It’s a love story, baby, just say yes.

 

A Las Vegas wedding chapel is offering the lovely gesture of hosting Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding ceremony for free after Super Bowl Sunday.

Although the power couple are not even engaged, the Chapel of the Flowers, located on the Vegas Strip near The STRAT Hotel, Casino, & Tower, is offering them what would be a memorable night for both the “Karma” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end after the Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium.

“We’re ready to make the Big Game even bigger for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce with a wedding in one of our famous chapels!” Chapel of the Flowers CEO Donne Kerestic said in a statement.

“If they’re game to turn their ‘Big Day’ into a Vegas extravaganza, we’ve got an aisle prepared and ready to go. Vegas weddings are the real MVP!”

The offer isn’t just exclusive to Kelce and Swift, both age 34. Kerestic says the Chapel of the Flowers will offer a free wedding on Super Bowl Sunday to any couple named Taylor and Travis.

The Post has contacted reps for Kelce and Swift for comment.

Kelce first spoke about Swift in July after attending her “Eras Tour” concert in Kansas City. He claimed he had made a friendship bracelet — a popular beaded bracelet Swift fans trade at her shows — with his phone number on it but did not get the chance to meet her that day.

Swift shocked the world in September when she attended the Chiefs game versus the Chicago Bears and sat next to Kelce’s mom, Donna.

Since then, the world’s most interesting couple has faced criticism from angry NFL fans who don’t like seeing a pop star during sports broadcasts but also received support from fellow celebrities including Stephen A. Smith and David Letterman.

Swift is currently in Tokyo, Japan, performing her “Eras Tour.” She will perform her last show in the city on Saturday, and thanks to Tokyo being 17 hours ahead of Vegas, should be able to attend Super Bowl LVIII.

As expected, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce is getting a lot of questions about Taylor Swift during his media appearances ahead of the Super Bowl.

 

While his focus is winning his third Super Bowl ring, Kelce understands where reporters are coming from given his relationship has been big worldwide news.

“I think it’s fair,” Kelce said. “I mean, everyone’s having fun with it. It’s not like you guys are up here teeing off on me left and right. Everybody’s having a good time with it. So, how could I be upset about it?”

While he has faced questions about his opponent in the Super Bowl, the San Francisco 49ers, and his own play, Kelce has been accommodating answering everything about Taylor Swift.

Whether it’s questions about what “era” he is in, a reference to Swift’s Eras Tour, or about his relationship in general, Kelce has answered them all with a smile.

Kelce has even mentioned to reporters in Las Vegas he’s heard some of Swift’s upcoming “The Tortured Poets Department” album, which she announced at the 2024 Grammys Sunday.

“She’s unbelievable,” Kelce told ESPN about Swift winning album of the year at the Grammys for a record fourth time. “She’s rewriting the history books. I told her I need to hold up my end of the bargain and bring home some hardware too.”

While Kelce and Swift are creating a worldwide buzz, Chiefs players, coaches and everyone in between can’t say enough about the tight end’s thought process heading into the team’s fourth Super Bowl in five seasons.

Kelce made it clear on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” they’re having fun with their relationship.

“It’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it?” Kelce told McAfee, who referenced the Chiefs star and Swift being in love. “Hopefully, everybody realizes that we’re just two people in a relationship supporting each other and having fun with it, man. It’s nothing more than that. And no matter how much the world wants to paint the picture and make us the enemy, we just have fun with it. We enjoy every single bit of it.”

The spotlight has been at its brightest this season for Kelce, especially with Swift becoming a regular in stadium suites to watch him play. While Kelce had a rough patch in the regular season — the Chiefs’ offense as a whole struggled — he’s been clutch with quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs, scoring three touchdowns in the last two games.

The persona behind the famed impersonator on coming out, being body shamed, and the joy of being TayTay. “Pag hindi ako si Taylor, nagkakaroon ako ng inner saboteur sa life.”

“Yes, I did the Eras Tour. I performed for almost one hour and 24 mins. I’m that Swiftie,” Filipino drag performer Taylor Sheesh, or Mac Coronel in real life, proudly declared on Twitter last May after a successful mall performance. The 28-year-old Taylor Swift impersonator has performed in various venues, and is willing to do more mall shows all over the country—if only to help convince the American pop country superstar and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter he idolizes to include the Philippines as one of the stops in her ongoing Eras tour.

For the amazing turnout in his past events, Mac got featured in international publications, among them Rollingstone, Mashable, The Guardian, Philadelphia Inquirer, and Barron’s. “Hindi pa ako nare-recognize ni Taylor,” Mac says, “pero mina-manifest ko yun.”

We don’t see Taylor Sheesh on the monitor when we meet our interviewee via Zoom this early Monday morning. We meet the guy who plays her. Mac just got off work at a call center in BGC. His face shows no touch of makeup and he’s garbed only in a white jacket over a grey polo shirt.

Mac used to hate wearing makeup, wigs, women’s outfits. “Medyo naiirita ako kasi ang kati-kati. Hindi ako comfortable,” he says laughing. But after years of impersonating Taylor, Mac’s gotten used to putting it all on: the fake hair, the dress, the nails, and the face.

His career as a drag performer started in 2017 when he and his besties attended Nectar Nightclub’s Poison Wednesdays Drag Cartel. Joining the club’s lip sync battle was unplanned, says Mac. But since he was dressed and his BFFs knew he’s game for anything, they pushed Mac to, as RuPaul would say, lip sync for his life.

“Siguro sobrang lakas lang ng stage presence ko that night at alam [ng mga friends ko na] masayahin ako kaya pinush nila ako,” she says. “Ako naman, sinubukan ko lang. Andun na rin lang e.” One of the contenders that night was Drag Race Season 1 cast member Viñas Deluxe but Mac was the crowd favorite. He came out as the evening’s top prize winner.

That same night, Nectar’s manager invited Mac to audition for a drag group who will perform at the club every Friday and Saturday. He got through the audition and from then on became a regular artist at Nectar, usually performing alongside the Drag Race queens from the US. Since he’s already a die-hard Swiftie, Mac naturally decided his act will be to impersonate Taylor Swift. And thus was born Taylor Sheesh.

When bars closed over the pandemic, Mac had no choice but to focus on his office job. But when the live entertainment scene began to reawaken, she went back to performing at Nectar. These days, however, Taylor Sheesh has been busy with her mall tours. Her July is fully booked. “Until now marami pa ring nag-i-inquire. Padagdag nang padagdag,” says Mac, obviously thrilled with the Filipino Swifties’ reception.

Since the guy still maintains his call center job, he only accepts gigs scheduled before his shift, which starts at 11PM. “Yung ibang shows natatapat ng 6pm to 8pm, so kahit paano may time to rest pa before work. Yung iba naman natatapat sa rest day ko, Thursday and Friday.”

Swiftie since 2009

Mac’s intro to the world of Taylor Swift was thru the song “Fifteen,” a song about the innocence of young love. At that time, he was, well, 15 and in junior high school. “May crush ako nun e,” he says, blushing at the recollection, “kaya super relate ako sa song na yun.”

The more he listened to Taylor’s songs, the more he got hooked. “Naging fan niya ako lalo nung ni-release ang Speak Now in 2010,” he tells us. His most favorite song by the award-winning singer is “Last Kiss,” which is about the end of a relationship.

Mac’s very own Eras Tour started when he attended a Swifties’ listening party at Market! Market! October of last year. “It was the very first listening party I attended. Pumunta ako dun na naka-drag costume as Taylor. Gusto ko lang siya ma-experience as an audience member,” he says. Then someone from Ayala Malls approached Mac and asked if he’d be game to perform onstage. Mac said yes. Being a performer,  he came prepared. Photos and videos of the performance went viral on social media.

What was it like performing as Taylor in front of so many people? “Noong una nakakakaba talaga,” says Mac. “Nakakakaba kasi what if ma-disappoint sila. Ganoon ang pumapasok sa isipan ko. Minsan talaga may self-doubt. Then nakita ko ang reaction ng mga Swifties. Mukhang worth it naman.”

Mac also got invited to perform at the release launch party of Taylor’s Midnights album at the SM Mall of Asia. That exploded on TikTok and other social media platforms and Taylor Sheesh’s popularity skyrocketed. Last Saturday, she was back at Market! Market! performing in front of a massive and energetic crowd.

One hour, 24 minutes

Doing a mall show entails serious preparation. Mac has a trusted mananahi who makes all of his Taylor costumes. But Mac’s the one who personally takes care of all other requirements—from the wig and makeup to the audio-video needs.

When Taylor Swift released the dates of the US leg of her Eras Tour, the admin of Swifties Philippines fan group invited Mac to perform at Ayala Malls Manila Bay. For that show, he had a silver swimsuit made. She also prepared a 30-minute show to the delight of local Taylor Swift fans.

Two months later, the same group hired his services again. They wanted to organize a bigger event, in the hopes that Taylor Swift would add a Philippine stop to her Eras Tour. The guys from Swifties Philippines suggested Mac do a costume change in their next mall event, the way TayTay does in her shows. So Mac requested her mananahi to make five costumes. “Pikit mata akong nagbayad para sa five outfits na yun,” Mac recalls with a laugh.

He studied all the lyrics, the hand gestures, the costume changes. That show was the much-talked about Taylor Sheesh Eras Tour at TriNoma. The show lasted an hour and 24 minutes. “Ang pahinga ko lang nun quick change. Two minutes lang kailangan para makapagpalit na ako ng damit. Yung ibang damit pa dun ball gown.”

Mac even had a show at Nectar the night before the TriNoma gig. He left the club at 6AM and was at the Quezon City mall around 7AM to rehearse the choreography and blocking with the dancers. By 10AM, he was done with rehearsals and spent the next two hours catching up on sleep.

By lunch time, he was up and busy prepping. Without a glam team to get him dolled up; it took him two hours to finish makeup. “Tinry kong kapalan ang makeup para kahit pagpawisan hindi kaagad siya huhulas.”

The show proved very tiring but, says Mac, it was all worth it: with the mileage it got, the Filipino Swifties got the international recognition they deserve.

The real Mac

Mac comes from a middle class family in Antipolo. His father is an auto electrician who runs a repair shop with his siblings, while his mother runs the Coronel household. Mac, a graduate of Computer Technology, is the eldest among three children.

We ask about his coming out story. “Actually hindi pa ako nag-come out ever [sa family ko],” Mac says, his tone turning serious. While he already knew he’s gay since his grade school years, there were no formal talks about it at home.

The first family member who found out was his youngest sister. She discovered a clip of her brother’s performance at Nectar on photographer and Drag Race Philippines judge BJ Pascual’s IG stories. “Bigla akong tinanong ng kapatid ko. Ako daw ba yun? At first, nag-deny muna ako. Noong una natakot talaga ako.”

Mac later got a message from a cousin, which surprised him. “Ang saya-saya niya kasi ang galing ko daw. Na-IG stories ako ni BJ.”

After that, Mac would sometimes wear a wig around the house, in front of his parents. “Hindi naman sila nagtatanong. Siguro aware na sila,” he says.

His TriNoma show in May was the first time his younger brother saw Mac perform in full drag. “After ng show, nung photo op na, lumapit ang kapatid ko. Magpapa-picture daw ang GF niya with me. [I had] mixed emotions. Hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman ko.”

When his performances went viral and articles were written about it, he just assumed his parents have seen them for sure. “Pero parang deadma pa rin,” he says. “Hindi ako nag-o-open talaga. If they ask me about it, then go. Pero yung mga kapatid ko, pinsan ko, accepted nila.”

At first, Mac would respond to the bashing, but he realized the haters will never stop. “Nakakapagod din, so dinededma ko na lang,” he says. Photo courtesy of Mac Coronel

Sheesh the one

What Mac considers one of the toughest struggles he had to deal with as a drag performer is the body shaming. “Yun ang pinaka nakakapag-trigger sa akin,” says the 5-ft, 7-inch-tall Mac who cuts quite a skinny figure. “Minsan nagsuot ako ng swimsuit costume at pinost ko sa social media, dun na nag-start ang body shaming.” He says he tried everything he could to gain weight, but the guy’s just naturally on the thin side. “Inaatake ako ng anxiety at insecurity when it comes to that.”

At first, Mac would respond to the bashing, but he realized the haters will never stop. So he simply blocks or ignores them on social media. “Nakakapagod din, so dinededma ko na lang,” he says.

Mac says he’s happiest when he’s playing Taylor Sheesh. “Pag hindi ako si Taylor, nagkakaroon ako ng inner saboteur sa life. Palaging may self-doubt,” she says. “Unlike pag naka-drag ako, parang tumataas ang confidence level ko. Lalo na pag maraming crowd, parang may ibang energy na sumasanib sa akin.” He laughs.

The die-hard Swiftie is thrilled to share he was able to secure a VIP ticket to one of Swift’s Singapore shows. This is first time he‘ll be able to watch her idol perform live. The last time Swift visited the Philippines in 2014, he just didn’t have the money for a ticket. “College pa lang ako nun. So ang mahal na sa akin ng P2,000. Nakanuod ako noon dahil may nag-livestream sa Twitter.”

Mac’s VIP ticket, which includes a hotel accommodation, turned out to cost P68,000. “Nung nakita ko ang price ng ticket, sabi ko sa sarili ko, ‘Okey, kailangan kumayod,’” he says. “Kasi once in a lifetime experience ito e. Money will return but Taylor won’t.”

Jason Kelce and Jackson Mahomes bumped into each other in Las Vegas on Saturday night as their Kansas City Chiefs star brothers, Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, prepared for Super Bowl LVIII.

While Travis and Patrick were getting an early night ahead of their showdown against the San Francisco 49ers, their brothers were hitting Sin City’s strip.

DailyMail.com photos showed Jason and Jackson greeting one another in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas hotel ahead of showing some brotherly love at Allegiant Stadium Sunday. –

The pair exchanged a handshake and a few words, while NFL fans swarmed around them with a few left star-struck at seeing Jason in the flesh.

Jason, the Philadelphia Eagles‘ star center, has flown in from the City of Brotherly Love this week and is set to put his own to the test as he cheers on tight end brother, alongside their mom Donna, his wife Kylie and Travis’s girlfriend Taylor Swift.

This time last year, the NFL veteran was getting ready to play in the big game himself with his Eagles facing Travis’s Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII – which was dubbed the Kelce Bowl after the two future Hall of Famers.

However, this year, the Eagles, who ultimately fell to the Chiefs in Arizona in 2023, stumbled at the first postseason hurdle.

Philadelphia was eliminated from the playoffs by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild card round with Jason now said to be considering retirement, which has led to rumored meetings with Fox and ESPN over a potential career in the broadcast booth.

Yet, while Jason’s Super Bowl dreams came to an end, he hasn’t stopped supporting Travis throughout the Chiefs’ road to Vegas, including a viral shirtless celebration against the Buffalo Bills.

This week, he has been soaking up all the bright light city of Las Vegas has to offer with wife Kylie, including Adele’s residency show on Friday night.

Meanwhile, Jackson, who is infamous for his antics on social media at his older brother’s NFL games, was also in Sin City for the big game.

He was surprisingly captured hanging out with Travis’ ex Kayla Nicole despite his sister-in-law Brittany’s friendship with the tight end’s new flame Taylor Swift.

Nicole has been in a rocky situation with members of Kansas City since her relationship with Kelce came to an end in 2022 but seemingly not Jackson.

According to TMZ, the two met up at the High Limit Lounge at the Aria Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday night and spent about an hour together.

The outlet’s sources say that the pair appeared to bump into each other, but other witnesses said it appeared to be more coordinated after Jackson was waiting for about a minute at the hotel’s bar.

TMZ says the conversation between the two was warm and they appeared to have an enthralling discussion.

Kayla recently unfollowed both Patrick and Brittany Mahomes on social media, saying that she wanted to ‘protect’ herself while her former boyfriend was dating pop superstar Taylor Swift.

The Mahomes trio have been prominent public figures since 2018 when Patrick won NFL MVP

‘I do think it’s important to publicly address this because I did publicly unfollow people,’ Kayla told People at the time. ‘The reality is I know these people in real life. And so, in real life, I’ve communicated to these people why I’ve had to publicly make the decisions that I made.

‘To everyone it’s like, “Oh, you broke up a year ago,” and that meant it’s like a light switch, you turn it on and off and everything goes dead and black and you don’t ever speak to anyone ever again. That’s not reality. I have ongoing relationships with all parties involved.’

The model added she and Brittany ‘have had our conversations,’ and that the wife of the two-time MVP ‘knows that I love her.’

But Jackson shared a somewhat strained moment with Brittany this weekend when he appeared to be denied access to a VIP section at an event where his sister-in-law was located during a Future concert.

Jackson visibly told a security guard he was the Chiefs quarterback’s younger brother, and therefore related to Brittany, while being denied access.

However, Brittany, who shares two children with signal caller Patrick, gave two obvious shrugs at her brother-in-law, then continued to dance to the rapper’s music.

Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey fans were left confused on Sunday when photos emerged of the two saying hello to each other at Super Bowl LVIII — with Swift inside her $1M suite and Del Rey on the outside.

The 34-year-old Karma hitmaker was spotted leaning over the ledge of her box suite seat to shake the 38-year-old songstress’ hand.

Lana – who recently shocked fans with an Instagram post — was on a lower level at Allegiant Stadium as she enjoyed the game from commercial seating.

Fans wasted no time taking to social media to hilariously question why Del Rey was not in the suite alongside the Eras artist.

And some came to the conclusion that it’s because the Video Games singer-songwriter is a hardcore 49ers fan, which Del Rey confirmed in a recent social media clip.

Another demanded, ‘Let Lana in your suite, Taylor!’ and someone else felt the same, writing, ‘Get Lana in that damn suite.’

There was also a social media user who joked, ‘I’m expecting Taylor to let her hair down like Rapunzel so that Lana can climb up into the suite.’

‘I am losing my mind of Lana not being in the suite,’ one person wrote in all caps.

One person predicted, ‘Watch people say that Taylor is being mean to Lana not letting her up in the suite with her.’

One X user wrote, ‘taylor swift throwing lana del rey out of the suite as she begs to come back up another act of villainy after the grammys incident,’ in reference to last week’s supposed Celine Dion snub.

One fan wrote emphatically, ‘HELP LET MY GIRL LANA IN THE SUITE.’

Another wrote dryly, ‘taylor the type to try to lift lana into the suite.’

Swift traveled from Tokyo to Los Angeles on Saturday after the Japanese leg of The Eras Tour wrapped, and made the journey to Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.

Also spotted in the million-dollar luxury suite was Scott Swift, Taylor’s father, who decked out in Chiefs gear.

The Super Bowl represents the largest Kelce-Swift family get-together in public since Taylor and Travis started dating in September.

Taylor attended all three of the Chiefs previous playoff wins this season, with her appearance in Las Vegas being the 13th of the season.

One unhappy person wanted to know ‘why is ice spice in the suite but not lana’

Another asked, ‘So Ice Spice” gets suite but Lana doesn’t????’

Someone took a jab at Del Rey, writing, ‘Lana couldn’t afford the 1 million dollar suite. Let’s be honest’

Swift introduced her pal and recent collaborator Ice Spice, who joined her in the suite on Sunday, to boyfriend Travis Kelce’s brother Jason Kelce.

The pop star was spotted making the introduction as she reunited with the Philadelphia Eagles star, 36.

Ice Spice, real name Isis Gaston, looked cheery as she sported her signature orange curly afro.

The 24-year-old rapper was dressed in a black Balenciaga turtleneck with an open-back design.

With the run she’s having, how could Taylor Swift be on anything other than the winning side?

She embraced her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the couple locked lips on the field at Allegiant Stadium after his Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in the Super Bowl.

Moments earlier, Swift smiled with her eyes looking misty from tears as she stood next to Kelce’s mother while he held aloft the Lombardi Trophy, shouting “Chiefs nation!” and bellowing a chorus of “Viva Las Vegas.”

Minutes before that, she was smothered by celebrity suite mates, who at various points included Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey, when the Chiefs scored the winning touchdown in overtime, set up by a key reception by Kelce for a first down.

It was the second straight Super Bowl win for the Chiefs, but the first since Swift became fan-in-chief. She and Kelce began dating shortly before the season started.

It completes an epic stretch for Swift, who won album of the year a week earlier for a record fourth time at the Grammys, where she also announced a new album dropping in April before jetting off to Japan for a series of stadium shows.

Better than Whitney? How was Reba’s national anthem?

Soon after flying halfway around the world to get to the game, she strolled through security to enter the stadium along with Lively, Ice Spice and her mom, Andrea Swift. She cuddled with Lively during Post Malone’s performance of “America the Beautiful” and won what appeared to be a beer chugging contest, slamming her cup down to an appreciative roar from the fans.

She was spotted talking to Kelce’s brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in one of the private boxes that reportedly cost more than $1 million. Del Rey joined the celeb-packed suite in time to catch Usher’s halftime show.

Swift flew on a private plane across nine time zones and the international date line from the last of four shows at the Tokyo Dome to arrive about two hours before kickoff. The time change allowed her to land in Los Angeles and make the final hop to Las Vegas.

The 14-time Grammy winner walked in wearing a black outfit with a red jacket slung over her shoulder, apparently getting the memo from Kelce and many of the Chiefs. He wore a shimmering black suit, quarterback Patrick Mahomes wore a sharp black suit of his own, and even Chiefs coach Andy Reid wore a black blazer as the Chiefs leaned into the role of the villains.

“Anti-Hero” also happens to be the lead single from Swift’s Grammy-winning album, “Midnights.”

“She’s unbelievable. She’s rewriting the history books herself,” Kelce said a day after the Grammys. “I told her I’ll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with hardware, too.”

Swift began dating Kelce after he said on his “New Heights” podcast that he had tried and failed to give her a friendship bracelet during her performance at Arrowhead Stadium. Kelce then invited her to watch him perform at the home of the Chiefs, and she surprisingly showed up for their Week 2 game against Chicago.

Swift soon became a regular at games, both home and away, frequently sitting with Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Swift occasionally brought along friends, including Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds.

“Having Taylor as a new Chiefs fan is very unique,” Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said during Super Bowl week. “I don’t ever do an interview without someone asking me about it. I think a lot of players and coaches on the team are in the same boat. The most important thing is we’re happy for the two of them that they have found each other and have such a special relationship.”

There was plenty of star power besides Swift for the NFL’s marquee night. Usher’s halftime show included guest performers Alicia Keys, Ludacris and Lil Jon. Reba McEntire sang the national anthem. Beyoncé, who was also at the game, appeared in a commercial and dropped a pair of new songs in the second half.

Few were under a brighter spotlight than Swift, though. Her dash from Tokyo, where she promised fans that “we’re all gonna go on a great adventure,” had Swifties around the world watching online flight trackers, while her boyfriend seemed to get as many questions about his relationship as the game during the run-up to kickoff.

Asked to explain the intense interest, Kelce replied: “I think the values we stand for and just who we are as people — we love to shine light on others, shine light on the people that help and support us, and on top of that, I think we both just love life.”

Kelce and Swift won’t have a whole lot of time together to celebrate. She is due back across the Pacific later this week. The international leg of her Eras Tour resumes Friday night in Australia with the first of three shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

“This week is truly the best kind of chaos,” she posted Wednesday on Instagram.

There’s no denying Super Bowl LVIII is about more than just the Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the San Francisco 49ers. Sure, sports fans everywhere are tuning in to see who wins the Big Game, but there’s also a whole contingent of Swifties getting into football for a chance at a glance of their favorite pop star and her celebrity crew.

On Sunday, February 11, Blake Lively arrived at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas alongside Taylor Swift and Ice Spice. Swift, who’s attending the game to support her boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, brought her friends along with her, and their outfits did not disappoint.

While Swift went with head-to-toe black and sparkle, Lively showed team spirit by wearing a two-piece Adidas tracksuit in Kansas City red. She paired the matching jacket and pants with a ribbed white cropped tank and chunky gold jewelry. She also opted for big ’90s curls swept to the side for maximum volume. The overall effect is very Sporty Spice meets supermodel.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Lively has accompanied Taylor Swift to a football game. Back in October, the actress, who’s slated to star in the highly-anticipated film adaption of Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us, joined Swift; her husband, Ryan Reynolds; and a group of other celebs to cheer on Travis Kelce at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey when the Chiefs played the New York Jets.

 

In case you missed it, Taylor Swift is at the Super Bowl — and she didn’t just bring along her posse, she brought a not-so-subtle, very sparkly tribute to her tight end beau, Travis Kelce. While her red jacket had the number 60 (a nod to the Kansas City Chiefs being established in 1960), her blingy diamond necklace was very much a tribute to her boyfriend. Swift arrived at the game in an all-black fit (minus the Chiefs red jacket) and accessorized it with a diamond and yellow gold “87” pendant necklace by Stephanie Gottlieb as well as a diamond tennis choker in rose gold from the brand.

Kelce wears number 87, which would explain the number hanging from Swift’s necklace. Like other WAGs, she’s not above giving her man a little love. On the other side of today’s rivalry, Olivia Culpo wore a coat with her fiancé Christian McCaffrey’s number 60 on the back.

Swift’s friends are also falling in formation for the Super Bowl. Blake Lively, one of the singer’s closest friends, wore a red tracksuit to the big game, another homage to the Chiefs’ signature color. Swift and Lively had a few other of their pals join them in their suite, which was reportedly a perk paid for by Kelce to the tune of $2 million. Ice Spice, Lana del Rey, and Brittany Mahomes took in the show from the VIP level alongside Swift and Lively.

Travis Kelce had a very important question at a Super Bowl afterparty on Sunday night — and he used Taylor Swift’s song “You Belong With Me” to ask it.

Swift, 34, and Kelce, 34, celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win on Sunday night at Zouk nightclub at Resorts World in Las Vegas.

As seen in a video on TikTok, The Chainsmokers DJed the event, and played Swift’s 2008 hit in honor of the Chiefs’ victory and her presence in the club.

Kelce can be seen singing along to the song in the video. When the tight end got to the chorus, he made a pivotal change to the lyrics.

“Are you in love with me?” he sang in the video as he pointed to himself, instead of singing, “You belong with me.” Kelce was in the DJ booth with The Chainsmokers at the time and danced along to the club remix of the song before pulling Drew Taggert into a hug.

“I didn’t know if I should play it or not,” Taggert said to Kelce per a caption in the video.

The Chainsmokers “moved a song in the setlist up for the occasion,” which was “worth it,” according to the video caption.

As for Swift, she didn’t appear to be in the DJ booth while “You Belong With Me” played. The person Kelce turned to as he sang “Are you in love with me?” was off-camera.

However, Keleigh Teller shared another angle of the scene on TikTok, with Swift seen pointing at Kelce. Swift sang along, pointed and raised her glass at someone when the lyrics “Why can’t you see/you belong with me” played.

“Was it electric?” Kelce asked the “Love Story” singer.

“It was unbelievable…that was the craziest thing I’ve ever experienced,” Swift replied.

The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 at Allegiant Stadium, securing back-to-back Lombardi Trophies.

Taylor Swift, the renowned singer, has made impressive investments in real estate throughout her career while also achieving great success in the music industry. At just 20 years old, she purchased a home worth nearly $2 million USԀ. From there, she continued to acquire valuable properties across America.

 

Recently, Taylor Swift launched her highly anticipated “The Eras” music tour, which has already garnered significant attention in the global music market. The tour has been an instant success, with the prestigious Billboard chart predicting that it will generate a “huge” revenue of $591 million USԀ, surpassing Madonna’s record for the highest-grossing tour of all time.

In addition to her musical achievements, Taylor Swift has amassed a remarkable collection of villas worth up to $81 million USԀ, solidifying her position as one of the world’s leading artists.

Her real estate ventures began with the purchаse of a $1.99 million home on Nashville’s Music Row when she was just 20 years old. Overlooking the city, the apartment spanned 3,240 square meters and featured amenities such as a heated Olympic-length swimming pool and a personal trainer.

In 2011, Taylor acquired a Greek Revival-style villa in the Forest Hills suburb, boasting four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a guest house with an impressive outdoor pool, all totaling nearly 500 square meters.

She also owned a $3.55 million home in Beverly Hills, although she later sold it. In 2013, at the age of 24, Taylor purchased a magnificent 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom mansion in Rhode Island’s Watch Hill for $17.75 million. This beachfront property has become a popular venue for Taylor’s gatherings with her famous friends.

In 2014, Taylor Swift bought two penthouses in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood for $20 million USԀ. With her architectural knowledge, she combined the two apartments into a single luxurious unit with ten bedrooms and ten bathrooms.

The most valuable property in Taylor’s portfolio, acquired in 2015, is a lavish villa previously owned by Hollywood legend Samuel Goldwyn. This property, purchased for $25 million USԀ, features seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a swimming pool, a private cinema, and a tennis court.

Taylor Swift’s real estate choices often incorporate classic features, with a primary white tone complemented by wooden decorations, creating a gentle and impressive atmosphere throughout her homes.

Continuing her investments, Taylor purchased a house on Tribeca Street for $18 million in preparation for the release of her album “Reputation” in 2017. Additionally, in 2018, she acquired another apartment in the same building for $9.75 million, bringing her total holdings on Tribeca Street to an estimated $47.7 million USԀ.

At 33 years old, Taylor Swift’s achievements extend beyond her successful music career. With her “The Eras Tour” and estimated fortune of $570 million USԀ according to Forbes, she has solidified her position as one of the most powerful female pop icons in the world. Her concerts have broken records, including attracting a crowd of 70,000 attendees over two nights in Glendale, surpassing Madonna’s previous record.

Taylor Swift’s journey is a testament to her talent, business acumen, and ongoing success, leaving fans eager to see what she will accomplish next.
