TAYLOR SWIFT'S CHANGE IN APPEARANCE TURNS HEADS AFTER TRAVIS KELCE WEDDING

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce spoke to reporters for the first time as a married man on Day 13 of training camp. Kelce tied the knot with Taylor Swift in front of over 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden on July 3.

“It was a fun offseason, man,” Kelce said. “Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and, you know, had fun with us. And yeah, that’s about all I really got from that night. It was a crazy night. It was it was full of a lot of celebration, but it’s football, baby.”

The 36-year-old veteran, entering his 14th season in the NFL, made it clear his focus was on football. “I still got a lot of love for this game,” he said. “You know, I still think I can go out and play at a high level, and I want to go out there and prove to myself that I could play at a better level than I did last year.

“I think that’s probably the biggest thing for me is making sure that I’m accountable for the guys in this room and every single play that I’m out there.”

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce called his wedding to Taylor Swift ‘the best night of my life.’

Swift has kept an extremely low profile since marrying Kelce. One week after Kelce and Swift tied the knot, they jetted off to the opposite coast to attend New York Giants wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk’s wedding in Southern California. This outing marked the famous couple’s first public appearance as husband and wife, during which Swift proudly showed off her new wedding ring.

While Kelce continues working hard at practice, the 14-time Grammy winner made her first solo appearance since the wedding.

Fans Gushed Over Taylor Swift’s Appearing to Have a New Haircut in London

While Kelce caused a stir with the return of his training camp facial hair, it appears Swift also made an adjustment to her usual look. Photographed while exiting Annabel’s, a private club in London, fans gushed over her shorter hair.

One fan commented on X, “DID SHE CUT HER HAIR?!? IT LOOKS SO SHORT LIKE IM GETTING 1989 VIBES!” A Swiftie added, “The hair is short omg.” One X user posted, “her hair is so short omg.”

Another person wrote, “The dress???? The hair?? Oh Taylor you are stunning.”

The 36-year-old wore a lavender Delphine minidress and Aquazzura stilettos, per Page Six.

Taylor Swift Joined Travis Kelce at 1587 Prime on His Off Day

With the Chiefs having Sunday off from practice, Kelce and Swift enjoyed dinner at 1587 Prime on August 8, the restaurant the Chiefs star co-owns with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. A tip to DeuxMoi wrote that they were “under heavy guard.”

Photos shared on X show the pop star sitting at a booth at the steakhouse. The restaurant’s cocktail menu features a nod to the singer with a special drink called “The Alchemy,” the name of a Kelce-inspired song from her album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The drink, made with vodka, Pierre Ferrand dry curaçao, aronia berry, cranberry, strawberry, lime, and oolong, arrives with a unique fire presentation.

JALEN BRUNSON WEIGHS IN ON TAYLOR SWIFT KNICKS CONTROVERSY AS HE DEFENDS RADIO HOST WHO TOLD POPSTAR TO 'GET OUT' OF MSG ON HOT MIC

 New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson used his winning momentum after claiming the NBA title to try and call off the Swifties on behalf of his friend Monica McNutt

McNutt drew the ire of fans of Taylor Swift after the pop star was spotted at Madison Square Garden for Game 4 of the NBA Finals last week.

In an apparent hot-mic moment, McNutt was heard saying, 'She's not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl.'

Her fans then jumped to her defense - pointing to Swift's multiple past appearances at MSG for Knicks games and her residence in New York City.

After the backlash, Brunson took the radio host's microphone during a post-game interview to advocate on her behalf.

The Finals MVP playfully bumped McNutt before saying, 'I just want to say something to the Swifties: She's a really good one, cut her some slack. It's all good. I promise.'

McNutt made a comment about Taylor Swift attending Game 4 of the NBA Finals

McNutt apologized to Swift saying she was unaware of the singer's history with the Knicks

After the backlash, McNutt provided an open apology to Swift, saying her feelings came from the singer's previous attendance in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland alongside fiancée and Cavaliers fan Travis Kelce.

'Swifties, I appreciate your passion, I said what I said,' McNutt told TMZ in a street interview between Games 4 and 5 of the NBA Finals. 

'Here's the deal, if I'm wrong, I am wrong apparently because she's got an original Amar'e Stoudemire [Knicks] jersey. I misspoke. I did not know. 

'But here's the deal, context, I literally just did a piece on Celebrity Row. I've been with his organization for five years. I know these folks — Ben Stiller, his wife Christine [Taylor], Spike Lee, Fat Joe. I had not seen her here this year or last year and we just saw her in Cleveland with her fiancée.

'Obviously Travis supports the Cavs. She didn't have any Knicks paraphernalia [on at the game], so I didn't know of her Knicks loyalty. But shoutout to T. Swift, we can be united in orange and blue, it's fine.

'I did not know, I apologize if I'm wrong and apparently I am wrong and that fine but I did not know, because come on now — every Knicks fan has been in the building this year. So it's all good.'

TAYLOR SWIFT AMONG PROMINENT CELEBRITIES AT MSG FOR NBA FINALS GAME 4

The New York Knicks arrived at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night hoping to Shake It Off after their Game 3 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals. 

And MSG had a new famous face in celebrity row for Game 4, with pop star Taylor Swift in the house getting another look at a venue she may soon know All Too Well.

The 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist joined the Knicks’ celebrity contingent with the team holding a 2-1 series lead. Swift is reportedly scheduled to marry Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden on July 3, turning Wednesday night’s finals appearance into something of a scouting trip for her future wedding venue.

While significant security measures were in place for Donald Trump’s attendance at Monday night’s game, the president spent much of the evening in a bulletproof-encased suite alongside Knicks owner James Dolan near the top of the arena.

Swift, meanwhile, sat courtside with Alana and Este Haim, and the rest of New York’s celebrities, including Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and Fat Joe. Swift showed her support for New York’s team while wearing a “Stevie Knicks” shirt.

It’s not the first NBA playoff game Swift has attended this year. Alongside Kelce, Swift sat courtside for Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Knicks. Kelce is a Cleveland native and a known Cavaliers fan. However, both Swift and Kelce were condemned to watching Jalen Brunson score 30 points and lead his Knicks to a 121-108 win over Cleveland to go up 3-0 in that series on the way to a 4-0 sweep.

TAYLOR SWIFT ENGAGED | ' HOPEFULLY THIS ONE WILL STICK FOREVER': IGA SWIATEK REACTS TO ENGAGEMENT

For Iga Swiatek, the engagement news was as thrilling as her own record-breaking performance

Iga Swiatek's US Open victory was overshadowed by news of Taylor Swift's engagement to Travis Kelce. The tennis star, a devoted Swiftie, expressed her excitement for Swift, highlighting her long-standing admiration for the singer. Swiatek credited Swift's music with aiding her English learning and personal growth, even attending her 'Eras Tour' and receiving a handwritten note.

World No. 2 Iga Swiatek stormed into the second round of the US Open on Tuesday with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 victory over Colombia’s Emiliana Arango — but it was Taylor Swift’s engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce that dominated her post-match spotlight.

The Polish star, a self-confessed “Swiftie,” barely had time to leave Arthur Ashe Stadium before news of the pop icon’s engagement swept through Flushing Meadows. For Swiatek, the update was as thrilling as her own record-breaking performance, which saw her notch a 65th consecutive first-round win at WTA-level events, surpassing Monica Seles’ historic mark.

"I’m just happy for her, because she deserves the best," Swiatek told reporters, her face lighting up at the mention of Swift.

"Obviously she had a lot of boyfriends, so we know all about that. Hopefully this one will stick forever. Travis seems like a great guy. She seems super happy, so I’m happy for her. I wish them all the best."

— Tennis (@Tennis)

Swiatek’s devotion to Swift runs deep. The 24-year-old has often credited the singer’s music with helping her learn English and cope with the challenges of adolescence. After her French Open triumph in 2023, she even attended Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ concert in Liverpool — a win that earned her a handwritten note from Swift herself.

Revealing her journey as a fan since 2014, Swiatek said: "I just followed everything. I was following her, but also fan pages to see the updates. When the Reputation album came out, I’ve got to say I didn’t really like it that much. So I had a little break. But then in 2019, and when Folklore and Evermore were released during Covid, I started listening to Taylor again. It’s great. But I like Reputation now. Don’t worry."

She also hit back at Swift’s detractors, insisting: "I don’t get it, because she just makes our world better."

So intense was the focus on Swift that when one reporter requested to move on to a "non-Taylor question," Swiatek playfully retorted: "No."

The six-time Grand Slam champion now turns her attention back to tennis, with a second-round clash against the Netherlands’ Suzan Lamens.

TAYLOR SWIFT ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT WITH TRAVIS KELCE, DEBUTS ESTIMATED $400,000 RING IN RALPH LAUREN DRESS

The 35-year-old Grammy winner started dating the Kansas City Chiefs player in 2023.

Taylor Swift is set to marry Travis Kelce after two years of dating.

The 35-year-old Grammy-winning artist took to her Instagram on Tuesday afternoon to announce her engagement to the Kansas City Chiefs player alongside a carousel of images from the intimate proposal. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” her caption read. The news of their engagement comes two years after the couple were first romantically linked.

With the announcement, Swift also unveiled the diamond on her finger. New York-based jeweler Briony Raymond told WWD Swift’s ring appears to be an “elongated antique cushion cut, between six to eight carats, in a vintage-inspired 18k yellow gold mounting with a warmer color laid out diamond.” Raymond estimated the price to be between $250,000 and $400,000, depending on the color.

In the photos, Swift can be seen wearing a black and white striped mid-calf dress by Polo Ralph Lauren, featuring a ruched bodice, paired with strappy brown block heels by Louis Vuitton in a verdant garden. She and Kelce were photographed standing under a vine arch with white, pink and red flowers weaving between the long greenery.

Swift’s makeup was comprised of her everyday combination: winged black eyeliner and red lipstick, only the shade on her lips was a touch more coral. Meanwhile, her nails were painted a pink-nude shade,

Swift and Kelce seemingly confirmed their relationship in September 2023, when the “Midnights” singer was spotted at one of Kelce’s Chiefs games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Since then, the two have been publicly supporting one another, both during football season and throughout Swift’s Eras Tour series. The vocalist recently joined Kelce and his older brother, Jason, on the “New Heights” podcast to announce her latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”

HOW JASON AND TRAVIS KELCE REACTED TO TAYLOR SWIFT'S BOMBSHELL ALBUM REVEAL LIVE ON THEIR NEW HEIGHTS PODCAST

Jason and Travis Kelce's hilarious reaction to Taylor Swift's new album reveal has been captured in another promo video for this week's special episode of New Heights.

The pop sensation, who is dating Chiefs star Travis and appears as a guest on this week's episode, revealed that her 12th studio album will be called 'The Life of a Showgirl.'

She released the news at 12:12am ET on August 12 and at the same time a clip appeared on the social media pages of New Heights, the podcast co-hosted by the Kelce brothers.

'So I wanted to show you something,' Swift, who is sitting alongside her boyfriend, tells Jason in the clip.

'What do we got?' he asks, while Travis smirks, sticks out his tongue and grows increasingly giddy. 

Swift then digs out a personalized briefcase and opens it up. 'What's in it?' the elder Kelce brother asks. 

'This is my brand new album, "The Life of a Showgirl,"' Swift explains, pulling out the record. The album cover is blurred in the New Heights video.

'TS 12!' shouts Travis, who is now covered in glitter, while Jason screams: 'ARGH!!'

Shortly after midnight, the 20-second clip had amassed 38,000 retweets and 76,000 likes on X in just 20 minutes. 

Swift also had a countdown to the announcement on her website, which briefly crashed after the clock reached zero. 

Earlier on Monday night, the pop star and her NFL boyfriend gave fans a flirty and foul-mouthed first glimpse of their New Heights podcast appearance.

Travis and his brother Jason co-host the popular show and supporters have long been calling for the Chief star's girlfriend to be brought on. This week, their wish will be granted at last.

Swift's appearance was first teased on Monday morning with a mystery silhouette that fans believed to be the pop star, before a 13-second clip confirming her presence dropped at 10pm. 

'It's such a nice color on you,' Swift says to Travis, who is wearing a blue hoodie. 'Yes,' he replies. 'I know, it's the color of your eyes, sweetie. That's why we match so well.'

Not Taylor Swift after all

Barcelona are reportedly set to wear the logo of rapper Travis Scott on their shirts for the next La Liga Clasico with Real Madrid in May.

As part of their sponsorship deal with Spotify, Barca have worn cutomised shirts in recent Clasico clashes with their bitter rivals in the Spanish top flight.

Taylor Swift had been touted as being Barca’s ‘first choice’ for the next fixture in May, but the Catalans will go for Travis Scott instead, according to Ara.

Scott is therefore set to follow in the foosteps of Drake, Rosalía, The Rolling Stones, Karol G and Coldplay in featuring on Barca shirts for the iconic fixture.

The America rapper is one of the most popular artists on Spotify. He has more than 68 million monthly listeners, only Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish have more.

The game is due to take place on May 11 at Montjuic, with kick-off scheduled for 4.15pm local time.

TRAVIS KELCE'S EX-GIRLFRIEND CELEBRATES PHILADELPHIA EAGLES SUPER BOWL WIN ON FIELD

It was not a great Super Bowl for Kansas City Chiefs legend Travis Kelce.

The Chiefs superstar finished the game with four receptions for 39 yards and was unable to find the end zone. To make matters worse, Taylor Swift was showered with boos upon being shown on video monitors throughout Caesars Superdome.

While Kelce, 35, contemplates retirement, his ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, was on the field celebrating with the Eagles.

While Nicole has been adamant that she wasn’t hung up on the Chiefs superstar that she dated publicly for years, it had to feel pretty damn good to be the one celebrating on the field while the Chiefs shook hands and took that long, sad walk back to the locker room. 

During their relationship, she was also vehemently against the WAG (wives and girlfriends) label that is commonly used to describe the significant others of athletes.

“I feel like doctors’ wives don’t call themselves D.A.G.s… You know what I mean?” 

That’s actually a good argument. We’ll give her that one.

Everyone knows that Kelce’s new relationship with Taylor Swift has taken the media by storm. She is consistently shown on social media arriving at the stadium, waving at cameras and heading up to the suite. After damn near every single Chiefs touchdown, she is shown on the broadcast celebrating and hugging Donna Kelce.

Swift, who is from Pennsylvania and grew up an Eagles fan, looked visibly anxious while her hometown team pummeled her boyfriend in the Super Bowl. 

The internet is running with speculation on why Kelce’s ex was there and how she got on the field to celebrate with the Eagles. Nobody really has any concrete theories on why she was there.

To add to the relationship drama, Eagles defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson took some shots at Kelce on Instagram after the Super Bowl, stating that he should have stayed with his ex and made quite the comparison about their appearances.

While the Chiefs conquest for three straight Super Bowls fell hilariously short, Kelce is left contemplating his future in the NFL. While he figures out his future on the gridiron, his past and present relationships are making all of the headlines in the week after the game.

TAYLOR SWIFT FANS REACT TO NFL'S TRAVIS KELCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs are heading into the NFL playoffs with a first-round bye after a 15-2 regular season.

As the Chiefs prepare for a postseason run in search of their third straight Super Bowl title, the NFL's official social media account posted notable news regarding Kelce.

Kelce won the 2024 Nationwide Charity Challenge. Given the honors, Kelce was awarded a $35,000 donation for his foundation, 87 & Running.

According to Karen Davis at Nationwide, 87 & Running is a nonprofit organization founded in 2015 used to help disadvantaged youth succeed.

He's now won the Nationwide Charity Challenge two times in the last five years, earning over two million votes in 2024.

SOOO deserved pic.twitter.com/fvtfQiLV4Q

After the news of Kelce's charitable winnings, fans of Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, took to social media to congratulate the Chiefs tight end, mentioning she would be "so proud" of him.

"Swift would be proud," said one fan.

"Thanks taylor swift!" said another fan.

"Congrats Travis!" mentioned one fan.

"Taylors fella?" commented one fan.

"Taylor couldn't be more proud - given the wholesome charitable woman that she appears to be," said one fan.

"Yay!!!! Congrats to Travis and 87 & Running!!!" said another fan.

Aside from his impact off the field, Kelce was also an incredible contributor to the Chiefs' success during the 2024 regular season.

Kelce finished the regular season with three touchdowns and 823 yards on 97 receptions. He led the Chiefs in total receptions and receiving yards.

SOURCE: CHIEFS SIGN TRAVIS KELCE TO A 2-YEAR, $34.25M CONTRACT

 KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs gave tight end Travis Kelce a significant raise with a new two-year contract Monday.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the deal is worth $34.25 million with $17 million fully guaranteed for this season and most of the rest to be guaranteed on the third day of the 2025 league year.

"Hard to put in words what Travis means to this organization, this city, and he was certainly a priority to adjust his contract for us and it was something that was important for Clark [Hunt]. So very fitting that Travis [is] now the highest-paid tight end in these two years," general manager Brett Veach said Monday.

In a video posted to X by the Chiefs, Kelce said it was "an honor and a pleasure and I can't wait to get after it these next two years ... Chiefs forever.''

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated the extension for his favorite target by posting to X, "I told yall I'll never let him leave!! Congrats my guy! @tkelce''

"Every now and then you have one of these guys that are outliers and certainly Travis is one of those players," Veach said when asked how much longer Kelce, 34, can play. "Today we had a chance to get out there in Phase 2 [of the offseason program] and guys were out there running around, and Travis was the first guy in line, and I mean he looked like he was 28 years old.

"The odds of someone playing this far into the thirties are very low, but it does happen, and it happens with just unicorns in the profession, and Travis is one of those and we'll certainly celebrate this with him and hopefully we can ride this thing even longer. So, we'll just have to wait and see. But I've seen no signs of [Kelce] slowing down and everyone notices the kind of postseason he had, and he just found that extra gear and these special ones, these special players are always able to find that extra gear.

"If anybody could do it, Travis can.''

Kelce in 2023 fell 16 yards short of his eighth straight 1,000-yard season. He missed the first game of the season with a knee injury and sat out the last game to rest for the playoffs. Seven straight 1,000-yard seasons is a record for his position.

Kelce, who has been selected to nine consecutive Pro Bowls and is a four-time first-team All-Pro, had 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns last season.

In the postseason, he added 32 catches for 355 yards and four touchdowns as he helped the Chiefs win a second consecutive Super Bowl and third in five seasons.

Kelce has 907 receptions for 11,328 yards and 74 touchdowns in 11 NFL seasons. In 22 postseason games, he has an NFL-record 165 catches for 1,903 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Kelce has also become a crossover star, thanks in part to his relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift and his appearances on shows such as "Saturday Night Live." The podcast he hosts with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has become one of the most popular across several genres, and he will soon host a quiz show on Amazon Prime.

TAYLOR SWIFT SHARES THE GLARE WITH KELCE, MAHOMES ON SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

Reuters 

 Pop superstar Taylor Swift chugged a drink, bit her nails, buried her face in her hands and hugged her friends throughout a nerve-shredding Super Bowl LVIII.

At the end, it was hugs and kisses for her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce on a field smothered with glitter and ticker tape as the world digested an epic, dynasty-creating victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Swift was central to the Super Bowl story all week but at the conclusion of the 25-22 overtime win she was just another exhausted, ecstatic fan like so many around her, happy to share superstar billing with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes - for one day at least.

Swift had been performing in Tokyo on Saturday, and when she took her seat at the Allegiant Stadium, it ended a week-long will-she-won't-she saga that had dominated the lead-up to the football event of the year.

Her arrival some two hours before kick-off had fired an almost palpable frisson around the stadium and social media rapidly filled with pictures and video footage of the singer.

The cameras followed her as she walked through the bowels of the stadium with friends Blake Lively and Ice Spice dressed in a black top, black jeans and with a red Chiefs jacket slung over her shoulder.

VEGAS SPECTACLE LAUNCHES SUPER BOWL WEEK, WITH TAYLOR SWIFT ON EVERYONE'S LIPS

USA TODAY Sports 

 Super Bowl week opened on Monday night with a sensory-overload spectacle at the Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium, and a sprinkling of Taylor Swift.

Bellowing announcers, thumping music, dancers, drummers and painted men flooded the in-field while more than 23,000 paying fans filled the stands of the arena, waving flags and placards while howling at the master of ceremonies and jeering the Kansas City Chiefs.

Never known for understatement, Vegas certainly put on a show to kick-start the city’s first Super Bowl. The defending Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday for the cherished Vince Lombardi Trophy.

“Now you’re firing me up, making me want to play right now, baby,” laughed tight end Travis Kelce as boos rained down from the stands. “Whooooooo... I love the boos more than I love the cheers, keep ‘em coming Niners gang, keep ‘em coming.”

Kelce and pop superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift bring even more glitz to this Vegas Super Bowl as their relationship is on everybody’s lips.

“I’ve never seen a Super Bowl opening like this,” Kelce smiled. “It feels like Christmas,” he laughed, as a female journalist threw a Mexican wrestling mask at him.

Soon afterwards a man tossed him a red-and-white striped soccer shirt. Questions ranged from queries about the weight he bench presses to how his faith and family have fuelled his success.

To 'football star' add 'diplomat' as the 34-year-old fielded increasingly bizarre questions — many relating to Swift — from a tiny podium with journalists a dozen deep jostling and shouting.

Swift set another record on Sunday, winning the Grammy award for album of the year for an unprecedented fourth time.

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

HOW TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS KELCE BECAME THE FOCUS OF BASELESS POLITICAL CONSPIRACY THEORIES

AP Photo 

 The budding love story featuring music superstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took an unexpected turn into the world of political conspiracy theories this week after the team advanced to the Super Bowl.

Myriad baseless rumors emerged on social media — everything from claims that Swift has played a part in Pentagon psychological operations to the idea that she and her two-time Super Bowl champion boyfriend are key assets in a secret plot to help President Joe Biden get reelected in 2024. Another variant: That the Chiefs’ success was rigged as part of the plan for the game on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas.

Political and media figures on the right, including former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, political activist Laura Loomer and One America News Network host Alison Steinberg, have amplified the allegations.

Jason Kelce had a blast rooting for his brother Travis as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs on Sunday.

After the game, Kelce shared his love for Buffalo's atmosphere on social media. While most of his visits to Buffalo have been as a player, he got to experience Highmark Stadium off the field for the first time on Sunday. Kelce's shirtless experience made for a funny reaction from his daughter, who was watching at home.

NFL CHRISTMAS DAY WAGS JINGLE ALL THE BAE!!!

The NFL is gifting fans with a slate of games this Christmas ... and what better way to celebrate the holiday than by shining the spotlight on some wives and girlfriends of the league's biggest stars!!

Of course, all eyes will be on the lookout for Travis Kelce's lady, Taylor Swift, when the Chiefs host the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium ... and if she shows up, expect her to be screaming expletives from a suite with Brittany Mahomes, Patrick's ride-or-die wife.

Maxx Crosby's wife, Rachel, and Davante Adams' lady, Devanne, will be hoping those new friends go home upset ... as they'll be pulling for their boys from Las Vegas.

Following the AFC West rivalry game, the Giants and Eagles will have a divisional matchup of their own ... and both teams are coming off a loss."

Darren Waller's wife, Kelsey Plum, is all about winning, though -- she just captured her 2nd consecutive WNBA Finals with the Las Vegas Aces in October ... so maybe she can give some victory vibes to her tight end hubby.

Sterling Shepard's girlfriend, Carolyn, will most likely be at the game, too ... as this will be their first Christmas as a couple.

Jason Kelce's wife, Kylie will be singing "Fly Eagles Fly" before singing Christmas carols together later in the night ... after all, the All-Pro center has his own holiday EP with fellow teammates!!

The last game of Christmas Day -- Ravens and 49ers -- is chock full of supportive WAGs ... including Jadeveon Clowney's girlfriend, production makeup artist Nanaj Re ... and safety Kyle Hamilton's high school sweetheart, Reese Damm."

On the other side, George Kittle's ride-or-die, Claire, is always cheering on her man ... and Fred Warner's wife Sydney, who is expecting their first child in March, will be rootin' for Niner Gang as well.

And last but not least, Christian McCaffrey's fiancée, Olivia Culpo, could potentially be present for the contest, too ... which would certainly be a nice present for the running back.

(Football) season's greetings!!"

TAYLOR SWIFT IN ATTENDANCE AT CHIEF'S GAME FOR THE THIRD TIME

Reuters 

Pop megastar Taylor Swift was seen in attendance prior to the start of the Kansas City Chiefs game on Thursday, the third time the 12-time Grammy winner has attended one of the team's games amid rumors of a relationship with tight end Travis Kelce.

Swift was shown on the broadcast entering Arrowhead Stadium wearing a red Chiefs jacket and later seated next to Kelce's mother in a private box ahead of the defending Super Bowl champion's showdown with the Denver Broncos.

Swift's appearance, in addition to fueling further rumors about her romance with the Chiefs' star, is sure to deliver another marketing blessing to the NFL.

Prior to the game, Kelce, a two-time NFL champion who has scored three touchdowns in his last four games, said he was embracing the "chaos" that comes with being the center of attention.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Travis Kelce said his relationship with Taylor Swift hasn't taken away from his football production and that looking forward, he won't allow it to.

"I've always been pretty good about compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building,'' Kelce said after the Kansas City Chiefs finished Friday's practice, their final one in preparation for Sunday's game at the Minnesota Vikings.

"I think it's always been that for me. No matter what's going on in my life, good or bad, I think this is one place I can get away and just being locked in and focused and always check myself and my ego at the door and make sure that I come in with a clear mind.''

Superstar Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's most famous fan, is at MetLife stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs' prime-time matchup against the New York Jets.

Swift made an appearance for the second consecutive game after weeks of a rumored romance between the two.

Last week, the 12-time Grammy Award-winning musician was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium next to Kelce's mother, Donna, before riding off into the sunset with Kelce after the Chiefs' 41-10 win over the Chicago Bears.
