Super Bowl

A Travis Kelce le pidieron que terminara una de las letras de Taylor Swift, de cara al Super Bowl y pareciera que no se la sabía muy bien, lo cual es interesante.

El jugador de los Chiefs estuvo hablando con los medios el jueves en Las Vegas, donde le preguntaron mucho sobre su novia, incluyendo una pregunta que lo comparó a él y a Tay Tay con la versión americana de los Royals. Sí, sin duda una gran adulación.

Luego, la misma periodista le preguntó por qué cree que la gente está tan fascinada con ellos como pareja y Travis respondió que la gente ama los "valores" que ellos representan, etc. Respuesta legítima y probablemente cierta, pero ¿sabes qué más les encanta? Las letras de Taylor y ahí es donde este intercambio se puso interesante.

El reportero le pidió a Trav que completara una línea de una canción MUY conocida de Taylor "Karma", que cualquier fan podría recitar.

Y, sin embargo, Travis parecía torpe, mientras se reía y le pedía a la reportera que pasaran a la siguiente pregunta.

La letra en cuestión es: "Karma is the guy on the screen // Coming straight home to me".

El reportero le dijo: "Karma is the guy on the".... y Travis añadió con confianza, "Chiefs", un guiño al cambio de letra que hizo Taylor durante su concierto en Argentina el año pasado y que el jugador de los Kansas City presenció desde la multitud.

No está claro si se da cuenta de que esa no es la letra original. Por cierto, tampoco fue capaz de terminar el resto de la letra.

Travis Kelce got asked to finish a Taylor Swift lyric this week ahead of the Super Bowl -- and it sounds like he might not have known it off the top ... which is interesting.

The Chiefs tight end was talking to media members Thursday in Vegas, and yes -- he was getting asked about his girlfriend a lot, including a question from one journo who compared him and Tay Tay to the American version of the Royals. Yep, major sucking up, no doubt.

She then asked why he thinks people are so fascinated with them as a couple -- and he said people love the "values" they stand for, etc. Legit answer, and probably true ... but ya know what else they love? Taylor's lyrics, and that's where this exchange got interesting.

The reporter asked Trav to complete a line from a VERY well-known Taylor song, "Karma," and she lobbed up the lyric even a mild Taylor fan could recite.

And yet ... TK appeared to fumble on the play, as he chuckled and asked the reporter to jump to her next question.

The actual lyric in question is, "Karma is the guy on the screen // Coming straight home to me."

The reporter gave him, "Karma is the guy on the" ... and Travis confidently added, "Chiefs" -- a nod to the lyric change Taylor made while he was in the crowd for one of her Argentina shows last year.

It's unclear if he realizes that's not the OG lyric. BTW, he wasn't able to finish the rest of the lyric either.

Jason Kelce is ready to follow in his lil' bro Travis' footsteps ... telling TMZ Sports if "Saturday Night Live" wants to make him a host, he's giving an emphatic HELL YEAH!!

The elder Kelce bro is no stranger to Studio 8H -- he famously made a cameo appearance during Travis' debut back in March 2023, even lending his talents during a skit.

So when we caught up with the Philadelphia Eagles great out in Las Vegas during Super Bowl week, we asked if he'd ever want to get his own shot at headlining the sketch comedy show ... and the dude couldn't be more on board.

"Of course, I love 'SNL,'" 36-year-old Jason said. "It's one of the shows I grew up watching, an iconic show of great proportions and hilarity. Yeah, I would obviously do it."

"I was fortunate to watch Travis do it last year and really see what all goes into it. I came away beyond impressed with all the people involved in making that show work and all the talent that was there."

The billing would make a ton of sense -- the Kelces are household names (partially thanks to the Taylor Swift effect and shirtless antics on gameday) and are some of the most charismatic players in the NFL.

We reached out to our 'SNL' sources ... and they couldn't say enough good things about Jason, and would love to have him back in some capacity in the future.

In fact, we're told that could even mean giving him the hosting gig ... which is something he wouldn't take lightly.

"It would be beyond an honor to participate in something like that, for sure," Jason added.

Tech N9ne's not worried about his bank account ... 'cause he just tossed up a small fortune to show appreciation to a few exotic dancers for their moves.

All eyes were on the rapper at the pre-Super Bowl party he hosted in Las Vegas Thursday night at Crazy Horse 3 -- a very popular strip club just across the street from Allegiant Stadium.

Sources tell us ... T9 made a fashionably late entrance, pulling up to the club at around 2 AM early Friday morning -- and he quickly made up for lost time, walking onstage with an absolute bag and chucking bills up in the air as the ladies danced to his song "Hood Go Crazy."

It didn't take long for the entertainers to realize where the money was at ... and soon we're told 11 dancers were all shakin' their asses near Tech.

Apparently, N9ne was loving the attention so much, we're told he had a member of his entourage running to bring him more ones -- which Tech threw in the air for the next 15 minutes.

All told, our sources say Tech unloaded $25,000 ... a pretty nice payday for the ladies working the club last night who we're told took nearly half an hour to count and divide all the catapulted cash.

We broke the story ... Tech coordinated with the club to turn the venue into a money snowglobe -- a deal that included about $20,000 in singles to throw as well as 10 magnum bottles of 10 tequila with 5 bottles of Clase Azul and 5 bottles of Don Julio 1942.

BTW while this was a particularly big day for the entertainers ... our sources say they've been absolutely raking in the dough recently with so many tourists in town for the big game.

Tech's a Chiefs fan -- with a popular KC anthem to boot -- and he seems to have bucks to burn, so we'll see if he shows up to the Super Bowl at Allegiant on Sunday. Lord knows, those tickets are pricey.

Ben Affleck está recibiendo su última alegría de parte de su querida Dunkin' Donuts, esto, después de los cientos de memes que se ríen de él por promocionar tanto la marca.

Resulta que el ganador del Oscar se embolsó 10 millones de dólares por el anuncio que hizo para el Super Bowl del año pasado, según CNN. Recuerden que Ben apareció como un trabajador de Dunkin en un clip de 30 segundos que benefició mucho a la marca.

Al parecer, la empresa vendió más donuts al día siguiente del Super Bowl que en cualquier otro día de su historia. Aprovechando ese gran éxito, Ben firmó como portavoz oficial y aparecerá en otro comercial para ellos durante el Super Bowl de este año.

Pero Ben no es el único que ha hecho mucho dinero en el Super Domingo. Larry David también se enganchó $10M por su ahora controvertido anuncio para FTX y CNN dice que al menos otras dos celebridades de la lista A están ganando $5M este año por aparecer en cámara durante menos de 20 segundos en los anuncios.

Hay que tener en cuenta que las empresas también desembolsan 7 millones de dólares por emitir un anuncio de 30 segundos.

En cuanto al nuevo anuncio de Ben, los publicistas de Dunkin han hecho que este se ría de sí mismo por sus "miserables" expresiones en los Grammy del año pasado.

Ben Affleck's definitely getting the last laugh over his undying love of Dunkin' ... after thousands of memes mocked him for reppin' the coffee and donut shop so hard.

Turns out the Oscar winner raked in a staggering $10 MILLION for his Super Bowl commercial last year, according to CNN. Remember, Ben appeared as a Dunkin' drive-thru worker in the 30-second clip, and his star power was a major treat for Dunkin'.

The company reportedly sold more donuts the day after the Super Bowl than any other day in its history. Capitalizing on that smash hit, Ben then signed on as an official spokesperson -- and will appear in another commercial for them during this year's SB.

But, it ain't just Ben who made major bucks on Super Sunday -- Larry David also snagged $10M for his now-controversial FTX ad ... and CNN says at least 2 other A-list celebs are making $5M this year for appearing on-camera for less than 20 seconds in ads.

Keep in mind, companies are also dropping $7M just to air a 30-second spot!

As for Ben's new SB spot ... Dunkin's ad men have him trollin' himself for his "miserable" expression at last year’s Grammys.

Too Short is living up to his lyrical billing by throwing dollar bills at Vegas exotic dancers, and covering the floor with greenbacks ... all while his strip club anthems are blaring.

The "Money On The Floor" rapper hit up Crazy Horse 3 in Las Vegas Wednesday night into Thursday morning, rolling up with a crew of 20 people, including fellow rappers Tech N9ne and X-Raided ... and if ya thought it was raining hard in L.A., ya gotta see what went down on The Strip.

Our strip club sources -- yep, we got those too -- tell us Short requested a table in the VIP section right next to the main stage and, naturally, he was immediately swarmed by more than 30 strippers. As they say, game recognize game!

His crew ordered 2 magnum bottles of Don Julio 1942 Tequila, nothing but top shelf, and they threw $15,000 in singles ... and as you can see, the club brought him the first $5k in singles in a lighted-briefcase as Short had 2 strippers on his lap.

Naturally, Too Short took the greenbacks up to the main stage and started throwing money everywhere ... spreading it over a dancer's back as she twerked in front of him. Textbook move.

The most baller part ... Too Short's "Money On The Floor" is playing while he drops fat stacks on, and above, the stage where a dancer's flashing her pole skills to his jam.

Crazy Horse 3 seems like the place to be leading up to Super Bowl LVIII, which will be played just across the street at Allegiant Stadium.

Tech N9ne was back Thursday night to host and rain $20K on the performers. While several NFL players were expected, too -- it's a safe bet they were NOT the centers of attention.

Even though 49ers wideout Ray-Ray McCloud has deep roots in the music industry, he won't try to rub elbows with Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl ... telling TMZ Sports, "This is football."

Many have wondered if the receiver would attempt to get in TayTay's ear at some point at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday ... because, after all, the guy's a musician who just recently became the CEO of entertainment agency Legend Tribe Entertainment.

But, he said out in Vegas this week there's no chance he fraternizes with Travis Kelce's girlfriend at the Big Game ... saying flat-out, "Hell nah!"

"I'm a big fan of greatness," he told us. "She's great at what she do. She big time. But, hey, this is football. We don't care about no album coming out. We don't care about none of that."

"Congrats to her on the Grammy thing she did, but we don't care about none of that, man."

Instead, Ray-Ray says he's locked in on the game ... although he did at least tell us he'd try to have some kind of ear on Usher's halftime show.

While the 27-year-old will absolutely not sneak out of the locker room to catch it -- "I'm trying to get a ring first," he said -- he told us he hoped the "Let It Burn" crooner would play "Superstar" and "Confessions" during the performance.

Before this handsome fella lookin' spiffy in his suit turned into a Super Bowl champion, he was just a little New Yorker -- who came from a family of athletes -- playing hockey, basketball, baseball and of course FOOTBALL!

Being one of the greatest tight-ends of all time helped lead his team to Super Bowl wins in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021. He may not have played for the Chiefs or the 49ers, but now being an NFL analyst ... he's had plenty to say about this year's Super Bowl.

Need on more clue ... just ask his quarterback BFF TB!

Antes de que este joven con traje se convirtiera en campeón del Super Bowl, no era más que un pequeño neoyorquino de familia de atletas que jugaba al hockey, al baloncesto, al béisbol y por supuesto, ¡al FÚTBOL!

Ser uno de los mejores tight-ends de todos los tiempos ayudó a llevar a su equipo a ganar el Super Bowl en 2015, 2017, 2019 y 2021. Puede que no haya jugado para los Chiefs o los 49ers, pero ahora siendo analista de la NFL ha tenido mucho que decir sobre el Super Bowl de este año.

Si necesitas más pistas... ¡Pregúntale a su mejor amigo que es quarterback!

Kaskade will be in the DJ booth when Super Bowl LVIII kicks off on Sunday ... stepping in at the last minute to replace Tiësto, who backed out of the gig due to a sudden family emergency.

As we previously reported, the "Godfather of EDM" was originally set to spin tracks throughout the entire game ... but was forced to return home hours before the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers take the field.

TMZ Sports has learned ... Kaskade is taking the reins from Tiësto -- making him the league's first-ever in-game DJ in the history of the Super Bowl.

Kaskade spoke about the news on Thursday ... saying, "As a kid who grew up in Chicago watching the Super Bowl every year with my family this chance to actually be part of it is absolutely mind-blowing."

Moving forward with Kaskade is a no-brainer -- he's one of the biggest names in the industry ... and has had residencies at pretty much every big venue in Sin City, most recently at Zouk nightclub at Resorts World.

"Las Vegas has been my second home for the past decade, as an architect of creating a landscape that includes House and Dance Music residencies as part of its destination," Kaskade continued.

International star Tiësto just announced he will not be performing at Super Bowl LVIII after all ... saying he will miss the big game due to a "personal family emergency."

The "Godfather of EDM" shared the update with his fans on Thursday ... just days before he was slated to hit the 1s and 2s for the 49ers vs. Chiefs matchup at Allegiant Stadium.

"Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning," Tiësto said via the X app.

"It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first."

This would've been the first time the NFL had an in-game DJ for the Super Bowl ... and Tiësto -- who sold more than 36 million albums -- was honored to take on the role.

"Thank you to the @NFL for the collaboration," the 55-year-old DJ said ... adding he still plans to work with the league on something "incredible" at a later date.

La estrella internacional Tiësto acaba de anunciar que no actuará en el Super Bowl LVIII, debido a una "emergencia familiar personal".

El "Padrino de EDM" compartió la actualización con sus fans el jueves, apenas unos días antes de su aparición para el encuentro entre los 49ers y los Chiefs en el Allegiant Stadium.

"Yo y mi equipo hemos estado preparando algo realmente especial durante meses, pero una emergencia familiar personal me obliga a volver a casa el domingo por la mañana", dijo Tiësto a través de la aplicación X.

"Ha sido una decisión difícil perderme el partido, pero la familia siempre es lo primero".

Esta habría sido la primera vez que la NFL tenía a un DJ en el juego para el Super Bowl, y Tiësto, que vendió más de 36 millones de álbumes, tuvo el honor de asumir el papel.

"Gracias a la @NFL por la colaboración", dijo el DJ de 55 años, agregando que todavía planea trabajar con la liga en algo "increíble" para una fecha posterior.

The Raiders took time to thank the men and women keeping Vegas safe this Super Bowl week, swinging by LVMPD HQ to chill, and they even hooked up a volunteer worker with tix to the big game!

LB Divine Deablo and DT Matthew Butler pulled up to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department station, along with team president Sandra Douglass Morgan, a gang of cheerleaders, and even the Raiders mascot ... to take photos and speak to the staff. They also brought some grub!

TMZ Sports is told everyone had an awesome time ... but none better than a volunteer named Renee Sorensen, who has given up thousands of hours of her time without pay, simply to help her community.

The Raiders contingency wanted to say thank you, so they hooked Renee up with SB 58 tix, one of the hottest tix in the world.

Of course, tix to the Super Bowl are going for thousands of dollars each ... but Sorensen won't have to pay a dime.

It was a nice break for police officers ... who are now in the midst of one of the busiest times of the year, as hundreds of thousands of fans descend on Sin City for the game and all the festivities.

El primer Super Bowl en Las Vegas va a rendirle homenaje a la ciudad de una manera que realmente grita "Las Vegas"... o canta, más bien, porque habrá un homenaje al gran Frank Sinatra.

Fuentes directas le dicen a TMZ que habrá varios homenajes destacados durante todo el Super Bowl LVIII, con la famosa interpretación de Sinatra de la melodía escrita por Paul Anka siendo el número principal del evento de apertura.

Según nos han dicho, se trata de un momento de alegría para Las Vegas, y qué mejor manera de rendir homenaje a esta ciudad que con una canción que la define a la perfección. Y sí, la versión de Frank de "My Way" es la más conocida, así que empezarán con ella.

De todos modos, nos dicen que la transmisión del Super Bowl y CBS mostrarán tomas de los jugadores como Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes y Christian McCaffrey.

A partir de ahí, nuestras fuentes dicen que CBS hará la transición a las entrevistas con las familias de los jugadores, hablando de sus padres, hijos, esposos y hermanos... todo subrayado por una nueva mezcla de "My Way".

Sabemos lo que la nueva mezcla de "My Way" implica que va a haber una orquesta en vivo, con Sinatra cantando en las grandes pantallas dentro y fuera de The Sphere, el nuevo lugar de conciertos del The Strip.

Por cierto, el mismísimo Usher también cantará "My Way" durante su actuación en el medio tiempo y nos han dicho que será impactante. Así que sí, parece que el tema "My Way" estará presente durante todo el partido, de principio a fin.

En pocas palabras, es una punta del sombrero a Fabulous Las Vegas, y CBS / la NFL se inclinan todo el camino en él.

Los Chiefs de Kansas City y los 49ers de San Francisco están listos para jugar el Super Bowl este fin de semana, e incluso sus fiestas posteriores ya están organizadas... TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que cada equipo ha elegido sus lugares después del partido para sus posibles celebraciones el domingo, aunque solo uno de ellos será quien celebre.

Vamos a empezar con los 49ers. Nos dicen que los chicos de la Bahía están programados para llegar al OMNIA Nightclub -uno de los clubes nocturnos más calientes en la ciudad del pecado- que se encuentra dentro del Caesars Palace, justo en el centro de Las Vegas Strip.

Nos dicen que Kansas City tiene otro lugar de lujo reservado, el Zouk Nightclub, ubicado dentro de Resorts World, un hotel relativamente nuevo en la escena de la Ciudad del Pecado.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Kansas City incluso tiene su música lista, porque nos dicen que The Chainsmokers tocará canciones para los Chiefs después del Super Bowl y tal vez K.C. pueda convencer a Taylor Swift para que acompañe al grupo si asiste al partido del campeonato.

Patrick Mahomes tiene una larga relación con The Chainsmokers, que consiste en Alex Pall y Drew Taggart, yendo de fiesta con ellos después de su victoria en el Super Bowl del año pasado, así que probablemente, no costó demasiado convencer al dúo ganador del Grammy.

Estas fiestas repletas de estrellas son el sueño de cualquier fanático del fútbol, pero mantengan la calma, porque no será fácil colarse en cualquiera de estos eventos, porque las fuentes nos dicen que la presencia policial va a ser pesada.

La Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas y agentes del FBI se posicionarán en los eventos exclusivos, limitado a los jugadores, sus familias y ejecutivos a la oficina delantera, por lo que tomar un trago con Travis Kelce o Christian McCaffrey no será posible para los fanáticos.

Por más que ambos equipos tienen sus lugares de fiesta asegurados, solo un equipo va a celebrar esa noche... normalmente los perdedores se van directamente a casa.
