Traylor

Taylor Swift has been a fixture at a bunch of Travis Kelce's games this season, but that's not gonna happen this weekend ... cuz her multibillion-dollar tour is about to start back up.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Taylor won't be making the trip to Denver Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs take on Russell Wilson and the Broncos because she's gotta get back into tour mode.

Taylor's first show back from hiatus is slated for November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina -- so you gotta imagine there will be some serious rehearsals and meetings before then.

Taylor's been on a 3-month break from her 'Eras' tour -- closing out the first leg of U.S. shows with 6 nights at SoFi Stadium back in August -- but she'll now be touring off and on for the next year internationally with dates in Brazil, Japan, Sweden, Australia, Canada, France, Italy and a whole bunch more.

As we reported, she's also just hit billionaire status -- Forbes says she's worth $1.1 billion thanks to the "Eras" tour -- and credits her for being one of the only artists to hit the milestone solely off touring and recording sales.

Of course, she's likely made the NFL a bunch of money this season in new viewership and jersey sales ... attending a bunch of her boyfriend Travis' games and cheering him on from a private suite with friends from Sophie Turner to Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany.

Travis Kelce knows he's doing the right thing in dating Taylor Swift ... and it's all thanks to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid giving his stamp of approval on the relationship.

Big Red gave a glowing review of the pop superstar following the Chiefs' big win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday ... saying "Taylor can stay around all she wants" as Kelce continues to ball out every time she attends his games.

Travis addressed Reid's comments on his "New Heights" podcast with his brother Jason on Wednesday ... saying the coach's endorsement is a good sign.

"I love Coach Reid, man," Taylor's boo said. "What a guy. Listen, when you’re getting Big Red’s approval and blessings, you know you’re doing something right."

Of course, Jason noted Travis' stats see a huge spike whenever T. Swift comes around ... saying he averages nearly 100 yards a game when she's present, and just 46.5 when she skips.

Kelce laughed it all off ... saying there's no way he couldn't know about Taylor's impact on his game -- considering everyone's talking about it on social media.

Jason Kelce clearly thinks Travis Kelce is getting smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying Sunday night his brother sure seems "excited" and "genuine" about the relationship.

The Eagles star told Peter King following the Eagles' win over the Dolphins in Philadelphia, however, that he is at least a little concerned about the level of attention the two new lovebirds are getting.

"On one hand, I'm happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he's excited about, that he is genuine about," Jason said. "But there's another end of it where it's like, 'Man, this is a lot.'"

Jason -- who added that he's "really, really happy" for his brother's "current situation" -- appeared to be particularly worried about the paps who have been following the duo's every move since they went public with their relationship in Kansas City last month.

"There's paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I'm like, 'Is that really necessary information to share?'" Jason said. "This is another level of stardom that typically football players don't deal with."

Jason, though, seemed to believe his brother could handle it all ... as long as the safety of his friends and family isn't threatened.

Taylor Swift planted one on Travis Kelce this weekend -- the first time we've seen her pucker up to her boyfriend in public ... though it's still very PG-13.

The singer was photographed after the game Sunday next to her man, posing with Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and his girlfriend, Chariah Gordon. In one of the shots, you can see TayTay kissing Travis on the cheek, with her hand on his chest.

Like we said, this marks the debut of any kind of affection at this level -- thus far, we've only seen them hold hands in public ... so, it would seem their PDA is growing by the day.

TBH, this is a side of Taylor we haven't really seen until now. Before getting with Travis, she's tended to be quite private and away from the spotlight as it relates to her significant others ... particularly while she was dating Joe Alwyn. They were practically in the shadows.

Now, however, Taylor seems to be embracing the public nature of this relationship ... and she's loving it. Not only have we seen her express herself at games full throttle, but even when it comes to stuff like this -- it doesn't seem like she and Trav are all that shy.

As for TK ... he, too, seems ready for all the scrutiny -- something that undoubtedly comes with the territory of what he does professionally. If anything, this attention is nothing new.

Gotta say, the more we see of these two ... the more it feels like they could have real legs as a couple. Their lives are certainly blending at a fast rate -- and the people are all about it.

Taylor Swift's special handshake with new BFF Brittany Mahomes went viral during Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs game ... but social media users were split on how they felt about it.

The pop star showed up in her now usual suite to cheer on her boyfriend and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as his team destroyed the Los Angeles Chargers 31-17 at Arrowhead Stadium in K.C.

Of course, Brittany was right there beside Taylor to support her hubby, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

After Travis and Patrick joined forces to score a second quarter TD, Taylor and Brittany went totally nuts, putting their celebratory handshake on display for the world to see.

Video of the handshake made the rounds on social media -- prompting mixed reactions from the masses.

Some X users thought it was embarrassing, writing, "This is cringe af" or "This is more cringe for me."

Other people accused Taylor and Brittany of practicing the handshake before the game just to garner publicity.

One of them posted, "now this is publicity stunt who practices a handshake she literally just started going to games and chillin with the chiefs lol this wack."

Another X user bluntly stated, "Worst thing ever to happen to the NFL."

On the other hand, many people were loving the handshake and the close friendship that has sprouted between Taylor and Brittany.

Here's a sampling of the positive reactions from X users: "She's (Taylor's) I can't." "I'm so happy Taylor is gaining new friends." "Bestie already has handshake figured out with her new bestie." "Ok, they're besties." "It's peak girlhood I love it so much."

We'll just have to wait and see what the BFFs come up with next week.

As soon as Travis Kelce's hands got done catching footballs on the field Sunday, they apparently went straight to taking care of Taylor Swift's hands off of it!!!

Check out this photo of the two lovebirds leaving Arrowhead Stadium following the Chiefs' big win over the Chargers ... the couple's hands couldn't have been more intertwined as they headed toward their postgame ride home.

It, of course, is not the first time the two have shown some PDA -- just last weekend, they were seen hand in hand while leaving dinner dates in New York City.

But, Sunday's display of love is yet another sign that the two are getting serious. She's now been to four of his games -- and at this one, she not only was super comfortable getting handsy with him after the contest, she was also seen mingling more than ever with the family of Patrick Mahomes, Kelce's best bud.

Swift was also spotted wearing a friendship bracelet on her wrist that featured Kelce's No. 87 and two hearts -- a clear sign she's really into the Kansas City star tight end.

You'd have to imagine this means Kelce will almost certainly be returning the favor when Swift goes on the international portion of her "Eras" tour shows ... which are set to begin next month and run all the way through 2024.

But, until then, she seems comfortable heading to K.C. every now and then to watch Kelce play -- something Chiefs fans will sure be happy about, considering they're now 4-0 with her in attendance!

2:36 PM PT -- CBS did, indeed, pan to Taylor during the game ... it just took a little while.

There were shots of her cheering on the Chiefs, not to mention her losing her s*** next to Brittany Mahomes -- with whom she seems to be good pals now. Check out the little celebratory handshake they get into after a big play on the field.

Like a couple school girl BFFs, really. How 'bout that?!?

Taylor Swift might just be Travis Kelce's good luck charm -- especially when his team's playing at home, which they are today ... and which TayTay is on hand for yet again.

The singer is in Arrowhead Stadium right now as the Chiefs play the Chargers, and like she has been these past few weeks ... Taylor's up in a private suite rooting for her man. She hasn't been explicitly shouted out in the CBS broadcast just yet -- but footage of her in the building is already surfacing.

One clip posted by the NFL shows her dancing around with Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany, and their baby ... and it looks like Pat's little brother, Jackson, is right behind them there.

Taylor's in Chiefs gear, per usual ... this marks her 3rd time coming to KC to see TK.

Going to Travis's games has become a bit of a tradition for Taylor now ... which just further confirms how serious she and the Chiefs tight end are becoming. She's already gone to a total of 4 of his games this season (this one included) and all signs point to her continuing.

Remember, it all started with TS swinging by back in late September -- which marked her initial appearance ... where she cozied up next to Travis' mom, Donna. Since then she's shown up in NJ for the Chiefs game against the Jets ... bringing along celeb pals.

Taylor skipped the following game in Minnesota -- but made sure to come out in person for last week's matchup against the Broncos ... where she was in Kansas City once more.

Seeing how she's out there again right now ... you could argue she's becoming a bit of a regular. And assuming the relationship goes on for much longer, locals can probably get used to seeing her more and more.

So far, it doesn't appear the announcers have made much mention of Taylor being in attendance today ... which could be reflective of some NFL fans groaning over that lately.

There's still a lot more football to go, though ... so we'll see if they name-drop her.

Want to dress like "Tayvis" for Halloween? You're in luck ... 'cause Travis Kelce himself just doled out tips on how to make the costume authentic!!

The topic got brought up at Kelce's media availability on Friday ... when a reporter made the Chiefs star aware that plenty of people across the U.S. are planning to dress as him and his new girlfriend, Taylor Swift, for the October holiday.

Kelce said his side of the getup must include a couple things in order to look just right.

"The mustache is slowly starting to disappear but I tell you what man, that 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic for a little bit," Kelce said, "and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time."

"So I guess my 'stache and then maybe ... maybe a bracelet or something, I don't know."

Kelce -- who signed a $57.25 million extension in June -- also spoke with media members about his surprise return to "Saturday Night Live" last week in New York City ... and he explained his funny part in the Swift skit wasn't actually his idea.

"They asked me if I kinda wanted to end the skit that was about me and Taylor's takeover of the NFL games which was hilarious," he said.

"I loved every bit of it."

We're sure he's also loving how the Chiefs are currently on a five-game winning streak ... and are the favorites to make it six in a row against the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

Travis Kelce is leveling up his living situation big time -- and part of the reason has to do with Taylor Swift ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us the Chiefs tight end just bought a new home in Kansas City, with the sale closing Tuesday. We're told he snapped it up for just under $6 million ... and, yes, for that kinda dough in KC, he's getting a place that's way bigger and more secluded than his old house.

Our sources say this pad is in a gated community, and it's a straight-up mansion ... 6 bedrooms, 6 baths and over 16,000 square feet of living space!!!

It also screams luxury ... we're told there's a pool with a waterfall attached -- plus, a tennis and pickleball court, not to mention a mini golf course. Now, as far as why he upgraded ... our sources say there were a few things nagging him, including needing more privacy.

We're told at Travis's old house, it was simply far too accessible, and was starting to become a tourist attraction ... with people swinging by and staking out the place -- Travis was getting uncomfortable with the situation.

That actually proved to be an issue as recently as this past weekend ... when TayTay came to visit Trav in Kansas City, only to have paparazzi park outside waiting for any shots of the couple.

Bottom line, he wanted to be in a more secure spot -- and yes, our sources say him dating Taylor right now certainly factored into his decision.

And, we know what some Swifties might be thinking, but, no ... we're told he bought it with his own cash, and it's his alone.

Travis Kelce was shaking in his boots when Taylor Swift came face-to-face with his dad, Ed, during his Thursday Night Football matchup last week ... admitting he has no idea what the two talked about -- and he's concerned.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar addressed his pops' recent interaction with his new lady during his "New Heights" podcast with his brother, Jason, on Wednesday ... saying meeting his mom, Donna, is one thing -- but Ed is an entirely different animal.

"If you were watching the game, you saw something momentous happen -- which was Taylor Swift talking to Ed Kelce,'" the Eagles center said.

The two brothers joked about the pairing ... with Jason saying, "He shouldn't be talking to Taylor Swift."

"This is a terrifying conversation," Travis added. "I felt terrible for Taylor."

Jason explained the fear comes from the fact that their dad can be quite the wildcard ... and considering they didn't know what was said, the possibilities are endless.

"Talking to mom, alright that's gonna be fine. If you see dad talking to anyone and you can't hear what's happening, who knows where that conversation is going."

The guys were obviously joking ... with Travis making sure the listeners knew Ed is the "best f***ing dad in the world" -- and claiming that's where Jason gets his iconic storytelling skills.

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.

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.

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.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are on a roll, hitting the Big Apple two nights in a row ... and showing some major PDA!!

The world's most famous couple was filmed strolling out of the Waverly Inn restaurant in Manhattan's Greenwich Village Sunday evening.

Check it out ... Taylor and Travis couldn't contain their excitement for one another, grinning from ear to ear.

They were also very affectionate. At one point, Travis held Taylor's hand in both of his, placing one on top of hers and the other underneath.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end then put a gentle hand on the pop star's backside as they moved through a crowd of onlookers and paparazzi photogs.

No kissing was caught on camera ... but the lovebirds likely saved that for later behind closed doors judging from all available evidence.

As we reported ... Taylor and Travis came out of their cocoon Saturday to reveal to everyone on earth they are officially boyfriend/girlfriend.

That night, the two were seen cuddling and holding hands at Nobu in Manhattan. They also caused a media frenzy as they arrived at the restaurant and left together after dinner.

Rob Gronkowski's trying to make his annual Super Bowl party extra lit this year ... telling TMZ Sports he wants the hottest couple on the planet right now -- Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift -- to be there!!

And, get this ... he's hoping the pop star will sing -- while Kelce cuts a rug on the dance floor!!

"She can perform a song with you dancing on the stage!!" he said in a message to the Chiefs star.

Of course, a lot can happen between now and Gronk's annual "Gronk Beach" bash at this season's Super Bowl in Las Vegas -- Kelce and Swift might not be a thing ... and Travis could be playing in the Big Game, preventing him from partying anyways.

But Rob made it clear if that's not the case ... he wants the couple there -- especially after he says he and the Kansas City tight end really hit off at a "Gronk Beach" party at the 2022 NFL Draft.

In fact, Gronk explained to us that's where he learned Kelce can really move -- something he thinks attracted Swift to him in the first place!

"He's got unbelievable hips!" Gronk said.

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.

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.

Sorry, Swifties ... better luck next week.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have clearly decided to remove any doubt from the doubters, because they were all loved up Saturday night, showing the world what's up with their romance.

It's the first time we've seen them show PDA ... holding hands as they headed into Nobu before heading over to 30 Rock to appear on "Saturday Night Live."

Taylor's appearance was a big surprise ... she only uttered 4 words but people in the crowd went nuts when she introduced Ice Spice.

After the show, both Travis and Taylor hit up Catch Steak for the 'SNL' after-party. An eyewitness tells TMZ the 2 were kissing at Catch and Travis' arm was firmly planted around Taylor's waist. They stayed until 4 AM.

We've been telling you for weeks they're a couple. In fact, our sources have told us they've been dating for several months now, but this kinda puts a nail in the coffin of the conspiracy theorists, although that probably won't be the case.

The weather was crappy, but it didn't stop them from hitting the town.

Taylor's been in the air a lot this week ... flying from NYC to Kansas City to watch her BF's game, then flying to L.A. for the premiere of her new movie, and then flying back to NYC with Travis for "SNL."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have shown flashes of PDA, but never quite like this -- namely, the first time we've seen them hold hands in public ... and TMZ's got the video.

The hot new couple hit the town in NYC Saturday night ... strolling into Nobu with nobody else but them, and some security guards in tow. In other words, it was date night -- which was evidenced by the way they were grabbing on to each other, and TK leading the way.

On top of the romantic gesture here, eyewitnesses tell us they were also cuddling at their table. On the way out ... Travis proved to be a gentleman, putting Taylor's coat on for her.

Remember, we already told you they had plans to spend the entire weekend together ... y'know, in light of Trav having a few days since his team got their game over with on Thursday. His brother, Jason, plays with the Eagles in nearby New Jersey tomorrow -- so it would appear they're in town for that and will most likely attend together. Big step, indeed.

Just yesterday, there were a bunch of SUVs parked outside of Travis's home in Kansas City ... so yeah, TayTay spent the night. Later Saturday, her private jet took off from KC and landed on the East Coast. Now, they're gallivanting around the Big Apple together.

Like we said, this is the first time we're seeing them straight up hold hands like boyfriend/girlfriend -- before this ... we saw them cozying up at a Kansas City afterparty.

Of course, everybody also saw them drive away together in Travis's muscle car convertible.

The only other time we've seen them in the same picture frame was when someone recorded them leaving the stadium on that 1st game she went to in-person a few weeks ago ... but they weren't touching then. Now, they totally are ... it's safe to say, they're dating.

TBH, the way Travis literally manifested this thing out of nowhere it's pretty inspiring. He literally just recounted a time he attempted to shoot his shot (to no avail at first) ... and just like that, he will a relationship into existence. Talk about the power of the universe, huh?

Of course, the NFL itself has obviously been eating this pairing up like nobody's business ... they've been loving all the hype and attention it's getting -- not to mention the ratings.

Assuming these two come out to tomorrow's game, FOX is in for a swarm of eyeballs. It would mark the the first time Trayvis would be in a private suite, side by side.
