Travis Kelce Honors Taylor Swift with Special Bracelet at Brother Jason’s Retirement Press Conference

During Jason Kelce’s emotional retirement press conference, NFL star Travis Kelce showcased his love for Taylor Swift by wearing a friendship bracelet adorned with a subtle nod to the pop sensation. The bracelet, featuring the initials “T T” in small brown, black, and gold beads, caught the attention of eagle-eyed fans on Twitter, evoking memories of the $6,000 “TNT” diamond friendship bracelet Travis gifted Swift last year.

While Travis sported two additional bracelets whose inscriptions remained a mystery, one seemed to begin with “Travis Kelce is a…”. As emotions ran high during Jason’s heartfelt speech, Travis proudly displayed his bracelets, wiping away tears with a tissue, seated alongside their parents and sister-in-law in the front row.

Both brothers were visibly moved throughout the announcement, with Jason expressing gratitude for Travis’s profound impact on his career, emphasizing their lifelong bond. “It was really my brother and I our whole lives,” Jason tearfully reflected. “We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried, and learned from each other.”

Travis Kelce has detailed his whirlwind trip to Australia to visit his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, during her global sold-out Eras Tour.

The three-time Super Bowl champ, 34, revealed that even though he visited Sydney for just 24 hours, his trip Down Under “did not disappoint.”

“It was amazing over there,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said on Wednesday’s “New Heights” podcast episode. “I only went to Sydney — got a lot of friends that I’ve met over the years in Melbourne, definitely want to get out there and see what Melbourne has to offer.”

“Sydney was a beautiful city,” Kelce shared, before detailing his romantic — and very exclusive — trip to the Sydney Zoo with the 14-time Grammy winner.

“It was cool to see all the exotic animals,” the NFL star told newly-retired Jason Kelce. “It was fun, man. There were full-on helicopters just just flying around. This is all because Taylor is the biggest and the best thing possible.”

The duo took in the Australian wildlife during a private tour of the park and even hand-fed some of the kangaroos and met koalas during their wholesome day out.

“Tell you what though, the kangaroos are pretty sweet and I got to see a red panda up close and personal,” Kelce shared.

He spent that evening watching his famous girlfriend rock out on stage at Sydney’s 82,000-seat Accor Stadium.

“And then we got to enjoy the Taylor Swift show,” Kelce said on the podcast. “Australians are pretty rowdy, they like to have a good time. I like to have a good time.”

“They were just a little bit louder than the Argentina crowd. And I was not expecting that. Taylor’s very fond of performing in Australia,” he said.

At the concert, Kelce was seen waving and high-fiving excited Swifties while walking through the crowd to get to his VIP tent.

He was later seen singing along to Swift’s songs alongside Katy Perry and Rita Ora, who were also watching the show from the VIP tent.

Kelce was seen hopping on a flight back to home soil the following morning before heading to Las Vegas to celebrate the Chiefs’ second-straight Super Bowl win.

Jason Kelce is flying out on a high.

The 36-year-old Philadelphia Eagles center sobbed as he announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons on Monday.

“Not a good start,” he joked through tears, before detailing visceral memories of playing football as a kid, as well as the hardships he went through to make it as a professional athlete.

Kelce also took time to thank everyone who has helped him along the way, including his parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, his brother, Travis Kelce, and his wife, Kylie Kelce, who were all holding back tears from the audience.

“There is no chance I would be here without the bond Travis and I share,” Jason said while remembering how he and his brother, who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, pushed each other over the years.

“It was really my brother and I our whole lives,” he said. “We did almost everything together — competed, fought, laughed, cried and learned from each other. We invented games, imagine ourselves as star players of that time.

“We envisioned making winning plays day after day. We won countless Super Bowls in our minds before ever leaving the house. And when we weren’t playing we were at the other one’s games.”

The now-retired athlete continued to wipe away tears as he recalled meeting Kylie in a bar and how proud he is to now be the father of three daughters.

“This all brings us here to today where I announce I am retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles,” he said at the end of the speech. “And today I must admit I am officially overrated. Vastly overrated. It took a lot of hard work and determination getting here.”

“Thank you, Philadelphia, from the bottom of my heart,” he concluded. “It has truly been a privilege. You have all been good to me and my family … I don’t know what’s next but I look forward the new challenges and lessons that await.”

Jason was the Eagles’ sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft, and he spent his entire career with the team.

He won a Super Bowl ring in 2018 and has seven Pro Bowls under his belt.

Jason memorably helped lead his team to the 2023 Super Bowl, which the Eagles lost to his brother Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, 38-35.

Speculation that Jason was hanging up his cleats first emerged in January after the Eagles’ season-ending loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He told his teammates in the locker room after the game that he was retiring, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“He has considered retiring after other recent seasons, but this time is said to be real and happening,” the sports reporter tweeted.

Jason was visibly upset following his team’s loss and even appeared to be crying when cameras cut to him on the sidelines.

“That looks like a man filled with emotion right now,” commentator Troy Aikman said during the broadcast.

He walked off the field toward his wife, Kylie, who stood in the front row with his father

Eagles player Lane Johnson also told reporters that Jason had “hinted” to teammates that 2023-24 was his final season.

“I love him. He’s one of the best to ever play the game,” Johnson said.

“The things he can do on the football field athletically — I don’t think we’ll see another one like him for a long time.”

In March 2023, the father of three announced his decision to “return for another year after talking it over with my wife and many other friends and family.”

“I have put much thought into whether it makes sense to play another season… Thank you to all my supporters and detractors for fueling me, I ain’t f–king done yet,” he tweeted at the time.

Jason and Kylie are parents to three girls: Wyatt Elizabeth, 4, Elliotte Ray, 2, and Bennett Llewellyn, 1.

“The Kansas City Chiefs’ Game-Changing Trade: How Patrick Mahomes Turned the Tables in NFL History”

In a pivotal move, the Kansas City Chiefs orchestrated a groundbreaking trade with the Buffalo Bills, leaping from the 27th to the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. The Chiefs selected quarterback Patrick Mahomes, altering the course of their franchise’s destiny while reshaping the landscape of the league.

Since that fateful decision, the Chiefs have emerged as a dominant force in the NFL. With the most regular-season victories and three Super Bowl triumphs in the span of six years, their success is synonymous with the arrival of Mahomes. The quarterback’s accolades speak volumes—two MVP awards, three Super Bowl MVPs, and an array of records poised to be shattered in the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills, while acquiring talents like Tre’Davious White, Siran Neal, Zay Jones, and Tremaine Edmunds in the trade, have struggled to match the Chiefs’ level of success. Despite White’s stellar performances and Edmunds’ two Pro Bowl appearances, the Bills have faced postseason disappointments, often at the hands of Mahomes and the Chiefs.

As the Chiefs bask in the glory of their strategic gamble paying off, the Bills are left to reassess and recalibrate their roster amidst salary cap constraints. The divergent paths of the two franchises underscore the magnitude of the Chiefs’ bold move and the transformative impact of Mahomes’ arrival.

NBA star Stephen Curry’s little sister Sydel Curry-Lee is forging her own path.

The youngest of three siblings, Sydel was born in 1994 into a basketball family. Her father, Dell Curry, played in the NBA for nearly two decades, while her older brothers Stephen and Seth are both professional basketball players.

“People underestimating me is pretty much my life from the moment I started playing sports to now,” the former college volleyball player told Togethxr in 2020. When she walked around her college campus, she heard her classmates whispering, “Oh, that’s Steph Curry’s sister.”

But since graduating from Elon University in 2017, Sydel has pursued many interests, including running a lifestyle blog, launching a podcast and advocating for mental health. She is also a wife to NBA player Damion Lee and a soon-to-be mother of two.

“I feel like I’ve done a really good job at creating my own person and creating my own identity outside of my brothers,” she said.

Sydel still has the support of her big brothers though. When she told Steph and his wife Ayesha Curry that she was pregnant with her first child in 2021, the two screamed in pure excitement, as seen in a video shared by the Golden State Warriors. Both of her brothers also served as groomsmen at her 2018 wedding.

So, who is Stephen Curry’s sister? Here’s everything to know about Sydel Curry-Lee.

 
Sydel Curry Instagram

While Sydel didn’t follow in her family’s footsteps when it came to basketball, she did play volleyball at Elon University from 2014 to 2016. She was redshirted as a freshman due to a dislocated knee cap and started playing in 2014.

She was underestimated a lot during college, Sydel recalled, with some people even questioning her talent. “I remember one of the first things I ever heard when I was playing volleyball is, ‘You’re only here because of your family.’ “

Sydel was named the team’s MVP in 2016, the same year she was named NCCSIA First Team All-State. However, she retired from volleyball in 2017 after an injury.

“I have dedicated so much of my life, my identity, to my sport. As an athlete and a competitor, I will always want to put my sport before a lot of things,” she wrote on Facebook. “I never thought that my first grown-up decision about my future would be something so difficult.”

She graduated with a degree in psychology the same year.

 
Sydel Curry Instagram

Sydel is using her platform for good. She’s very open on her Instagram account and on her own blog, “A Curry Girl,” about her own struggles with mental health.

“I’ve always had a passion for mental health, not that I’ve had to deal with it on my own. I’ve always been curious about the mind and helping others but I really want, literally in a sense, to save lives,” she told Essence in 2020. “We’ve seen in the past week or so how many people have taken their lives because [they were] at a point in their life that they thought it’s never going to get better. So with my brand called A Curry Girl and the platform that I have, that’s all I want to do is just change the stigma behind [people] being not being able to speak about how you’re feeling and not being in a culture where social media is just about jokes and people not taking other people seriously.”

In May 2021, Sydel launched a podcast called Because Life, which “aims to de-stigmatize the discussion around mental health and offer first-hand advice on how we can all discuss the subject better as well as things we can do to improve our mental health,” per the podcast’s description.

Recently in March 2023, she spoke to Ferrum College about the importance of mental health. “Dusted off my speechin’ skills and spoke to @ferrum_college students today! I left feeling so encouraged by the progress that’s being made in colleges and universities by creating safe spaces for students to feel seen and heard in their mental health journeys,” she wrote on Instagram.

Sydel and her now-husband Damion Lee, who plays for the Phoenix Suns, met at a college basketball game while she was at Elon University and he was a student at Drexel University.

“He was walking up the stairs, I was sitting in the stands and we kind of made eye contact,” she told Munaluchi Bride. After exchanging DMs and going on a few dates, they officially became a couple.

As for the proposal, Sydel explained she had one requirement. “My one wish for a proposal was to have all my family in the same room when the time came. He planned it on a weekend that both of our families would be in town for different reasons.”

The pair got married on Sept. 1, 2018, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Steph’s wife Ayesha served as her matron of honor while his daughters were flower girls.

The day after the wedding Sydel shared photos on her Instagram along with a special message for her husband: “I love this man more than words can tell but now i get to live my life showing it and telling him every day! I have tons of people to thank but right now, I just need to relish in the fact that I have found my soulmate, we are now one, and I am Mrs. Lee!!!!!”

As a wedding gift, Steph gave his sister something pretty special. He had the women’s volleyball locker room at Elon University named after her.

“Just want to say congratulations on getting married this weekend, that’s a big occasion, I know it’s crazy,” Steph said in a video message. “But we also want to congratulate you on an amazing career at Elon playing volleyball, all you did for the school and the program, and wanted to give it back to you with the new locker room for Sydel Curry.”

On Nov. 26, 2021, Sydel and Lee welcomed a baby boy, Daxon Wardell-Xavier Lee.

“No words are enough to describe the bliss of having my sweet son here. We are in newborn bliss and soaking in every single moment,” she wrote on Instagram.

Ahead of Daxon’s birth, Sydel shared photos of her nursery exclusively with PEOPLE. “We want this to be his place of solace, a safe space for him to rest and feel at home,” she shared, while her husband added, “It’s a great space for us to get away from all the distractions of the outside world and focus on our baby.”

And following their baby’s arrival, the new parents opened up about keeping the spark alive in their marriage on Sydel’s podcast, calling it “very hard.”

“Someone gave us the advice to do the deed for a whole month. Like every day of the month. We got to day like 15 and we were like, no,” she shared. “I think that’s a very hard thing to do. I don’t think it happens a lot in relationships … I haven’t met anyone who has kept the spark the whole time while trying to conceive because it’s such a mental thing.”

Sydel isn’t just a basketball fan, she’s also a self-proclaimed Swiftie. She shared a photo of herself on Instagram at the first night of the Eras Tour in Glendale, Arizona.

“Went for Paramore, left invested if Betty ever took James back! #erastour Hayley Williams is EVERYTHING & Taylor just did the dang thing! A 3 1/2 hour set is unreal and she didn’t miss at all! Thanks @ryanquint_ for the invite!”

Perhaps Sпoop Dogg has пever appeared more relatable thaп he did oп Tυesday eveпiпg.

Iп aп Iпstagram post that followed the Los Aпgeles Lakers’ overtime victory over the New York Kпicks, the reпowпed figυre iп rap aпd popυlar cυltυre ascribed his elevated blood pressυre aпd aпxiety to the team’s performaпce.

The previoυs forced overtime coпtest played by the Lakers iп less thaп a week resυlted iп a 125-121 loss to the No. 1 seed iп the Easterп Coпfereпce, the Bostoп Celtics. They emerged victorioυs 129-123 iп this coпtest, sпappiпg a two-game losiпg skid; LeBroп James recorded a triple-doυble.

Withiп the video, Sпoop Dogg caп be seeп υпwiпdiпg aпd rejoiciпg iп the victory while expressiпg his coпcerпs regardiпg the team.

“As yoυ are aware, that smile sigпifies the Lakers’ victory!” “We do fiпd a way,” he replied with a chυckle.
