<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a> and Travis Kelce were spotted at the US Open and later on a double date with Patrick and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-friend-brittany-mahomes-likes-trump-post-goes-on-defense-against-haters">Brittany Mahomes</a> — after the QB’s wife’s liked a post by former President Donald Trump, then went on defense against the “haters.”
On Sunday, the 34-year-old singer and her beau Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce had some fun in the sun at the tennis tournament, where the two shared a VIP box with the Mahomes, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/09/09/sports/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-enjoy-double-date-with-patrick-and-brittany-mahomes-after-us-open-outing/">New York Post</a> reported.
The “Shake It Off” hitmaker and Kelce were then photographed looking stylish on their way to dinner in New York City at Meduza Mediterrania restaurant. Arriving separately — but to the same location — were the Kansas City Chiefs QB and his wife, the Post noted.
The group hanging out together comes amid speculation from some that there had been some rift between the ladies after Swift wasn’t seen hanging out with Brittany at the opening night of the Chiefs game in Arrowhead on Thursday.

Amid rampant speculation about her relationship, friendships, and political views, Taylor Swift spent the weekend having fun in public.<a href="https://t.co/4JYoBIBlPV">https://t.co/4JYoBIBlPV</a>

Suggestions online came from the fact that it could be because Mahomes made headlines after she hit back at those who didn’t like that she had liked a post by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-thanks-brittany-mahomes-for-defending-presidents-2024-maga-platform">Trump</a> in which he outlined his 2024 Make America Great Again platform.
In the original post shared by Trump on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-m53xGu3MY/">Instagram</a>, the former president listed “The 2024 GOP Platform” to “Make America Great Again,” noting things like tax cuts, no tax on tips, securing the border, and stopping illegal immigration. He also posted about a promise to “end inflation,” “Make America Affordable Again,” and “Keep men out of women’s sports.”
Brittany liked the post, without explaining which of the ideas she agreed with, hit back at those who tried to cancel her and delivered a clear message to leftist adults who were upset, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_B3CgGSRxC/?img_index=1">OutKick</a> reported.
“I mean honestly,” Brittany’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittanylynne/">Instagram Story</a> read. “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.”
“There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,” she added.
Not a week later, Mahomes’ wife appeared on the Whoop podcast and made it clear she doesn’t “give a f*** what people have to say about” her anymore, crediting her husband with teaching her not to worry about what others think, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-dont-give-a-f-about-critics-brittany-mahomes-after-getting-ripped-for-liking-trump-post">reported</a>.
“Yeah, I think we got kind of thrown into the fire together, and I think that’s what helped us, you know, do so well in the life that we are, is that we did it all together. And he is a lot better at it than I am, maybe because his dad played professional sports,” Brittany said. “So I think he was around it and he understood it a lot more than I did. So having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he’s very good at, you know, managing those things and blocking people out.”

NFL star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a>’s rep denied that he and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a> were staging a public breakup as a PR stunt after documents started making the rounds online.
The Daily Mail published <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13809239/Travis-Kelce-calls-lawyers-leaked-contract-claimed-reveal-exact-date-relationship-Taylor-Swift-end-Fake-PR-strategy-document-spread-online-gave-illusion-year-long-love-story-sham.html">photos</a> of papers which appeared to come from Kelce’s agency, Full Scope PR. Documents said the breakup announcement was being planned for September 28. The photos showed example statements the couple could make.
“Example: Travis and Taylor have decided to part ways after careful consideration. They both value and respect each other&#8217;s personal lives and appreciate your respect for privacy during this time,” one suggestion says. “They are both committed to their careers and personal growth. They remain friends and wish each other the best.”
The paperwork assured the statement would be “gracious, respectful and stress mutual respect.” It further said a press release would go out to all major media organizations, pitching Kelce as being focused on “personal growth” and concerned with advancing his career in sports. 
But Kelce’s rep said the breakup plan document was “entirely false and fabricated and were not created, issued or authorized by this agency,&#8221; per <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/travis-kelce-taylor-swift-breakup-contract-1948426">Newsweek</a>.
Kelce, who plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, took his relationship with mega-selling pop star Swift public in September 2023 when she was spotted at one of his games. The pair have had a high-profile relationship over the past year as he attended several of her Eras Tour concerts and she supported him through the entirety of the last football season.
Fans have been speculating for months if they’ll take their relationship to the next level, with <a href="https://pagesix.com/2024/08/02/entertainment/travis-kelce-will-propose-to-taylor-swift-soon-according-to-a-source/">Page Six</a> reporting rumors that the “engagement is happening soon.” Kelce’s rep denied that story, too. There was also talk that the “wife of a top Chiefs exec” was “telling pals in a suite” that the couple was already secretly engaged. 
Kelce’s mom, Donna, gave her opinion on the situation when asked by a reporter from <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/entertainment/2024/02/08/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-mother-nfl-interview-orig-cprog-lrf-dp.cnn">CNN</a>. “It’s totally up to them, them being happy, we don’t know anything for right now,” she said of a potential engagement at the end of last season. “That’s all you want for your children is happiness, nothing else matters.”

‘Entirely False’: Travis Kelce’s Rep Denies Staged Break Up With Taylor Swift

'Entirely False': Travis Kelce's Rep Denies Staged Break Up With Taylor Swift 

So far, Taylor Swift has stayed out of the election cycle, and yes, we are all quite shocked by it. But she’s been busy performing on tour and being in love with her normal, all-American, football-playing boyfriend. She’s also been busy getting to know all of his relatively Republican friends like Harrison Butker, Brittany Mahomes, and — randomly — my dog sitter’s brother. None of this, however, has stopped some of the Swifties from trying to mobilize for Kamala on her behalf — but not all the Swifties. 
Enter: Swifties for Trump.
In previous years, Taylor Swift has been outspoken on the American political front as depicted in her documentary, “Miss Americana.” In 2018, she spoke out in favor of Democratic Senator candidate Phil Bredesen and vehemently against Marsha Blackburn. Though she was raised in a Republican home, she girlbossed her way to despising Trump and her red home state of Tennessee. Last year, she posted an Instagram story the Tuesday before National Voter Registration Day encouraging her followers to register to vote: 
<div id="attachment_790063" style="width: 361px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790063" class="wp-image-790063 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/1swiftie.png" alt="Source: Instagram" width="351" height="345" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/1swiftie.png 351w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/1swiftie-300x295.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px" />Source: Instagram</div>
But this year? She’s been silent. And the fans have been talking about it — and not loving it. 
<div id="attachment_790067" style="width: 299px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mason2877/video/7404867414430600491?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790067" class="wp-image-790067 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/2swiftie.png" alt="Source: TikTok" width="289" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/2swiftie.png 289w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/2swiftie-169x300.png 169w" sizes="(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px" /></a>Source: TikTok</div>
TikTokers are asking questions like, “Any idea why Taylor Swift is suddenly silent on politics? Even after Trump just posted the fake images of her endorsing him? Y’all I think that man is getting to her.” There is some debate in the comments on this one as to whom “that man” is — Trump or Travis. Most believe Travis because he isn’t as Left-wing as they originally thought.
So, in Miss Swift’s silence, her fans decided to take it upon themselves to begin her political movement, creating Swifties For Kamala (@swifties4kamala) across basically every social media platform available. Their Instagram has 49k followers.
<div id="attachment_790073" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790073" class="wp-image-790073 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/3swiftie.png" alt="Source: Instagram" width="512" height="283" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/3swiftie.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/3swiftie-300x166.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Source: Instagram</div>
The Swifties for Kamala idea came from one lone Swiftie who tweeted that “U.S. swifties should mass organize and help campaign for Kamala Harris” so they can have a plan “to move and push blue votes.”
<div id="attachment_790075" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790075" class="wp-image-790075 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/4swiftie.png" alt="Source: X/Twitter" width="512" height="188" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/4swiftie.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/4swiftie-300x110.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />Source: X/Twitter</div>
The movement took off from there and ran right up to a Swifties for Kamala Zoom call. (Which makes me think maybe we should hop on this Zoom call trend. Maybe a Rational People Who Can’t Stand Kamala call?) But what a special time the call appears to have been.
<div id="attachment_790079" style="width: 302px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@eringeorgiana/video/7407963338463808811?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790079" class="wp-image-790079 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/5swiftie.png" alt="Source: TikTok" width="292" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/5swiftie.png 292w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/5swiftie-171x300.png 171w" sizes="(max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px" /></a>Source: TikTok</div>
During the call, Elizabeth Warren gave what I assume she thought were words of encouragement: “I want to start with you, and that is what I love best about Swifties. You are resilient, and you know how to take on bullies, and you know how to be your most authentic, most joyful selves. And you overcome pretty much anything that life throws at you. And that’s what the Kamala Harris campaign is all about.” What does any of that even mean? It is superficial, and it is fluff. Perhaps instead of advocating to stand up to Donald Trump, she could go do something — anything — productive for the United States.

Then, in a strange showing of one of Swift’s songs, Carole King entered the call as a surprise guest. Once upon a time, I loved Carole King. I grew up listening to her. For my own sake, she should have just sat this one out.
<div id="attachment_790085" style="width: 282px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@kristen_iz/video/7407968594476305710?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790085" class="wp-image-790085 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/6swiftie.png" alt="Source: TikTok" width="272" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/6swiftie.png 272w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/6swiftie-159x300.png 159w" sizes="(max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px" /></a>Source: TikTok</div>
But even through all the cringe, this mobilization, as they call it, does not appear to have much power behind it. That is probably why the mainstream media got involved. Cosmopolitan published an article this week <a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/a61913759/swifties-for-kamala-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">titled</a>, “Swifties for Kamala Is Mobilizing Taylor Swift Fans — Even if Taylor Herself Isn’t,” which they posted on Instagram.
<div id="attachment_790093" style="width: 347px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790093" class="wp-image-790093 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/7Swiftie.png" alt="Source: Instagram" width="337" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/7Swiftie.png 337w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/7Swiftie-197x300.png 197w" sizes="(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px" />Source: Instagram</div>
But the comments were telling quite a different story, correcting Cosmo with #swiftiesfortrump.
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-790097 aligncenter" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/8Swifitie.png" alt="" width="512" height="493" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/8Swifitie.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/8Swifitie-300x289.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></div>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-790099 aligncenter" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/9swiftie.png" alt="" width="512" height="469" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/9swiftie.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/9swiftie-300x275.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></div>
<div id="attachment_790101" style="width: 501px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790101" class="wp-image-790101 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/10swiftie.png" alt="Source: Instagram" width="491" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/10swiftie.png 491w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/10swiftie-288x300.png 288w" sizes="(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px" />Source: Instagram</div>
I would guess Cosmo wasn’t expecting this response — but they should have been. If they had spent any time on TikTok lately, they would have known better. One photo in particular seemed to circulate fast and furious:
<div id="attachment_790103" style="width: 394px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-790103" class="wp-image-790103 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/11swiftie.jpg" alt="Source: TikTok" width="384" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/11swiftie.jpg 384w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/11swiftie-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" />Source: TikTok</div>
And then Swifties for Trump really picked up steam. Now, these videos are <a href="https://twitter.com/Huberton/status/1824616864045035717?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1824616864045035717%7Ctwgr%5E0a21f4a9517f76eedb6ee525d9a99c57f1c36b6d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eviemagazine.com%2Fpost%2Fswifties-for-trump-trending-despite-media-s-propaganda-kamala" target="_blank" rel="noopener">everywhere</a>.<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@erosec/video/7403532255630544170?_r=1&amp;_t=8pEfqvZdS1O"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-790105 aligncenter" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/12swiftie.png" alt="" width="283" height="512" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/12swiftie.png 283w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/09/12swiftie-166x300.png 166w" sizes="(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px" /></a>
All hope is not lost when it comes to women or the Swifties. To reiterate a point I’ve made several times: I don’t view Taylor as a detriment to society as many conservatives do. She is a far better role model than most, is said to be quite kind, is close with her family, and upholds her values. Now, she is proving to be tolerant enough to have friends whose ideas differ from hers. That alone speaks volumes.

Opinion

Jason and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> just inked a major deal for their <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/podcast">podcast</a> rumored to be worth more than $100 million, according to an unnamed source.
According to a report from <a href="https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/kelce-brothers-podcast-wondery-new-heights-1236118594/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a>, the NFL brothers have a three-year deal with Wondery, an Amazon company that will have exclusive rights to their popular “New Heights” podcast.
Travis currently plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Jason retired earlier this year after playing 13 seasons with the Philadephia Eagles.
The outlet noted that going forward, starting Wednesday, Wondery will have global distribution rights to all audio and video episodes of “New Heights,” including an extensive back catalog of all previous content. The company will also have rights to international audio adaptations of the podcast and will hold exclusive rights to monetize and distribute episodes, the outlet noted.

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
Wondery+ subscribers will be able to access the podcast ad-free. 
“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’! We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3 — see you soon, 92%ers!”
Wondery CEO Jen Sargent also spoke of the partnership, saying its appeal extended well beyond just sports fans. “‘New Heights’ on the surface is a sports podcast, and sports is such a well-listened-to category,” she said. “But it’s become a cultural phenomenon — they’re in that cultural zeitgeist.”
Besides just talking football, the brothers use their podcast to discuss a variety of timely topics and interview celebrity guests.

Travis has been making headlines recently for his high-profile relationship with singer Taylor Swift. Rumors of their relationship began last summer when Travis mentioned on an episode of &#8220;New Heights&#8221; that he wanted to give the Grammy winner a friendship bracelet with his phone number when &#8220;The Eras Tour&#8221; came to Kansas City. 
“This all started when Travis [Kelce] very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-finally-spills-details-about-travis-kelce-romance">said later</a> of the beginnings of their romance. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”
Swift attended many Chiefs games during the 2023-2024 season, leading to an uptick in television viewers and media coverage.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift’s</a> pal, Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/patrick-mahomes-says-brittany-is-the-key-to-his-success-i-have-a-great-wife">Patrick Mahomes</a>, liked a post by former President Donald Trump, then went on defense against the “haters.”
In the original post shared by Trump on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-m53xGu3MY/">Instagram</a>, the former president listed “The 2024 GOP Platform” to “Make America Great Again,” noting things like tax cuts, no tax on tips, securing the border, and stopping illegal immigration. He also posted about a promise to “end inflation,” “Make America Affordable Again,” and “Keep men out of women’s sports.”
While it is unclear which of the items listed in the post Brittany liked, Mahomes&#8217; wife hit back at those trying to cancel her and had a message for leftist adults who were upset, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_B3CgGSRxC/?img_index=1">OutKick</a> reported.
“I mean honestly,” Brittany’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittanylynne/">Instagram Story</a> read. “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.”
“There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,” she added.

The 28-year-old’s social media account is filled with pictures of her showing support for her husband at Chiefs games with their two kids in tow, a daughter and son.

And there are also <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brittanylynne/">pictures</a> of Brittany and Swift together at Chiefs games as Taylor’s been dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce for more than a year.
On the final night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, a rumor was helped spread by the legacy media that a surprise guest would be making an appearance.

Speculation soon surfaced that it could be the “Shake It Off” hitmaker or Beyoncé, both of whom have shown their support for Democratic presidential nominees in the past. Before Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage, Beyoncé’s crew said she would not be there and had no plans to be.
Swifties have been eagerly waiting to see if the superstar singer will possibly throw her endorsement to Harris, something some have suggested could affect the 2024 Election. Swift previously endorsed President Joe Biden and Harris during the 2020 election, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/taylor-swift-endorses-joe-biden-president-n1242483">NBC News</a> noted.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/adam-sandler">Adam Sandler</a> confirmed rumors that Kansas City Chiefs tight end <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce,</a> who’s been making headlines all year for his high-profile romance with pop star Taylor Swift, will have a cameo in the upcoming comedy “Happy Gilmore 2.”
“Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” the actor said on a Tuesday night appearance of “The Tonight Show.” 
“He’s gonna come by,&#8221; Sandler continued. &#8220;He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud and he’s so funny.”

The actor was referring to comments Kelce made about the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">movie</a> on an episode of his own podcast in May. Kelce said he was a “huge fan of the Sandman [Sandler]” and would do “anything” to have a chance to appear in the movie.
“I didn’t even know there was a job opening on ‘Happy Gilmore 2.’ I’ll be a f***ing extra… anything to get around Happy Gilmore, an Adam Sandler film or set — count me in,” he said at the time. 
Kelce’s brother and podcast co-host, Jason Kelce, shut down the rumors, saying there was “no evidence” the cameo was happening.
“[No evidence] other than the movie’s getting made and I’m looking for movie deals,” Travis shot back, Billboard <a href="https://www.billboard.com/culture/tv-film/adam-sandler-travis-kelce-cameo-happy-gilmore-1235757435/">reported</a>. “Who knows? Theories can come true. Theories can be true and people just don’t know about it. I might even be in the talking and nobody knows about it, but I could also not be in the talking. I’ll do anything in the movie. I’ll be part of it any way I possibly can.”

Netflix announced in May that it was moving forward with a sequel to the 1996 golf comedy “Happy Gilmore,” starring Sandler as the titular character.
It’s not unprecedented for Kelce to make an appearance, as the original “Happy Gilmore” featured cameos from sports stars and celebrities, including golfer Lee Trevino, sportscaster Verne Lundquist, and former &#8220;The Price Is Right&#8221; host Bob Barker. Other Sandler productions included stars such as former NFL greats Lawrence Taylor, Michael Irvin, and Dan Marino, along with former professional wrestlers Bill Goldberg, Steve Austin, and Kevin Nash.
Kelce, 34, has already dipped his toes into the world of entertainment. He has a role in the upcoming FX horror series “Grotesquerie” and is hosting the Amazon Prime game show reboot “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” The nine-time Pro-Bowler is also in talks to star in the action comedy remake “Loose Cannons.”
There is no planned release date for “Happy Gilmore 2.” The highly anticipated sequel is slated to start filming in September.

Kansas City Chiefs star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> made a surprise appearance on stage at his girlfriend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift&#8217;s</a> “The Eras Tour&#8221; concert show in London on Sunday.
In <a href="https://x.com/BAHjournalist/status/1804974599672918521">videos and clips</a> posted on social media from the third show at Wembley Stadium, Kelce appeared dressed in a tuxedo and top hat as part of the outfit change introduction to the 34-year-old singer’s hit song “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” from her new “The Tortured Poets Department” album.
Kelce stepped in for one of her dancers as he carried Swift across the stage and pretended to do her makeup and get her ready to perform the song. 
The NFL football star was greeted by loud applause and cheers as fans went crazy seeing Kelce and Swift together on stage, with both grinning from ear to ear, before the superstar singer took the mic from another dancer and started singing the popular song.

On Monday, Swift posted a couple pictures on her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C8myZeBOoV6/?img_index=1">Instagram</a> from the latest Wembley show and mentioned how she was still &#8220;swooning&#8221; from the interaction with Kelce in her show.
“Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal,” Swift captioned her post. “Looking out into crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME … Those were some of the loudest crowds I’ve ever heard.”
“Acoustic sections went OFF. I got to sing ‘Castles Crumbling’ with<a href="https://www.instagram.com/yelyahwilliams/"> @yelyahwilliams</a> for the first time — hadn’t performed with her since 2011 and man my heart was just so full of love for her and our friendship,” she added. “Then the impossibly gifted and wonderful<a href="https://www.instagram.com/gracieabrams/"> @gracieabrams</a> came and surprised the crowd with the first performance of our song ‘us.’”
“And I’m still cracking up/swooning over <a href="https://www.instagram.com/killatrav/">@killatrav</a>’s Eras Tour debut,” Swift continued. “Never going to forget these shows. Can’t wait to do it 5 more times in August. Up next: Dublin!!&#8221;
It was only the second time she’s posted on her Instagram about her NFL star boyfriend. Days earlier, the “Shake It Off” hitmaker went Instagram official with their relationship when she posted a picture from her first London show posing with Prince William, Princess Charlotte, Prince George, and Kelce, who were all at her show.
She captioned the post, “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start <a href="https://www.instagram.com/princeandprincessofwales/">@princeandprincessofwales</a>.”
The Kansas City tight end and “Blank Space” hitmaker have been linked together since last summer.
It was previously believed the two had their first date after she attended his game on September 24. However, Swift later made it clear their relationship started weeks before and they were a couple by the time she went to his first game, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-finally-spills-details-about-travis-kelce-romance">reported</a>.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> pondered whether singer-songwriter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a> is actually liberal.
Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh asked Trump about Swift during a November 2023 interview for his forthcoming book, &#8220;Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.&#8221;
&#8220;I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented,&#8221; Trump said. “I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!&#8221;
Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/donald-trump-taylor-swift-beautiful-liberal-apprentice-1236030425/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Monday that Trump also questioned whether Swift has been putting on a show when it comes to her politics.
&#8220;She is liberal, or is that just an act?&#8221; Trump asked Setoodeh. &#8220;She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.&#8221;
When Setoodeh noted that Swift has not released a country album since &#8220;Red&#8221; in 2012, Trump replied, &#8220;Garth Brooks is liberal. Explain that! How does it happen?&#8221;
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-posts-about-taylor-swift-probably-liberal-boyfriend-travis-kelce-ahead-of-super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opined</a> about Swift in a February post to <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111913990846366079" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Truth Social</a> right before the singer showed up at the Super Bowl to watch her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, play in the game.
At the time, some &#8220;MAGA&#8221; enthusiasts <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/30/us/politics/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speculated</a> that Swift got into a relationship with Kelce as part of a political scheme <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/30/media/taylor-swift-super-bowl-right-wing-conspiracy/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">or &#8220;op&#8221;</a> in which the music star might endorse President Joe Biden during the Super Bowl or in the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/01/29/business/chiefs-will-win-super-bowl-taylor-swift-will-endorse-biden-vivek-ramaswamy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">months that followed</a>.

&#8220;I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will,&#8221; Trump said.
Trump quipped that there was &#8220;no way&#8221; Swift could endorse Biden, whom he described as corrupt, &#8220;and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money.&#8221;
He added, &#8220;Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!&#8221;
Swift has yet to back a presidential candidate in the 2024 contest, but she did endorse Biden in the run-up to the 2020 election and <a href="https://twitter.com/taylorswift13/status/1313938080290803715" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> a photo of herself holding a plate of cookies decorated to show support for the Democrat ticket.

Travis Kelce finally broke his silence about Kansas City Chiefs kicker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-head-coach-andy-reid-and-qb-patrick-mahomes-defend-teammate-harrison-butker">Harrison Butker</a> amid a backlash against his teammate over his commencement speech.
During the Kelce brothers’ “New Heights” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzXZM1wLRJk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> on Friday, Travis defended Butker, calling him a “great person” and more amid attacks from the Left over <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-kicker-slams-biden-and-dei-in-commencement-speech">Butker’s speech</a> to the graduates at Benedictine College — when he praised his wife for being a “homemaker,” called out President Joe Biden’s support for abortion, and criticized LGBT “Pride month.”
“I have known him for seven plus, eight plus years,” the Chief’s player said. “I cherish him as a teammate. I think Pat [Mahomes] said it best where he [Butker] is every bit of a great person and a great teammate. He’s treated friends and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness.”
“That’s how he treats everyone,” he added. “When it comes down to his views and what he said at Saint Benedict’s commencement speech, those are his. I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids. And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life, that’s just not who I am.”

“I grew up in a beautiful upbringing of different social classes, different religions, different races and ethnicities in Cleveland Heights. &#8230; It showed me a broad spectrum, just a broad view of a lot of different walks of life,” Kelce continued. “And I appreciated every single one of those people for different reasons, and I never once had to feel like I needed to judge them based off of their beliefs.”
Kelce opened up about the home he grew up in, praising his mother and father for both being “homemakers and providers.” He said they were “unbelievable at being present every single day of my life. That was a beautiful upbringing for me.”

Jason added that it was “a commencement speech at a Catholic university, and, shocker, it ended up being a very religious and Catholic speech.&#8221;
Travis’ comments were similar to what Chief’s head coach <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-head-coach-andy-reid-and-qb-patrick-mahomes-defend-teammate-harrison-butker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andy Reid and KC QB Patrick Mahomes</a> said during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/wXvi5ttZfwY">press conference</a> when the two answered questions about the off-field distractions surrounding <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-kicker-slams-biden-and-dei-in-commencement-speech">Butker’s speech</a>.
“We’re a microcosm of life here,” Reid said. “Everybody is from different areas, different religions, different races. And so we all get along, we all respect each other’s opinions. And not necessarily do we go by those, but we respect everybody to have a voice. It’s the great thing about America, man. And we’re just … a microcosm of that. My wish is that everybody could follow that.”
When Mahomes took the mic, he echoed a similar sentiment and said he’s known Butker for seven years, and he chooses to judge the placekicker by the character that he “shows every single day, and that’s a good person.”

NFL star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> is working on another entertainment project. 
The 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end just signed on for a role in the new Ryan Murphy horror series for FX, Grotesquerie. <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/05/travis-kelce-cast-grotesquerie-ryan-murphy-fx-1235908246/">According</a> to Deadline, not many details are available yet, except that Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B.

“I don’t know when it started, I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s different now. There’s been a shift, like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole that descends into a nothingness,” she can be heard saying. 
“You say, ‘Well, hon, evil has always existed.’ You cite some statistic about how the world is getting better. Less murder. Less global horror. ‘Never been a better time to be alive.’ It’s not getting better! Something’s happening around us, and nobody sees it but me,” the teaser concludes.
Murphy is best known for popular projects including “American Horror Story,” “Nip/Tuck,” “Glee,” “American Crime Story,” “Pose,” “9-1-1,” and “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.”
Kelce has been expanding his repertoire beyond football, including participating in his reality dating series “Catching Kelce,” which ran for one season in 2016. The athlete also just signed on to host Amazon’s “Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?” game show.

Kelce recently worked as an executive producer on the indie film “My Dead Friend Zoe,” which premiered at SXSW this spring. He will also serve as producer of the upcoming documentary “King Pleasure,” which is a documentary about artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, the outlet noted. Kelce hosted “Saturday Night Live” in March 2023. He also hosts a podcast, “New Heights” with his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce.
Kelce has been making headlines most frequently thanks to his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift. The two have been spotted being affectionate in public on multiple occasions, which is a departure from how Swift usually behaves with the men she dates.

Kelce was one of many current and former NFL players who participated in last year’s NFL broadcast boot camp, the outlet noted. During the camp, the league teaches players all about broadcasting and Kelce was seen as a star performer.
Exactly where Kelce would land has been a hot topic during the offseason following his announcement in March that he was walking away from the league after 13 years.
Multiple networks were reportedly pursuing him due to the popularity of the Kelce brothers&#8217; <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/podcast-travis-jason-kelce-wins-prize-iheartpodcast-awards-1235850321/">podcast,</a> which was launched in September 2022, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jefffedotin/2022/12/02/how-travis-kelce-and-jason-kelces-new-heights-podcast-comes-together/?sh=71ce38845bc4">Forbes</a> noted.

The changes over at ESPN come after CBS announced that two of the longtime hosts of “The NFL Today,” retired NFL players Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason, were <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/nfl-today-matt-ryan-phil-simms-boomer-esiason-cbs-1235886006/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaving</a> the show, per The Hollywood Reporter. The network announced that the former NFL MVP QB Matt Ryan will move to the pregame desk alongside Bill Cowher, JJ Watt, James Brown, and Nate Burleson for the upcoming season.
“Matt had an outstanding first year at <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/t/cbs-sports/">CBS Sports</a>, excelling as both a studio and game analyst,” CBS Sports president and CEO David Berson said in a statement.

“He is the consummate team player and a Hall of Fame person,” the statement added. “We love the chemistry he has with the studio crew, and we’re excited to see him entertain NFL fans and share his passion, insight and perspective alongside JB, Nate, Coach and JJ.”
“Phil and Boomer set the standard of excellence for NFL analysts,” Berson continued. “We are so grateful for their immeasurable contributions to CBS Sports. We genuinely thank them for being incredible teammates and for their passion, dedication and commitment to elevating CBS Sports’ NFL coverage every season.”
Simms joined CBS in 1998 and was the lead game analyst until he moved to the studio in 2017, while Esiason was on “The NFL Today” for 22 years, the outlet noted. Both their CBS contracts expired after the Super Bowl in February, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nfl-cbs-ryan-simms-boomer-20f9cdd8b2b2ff894f06f3c9443da3b5">Associated Press</a> noted.
“Great 26 yrs run with CBS SPORTS,” <a href="https://x.com/PhilSimmsQB/status/1784943898923524327">Simms</a> captioned his post on social media. &#8220;Even though that part of my career is over I look forward to what is next.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> joked that he has no idea how he won over his current girlfriend, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taylor Swift</a>, noting that she &#8220;wasn&#8217;t even into sports.&#8221;
During the Kansas City Chiefs star player&#8217;s &#8220;New Heights&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycerVWCQk9g">podcast</a> on Wednesday with brother Jason Kelce, their guest host rapper/comedian Lil Dicky asked the Kelce brothers how they were dealing with all the attention they&#8217;ve received since Travis and the &#8220;Love Story&#8221; hitmaker started dating. (1:16:55)
&#8220;It&#8217;s not changed that much for me,&#8221; Jason Kelce replied, while his brother Travis said, &#8220;It&#8217;s fun&#8221; and said that he&#8217;s &#8220;having a blast in life, baby.&#8221;
&#8220;Just flying high, enjoying it all,&#8221; the Chiefs star continued. &#8220;Bringing new lives to the football world and opening up the football world up to new things.&#8221;
Lil Dicky — born David Andrew Burd — called the superstar couple&#8217;s romance &#8220;the best thing ever.&#8221;

&#8220;I think there&#8217;s just something that makes everyone feel like the world is like high school, where your most popular pop star beloved musician somehow how met your most popular beloved athlete and they actually fell in love and it&#8217;s just real,&#8221; the rapper added. &#8220;Anyone who hates on it is like a bitter loser. &#8230; There&#8217;s something so American about it.&#8221;
&#8220;I appreciate it, man,&#8221; Travis replied. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how I did it because she wasn&#8217;t into sports, so I don&#8217;t know how the f**k I did it.&#8221;
Lil Dicky interjected, &#8220;Well you did because you called her out on …&#8221; referencing what <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-finally-spills-details-about-travis-kelce-romance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Swift</a> told fans about how impressed she was after Kelce gave her a shoutout on his podcast last summer.

&#8220;No, I know exactly how I did it,&#8221; Travis replied.
During the NFL offseason, Kelce and the &#8220;Blank Space&#8221; hitmaker have spent time together in the States and abroad after he traveled to support Swift at her &#8220;The Eras Tour” concert shows in Australia and Singapore.
Swift and Kelce recently got back from a vacation in The Bahamas. Photos surfaced online showing the two holding hands, kissing in the water, and enjoying themselves as Swift is currently on a break from her worldwide &#8220;The Eras Tour&#8221; until May, when the European leg of the tour starts.
The &#8220;Shake It Off&#8221; hitmaker and Kansas City tight end have been linked together since last summer.
It was previously believed the two had their first date after she attended his game on September 24. However, Swift later made it clear their relationship started weeks before and they were a couple by the time she went to his first game, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/taylor-swift-finally-spills-details-about-travis-kelce-romance">reported</a>.
