Travis Kelce and pop superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift were both named among the nominees for this year´s Webby Awards, recognizing the best internet content and creators.

 

The International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences announced the nominees on Tuesday, the result of 13,000 entries from over 70 countries, according to The Associated Press.

The Kansas City Chiefs star got a nomination in the best sports podcast category for teaming up with his brother Jason for their New Heights podcast.

Travis and his legendary Philadelphia Eagles center brother are also nominated in the Best Co-Hosts category.

Meanwhile, Swift shared an Instagram message encouraging her 283 million followers to register to vote was nominated in the best creator or influencer category. The website she directed her fans to – the nonpartisan Vote.org – recorded more than 35,000 registrations, according to the organization.

The NFL’s power couple aren’t the only famous couple with Michelle Obama getting a nod for her ‘The Light Podcast,’ while her husband, former President Barack Obama, was nominated for his work with LinkedIn.

The awards are selected by the Academy, while The Webby People´s Voice Award is voted on by fans around the world.

Voting for that award is open now until April 18. Winners for all awards will be announced May 13 at a ceremony hosted by “Late Night with Seth Meyers” writer and comedian Amber Ruffin.

Last November, the Kelces’ New Heights show was crowned Spotify’s No. 1 sports podcast in the world for 2023.

New Heights was also the top sports podcast in America and the top American football podcast in the US, per Spotify.

The show’s meteoric rise continued last month when the popular NFL duo scooped Podcast of the Year at the iHeart Radio Awards. It beat out the likes of My Favorite Murder and SmartLess to win Podcast of the Year.

Neither brother was in attendance at the ceremony in Austin, Texas, but they did record a video message for the audience, in which Travis joked: ‘Get the f*** outta here… people actually listen to this?’

Jason then went on to thank Taylor Swift’s fans for voting for them to win – amid his brother Travis’ high profile relationship with the pop superstar.

 

 

Taylor swift and Travis Kelce took a cross-country hop to spend Easter Sunday with Jason and Kylie and their family at their home in Pennsylvania.

 

 

 

 

And Swift took another step into the heart of the Kelce clan as, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal, Kelce’s adorable nieces, Bennie, 1, Elliotte, 3 and Wyatt, 4, were introduced to their Auntie Tay for the first time.

Kelce, also 34, and his Pennsylvania-born pop princess jetted in from Los Angeles Sunday morning for the flying visit to Jason’s home in the upscale enclave of Haverford Township just nine miles outside Philadelphia city center.

Kelce and Swift no doubt took part in the family’s annual Easter egg hunt – an Easter tradition that Swift has always enthusiastically embraced.

In 2015, then 25, Swift posted a 29-second video to her Instagram account in which she could be seen scrambling around her parents’ yard, fighting with younger brother Austin, 23, in a fierce bid to find more Easter eggs than him.

She posted it with the captioned: ‘When your parents arrange a competitive sibling Easter egg hunt failing to take into account that their children are Ross and Monica,’ a reference to the characters on Friends.

Kelce and Swift are believed to have stayed at the Four Seasons after enjoying the day with Jason and his family.

On previous visits, Swift has stayed at The Ritz Carlton and has been seen dining at the Four Season’s Jean-Georges restaurant.

They flew back to the west coast Monday morning landing at Burbank airport and deplaning amid a thicket of umbrellas around 1:30pm local time.

The couple has been all but inseparable since Swift returned to the States having completed the Australia and Asia legs of her monster Eras Tour last month and recently came back from a sun-filled vacation on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera.

 

 

 

As Travis Kelce has planned the return of his music festival, Kelce Jam, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said he learned to ‘not try and be Taylor’ after spending the last several months in a whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift.

 

Kelce attended several shows of ‘The Eras Tour’ which has been Swift’s global, record-setting stadium run. Swift has had shows in Argentina, Singapore, and Australia attended by Kelce. ‘Don’t try and be Taylor, that’s what I learned,’ Kelce said. ‘Yeah, she’s on a whole other stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason. It’s because she’s so articulate and just very dialed into every single thing that she does.

‘And that’s the beauty of it. I’d be silly if I ever tried to take anything from what she does, other than just enjoy the people that show up. I think that’s one thing I could probably take away: She really relates to the people she’s performing in front of, and so I’ll take that,’ Kelce continued. Swift also had a large presence at Kelce’s game this season.

 

The 14-time Grammy Award winner attended 13 Chiefs games this season, with the team holding a 10-3 record in those games.

Swift was in attendance at all four Chiefs playoff victories, all taking place in different cities.

Lil Wayne, Diplo and 2 Chainz are the headlining artists for the second-annual Kelce Jam.

Swift does not have a show on the ‘Eras Tour’ on May 18, but will be performing in Portugal on May 24 and 25.

 

 

 

Before her son Jason Kelce told his teammates he was retiring from football, Donna Kelce reflected on what made the Philadelphia Eagles center so great.

 

She focused not on his status as a likely future Hall of Famer, but the heart he brought to the game – and how much his team’s city loves him.

“It’s exciting to see how Philadelphia has embraced him,” Donna Kelce, the mom of brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, said in an interview with TODAY.com before Jason announced his retirement. “Jason is a special individual, where, you know, somebody telling him he can’t do it is a fire that drives him.”

Jason Kelce’s retirement

After the Philadelphia Eagles’ season-ending 32-9 playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Jan. 15, Jason Kelce told his teammates that he has decided to retire, the NFL confirmed.

Younger brother Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs who is dating Taylor Swift, is still in Super Bowl contention.

“I just am really, really thrilled that both cities really feel very attached to both Jason and Travis,” Donna Kelce says, reflecting on her sons’ NFL careers. “They’re very much larger-than-life human beings that attract really great people all around them. It’s really fun.”

When Travis and Jason Kelce fought …

Despite the headlines, the viral recipes and of course, pictures with Taylor Swift, Donna Kelce insists: She’s just a mom.

In a wide-ranging interview with TODAY.com, the woman known as “Mama Kelce” talked about what it was like raising two professional athletes who were “a handful” growing up.

Her secret for getting them to settle down and stop fighting back then? Just one word: “Dad!”

“That was it,” she tells TODAY.com. “Once they got to a certain size, I couldn’t do anything.”

The brothers have “always been close,” she says.

“If somebody said something bad about their brother, they would be the first to defend them,” she says.

But they also felt a sense of “sibling rivalry” growing up.

“There just is, you’re constantly fighting in the pecking order, and that’s just the way families are,” she says. “I think a lot of people try to stop that. But some of it’s kind of good because you get to understand how to relate to people.”

They stopped physically fighting when they were in high school.

“Once they were the same height and the same weight, it was done, because it was equal, and they were going to hurt each other,” she says. “There’s always one fight, and it’s the last one.”

 

Taylor Swift has recently shared the juicy details of her romance with Travis Kelce, including their eventful first date. While Taylor may not be the type to throw herself at someone during an NFL game, her encounter with Travis certainly had its own twists and turns. 

It all started at the 2023 Super Bowl, where Travis Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, defeated Taylor’s hometown team. Little did Taylor know, this encounter would kickstart something special. Travis, a six-foot-tall NFL tight end, decided to make a move during one of Taylor’s concerts, armed with a friendship bracelet bearing his phone number. Unfortunately, Taylor’s strict pre-show routine meant he couldn’t deliver it in person. Despite the missed opportunity, fate had other plans.

Their paths crossed again, this time with Taylor dazzling on stage while Travis watched from the VIP box. But how did they transition from mere acquaintances to a power couple? The signs were there, as Travis couldn’t contain his laughter when Taylor’s name came up in an interview. Behind the scenes, they spent over a month together in New York before publicly attending a Chiefs game, igniting rumors of romance.

The speculation reached a fever pitch as they were spotted together at the game, with Taylor even cheering for Travis’s team alongside his mother. Commentators couldn’t help but mention the potential love connection, and soon, the truth emerged. Taylor and Travis were indeed an item, with their first date taking place in a private dining room in New York City between stops on Taylor’s tour. Despite initial nerves and doubts, their chemistry was undeniable. Taylor took the bold step of reaching out first, setting the stage for a whirlwind romance. As they began to navigate their newfound relationship, they found solace in each other’s company, bonding over shared values and experiences.

Their love story quickly made headlines, with fans speculating about their future together. Travis, enamored by Taylor, spared no expense in creating memorable moments for them. From exclusive dinners to public appearances, their romance blossomed against all odds. Taylor, known for her private life, took a leap of faith with Travis, embracing their relationship wholeheartedly. As they continue to grow closer, surrounded by supportive friends and family, the future looks promising for this dynamic duo.

 

 

Taylor Swift was officially named a billionaire by Forbes in April 2024 — less than two decades after she made her 2006 music industry debut.

 

The global pop star had a record-breaking 2023, including boosting the economy with her Eras Tour and being crowned Time’s Person of the Year, but she has been making many smart business moves for many years in order to secure her fortune. Here’s a look at everything Swift has done to garner a $1.1 billion net worth by the age of 34.

Ahead of Scooter Braun selling Swift’s masters for more than $300 million in a controversial deal, the Grammy winner announced plans to re-record her first five albums. Swift — who signed with Universal Music Group in 2018 after kicking off her career under Big Machine Records — has since released new “Taylor’s Version” albums for “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red” and “1989.” She is rumored to be dropping the re-recorded version of “Reputation” sometime in 2024.

Aside from her old records, however, Swift has also seen major success with her new albums —Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), Evermore (2020) and Midnights (2022) — under Universal Music Group. The hard-working pop star recently shocked fans in February when she announced she is releasing another album — “The Tortured Poets Department” — on April 19, 2024. As of 2019, Swift has earned $400 million from her music catalog alone, Bloomberg reports. Swift reportedly made close to $130 million from her streams on Spotify alone in 2023.

Per Variety, she accumulated a total of about 26.1 billion streams last year, and based on an average of $0.0035 cents per listen, she would have earned the whopping total sum by that December. However, it is likely that amount is even larger because — as Billboard previously pointed out — there are other streaming services such as Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Music, pushing that total closer to an estimated $160 million.

Swift has reportedly made $80 million from her music royalties, according to Bloomberg. Royalties are accrued when copyrighted music is used in other licensing deals, such as movies and commercials, and therefore a compensatory payment is made to the rights holders such as songwriters, composers and recording artists.

Her songs have been featured in shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” and movies including “Fifty Shades Darker” and “The Hunger Games,” as well as various commercials and campaigns. Swift’s Eras Tour became the highest grossing tour by any musician of all time, earning more than $1 billion, according to Rolling Stone.

The outlet reported in December 2023 that Swift sold about 4.3 million tickets at an average price of $238. Bloomberg estimated in October 2023 that the “Wildest Dreams” singer grossed more than $700 million in ticket sales and $225 million in just tour merchandise, making her $370 million in profit after taxes. Callie Cox, a financial analyst for investment company eToro, told The Post Swift’s Eras Tour show stops have boosted the local economies of each city.

“Every weekend, the city that she visits releases the data around hotel occupancies and just the amount of money generated for each local economy — and it’s in the millions,” Cox said in June 2023. Swift’s impressive real estate portfolio has undoubtedly contributed to her overall wealth. The “Blank Space” singer owns five homes across the US, totaling approximately $150 million.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Swift’s first investment was a 3,240-square-foot penthouse on Nashville’s Music Row at the Adelicia condominium for $1.9 million, which she bought at age 19.

 

Pop megastar Taylor Swift has gotten into the heads of conservatives and right-wing Americans lately, as they have called her out for, quote on quote, ‘ruining the minds of young women’ with her music and also by making them despise the NFL after she appeared on the scene since her romance with Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce began.

 

 

 

 

 

One of Swift’s most prominent ‘haters’ is African-American conservative commentator Candace Owens, who recently said on her program on The Daily Wire network ‘Backstage,’ that the singer-songwriter ‘is completely insane.’

During her intervention in the show, Owens said that for her, Taylor Swift is ‘the most toxic feminist that has ever existed.’Obviously, if you’ve seen what she’s even done in business and how she tries to manipulate her audiences to get out of deals and contracts, she’s totally insane. She’s the most toxic feminist that’s ever existed.Kelce, however, is not currently in Australia. “I am not planning anything after this Super Bowl; I am just focused on this game right now. But I’d love to experience down under,” he admitted prior to the Super Bowl.

 

It wouldn’t be surprising if the perennial Pro Bowler decides to make the trip to Australia to spend quality time with his partner.

Taylor Swift has laid dowп the law iп her relatioпship with Travis Kelce aпd the NFL star isп’t too happy with some of them, accordiпg to a report.

They theп departed from the Veпetiaп hotel iп a party bυs to coпtiпυe their wild пight elsewhere oп the city’s icoпic strip.

It comes after Swift laid dowп the law iп their their relatioпship aпd set Kelce some rυles for him to follow.

Aпd пow six moпths iпto their relatioпship, the soпgstress reportedly feels she’s iп a positioп to be able to establish some groυпd rυles.

Travis is believed to be oп board with most of the rυles bυt some reportedly have him rolliпg his eyes. Oпe of Taylor’s пew rυles prohibits the Sυper Bowl wiппer from goiпg to strip clυbs, which he is ‘fiпe’ with, bυt aпother baппiпg him from posiпg with female faпs left him exasperated, a soυrce told Life & Style.

The football player appears to υпderstaпd Taylor’s пeed aпd taleпt for shapiпg her $1.1billioп pυblic image bυt reportedly sometimes feels the пeed to draw the liпe.

‘He has пo iпterest iп playiпg a calcυlated media game if it’s goiпg to make him thiпk twice aboυt every move he makes. That’s пot his style,’ adds the soυrce. Kelce was spotted weariпg a t-shirt from a famoυs Las Vegas strip clυb iп November oп his way oυt of Allegiaпt Stadiυm after his Chiefs team beat the Raiders.

The tight eпd took a momeпt to greet faпs oп his way oυt aпd there was, as always, pleпty of atteпtioп oп what Taylor Swift’s boyfrieпd was weariпg – giveп his love of fashioп.

Aпd his shirt raised some eyebrows, as jυdgiпg by oпe faп’s posts across social media, it had the words ‘Crazy Horse, Las Vegas’ emblazoпed across it – the пame of the Siп City strip clυb, Crazy Horse 3. It has beeп coпfirmed to that Kelce was пot weariпg it as part of a paid eпdorsemeпt – it was his owп choice to have it oп.

Taylor also allegedly expects her NFL beaυ to FaceTime her, iпstead of textiпg her, while they’re separated by their sυccessfυl careers. However, this isп’t as rυle as sυch, bυt rather a hiпt or reqυest.

‘She didп’t overtly say it, bυt she secretly waпts to see where he is aпd who he’s with. Taylor’s a good jυdge of character aпd fears that some of his bυddies are red flags,’ the soυrce claimed to the oυtlet.

 

 

Does Travis Kelce have a baby on the brain? Some think the Kansas City Chiefs tight end may be so smitten with his girlfriend Taylor Swift that it’s a possibility, after the NFL star playfully hinted at a potential baby name (should he have children, of course). During the latest episode of the pro footballer and his brother Jason Kelce’s sports podcast New Heights, which was released on Wednesday, April 3, Arnold Schwarzenegger joined the athletes as a special guest (whom supporters first believed could potentially be the pop star when the cohosts previously teased that a mystery person would be joining the show). As the siblings discussed the actor’s collection of films, Travis quipped, “I might name my first kid Conan. I might,” referring to 1982’s Conan the Barbarian.

 

Though Travis does not yet have any children of his own, he certainly has extensive experience with tots, as evidenced by his several sweet moments with his nieces, and multiple filmed encounters with other various little ones-whether young fans, kid reporters, or even random babies. As for his relationship with the “Cruel Summer” singer, which continues to blossom, he opened up about being the “happiest [he’s] ever been” in a recent interview with People, saying, “My glass is all the way full.” “I’m oozing life right now,” he added. So if his sentiments are anything to go by, everything is going swell between the couple, who was first linked to each other in summer 2023. The pair recently enjoyed a “lovely” vacation in the Bahamas.

But whether the three-time Super Bowl champ sees becoming a dad as a development that could be in his near future or not, Swifties are hoping he and the “Lavender Haze” singer are endgame, regardless.

And Swift took another step into the heart of the Kelce clan as, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal, Kelce’s adorable nieces, Bennie, 1, Elliotte, 3 and Wyatt, 4, were introduced to their Auntie Tay for the first time.

Kelce, also 34, and his Pennsylvania-born pop princess jetted in from Los Angeles Sunday morning for the flying visit to Jason’s home in the upscale enclave of Haverford Township just nine miles outside Philadelphia city center.

Exclusive images obtained by DailyMail.com show their car parked in the driveway of Jason’s charming stone home which has a wraparound deck and is set on an acre of landscaped gardens complete with large patio and swimming pool.

Pictures showed the couple totally at ease and enjoying time together on the beach.

In one picture Kelce lay sunbathing, with one hand affectionately placed on Swift’s bikini-clad posterior. In others they enjoyed cocktails in the surf.

Swift’s next concert date isn’t until May 9, in Paris, and Kelce is expected to join his girlfriend for at least some of her European tour dates.

Meanwhile the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is currently enjoying some well-earned downtime following the team’s February Super Bowl win in Las Vegas.

Organized team activities don’t begin again until off-season workouts start at the end of May.

Kelce and Swift thrilled their legion of fans with cute Easter posts on their official fan pages on Sunday.

Kelce’s featured the grinning footballer wearing a bunny ears hat beneath the simple message ‘Happy Easter.’

He had perhaps learnt the lesson that simple is best after recently having to delete a 2010 Easter post in which Kelce, then an unknown playing for the University of Cincinnati, wrote, ‘happy Easter to all!!! #shoutout to Jesus for takin one for the team…haha.’

Meanwhile on Swift’s official fan page @taylornation, her management featured adorable footage of the singer, aged one, being held in her mother, Andrea’s arms while wearing a pink and white fuzzy bunny onesie complete with bunny ears. The silent clip shows a timestamp of March 14, 1990.
