Kansas City Chiefs

Taylor Swift is joining the max exodus in Las Vegas ... flying out of the desert after her boyfriend Travis Kelce's big Super Bowl win.

The singer hopped on her private jet Monday for a short flight to Los Angeles ... and she was joined by good friend Blake Lively. We're hearing there might've been other stars in the mix as well -- but hard to make anyone out specifically ... including TayTay.

Taylor's team was definitely trying to shield her from the cameras behind a wall of black umbrellas as she climbed the stairs onto the plane ... we gotta say, blocking like this would make Jason Kelce proud!

Blake herself boarded the plane in a red outfit without too much fuss ... and one passenger had on a Kansas City Chiefs jacket. Just like how she arrived from Tokyo -- it was a straight cover-up attempt ... and considering everything that's been going on with her lately, we get it.

Anyhoo ... it's been a whirlwind 24 hours for her. Taylor, Travis and co. partied deep into the night after the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in double overtime in Super Bowl LVIII for Travis' second straight championship ... and it looks like she's had her fill of Sin City.

After a short flight, Taylor and co. touched down at LAX ... where they hopped into a fleet of waiting SUVs and took off yet again. She's been getting dragged here and there a lot these past few days ... and Monday proved no different.

Taylor's travel ain't stopping here, BTW ... she's gotta be in Australia later this week for another string of 'Eras' tour shows -- so she'll be back on a plane in no time.

Patrick Mahomes might not have gotten a wink of sleep last night, but that didn't stop the 3x Super Bowl champ from linking up with Mickey and Co. at the Happiest Place On Earth!

Just hours after the post-game festivities wrapped, Mahomes hopped aboard a jet and flew to Disneyland on Monday -- a tradition for the big game's MVP.

While the Kansas City Chiefs superstar once again led his team to a game-winning drive in overtime vs. the Niners, the more impressive feat may be the NFL superstar actually making it to the parade following a night of partying.

Wifey, Brittany, was there, too ... though the newly minted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model didn't hitch a ride on the float.

As we previously reported, the after-party was insane ... Patrick and his bestie Travis Kelce had an all-time rage fest with Taylor Swift, The Chainsmokers, and Post Malone at Zouk at Resorts World before finishing the night at XS.

In fact, Mahomes was seen chugging Coors Lights at the party ... here's hoping he also sprinkled in a few bottles of aqua.

Parece que la mayoría de los aficionados en el Super Bowl LVIII estaban mostrando un buen comportamiento el domingo, porque TMZ Sports ha comprobado que solo seis personas fueron detenidas en el gran juego en la Ciudad del Pecado.

La policía nos dice que un fan fue arrojado tras las rejas por hurto mayor. Otro fue fichado por agresión a un oficial. Otros dos, dice la policía, fueron detenidos por obstrucción.

Por supuesto, los dos últimos arrestados fueron el dúo de hombres que se despojaron de sus camisetas y corrieron al campo durante una jugada en el tercer cuarto.

Ambos chicos fueron puestos bajo custodia por cargos de actos prohibidos durante un evento deportivo antes de ser liberados.

También hubo varias emergencias médicas durante el juego, policías nos dicen que recibieron 56 llamadas relacionadas con sustos de salud, añadiendo que nueve personas en total tuvieron que ser transportadas al hospital para su posterior evaluación.

Seems most fans at Super Bowl LVIII were on their best behavior Sunday ... because TMZ Sports has learned only six people were arrested at the big game in Sin City.

Cops tell us ... one fan at Allegiant Stadium during the Chiefs vs. Niners tilt was thrown behind bars for grand larceny. Another was booked for battery on an officer. Two others, police say, were arrested for obstruction.

Of course, the final two arrestees were the duo of men who stripped off their shirts and ran onto the field during a play in the third quarter.

Both guys, we're told, were put into custody on charges of prohibited acts during a sporting event -- before they were released.

There were also several medical emergencies during the game ... cops tell us they received 56 calls regarding health scares -- adding that nine total people needed to be transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

Usher had a ton of people "caught up" during his Super Bowl LVIII halftime show ... including Ne-Yo -- who tells TMZ Sports the R&B legend's performance was top five of all time!

Ne-Yo made the claim following the Big Game out in Las Vegas ... after Usher wowed the Allegiant Stadium crowd with his singing, dancing and skating skills.

"I liked it!" Ne-Yo told us. "I liked it a lot!"

The "Miss Independent" crooner wasn't the only one who loved what Usher did while singing alongside Alicia Keys, Ludacris and Lil Jon ... Janelle Monae also said she was a big fan of the spectacle.

In fact, she said the act should put Usher squarely in the discussion when it comes time to talk about music's GOATs.

"So proud of him," the 38-year-old singer said. "I love you, Usher!"

Of course, there were some haters ... including boxing star Gervonta Davis, who wasn't pleased with the way Usher caressed Keys during their rendition of "My Boo."

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

The Kansas City Chiefs took home the win at this year's Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers, and all eyes were on Taylor Swift as she planted a big kiss on boyfriend Travis Kelce during the on-field celebration!

The power couple kept things going at the post-game after party, where Travis serenaded Taylor by singing her song, "You Belong With Me", to her. 🥹

Former President Donald Trump posted on social media saying he's to thank for Taylor Swift making more money off her music. President Joe Biden also posted to social media, trolling MAGA supporters poking fun at conspiracy theories.

Usher brought out various special guests for his exciting halftime show performance, including Alicia Keys, Lil Jon, Ludacris and more!

Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr. reunited in Las Vegas over Super Bowl weekend amid dating rumors. 👀

Kanye West blew $7 million on a Super Bowl ad spot, but $0 on production for the commercial, filming himself with his phone advertising a Yeezy sale.

Plus, Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan sparked breakup rumors after they unfollowed each other on Instagram and removed all photos.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs partied their faces off to celebrate their massive Super Bowl victory ... enlisting A-list celebs like The Chainsmokers and Post Malone to get the job done!!

The back-to-back champs hit up Zouk nightclub at Resorts World with the Lombardi Trophy in tow to kick off the wild night of drunken debauchery ... and judging by the videos of the festivities, the vibes were at an all-time high.

The three-time Super Bowl MVP and his bestie were front and center throughout the night ... even getting behind the DJ booth with Alex Pall and Drew Taggart.

Mahomes' wife, Brittany, got Posty to briefly join Chiefs Kingdom ... having him remove his Dallas Cowboys 'fit for a Kansas City jacket in front of the whole crowd!!

Fittingly enough, Mahomes was met with "MVP" chants ... and he acknowledged the love by sipping a Coors Light.

Kelce proved to be the life of the party ... dancing his ass off as the music blared through the speakers.

Taylor Swift had to have been happy with the setlist ... as "Swag Surfin'" by Fast Life Yungstaz made the cut. Travis' older bro, Jason, also had a helluva time, rocking a luchador mask as he downed a drink.

The victors were already raging by the time they showed up to the venue ... as they started popping bottles right in the locker room after the 25-22 overtime thriller over the San Francisco 49ers.

But, the good times didn't stop after Zouk -- we're told the whole crew kept things going at XS nightclub afterward ... with Taylor staying there 'til 5:15 AM.

They're officially a dynasty ... the Kansas City Chiefs just won Super Bowl LVIII in THRILLING fashion, thanks to a Patrick Mahomes game-winning drive in overtime!

60 minutes wasn't enough to decide the NFL season ... and with the Chiefs down 3 after the Niners kicked a field goal in the opening possession of OT, the legendary K.C. QB got the ball, and drove down the field, culminating in a Mecole Hardman touchdown pass.

25-22 Chiefs, game over, Super Bowl over, immortal status achieved for Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid ... who now both have 3 rings apiece, putting them in rarified air.

Mahomes is also a 3x Super Bowl MVP.

It also marks the first time a team has repeated since Tom Brady's New England Patriots did it in 2004 and 2005.

Mahomes threw for 333 yards with 2 touchdowns and an interception ... and was perfect when he needed to be on the last drive of the game -- when his Chiefs needed a field goal to extend the game, or a TD to win.

Travis Kelce had a big second half ... after a slow start to the game, catching 9 balls for 93 yards, including a huge run and catch in overtime.

During the Lombardi Trophy presentation, Kelce said the team wanted 3 straight Super Bowl wins ... so, it's clear they're not done yet.

As the superstar tight end spoke, Taylor Swift and mom Donna Kelce watched in front of the podium ... before Travis came over and shared a lengthy hug and kiss with his GF.

As for the 49ers, they put up a helluva fight ... and Brock Purdy -- who threw for 255 yards and a touchdown -- made some nice plays, especially during his team's lone OT possession.

Unfortunately for San Francisco, Mahomes and the Chiefs were ultimately too much.

Travis Kelce was FUMING on the sideline after the Chiefs fumbled the ball in the red zone, bumping Andy Reid and screaming in his face ... nearly knocking the coach on his ass!

The incident went down during the 2nd quarter of the Super Bowl after K.C. star RB Isiah Pacheco turned the ball over deep in Niners territory ... a play Kelce watched from the sideline.

The NFL superstar was none too pleased -- and expressed his frustration, yelling inches away from his coach's face -- as girlfriend Taylor Swift watched from her suite.

Trav also slammed his helmet.

Of course, Kelce and Reid go way back to 2013, when both men joined the organization. Both guys are future Hall of Famers.

It's not the first time Kelce has lost it on the sideline. Remember back to the Christmas Day game vs. the Raiders when Travis blew his top on the sideline.

Through a quarter and a half, the game has been incredibly tense ... with star players on both teams making mistakes.

The 49ers, however, lead 10-0 ... after Christian McCaffrey scored a touchdown late in the 1st half.

Kelce has been relatively quiet (besides all the screaming), catching just one ball for one yard. We'll see if the sideline incident gets him going.

2:26 PM PT -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell just had a one-on-one chat with Taylor ... hopefully he remembered to thank her for all the new fans she's brought to the sport!!!

1:39 PM PT -- Taylor's giving out hugs left and right ... with Travis' brother Jason Kelce wrapping her up in a short embrace before introducing himself to Ice Spice with a courteous handshake. Ever the gentleman, Jason!

1:30 PM PT -- Taylor Swift is in the building!!! CBS' broadcast just showed the pop star pulling up to Allegiant Stadium along with several close/famous friends including Ice Spice who appears to be hugging Swift's mom Andrea and Blake Lively who'se decked in a bright red jacket.

Taylor Swift is on the move -- she just took off in a private jet headed to Las Vegas ... and just in time too, 'cause the Super Bowl is low-key about to start pretty damn soon!

The pop star boarded her aircraft late Sunday morning -- flying out of L.A. and heading to Sin City to see her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium. Everyone assumed she'd be there, and she's on her way now.

Tay Tay was once again being covered by umbrellas (just like yesterday) as she got on her PJ -- and from the looks of it ... she and the peeps she's rolling with are rocking Chiefs gear.

She oughta be landing pretty soon here ... and from the looks of it, her motorcade is already waiting for her in Vegas. She's got a brigade of SUVs all set -- as if she was POTUS! We suppose we wouldn't expect anything less for T-Swift, she kinda is American royalty.

Anyway, it looks like our theory of her crashing in L.A. for the night after a long flight from Tokyo ended up being correct. Rather than just go straight there, she laid low for a night.

It was a whirlwind trip for her, no doubt, and she's probably running on fumes right now.

And yet ... she's being a total trooper and making the trek to Vegas to see Travis, where she'll get a chance to cheer her head off on the biggest stage in American sports. And yes, as we reported -- she'll be in a private suite with her fam and Travis' brood too, no question.

Folks have been glued to their screens to see when Taylor will be landing in Vegas -- and now, it looks like she's pretty much at the finish line. The flight from L.A. is like 45 minutes.

Her being at the Super Bowl is this fairytale story coming full circle ... her NFL journey has been one for the ages -- and it's either gonna end in pure bliss with a W, or something else.

At any rate ... we're all stoked to see how it plays out, and we're sure TK's happy too.

The game is right around the corner -- kicking off at 3:30 PM PT -- and Taylor is about to take Vegas by storm. We're sure it'll be a circus ... but nothing she can't handle. And per usual ... she's sort of arriving at the 11th hour -- but she'll be right on time regardless.

Here we go!!!

Reba McEntire's rendition of the national anthem left a lotta fans feeling emotional ... and one Chiefs defender just couldn't hold back the tears.

The singer-songwriter finished up the opening ceremony just moments ago, belting out the song before the Super Bowl kicked off on Sunday.

During the performance, CBS' broadcast jumped from player to player with many keeping their heads down and staying focused ... though Chris Jones, the Chiefs' two-time All-Pro defensive lineman was clearly carried away by the moment.

Check out the vid -- Chris, number 95 with K.C., has tears streaking his face while Reba made her way through the song ... which took 95 seconds BTW, greater than the 90.5-second over/under mark for all you sports bettors out there.

He's not the only person who was moved by the performance. Lots of fans have taken to X to tweet out their impressions of RM's singin' ... and opinions are overwhelmingly positive.

Reba is one of many celebrities both performing at and just attending the biggest game of the NFL season ... with others like Post Malone, Usher, Paul Rudd, Leonardo DiCaprio and a heck of a lot more in attendance.

2:26 PM PT -- El comisionado de la NFL Roger Goodell acaba de tener una charla a solas con Taylor... ¡Esperemos que se haya acordado de agradecerle todos los nuevos fans que ha traído al deporte!

1:39 PM PT -- Taylor está repartiendo abrazos a diestra y siniestra, con el hermano de Travis -Jason Kelce- envolviéndola en un corto abrazo antes de presentarla a Ice Spice con un cortés apretón de manos. ¡Todo un caballero!

1:30 PM PT -- ¡Taylor Swift está aquí! La emisión de la CBS acaba de mostrar a la estrella del pop llegando al Estadio Allegiant junto con varios amigos cercanos y famosos, incluyendo a Ice Spice, que parece estar abrazando a la madre de Swift, Andrea, y a Blake Lively, que está vestida con una chaqueta de color rojo brillante.

Taylor Swift acaba de despegar en un jet privado con destino a Las Vegas, y justo a tiempo, ¡porque el Super Bowl está a punto de comenzar!

La estrella del pop subió a su avión el domingo por la mañana, volando fuera de Los Ángeles y en dirección a la Ciudad del Pecado para ver a su novio -Travis Kelce- y los Chiefs enfrentarse a los San Francisco 49ers en el Estadio Allegiant. Todo el mundo asumió que ella estaría allí, y no se equivocaron.

TayTay fue una vez más cubierta por los paraguas (al igual que ayer) mientras subía a su vehículo, y se le podía ver con ropa de los Chiefs.

Debería aterrizar muy pronto, y por lo que parece, su caravana ya la está esperando en Las Vegas. Tiene una brigada de todoterrenos preparados. Suponemos que no esperábamos menos de Taylor, ella es la realeza americana.

De todos modos, parece que nuestra teoría de que llegó a Los Ángeles para pasar la noche después de un largo vuelo desde Tokio terminó siendo correcta. En lugar de ir directamente allí, se quedó una noche.

Fue un viaje relámpago y probablemente está corriendo en estos momentos.

Sin embargo, sabemos que su amor por Travis puede más, y tendrá la oportunidad de animar a su novio en el escenario más grande en los deportes estadounidenses. Y sí, como informamos, ella estará en una suite privada con su familia y la de Travis.

La gente ha estado pegada a sus pantallas para ver cuando Taylor va a aterrizar en Las Vegas, y parece que está por llegar. El vuelo desde Los Ángeles es de unos 45 minutos.

Su presencia en el Super Bowl es una historia de cuento de hadas llegando a su final feliz.

Todos estamos emocionados de ver cómo se desarrolla esta historia, y estamos seguros de Travis también está viviendo un sueño.

El partido está a la vuelta de la esquina -a las 3:30 PM PT- y Taylor está a punto de llegar a Las Vegas. Estamos seguros de que va a ser una locura... pero nada que no pueda manejar.

Aquí vamos.

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and the field where the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are set to face off later this afternoon is pretty much all ready to be trampled on.

Check out these pics of a pretty pristine gridiron over at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas -- where the two teams will file in pretty soon to start warming up for the big game ... not to mention thousands of fans who paid top dollar to be there, nose-bleeds or otherwise.

As you can see, the field has been properly marked and labeled with the Chiefs and 49ers logos on each end ... and workers are adding some finishing touches down there too.

Indeed, it certainly looks Super Bowl ready -- and in about 3 hours, the grass will be totally trashed after a ton of bulky dudes running around and tackling each other. Football, baby!

Anyway, the lockers for each team are also in tip-top shape and all set to be used. The jerseys and helmets are all laid out -- and everyone's got their name above their own locker too. Brock Purdy of the 49ers has his spot already designated, as does everyone else.

It's pretty neat to get a behind-the-scenes look at the quiet before the storm ... right now, it's just personnel people in the building -- but soon, this place is gonna be absolutely packed.

Big day obviously, for a number of reasons. Not only is there a football game to be played -- with a huge halftime show in store -- but everyone's gonna have eyes on Taylor Swift as well.

More specifically ... everyone will be watching to see how she reacts to a potential win or loss, and whether Travis Kelce has any ideas if he's riding high on yet another SB victory.

Donald Trump says he'd be shocked if Taylor Swift endorsed President Joe Biden again ... 'cause Donald says he made her a ton of money -- and implied he expects some loyalty.

The former prez took to Truth Social early Sunday morning and addressed the world's biggest celebrity couple -- as well as rumblings that Taylor would endorse Biden again.

DT started by touting one of his legislative accomplishments ... passing the Music Modernization Act -- a law that basically changed the way songwriters and music publishers are paid certain royalties -- on the whole, it helps artists receive fairer compensation.

The MMA was signed into law in 2018, under 45 ... so he feels he helped make Swift some serious cash -- adding Joe Biden hasn't done "anything for Taylor, and never will."

He then invoked the word "disloyal" ... saying Swift could never turn against "the man who made her so much money."

Trump finished off his post with some complimentary words for Travis Kelce ... saying he quite likes the two-time Super Bowl champ -- even if he is a liberal!

While not outright complimentary of Swift, this seems like a shift away from his campaign's reported strategy regarding the world's biggest pop star.

Remember ... Rolling Stone reported the Trump campaign was preparing for a "holy war" against her. Unclear exactly what that means, but this isn't the blatant condemnation one would expect from holy warriors.

It does seem to draw a line in the sand though ... ex-POTUS expects loyalty -- and it seems like the situation could get messy if T-Swift doesn't kiss the ring.

Taylor endorsed Joe for his 2020 presidential run ... and it seems unlikely she'll back Trump this time, though we suppose anything is possible.

Kickoff is just a few hours away ... but a much bigger battle seems to be brewing on the horizon.

Brett Favre has been a bit of a good luck charm for the Kansas City Chiefs -- they're 2-0 when he's attended their recent Super Bowls -- but he can't make it to the big game this weekend ... and now, he's hoping that doesn't jinx Patrick Mahomes and Co.

The NFL legend tells TMZ Sports ... because of his close relationship with Andy Reid, he's previously gone out to two of K.C.'s three most recent SB appearances to give a championship pep talk to the team.

Both times, he said, they won ... so, naturally, Reid invited him out to Las Vegas this week to keep the streak going.

However, Favre says he's not going to be able to be in attendance this year -- and he's nervous about the juju it might bring to Chiefs Kingdom.

"Knock on wood!" the ex-Packers quarterback said.

Superstitions aside, Favre tells us he's super proud of what Reid has accomplished since the two worked together in Green Bay way back in the 1990s ... telling us he could see even then that Reid had this in him.

In fact, he says he's never seen Andy happier ... and he can't fathom Big Red retiring after Sunday no matter what happens against the 49ers.

"He's enjoying -- maybe more so than any other time in his career -- what he's doing," Favre said. "He seems to be in a really good place."

Brett Favre ha sido un amuleto de la buena suerte para los Kansas City Chiefs, les va muy bien las veces que ha asistido a sus recientes Super Bowls, pero no puede llegar al gran juego de este fin de semana, y ahora, espera que esto no le traiga mala suerte a Patrick Mahomes y a su equipo.

La leyenda de la NFL le dice a TMZ Sports que debido a su estrecha relación con Andy Reid, ha ido previamente a dos de las tres más recientes participaciones del equipo para darle una charla a los jugadores.

En ambas ocasiones ganaron, así que naturalmente, Reid lo invitó a Las Vegas esta semana para mantener la buena racha.

Sin embargo, Favre dice que no va a ser capaz de estar presente este año y está nervioso por la mala suerte que esto le podría traerle al Reino de los Chiefs.

"¡Toco madera!", dijo el ex quarterback de los Packers.

Supersticiones aparte, Favre nos dice que está muy orgulloso de lo que Reid ha logrado desde que los dos trabajaron juntos en Green Bay en los 90s, diciéndonos que podía ver incluso entonces que Reid tenía algo especial.

De hecho, él dice que nunca ha visto a Andy más feliz y no puede concebir a Big Red retirándose después del domingo, no importa lo que pase contra los 49ers.

"Él está disfrutando -tal vez más que en cualquier otro momento de su carrera- lo que está haciendo", dijo Favre. "Parece estar en un buen momento".
