Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce appeared to be just a wee bit drunk at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade Wednesday ... slurring his way through a rendition of "Friends In Low Places" -- before Patrick Mahomes had to snatch the microphone away from him.

The hundreds of thousands of Kansas City supporters in attendance at Union Station couldn't wait for the tight end to hop on the mic at the championship celebration -- and, initially, it looked like he was going to deliver a speech for the ages.

The 34-year-old started to lead the crowd in a chant that accompanies the Tomahawk Chop ... before he called an audible, and tried to get everyone to sing Garth Brooks' hit song along with him.

Quickly, however, it became apparent Kelce was a little too overserved to get through the whole tune ... as he mixed up words and stumbled repeatedly.

He tried to make things right by going to his phone for the lyrics ... but even that didn't seem to do the trick.

Ultimately, Mahomes bailed him out by singing the song's chorus ... before he gave up -- and handed the microphone off to the show's host.

Up until that point, most of the rest of the Chiefs seemed fairly composed -- Mahomes spoke to the crowd about getting back to this point next season ... while star defensive end Chris Jones guaranteed he won't be moving on from Kansas City in free agency.

As for where Kelce goes from here, it's unclear ... as his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, is in Australia -- while he's obviously in need of some water and a nap.

Travis Kelce is addressing one of the Super Bowl's most viral moments -- when the superstar TE nearly knocked head coach Andy Reid flat on his ass -- publicly beating himself up for his actions, admitting it NEVER should've happened.

"It’s definitely unacceptable and I immediately wish I would have took it back," Trav told brother Jason on the newly released episode of their "New Heights" podcast.

Thankfully, there doesn't appear to be any hard feelings between coach and player ... T.K. says he had a conversation with Reid on the field soon after the incident, and they're cool. Winning the Super Bowl also doesn't hurt.

“I just love playing for the guy and unfortunately, sometimes my passion comes out where it looks like it’s negativity but I’m grateful that [Andy] knows that it’s all because I want to win [the Super Bowl] with him more than anything,” Travis added.

Jason, who used to play for Reid in Philadelphia, was also critical of his brother's actions.

"You crossed the line, I think we can both agree on it," JK said, with Travis ... "I did."

Jason added ... "Let's be honest, the yelling in his face too is over the top. I think there's better ways to handle this, retrospectively."

Of course, Travis and Andy go back to 2013 when both men arrived in Kansas City.

Not everyone seems willing to just brush off the exchange and move on ... including some fellow NFL stars like A.J. Brown, who claimed he "would've been kicked out of the league" if he pulled a Kelce.

Travis seems unbothered by the outside criticism.

"I don't give a s*** what anybody else says."

Inside the org, everything appears to be great ... in fact, Reid and Kelce are together at the parade as we type.

Travis Kelce está abordando uno de los momentos más comentados en el Super Bowl y fue cuando la superestrella de los Chiefs casi golpeó al entrenador Andy Reid en su trasero, admitiendo públicamente que eso NUNCA debería haber sucedido.

"Es definitivamente inaceptable y desearía haberme retractado inmediatamente", dijo Trav a su hermano Jason en el recién estrenado episodio de su podcast "New Heights".

Por suerte, no parece que haya rencores entre el entrenador y el jugador. Travis Kelce dice que tuvo una conversación con Reid en el campo poco después del incidente, y que están en buenos términos. Ganar el Super Bowl tampoco hace daño.

"Me encanta jugar para él y, por desgracia, a veces mi pasión aparece y da la impresión de que es algo negativo, pero estoy agradecido de que [Andy] sepa que todo es porque quiero ganar [el Super Bowl] con él más que nada", añadió Travis.

Jason, quien solía jugar para Reid en Filadelfia, también criticó las acciones de su hermano.

"Cruzaste la línea, creo que ambos podemos estar de acuerdo en ello", le dijo Jason Kelce,  a lo que Travis respondió: "Lo hice."

Jason añadió ... "Seamos honestos, gritarle en la cara también es exagerado. Creo que hay mejores maneras de manejar esto, retrospectivamente ".

Por supuesto, la relación de Travis y Andy se remonta al 2013, cuando ambos hombres llegaron al Kansas City.

No todos parecen dispuestos a simplemente dejar pasar el intercambio y seguir adelante, incluyendo algunos compañeros de la NFL como A.J. Brown, quien afirmó que él "habría sido expulsado de la liga" si empujaba a Kelce.

A Travis parecen no importarle las críticas externas.

"Me importa una m*** lo que digan los demás".

Dentro de la organización, todo parece estar muy bien. De hecho, Reid y Kelce están juntos en el desfile mientras escribimos.

It's clear to Jason Kelce that his brother, Travis, is completely smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying this week that the two are "people in love."

The Chiefs tight end's big bro slipped the comment in during the latest episode of "New Heights" ... while talking about the massive party everyone had following Kansas City's Super Bowl win on Sunday in Las Vegas.

Travis and Jason were laughing about how the elder Kelce lost his mind after discovering a Chiefs-colored luchador mask on a dance floor ... before they started talking about how hysterical it looked on him while they were at XS Nightclub.

Travis brought up one scene from the party in particular ... when he was with Swift on the side of the stage while Jason was in the DJ booth with Marshmello, waving his arms around like a mad man.

Travis couldn't stop giggling about it -- and that's when Jason dropped the L-word into the convo.

"On this side," Jason said of the now viral video of the situation, "two people in love and enjoying the moment together -- panning to a complete Neanderthal who is no longer connected with modern-day society."

Travis didn't remotely attempt to deny any of it ... chuckling through it all.

Of course, Jason is confirming what we had already known ... as hot mics caught Travis telling Taylor following the AFC Championship Game last month, "I love you."

Taylor Swift has finally arrived in Australia ahead of a string of shows -- and as she landed around midnight (locally) ... she had a bunch of fans waiting for her right outside.

The pop star's private jet landed in Melbourne early this morning -- this after she went from L.A. to Hawaii, and then continued on down under overnight -- and as she touched down at the airport ... there were onlookers ready to greet her with a warm welcome.

Take a peek yourself ... as the plane hit the runway, paps and fans alike were perched and prepared to get a glimpse -- heck, there were even airport workers out there lining the fence!

More interestingly, though, was the fact that a decent-sized crowd had formed not too far from Taylor's jet ... basically, it was a bunch of kids/teens with signs for her -- and they were out there cheering on the fact she was stepping foot onto their turf.

Clearly, Swifties are international and all over the place -- and there's no shortage in Australia.

This marks the first major move Taylor's made since her big Super Bowl weekend -- where she partied the night away with Travis Kelce all over Vegas following the Chiefs' win.

While Travis' season might be over ... Taylor's work life is kinda just beginning after a major hiatus through the holidays. She's got a crap ton of shows lined up in the coming months -- and this stop in Melbourne is the first of many to come.

There's already been reports that Travis is going to accompany Taylor for at least some of these shows ... but it's unclear if he's gonna head out to Australia himself in the coming days.

He did say last week that he'd love to go visit down undah if he got the chance. After his Super Bowl parade in Kansas City today, he'll have nothing but time on his hands.

Taylor Swift ha llegado finalmente a Australia antes de una serie de conciertos en el país y aunque aterrizó cerca de la medianoche (local), ¡tenía a un montón de fans esperándola!

El jet privado de la estrella del pop aterrizó en Melbourne esta mañana, después de que se fuera de Los Ángeles a Hawái, y luego continuara su viaje por la noche. Cuando finalmente arribó en el aeropuerto había varios curiosos listos para recibirla con una cálida bienvenida.

Echa un vistazo tú mismo. Cuando el avión llegó a la pista, los paparazzi y los fans estaban encaramados por igual y preparados para verla, ¡incluso había trabajadores del aeropuerto alineados en la valla!

Más interesante, sin embargo, es que una multitud de un buen tamaño se formó no muy lejos del avión de Taylor. Básicamente, eran un montón de niñas y adolescentes con carteles para ella y estaban celebrando que la estrella estuviera pisando su territorio.

Está claro que los Swifties están por todas partes y en Australia no faltan.

Este es el primer gran movimiento que hace Taylor desde su gran fin de semana en el Super Bowl, donde se fue de fiesta con Travis Kelce por todo Las Vegas después de la victoria de los Chiefs.

Aunque la temporada de Travis terminó, la vida laboral de Taylor acaba de empezar tras un paréntesis importante durante las vacaciones. Ella tiene un montón de conciertos en los próximos meses y esta parada en Melbourne es solo la primera de muchas.

Ha habido reportes de que Travis va a acompañar a Taylor en al menos algunos de estos espectáculos, pero no está claro si va a ir a Australia por su cuenta en los próximos días.

Jason Kelce se perdió todo el espectáculo de Usher el domingo, diciendo que el caos que rodeaba a Taylor Swift le obligó a encontrar cobertura en otro lugar.

El hermano mayor de Travis Kelce hizo la revelación en el episodio del miércoles de "New Heights" explicando que tantas celebridades trataron de llegar a Swift en el medio tiempo del partido Chiefs vs. 49ers que simplemente no pudo ver nada de la gran actuación de Usher.

"Había tantas cosas pasando en el palco", dijo la estrella de los Philadelphia Eagles. "Resulta que todo el mundo quería conocer a Taylor".

Jason dijo que las estrellas que buscaban charlar con la autora de "Love Story" incluían a Shaquille O'Neal... y en un momento dado, había tanta gente allí que todo se volvió "abrumador".

"Creo que fue la primera vez que entendí algunas de las cosas con las que ella tiene que lidiar. Porque había tanta gente ahí que era como: "Amigo, todo el mundo quiere venir a verla, pero el palco no es tan grande".

Jason dio a entender que Taylor manejó todo de muy buena manera, algo que no sorprendió a Travis ni un poco.

"Taylor prospera en esas situaciones", dijo el novio de Swift en el pódcast. "Ella ha estado en ellas innumerables veces en su vida".

Jason Kelce missed every bit of Usher's halftime show on Sunday ... saying the chaos surrounding Taylor Swift during the break in the Super Bowl's action forced him to find cover elsewhere.

Travis Kelce's big brother made the revelation on Wednesday's episode of "New Heights" ... explaining so many celebs tried to get to Swift at halftime of the Chiefs vs. 49ers game at Allegiant Stadium, that he simply could not catch "a lick" of Usher's big performance.

"There was so much happening in the suite," the Philadelphia Eagles star said. "Turns out, everybody wants to meet Taylor."

Jason said the A-listers looking to chat with the "Love Story" crooner included Shaquille O'Neal ... and at point, so many people were there trying to grab her ear that it all got "overwhelming."

"I mean, dude," Jason said, "I think it was my first really understanding of kind of some of the things she has to deal with on a lot of basis. Because there was so many star-studded people there, where it's like, 'Dude, everybody wants to come see her,' but the suite's only so big."

Jason implied, though, that Taylor handled it all with flying colors ... something that didn't surprise Travis one bit.

"Taylor thrives in those situations," Swift's boyfriend said on the podcast. "She's been in them countless times in her life."

Patrick Mahomes' wife is pulling out all the stops to get right in time for the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade on Wednesday ... having an IV stuck in her arm for some rapid rehydration.

The Chiefs players and their significant others have been taking advantage of their right to party after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas ... going on what appears to be a multi-day bender at this point.

Brittany shared a glimpse of the measures she's taking to reach 100% (or at least close enough to start drinking again) ... getting some much-needed IV therapy before riding through the streets of Kansas City in a few hours.

"Saving me always," Mahomes said on Instagram alongside a pic of the treatment -- which has become a popular move for party-goers in recent years, as it helps with hangovers.

Of course, the Chiefs deserve to go all-out in their celebration ... and it seems like they did just that -- Patrick appeared to be struggling while doing interviews at Disneyland on Monday, and Mecole Hardman told us on Tuesday he hadn't gotten any sleep yet!!

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce made their way through the streets of Kansas City to celebrate the Chiefs' Super Bowl ... but it's their teammate, Willie Gay, who was by far the MVP of the day.

The parade went down on Wednesday ... and the victors did it big as they partied with Chiefs Kingdom.

Gay set the bar high early on in the parade ... going shirtless, running and dancing -- even hopping on a car to give fans a better view of his vibe.

Gay also dropped to the ground at one point -- holding a bottle of Henny as he lay shoeless in the street.

Of course, the Coors Light, liquor and bubbly flowed from start to finish (hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere) ... and some players did a cheers with Casamigos tequila prior to the festivities.

Mahomes popped the top, too ... but he elected to put a jacket on (maybe out of fear of what the dad bod trolls would say).

Donna Kelce acted as Cupid for the parade ... passing out roses to folks in the crowd in honor of Valentine's Day.

The Bears may not sniff a Super Bowl for a while, but a teddy bear mascot head made a cameo for some reason ... with multiple players rocking it throughout the event.

To really lean into the animal theme, Isiah Pacheco and Mahomes had some time with a real baby goat wearing a No. 15 jersey!!

Kelce also had a freakin' blast -- getting a piggyback ride at one point in the bash!!

As we previously reported, the fans lined up in the early hours of Wednesday to prepare for the event ... braving the cold for their beloved team.

Chiefs fans have already hit the streets in Kansas City for the team's Super Bowl parade ... braving near-freezing temperatures to get ready for the upcoming party -- and a good spot for a potential glimpse of Taylor Swift too!!

The Kansas City Police Dept. shared video from the parade route minutes ago ... showing a drove of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce supporters already lining roadways -- this despite it being around 35 degrees at 7:30 AM.

The festivities won't officially begin for a few more hours ... but when it all kicks off -- it's expected to be a huge bash.

Of course, Kansas City fans are used to this by now -- this will be their third parade in the last five years -- though there might be one big addition to this title celly ... Swift!!

It's unclear if Kelce's GF will be in attendance -- she does, after all, have to be in Australia by Friday for her latest batch of 'Eras' tour shows -- but given that she's been such a loyal fan this year AND that it's Valentine's Day ... it certainly seems possible.

Even if she doesn't show, Mahomes, Kelce, Andy Reid and the rest of the guys will all be there ... something fans will gladly accept as a consolation prize.

Travis Kelce se deshizo en elogios hacia Taylor Swift después de ganar su tercer Super Bowl, agradeciéndole por volar a través del mundo para ver el partido y llamándola "absolutamente la mejor".

La NFL acaba de revelar el audio del emotivo momento posterior al partido de la pareja el martes, y la superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs derramó su corazón mientras compartía el gran momento con su novia.

"Gracias, gracias por el apoyo", dijo Kelce. "¡Gracias por atravesar medio mundo!".

Como informamos anteriormente, Swift se subió a un jet privado para llegar desde su parada de la gira "Eras" de Tokio a Las Vegas para el saque inicial del domingo y Kelce devolvió el favor con besos en el campo justo después de que los Chiefs vencieran a los 49ers en tiempo extra.

Kelce también le dejó saber a Tay Tay lo mucho que significa para él y se le puede escuchar en su voz que así es.

"Eres la mejor", dijo Kelce. "¡Absolutamente la mejor!"

Travis Kelce showered Taylor Swift with praise after winning his third Super Bowl ... thanking her for flying across the globe to catch the game and calling her "the absolute best."

The NFL just revealed the audio from the power couple's emotional postgame moment on Tuesday ... and the Kansas City Chiefs superstar poured his heart out as he soaked it all in with his girlfriend.

"Thank you, thank you for the support," Kelce said. "Thank you for making it halfway across the world!"

As we previously reported, Swift hopped on a private jet to make it from her "Eras" tour stop in Tokyo to Las Vegas for Sunday's kickoff ... and Kelce returned the favor with smooches on the field right after the Chiefs beat the 49ers in overtime.

Kelce also let Tay Tay know just how much she means to him ... and you can hear him call her a cute pet name.

"You're the best," Kelce said. "The absolute best, baby!"

The Super Bowl streaker is breaking his silence, explaining why he dropped $42k on front-row tix, only to be tackled on the field half-naked and thrown in the pokey ... revealing it all started with a bet!

TMZ Sports talked to SB streaker Alex Gonzalez on Monday ... just hours after he was released from the local jail.

The question ... why?!

Alex says the plan was to originally place a prop bet at a Vegas sportsbook ... plunking down cash on a fan running on the field during the Chiefs vs. Niners game.

Gonzalez says he was at a UFC event the day before Super Sunday, and he told everyone who would listen, including Dr. Phil and the Nelk Boys, that he was going on the field. So, place your bets.

The only issue? When Gonzalez tried to place the wager, it no longer existed. But, at that point, he says he was already committed ... so despite spending over 40 grand on tickets, Alex decided to go forward with the plan knowing he'd never get to finish watching the game.

"I'm like, 'Damn. I am in too deep at this point where I can't back out anymore.'"

Gonzalez and some buddies headed to a local sporting goods store to buy cleats (we know those Super Bowl fields) and other supplies, and they headed for Allegiant Stadium.

Then, when the third quarter rolled around (gotta watch at least some of the game), Alex and his friend made their move.

Gonzalez ultimately ran around for several seconds before giving himself up to security officers who were closing in, before leading him to a holding cell in the back of the new stadium.

Alex says he was then taken to jail where he spent Sunday night behind bars.

But, if you think he's regretting it all now ... watch the clip -- he certainly doesn't seem to be sweatin' the situation -- even if he is facing at least one misdemeanor charge.

Patrick Mahomes ain't the only Chief workin' on little to no sleep since the Super Bowl ... Mecole Hardman tells TMZ Sports he, too, hasn't gotten a lick of shut-eye since catching the game-winning touchdown Sunday.

The Kansas City wideout made the revelation to us on Tuesday while appearing with CB L'Jarius Sneed at a Missouri-based Raising Cane's ... saying straight up, "I ain't got no sleep yet."

"It's been hectic," he added.

Of course, Hardman isn't exactly complaining ... considering it's been a helluva ride since he caught the touchdown pass that gave the Chiefs the 25-22 win over the Niners in SB LVIII.

He got to talk with Taylor Swift in the postgame, party with teammates at a Las Vegas nightclub ... and then guest star on Monday night's taping of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" -- before he took Tuesday's shift at Raising Cane's.

"I've been enjoying the ride," he said. "Just taking advantage of it."

Mecole told us that because of the way he began the year with the Jets, this title win felt "a little more emotional" than his previous two. He then added that he sure hopes Kansas City will re-sign him for next season.

"That'll be the goal for sure to come back," he said.

Travis Kelce's enjoyed a bunch of professional perks since he started dating Taylor Swift, but it hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies ... the superstar TE was forced to move after overzealous fans camped out in front of his crib.

Kelce's big bro, Eagles center Jason Kelce, told the story on "The Big Podcast with Shaq" this week ... after The Big Fella asked the future Hall of Fame center about their newfound fame since Trav and T.S. hooked up.

"It's crazy what it opens up, opportunity-wise. It's crazy to feel how much joy you bring people or how much you affect people's daily lives," Jason told the NBA legend.

Now here's the but.

Kelce continued, "It has drawbacks, for sure and Travis knows more than I do."

That's when the 7x Pro Bowler revealed the reason behind Travis upgrading homes last October (he moved into a $6 million, 6 bed, 6 bath, 16,000 sq. ft. place), saying fans, who weren't invited, were basically camping outside his house, literally forcing him to move.

"He had to completely move out of his house," Jason said, "People were just staying by his house."

Unfortunately, not even the new place, with added security measures, was enough.

"The first day he moved into the new house, in a gated community, somebody knocks on the back window of the house."

Thankfully, no one has seemingly wanted to cause them harm ... but it's clear the Kelce's are still adjusting to their newfound fame outside of the NFL.

"The Taylor World and the pop culture world, that's a whole different level. It's a new demographic that wasn't there before," Jason said.

Sadly, Taylor's no stranger to overzealous fans. She's dealt with over a dozen stalkers, most recently including a man named David Crowe, who showed up to her NYC pad multiple times, despite being arrested.
