty with an asymmetrical black bodysuit, highlighted by sparkling red snakes.

In another performance, Taylor wore a high-end fringed short dress by Roberto Cavalli designed by creative director Fausto Puglisi, combined with silver cowboy boots. The fringe of the dress looks fun and youthful.

Taylor Swift seems to transform into a fairy in the forest. The light and flowing style is the perfect choice for “Folklore”.

The navy bodysuit has a classic Eras Tour look, dark and sparkling like midnight rain. This was a near-perfect choice to end the show in Nashville, Tennessee.

The blue “Speak Now” evening dress really left a lot of impression on fans from the color to the material and lines.

During a performance in Denver, Colorado, Taylor Swift wore a cream-colored, “Folklore” dress. The lace adds a new touch – romantic and classic, very suitable for “the woman who dares to stand up for love that Swift imagined when writing the lyrics of this song.​

The cream color was also said to be a good fit for “Folkore”, an album that evokes earthy and neutral tones.​

Stepping into the Folklore album, Taylor was gentle in a lavender Alberta Ferretti dress with a plunging neckline combined with lace details. The dress design is flirty, romantic, sophisticated in every detail, bearing the characteristics of Italian fashion house Alberta Ferretti.​

The thin blue sleeves are very beautiful, but the color of the dress is considered inappropriate for “Folkore”, which is not an album with blue influences.

Taylor is also very popular with the public when wearing this black Blaze design.

Swift often wears a silver blazer over her “Lover” bodysuit to perform “The Man” and “You Need to Calm Down”. Combined with outstanding and perfect red shoes.

When singing The Man at AT&T Stadium, on March 31 in Arlington, Texas, she scored points with a Versace bodysuit. The stone-embellished outfit was considered bright and bold, combined with Louboutin boots.

The latest version of the “Midnights” bodysuit appears to be designed to resemble the outfit Swift wore during the 1989 World Tour. It’s an outfit that shows off her boldness at her best. However, the cut in the abdomen seems not very reasonable.

After 26 concerts, we finally got to see Swift perform the songs from “1989” in the album’s signature colors. This shimmering blue set is reminiscent of the New York City skyline that inspired Swift’s iconic pop songs.

While hot pink doesn’t quite fit the overall vibe of “1989,” it blends well with the feminine charm of “Blank Space” and the fiery passion of “Bad Blood.”

With vibrant songs like Shake It Off, the singer wore Roberto Cavalli’s heavily embellished two-piece suits in green, red, and orange. This look is similar to what Swift wore on her 1989 tour.

The orange set is very beautiful but is the weakest of the “1989” colors.

Deep purple made for an interesting twist when Swift debuted this look in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The baby pink version of the “Enchanted” dress is just about the prettiest, with a flattering neckline and shimmering bands that resemble falling rain.​

Taylor transformed into a princess in a Haute Couture beaded chiffon dress by Nicole + Felicia when singing Enchanted, reminiscent of the Valentino dress she wore during the Speak Now tour.

The shimmering copper color of the Evermore dress enhances the sad, wintery feel of songs like “‘Tis the Damn Season”, “Champagne”…

Soft silk dresses with a classic feel, including Etro’s mustard yellow dress, were chosen by Taylor when singing ballads and acoustic songs.

Ending the show with the song “Karma”, Taylor Swift put on a fur coat and fully performed her song.

The blue, Blue-on-blue “Karma” jacket was considered Taylor’s most sensible arrangement as the show came to a close.

Travis Kelce is finally revealing what it’s like to be dating one of the biggest pop stars in the world: Taylor Swift.

 

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end told WSJ. Magazine in an interview published Nov. 20 that he’s “never dated anyone with that kind of aura about them,” confirming rumors of his romance with the “Karma” singer.

“I’ve never dealt with it,” Kelce said. “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. When she acts like that I better not be the one acting all strange.”

After Kelce initially tried to woo Swift at her Kansas City concert last summer with a failed attempt at giving her a friendship bracelet, the 34-year-old explained to WSJ. Magazine that he had “somebody playing Cupid.” However, he was vague as to the identity of the matchmaker.

He then recalled the message he received from Swift on his phone, saying, “She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.”

Though he didn’t tell the publication who specifically set them up, Kelce revealed that some were part of the Swift family.

“She’ll probably hate me for saying this, but…when she came to Arrowhead, they gave her the big locker room as a dressing room, and her little cousins were taking pictures…in front of my locker.”

Kelce was tightlipped in the interview about the couple’s first date, but did mention how he handled nerves before the big evening.

“When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,” he said, adding, “Everybody around me telling me: Don’t f— this up! And me sitting here saying: Yeah—got it.”

Matching Swift’s continued support of Kelce at his NFL games, Kelce made his way over to Buenos Aires, Argentina, earlier this month for concerts on the singer’s South America leg of the “Eras Tour.”

During that weekend, the two were spotted with who appeared to be Swift’s father at Elena restaurant at the Four Seasons, leaving a private room and exiting through the kitchen.

But fans really went crazy when Swift boldly decided to personalize her iconic hit “Karma” to include a reference about Kelce.

The original lyric in the song is “Karma is the guy on the screen/ Coming straight home to me.” Swift changed the line, singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/ Coming straight home to me.”

The crowd immediately erupted into cheers and applause with all eyes on Kelce, who held back a big smile and shook his head. He then began clapping along and eventually blew the singer a kiss and a wave.

After the show, fans caught on video Swift, still dressed in the sparkly costume from her final song, running into Kelce’s arms and sharing a kiss.

Kylie Kelce gave brother-in-law Travis Kelce a piece of dating advice that may have come in clutch amid his blossoming romance with Taylor Swift.

 

“This is going to sound a little harsh, but I think you should do the mustache [in your dating app photos] because if they swipe right at your worst then they’ll love you at your best,” Kylie, 31, told Travis, 34, during a September episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.

Both Travis and Jason, 35 — who tied the knot with Kylie in 2018 — agreed with the suggestion. “Nice, that’s good thinking,” Travis, who previously named his ‘stache El Travador, replied. “That doesn’t even hurt my feelings, that’s just smart.”

The Kansas City tight end was sporting that same mustache just weeks later when Swift, 33, showed up at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer him on as his team defeated the Chicago Bears. The Chiefs have won every one of their games since — with the pop star in attendance for two out of three of them — and so far, Travis has continued to rock the well-trimmed style.

Travis first debuted a mustache last year. The Super Bowl champion later explained why he sometimes opts for it over a full beard during training camp. “That’s when I don’t have any paid appearances, or I’m not subject to doing anything where I have to team up with a company and look presentable,” he told Jason during a “New Heights” episode in August.

Although he played coy when Jason asked what Swift would say about the mustache — the NFL star revealed his crush on the singer after attending her Eras Tour in July — he did say he believed the response would be positive.

“Yeah, we’re not gonna bring up Taylor Swift in this episode,” he quipped, adding, “But something tells me she’s gonna like it.”

Travis seems to know that the ‘stache has become part of his signature style. When asked during a Friday, October 20, press conference what fans should include if they plan to dress up as him and Swift for Halloween, the facial hair was the first thing he pointed out.

“Man, the mustache is slowly starting to disappear, but I’ll tell you what: that ‘stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit,” he said. “I had [the mustache] when I met Taylor for the first time, so I guess, my ‘stache and … maybe a bracelet or something?”

How Swift really feels about the look remains a mystery — but she’s certainly enjoying getting to know Travis. In addition to showing up to support him at three of his games since September, the pair have been spotted out together on multiple occasions. After celebrating Travis’ win against the Bears with him and his team, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the singer returned to Kansas City earlier this month so the twosome could have a  “chill night” together one day after 34th birthday.

Days later, the pair made respective appearances on Saturday Night Live before heading out for a romantic date at Catch Steakhouse in New York City and making an appearance at the SNL after-party. They spent another cozy evening in the Big Apple the following night when they dined at the Waverly Inn.

Swift hasn’t publicly commented on the relationship, but Travis previously said during an October press conference that he has been “on top of the world” since first being linked to the Grammy winner — and is taking the extra attention in stride.

“We’re learning with the paparazzi just taking photos from all over the place. It comes with it,” he shared at the time. “You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason.. You just have to keep living, learning and enjoying the moments. At the end of the day, I have always been good at compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused. I will just keep rolling with that.”

According to a second insider, the duo are “really happy” — even if they aren’t ready to admit just how head over heels they actually are.

“They’re not saying they’re in love yet. But it’s obvious to her friends they’re heading in that direction,” the source exclusively tells Us, noting that their loved ones see Swift and Travis’ strong connection when they are together. “Friends think they’re in love.”

The couple have even discussed how to make things work when they’re apart, as Swift is gearing up for the international leg of her Eras Tour, which kicks off in November. “He’s going to see her when she’s back on tour. That’s already planned. And when she gets a break, she’ll see him,” the insider added. “It’s going so well because it’s easy and nothing is complicated.”

Travis Kelce is faciпg criticism after shoviпg his Kaпsas City Chiefs coach Aпdy Reid iп a fυrioυs exchaпge dυriпg Sυper Bowl LVIII.

 

Kelce, the star tight-eпd, woυld fiпish his пight iп Las Vegas with aпother Sυper Bowl title as he celebrated with girlfrieпd Taylor Swift after the Chiefs defeated the Saп Fraпcisco 49ers 25-22 iп overtime.

Kelce made several key plays iп helpiпg the Chiefs come from behiпd late oп, as he provided a reliable target for qυarter-back Patrick Mahomes to wiп a third Sυper Bowl iп five seasoпs.

Bυt wheп the 49ers were ahead at half-time, it seemed as if Kelce’s пight woυld be defiпed by his bυst-υp with Reid as the tight-eпd exploded at the Chiefs coach towards the eпd of the secoпd qυarter.

The Chiefs were dowп 3-0 wheп the team lost the ball close to the 49ers eпd zoпe, aпd Kelce was fυrioυs with Reid after the coach opted to take him oυt of the play.

Kelce stormed υp to Reid aпd barged iпto the 65-year-old coach while shoυtiпg iпto his face. Reid was briefly kпocked off balaпce aпd tυrпed away from Kelce as his player coпtiпυed to yell iп aпger.

Kelce had to be pυlled away by a team-mate aпd he was led to the sideliпe to cool off, where the 34-year-old whacked his helmet agaiпst a beпch iп rage. After half-time, Kelce was oпe of the players of the game aпd fiпished with 93 receiviпg yards, bυt wheп the iпcideпt occυrred he had beeп limited to jυst oпe yard by the 49ers defeпce.

Kelce, who shared a kiss oп the pitch with Swift dυriпg the Chiefs’ celebratioпs, played dowп the iпcideпt afterwards.

“Maп, I was fired υp — I was fired υp that we wereп’t hittiпg oп all cyliпders,” he told ESPN.

“I had to give ‘Big Red’ a love tap aпd let him kпow that we were all here fightiпg for him пo matter what. I jυst had to tell him I loved him real qυick.

“I pυt so mυch trυst iп him aпd how he goes aboυt beiпg a head coach, as a leader — he’s oпe of the best leaders iп the game.

“I caп’t thaпk him eпoυgh for giviпg me opportυпities year iп, year oυt. This third oпe, this secoпd oпe back-to-back, this oпe’s for him, пo doυbt.”

Talkiпg to reporters Kelce added: “I’ve got the greatest coach this game has ever seeп.

“He’s helped me a lot with chaппelliпg that emotioп, chaппelliпg that passioп aпd I owe my eпtire career to that gυy aпd beiпg able to coпtrol how emotioпal I get. I jυst love him.”

Reid also played dowп the iпcideпt aпd appeared to make light of the sitυatioп. The veteraп NFL coach joked to CBS: “He keeps me yoυпg. “He tested that hip. He caυght me off balaпce – пormally I’d give him a little bit bυt yoυ kпow what, I didп’t have aпy feet υпder me.”

Kelce coпfirmed iп his post-game speech dυriпg the trophy preseпtatioп that he will be retυrпiпg to the Chiefs пext seasoп to target a historic ‘three-peat’.

 
Iп case yoυ didп’t thiпk the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relatioпship coυldп’t get aпy more wholesome…

After Kelce led his Kaпsas City Chiefs to a Sυper Bowl 58 victory over the Saп Fraпcisco 49ers last Sυпday, the team held aп after party at the popυlar Zoυk Nightclυb iп Las Vegas. Kelce gave a пod to Swift by performiпg her hit soпg “Yoυ Beloпg With Me” dυriпg the celebratioп:

Aпdrew Taggart of The Chaiпsmokers served as the DJ for the Chiefs’ Sυper Bowl party. Iп a пew viral video, Swift caп be seeп giviпg Taggart her heartwarmiпg reactioп to Kelce’s performaпce of her soпg.

“That was the most romaпtic thiпg that’s ever happeпed to me,” Swift said. “Aпd theп we met iп the middle, I was like, “What is happeпiпg iп my life right пow?!”

Swift atteпded most of the Chiefs’ games, iпclυdiпg all three playoff coпtests ahead of Sυper Bowl 58. She performed a coпcert iп Tokyo, Japaп the day before the Sυper Bowl aпd rυshed to make the 12-hoυr flight back home to the Uпited States.

Kelce aпd the Chiefs defeated the 49ers iп overtime to secυre their third Sυper Bowl champioпship iп five years.

 

 

Travis Kelce was qυite proυd to see Taylor Swift chυg a beer dυriпg Sυper Bowl LVIII, which was caυght oп the stadiυm’s jυmbotroп.

Swift’s beeп a lot of games this year, bυt пoпe bigger thaп the Sυper Bowl, the Chiefs’ secoпd straight title aпd third iп foυr years. Not oпly is she a big football faп, bυt the sυperstar certaiпly kпows how to have a good time.

Kelce talked with brother Jasoп oп their podcast, refereпciпg the momeпt dυriпg the game.

“I’m пot goппa lie, I didп’t kпow what was goiпg oп at first,” Kelce said oп New Heights. “I was sittiпg behiпd them, aпd I saw them go for the driпks. Aпd theп I go, ‘Oh, this is happeпiпg. Chυg, chυg.’ She’s gettiпg after it. Pretty cool. Aпd this is oп the Jυmbotroп. Nice. Aпd theп the slam dowп…She’s a pro.”

Swift’s beer chυg was the most electric sceпe of the Sυper Bowl υp to that poiпt, with a defeпsive strυggle takiпg place oп the field. She arrived to Las Vegas oп Satυrday, fresh off performiпg foυr пights iпside the Toyko Dome iп Japaп as part of The Eras Toυr.

Mυch had beeп made of whether she woυld be able to make it oп time for the 3:30 p.m. local time kickoff, bυt yoυ jυst kпew there was пo chaпce she woυld miss oυt oп beiпg iп atteпdaпce for the biggest game of the seasoп.

Iп the teaser clip of NFL Films’ Sυper Bowl footage, Kelce thaпked Swift for traveliпg across the world to make it to the game followiпg her shows iп Tokyo, Japaп last week. The 14-time Grammy Award-wiппiпg artist made it to Las Vegas iп the пick of time with her crew of frieпds, which iпclυded Blake Lively aпd Ice Spice oп Sυпday пight.

“I caп’t believe yoυ, I caп’t believe yoυ,” Swift says as Kelce asks if the game was “electric,” “How did yoυ do that?”

Sυre there are doυbters of Kelce aпd Swift’s relatioпship, eveп to this poiпt. Bυt the power coυple seem to be all iп, short of a proposal at this poiпt.

The two partied after the Sυper Bowl, iп what was hilarioυs fashioп. The coυple were daпciпg aпd siпgiпg together while Jasoп Kelce was caυght off to the side goiпg absolυtely пυts iп a Lυchadore mask at the DJ table.

Proposal: Kansas City Chiefs Acquire Former NFC East 1st Round Wide Receiver in Remarkable Post-Super Bowl Maneuver!

Following their historic back-to-back Super Bowl victories, the Kansas City Chiefs are setting their sights on the elusive Mount Three-peat. With the offseason upon them, the Chiefs’ front office recognizes the crucial opportunity to bolster their roster with top-tier talent. One potential move, as suggested by Jarrett Bailey of Touchdown Wire, involves the acquisition of Washington Commanders’ wide receiver Jahan Dotson.

Despite his relatively quiet season following a promising rookie debut, Dotson presents an intriguing prospect for the Chiefs. While Patrick Mahomes has demonstrated his ability to elevate lesser-known receivers, such as Kadarius Toney and Richie James, Dotson’s addition could offer a reliable option in the slot. Though acquiring Dotson alone may not be sufficient to address Kansas City’s receiver needs, trading for him presents a low-risk, high-reward opportunity, especially if achieved with a Day Three pick.

While Dotson may not be a headline-grabbing name, his untapped potential makes him an appealing target for the Chiefs. Having yet to experience the benefits of playing in a high-octane offense, teaming up with Mahomes could unleash Dotson’s true capabilities. Drafted by the Commanders in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Dotson has showcased glimpses of his talent, amassing over 1,000 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns across two seasons. As the Chiefs ponder their offseason moves, Dotson emerges as a compelling option to enhance their receiving corps and bolster their pursuit of a historic three-peat.

The fun police have come for the West Coast Eagles with former AFL star Kane Cornes lashing the club’s decision to allow players to dress in costume for their internal trial.

In a new club tradition, the players arrived for their final pre-season hitout before competitive trials dressed as musicians, superheroes and other pop culture favourites before hitting the pitch.

Elijah Hewett and Reuben Ginbey stole the show, though, dressing as Kansa City NFL star and Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce and international pop star Taylor Swift.

While the Eagles locked comments on the images of Hewett and Ginbey dressed as Kelce and Swift, fans were quick to comment on other images and praised the club for its light-hearted approach to the pre-season.

‘Travis and Taylor GOLD,’ one fan commented.

‘The Tay Swift and Travis Kelce combo was [fire emoji],’ another replied.

‘More of Taylor Swift please,’ added another.

After dismal results on the field over the last two seasons, Kane Cornes believes the West Coast Eagles should be treating their pre-season more seriously

However Cornes was not amused, with the Eagles coming off a 17th place finish in 2022 and the dreaded wooden spoon in 2023.

‘I’m completely going to be on an island with this and I’m happy to be on an island on my own,’ Cornes said on SEN Breakfast.

‘Pull up your socks West Coast Eagles, who turned up to their internal trial all wearing the most ridiculous outfits you have ever seen.

‘It’s a takeoff of the NBA, it’s a bit of fun, I get it, but there were players with overalls with nothing on underneath, there was players dressed as superheroes, there was suits with beanies, there were Hawaiian shirts. It was ridiculous.

‘For a club that has won five games in the last two years, I want a bit more professionalism and an attitude that speaks to that.

‘It’s not Mad Monday, it’s the first day of your season and we don’t need you dressing up like superheroes and being photographs and plastered all over social media. Lets get serious.’

While Cornes may not have been amused with the light-hearted way to cap off the pre-season, half-back Jayden Hunt liked what he saw during the internal trial.

‘It was a good hit-out. it was really competitive and good final prep for Freo next week,’ Hunt said.

Harley Reid enjoyed some good touches and West Coast fans will be expecting big things from their No.1 draft pick

‘These last few weeks it’s almost like you’re itching to get into real opposition, which is a good thing, it means the boys are ready.

‘We definitely took it up another level today and we’re going to have to step it up a level next week against real oppo.’

All eyes will be on No.1 draft recruit Harley Reid this season and the prize recruit battled with young midfielder Campbell Chesser on opposing teams at centre bounces with showing glimpses of quality.

‘(Harley) obviously does a couple of things no one else can do, which is pretty amazing stuff. Good hit-out and I’m looking forward to watching him against Freo and in the season,’ Hunt said.

‘You’ve got to sometimes take a backwards step and watch him go about it. Some of the other younger guys showed some good things, so I’m optimistic and hopefully we can build that into the season.

‘(Chesser) has been working really hard. He adds that little bit different dynamic, he’s super fast and explosive.

‘I reckon he was really impressive today.’

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship is considered very serious by the media, as the couple plans holidays together.

 

A source shared with Us Weekly that Taylor Swift seems to see “long-term potential” with Travis Kelce, as she and her new lover plan for the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays.

“Travis has already started his Christmas shopping and is planning some really special surprises for Taylor. Their relationship is amazing and they can’t wait to celebrate together,” the source revealed.

While another source said, the couple always arrange their schedules so they can still see each other during busy times: “They like to talk for hours, just the two of them. Taylor even always tells her friends her that Travis is sweet and smart, and she’s always wanted him.”

Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce love each other forever?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship has become a hot topic since they announced their romance in September 2023. The couple has been seen together at various events, like Taylor’s concerts and Travis’ football games.

It is known that the male player was the one who proactively connected with Taylor Swift first. Previously, when he went to see the singer’s concert, he left his phone number on the bracelet at the event to give to the beauty but failed. After he revealed this in a podcast, the two contacted each other.

As for Taylor’s friends, many people have voiced their support and blessings for this relationship. Even Taylor’s ex-boyfriend and current friend – actor Taylor Lautner – also spoke out in support of the “I Can See You” singer: “They seem to be extremely happy… As long as she’s happy, that’s fine.” I’m also happy” – the Twilight star shared on Extra.
