Taylor Swift ha estado presente en los partidos de su novio Travis Kelce para animarlo, pero este no va a devolverle la mano durante su gran noche en los Grammy, aunque por una buena razón.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs va a llegar a Las Vegas el mismo fin de semana de los Grammys, donde él y su equipo estarán bajo un estricto horario estricto antes de enfrentarse a los 49ers para el Super Bowl.

Esto mata cualquier esperanza de los Swifties de que Travis Kelce esté junto Taylor en los Grammys como su acompañante. Estos se dieron cuenta de que su lugar en el Super Bowl significaba que ya no jugaría en el Pro Bowl el mismo día, y por lo tanto, técnicamente estaría libre para aparecer en los Grammys con Tay Tay.

Por desgracia, eso no va a suceder. Nuestras fuentes dicen que no hay ninguna posibilidad de que Travis aparezca en Los Ángeles este fin de semana. Por lo tanto, parece que Taylor tendrá que encontrar compañía en otro lugar o incluso viajar sola para la noche de glamour de este fin de semana, donde ella opta a 6 premios.

Por supuesto, este conflicto en sus agendas no parece ser un problema en el paraíso de estos dos. Recuerden que él acaba de hacerle la gran declaración de amor después de que los Chiefs ganaron su paso al Super Bowl tras una victoria 17-10 sobre los Ravens de Baltimore. Lo que significa, que están muy bien como pareja.

Mientras Taylor ha estado inundando a Travis de caricias y abrazos para apoyarlo durante sus partidos, muchos NFL'ers han estado criticando a la cantante por tomar protagonismo en los juegos, a pesar de que ella no tiene control sobre las cámaras del estadio, algo que ambos han dejado muy claro en diferentes oportunidades.

Por su parte, Travis es totalmente consciente del veneno dirigido a su mujer y le ha dicho a los reporteros que antes de los partidos discuten sobre cómo bloquear el "ruido exterior".

Afortunadamente para él, no tendrá que escuchar nada de esto en la gran noche de la música. Su mente está estrictamente centrada en el fútbol en este momento y su novia es más que capaz de manejar su negocio en el ojo público.

11:15 AM -- Travis expressed his disappointment over not being able to jet to L.A. for the awards show ... saying on "The Pat McAfee Show" he wishes he could go and "watch her win every single award that she's nominated for" -- but his day job simply won't allow it.

Just like we reported, Travis explained he will be traveling to Sin City on Sunday -- the same day of the Grammys -- and while he'll be supporting in spirit, he'll have to be with the team as they focus on bringing a Lombardi Trophy back to Kansas City.

Taylor Swift's been showing up to her boo Travis Kelce's games to cheer him on ... but he won't be returning the favor during her big night at the Grammys -- but for good reason.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Kansas City Chiefs tight end will actually be arriving in Vegas the same weekend as music's biggest night ... where he and the team will be on a strict schedule ahead of squaring up to the 49ers for the Super Bowl.

This kills any hope from Swifties that TK would show up as Taylor's plus-one at the Grammys -- as they all realized his spot in the SB meant he'd no longer play in the Pro Bowl the same day ... and would therefore technically be free to hit up the Grammys with Tay Tay.

Alas, it ain't gonna happen -- our sources say there's no chance Travis shows up in L.A. this weekend. So, it looks like Taylor's gotta find company elsewhere or even ride solo for the glam evening this weekend. ... where she's up for 6 awards.

Of course, the conflict in their schedule doesn't signal any trouble in paradise between the pair ... remember, he just dropped the L-bomb after the Chiefs earned their way to the Super Bowl following a 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. AKA, they're doing just fine.

While TK's been soaking up Taylor's PDA-packed show of support lately, many NFL'ers haven't ... blasting the singer for making the games about her -- even though she has no control over the stadium cameras ... something both he and she have made abundantly clear.

For his part, Travis is totally aware of the venom directed at his woman ... telling off-field reporters days ahead of the AFC Championship Game they frequently discuss blocking out all of the "outside noise."

Fortunately for him, he won't have to hear any of it on a huge showbiz stage -- his mind's strictly focused on football right now ... and his GF's more than capable of handling her business in the spotlight.

David Letterman is telling Taylor Swift's NFL haters to "shut up" about her romance with Travis Kelce -- even though he seems a little confused about who her boyfriend is.

The talk show host offered up a passionate defense of Taylor in a new clip he posted to his social media ... and yes, it's a fierce cosign of all things Taylor, whom he calls a bright light in a world full of darkness.

Also ... DL hilariously confused TK for Kelsey Grammer -- something he continued to mistakenly say, even after being corrected a couple times. Point being ... he loves Taylor!

According to David, Tay doesn't deserve any hate whatsoever ... especially if her stadium-packing credentials are anything to go by -- but to those who couldn't care less about her pop culture icon status and don't want her anywhere near the pitch ... he tells 'em to zip it.

David says T&T's PDA-packed relationship is a lovely, positive, and good thing for both the NFL camp and Taylor's own. He just wants more unity in the world, not division -- and he seems to think Tay-Tay provides that.

ICYMI, Taylor's been coming out to cheer on the KC Chiefs tight end since September ... though she's been heavily criticized for distracting from the sport by fuming diehard fans.

In fact, Tony Dungy even recently compared her to outside noise affecting the game itself in a Fox News interview -- and who can forget Taylor's viral stare-down with Golden Globes host Jo Koy when he mocked her NFL appearances during his opening monologue?

Clearly, the whole thing's a very divisive matter, but David's saying just let them love and live -- adding: "God, bless Taylor Swift and Kelsey Grammar (Travis Kelce)."

Kristin Juszczyk has gone official ... just days after her custom NFL fits went viral -- with some help from Taylor Swift -- the league granted her a licensing deal to use their logos on her designs!

The deal was struck this week, according to Sportico ... allowing Juszczyk -- who is married to 49ers star fullback Kyle Juszczyk -- will be able to legally use the logos of NFL teams for men's and women's clothing.

The financial terms of the agreement aren't known.

Kristin's brand is one of the hottest things going right now ... all since she received the best free marketing ever from Swift, who rocked her puffer coat design (an ode to Travis' #87) to the frigid Chiefs vs. Dolphins game in Kansas City on January 13.

Brittany Mahomes also wore a custom Juszczyk jacket with Patrick Mahomes' jersey number ... as did Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles, who wore a bubble vest representing her husband Jonathan Owens.

Olivia Culpo -- who's engaged to Christian McCaffrey -- also modeled a 49ers bustier by Juszczyk for the Divisional Round game this month.

And, it's not just the WAGs rockin' Juszczyk's custom designs ... "Twilight" actor Taylor Lautner wore a dope Aidan Hutchinson jacket at a Detroit Lions playoff game a few weeks ago.

While Juszczyk's amazing work has just recently grabbed the public's attention, she's been building the business for years, and now the hard work has paid off.

"She’s been grinding for years now and working so hard," Kyle said.

"I'm so happy to see her get her stuff out there, everybody sees it and recognizes it was hers."

Tom Brady has a new team -- the seven-time Super Bowl champ's "TB12" and "Brady Brand" businesses are merging with sportswear company NoBull.

46-year-old Brady announced the big move on Tuesday ... which makes him the second-largest NoBull shareholder behind friend and BodyArmor founder Mike Repole, who joined the company in 2023.

The plan is to make NoBull -- a popular brand in the CrossFit community -- a one-stop shop for all things fitness ... from shoes to clothes and nutrition.

According to reports, the company will keep the NoBull branding, but Brady's name and image will be used in some capacity.

Brady spoke about the news on Instagram ... saying, "I’m proud to announce that today, @tb12sports and @bradybrand are merging with @nobull, forming one complete wellness company that at its core, will help people become the best version of themselves."

"We’re going to push harder than ever to help EVERYONE find the path to success on their own journey," he added. "The goal for us is massive growth that will change the game in training and nutrition for the world. There’s no limit on how many people we can impact and that’s what I’m most excited about."

Brady also gave a shoutout to his staff at TB12 and 'Brady' ... saying their hard-working mentality will roll over into the new venture.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce se van a comprometer, al menos eso es lo que piensa un astrólogo de celebridades, ¡y sabe exactamente cuándo Travis haría la proposición!

Hablamos con el astrólogo de celebridades Kyle Thomas, quien ha aparecido en toneladas de medios en los últimos años, sopesando diferentes destinos de los A-listers sobre la base de los horóscopos, y le preguntamos lo obvio, ¿van a seguir estos dos por el camino del compromiso, y más adelante del matrimonio?

Echa un vistazo a lo que este astrólogo nos dice sobre las posibilidades de que esto ocurra. Dice que puede sentir que Traylor recorrerán todo el camino, pero es probable que no sea tan pronto como la gente piensa.

Ha habido rumores últimamente de que Taylor y Travis se comprometerían lo antes posible, pero Kyle dice que el escenario más realista es que Travis haga la propuesta en 2025, sobre la base de una serie de factores que vamos a dejar que él explique.

Dicho esto, dice que se están plantando todas las semillas para una relación duradera en este momento, y que no se sorprendería si una propuesta llega incluso antes.

Sobre cuándo podrían, potencialmente, casarse, él tiene una respuesta para eso también. Según Kyle, Tay-Tay parece tener algunos logros más en su lista de cosas por hacer antes de casarse. ¡Al menos eso es lo que los cielos le están diciendo!

Y escuchen esto, Kyle incluso tira las cartas del tarot para el futuro de Taylor y Travis, y sobre la base de las vibraciones que está recogiendo, parece que ambos están preparados para una larga y fructífera asociación.

Los planetas se están alineando para Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce en lo que respecta a la astrología. Tenemos la palabra de Kyle, quien es un profesional, e incluso nuestros propios ojos nos dicen que esto podría ocurrir para los dos.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting engaged -- at least that's what one celebrity astrologer thinks ... and he's got TK on his bent knee right down to the month!

We spoke with celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas -- who's been featured on tons of outlets over the years, weighing in on different A-listers' fates based on horoscopes, etc. -- and we asked him the obvious ... are these two gonna go down the road of engagement, and later marriage???

Check out what this star-reader has to say about their chances of going the distance -- he says he can feel Traylor going all the way, but it likely won't be as soon as people think.

There've been rumblings lately about Taylor and Travis getting engaged ASAP ... but KT here says the most realistic scenario is Travis popping the question in 2025 -- based on a number of other-worldly factors that we'll let him explain.

With that said ... he does say that all the seeds for a long-lasting relationship are being planted right now -- and he wouldn't even be surprised if a proposal came sooner.

On the question of when they might, potentially, get hitched ... he's got an answer for that too. According to Kyle -- Tay-Tay seems to have a few more accomplishments on her bucket list that she might be wanna cross off first. At least that's what the heavens are telling him!

And get this ... Kyle even pulls tarot cards for Taylor and Travis' future -- and based on the vibes he's picking up on ... they appear to be set for a long and fruitful partnership.

The planets are lining up for TS and TK as far as astrology is concerned -- just take Kyle's word for it as the pro -- and even our own eyes tell us ... this could be it for both of them.

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.

Justin Tucker just opened up about the tiff he got into with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes before their game on Sunday ... downplaying the incident, while calling it all "kind of silly."

The Chiefs stars had big beef with JT just before the AFC Championship at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, after he placed his helmet and kicking balls near their warm ups. Kelce actually got so heated during the moment, he kicked Tucker's stuff ... before hurling his helmet.

On Monday, the Ravens star was asked about the encounter ... and he said it was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his 12-year career. But, he did seem to say he wasn't taking anything too personal.

"I saw Patrick there trying to warm up and get some drop backs," Tucker said. "He asked me while I was on the ground stretching if I could move my helmet. I happily got up and I moved my helmet out of the way -- at least I thought it was enough out of the way. And then Travis comes over and he just kicks my stuff, and he throws my helmet."

"I just thought it was all just some gamesmanship, all in good fun but they seemed to be taking it a little more seriously."

Tucker added he's now ready to put the whole thing behind them.

Taylor Swift is headed to the Super Bowl in 2 weeks to watch Travis Kelce -- but for everyone thinking she might step into music mode while there ... we have bad news for ya.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... T-Swift is NOT going to be performing in any capacity during SB LVIII -- and that includes during the Halftime Show ... when Usher is scheduled to rock the house as a solo act.

Not only is Taylor not going to pick up a microphone to croon a tune ... but we're hearing there's no chance T-Swift will go anywhere near the stage, let alone step onto it.

In other words, our sources say there are zero plans to have her participate in the Super Bowl whatsoever -- outside of her just being there as a fan -- and Usher is going to have the spotlight all to himself in terms of live entertainment that day.

The reason this even has to be stated, explicitly, in the first place is because ... well, with Tay Tay cashing her ticket to the big game -- along with the Kansas City Chiefs -- her fans were rife with speculation that there might be some type of big musical surprise in store.

Makes sense, frankly ... she's the biggest pop star in the world right now, and her mere presence at the Super Bowl itself is enough to get the rumor mill whipped up, we suppose.

Of course, Taylor doesn't owe any favors to the NFL ... so even though her fan base might've assumed something was in the works, it's a little naïve -- everyone knows Taylor's a businesswoman, and she ain't working for free. More importantly though ... this is Usher's moment.

The other thing to consider is the fact that Taylor will have just arrived from Tokyo when she hits Vegas ... from none other than the last of 4 straight shows back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

So, yes ... Taylor will probably be pretty tired, and all her energy (we imagine) is going to be put toward her cheering on her man. It's gonna be an emotional rollercoaster ... and Taylor won't have the time or the will to put on a show. Plus, again ... her talents ain't free!

If you wanna catch Taylor in concert again in America, you'll have to wait 'til Fall. She won't be doing any "Eras" shows until at least October in the States ... Super Bowl be damned!

Josh Allen didn't appear to have much interest in watching the NFL's championship games on Sunday ... instead, he opted for a day date with Hailee Steinfeld.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback -- who was just eliminated from the postseason on Jan. 21 -- was spotted enjoying some quality time with his girlfriend in Orange County, Calif. as the Chiefs, Ravens, 49ers and Lions battled for a spot in the Super Bowl.

Allen was seen gassing up Hailee's Range Rover ... before the two met up with some pals in Dana Point.

It's unclear if Allen was able to catch the big games while out ... but either way, it seems his focus was on getting some R&R with Steinfeld.

The two have been dating since last spring ... although they've largely kept their romance private. In fact, Steinfeld was hardly ever spotted at his games -- but eagle-eyed fans did at least notice her out at Bills vs. Chargers game last month.

Of course, it'll be a while before she's able to see her man on the field again ... with the Bills' 2023 season over, he won't be suiting up for another seven or so months.

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.

Eminem had a helluva day in Santa Clara on Sunday cheering on his beloved Lions ... getting into squabbles with 49ers fans -- before sweating out a heartbreaking loss.

The rap legend had suite seats for the NFC Championship Game at Levi's Stadium ... and the day was filled with a roller coaster full of emotions for the Detroit native.

Throughout the afternoon, he was seen chirpin' at San Francisco faithful in his Lions T-shirt -- even flipping off a man who was decked out in a Brock Purdy jersey.

Later in the evening, after Detroit went up on the Niners, 21-7, he was spotted going crazy in his luxury box.

However, when the Lions began to blow their lead, Em could be seen looking super stressed.

Ultimately, Detroit fell, 34-31 ... but Marshall wasn't too sour about it all, he took to X to thank his favorite team for the great year, before promising they'd make a return trip to the NFCCG.

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.

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

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.

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.
