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.

Taylor Swift seems totally in love with Travis Kelce these days -- but her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, is looking pretty damn happy too ... including last night, in the company of hotties.

The British actor was attending a pre-BAFTAs dinner in London Tuesday -- where, upon exiting, the dude came across as sharp and ready to mingle ... dressed to the nines in a tux and rocking a sly smile that telegraphed pure confidence.

More interesting than his dapper appearance was who he eventually left the event with ... namely, actresses Ellie Bamber and Saffron Hocking -- who were in the same van he hopped into as they all made an exit.

As Joe piled into the vehicle ... paps fired away, and they happened to catch Saffron grinning wide and eyeing the homeboy here with a good old-fashioned once-over. Indeed ... she seems happy to see him.

From what we can gather ... he's fully moved on from T-Swift and enjoying his life across the pond with other lovely ladies, who just so happen to be in the same line of work as him.

Of course, it's interesting to see JA in such high spirits lately -- especially since Tay Tay is dropping a new album soon that just about everyone suspects will take aim at him and their relationship ... that's what the Swifties are anticipating anyway.

By most accounts, their relationship didn't end all that well ... and considering that Taylor's very much so living out loud -- especially in her new relationship with Travis -- many suspect she's happier and freer than she's ever been ... including when she was with Joe.

In any case ... Joe doesn't seem to be sweating it very much -- he's a man about town!

Taylor, meanwhile, appears all set to dredge up their past anew with another breakup album -- that's what looks to be promised, at least. Her fans eat that stuff up -- but it's a little weird ... especially since she's knee-deep with a whole new boyfriend now.

Taylor Swift parece totalmente enamorada de Travis Kelce por estos días, pero su ex novio, Joe Alwyn, también se ve muy feliz en compañía de unas guapas chicas.

El actor británico asistió a una cena pre-BAFTAs en Londres el martes, donde fue visto de punta en blanco en un esmoquin y con una sonrisa astuta que irradiaba confianza.

Más interesante que su elegante atuendo fue con quien abandonó el evento, a saber, las actrices Ellie Bamber y Saffron Hocking, quienes se subieron a la misma furgoneta que él a la salida del evento.

Mientras Joe se acomodaba en el vehículo, los paparazzi dispararon desde lejos y captaron a Saffron sonriendo de par en par a Joe en un atuendo espectacular.

De lo que podemos deducir, él ha pasado totalmente la página de T-Swift y está disfrutando de su vida al otro lado del charco con otras encantadoras mujeres.

Por supuesto, es interesante ver a Joe de tan buen humor últimamente, sobre todo porque Tay Tay va a lanzar un nuevo álbum pronto que casi todo el mundo sospecha que apunta a su relación con él o eso es lo que los Swifties están anticipando.

Según lo que hemos escuchado, su relación no terminó tan bien y luego de ver a Taylor disfrutando de su vida, especialmente con su nuevo novio Travis, muchos sospechan que es más feliz y libre que nunca, incluso más que cuando estaba con Joe.

En cualquier caso, Joe no parece estar muy preocupado, ¡es un hombre de la ciudad!

Taylor, mientras tanto, parece lista para desenterrar su pasado nuevamente con otro álbum de ruptura -o eso se espera, al menos. A sus fans les encantan esas cosas, pero sería un poco raro, sobre todo porque está súper prendada de su nuevo novio.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce linked up with another famous couple while celebrating his Super Bowl win ... none other than Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly!!!

The big four posed for a photo together during the Kansas City Chiefs' after-party at Zouk Nightclub in Resorts World Las Vegas.

As you can see, Taylor is resting on Travis' shoulder while Megan and MGK throw up peace signs for the camera ... and it seems everyone got the memo, because they're all wearing black.

Taylor and Travis weren't the only stars Megan and MGK visited in Sin City over Super Bowl weekend ... they also went to see Christina Aguilera perform.

Christina has a residency at The Venetian on The Strip and she took some snaps with Megan and MGK after they took in her show.

But the big thing here is the Taylor, Travis, Megan, MGK meeting.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce se juntaron con otra pareja famosa mientras celebraban su victoria en el Super Bowl, ¡nada menos que Megan Fox y Machine Gun Kelly!

Los cuatro grandes posaron para una foto juntos durante la fiesta posterior de los Kansas City Chiefs en Zouk Nightclub en Resorts World Las Vegas.

Como se puede ver, Taylor está descansando en el hombro de Travis mientras Megan y MGK le lanzan signos de paz a la cámara y parece que todo el mundo recibió el memo, porque todos están vestidos de negro.

Taylor y Travis no fueron las únicas estrellas que Megan y MGK visitaron en Sin City durante el fin de semana del Super Bowl, también fueron a ver la actuación de Christina Aguilera.

Christina tiene una residencia en The Venetian en The Strip y ella tomó algunas fotos con Megan y MGK después de su show.

Aunque lo importante aquí es la reunión entre Taylor, Travis, Megan y MGK.

Selena Quintanilla didn't cut Yolanda Saldívar out of her life after her father accused Yolanda of embezzling from Selena's clothing boutique ... because they jetted to Mexico together.

That's what Yolanda's family is claiming, saying they have airplane tickets showing Selena and the woman who would later kill her flew first class to Monterrey only a week after Abraham Quintanilla confronted Yolanda about missing funds.

The shocking allegation is featured in the upcoming Oxygen docuseries, "Selena & Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them."

In a clip from the series, obtained by TMZ, Yolanda's family discovers first-class United Airlines tickets for Selena and Yolanda on March 17, 1995 ... only 8 days after Yolanda was accused of embezzlement.

Yolanda's family says the previously unknown trip raises new questions -- like, why would Selena continue her business relationship with Yolanda after her pops made serious allegations?

Selena's dad fired Yolanda on March 9, 1995, after accusing her of embezzling money from the Tejano star's clothing company, which was planning to open a boutique in Monterrey.

Yolanda ended up shooting and killing Selena 2 weeks after their flight to Mexico ... and now she's serving a life sentence, though she's eligible for parole on March 30, 2025.

In an interview from prison, Yolanda claims Selena would not accept her resignation and wanted to keep her around to run the clothing line and oversee things down in Mexico.

Selena's father has blasted the doc, telling us it's a slap in the face to his family. He also says Yolanda's story is packed with lies.

Selena Quintanilla no sacó a Yolanda Saldívar de su vida después de que su padre acusara a Yolanda de malversar fondos de la boutique de ropa de Selena, porque viajaron juntas a México.

Eso es lo que afirma la familia de Yolanda, diciendo que tienen billetes de avión que muestran que Selena y a la mujer que más tarde la mataría volaron en primera clase a Monterrey solo una semana después de Abraham Quintanilla se enfrentó a Yolanda sobre los fondos que faltan.

La impactante acusación aparece en la próxima docuserie de Oxygen, "Selena & Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them".

En un clip de la serie, obtenido por TMZ, la familia de Yolanda descubre billetes de primera clase de United Airlines para Selena y Yolanda el 17 de marzo de 1995, solo 8 días después de que Yolanda fuera acusada de malversación de fondos.

La familia de Yolanda dice que el viaje previamente desconocido plantea nuevas preguntas, como, ¿por qué Selena continúa su relación de negocios con Yolanda después de que su papá hizo graves acusaciones?

El padre de Selena despidió a Yolanda el 9 de marzo de 1995, tras acusarla de malversar dinero de la empresa de ropa de la estrella tejana que planeaba abrir una boutique en Monterrey.

Yolanda le terminó disparando y matando a Selena dos semanas después de su vuelo a México y ahora está cumpliendo una cadena perpetua, aunque es elegible para libertad condicional el 30 de marzo de 2025.

En una entrevista desde la cárcel, Yolanda afirma que Selena no aceptó su renuncia y quería mantenerla cerca para ejecutar la línea de ropa y supervisar las cosas en México.

El padre de Selena ha criticado el documento, diciéndonos que es una bofetada en la cara a su familia. También dice que la historia de Yolanda está llena de mentiras.

LeBron James simply couldn't contain himself while jamming out to GloRilla's new song in the gym ... dancing along and reciting the very few words he knew.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar -- who's no stranger to documenting his favorite tracks in the rap game on social media -- was back at it with his usual antics on Tuesday ... this time, showing love for the Memphis artist's "Yeah Glo!"

We're not gonna fault the guy for not knowing all the lyrics, considering the song just came out last week ... but damn, does he really try to push his way through it nonetheless.

Of course, King James isn't believed to be a frequent visitor of Genius.com -- he's known for taking some creative liberties whenever he throws his background vocals during his music sessions ... like his notorious "yabba dabba doo I don't know Old Navy" while singing along to 6LACK's "hoppin' out the car, no photos, baby" line in "Stay Down."

Either way, it's a drastic improvement for the four-time NBA champ ... he really has come so far.

4:02 PM PT -- Kanye West is denying Brandon Marshall's claims about Yeezy and Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl.

A rep for Kanye tells TMZ ... "This is a completely fabricated rumor. It is not true."

Kanye West apparently intended to upstage Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl -- but the pop superstar torpedoed his plan -- at least, that's what one former NFL star is claiming.

Brandon Marshall -- who played in the league from 2006-2018 for a number of teams -- made the shocking allegation on his "Paper Route" podcast this week ... explaining that he'd heard Ye purposely purchased seats right in front of Tay Tay's suite for the Big Game.

According to this purported tea ... the idea, it seems, was an attempt to photobomb all her inevitable TV appearances. On its face, it comes across as a good old-fashioned spite effort.

However, the ex-All-Pro receiver explained the alleged scheme never came to fruition ... as Swift made "a call or two" to have Ye kicked out of Allegiant Stadium entirely -- that's what Brandon's claiming anyway.

Take it all with a grain of salt, but considering how polarizing Ye has been recently -- and Swift being the non-athlete face of the SB champs this season -- it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility the league may have nudged KW to somewhere a little more low-key.

It's also hard to say with any certainty whether she actually got him fully kicked out or not, as Brandon suggests here ... especially if he bought a ticket lawfully and by the book.

In any case ... BM sounds 100% confident that he's breaking news with the world here.

Also worth noting -- TMZ spoke with Ye for several minutes on Monday ... and he only mentioned Swift in a pretty lukewarm manner.

You'd think Ye would pounce at the opportunity to trash Travis Kelce's girlfriend if it really went down as Marshall claims ... but perhaps he got some details fudged up (after all, he did initially confuse Swift with Katy Perry, FWIW).

Either way ... Ye and his wife, Bianca Censori, were definitely at the venue ... with the former rocking a face covering featuring a white crucifix. There are photos of Kanye in the building -- and in the one pic that's going around, he does appear to be next to a stadium worker.

We've made some calls to try and clear the air ... so far, no word back.

Beyoncé se mantiene activa y va a incursionar en la música country. De acuerdo con Killah B -que produjo y co-escribió su nueva canción, "Texas Hold 'Em"- algo grande está en el horizonte.

Hablamos con el productor nominado al Grammy el martes en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos si el próximo álbum de Bey "Renaissance Act II" contaría con alguna colaboración -en particular con su buena amiga Taylor Swift- obviamente  porque tiene raíces en la música country y su respuesta es muy reveladora.

Por supuesto, Killah no nos dijo directamente que Taylor aparecería en el álbum, pero reforzó lo que los fans ya saben... Bey guarda muy bien sus secretos.

Sin embargo, llamó la atención de todos cuando dijo: "Digamos que ella está enfocada en sorprender al mundo".

Dejen volar su imaginación con ese críptico comentario.

"Adelante y crucen los dedos, o agarren sus pulseras de la amistad, una colaboración entre las dos mujeres más grandes en el negocio parece plausible, especialmente teniendo en cuenta su historia de apoyo mutuo".

Como recordarás, Tay Tay apareció en el estreno de "Renaissance" en Londres en noviembre después de que B saliera a apoyar el estreno de la película de la gira "Eras" en Los Ángeles.

Pero Killah deja claro que vamos a tener que esperar para ver lo que pasa cuando el álbum aparezca el 29 de marzo.

Por ahora, está celebrando que "Texas Hold 'Em" es la canción country número uno en todas las plataformas de streaming de música, bastante bien teniendo en cuenta que Bey acaba de presentarla el domingo en el Super Bowl junto con otra pista, "16 Carriages".

DJ Whoo Kid is applauding J. Cole's decision to ignore a CD recently thrown at his dome right in the middle of a performance, because he says there's a time and place ... and that wasn't it!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the 'Whollywood Shuffle' star at Shaq's Fun House in Las Vegas, where he soaked up the festivities, including Lil Wayne's stage-shattering performance.

Whoo Kid says he can relate to Cole in the worst way possible ... he's had guys pushing tapes on him at the worst times imaginable -- while he's trying to get his mack on!

Which would you choose ... a potential ménage à trois or some guy's hopes and dreams on a hard drive? Whoo Kid says that's a no-brainer for everyone.

Cole didn't give things much thought last week while performing in support of Drake's "It’s All a Blur – Big As the What?" tour when a burned CD crash-landed onstage, getting the Dreamville rapper's attention.

The fan who threw it was instantly given a wake-up call when Cole quipped, "It’s 2024, n****, USB is okay.”

Some fans took exception to Cole's reaction -- after all, much of his early rhymes focus on cracking superstardom at all costs.

Usher is a newly married man once again ... an event his ex-wife couldn't be happier about for him -- 'cause she's got motion of her own ... moving and grooving over the news!!!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke to Tameka Foster on Tuesday, ahead of the launch of her new reality series, "Bold and Bougie" ... but she tells us she had a blast at the Super Bowl last Sunday, just like her ex-hubby did during his halftime show.

Tameka's been one of Atlanta's most sought-after stylists for YEARS, so first things first -- we had to get her thoughts on the viral backlash regarding Jermaine Dupri's schoolboy-style uniform ... and him trying to use its Louis Vuitton labels as somewhat of a defense.

Hundreds of comments rejected JD's rebuttal and you can add Tameka to that list too. She tells us relying heavily on designer brands won't always breed the best style results ... sorry, JD ... these are just her confessions.

Bottom line ... she's not very approving, just like the rest of the Internet didn't.

As for Usher, social media users couldn't help but bring her name up when we broke the deets on his marriage to Jennifer Goicoechea on Sunday ... Tameka's blowing them off.

They've been divorced for eons now -- since 2009, actually  -- but do have two children together ... and Tameka tells us he's a great dad. As a matter of fact ... one of their sons just may follow in his singing shadow sooner than later, 'cause he's a helluva crooner himself.

In any case, Tameka's not entertaining negativity on her side -- and neither are her gal pals Malaysia Pargo, Gocha Hawkins, Princess Banton-Lofters and Crystal Smith in their new TV venture.

Ya can't be a boss and be bothered by online BS ... and Tameka certainly isn't as it pertains to Usher's new marriage.

Una estación de radio de un pequeño pueblo de Oklahoma está bajo fuego después de que un oyente la acusara de prohibir a propósito las nuevas canciones country de Beyoncé, aunque todo el asunto ha sido totalmente deformado y ya está resuelto.

Esta es la cuestión, alguien corrió a X este martes para alegar que KYKC, una estación de country en Ada, les dijo que no tocarían los dos nuevos singles de Bey cuando se los pidió, porque "no tocan a Beyoncé".

Hace falta un montón de contexto en ese primer comentario, obviamente, pero el usuario corrió a escribir lo que él calificó como racismo flagrante, sugiriendo que la estación de radio estaba tratando de privarlos de su música.

El usuario escribió: "Solicité "Texas Hold 'Em" a mi emisora de radio country local (KYKC) y después de solicitarla, recibí un correo electrónico de la emisora de radio". Publicó una captura de pantalla de la respuesta de KYKC, que señala que son una emisora de música country y que por eso no pondrían a Beyoncé.

Una vez más, el usuario de X no explicó ni mostró pruebas de la redacción exacta que hizo inicialmente a KYKC, pero estaba llamando a la gente a boicotear la estación y, como era de esperar, un montón de fans de Bey estaban listos para llevarlos a la horca.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el usuario de X, quien nos dijo que su petición original a KYKC había sido: "Por favor, toquen la nueva canción 'Texas Hold 'Em' de Beyoncé". En su opinión, debería haber sido obvio para la emisora que estaba solicitando una canción country, ya que ya ha sido etiquetada como tal en las principales plataformas de streaming.

También nos pusimos en contacto con KYKC y un empleado nos dijo que la estación todavía no ha recibido las nuevas canciones de Beyoncé "Texas Hold 'Em" y "16 Carriages" y es por eso que no las está tocando. Otra estación de Oklahoma KECO en Elk Citynos dijo lo mismo: aún no tienen las pistas.

En términos de si KYKC era consciente de que Beyoncé había sacado dos canciones country -con un álbum en camino- la respuesta parece ser no.

Obtuvimos más correspondencia entre el usuario de X y KYKC que sugiere fuertemente que la estación simplemente no estaba al tanto de los nuevos singles de Bey. Lo cierto es que si sus programadores no estaban viendo las redes sociales el domingo o el Super Bowl cuando se emitió el anuncio de Verizon de Beyonce, tiene sentido que no tuvieran ni idea.

Pero la colmena de Bey puede dar la pelea. Debido a la gran atención que causó el post del usuario en X, KYKC le dice a TMZ que pusieron la canción "Texas Hold 'Em" por primera vez el martes por la tarde. Problema resuelto.

Ahora mismo, las nuevas canciones de Bey no están en las listas de Billboard, que se publicaron hace 2 días, por lo que no aparecerá en las listas hasta la próxima semana, como mucho. Sin embargo, "Texas Hold 'Em" está muy bien en las listas de streaming y sospechamos que los oyentes de KYKC la escucharán mucho en los próximos días.

Ha habido mucha discusión en Internet y en la vida real sobre la irrupción de Beyoncé en el country y, a primera vista, parece que algunos tienen ideas preconcebidas sobre la escena de la música country.

Beyoncé's keeping the surprises coming with her dive into country music -- that's according to Killah B, who produced and co-wrote her new track, "Texas Hold 'Em," and hints something huge is on the horizon.

We spoke to the Grammy-nominated producer Tuesday on "TMZ Live" ... asking him if Bey's upcoming "Renaissance Act II" album would feature any guest collabs, particularly with her good pal Taylor Swift, who obviously has country music roots -- and his response is very telling.

Of course, Killah didn't outright tell us TS would appear on the album -- he reinforced what fans already know ... secrecy is practically Bey's middle name.

However, he did raise our eyebrows by saying this about the project -- "Let's just say she's on the approach of shocking the world."

As he put it ... go ahead and let your imagination run wild with that cryptic comment.

Go ahead and start crossing your fingers, or clutching your friendship bracelets -- a collab between the 2 biggest women in the biz seems plausible, especially considering their history of supporting each other.

You'll recall, Tay Tay showed face at Queen Bey's "Renaissance" London premiere in November after B came out to support the 'Eras' tour movie's L.A. premiere.

But Killah makes it clear, we're just gonna have to wait to see what unfolds when the album drops March 29.

As for now, he's celebrating "Texas Hold 'Em" being the number one country song on all music streaming platforms -- a massive deal given that Bey just unveiled it on Super Bowl Sunday ... alongside another track, "16 Carriages."

A small-town Oklahoma radio station is under fire after a listener accused it of purposely barring Beyoncé's new country songs -- but the whole thing has been totally warped, and in fact, it's now resolved.

Here's the deal ... someone on X hopped online Tuesday, claiming KYKC -- a local country station in Ada, OK -- had told him they refused to play Bey's 2 new country singles when he requested them, because they "do not play Beyoncé."

There was a lot of context missing here, obviously, but the user ran with this as what he characterized as blatant racism ... suggesting the station was purposely trying to box her out.

He wrote, "I requested Texas Hold ‘Em at my local country radio station (KYKC) and after requesting, i received an email from the radio station." He posted a screenshot of the KYKC response, which notes they're a country music station, and that's why they wouldn't play Beyoncé.

Again, on X, the user didn't explain (or show proof of) the exact wording of his original request to KYKC, but he was calling for people to boycott the station -- and, as you might expect, lots of Bey's fans have their pitchforks out.

Welp, TMZ got to the bottom of this, and the station might be off the hook.

We contacted the X user, who told us his original request to KYKC was ... "Please play the new song, 'Texas Hold 'Em' by Beyoncé." In his eyes, he says it should've been obvious to the station he was requesting a country song, as it's already been labeled as such on major streaming platforms.

We also reached out to KYKC, and a staffer told us the station hasn't received Beyoncé's new songs -- "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages" -- yet, and that's why it's not playing them. Another Oklahoma country station -- KECO in Elk City -- told us the same ... they don't have the tracks yet.

In terms of whether KYKC was even aware Beyoncé had dropped 2 country songs -- with a country album on the way -- the answer seems to be no.

We obtained further correspondence between the X user and KYKC that strongly suggests the station just was not aware of Bey's new drops. Fact is, if its programmers weren't on social media Sunday night, or watching the Super Bowl when Beyonce's Verizon commercial aired ... it makes sense they'd have no clue.

But, the Beyhive can fall back. Due in no small part to all the attention the X user's post got today ... KYKC tells TMZ it played "Texas Hold 'Em" for the first time Tuesday afternoon. Problem solved.

As of right now, Bey's new songs are not charting on Billboard -- they were just released 2 days ago, so they won't appear on Billboard's charts until next week, at the earliest. However, "Texas Hold 'Em" is doing very well on streaming charts, and we suspect KYKC listeners will be hearing it plenty in coming days.

There's been a lot of discussion -- online and IRL -- about Beyoncé breaking into country, and, on its face, it feels like some have preconceived notions about the country music scene.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

We caught up with Kanye West at LAX fresh on the heels of 'Vultures' hitting #1 on the charts, and he told us that he can't be canceled, and stands by his antisemitic statements.

Katy Perry revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel: Live!" that the upcoming season of "American Idol" will be her last, while subtly teasing new music.

Tom Cruise reportedly has a new girlfriend, and the two are "growing closer" according to insiders.

Plus, Beyoncé released two new country genre singles from her upcoming "Renaissance: Act II," despite receiving backlash at the 2016 CMAs.
