Dating

Taylor Swift got a special shoutout from her boo on Wednesday ... with Travis Kelce giving a playful "thank you" to the pop superstar for jumping on the Chiefs bandwagon just in time for their Super Bowl run.

The "Cruel Summer" crooner has been Kelce's biggest supporter since they first started dating last year ... making numerous appearances at home and away matchups, including every game during the Chiefs' current playoff run.

The love hasn't gone unnoticed in the Kelce fam ... with Jason Kelce jokingly congratulating Swift on reaching the biggest sporting event of the year so early in her fandom.

"Shout out to the newest members of the Chiefs Kingdom," Jason said on the 'New Heights' podcast. "Taylor Swift who has officially reached the Super Bowl in her rookie year."

Travis played along ... adding, "Shout out to Tay! Thanks for joining the team!"

Of course, the Swifties have followed in her footsteps ... tuning in to every Chiefs game to get a glimpse of "mother" catching games from her usual suite seats.

The Traylor craze has left a huge impact on Kelce's jersey sales and TV ratings ... further solidifying the defending Super Bowl champs as the must-see game every week.

Worth noting -- Swift used to show love for her Philadelphia Eagles ... something Travis mentioned when addressing the musician's interaction with his head coach Andy Reid after Sunday's AFC Championship Game.

10:15 AM PT -- A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ that Avril Lavigne doesn't have a new love interest here in Nate Smith -- instead, they're just good pals ... skate buddies, it seems.

In terms of why they were even together in the first place ... we're told it was to just discuss future music projects, and nothing more.

Avril Lavigne is getting back to her roots -- and by that, we mean she's hopping on a board and hanging out with skater boys again ... like this fella, who seems to have caught her eye.

The punk rock singer enjoyed a date night Monday with TikTok country star Nate Smith ... with the both of them hitting dinner together at Catch in WeHo -- and then hitting the streets right after for a little truck ride around L.A., where they boozing in the back.

Their post-meal palling around is definitely the opposite vibe of their fancy meal ... which is one of the nicer restaurants in L.A. If anything, this is the sorta thing you do in a small town -- along some backroads and whatnot -- and yet ... here's AL letting it all hang out!

At one point in their drive, they stopped at a gas station ... where she and Nate hopped out with skateboards in hand, which they mounted and tried riding. Emphasis on "tried." 😅

Take a look for yourself ... they both seem to struggle a bit, but did end up rolling around for a little bit -- and in the end, it looks like Avril might've been the one who had a tad bit more skating experience. Go figure, right?

Props to Nate, though ... he definitely puts his best foot forward, no he's just gotta kick and push. Like we said -- this is like a scene straight out of Avril's 2002 song/music video.

Also, from the looks of it ... she's pretty into NS here -- signaling that she's officially over Tyga and ready to explore new pastures in the dating scene. BTW, in case you didn't know ... Avril's had a lot of famous exes over the years -- with big names you'd certainly recognize.

Just to name a few ... Brody Jenner, Mod Sun, Pete Jonas, Deryck Whibley, Wilmer Valderrama, Chad Kroeger, Jesse Colburn, Brandon Davis, Phillip Sarofim and a couple others.

At the moment, Nate's got her attention ... and he's already leaving a good impression. The dude definitely knows how to hang -- he just might need to work on his board skills a bit.

Avril Lavigne está volviendo a sus raíces y con eso queremos decir que está sacando su tabla y patinando en skate de nuevo, con un chico que parece haber llamado su atención.

La cantante de punk rock tuvo una cita el lunes con la estrella de TikTok Nate Smith. Los dos fueron a cenar juntos a Catch en West Hollywood y luego dieron un paseo por las calles de Los Ángeles, muy contentos en la parte trasera de una camioneta.

Su paseo fue definitivamente lo opuesto al ambiente de lujo que tuvieron durante la comida, en uno de los restaurantes más bonitos de Los Ángeles. En todo caso, este es el tipo de cosas que se hacen en una pequeña ciudad, y, sin embargo, aquí está AL dándolo todo.

En un momento de su viaje, pararon en una gasolinera, donde se bajaron con monopatines en la mano, que montaron e intentaron montar. Énfasis en que "intentaron". 😅

Echa un vistazo tú mismo, ambos parecen luchar un poco, pero finalmente terminaron andando algo. Parece que Avril tenía un poco más de experiencia patinando, ¿no?

Un aplauso para Nate, sin embargo. Definitivamente hizo su mejor esfuerzo. Como hemos dicho, parece una escena sacada de la canción/video musical de Avril de 2002.

Además, por lo que se ve, ella está bastante interesada en Nate Smith, lo que indica que oficialmente superó a Tyga y podría estar lista para explorar nuevos territorios en la arena de las citas. Por cierto, y por si no lo sabías, Avril ha tenido un montón de ex famosos a lo largo de los años, con grandes nombres que sin duda reconoces.

Solo por nombrar algunos: Brody Jenner, Mod Sun, Pete Jonas, Deryck Whibley, Wilmer Valderrama, Chad Kroeger, Jesse Colburn, Brandon Davis, Phillip Sarofim y un par más.

Put all the speculation to rest -- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in love and they don't care who knows ... 'cause new audio proves the Kansas City Chiefs superstar shared his deep feelings for the singer right after the AFC Championship Game.

There was speculation about what exactly was said between the two after the Chiefs punched their tickets to the Super Bowl with a 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday ... with many believing they dropped L-bombs, but the sound quality couldn't definitively confirm the exchange.

The "Inside the NFL" cameras came through in the clutch for all Tayvis fans just minutes ago ... releasing a clip where hot mics picked up the majority of their convo.

Kelce is heard calling for his lady amid the postgame chaos ... saying, "Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys, I love you," before leaning in for a kiss.

Swift replied by telling him how proud she is ... and there very well may have been an "I love you, too," but we can't say for sure.

Of course, there are several angles Swifties have been trying to dissect ever since the game ended ... with another vid also appearing to show Taylor saying "I love you" during an earlier interaction on the field.

The internet detectives did the same thing to Tayvis' New Year's Eve celebration ... so now, after weeks of speculation, Swifties can finally get some rest before launching their Super Bowl prep.

Drew Barrymore puede ser una estrella, pero no es inmune a los horrores de las aplicaciones de citas, incluyendo ser engañada por personas que afirman y pretenden ser alguien más.

En el episodio del viernes de "The Drew Barrymore Show", la actriz dijo que estaba encantada cuando recientemente se emparejó con un hombre que decía ser un jugador de los Rams de Los Ángeles. Ella le dijo que estaba emocionada de decirle que fue al Coliseo para ver su primer partido en Los Ángeles.

Desafortunadamente, todo se desvaneció cuando se percató de que la persona no era un jugador profesional ni mucho menos.

Drew le dijo a su co-presentador -Ross Mathews- que rápidamente se enteró de la cruda realidad. Ella dice que era un músico que pensó que estaba siendo un conquistador al cambiar su identidad.

Drew dice que se sentía estúpida por haber caído en la trampa.

Ross añade que estaba decepcionado, porque cuando ella comenzó a contar la historia se la imaginaba como la nueva Taylor Swift en los juegos, animando a su novio. Por desgracia, no estaba destinado a ser de esa manera.

Drew ha estado públicamente soltera tras su separación de su ex -Will Kopelman- en 2016, así que está viviendo el juego de la soltería.

Drew Barrymore might be an A-lister, but she isn't immune to the horrors of dating apps ... including getting tricked by people claiming/pretending to be someone else.

On Friday's episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show", the actress said she was thrilled when she recently matched with a man claiming to be the QB from the L.A. Rams -- not cause she wanted to flex on landing an athlete, she claims ... but cause she was excited to tell him she went to the Coliseum to see their first L.A. game.

Unfortunately, her fangirling was short-lived ... 'cause she wasn't talking to a Rams player.

Drew told her cohost Ross Mathews when she reached out to this guy with her football ramblings, she quickly learned the cold hard truth -- he was nowhere near to being a celebrated NFL'er. Instead ... she says he was a random musician who thought he was being cute about lying about his identity.

Drew says she felt stupid and dumb over being misled ... not to mean so easily fooled.

Ross adds she should absolutely feel a way about being lied to  -- saying he was disappointed cause when she started telling the story, he envisioned her being the new Taylor Swift at the games, cheering on her man. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Drew's been publicly single following her split from her ex Will Kopelman in 2016 ... but if her efforts crawling her way back into the dating pool are this grim ... there's clearly no hope for other singletons.

Taylor Swift said the "L" word to Travis Kelce after his big win Sunday -- or at least that's what fans *think* she's saying in this video ... which is getting picked apart and dissected.

The couple shared an on-field hug/kiss after the game against the Ravens -- where TK had a ton of people around him, batting him on the big and celebrating his team's victory ... but it wasn't until Taylor herself showed up to embrace her man that folks really paid attention.

For good reason, too, of course ... 'cause as they were talking to each other and whispering sweet-nothings into one another's ear -- people started to do some deep-dive lip-reading.

Watch the video yourself and you'll see what's got everyone down a rabbit hole right now. After they chit-chat for a quick sec -- which you can hear -- they go in for a smooch, and as Taylor pulls away and goes back in for another hug, she appears to mouth "I love you."

That's certainly what it looks like to a lot of people, anyway ... eye of the beholder, though.

This probably wouldn't be the first time Taylor's said this to Travis -- there's been speculation dating back to New Year's Eve that he said it to her as well -- but it is further evidence that these two are very serious ... and knee-deep into their relationship by now.

Anyway, Taylor and Travis are clearly tied at the hip these days -- especially in a football capacity -- and you gotta figure she'll be there front and center for the Super Bowl as well.

She's got an 'Eras' tour show in Tokyo the night before -- but considering she's got a private jet and more than enough time to fly back to the States ... there's almost no question she'll make it. People have already done the math, and the window to return is quite large.

It's the fairy tale that keeps on giving ... and the next stop is pretty much the finish line.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Taylor Swift le dijo la palabra con "L" a Travis Kelce después de su gran victoria el domingo, o al menos eso es lo que los fans piensan que dijo en este video.

La pareja compartió un abrazo y un beso en el campo después del partido contra los Ravens, donde Travis tuvo a un montón de gente a su alrededor celebrando la victoria de su equipo, pero no fue hasta que la propia Taylor apareció para abrazar a su hombre que la gente realmente prestó atención.

Se les pudo ver conversando y diciéndose cosas al oído, la gente comenzó a hacer algunas especulaciones de lectura de labios.

Mira el video y verás por qué todo el mundo está hablando de esto. Después de charlar durante un momento se besan y cuando Taylor se aleja y vuelve a otro abrazo, ella parece decirle "Te amo".

Hay mucha gente convencida de esto.

Probablemente, no es la primera vez que Taylor le dice esto a Travis, ha habido especulaciones que se remontan a la víspera de Año Nuevo, pero es una prueba más de que estos dos van en serio y que ya no pueden más del amor.

De todos modos, Taylor y Travis están claramente muy unidos estos días, especialmente en lo que respecta al fútbol, y tienes que imaginar que ella estará allí para presenciar el Super Bowl.

Ella tiene un show de la gira "Eras" en Tokio la noche anterior, pero teniendo en cuenta que tiene un jet privado y más que suficiente tiempo para volar de regreso a los Estados, no hay casi ninguna duda de que lo hará. La gente ya ha hecho los cálculos, y la ventana para volver es bastante grande.

Love is in the air for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce -- and now their fans can be too ... 'cause airlines are cashing in on the celeb romance for the Super Bowl!

Ahead of the big game two Sundays from now, American Airlines has announced direct flights between Kansas City, Missouri, and Sin City with the number "1989" -- which Swifties will immediately recognize as the 2014/2023 re-recorded album of hers.

Following the game, flight AA 87 will be your ticket home to TK's hometown, an obvious nod to his jersey number. Yes, AA went all out with this gimmick-y flight path ... creative, indeed.

They're not the only airline hopping on the T-Swift bandwagon, BTW ... United's doing it too.

UA has added similar flight numbers as well -- including UA 2287 referring to Tay Tay's song "22" and Travis' jersey number. Plus another flight UA 1587 merges Kelce and fellow Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes' jersey numbers. The airline's schedule also includes special flights from San Francisco to Vegas.

Tickets are now available from the airlines' website and their apps -- and you better believe these airlines are banking on people hopping aboard. On its face, this seems to be one mile high club everyone will be scrambling to be a part of!

It's only fitting that these companies are trying to capitalize on the whole frenzy that's blown up among the football couple's super fandom, which kickstarted back in September when Taylor first came out to cheer on Travis, sitting alongside his mamma, Donna Kelce at the time.

Months later, it feels like the gridiron is now a second home for her -- and she's truly become a big NFL consumer/advocate through her romance. In fact, she was seen hugging TK to celebrate the Chiefs bagging a coveted spot at Super Bowl LVIII after they defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 Sunday ... and he appeared to say the "L" word. We think.

Of course, if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, there's no way he can't say those three coveted words to his lucky charm: Taylor. Fasten your seatbelts ... the declaration of love may soon be coming!!

Anyway, go ahead and book those plane tickets if you're inclined -- AA and UA are ready to take your cash and send you on your way.

El romance entre Selena Gomez y Benny Blanco va viento en popa. Al menos eso podemos deducir luego de verlos en Disney este fin de semana... aunque pudimos notar un pequeño problema de altura.

La pareja fue a Disney el sábado, donde fueron filmados por los espectadores que los vieron entrar en la atracción de "Toy Story" y se veían muy cómodos antes de subirse, agarrándose fuertemente el uno al otro.

Estaban tratando de pasar desapercibidos con sombreros y sudaderas con capucha, pero era obvio que eran ellos, y fue especialmente notable cuando se metieron en su carro y se quitaron el casco, revelando sus rostros.

Benny fue muy caballeroso guiando a Selena hasta el carro y dejándola subir primero. Ciertamente muy romántico, aunque es inevitable notar que ella es claramente más alta que él.

No es para hacer tanto escándalo tampoco, hay muchas parejas famosas con diferencia de altura entre el chico y la chica, basta con mirar a Tom Holland y Zendaya, o el recientemente divorciado Joe Jonas con Sophie Turner.

Selena mide 5'5...y él se ve notablemente más bajo que ella en este clip. Podemos calcular que debe medir unos 5'3 o así, sin embargo, ella está locamente enamorada de él.

Vamos a decir esto, Benny se sale del molde de los chicos con los que Selena ha salido históricamente -en múltiples frentes, es cierto- pero parece que ha capturado su corazón y algo más.

Taylor Swift and Tony Romo were gassin' each other up when they crossed paths at the AFC Championship Game ... with both sides showering each other with compliments -- and the cute interaction was caught on video.

Swift made her way to the field to celebrate her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, following the Kansas City Chiefs' 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday ... and as the players accepted the Lamar Hunt Trophy, the pop superstar made her way over to the former quarterback-turned-CBS commentator to give him his flowers.

Reporters on the scene claim Swift initiated the praise-off ... telling Romo he does a good job, to which he appeared to reply that she's "even better."

In a clip of the exchange, it appears Swift downplayed the comparison ... saying, "We’re doing very different things, aren’t we? It’s a different skill set" before the two shared a fist bump.

The two also shared a hug as Travis did his thing on the stage ... and Taylor was over the moon as Chiefs Kingdom soaked in the dub.

The meetup is quite interesting ... considering Romo has notoriously referred to Swift as Kelce's "wife" on numerous occasions throughout the season.

Safe to say the "Lover" crooner ain't sweating the flub ... but here's hoping he gets it right when the Super Bowl comes around in a few weeks.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's romance is going strong -- evidenced in their Disney date this weekend ... but what was also clear was the fact she's got a short king here.

The couple hit Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, CA Saturday -- where they were filmed by onlookers who spotted them getting onto the 'Toy Story' ride, and looking pretty damn cozy before hopping on ... holding on to each other tightly in line.

They were trying to lay low in hats and hoodies, but it was obviously them -- especially noticeable when they got into their car and removed their headgear... revealing their faces.

BB was very gentlemanly-like guiding SG into the cart and letting her get on first. He certainly seems like a sweetheart -- but he's not towering over his girlfriend by any means ... if anything, it's exactly the opposite. As you can see, Selena's clearly taller than him.

It's no harm, no foul of course ... there are plenty of A-listers with this sort of height differential between the guy and gal -- just look at Tom Holland/Zendaya, or the recently divorced Joe Jonas/Sophie Turner -- but in this case ... it seems Benny's quite short.

Selena has her height listed as 5'5" ... and if he's noticeably shorter than her in this clip -- ya gotta figure homeboy's like 5'3" or so. And yet, she's head over heels for the fella!

We'll say this ... Benny bucks the mold of dudes Selena has historically dated -- on multiple fronts, admittedly -- but he seems to have captured her heart and then some.

Taylor Swift had Travis Kelce on her mind and on her wrist, neck and finger on Sunday ... supporting her man in Baltimore not only from a box suite, but with Chiefs-themed jewelry all over her body!!

The pop star was seen decked out with three separate pieces to pay homage to her boyfriend as he and the Chiefs took on the Ravens in the AFC Championship at M&T Bank Stadium.

On her finger, she had a ring shaped like Kelce's No. 87 Kansas City jersey ... and around her neck, she sported a pendant with the Chiefs' logo.

She also rocked a diamond bracelet that featured the letters "TNT" -- which Swifties have widely assumed stands for "Taylor and Travis."

It seems it all ended up being good luck charms for the "Bad Blood" crooner and her man ... as Kelce and the Chiefs were able to upset the Ravens, 17-10.

Afterward, she shared a sweet embrace with Kelce on the field while proudly displaying all of the jewelry ... and she appeared to even drop an L-bomb on him as he celebrated the fourth AFC Championship of his career.

Sharon Stone's looking for love online, and she's finding out a lesson lots of millennials already know ... many people don't live up to their profile hype.

The superstar actress opened up about her online dating trials and tribulations in an interview with The Times Friday ... with Stone saying she's hoping 2024 will be her year to find true love.

So far though ... SS says it's leading to dates with lots of real sketchy dudes instead -- a fact not totally surprising to anyone who's used the apps over the years.

Stone's dates sound a heck of a lot worse than your average "guy lied about his height or job" catfishing ... Sharon actually seems to be attracted to some real stinkers.

For example, Sharon pulled one dude who she later found out was a convicted felon -- and another who she said was "clearly 20,000 heroin injections later than the picture he sent me" ... definitely not hubby material.

And, as for her good matches ... they happened during the pandemic, and Sharon said she never actually met the dudes IRL. Basically, Stone says she mainly acted as a "therapist" of sorts to a recent divorcee and another man who'd been through a breakup after his GF had an abortion -- conversations SS called "rewarding."

One big challenge ... the 65-year-old says she's not on dating apps like Bumble to hook up -- adding she thinks men will basically get it on with anything, like a "warm can of beans," so she doesn't really need to try for sex.

Instead, she's looking for a partner -- Sharon says she doesn't have a set list of criteria, but basically, she'll know it when she feels it. She's not rushing into love -- she's been married twice and has three kids to think of as well -- so she says she's gonna take her time with it.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are clearly well aware they have plenty of detractors ... but the Chiefs star admitted he and his boo talk about how important it is for their relationship to block out all of the "outside noise."

Kelce made the revelation while chatting with reporters about his off-field life on Friday -- just two days before Kansas City takes on Baltimore in the AFC Championship Game.

After one media member asked if he and Taylor had discussed the growing criticism they've received as they've gone more and more public with their love ... he said matter-of-factly, "The only thing we've talked about is as long as we're happy, we can't listen to anything that's outside noise."

"That's all that matters."

Kelce also said at the press conference there have been newfound challenges and critiques he's had to deal with this year as his star power has risen exponentially ... although he said he's been able to compartmentalize it all for the most part, allowing his teammates to believe in him.

Blueface still has a little ways to go for his current jail sentence, but there's a good chance Chrisean Rock will be waiting at home for him when he comes back!!!

On Friday, Chrisean burst onto IG with a newfound faith in the father of her baby boy -- she updated her profile pic with one of the "Thotiana" rapper's mugshots but more shockingly, announced she was moving back into one of his houses!!!

Fans were confused and displeased ... the last time these 2 were spotted publicly, they both had conflicting stories but left every indication they had a fight, and a very bloody one at that!!!

She also posted a pair of new pics with their kid, but went out of her way to show support for Blue by making sure her "Jonathan" signature face tat was visible.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Blueface is slated to be behind bars through Summer '24 but his manager, Wack 100, is pushing for an earlier release.
