New footage shows Taylor Swift telling Travis Kelce she’s ‘never been so proud in my life’ after watching him win the Super Bowl last week.
The popstar flew across the globe from Tokyo to Las Vegas to cheer on Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs as they beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in an overtime thriller.
Swift, who had watched the game in Kelce’s $1million suite with both of their families, made her way down to the field to celebrate with her boyfriend after he got his hands on the Vince Lombardi trophy.Kelce was mic’d up throughout the game and new footage of the couple celebrating has come to light.
In a clip circulating on social media, believed to be from Inside the NFL, the pair embrace before Swift tells Kelce: ‘I’ve never been so proud in my life. I can’t believe you. How did you do that?’

Kelce asked how his girlfriend wasn’t suffering from jet lag after her mad dash from Japan
Swift told Kelce ‘jet lag is a choice’ as they then partied until around 5:30am in Las VegasShe even called him ‘magical at one point. Kelce then asks his girlfriend: ‘How do you not have jet lag right now?’
Swift responds: ‘Jet lag is a choice’. She then walks off as Kelce goes off into the crowd to celebrate elsewhere.Taylor flew almost 5,500 miles to be in Vegas for the Super Bowl last weekend, after wrapping up the latest leg of her Eras Tour in Tokyo on the Friday.
She then flew to Los Angeles on the Saturday, heading to her California property and spending the night there before making the final journey to Vegas on the day of the Super Bowl.
The music megastar rocked up at Allegiant Stadium alongside celebrity pals Blake Lively and Ice Spice, before they joined the likes of Jason and Kylie Kelce in their VIP suite at the game.
Kelce then helped the Chiefs get the better of the 49ers in the dying seconds of overtime, which crowned Kansas City the first back-to-back champions for almost 20 years.
However, the team’s victory parade back in Kansas City descended into tragedy on Wednesday after two gunmen opened fire, leaving one dead and 21 injured.
Fans were left fleeing for their lives after the gunshots rang out at Union Station, before some of them were seen heroically tackling an armed man to the ground.
Police said two gunmen were detained, although their identities remain unclear.
It was a happy ending for Kelce though as the Chiefs won an overtime thriller 25-22 in Vegas
But the Chiefs’ parade on Wednesday, where Kelce produced a drunk performance on stage, eventually descended into tragedy Chiefs players and staff were all eventually confirmed to be safe and accounted for after several of them came to the aid of panicked children caught up in the chaos.
Yet, Kelce has been criticized after he smiled for a ‘tone deaf’ selfie with a police officer outside a restaurant just hours after the horrific shooting.
Fans are now calling the tight end’s behavior into question after a spate of controversial incidents since he took to the field in Vegas for Sunday’s Super Bowl.
The initial ‘red flag’ arrived during the Super Bowl itself when Kelce exploded into a fit of rage towards Chiefs coach Andy Reid on the sideline.
Heading back to the bench, Kelce got in the face of his 65-year-old coach, before quickly being pulled away by a teammate.
Three days later, a drunken Kelce could barely speak and stand up as he took to the stage before the shooting at Wednesday’s parade.
The likes of PatrickMahomes and Chris Jones were even forced to step in and prevent him from falling over at one stage – which came as a concern to a number of Swift fans.
And the latest of the ‘red flags’ arrived on Wednesday night when a picture surfaced showing Taylor Swift’s boyfriend smiling as he agreed to take a selfie with a police officer.
Kelce, who can be seen with a beer in his hand, was all smiles as he entered the Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar on Wednesday night.According to TMZ he was joining other teammates, who were already inside, for dinner just hours after the chaotic scenes in the city.
Angry fans have taken to social media to accuse the football player of being ‘tone deaf’ and lacking compassion.
One wrote: ‘There is a time for everything, and that wasn’t the time for a picture’.
Another commented ‘not a good look. this is really bad’ while another added that Taylor Swift’s ‘people’ are ‘having a sit down with Taylor at this point’.
‘I can smell the liquor through my phone. He really looks concerned,’ wrote another.
A statement posted to Kelce’s X account earlier on Wednesday read: ‘I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today.
‘My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me.’

Jason Kelce missed every bit of Usher‘s halftime show on Sunday … saying the chaos surrounding Taylor Swift during the break in the Super Bowl’s action forced him to find cover elsewhere.
Travis Kelce‘s big brother made the revelation on Wednesday’s episode of “New Heights” … explaining so many celebs tried to get to Swift at halftime of the Chiefs vs. 49ers game at Allegiant Stadium, that he simply could not catch “a lick” of Usher’s big performance.
“There was so much happening in the suite,” the Philadelphia Eagles star said. “Turns out, everybody wants to meet Taylor.”

Jason said the A-listers looking to chat with the “Love Story” crooner included Shaquille O’Neal … and at point, so many people were there trying to grab her ear that it all got “overwhelming.”
“I mean, dude,” Jason said, “I think it was my first really understanding of kind of some of the things she has to deal with on a lot of basis. Because there was so many star-studded people there, where it’s like, ‘Dude, everybody wants to come see her,’ but the suite’s only so big.”
TAYLOR’S WINNING DAY AT THE SUPER BOWLLAUNCH GALLERY
Jason implied, though, that Taylor handled it all with flying colors … something that didn’t surprise Travis one bit.
“Taylor thrives in those situations,” Swift’s boyfriend said on the podcast. “She’s been in them countless times in her life.”
USHER TAKES THE STAGE!LAUNCH GALLERYGetty
Travis, meanwhile, said he too had yet to see Usher’s performance … although that’s not too surprising, considering he said on Wednesday’s show that he’s spent just about every minute since winning the championship partying his tail off.
Travis Kelce has been spotted shopping for some ice cream at Trader Joe’s, as his girlfriend Taylor Swift, moves into the Chiefs star’s $6million Kansas City mansion.
Just days after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed the couple’s plans to live together for the next few weeks, as a sign of testing the waters of their relationship, a woman living in the Kansas City area recorded footage of the two-time Super Bowl champ’s short outing.
Alex Owens shared a video on TikTok showing the 34-year-old tight end in a hunting sweater, interacting with fans and leaving the supermarket with a grocery bag.
‘About cried at the store today when Travis Kelce checked out in front of me!!!!!’ she initially captioned her post.
‘No one approached him, was weird or acted crazy. The moment he left the whole store exploded! I freaking love Kansas City for being so respectful and polite. Also, he’s a king and so beautiful. It’s still on my bucket list to get a hug from him… if anyone was wondering what to get me for Christmas…’

Earlier this week, Swift jetted into Kansas City after wrapping up the South American leg of her Eras Tour. She has been staying at her beau’s mansion in Leawood, Kansas.
Kelce’s latest day trip has led Swifties to believe that he bought ice cream at Trader Joe’s just for his sweetheart.
Swift has the holiday season to rest up in Kelce’s luxury six-bed, six-bath home prior to hitting the road again to go on tour in January. She’ll start in Japan, before flying to Australia and Singapore. After that, the 33-year-old pop icon will head to Europe. She’ll be in the U.K. and Ireland in June.
The ‘You Belong with Me’ hitmaker will then return to London for two more shows in August after her shows on the Old Continent.
Kelce and Swift first started dating in September, right before the start of the 2023-24 NFL season. During the Chiefs’ latest victory against the Las Vegas Raiders, their arch-rivals, on Sunday night, Kelce became the fastest tight end in NFL history to get to 11,000 career receiving yards.

He reached the milestone in his 154th game, overtaking Tony Gonzalez’s previously established record of 191 games.
Swift was one of the first people to show off her pride for her boyfriend, liking a post on the football player’s most recent achievement after completing her final show in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
But, now that they’re shacking up together for most of next month, Kelce and Swift can look forward to the singer’s 34th birthday on December 13, always a major event in Swiftland.
Last year, she celebrated her big day in the studio with close friend and collaborator Jack Antonoff.
Earlier this month, Swift announced the release of her tour movie on streaming site. The cost to watch is $19.89 – an obvious reference to her Grammy-winning album that really launched her into superstardom.
Taylor Swift is proving that “It’s Really Nice to Have a Friend.”
The pop star and her beau Travis Kelce paid a visit to the Kansas City mansion of Patrick and Brittany Mahomes on Tuesday, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
Per the outlet, Swift was driven to the home along with some security detail while Kelce came to the mansion separately in his Rolls-Royce Ghost.
Swift and Kelce spent a few hours at the $8 million home before the two returned back to Kelce’s $6 million abode.
The visit to the home came one day after the Mahomes celebrated the first birthday of their son, Bronze, though it’s unclear if either Kelce or Swift were there in attendance for that gathering.
The trip to the house was the latest bonding experience for Swift and the Chiefs quarterback’s wife, who have quickly formed a bond the past few months.
During an Oct. 22 game between the Chiefs and Chargers, Swift and Mahomes broke out a secret handshake in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium as Kansas City put the ball into the end zone with a 46-yard touchdown to receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

A few days later, Patrick Mahomes spoke on a local sports radio show about how he and Kelce need to come up with their own moves to outdo the other pair.
“I need to talk to Travis because me and Travis don’t even have a handshake yet,” Mahomes told Kansas City’s KCSP 610 AM in October.
“So I mean, they’re ahead of the game on us. So we’re gonna have to get on the whiteboard, and we’re gonna figure out a handshake so that we can try to one-up theirs.”
Swift and Brittany’s friendship continued to blossom and the duo began “texting each other even when it’s not game day,” TMZ reported at the end of October.
In November, the two even shared a champagne toast along with Lyndsay Bell, the wife of Chiefs tight end Blake Bell, and Paige Buechele, the wife of Bills quarterback Shane Buechele, who used to play for Kansas City, in photos shared to Brittany’s Instagram.

On the other side of things, the Chiefs bounced back this past Sunday with a 31-17 thrashing over the rival Raiders in an AFC West clash, as Mahomes threw from 298 yards — 91 of which ended up going into the hands of Kelce, who snagged six catches.
In the process, Kelce became the fastest NFL tight end to ever reach 11,000 receiving yards, and Swift liked a congratulatory Instagram post the Chiefs shared to commemorate the milestone.

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.
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal gave some brutally honest advice to Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce as the seven-time Pro Bowler considers ending his career.
The 36-year-old Kelce is known to be considering retirement and has yet to publicly announce if he will hang up his cleats or return to the field for another season.
O’Neal spent nearly 20 years in the NBA – most notably with the Los Angeles Lakers – and won four titles before retiring in 2011.
‘My advice to you is if you are going to retire, accept it, (and) enjoy your family brother,’ O’Neal said.
‘I made a lot of dumb mistakes to where I lost my family and I didn’t have anybody. That’s not the case for you. So enjoy your beautiful wife. Enjoy your beautiful kids, and never dwell on what we had. What we had is what we got.’

Kelce has been considering walking away from the game but has yet to reveal his decision
Kelce, who won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles, has three daughters – Wyatt Elizabeth, Elliotte Ray and Bennett Llewellyn – with his wife, Kylie.
Shaq, meanwhile, has six kids but he and ex-wife Shaunie Henderson divorced in 2011 with the NBA legend later admitting he was ‘a serial cheater’.
‘You got the ring. People know who you are. Enjoy. Because again, I was an idiot and I’ve talked about it a long time,’ O’Neal added. ‘I lost my whole family. I’m in a 100,000 square foot house by myself.’
Kelce recently stated that he would like to stay around football in some capacity evenif he did choose to retire.
A recent report claimed the 36-year-old had been ‘making the rounds’ with various networks in Las Vegas during Super Bowl week about a potential move to the broadcast booth.

The article also states that Amazon, NBC and CBS would pursue Kelce, 36, if and when he commits his future to broadcasting.
Kelce appeared on Amazon’s Thursday Night Football broadcast during the Eagles’ bye week this season.
His recent discussions with Fox and ESPN were described as a preliminary ‘testing of the water.’
Kelce also recently said that if he decided to get into coaching he would do so at either high school or NFL level but not college because of the necessary time commitment.
