MAKING FRIENDS

The Swifties are showing they're big fans of Taylor's new man ... 'cause one of them hunted Travis Kelce down at the Jets game on Sunday to hand-deliver him a friendship bracelet.

The Swift supporter, Krissy, explained how she got it all done in a series of TikToks over the weekend ... saying she created the bracelet and one other for the wife of Kelce's brother, Jason, just prior to NY's game against the Eagles on Sunday morning.

She said when she got into MetLife Stadium, she and a friend went searching for Kelce ... and when she found him, she did her best to sweet talk security guards so she could get near him and hand off the goods.

RELATIONSHIP ON THE MAP

Eventually, she was able to get it to Kelce ... and he obviously loved it.

As for what was written on the jewelry, it said "On The Map" -- a reference to fans who have jokingly said Swift made Kelce famous.

NEVER GOING OUT OF STYLE

Kelce and Swift have been dating for a few weeks ... though they've just recently gone public with their relationship -- putting on several displays of PDA while out in New York over the weekend.

Neither has said much about their connection ... but handholding, romantic dates and late nights are saying it for them -- and the Swifties appear to here for all of it!

Aaron Rodgers Bounces Around, Throws Passes Before Game ... Return To Jets Coming?!?

WARMING UP

Aaron Rodgers gave Jets fans further hope that he can make a comeback this season ... looking good while throwing passes before New York's game Sunday.

The 39-year-old, who tore his Achilles during a game five weeks ago, was seen warming up with some teammates prior to the Jets vs. Eagles matchup ... and he didn't seem impaired at all.

He tossed the pigskin around ... and bounced a bit on both feet, before he headed off the turf.

UP AND AT 'EM

It's the second time in the last few days that Rodgers has shown progress since doctors surgically repaired his leg ... earlier this month, he was seen walking around in the Jets' locker room without any use of crutches.

He, of course, has made it a goal to return at some point to the Jets this year ... this despite most people with similar injuries requiring around 12 months to get healthy.

He told Pat McAfee just days after he was hurt in September that he was going to do all he could to get back under center ... and he was hopeful his doubters would help him return.

"Give me the timetables," he said. "Give me all the things that you think can, should, or will happen because all I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That's all I need."

Taylor Swift Skips Out on Eagles-Jets Game ... But Travis Attends Solo

Published | Updated

update

2:47 PM PT -- Turns out, Travis decided to crash his brother's game after all ... but he showed up late, and by himself ... sans Taylor hanging on his arm. The Chiefs tight end showed up in the stands Sunday around the 2nd quarter of the game -- rocking a green tracksuit and shades.

He looked relaxed, and it also appears his presence stayed pretty low-key... until pics of him started to float around on social media, that is. Like we said, Taylor ain't there -- so this won't be nearly as big a deal as it would be if she showed up. Today, it's all about brothers.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce faked everybody out -- despite making a splashy NYC appearance this weekend ... they're nowhere to be found for a key football game.

There was a lot of speculation that the couple would show up in person Sunday to watch the Jets-Eagles game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey ... y'know, to root for Travis's brother, Jason Kelce, seeing how he's a starter ... plus, Taylor herself is a known Philly fan.

101423-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-kal-v2 10/14/23
GETTIN' SERIOUS

Seeing how they both hit the town the night prior -- with a romantic dinner at Nobu, not to mention a major appearance on 'SNL' not long after -- everything seemed to be lining up for them to be hanging in a private suite come kickoff ... but that never actually happened.

Once the Jets-Eagles game started, there was no mention of Taylor or Travis by the announcers ... nor was there any cut-away shot to them from the camera crew.

There have also been zero credible reports from NFL journos (or otherwise) of them being in the building, and it goes without saying ... not one photo of them at the stadium has surfaced on social media either. What that means in layman's terms ... they ain't there, folks!

It's quite surprising -- but for those who've been paying attention, perhaps not. Fact is, while the NFL almost certainly loves a Taylor appearance (it's a ratings boom) the backlash to all the focus on her during games has been immense ... and football fans are getting cranky.

In fact, this exact issue was lampooned on 'Saturday Night Live' just yesterday -- so, it's possible Tayvis are well aware of this perception ... and pulled an audible in the 11th hour.

They might be skipping the game, but ya gotta figure they'll get together with Jason and others in their inner circle afterward. But for the time being, they're letting JK have the spotlight on his own with his team. Basically, granting NFL purists their aggravated wish.

TAYLOR SWIFT SE SALTA EL PARTIDO EAGLES-JETS

Published | Updated

actualización

2:47 PM PT -- Resulta que Travis decidió colarse en el juego de su hermano después de todo, pero se presentó tarde y solo. Nada de Taylor por ninguna parte. El tight end de los Chiefs apareció en las gradas el domingo alrededor del 2º cuarto del partido con un chándal verde y gafas de sol.

Parecía relajado y bastante discreto hasta que sus fotos comenzaron a flotar en redes sociale. Como hemos dicho, Taylor no estába allí. Hoy, todo se trata de los hermanos.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce han engañado a todo el mundo. A pesar de hacer una aparición en NYC este fin de semana, no se encontraron en el partido de fútbol.

Hubo mucha especulación de que la pareja se mostraría en persona el domingo para ver el partido Jets/Eagles en el MetLife Stadium de Nueva Jersey, ya sabes, porque juega el hermano de Travis (Jason Kelce) además, la propia Taylor es una conocida fan de Filadelfia.

101423-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-kal-v2 10/14/23
poniendose serios

Luego de ver cómo ambos salieron de fiesta la noche anterior, con una cena romántica en Nobu, por no hablar de una importante aparición en "SNL" poco después. Todo parecía estar alineado para que estuvieran en primera fila viendo el saque inicial, pero la verdad es que eso nunca pasó

Una vez que el partido comenzó, no hubo mención a Taylor o Travis por los locutores. Tampoco hubo ningúna toma de ellos desde el equipo de cámara.

También ha habido cero informes creíbles de los periodistas de la NFL (o de otro tipo) de ellos en el edificio, y no hace falta decir que no ha aparecido ninguna foto de ellos en el estadio en redes sociales. Lo que significa en términos sencillos... ¡que no están allí!

Todo parece bastante inusual, pero para aquellos que han estado prestando atención a la relación, la verdad no es tan raro. El hecho es que, aunque a la NFL le encanta la aparición de Taylor (es un boom de audiencia), la reacción a toda la atención sobre ella durante los partidos ha sido inmensa, y los aficionados al fútbol se están poniendo de mal humor.

De hecho, este mismo tema fue ridiculizado en "Saturday Night Live" ayer mismo, por lo que es posible que la pareja sea consciente de esta percepción y haya hecho un cambio a última hora.

Puede que se salten el partido, pero podemos imaginar que se reunirán con Jason y otros en su círculo íntimo después. Por el momento, están dejando que JK tenga el centro de atención por su cuenta con su equipo. Básicamente, concediéndole a los puristas de la NFL su deseo.

¡todos a bordo!

Lo sentimos Swifties, mejor suerte la próxima semana.

Aaron Rodgers Walking Without Crutches 3 Weeks After Achilles Tear

Published
101323-aaron-rodgers-kal
UP AND AT 'EM

Here's a sight Jets fans are going to love ... Aaron Rodgers walking without crutches -- just three weeks after tearing his Achilles!!!

New York's "All-Access" team captured the images back on Oct. 1 ... when Rodgers was visiting his squad at MetLife Stadium as it prepared to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

The superstar quarterback -- wearing jeans, a T-shirt and athletic shoes -- strolled into the locker room without the aid of crutches ... and when one team official urged him to be careful on his surgically repaired leg, he told the guy to "chill out."

"Let me just do my thing, OK!?" the four-time MVP said while moving with a limp. "Just show 'em I can walk."

Rodgers then posted up near his locker -- joking with others in the area -- before he showed once again he could saunter around without crutches.

It's all a great scene for Gang Green ... as Rodgers has said he's actually hoping to make his return to the gridiron this season.

Of course, it takes most about a year to get officially healthy from Achilles tears ... but the QB told Pat McAfee days after he first injured the leg that he was hoping his doubters would fuel him into a quicker recovery time.

"Give me the timetables," he said to McAfee. "Give me all the things that you think can, should, or will happen because all I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration. That's all I need."

Despite Rodgers' positive appearance at the SNF game, the Jets went on to lose to the Chiefs ... although they rebounded just seven days later to beat the Broncos in Denver. They're currently 2-3 without AR8.

Aaron Rodgers Hey, Travis Kelce ... Let's Debate Covid-19 Vaccine!!!

Published

Aaron Rodgers wants to settle his back-and-forth with "Mr. Pfizer" once and for all ... proposing a star-studded Covid-19 debate with Travis Kelce -- and he wants Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Dr. Fauci to get involved!!

As we previously reported, AR8 and the Kansas City Chiefs superstar have been sending playful jabs toward each other over the past week ... ever since the New York Jets coined his new nickname for Kelce on "The Pat McAfee Show."

Rodgers returned for his weekly appearance with McAfee on Tuesday ... and he responded to Kelce claiming the two were in a "vax war."

"This ain't a war, homie," Rodgers told McAfee minutes ago. "This is just conversation. But if you want to have some sort of duel, debate, have me on the podcast, come on the show. Let's have a conversation."

100623-travis-kelce-mr-pfizer-kal 10/6/23
NO HARM DONE

The four-time MVP added he wants both sides to pick some backup help for the potential hash-out sesh ... revealing he wants RFK Jr. in his corner, and Kelce can choose Fauci or "some other pharmacrat" as his support.

Of course, a potential debate would surely be popcorn-worthy -- Rodgers and RFK Jr. have been outspoken against the Covid-19 vax, and Kelce and Fauci are strong proponents of getting the jab.

No word on whether Kelce will welcome Rodgers on his "New Heights" podcast ... but if he does, expect fireworks.

AARON RODGERS Hey, Travis Kelce ¡DEBATAMOS SOBRE LA VACUNA COVID-19!

Published | Updated

Aaron Rodgers quiere zanjar de una vez por todas su tira y afloja con el "Sr. Pfizer" proponiendo un debate estelar sobre la vacuna Covid-19 con Travis Kelce ¡y quiere que participen Robert F. Kennedy Jr. y el Dr. Fauci!

Como informamos anteriormente, AR8 y la superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs han estado enviándose mensajes el uno al otro durante la semana pasada, desde que los Jets de Nueva York acuñaran su nuevo apodo para Kelce en "The Pat McAfee Show".

Rodgers regresó para su aparición semanal con McAfee el martes y le respondió a Kelce afirmando que los dos estaban en una "guerra de vacunas".

"Esto no es una guerra, homie", dijo Rodgers a McAfee hace minutos. "Esto es solo una conversación. Pero si quieres tener algún tipo debate, recíbeme en el podcast o ven al programa. Tengamos una conversación".

100623-travis-kelce-mr-pfizer-kal 10/6/23
sin daños

El cuatro veces MVP agregó que quiere que ambas partes elijan alguna ayuda de respaldo para el potencial debate, revelando que quiere a RFK Jr. en su esquina y que Kelce puede elegir a Fauci o a algún otro "vacuna lover" como su apoyo.

Rodgers y RFK Jr. se han mostrado abiertamente en contra de la vacuna Covid-19 mientras que Kelce y Fauci son firmes defensores de la misma.

No se sabe si Kelce recibirá a Rodgers en su podcast "New Heights", pero si lo hace será todo un acotecimiento.

New York Jets Troll Sean Payton, Broncos ... After Win In Denver

Published

The New York Jets whooped the Broncos on Sunday and then danced all over their grave afterward ... taking every postgame opportunity to troll Sean Payton.

Gang Green was clearly livid with Denver's head coach after he made several comments about them this offseason ... and once the final whistle sounded on the 31-21 victory, the team let him have it.

The Jets' X account posted a photoshopped image of a stunned Kevin James -- who famously played Payton in the movie "Home Team" -- with the caption "when you lose to the 'offseason champs.'"

The dig, of course, is a shot at Payton ... who accused New York of "trying to win the offseason" earlier this summer.

NY's run at the 59-year-old play-caller didn't stop there, though ... 'cause they made sure to praise the hell out of Nathaniel Hackett -- the Jets' offensive coordinator who Payton said was part of "one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL" when he was the head man in Denver last season -- at every turn.

Several players and coaches lined up to shake his hand after the win, and he was even given the game ball too. Aaron Rodgers also made sure to tweet about him as well, writing, "W. #hackett #."

Sauce Gardner, meanwhile, rubbed even more salt in the wound by jabbing at Russell Wilson's "Broncos County, Let's Ride" slogan ... writing on X, "Jets Country.......LETS RIDE."

Yeah, and you thought your Monday blues were tough.

Travis Kelce Responds To Rodgers' 'Mr. Pfizer' Joke ... Stands By Getting Jab

Published | Updated
100623-travis-kelce-mr-pfizer-kal 10/6/23
NO HARM DONE

Travis Kelce is taking Aaron Rodgers' playful diss in stride ... admitting he thought it was actually funny when the Jets superstar referred to him as "Mr. Pfizer" earlier this week -- but doubling down on his decision to be a vaccine spokesperson.

Kelce addressed AR8's recent comments on the "Pat McAfee Show" with reporters on Friday ... cracking a few jokes of his own as he discussed the whole ordeal.

"I thought it was pretty good," Kelce said at the Chiefs' facility. "I mean, with the 'stache right now, I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer. Who knew I'd get into a vax war with Aaron Rodgers, man. Mr. Pfizer versus the Johnson & Johnson family over there."

Of course, Kelce is referring to Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company.

TK then got real for a second ... explaining his reason for getting the jab.

"I got it because of, you know, keeping myself safe, keeping my family safe, the people in this building. So yeah, I stand by 1000%. Fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer."

Kelce -- who celebrated his 34th birthday on Thursday -- was also asked about his recent romance with Taylor Swift and the hype around it ... and he knows he brought all the attention on himself.

"You got a lot of people that care about Taylor and for good reason," Kelce said. "Just gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments. At the end of the day, I've always been pretty good with compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building. I'll just keep rollin' with that."

Travis Kelce Responde a Rodgers por broma sobre 'Sr. Pfizer' Firme con la vacuna...

Published | Updated
100623-travis-kelce-mr-pfizer-kal 10/6/23
No hay problema...

Travis Kelce se tomó con calma la broma de Aaron Rodgers, admitiendo que le pareció muy divertido cuando la superestrella de los Jets se refirió a él como "Sr. Pfizer" a principios de esta semana, al mismo tiempo que reafirmó su decisión de ser portavoz de la vacuna.

Kelce abordó los recientes comentarios de AR8 en el "Pat McAfee Show" el viernes, haciendo algunas bromas mientras discutía sobre lo ocurrido.

"Me pareció muy bueno", dijo Kelce en las instalaciones de los Chiefs. "Quiero decir, con el bigote de ahora, me parezco a alguien que se llame Mr. Pfizer. Quién habría pensado que me iba a meter en una guerra de vacunas con Aaron Rodgers. El Sr. Pfizer contra la familia Johnson & Johnson".

Por supuesto, Kelce se refiere al propietario de los Jets, Woody Johnson, que es heredero de la compañía farmacéutica Johnson & Johnson.

Luego Travis se pone serio por un segundo y explica los motivos para tener la vacuna.

"La tengo porque ya sabes, me mantiene a salvo, a mi familia, a la gente en este edificio. Así que sí, la apoyo al 1000%. Totalmente de acuerdo con que me llame Mr. Pfizer".

A Kelce -que celebró su cumpleaños 34 el jueves- también se le preguntó por su reciente romance con Taylor Swift y todo el bombo alrededor de ella, y bueno, él está consciente de que atrajo toda la atención sobre sí mismo.

"Tienes a un montón de personas que se preocupan por Taylor y con justa razón", dijo Kelce. "Solo hay que seguir viviendo y aprendiendo y disfrutando de los momentos. Al final del día, siempre he sido bastante bueno para separar las cosas y he tenido la capacidad de mantener la concentración en este edificio. Voy a seguir así".

AARON RODGERS JUGUETÓN GOLPE A TRAVIS KELCE "Sr. Pfizer"

Published | Updated

Aaron Rodgers se burló de Travis Kelce por el anuncio de la vacuna COVID-19 que ha estado apareciendo en la TV, refiriéndose a la superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs como "Mr. Pfizer".

El mariscal de campo de los New York Jets hizo el comentario durante su aparición semanal en "The Pat McAfee Show" el martes cuando decidió divertirse un poco mientras analizaba el desempeño de su equipo en Sunday Night Football contra Patrick Mahomes y compañía.

"Creo que hay cierto sentimiento de que hay una especie de victoria moral, además de gente comentando que nuestra defensa jugó bien", dijo Rodgers. "Pat no tuvo un buen partido y al "Sr. Pfizer" lo contuvimos bastante. No tuvo un gran impacto en el partido".

McAfee no pudo evitar estallar en carcajadas con el nuevo nombre de "AR8" para Kelce y su coanfitrión (y excompañero de equipo de los Packers de Rodgers) A.J. Hawk sonrió y negó con la cabeza.

Rodgers continuó el resto de su recapitulación con una sonrisa en la cara, sabiendo que su broma le gustó a los chicos del programa.

Mientras que todo parecía marchar bien, Rodgers se ahogaba en la controversia sobre la vacuna COVID-19. Recordemos que en una ocasión dijo que estaba "inmunizado" cuando se le preguntó acerca de si recibió el pinchazo en agosto de 2021.

Rodgers afirmó más tarde que era alérgico a ciertos componentes de las vacunas Moderna y Pfizer y estaba listo para recibir la inyección de Johnson & Johnson antes de que fuera retirada por causar coágulos de sangre.

Rodgers ha sido marginado por un desgarro en el tendón de Aquiles, por lo que asumimos que está tan molesto como todos acerca del comercial de Kelce que aparece a cada rato en los medios tiempos de los partidos y en TV.

Y si pensabas que íbamos a pasar todo un post sobre Kelce sin mencionarla... ¡sorpresa!

Taylor Swift.

Aaron Rodgers Playful Jab At Travis Kelce ... 'Mr. Pfizer'

Published | Updated

Shots fired.

Aaron Rodgers took a playful jab at Travis Kelce over his COVID-19 vaccine commercial that's been popping up on everyone's TVs ... referring to the Kansas City Chiefs superstar as "Mr. Pfizer."

The New York Jets quarterback made the wisecrack during his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday ... when he decided to have some fun while analyzing his team's performance on Sunday Night Football against Patrick Mahomes and co.

"I think there's some sentiment that there's some sort of moral victory out there that we hung with the champs and that our defense played well," Rodgers said. "Pat didn't have a crazy game and Mr. Pfizer, we kind of shut him down a little bit. He didn't have a crazy impact game."

McAfee couldn't help but burst out in laughter over AR8's new name for Kelce ... and his cohost (and Rodgers' former Packers teammate) A.J. Hawk grinned and shook his head.

Rodgers continued the rest of his recap with a smile on his face ... knowing his joke landed with the guys on the show.

While it all appeared to be in good fun, Rodgers was drowning in controversy over the COVID-19 vaccine -- remember, he infamously said he was "immunized" when asked about whether he got the jab in August 2021.

Rodgers later claimed he was allergic to parts of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines ... and was set to get the Johnson & Johnson shot before it was pulled for causing blood clots.

Rodgers has been sidelined with a torn Achilles since he went down in Week 1 ... so we're assuming he's just as annoyed as the regular folk are about the commercial popping up every media time-out.

And if you thought we were going to go a whole post about Kelce without mentioning her ... think again.

Taylor Swift.

TAYLOR SWIFT SEGUNDA VISITA DE TRAVIS acompañada de celebridades

Published | Updated

actualización

5:26 PM PT -- Taylor Swift acaba de ser presentada oficialmente para comenzar la transmisión y todo parece marchar bien mientras abraza y besa a amigos y se codea con celebridades.

No hay rastro de Donna Kelce todavía, pero es casi seguro que ella también es parte de la ecuación.

La NBC está totalmente inclinada hacia la Taylor-manía. Hicieron toda una introducción con Carson Daly recapitulando el frenesí viral haciendo un montón de referencias a canciones de Swift. Por último, pero no menos importante, Aaron Rodgers también está en la casa, esto solo unas semanas después de desgarrarse el tendón de Aquiles y someterse a cirugía. El hombre está aquí para animar a su equipo.

¡Hora del juego!

El romance entre Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce es serio. Tanto así que ella apareció en otro estadio de fútbol para animarlo y esta vez con algunos amigos famosos acompañándola.

La estrella de pop fue de nuevo la invitada de honor el domingo durante la transmisión de la NBC 'SNF' del partido Chiefs vs. Jets, en el que su rumoreado novio juega. Taylor apareció y se deslizó a través de una zona trasera pero fue capturada por la cámara entrando en el edificio.

Esta vez, TayTay cuenta con la compañía de algunas celebs, incluyendo a Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds y Hugh Jackman, entre otros. Se espera que esté en una suite de lujo cerca del campo y se rumorea que estará acompañada por la madre de Travis, Donna Kelce, como la semana pasada.

En cuanto a la comitiva de Taylor, Blake tiene sentido ya que son mejores amigas y estaban juintas ayer en la Gran Manzana, por no hablar de una cena estelar junto a algunas otras damas famosas como Sophie Turner e incluso la esposa de Patrick Mahomes, Brittany.

Hugh tiene sus razones para estar ahí también, porque son muy buenos amigos con el marido de Blake. Ámbos están trabajando en la nueva entrega de "Deadpool" la cual se estrenará el próximo año.

En fin, la aparición de Taylor no fue una sorpresa, escuchamos toda la semana que ella estaría ahí. Hubo mensajes y pistas todo el tiempo.

Veremos cuánto mostrarán a Taylor a lo largo de la emisión. FOX se centró principalmente en el juego de la semana pasada pero viendo lo mucho que subió el rating con su sola presencia, podemos imaginar que NBC la va a mostrar menos un par de veces hoy.

Si esta noche resulta ser tan agitada como la de la semana pasada, se endrán muchas noticias. Travis y Taylor eran todo lo que nadie se esperaba y ahora que están mostrando mucha evidencia de su relación en público.

Algunos podrían haber pensado que todo esto era mentira, pero es más real día a día. Hubo informes de que Travis incluso pasó por el apartamento de Taylor en New York antes del partido así que sí, él ha estado con ella de manera más íntima... al menos todas las pistas apuntan a eso.

Con Swifties y fans del fútbol pendientes a cada segundo, esto parece ser el clásico caso de cuando dos mundos chocan.

Taylor Swift Second In-Game Visit for Travis ... Rolling Deep w/ Celebs

Published | Updated

Update

5:26 PM PT -- Taylor Swift was just officially introduced to start the broadcast, and it looks like her box is completely packed -- as she hugs and kisses friends, and hob-nobs with celebs.

No sign of Donna Kelce just yet, but she's almost certainly in the mix as well.

And yes, NBC is fully leaning in to Taylor-mania -- they just did this whole Carson Daly intro recapping the viral frenzy ... and they made a lot of Swift-y song references along the way. Last but not least ... Aaron Rodgers is also in the house -- this just a few weeks after tearing his Achilles and undergoing surgery. The dude is here to root on his underdog team.

It's game time!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance is going strong -- so much so that she popped into another football stadium to cheer him on ... this time with some famous pals in tow.

The pop star is again the guest of honor Sunday during NBC's 'SNF' broadcast of the Chiefs vs. Jets game -- in which her rumored tight end BF is obviously playing. Taylor showed up and slipped in through a back area, but got caught on camera entering the building.

This time around, TayTay had some A-list company ... including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, among others. She's expected to be in a luxury suite near the field, and word is ... she'll be joined by Travis's mom, Donna Kelce -- like last week.

As for TS's entourage -- Blake makes sense ... they're best buds, and they were just out and about yesterday together in the Big Apple -- not to mention a starry dinner alongside some other famous ladies, like Sophie Turner and even Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany.

Hugh's not all that random either -- he's good friends with Blake's hubby, and they're in this new obscure movie that's coming out next year -- something called 'Deadpool 3,' apparently.

Anyway ... Taylor's appearance is no surprise -- we'd been hearing all week that she'd be here, and they were telegraphing as much by being within a stone's throw of each other earlier this weekend.

We'll see how much of Taylor gets shown throughout the broadcast. FOX kept it mostly focused on the game last week -- but seeing how much of a rating bonanza her mere presence turned out to be ... ya gotta figure NBC will cut to her at least a few times today.

If today/tonight turns out to be as eventful as last week's Kansas City outing ... we're in for a whole lot of news. Travis and Taylor were all anyone talked about -- and now that they're showing PDA in public, it's safe to assume we might see even more of it in the near future.

Some might've thought this was all BS at first, but it's sure looking more real by the day. There were reports that Travis even swung by Taylor's NYC apartment before the game -- so yeah, he's been in her quarters now ... and all signs point to this being an intimate thing.

With Swifties and NFL'ers all flocking for the show ... it's a classic case of worlds colliding.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Surface on East Coast Separately ... Ahead of Chiefs Game

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce seemed primed to run their Kansas City date back for round 2 -- 'cause they're in the same area ahead of a big game ... which she's supposed to attend.

The pop star and NFL'er surfaced separately on the East Coast Saturday -- with TS popping up in the Big Apple alongside Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ... with the trio walking through the streets of NYC looking stylish.

Just over the bridge ... Travis and some other Chiefs players, including Patrick Mahomes, were checking into their hotel in New Jersey -- which is where they'll play Sunday's game.

As we reported ... Taylor is expected to show up to MetLife Stadium to once again watch TK's big match against the Jets -- a game that'll be televised on NBC during Sunday Night Football, and which will undoubtedly garner more eyeballs than last week did.

Considering she's in town ... it's all but guaranteed we'll be watching her root from the sidelines. The question now is -- will Taylor's in-game visits become a regular thing???

We know she and Trav hit the town in KC last week ... and their gallivanting caused quite a stir in the city. In this neck of the woods, though -- that'll be amplified by at least 10 ... with tons of paparazzi crawling all over the place, not to mention adoring fans left and right.

If this does, in fact, become a tradition as these 2 explore their relationship ... you also gotta wonder if we'll see added PDA as time goes on. We already saw them cozying up during an after-party -- and now that the cat's outta the bag, perhaps more is on the horizon.

There's been some speculation this all might be a PR stunt -- but now ... it feels real.

Remember, we were told Taylor's team is still working out security logistics for MetLife ... meaning, she won't be able to just slip in all casual-like the way she did last week.

With all this in mind, it probably goes without saying -- if we happen see Taylor and Travis out and about at all this weekend ... it'll undoubtedly be another frenzy and then some.

Taylor Swift Empire State Building se ilumina de rojo y blanco ... Por la moda del ketchup y aparentemente "rancho"

Published | Updated

Incluso el Empire State Building quiere estar tan iluminado como Taylor Swift, por lo que sus icónicas luces fueron sombreadas para rendirle homenaje, no por su música, sino que por su elección de condimentos.

Sí, el famoso rascacielos de Nueva York descaradamente se subió a la moda del "ketchup y aparentemente rancho" el miércoles por la noche e iluminó sus luces en la punta de rojo y blanco, como culminación a un frenesí salvaje que comenzó hace 4 días en Kansas City.

Sigan leyendo porque esto es un poco loco. El domingo en el juego de los Chiefs, Taylor se tomó una foto con una fan junto a un plato que tenía un pollo y dos cucharadas de salsa de tomate y, al parecer "rancho".

Luego que la foto fuera compartida en la cuenta de fans de Taylor, recibió 32 millones de visitas y se creó un nuevo meme que se volvió tan popular que la gente del Empire State Building tuvo que entrar en acción. Por cierto, Heinz también aprovechó el momento.

Eso sí, el rojo y el blanco también son los colores de los Chiefs de Travis Kelce, el mejor amigo de Taylor, que vienen a Nueva York este fin de semana para jugar contra los Jets de Nueva York. Sí, se espera que Taylor también asista, y sin embargo, la ciudad natal de los Jets, y el Empire State Building no pudieron resistirse.

Ese es el poder de Taylor Swift en 2023. Cómete a los Beatles.
