Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made their first public appearance since returning from Singapore. The two stars were seen together at an event, marking their official return to the public eye after their time abroad. Swift and Kelce have been rumored to be dating, and their appearance together has sparked further speculation among fans and media outlets. The sighting has created a buzz among followers of both celebrities, with many eagerly awaiting further details about the nature of their relationship. This public outing has rekindled interest in the potential romance between Swift and Kelce, leaving fans wondering what the future may hold for the pair.

Boston Celtics Extend Home Win Streak with Victory over Portland Trail Blazers

In a commanding performance, the Boston Celtics secured their 13th consecutive home victory by defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 124-107 on Sunday night. Jaylen Brown led the charge for the Celtics, scoring 26 points and reaching the significant milestone of 10,000 career points in the NBA.

Kristaps Porzingis contributed to Boston’s success with his third consecutive double-double, recording 12 points and 10 rebounds in just 27 minutes on the court. Payton Pritchard added 20 points, while Derrick White and Jrue Holiday chipped in with 15 and 12 points respectively. The win marked the Celtics’ 14th victory in their last 16 games overall.

Speaking on Brown’s achievement, Boston coach Joe Mazzulla praised the player’s dedication and growth throughout his career. Mazzulla emphasized Brown’s evolution into a complete player on both ends of the court and expressed pride in coaching him through this milestone moment.

Despite the Trail Blazers’ efforts, led by Dalano Banton’s 28 points and Deandre Ayton’s 22 points and 14 rebounds, they fell short against the Celtics. Jabari Walker contributed 14 points and 18 rebounds for Portland, which concluded a challenging 2-5 road trip.

The absence of Celtics star Jayson Tatum due to a right knee contusion did not deter Boston’s performance. With the league’s best record and home-court advantage secured, the Celtics continue to assert their dominance heading into the playoffs.

In his eighth season, Brown reached the 10,000-point milestone with a remarkable left-handed scoop shot early in the second half. The TD Garden crowd honored Brown with a standing ovation, acknowledging his achievement and unwavering commitment to the team.

Boston sealed the victory in the final quarter, fueled by consecutive 3-pointers from Sam Hauser and Xavier Tillman during a decisive 12-0 run. The Celtics maintained control of the game after taking the lead in the first quarter and never trailed again.

Before the game, the Celtics paid tribute to Portland coach Chauncey Billups for his induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Billups expressed gratitude for the warm reception from the Boston crowd and reflected on his brief but memorable time with the Celtics earlier in his career.

The game also marked the return of former Celtics center Robert Williams III and guard Malcolm Brogdon, who were traded to Portland in the offseason. Williams was greeted with a display of his nickname, “Time Lord,” on the video board, showcasing the lasting impact of his time with the Celtics organization.

Jason Kelce received a new moniker when he made a surprise debut at WWE Wrestlemania on Saturday. The 36-year-old retired NFL veteran, along with his former colleague Lane Johnson, discreetly interrupted Dominik Mysterio’s match against Santos Escobar. In an attempt to keep things low-key, the two wore Philadelphia Eagles headpieces that covered their entire faces.


When they removed their masks and matching black tank tops to reveal their identities, presenter Pat McAfee announced, “Welcome to Wrestlemania, Philadelphia Eagles.” Another announcer quickly referenced Swift, 34, saying, “Isn’t that whatshername’s brother-in-law?”

The 36-year-old “Pat McAfee Show” presenter then belted out her popular song “22” before explaining, “Is that who you are talking about?”. Jason in his response does not mind being called Taylor Swift’s brother-in-law, but he insisted that he he respects the privacy of his brother’s relationship with the billionaire singer.

Jason said “Travis and Taylor have an amazing relationship and I respect their privacy, all they need is our continuous love and support”. Travis Kelce, Jason’s younger brother, started dating the “Love Story” singer last summer, and the two have been making sports headlines ever since.

Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, recently spoke out about Travis’ friendship with the pop singer, revealing that their family was not used to being under such great scrutiny.

“That’s intriguing. I’m trying to take it in stride and make sure that when people talk about me, it’s about something meaningful,” she said on “Today” last week, referring to the Eagles Foundation charity.

Kylie and Jason spent a lot of time with the Grammy winner during the 2023 NFL season, which concluded in February with Travis’ third Super Bowl victory and Jason’s dramatic retirement announcement. “Ultimately, if Travis is happy, we’re happy,” Kylie, 32, added.

The mother of three, who has kids Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, with the future Hall of Fame center, stated that she and her family are “always cheering on Uncle Trav.”

“It’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field, but it’s been amazing,” she said when asked about seeing Swift’s romance with her brother-in-law, 34, “close up.”

Swift and Travis were most recently sighted in the Bahamas, enjoying the NFL offseason and the singer’s break from her record-breaking Eras tour.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce caused a stir at the Dogpound gym in West Hollywood as they made other members wait for them to finish their workout. The pair, who have been in LA after a romantic trip to the Bahamas, shut down the gym for their training session. Despite claims that members waited outside for two hours, it is not true. Swift, known for her grueling workouts, has been in top shape for her recent tour by running on the treadmill and strength training. The couple was seen enjoying their time on the beach during their vacation. Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Swift have not commented on the incident. Despite the speculation, fans have not been able to successfully complete the singer’s workout routine.

 

The Keviп Dυraпt Charity Foυпdatioп has revealed that it will doпate $10 millioп to College Track iп order to briпg the orgaпizatioп’s college completioп iпitiative to Dυraпt’s hometowп of Priпce George’s Coυпty, Marylaпd.

The moпey will go towards bυildiпg the Dυraпt Ceпtre, a learпiпg aпd leadership ceпtre that will hoυse College Track’s exteпsive teп-year programme. Begiппiпg iп the пiпth grade, the programme assists stυdeпts from υпderprivileged commυпities iп overcomiпg obstacles to achieviпg their college goals aпd eqυips them with the skills they пeed to thrive iп the tweпty-first-ceпtυry ecoпomy. Iп the aυtυmп of 2018, College Track at The Dυraпt Ceпtre will welcome its first class from пeighboυriпg Sυitlaпd High School. The program’s participaпts gradυate from college at a rate that is more thaп twice as high as the пatioпal average for first-geпeratioп aпd low-iпcome stυdeпts, accordiпg to the orgaпisatioп.

Oaklaпd-based College Track was established iп 1997 by bυsiпessmaп Carlos Watsoп aпd philaпthropist Laυreпe Powell Jobs. Its missioп is to prepare high school stυdeпts for the scholastic, ecoпomical, aпd socioemotioпal challeпges of college aпd to sυpport them dυriпg their time there. The orgaпizatioп’s first East Coast ceпtre, the Dυraпt Ceпtre, will be followed by two other facilities iп the Washiпgtoп, D.C., metro area by 2021. The Keviп Dυraпt Charity Foυпdatioп was established iп 2013 with the goal of eпhaпciпg the lives of yoυпg people from υпderprivileged homes throυgh social services, sports, aпd edυcatioп.

“This is my dream come trυe,” Dυraпt, who woп the Most Valυable Player award iп the NBA Champioпship Fiпals the previoυs year, remarked. “To come back home aпd positively impact the lives of kids — who share the ambitioпs I’ve always had — with world-class edυcatioпal opportυпities aпd resoυrces that caп completely chaпge the game iп oυr commυпity for geпeratioпs to come.”
