Taylor Swift Returns to Eras Tour Road As Tom Brady, Serena Williams, and Hoda Kotb Cheer Her On

[ad_1]

That repetitional damage wasn’t in evidence Friday night, when she took the stage for the first of three sold-out shows in the redder-than-red state of Florida. Perhaps the crowd was bolstered by out-of-town celebrities who were also in attendance—TMZ spotted Tom Brady, Miley Cyrus, Serena Williams, Hoda Kotb, and Savannah Guthrie in the crowd.

Also present was Jason Kelce, the brother of Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The former Philadelphia Eagle either fell asleep or pretended to during the show, reports the Post. But by keeping his eyes closed, he missed some surprises: BuzzFeed notes that she debuted four new costumes for this final run of shows, while the Miami Herald reports that Florence Welch appeared on stage for “Florida,” her duet with Swift from her most recent album, The Tortured Poet’s Department.

Swift’s Eras Tour will continue through the end of 2024, with subsequent three-night stands in New Orleans and Indianapolis. Then, it’s off to Canada for the last leg of the tour, which will end on Sunday, December 8 in Vancouver.

What to stream: ‘Warriors’ album, ‘The Dating Game’ killer, ‘NCIS: Origins’ and Travis Kelce’s games

[ad_1]

Travis Kelce adds game show host to his growing resume with “Are You Smarter than a Celebrity?” and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Warriors,” a musical concept album inspired by the 1979 cult classic film, are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you.

Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: Anna Kendrick stars in a movie about the time a serial killer made his way onto the television show “The Dating Game,” Nintendo fans get Super Mario Party Jamboree and “NCIS” looks back at character Leroy Jethro Gibbs in “NCIS: Origins,” a series set 25 years before the original.

NEW MOVIES TO STREAM OCT. 14-20

— In 1978, a serial killer made his way onto the television show “The Dating Game.” Rodney Alcala was already a murderer by the time he appeared on the show as one of three bachelors seeking a date with a woman named Cheryl Bradshaw. He even won. Had they done a background check, they might have discovered that he’d been on the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives list and already been imprisoned for violent crimes against an 8-year-old. In the new Netflix film “Woman of the Hour,” streaming on Friday, Oct. 18, Anna Kendrick (also making her directorial debut) stars as the woman on the show (spelled Sheryl here) and puts the attention back on the victims. “Woman of the Hour” received good reviews out of the Toronto Film Festival last year.

— If fake serial killers are more your style, “MaXXXine” starts streaming on MAX on Friday, Oct. 18. The third film in Ti West and Mia Goth’s unlikely trilogy (following “X” and “Pearl”) takes the audience to the sleazy underground of 1980s Hollywood. Goth’s Maxine Minx is an adult film star hoping for a big break in mainstream movies. She gets a shot from Elizabeth Debicki’s refined director. But she’s also running from her past and a killer terrorizing the town. It’s very stylized and a little silly and underdeveloped but it’s a fun watch with a fun, extended Lily Collins cameo.

— And for those looking for a comedy, Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage play brothers, and former partners in crime in a starry new movie coming to Prime Video on Thursday. Brolin is the one trying for a more normal life when Dinklage convinces him to embark on a road trip to a promised big score. “Brothers,” directed by Max Barbakow (who made the delightful time loop romantic comedy “Palm Springs”) also features Marisa Tomei, Glenn Close, Brendan Fraser and Taylour Paige in its big ensemble.

— AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr

NEW MUSIC TO STREAM OCT. 14-20

— On Friday, Oct. 18, Lin-Manuel Miranda — in his first full post-“Hamilton” musical — and the award-winning actor and playwright Eisa Davis will release “Warriors,” a musical concept album inspired by the 1979 cult classic film that follows a street gang as they make their way from the Bronx to their home turf of Coney Island amid an all-out blitz. There are some notable departures here, including some gender-flipping and inventive genre-melding, no doubt an extension of its all-star cast, which features everyone from Ms. Lauryn Hill and Marc Anthony to Colman Domingo, Busta Rhymes and more. Last month, the duo told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that their version of “Warriors” is about unity and peace. But it sounds full of action.

— AP Music Writer Maria Sherman

NEW SHOWS TO STREAM OCT. 14-20

— Austin Stowell plays a younger version of Mark Harmon’s “NCIS” character, Leroy Jethro Gibbs in “NCIS: Origins,” a series set 25 years before the original. We meet this Gibbs as he’s beginning his career as a naval investigator. “NCIS: Origins” debuts Monday on CBS and streams on Paramount+.

— A new Peacock docuseries digs into the wild but true story of Elizabeth Finch, a former writer on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” Finch wrote storylines she claimed were inspired by her own life and medical history, including a battle with bone cancer. She later admitted to lying. The three-part docuseries also tells the story of Finch’s ex-wife, who was the one to expose her deceit in the first place. “Anatomy of Lies” streams Tuesday on Peacock.

— Travis Kelce adds game show host to his growing resume. The Kansas City Chiefs tight-end hosts “Are You Smarter than a Celebrity?” beginning Wednesday on Prime Video. On the show, adult contestants answer elementary grade questions with a pool of celebrities on standby ready to help.

— In the Apple TV+’s dramedy “Shrinking,” Jason Segel plays Jimmy, a therapist grieving the death of his wife and trying to navigate being a single parent to a teen daughter. In season one, he begins to give his patients unorthodox advice, like inviting one (Luke Tennie) to move into his home. We also saw a new kind of family blossom between Jimmy, his colleagues (Harrison Ford and Jessica Williams), and neighbor (Christa Miller). Season two of the heartwarming comedy premieres Wednesday on the streamer.

— In season three of Netflix’s “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Mickey Haller is rocked by the murder of his former client Gloria Days (Fiona Rene), but he also agrees to defend the man accused of killing her. The story is based on No. 5 of Michael Connelly’s The Lincoln Lawyer book series called “The Gods of Guilt.” It premieres Thursday on Netflix.

— The “Sheldon-verse” continues with “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” debuting Thursday on CBS. The series stars Montana Jordan as Sheldon’s older brother George “Georgie” Cooper and his new bride Mandy, played by Emily Osment. It’s a sequel to “Young Sheldon” which wrapped last May after seven seasons. Episodes also stream on Paramount+.

— “Hysteria!”, coming to Peacock on Friday, Oct. 18, follows members of a high school band who pretend to be in a Satanic cult for attention. Their plan falls apart when town members target the teens in a witch hunt. The series stars Julie Bowen of “Modern Family” and “Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell.

— Alicia Rancilio

NEW VIDEO GAMES TO PLAY

— Holiday season is almost here, and for Nintendo fans, there’s no party like a Mario Party. Super Mario Party Jamboree follows the classic formula: It’s a virtual board game in which most of the spaces lead to a multiplayer contest. Up to four people can play in-person or online, though one online mode lets up to 20 compete in a hectic “Koopathlon.” There are 22 characters, seven different boards and more than 110 minigames covering the gamut of Mario Party silliness, from races to brawls to minigolf. And there are few cooperative challenges, like a cooking game where four chefs try to slice and dice in rhythm. The festivities start Thursday on Switch.

— Barcelona-based Nomada Studio gained plenty of fans and a handful of awards with 2018’s stylish Gris, a haunting tale in which a young girl worked through grief by solving puzzles and collecting stars. The indie developer’s Neva starts in a similarly gloomy place: A warrior named Alba sets out with a white wolf, Neva, to explore a dying world. Nomada calls it “a love song dedicated to our children, our parents and our planet,” and the arresting, painterly landscapes will look familiar to fans of Gris. The journey begins Tuesday on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch and PC.

The New York Yankees, who defeated the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series, are hosting the Cleveland Guardians to begin the best-of-seven series.

The famous couple sat together in a suite down the right-field line, in the second row above postseason bunting and a flag commemorating the Yankees’ 1932 World Series championship.

Kelce, a Westlake, Ohio, native who went to high school in Cleveland Heights, sported a dark baseball cap with the words Midnight Rodeo on it. Swift also wore a hat on a 50-degree night in the Bronx.

Kelce, who turned 35 on Oct. 5, grew up rooting for Kenny Lofton and Cleveland in the 1990s. Kelce threw a wild ceremonial first pitch before the Guardians’ season opener last year.

Swift was also in attendance at last Monday night’s Chiefs game against the New Orleans Saints.

It was the second major sporting event for Swift and Kelce in New York City over the past five-plus weeks. The couple also sat in a box to watch the men’s final at the U.S. Open tennis tournament on Sept. 8 in Queens.

Kelce and the Chiefs, the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, had a bye this weekend after opening the season 5-0. Their next game is Sunday at San Francisco, a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Do Back-to-Back Date Nights in NYC!

[ad_1]

Getty Images

The weekend brought back-to-back NYC date nights for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce — and they were stepping out in style!

The couple appears to be going strong, tightly clasping hands as they waded through photographers while seeking a pair of nice nights out and away from work commitments.

Friday found Taylor, 34, and Travis, 35, dining with their close friends Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds at the Corner Store.

Taylor wowed in a Gucci GG corset in navy and cream, a black leather mini, and a Polo Ralph Lauren coat. She wore Louis Vuitton Roxy platform boots to finish the look, carrying a Dior bag, black-and-gold jewelry, and an eye-popping LV Blossom ring.

Kelce wore a Jacquemus Simon shirt with a bold print in navy and cream, navy pants, and white sneakers.

On Saturday evening, the couple was spotted leaving hot spot Torrisi.

People magazine reports Taylor wore a metallic Annie’s Ivy corset, matching mini in gold velvet, black leather Medusa Buckle platform mules by Versace, and a Roberto Cavalli shoulder bag.

She finished her look with a Tilly Sveass T Bar gold necklace and a Vivienne Westwood Messaline crystal choker.

The outlet calculates the look would retail for more than $3,000.

Fans pointed out that the monogram on the bag was a gold R with two C shapes — suspiciously snake-like. Could Taylor be about to announce the release of “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” soon?

Travis looked handsome in a Marni polo in baby blue, combat pants, and white sneakers.

The idyllic nights come as Travis’s ex, Kayla Nicole, complains she’s been the victim of “online chaos” from Swifties — simply for being Travis’s former girlfriend.

She told “Unapologetically Angel” on Thursday, “I would be lying if I said that that level of hate… didn’t impact me, it does. Even to this day,” Nicole said. “You can go to my most recent post and it will be people debating each other why I am worthless and I’ll never be a talented person and I have no career.”

Nicole is also feeling excluded from the Kansas City Chiefs WAGs (wives and girlfirends), saying they’re all still on good terms, but not as close as before.

Did Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Really Grill Blake Lively About Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?

[ad_1]

Jason Kelce has apparently had it with Taylor Swift’s fans. The retired NFL player accused the billionaire singer’s fanbase of election interference this week, saying that they’re responsible for forcing him into an “agonizing review” of the 2005 coming-of-age film Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. But just a few days after Kelce’s grumpy announcement, his brother was spotted out with Blake Lively, one of the film’s stars. Coincidence? Perhaps!

The elder Kelce unleashed the allegation this week on the New Heights podcast, the Wondery-based audio product he co-hosts with his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The younger Kelce is better known to the non-NFL-curious as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, one of the reasons their goofy, loose, and football-centric podcast has become one of the most-listened in the US.

In addition to gridiron events, family reminiscences, and chatter about important matters such as chicken wings (boneless=bad) and doughnuts (the cake variety are “a waste of time”), the brothers have launched a “film club” for which subscribers vote in tiered polls to choose a movie the pair will watch and review. The first such movie to triumph in the poll was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the heartwarming drama that starred Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, and America Ferrera.

The elder Kelce wasted no time in expressing his disappointment. “You will hear the agonizing review of a movie about pants and sisterhood, two of my least favorite things,” Jason complained as his brother laughed. “The Swifties freakin’ dominated the poll.”

“I’m excited to watch this movie,” Travis said in response, a statement Jason met with disbelief. “You’re honestly excited to watch this movie,” he said flatly. “What in the title makes you excited to watch this movie?”

“Jason, I don’t let the title dictate what gets me excited about it,” Travis responded patiently. “Do you know anything about this movie? What is this movie about?” Jason continued to troll. “I don’t know,” Travis responded. “It has Blake Lively in it, and she’s cool.”

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are seen on October 11, 2024 in New York City.

It’s a good thing Travis responded so smoothly to his brother’s objections, as just a few days after the podcast dropped, he ended up on a dinner date with Swift, Lively, and Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds. The four were spotted Friday at The Corner Store, a recently-opened restaurant in New York’s SoHo neighborhood with a menu described as “kid food for adults.”

Its offerings likely appealed to Kelce, who also admitted on this week’s podcast that he is too squeamish to eat “anything with a casing,” Creole or Cajun foods including jambalaya, or thicker curries. “I have a mental block,” the 35-year-old said, about “food that looks like it came out of a butthole.” Does that mean The Corner Store’s filet mignon tartare was out, or its spinach artichoke dip? One can only assume so.

Taylor Swift Will Return to Chiefs Games, Travis Kelce Teasingly Tells Fans

[ad_1]

Reading headlines about recent Kansas City Chiefs football games, one has to wonder if the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is being held to an unrealistic standard. The singer “snubbed” her tight end boyfriend by skipping recent games, while Kelce “looked miserable” on the field, staring morosely “into the distance,” we’re told. Citing debunked social media rumors of a “breakup contract” between the pair, publications as august as The Economic Times reported that Swift’s absence has spurred betting sites to increase the odds that the pair will part within months. Those bookies might want to have a rethink, however, as Kelce says his famous girlfriend will be back in the stands for his next game, after a two-game absence.

Kelce dropped the news Saturday, during his Kelce Car Jam charity event, a 35th birthday celebration for the athlete that doubles as a car show and fundraiser for Kelce’s Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation. When Kelce stopped at a food tent staffed by workers from Louisiana-based chicken chain Raising Cane’s, one of the first things he was asked was if Swift would be showing up for the party. “She will not be here,” the New York Post quotes him as saying. However, “I know she’s coming in for the game.”

The game Kelce is referring to is Monday night’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints, which will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. That detail—that it’s a home game, not an away one as the last two were—might hold the key to Taylor Swift’s presence, if recent reports are correct: According to an anonymous source quoted by Page Six, “If she is going to a place that isn’t Arrowhead, there are security concerns” that make her attendance more difficult. “She has worked with Arrowhead so many times, they feel at ease and comfortable. Going to all kinds of different stadiums, you need to send a team in advance,” the source said.

Even if rumors that Swift is eschewing away games out of security fears are pure speculation, it’s speculation based on a certain amount of fact. Given the credible allegations that a terror attack was planned for her since-canceled Vienna shows, as well as influential Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s announcement that he hates her, it’s likely that Swift’s already-on-alert security team is under an all-new level of pressure.

That said, let’s remember that the singer also has billions of responsibilities that might keep her from games, including a resumption of her Eras Tour with a three-day stop in Miami from October 18 to 20. One also has to wonder if—as Swift sings in what’s since become an occasional Kamala Harris marching song—her attendance or lack thereof would be as obsessed over if she were a man. For example, following his Super Bowl win, Kelce attended some of Swift’s Eras Tour shows, but he certainly wasn’t there for all of them. It’s likely that some of his absences were related to his Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? hosting duties, or his role in the new Ryan Murphy series Grotesquerie.

But other times, it’s likely he just didn’t feel like getting on a plane! Or he wanted to spend time with family or friends! Or, like so many of us who have lives that extend beyond our romantic relationships, he just had other shit to do. That wasn’t questioned nearly as much as Swift’s whereabouts these past weeks. But as she sings in “The Man,” while men are praised for foregoing social engagements in favor of hustle, work, or “raking in dollars,” women are expected to dress up, take their seats, and smile as though absolutely nothing could ever be wrong.

We can’t see the future, but assuming Kelce’s overhead remarks to a couple of chicken finger vendors were true, we’ll likely see Swift in the stands again Monday night. And, if so, fans would be wise to drink in the view, as Swift’s tour dates will probably keep her from Chiefs games until at least December 15, when the Chiefs play the Cleveland Browns at that team’s Huntington Bank Field. Given those away game security rumors, we might have to wait until Saturday, December 21 to see Swift at a match, as that’s when the Chiefs return home to will play the Houston Texans.

15 Minutes That Changed the World (Or at Least Philadelphia) – Philadelphia Sports Nation

[ad_1]

The Moment in Time When Nick Sirianni’s Eagles Were Changed Forever.

Shortly after you absorb that euphoric feeling of your team winning a Super Bowl — you immediately want to feel it again.

Not fifteen minutes after Tom Brady’s final Hail Mary Pass in Super Bowl LII fell short in the end zone — the priority shifted from celebration to preservation.

What would it take for the Eagles to return to claim another Lombardi Trophy?

The wait for another shot at NFL immortality wasn’t as quick as initially wished for, but it wasn’t as long as it could have been.

With the departure of Doug Pederson and ushering out of former quarterback Carson Wentz — whose own ego had prevented him from reaching greatness in Philadelphia— the Eagles were focused on a re-tooling.

Just two years after the Eagles hired 39-year-old coach Nick Sirianni and committed to 23-year-old quarterback Jalen Hurts — the Eagles whose seemed like its bold offense could never be stopped from scoring — were back in the Super Bowl once again.

When the Eagles advanced to Super Bowl LVII and powered their way to a 24–14 lead through two quarters — it looked as though not even a short halftime to regroup could save Andy Reid’s Chiefs and a hobbled Patrick Mahomes.

During that fifteen-minute window — with Rhianna crescendoing her greatest hits on a stage at the 50-yard line — something happened to the Eagles. Perhaps it was arrogance, overconfidence, or inexperience. Perhaps it was a feeling that they were better than the game itself. Perhaps it was a combination of all of these.

What happened during the next 30 minutes was that a Head Coach—once skewered in Philadelphia for nearly fourteen years for not being able to make in-game adjustments—flipped the script on the Eagles. He gave his injured quarterback quick throws, attacked the Eagles’ defense in different ways, and contained Philly’s devastating offensive attack.

The team that wins the second half wins the game. That is exactly what happened.

Nick Sirianni’s Eagles never recovered from that moment. Even when the Eagles were eking out wins at 10–1 last season, something didn’t look right. When they went 1–6 the rest of the way, something certainly didn’t.

Many people didn’t want Nick Sirianni back this season. But making a convincing argument to stay — he did. At an early bye week, the Eagles are 2–2. They return from Tampa after yet another shellacking to a team that doesn’t have a talent level equal to Philadelphia.

Since 2016, the Eagles have spent too much time purging themselves of coaches and players who utilize arrogance as a defining quality. The last coach and franchise quarterback to try to plow forward, driven by this sense, left the Eagles in an eventual rebuild.

For the Eagles to return to the euphoric feeling of the NFC Championship Game win against the 49ers in 2023, it will take an adjustment of this team back to good fundamental football and a new approach for one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses.

Halloween Costumes Inspired By Celebrities

[ad_1]

Now that it’s October, I’m accepting that it’s officially fall. I’m leaning into pumpkin-flavored baked goods, I put out my decor, and I’m rewatching old Disney favorites like Twitches.

But also, this means I have to stress over what costume I’m gonna wear. I actually despise Halloween for the sheer fact that I have to wear a costume. I’m great at dressing up (in designer) not (in costume).

It’s a weeks’ long debate that inevitably ends with me struggling to find a last-minute Halloween costume. I do not wear what everyone else wears, probably because I’m a Leo, so I want my costume to be a little niche.

In the spirit of being less of a procrastinator and more proactive, I’ve committed to choosing what I want to be for Halloween now. Yes, early October, so I can take my time and find what I really want to wear.

However, this isn’t easy. If you go to TikTok, there’s a 50% chance that someone else at the party will be wearing the same thing as you. So, you kind of have to relinquish that dream and embrace it.

If you’re like me and trying to find a good costume a bit early this year…let’s get through this battle together. Whether you need a group costume, something for you and your significant other, or just a solo moment, it’s easy to pick a celeb and copy their style as a costume.

Let’s take a look at some of the best celebrity-inspired Halloween costumes for 2024!

Travis Kelce

For boys, Travis is an easy option for those with a girlfriend who wants them to dress up. I get how it may feel like you have a gun to your head if you aren’t a Chiefs fan, but this is the easier option compared to others.

To be Trav yourself, you just need a pair of jeans, a jersey or Kelce-related shirt. Literally, that’s it. You know what they say: happy wife, happy life! Bonus points if you grow a mustache in time.

Here are my picks for a Travis Kelce Halloween costume:

Taylor Swift

And for each Travis, there should be a Taylor. For Swift you can go with many different styles — or should I say eras? — depending on your mood. Which is good news for those who hate wearing the same thing as others and bad news for the people who are bad at making decisions.

If you want to go with something matching your Travis, wear a Taylor Swift gameday outfit. But if you want to go with a Classic Taylor, choose one of her tour looks or something fabulous from her music videos.

This is my favorite Taylor Swift Halloween costume:

Sabrina Carpenter

I’m warning you now: this will be a popular costume this year. Sabrina’s one of the breakout popstars of the year, and as she’s currently still on her Short n’ Sweet Tour, her star is only growing.

To achieve the best Sabrina Carpenter look, all you need are short skirts and corsets…and no costume would be complete without sky-high platform heels.

Capture that me espresso with this Sabrina Carpenter:

Barry Keoghan

And you can’t have a Sabrina without her Barry! Saltburnstar Keoghan — alongside heartthrob Jacob Elordi — stole hearts in Emerald Fennel’s film…but his relationship with Sabrina has been all we can talk about lately!

The Irishman is known for wearing his signature tracksuits, while also being a bit of a fashion icon himself. If you don’t want to go too crazy this Halloween, I’d stick to a track jacket.

Another easy look is Barry in the Please, Please, Please video. You can achieve this look with these items:

Rihanna

Rihanna is iconic. She’s had many memorable fashion moments, including that famous flaming red hair. If you’re in the mood to wear a wig, Rihanna is a terrific option. Plus, it’s a solid way to manifest her next album (I hope).

If you’re pregnant, her Super Bowl halftime performance outfit is a great pick! Even better, if it’s how you’re announcing it! But, if you want to be the Fenty founder for Halloween, here are some easy picks:

A$AP Rocky

You had to have known this was coming. A$AP is Rihanna’s longtime boo and again, another male fashion icon. The duo serve major looks, which shouldn’t surprise you. But that means your A$AP Rocky costume consists of dressing really nice.

Or, controversially, you could be A$AP Rocky in Lana Del Rey’s “National Anthem” music video. If you think that’s the more fun option, here is how you can steal the look:

Charli XCX

BRAT Summer to BRAT Fall. While Charli baby rages on tour with Troye Sivan, you can channel your inner BRAT queen this Halloween. Charli’s look is a little similar to Sabrina’s, but also a little less girly, and a little more grunge.

So grab a pleated miniskirt and crop a white tee. The Charli XCX look is actually an extremely comfortable Halloween costume that can be recycled on a later date…because I hate buying a costume and never touching it again.

Here are some BRAT outfits for your BRAT Halloween:

Hailey Bieber

Would it be a celeb-inspired Halloween costume list without queen Hailey herself? New mom Hailey is such a fashion icon and our ultimate influencer. Without Hailey, we probably wouldn’t give a hoot about Kosas Concealer and we definitely wouldn’t have rhode skin.

She has a bunch of stylish outfits you can replicate — and for far less money than Hailey paid. But this is a super simple Hailey Bieber costume:

Justin Bieber

And to round out the list, we have The Biebs himself. You knew it was coming. And we’ve seen many phases of Justin Bieber, so picking a costume should be a breeze.

Male or female, Justin Bieber is a popular Halloween costume. I’ve seen girls dress up as “Baby” era Bieber and boys dress up as current Justin. Either way, he’s a terrific celebrity to dress up as— especially if you have a Hailey joining you this All Hallows Eve.

Here is a simple Justin Bieber costume:

Travis Kelce Is Getting ‘Help’ in This Key Department From Taylor Swift…

[ad_1]

It looks like pop superstar Taylor Swift might be adding “cooking coach” to her already-impressive resume. The 34-year-old singer has reportedly been giving her NFL beau, Travis Kelce, also 34, some pointers in the homemaking department.

According to Donna Kelce, Travis’ mom, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end could use a little help when it comes to household chores. In a candid chat with Extra TV, the 71-year-old matriarch spilled the beans about her son’s domestic skills—or lack thereof.

“He can’t clean. He can’t cook… (but he’s) getting a little better,” Donna revealed, hinting at a possible influence from Swift. With a wink and a nod, she added, “I think he’s getting some help.”

The “Anti-Hero” singer is currently enjoying a brief break from her record-breaking Eras Tour, having wrapped up the European leg in mid-August. She’s set to hit the stage again in Miami come October. Meanwhile, Travis has been spotted supporting his pop star girlfriend during her performances, most notably at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 23, where the NFL star even donned a tux for a playful skit that had Swift pretending to swoon.

It’s not just mom Donna who’s been dishing on the high-profile couple. Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, former Philadelphia Eagles center, recently opened up about the challenges that come with dating someone of Swift’s caliber.

Speaking to the “94WIP Morning Show,” Jason admitted, “It’s a lot. There’s a lot of people paying attention at all times, which is positive and negative at times.”

Jason went on to discuss the difficulties of maintaining privacy and living a normal life under the constant spotlight that accompanies Swift’s level of fame. However, he was quick to commend how she’s handled her stardom, noting, “I think that she’s built up such a fan base and a contingency and an amount of people that really, really just, like, love her that it’s really cool at the same time.”

The elder Kelce brother also confessed that neither he nor Travis has ever experienced the intense devotion that Swift commands from her fans. Reflecting on the longevity and impact of her career, Jason said, “When I think of, like, big names in music that have sustained over such a long time, and the way she has (fame), it feels like all of them kind of get to that.” He even drew a comparison to music legend Bruce Springsteen, saying, “She’s at that, like, Bruce Springsteen (level) like, tied.”

Clearly, Taylor is killing the game—and with NFL season underway, it’s her boyfriend’s time to shine, too. But who knows? Maybe on top of being a Super Bowl champ, we’ll see Travis whipping up a gourmet meal and mastering the art of folding laundry in the near future. After all, with a little help from Taylor, anything’s possible.

Niecy Nash-Betts teams up again with Ryan Murphy for a new FX thriller, ‘Grotesquerie’

[ad_1]

HOLLYWOOD — Niecy Nash-Betts hit gold…as in Emmy gold…when she teamed up with Ryan Murphy in 2022 for a limited series about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. She’s back with Murphy again for a new drama…and again, there’s a serial killer at large.

This one’s called “Grotesquerie.” And in this series, it falls on an alcoholic detective, played by Nash-Betts, to solve an especially creepy case.

“There are several murders that this serial killer has committed, and my unlikely partner in crime in all of this, ends up being a nun named Sister Megan,” said Nash-Betts. “Normally my character is a one-man band, but because of the faith-based aspect of these crimes, she ends up kind of the Cagney to my Lacey.”

“Grotesquerie” marks the acting debut for football star Travis Kelce.

“People are going to be pleasantly surprised,” said Nash-Betts. “He’s charming. Comes to work well-prepared, is professional and is open to learn. Takes notes very well. His fans are going to be very satiated by his performance.”

Is “Grotesquerie” the kind of show that would make viewers want to cover their eyes?

“Maybe a little,” she laughed. “I don’t know about a lot, but there may be a little. You might turn it off and want to go lock the doors and the windows just to make sure, you know.”

“Grotesquerie” airs Wednesday nights on FX, then will play on Hulu.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu, FX and this ABC station.

Travis Kelce Looked ‘Like He Was Ready to Cry’ Amid Taylor Swift’s Absence at the Falcon’s Game

[ad_1]

Travis Kelce is experiencing his worst start to the NFL season ever. The Chiefs tight end had just four receptions for a measly 30 yards against the Falcons on September 22, 2024, sparking a viral “Sad Travis” meme. One person who was notably absent from Travis’ shocker was his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who’s been at the two previous games while on a break from her Eras Tour.

One fan on Twitter observed that Travis “looked like he was ready to cry” while sitting on the sidelines. Another said, he “looks absolutely DONE,” with video footage of him looking forlorn and wiping away sweat (or tears, we’re not sure).

Why wasn’t Taylor Swift at the Chiefs, Falcons game?

The simple reason is that Taylor was in New York City for a night on the town with bestie Gigi Hadid, reportedly having dinner at The Corner Store on Broadway. It’s the first game she’s missed all season and was a regular fixture last year, so it is a little puzzling (obviously no “official” explanation for her absence has been given, though, you know, couples are allowed to spend time apart).

Onlookers were equally puzzled by the tight end’s lackluster performance on the field. “I’m just flabbergasted,” analyst Cris Collinsworth said in the second quarter. “I mean, one game, big deal. Two games, alright. This is the third game now where we have not seen the magic of Mahomes and Kelce. And I can’t really explain that one.”

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tried to downplay the situation. “The respect factor they have for Travis is just unreal,” he told the media in the post-game press conference. “It’s well-deserved. But I mean, we’re calling a lot of plays for Travis and it’s like two or three people are going to him.”

He continued, “He understands. I think that’s the great thing about him. He wants to make an impact on the game, but he wants to win at the end of the day. I’m going to try to keep doing my best to keep feeding him the ball whenever he’s there, whenever he’s open.”

During the September 18 episode of his New Heights podcast, Travis explained how he doesn’t care so much about stats anymore. “For whatever reason, these past two games it hasn’t gone that way for me. That’s football, man. I’m not about to sit here and get frustrated about it,” he said.

“I used to get really, really pissed off and almost lose my cool a lot of the time from not having that success knowing I demand that out of myself. I just like to play the game to such a high level of accountability that it’s tough for me to deal with me being mediocre or having stats that represent that.”

How To Look Cute This Football Season

[ad_1]

As a girl who’s a die-hard football fan, it’s tough out here. I have men who don’t believe that I actually follow the sport and women who complain about having to watch the game in general. Football has been a male-dominated territory for a long time, but Taylor Swift is making groundbreaking changes.

With her regular attendance at Kansas City Chiefs games in support of her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, Swift is basically guaranteeing that women will be there for NFL games now…even if it’s only to catch a glimpse of Miss Swift herself.

And even if you’re not a Swiftie, more and more women are watching football more than ever. Whether it’s because your father, brother, uncle, friend, or boyfriend forced you to watch alongside them…or because you and your gal pals started an all female fantasy football league just for fun.

Where I live, Sundays are great days to go out and socialize. Bars are packed with people watching the games, so even if you’re not a fan it’s a fantastic excuse to get out of your house.

Morning Consult Brand Intelligence reported that, in December 2023, 64% of Gen-Z and millennial women held the NFL in a favorable view. The interest surrounding football goes beyond Swift now, and the NFL must do something to continue to capitalize on that.

Yes, it helps that heartthrobs like Joe Burrow exist simply to keep women interested. But what’s more interesting is that women are starting to care about the game itself.

I’m in an all girls fantasy league, where almost no one cared about football beforehand. However now, everyone is super invested in their teams.

But even more critical is looking good during the football season. For so long, the NFL neglected their women’s merch. Even more egregious, all the team apparel for women was hideous.

However, since football has turned over a new leaf…things have improved significantly. Now, it’s about looking trendy this 2024 football season. And I’m here to make sure you do just that.

Here are my favorite women’s NFL apparel picks for 2024:

Abercrombie

Abercrombie genuinely has some of the best NFL apparel for both men and women. It’s all on-trend, vintage in the right way, and a fan favorite. Seriously, every girl I know has one of the NFL sweatshirts from Abercrombie.

My roommate has this sweater and swears it changed her life because it’s so incredibly soft. Plus, the designs for your designated team are actually cute. Whether you like the quarterback because he’s handsome or because he can escape a sack like a magician…these sweaters are a staple this football season.

There was a time where only a few stores carried women’s NFL apparel. Since we’re in better days, plenty of women-focused stores now sell NFL gear that you’d actually wear.

This American Eagle Dolphins crewneck is oversized in the best way. Fine to wear with baggy jeans, leggings, a nice skort, or just biker shorts a la Princess Diana. An oversized crewneck is a staple for your closet…so make it NFL-themed.

Junk Food

Junk Food is the go-to for graphic tees and sweatshirts. So it should be easy to find something for your NFL team on this site, because everything is simply adorable.

This thermal is outstanding for everyday wear during the colder months when you’ll be rooting for your fave team (in this case, the Eagles) while still serving looks. Not a fan of the Birds? Don’t fret, they have every team on this site.

NFL Shop

Vintage is very in right now, which is why this Buffalo Bills sweater by Tommy Hilfiger is a must-have. With a double v-neck and the red, white, and blue trim, this sweatshirt gives the perfect dose of nostalgia.

Order one a few sizes bigger than your normal and you have an excellent oversized sweatshirt for the fall!

New Era

The perfect NFL baby tee does exist, and it’s sold at New Era. With a simple embroidered cursive font and logo, this baby tee doesn’t have a lot going on. But it works with jeans and a leather jacket for a cute gameday fit.

It’s one of the most popular NFL apparel pieces this season for a reason, so get it while you can!

Taylor Swift, fresh off the VMAs, back at Arrowhead to watch boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs

[ad_1]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Taylor Swift capped a headline-grabbing week that included her endorsement of Kamala Harris for president and seven trophies from the MTV Video Music Awards by showing up at Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Swift arrived about 90 minutes before kickoff to see her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and the two-time defending Super Bowl champions play the Cincinnati Bengals in a rematch of two of the past three AFC championship games.

Swift has become close friends with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, over the past year. And that led to some controversy this week after the 14-time Grammy winner said she supported Harris over Donald Trump in the November election.

Trump has been referencing Brittany Mahomes in interviews and speeches since last month, after she liked — and then unliked — an Instagram post by the Republican presidential nominee outlining the “2024 GOP platform.” Trump posted soon afterward on Truth Social: “I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me.”

Swift’s endorsement of Harris led Trump to say in a phone interview with Fox News this week: “I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great.”

Trump went even further Sunday, posting on Truth Social in call caps: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”

Patrick Mahomes declined to endorse anyone when asked about the situation, instead urging people to register to vote.

“I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way,” the two-time NFL MVP said before practice Wednesday. “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote. It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family.”

Brittany Mahomes has since stayed out of the political spotlight except to respond to critics on social media, saying in a post: “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.”

Some critics thought politics may have caused a rift between her and Swift two weeks ago, when they did not sit together for the Chiefs’ season-opening win over Ravens. But they were back together that weekend in New York for the U.S. Open.

On Wednesday night, Swift pushed her total of MTV Video Music Awards to 30, tying Beyonce for the record among all artists. Her hefty haul included the night’s biggest trophy for video of the year, for which she thanked her “boyfriend Travis” for being on set for the “Fortnight” music video and cheering her on.

“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic,” Swift said, before again using her platform to encourage fans over 18 to register to vote for the 2024 presidential election.

The popular songstress began her high-profile romance with Kelce last season, when he invited Swift to watch him play a game at Arrowhead. The “Anti-Hero” singer took him up on the offer for a September matchup with the Bears.

Since then, Swift and the four-time All-Pro tight end have spent plenty of time together, often with the cameras following their every move. Swift has become a regular at Chiefs games whenever she is on a break from her Eras Tour, and Kelce accompanied her to several performances during the offseason, even making an onstage cameo at Wembley Stadium in London.

Bill Maher Is Dumbfounded By Taylor Swift’s Influence On Male Voters After Kamala Harris Endorsement

[ad_1]

Bill Maher might want to pick up a ticket to the Eras Tour on his way to the polls.

On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian marveled at Taylor Swift‘s influence after she previously announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris and drove more than 400,000 potential voters to the registration site.

“Let’s get to the big news this week,” Maher prefaced. “Taylor Swift finally told people who to vote for. Of course, immediately the response from the other side was, ‘Celebrity endorsements don’t matter.’ People are always so behind on these things. That’s the conventional wisdom for a long time, many celebrity endorsements don’t work… not in this case — I mean, just the number of people who were immediately registered from that Tweet.”

He continued, “And I’m sorry, but we live in Starf—er, America. George Clooney is the one who got Biden to step down. I wrote the exact same editorial he did, and so many other people did too. Nobody cared. As soon as George Clooney said it, he’s gotta go.”

Maher then attempted to unpack a “surprising” statistic about Swift’s fanbase following her post-debate endorsement of Harris.

“This was the most surprising part of it, was who she influenced,” he said. “Swift, it says, would have more influence over male voters — 27% of male voters said they’d be more likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Swift. I must have this phenomenon gauged all wrong. I thought it would be women.”

Perhaps Maher should invest in a gay friend? They probably would have advised him against making the next joke he did about Swift.

“Now that Taylor Swift has saved democracy by endorsing Kamala Harris, she has one more mission: stop making Travis Kelce dress like a douche,” said Maher in his ‘New Rules’ segment. “I don’t own a cat but I know what it smells like when they mark their turf.”

Swift previously shared her endorsement of Harris and running mate Tim Walz on Instagram. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” she wrote.

“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” added Swift. “I think she is a steady-headed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

Taylor Swift, WAGS, Feminization of Sports

[ad_1]

By now, you’ve seen the photos of Taylor Swift smashing away breakup rumors as she walked into the first Chiefs game of the season. You’ve also seen the photos of Swift and Travis Kelce — our very own American Royal Family — at the US Open with Travis’s $450 Gucci bucket hat that wouldn’t stay still. Swift is not the first but the latest and most famous star who has transformed sports stadiums into her runway.

In the midst of fashion week, it’s notable that
Swift’s most public appearances aren’t a front row seat at exclusive shows or attendance at the hottest parties. But in her new arena: literal arenas. And now that she’s back to being besties with the controversial Brittany Mahomes, one thing is clear: WAGs are back.

The term WAG reached peak popularity back in the days of 2000s magazines. The acronym — which stands for “Wives and Girlfriends” — refers to the significant others of high-profile athletes. And, since it was coined during that toxic era, it was belittling at best and derogatory at worst. But now, a WAG renaissance is in full swing. And helmed by one of the most influential women in the world, WAGs are as powerful and popular (if not more so) as their sporty SOs.

The WAG Comeback

The 2024 Super Bowl drew a record number of viewers — and many of them can be chalked up to Taylor Swift. All season, fans tuned in to see her at the KC Arrowhead Stadium and ticket sales for the Chiefs home games skyrocketed. So when the Super Bowl came around, as many eyes were on Swift as they were on Kelce. Some have even called him
the first nepo boyfriend.

But Swift wasn’t the only WAG at this year’s Super Bowl. Swift’s aforementioned bestie Brittany Mahomes — wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes — was also in attendance. And on the 49ers side of the stands, Miss Universe Olivia Culpo was supporting her now-husband (though this was before she went
Bridezilla) running back Christian McCaffrey alongside TikToker Allison Kucharczyk, the wife of defensive end Isaac Rochell.

Other football WAGs are proof that sometimes, the partner in the stands is the more famous one — no matter what these sports guys might say on a podcast. Take Olympic gymnast and mightiest to ever compete in the sport,
Simone Biles. Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens is on the Green Bay Packers, yet she’s America’s sweetheart. Watch out Owens, one wrong move and Zac Efron is famously waiting in the wings to treat Simone right. Another prominent face in the football stands is one we’re used to seeing on TikTok, Alix Earle. Earle is dating Dolphins receiver Braxton Berrios but there’s no doubt who the breadwinner is in that relationship.

Across the pond in the UK, England’s football team were
one penalty kick away from winning the Euros — ouch. And though they didn’t end up bringing it home, the true victory was the WAG style we got along the way. I mean, the image of Tolami Benson — girlfriend of Bukayo Saka — wearing a custom Three Lions branded motorcycle jacket with her boyfriend’s number on it will be on my moodboard forever.

This is the epitome of WAG-dom. It gives the same energy that Victoria Beckham gave in the peak of David Beckha’s career. On the nose, supportive, but also eye-catching enough to remind us that she’s a star too. And as we’ve seen with the Beckhams — although David’s career is mostly over — Victoria’s fashion and beauty line are staples in the industry. Sports careers are fleeting, WAGs are forever.

The Euros WAGs all understood the assignment. Their social media posts were the most engaged of the entire season. Other UK football WAGs include
Love Island alum Dani Dyer (dating right winger Jarrod Bowen), entrepreneur Katie Bio (longtime girlfriend of centre-forward Ivan Toney and mother of their two kids) and content creator Aine May Kennedy (dating midfielder Conor Gallagher). It takes us back to the old days seeing Cheryl Cole and Victoria Beckham in the stands wearing custom graphic tanks.

The US Open and Wimbledom have also been WAG city. Tennis is indeed fueling the WAG renaissance. Content creators are often seen at tennis matches. But recently some of the biggest names on TikTok and Instagram are taking tenniscore to the next level by dating the athletes who are at the top of their game. Morgan Riddle is dating top-ranked American male Taylor Fritz, aka the hearttrob of tennis. Ayan Broomfield is giving Zendaya’s Tashi Duncan a run for her money as a former collegiate player and girlfriend to fan favorite Francis Tiafoe. And Paige Lorenze is living her country club dream as Tommy Paul’s girlfriend.

We can’t forget the ultimate WAG
movie of the year: Challengers. In Challengers, most people focused on the tennis, the tension, and the almost-threesome. I focused on how Zendaya’s character girlbossed her way from tennis prodigy to the ultimate WAG. And it wouldn’t be a Zendaya film if the fashion wasn’t a character all in itself. From her cashmere sweater ot her Chanel espadrilles, her WAG era reeked of quiet luxury. Perhaps that’s part of the appeal of the WAG. They’ve built their brands on their aspirational lifestyles and have adopted quiet luxury personas to elevate their status.

That’s why WAG boxes have become a playground for brands in the same way that the NBA tunnel is its own runway. It’s no surprise spectators at games have become the stars. We should have seen this coming since the Kardashian-Jenner clan love dating athletes and are often spotted showing off the latest trends as they perch courtside ready for their closeups. Brands have finally clued in, partnering with WAGs for sports coverage and styling them in their logos.

The feminization of sports culture

Thanks to prominent WAGs, many women have found an accessible entry point into sports culture. Game night is no longer simply boys night. From the fashion to the hopes fans will catch a glimpse of their favorite stars in the stands, I say it doesn’t matter what gets you to watch the game, it just matters that the culture feels inclusive.

And we’re getting there. According to NBC Sports, the NFL has seen its highest levels of female viewership since it started tracking data — with a 53% spike in teenage female viewers. In her 2023
Time Person Of The Year Interview, Taylor Swift said, “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

People on social media joked that Taylor Swift was helping teenage girls connect with their dads again — but the sentiment is so true it even became the basis for a Super Bowl ad.

Another reason women are participating in sports culture more is the attention that female athletes are getting. Female athletes and women’s sports have been overlooked for far too long. The lie that “no one cares about women’s sports” has devalued them so much that female athletes are paid way worse and watched way less — despite the fact that female teams in the US and UK have higher success rates internationally than their male counterparts.

When England’s Lioness team competed in the Women’s Euros in 2022, their match brought in a record 17.4 million viewers, making it the most-watched women’s football game on UK television at the time. This record has since been surpassed by the men’s 2024 Euro final … which they lost. The Lioness team bringing home the cup put a major spotlight on women’s football and boosted viewership of their regular season games.

Earlier this year, the same occurred with women’s basketball in the states. Who can forget the mania that surrounded Caitlin Clark’s final season? The
2024 Paris Olympics also underscored the viewership and power of women’s sports. From the US women’s gymnastics team and the US women’s rugby team, stars like Simone Biles and Ilona Maher won matches and the people’s hearts with their prowess and their ability to make pretty much anything go viral.

Girls just wanna have fun — and fashion

As we are known to do, girls have taken the popularity of women’s sports and transformed it into fashion fodder and — frankly — pop culture itself. Sportswear has taken a turn for the fashionable thanks to stylish sports fans noticing that much of the merch or apparel out there just isn’t that cute.

Despite the constantly shifting microtrends over the past few years, Blokecore is one trend that’s not going anywhere. The premise behind it: dressing like a real geezer. Its signature components are sneakers and jerseys — which can range from mini soccer jerseys to oversized football jerseys.

Either way, sports merch is the new concert merch. And the girlies are making it cute again. Fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk — wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk — went viral for making matching Chiefs jackets for Swift and Mahomes. Plus, savvy brands like Abercrombie have partnered with the NFL to make merch that caters to this fresh audience. Plus, new brands like Wear by Erin Andrews and Gameday Couture are emerging to make game day cute.

While misogyny is still rampant and some haters are accusing nascent female fans of being less legitimate, the truth is: there’s no stopping women in sports. Whether they’re WAGs, fans, or athletes themselves, the sports stands just got a whole lot cuter. You’re welcome.

Travis Kelce’s Net Worth Just Got a Hefty Boost After His 9-Figure Podcast Deal

[ad_1]

Travis Kelce has solidified his place as one of the best tight ends in NFL history—and his net worth definitely reflects that success. The super impressive figure reflects his lucrative contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, endorsement deals, and various entrepreneurial pursuits.

Related: Taylor Swift’s Net Worth Hit A Gigantic Milestone Thanks To Her Eras Tour

His growing wealth not only showcases his success in professional sports but also highlights his expanding influence in the world of entertainment and business. In 2024, it was announced that he would be transitioning into film, too, making his on-screen debut in Loose Cannons, an action comedy from John Wick filmmaker, Chad Stahelski. How much will he make from that? Only time will tell.

What is Travis Kelce’s net worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Travis Kelce‘s net worth is reportedly around $30 million. It got a boost on April 29, 2024, though, when he re-signed with the Chiefs for a two-year extension valued at $17 million a year, making him the highest-paid tight end in the league. He’ll earn more than $17 million a year. “I told y’all I’ll never let him leave!! Congrats my guy!,” Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes tweeted in response.

On August 20, 2024, Travis and his brother Jason signed a nine-figure deal with Wondery to distribute their podcast. The bid was “very competitive,” according to a person familiar with the matter to The Hollywood Reporter. New Heights reaches actual chart heights as the top sports podcast on Apple and Spotify during football season and has recently won Ambies, Webbys, and Shorty awards.

How much does Travis Kelce get paid for the Chiefs?

The Kansas City Chief tight end reportedly renewed his contract with the team in 2022 worth $57.25 million, securing him an annual salary of $14.3 million until 2026. Kelce’s previous contract had a total guaranteed sum of $22,750,000 over four years.

In 2021, he received a guaranteed roster bonus of $7 million, while in 2022, he earned $2 million of his salary as a guarantee. While that sounds like a lot of money—and it is— the combined value of all 32 NFL teams is currently $142.87 billion and football players should be entitled to their fair share of that considering they put their bodies on the line every week.

In a January 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Kelce jokingly talked about how his position isn’t paid enough. “My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” he said. “Any time I talk about wanting more money, they’re just like, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?” The Chiefs are bound by a salary cap and players like All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill have moved elsewhere within the league.

“When I saw Tyreek go and get 30 [million] a year, in the back of my head, I was like, man, that’s two to three times what I’m making right now,” he says. “I’m like, the free market looks like fun until you go somewhere and you don’t win. I love winning. I love the situation I’m in.”

He thought about it but his allegiance is to the Chiefs. “You see how much more money you could be making and, yeah, it hits you in the gut a little bit. It makes you think you’re being taken advantage of,” Kelce says. “I don’t know if I really pressed the gas if I would get what I’m quote-unquote worth,” he adds. “But I know I enjoy coming to that building every single day.” Kelce also has brand deals with Nike, Old Spice, T-Mobile and Dick’s Sporting Goods, McDonalds, and Papa Johns.

Did Taylor and Travis Break Up?

[ad_1]

Rumors began to swirl online yesterday that the American Royal Couple, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, were heading for Splitsville.

It began with a Reddit post with an alleged contract, providing an exact date when Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift would break up. This fueled even more gossip that the iconic couple — who have made debuts together on-stage at Swift’s Era’s Tour — were a so-called PR relationship.

Online forum and social media users began to speculate whether or not Swift and Kelce’s relationship has merely been a ploy for popularity — or not. However, Travis Kelce shut down those rumors immediately by having his PR firm, Full Stop, call lawyers to confirm these documents are falsified and they will be taking action.

image C/O Daily Mail

It’s a sigh of relief for many as The Tortured Poet’s Department singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end haven’t called it quits. But it’s also an important sign not to believe everything you see on a Reddit thread…and luckily, this couple will never go out of style.

A spokesman from Full Scope told The Daily Mail that the document is “entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorized by this agency.”

‘We have engaged our legal team to initiate proceedings against the individuals or entities responsible for the unlawful and injurious forgery of documents,’ Full Scope added.

It’s been a busy week for Travis Kelce, who spent the summer following Taylor on tour, as he prepares for the start of NFL season on Thursday. He also just revealed the trailer for Ryan Murphy’s latest show, Grotesquerie,starring Kelce and Niecy Nash. While the trailer is sure to turn heads, we can’t help but still fear for his acting abilities— or lack thereof!

Regardless, we can all relax now knowing Taylor and Travis are still going strong. And I will wait patiently for the engagement rumors to ensue.

Taylor Swift Uses Pat McGrath And You Should Too

[ad_1]

We hail Taylor Swift for many things: her innate musical ability, her consistent chart-topping albums, her drive. And her personal life is something we’ve all been invested in for years, whether it’s her boyfriend Travis Kelce or even her private jet usage, people are obsessed with Swift.

And while the Eras Tour is all the rage right now, selling out in seconds and causing a outright siege on Ticketmaster, I’m not paying attention to surprise songs…or the teasing of the reputation (Taylor’s Version) re-release…I’m fully focused on Taylor Swift’s makeup.

You see, the woman has performed in rain, in the heat of the summer, dancing and charming, and belting out songs for hours upon hours…and her makeup doesn’t move. There’s not a single photo with Taylor’s mascara running down her face, her blush is still intact, it’s actually an anomaly.

Taylor Swift’s makeup routine may be one of the most sought-after recipes in the world. Why can’t we keep our faces in flawless condition, ready for any event or natural disaster that comes our way? It seems unfair.

Well, for one, we don’t have makeup artists and a team of stylists curating the best routine for our faces and skin tones. But, we can take a note from the artists and see what products they use.

Look, I’m not performing for hours on a stage for tens of thousands, but I am going out and sweating my makeup off night after night. And heaven forbid it rains. So, I need to prepare my makeup just like I’m on tour. It’s the only way.

Okay, I’ve done my research and I’m willing to share. If you want Taylor Swift’s makeup routine, here are the go-to Taylor Swift makeup products you need:

The Secret? It’s All Pat McGrath

Pat McGrath is similar to Patrick Ta: both celebrity makeup artists-turned-beauty-brand-gurus who make incredibly viral makeup. There’s a reason they’re two of the most in-demand names in the beauty industry right now.

Tons of celebrities are often seen wearing Pat McGrath thanks to its second skin-like finish and long-lasting wear. Fans have been asking for years for Taylor Swift’s routine, and while it’s never fully been confirmed…we have an idea thanks to some internet sleuths unearthing a number of hints.

Swift collaborated with legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath for the “Bejeweled” music video from her album, Midnights, where McGrath herself even makes a cameo. Not only that, but fans have figured out she’s a regular McGrath fan thanks to the likes of Deuxmoi.

Taylor Swift’s makeup routineDeuxmoi via Instagram

So, it’s safe to say that Taylor is exclusively using Pat McGrath makeup products. It makes sense, considering they’re luxurious, premium quality, and highly celebrated by makeup artists.

And while Pat McGrath may be on the pricier end of Sephora products, it’s well worth the money. When shopping for makeup, I use Girl Math. Sure, foundation can sometimes cost upwards of $50…but that’s $50 for six months of wear…or $10 per month! So cheap.

Now that we know the brand and some of the products that Taylor’s rumored to enjoy. Here are a few:

Pat McGrath Labs LiquiLUST: Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick

We’re all aware that Taylor opts for a bold red lip, it’s kind of her signature. But don’t be afraid to try the other shades in this collection. While LiquiLUST: Legendary Wear Matte is very Taylor, it’s also great to layer with a gloss.

Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Foundation

Pricey, but well worth it. The Sublime Perfection Foundation sets in like a second skin while covering any imperfections or discoloration that you may have. It gives a subtle glow that we all love while remaining full coverage. Plus, it stays on the skin forever.

Pat McGrath Labs PERMA PRECISION Liquid Eyeliner

One of Taylor’s lyrics is literally “dry the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man” so you know when it comes to eyeliner Taylor doesn’t play. Pat McGrath Labs’ PERMA PRECISION liner is silky smooth to use and glides effortlessly over any lid…giving you an easy wing in no time.

Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Highlighter & Balm Duo

What I love about the Skin Fetish Highlighter is that they’re easy to keep in your purse for on-the-go fixes. They pack a major punch when it comes to shine, and you can put it anywhere on your face, including your eyelids for a subtle glimmer look.

Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Setting Powder and Primer

While I’m personally not a fan of primer in general, I can’t discount Taylor’s makeup regmen. It endures. It stays on her face through anything, so it’s got to be working. Plus, when you pair the same foundation, setting powder, and primer, it’s going to look cohesive.

Pat McGrath Labs Mothership VII Eyeshadow Palette- Divine Rose

I’ve spoken volumes about this palette. While it may be on the more expensive side, it’s definitely worth your money. First of all, consider how often you’re buying eyeshadow. Palettes last a long time, and this highly pigmented one is packed with color.

It’s buildable, blendable, and easy for beginners to use. Plus, the rose shades are amazing.

Kelces cash in: Travis and Jason Kelce take popular ‘New Heights’ podcast to Amazon’s Wondery

[ad_1]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, former Eagles center Jason Kelce, are taking their popular “New Heights” podcast to Amazon’s Wondery under a three-year deal that gives the company exclusive advertising sales and distribution rights.

The financial terms of the deal were not immediately available, though some reports put the total at nine figures.

The deal, announced by Wondery on Tuesday, will begin with this week’s episode, which drops Wednesday. It includes the back catalog of podcast content along with exclusive rights to monetize and distribute audio and video episodes.

“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of ‘New Heights,’” the Kelce brothers said in a statement. “We love this show and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to ‘New Heights!’”

The personable Kelce brothers launched their podcast two years ago. It initially was designed to peel back the cover on the world of professional football players, but has since expanded to touch other corners of the pop culture universe.

The weekly series was chosen podcast of the year at the 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards.

“‘New Heights’ on the surface is a sports podcast, and sports is such a well-listened-to category,” Wondery chief executive Jen Sargent said, “but it’s become a cultural phenomenon. They’re in that cultural zeitgeist.”

Travis Kelce’s celebrity status reached another level early last season, when the tight end of the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs began dating pop superstar Taylor Swift. He has several crossover projects in the works, including a 20-episode game show for Amazon Prime Video called “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?”

Jason Kelce recently retired after a 13-year career spent entirely with the Eagles. But his popularity also has been on the rise; he was frequently seen attending the Paris Olympics and will appear on “Monday Night Countdown” on ESPN.
