The romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has taken the globe by storm. The unlikely pairing between the pop music superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning tight end has traversed sports to create all kinds of headlines in recent months.

 

Rumors are still swirling that the pair could get engaged soon, but they are both rather busy — Kelce with various offseason activities, Swift with preparations for the next leg of her epic “Eras Tour.”

One of Kelce’s activities includes organizing Kelce Jam, a music festival in Kansas City that will take place next month. Ahead of the event — being held for the second year running — Kelce sat down with Entertainment Tonight to talk about the festival and how Swift has opened his eyes to the possibilities inherent in musicmaking.

 

Travis on Taylor’s process: It’s a musical education

Thank you for watching

Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs, told ET that dating Swift has revealed similarities he did not expect — such as their passion for what they do and the support they show one another.

“I think we’re both very career-driven, I think we both love what we do,” Kelce said. “Any chance that I can show my support to her, knowing that she’s shown me all the support in the world throughout the season, it’s definitely been fun to experience her taste in music.”

Kelce has accompanied Swift to several shows on her lengthy tour, including her dates in Buenos Aires, Singapore, and Sydney. Swift, the writer of hits like “Karma”, ” Lover”, and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, attended 13 Chiefs games during the 2023 NFL season — including their victory in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

“She’s so amazing at what she does, and to find that creativity, to see where she likes to pull things from, and just really how she listens to music is very eye-opening to me,” Kelce said, conceding it has been like a crash-course in music.

What is “Kelce Jam”?

Kelce spoke in advance of Kelce Jam on May 18, which will be held at the Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City. Rappers Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz were successfully recruited for the event and will be headliners, while disc jockey Diplo will also perform. Swift will be in Stockholm, Sweden, for the European leg of her tour.

The festival is slated to run for seven hours into the evening of May 18 and will promote local restaurants, with Kelce hopeful of attracting more than 20,000 attendees who showed up in 2023.

During his time in Los Angeles, Travis Kelce was spotted sweating through a workout with celebrity fitness trainer Laurence Ng on Wednesday.

Travis has been in California enjoying time with girlfriend Taylor Swift at her $25million Los Angeles mansion.

The couple has found more time for each other after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory in February ended the NFL season and with a break from Swift’s international Eras Tour.

Also in Los Angeles was Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, as the two went out for dinner in Hollywood.

During the workout, Travis can be seen doing strength training through balancing work with poles and against a wall.

Travis can also be seen running on a few treadmills and up a ramp.

It is unclear how much Swift and Kelce worked out on their recent vacation to the Bahamas, so getting back in tip-top shape is paramount for the Chiefs star.

Ng has trained several other celebrities including New York Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton and NFL legend Terrell Owens.

Ng posted photos from a few Chiefs games this season, including the team’s season opener against the Detroit Lions.

Kelce was also spotted with Ng, Patrick Mahomes, and musical group The Chainsmokers in Las Vegas last year.

Global music icon Rihanna recently opened up about her most cherished dream: the desire to welcome a daughter into her family. Despite her myriad accomplishments in the worlds of music, fashion, and beauty, the Barbadian superstar revealed that her heart’s deepest longing is to experience the joys of motherhood with a daughter of her own.

In a candid interview, Rihanna shared her heartfelt sentiments, expressing her longing for a daughter to complete her family. The Grammy-winning artist, who already shares a close bond with her two sons, revealed that the idea of adding a little girl to their family dynamic fills her with a sense of joy and anticipation.

The dream of having a daughter is one that Rihanna holds dear to her heart, often finding herself drawn to baby girl clothing shops and imagining the possibility of welcoming a third child into her life. Despite the challenges and uncertainties that come with parenthood, Rihanna remаins steadfast in her desire to fulfill this cherished dream.

For Rihanna, the prоspect of raising a daughter represents an opportunity to impart wisdom, instill values, and nurture a strong, independent spirit. As a trailblazing figure in the entertainment industry, she hopes to inspire her daughter to fearlessly pursue her dreams and embrace her individuality with confidence and grace.

Beyond the glitz and glamour of her superstar status, Rihanna cherishes the simple joys of family life and the bonds of love that unite them. The prоspect of adding a daughter to her family fills her with a profound sense of fulfillment and purpose, igniting her maternal instincts and fueling her desire to create a loving and nurturing environment for her children.

 

As Rihanna continues to make her mark on the world stage with her music, fashion, and philanthropic endeavors, her dream of welcoming a daughter remаins a steadfast beacon of hope and aspiration. With her unwavering determination and boundless love, Rihanna is poised to embrace motherhood with open arms and a heart full of dreams for the future.

 

While the journey to motherhood may present its challenges and uncertainties, Rihanna’s unwavering faith and determination serve as a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the enduring bond between a mother and her child. As she continues to pursue her dreams and aspirations, Rihanna’s greatest joy lies in the prоspect of welcoming a daughter into her loving embrace and guiding her on a journey of love, laughter, and endless possibilities.

Jason Kelce will not be at his brother Travis’ Kelce Jam music festival on May 18 in Kansas City.

On Tuesday, the Chiefs star announced the return of the Kelce Jam, headlined by Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz. This year’s festival will run from 5 PM – 12 AM at The Azura Amphitheater and feature booths from partners including Wingstop, Uber Eats, Casa Azul, and Medium Rare.

Jason, however, will miss the festivities as he helps host the Eagles Autism Challenge in Philadelphia on the same day. On Tuesday, the recently-retired Eagles center sent a special message to fans to promote the charity event.

‘What’s up Eagles fans,’ he said. ‘If you’re like me, you’re excited for the Eagles Autism Challenge this year. You can run, walk, do what you want, really. As long as you enter and come on board, you can help support Eagles Autism-related care and research. And let me tell you, this community needs it.’

‘We love your support. We’d love to see you come on out [on] May 18th. Please stop by.’

Taylor Swift will also miss the Kelce Jam due to her Eras tour being in Sweden late in May 

In 2023, the Kelce Jam was highlighted by Kelce’s viral spike of the Lombardi Trophy during an on-stage performance with Machine Gun Kelly. Last year’s lineup featured Loud Luxury, Rick Ross, and Tech N9ne.

Jason and Travis’ mother, Donna, also memorably danced on stage in front of thousands.

Unfortunately, Travis’ popstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, will also miss the Kelce Jam. Their romance flooded headlines this past NFL season after making their relationship public in late September.

Swift’s record-breaking Eras tour will start its European leg on May 19. On the 18th, the show will be on Scandinavian soil as the 14-time Grammy winner takes the stage in Stockholm.

As for Kelce, the festival will be his last hurrah before OTA offseason workouts begin for the Chiefs ahead of their title defense and three-peat attempt.

 

Blue Ivy and Rumi, the adorable daughters of music power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z, couldn’t contain their excitement as they bounded around with glee at Suρer Bowl LVI in Inglewood.

 

Their joy reached new heights when they realized their dad, Jay-Z, wasn’t just another spectator but was actually capturing moments behind the lens as he took personal photos at the event.

 

With each snap, their infectious laughter filled the air, echoing the excitement of the electrifying game. Blue Ivy, with her natural charisma, and Rumi, with her irresistible charm, made for a dynamic duo, drawing attention from nearby spectators and even catching the eye of some of the players.

 

Their genuine happiness illuminated the stadium, spreading warmth and joy to everyone around them. As they posed playfully for their dad’s camera, it was evident that these precious moments would be cherished for years to come in their family’s treasure trove of memories.

 

With Jay-Z capturing their every smile and leap, Suρer Bowl LVI became not just a tҺrilling sporting event but also a heartwarming family affair for the Carter clan.

 

 

Travis Kelce is in awe of Taylor Swift’s ability to dissect and draw from various music genres — and that talent has made a lasting impression on the three-time Super Bowl champion.

 

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar opened up about how the Midnights singer’s taste in music has influenced him since he’s been dating the pop star, telling ET’s Nischelle Turner that watching a musical genius at work has been nothing short of an eye-opening experience for the self-described music junkie.

“It’s definitely been fun to experience her taste in music, for sure,” Kelce tells ET. “She’s so amazing at what she does. And to find that creativity to see where she likes to pull things from and just, really, how she listens to music is very eye-opening for me. It’s been fun to hear her take on it.”

Her music has rubbed off on him, there’s no doubt about it, and his friends know it all too well.

Just last week, while out playing a round of golf, his pal and former NBA star, Chandler Parsons, blasted Swift’s “Bad Blood” as he was getting ready to tee off on the golf course. But the stunt failed, because instead of throwing off his game, Kelce perfectly executed his swing. So much so, someone off camera joked, “Oh, no. This backfired.” Then, using his golf club as a guitar, Kelce faced the camera and then sang and danced along to the track.

Here is the Video of the Interview:

This level of fandom and love is just one of the many ways Kelce has endorsed the Eras Tour. He’s marveled at her ability to deliver flawless performances hours on end in front of packed crowds night after night.

“Man, I’ll tell you what. The London shows, I think she’s at Wembley eight times, which is mind-blowing that she can do that many shows in one stadium and fill that thing up,” Kelce gushed. “I played at Wembley once and I don’t even think we filled that thing up.”

It’s true.

Swift, who later this month is dropping her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, will perform at London’s 90,000-seat-Wembley Stadium on June 21-23 and then again on Aug. 15-19. Every show is sold out. Meanwhile, Kelce and the Chiefs played the Detroit Lions at Wembley Stadium in November 2015. But while the Chiefs trampled the Lions, 45-10, in that London showcase, they couldn’t sell out the game, drawing only 83,624.

“She’ll be all over Europe,” Kelce added. “There won’t be a bad show, I promise you that.”

While Kelce’s already soaked up the Eras Tour in Argentina, Sydney, Australia and Singapore, inquiring minds wanted to know if he’ll pack his bags and make the trek across the pond.

“Oh, you know I gotta go support,” he tells ET. “You know it.”

He’s proven that time and again, showing her support. What’s more, it’s a two-way street, regardless of their exhausting schedules.

“We’re both very career-driven. We both love what we do, and any chance that I can show my support to her — and knowing that she’s showing me all the support in the world throughout the season — it’s just been an amazing experience getting to know Tay,” Kelce said.

It’s been a fun offseason for Kelce — from celebrating a Super Bowl win to going on vacay with Swift in the Bahamas and then Los Angeles. Following those trips, a source told ET that “Taylor and Travis are soaking up their downtime together. They are appreciating the here and now and the love they share with one other. When they’re able to just chill out, they love to hang out with their friends and family, travel, see new things together, and enjoy their privacy.”

The source added, “They are grateful to have each other along for the ride and advocate and support each other across the board. While they’re enjoying this moment, they’re looking forward to what the future holds too. They want to continue to grow together and be happy and healthy. Their friends and family are still as supportive as ever.”

And the fun continues for Kelce, who very soon will host yet again his already legendary Kelce Jam, Presented by Jim Beam. Pre-registration for Kelce Jam tickets is now open, with Friday’s pre-sale tickets beginning at 11 a.m. ET.

The festival goes down May 18 at Azura Amphitheater in Kansas City. Some of this year’s featured artists include hitmakers like Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Diplo.

Of course, with music always at the forefront of the future Hall of Fame tight end’s mind, people have wondered about his own Super Bowl playlist.

“I’ll tell you what, I’m a real music lover and it goes all over the place, especially when it comes to a game day playlist because I go all over. Things from my childhood. My high school pep band used to play ‘SpottieOttieDopaliscious’ from Outkast,” Kelce shared. “On top of that, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz back in the day had a song called ‘Duffle Bag Boy’ and I loved that. I play everything, from the old school jock jams from being a little kid. It goes all over the place. It’s definitely a variety of music. I just can’t pick one thing.”

But what about a Swift track?

“That’s my everyday playlist,” he gushed. “Not just my game day.”

The Kansas City Chiefs are adding another notable quarterback to their roster.

The Kansas City Chiefs Seem To Be Unstoppable

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid takes the field in the first quarter of the AFC championship NFL game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The Chiefs led 13-6 at halftime.
Following another triumphant season culminating in yet another Super Bowl victory, the Kansas City Chiefs continue to fortify their already formidable roster across all facets of the game.

With one of the league’s most potent offensive lines and a consistently top-tier defense masterminded by general manager Brett Veach and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, the Chiefs appear to have everything in place for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, save for a true number one receiver following the departure of Tyreek Hill.

Despite the recent departure of standout cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, the Chiefs maintain a roster of championship caliber. Moreover, they are now actively seeking to bolster backup positions with players who once boasted exceptional promise, as noted by Jordan Schultz.

What Does Carson Wentz Bring To The Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are clearly not in search of a future replacement for their superstar, Patrick Mahomes. However, despite boasting a strong defense and consistently solid offensive line, the team’s success remains heavily reliant on Mahomes’ performance and availability.

For certain teams, such as the San Francisco 49ers, quarterbacks with lower ceilings but impressive skills, like Brock Purdy and Jimmy Garoppolo, can thrive as “game manager+” types. This formula has led the 49ers to two Super Bowl appearances in the last five years under the guidance of coach Kyle Shanahan.

However, without elite receiving targets and a less scheme-dependent offense, even with the undeniable genius of head coach Andy Reid, a quarterback with a modest ceiling could derail the Chiefs’ season if Mahomes were to miss significant time.

Enter Carson Wentz, who has shown both the ability to deliver remarkable performances and some disappointing outings. Despite this variability, Wentz had an MVP-caliber season in 2017, leading the Philadelphia Eagles—eventually guided by Nick Foles—to victory in Super Bowl LII.

Considering Wentz’s potential and the stability of a franchise with excellent coaching and strategic play calling, coupled with the pressure being lifted off his shoulders as a backup, Wentz could find success and play a crucial role in the Chiefs’ future triumphs, should the need arise—a situation the Chiefs undoubtedly hope to avoid.

In a whirlwind of romance and creativity, the music world was abuzz as news broke of rapper ASAP Rocky’s unconventional proposal to his long-time partner, pop icon Rihanna. Known for their bold fashion choices and dynamic personalities, the couple took their relationship to new heights with a proposal that left fans and onlookers in awe.

The proposal unfolded in a manner befitting the couple’s unique style during a private gathering among close friends and family. Reportedly, ASAP Rocky, 33, surprised Rihanna, 35, by presenting her with a pair of custom-made grills that spelled out the words “Marry Me” in shimmering diamonds.

Witnesses to the intimate moment described Rihanna’s initial shоck followed by a burst of joy as she realized the significance of the sparkling message before her. Without missing a beаt, Rihanna reached for her own set of grills, which she had been keeping hidden, and revealed the words “I Do” spelled out in a dazzling display of affectionate affirmation.

The exchange was a testament to the couple’s deep connection and shared love for unconventional expression. It also showcased their shared penchant for using fashion as a form of personal communication and artistic statement.

The news of ASAP Rocky’s proposal quickly spread across social media platforms, eliciting an outpouring of congratulations and well-wishes from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Many praised the couple for embracing their individuality and redefining traditional notions of romance in the public eye.

 

ASAP Rocky and Rihanna, often referred to as one of music’s power couples, have captivated audiences with their dynamic relationship since they first confirmed their romance in 2021. Their bond, characterized by mutual admiration and creative synergy, has been a source of inspiration for fans around the world.

 

The couple’s engagement marks a new chapter in their love story, one that promises to be as bold and captivating as their music and fashion choices. As they embark on this journey together, fans eagerly await further updates and glimpses into the next stage of their relationship.

 

ASAP Rocky and Rihanna’s proposal serves as a reminder that love knows no bounds and can manifest itself in the most unexpecteԀ and extraordinary ways. In a world where conformity often reigns supreme, the couple’s willingness to embrace their individuality and express their love on their own terms is a refreshing and empowering example for us all.

The Los Angeles Lakers took a significant step towards securing their spot in the NBA Playoffs with a hard-fought victory over the Washington Wizards, prevailing with a scoreline of 125-120. The win was largely attributed to the outstanding performance of Anthony Davis, whose brilliance on the court propelled the Lakers to success.

Davis, the formidable power forward for the Lakers, showcased his immense talent and versatility throughout the game, delivering a stellar performance that left fans and analysts in awe. With a remarkable stat line of 35 points and 19 rebounds, Davis dominated the game on both ends of the floor, proving to be a force to be reckoned with.

His scoring prowess, coupled with his tenacity on the boards, played a crucial role in securing the crucial victory for the Lakers. Davis’s ability to control the paint, both offensively and defensively, provided his team with a significant advantage and helped them maintain the upper hand against a determined Wizards squad.

Furthermore, Davis’s standout performance was made even more memorable by the fact that it coincided with Jarred Vanderbilt’s birthday, adding an extra layer of significance to the win. As the Lakers celebrated their triumph, Davis’s heroics served as a fitting tribute to his teammate on his special day.

The victory against the Wizards not only bolstered the Lakers’ position in the playoff race but also served as a testament to the team’s resilience and determination. Despite facing adversity throughout the season, including injuries and roster changes, the Lakers have continued to persevere, relying on the talent and leadership of players like Anthony Davis to guide them through challenging times.

 

As the NBA season progresses and the playoffs draw nearer, the Lakers will look to build upon their recent success and solidify their standing as legitimate contenders for the championship. With players like Anthony Davis leading the charge, the Lakers are poised to make a strong push towards postseason glory, fueled by their unwavering commitment to excellence on the court.
