Sources tell us the Kansas City Chiefs star, along with his brother Jason and other friends, visited Barney’s Beanery Friday afternoon ... where they guzzled down some drinks and watched some of the World Cup ... as Taylor Swift seemingly hosted a pre-wedding affair at her Rhode Island mansion.
We hear Jason was super chatty with patrons and was overheard talking to some Philadelphia Eagles fans about football before heading over to play a classic basketball arcade game, Pop-A-Shot, with the group.
Austin Metcalf was helped by immediate responders right after he was stabbed by Karmelo Anthony ... who can be heard begging him to stay alive and performing CPR until paramedics arrive in shocking 911 audio.
The audio captures the crowd's initial reaction to Metcalf fighting for his life at an April 2025 high school track meet in Frisco, Texas ... with a man calling 911 and informing a dispatcher of the incident.
At first this man tells the dispatcher Austin doesn't appear to be breathing ... though he later changes course and says the teen was able to gather some air -- but that he wasn't conscious.
There's movement at Taylor Swift's Rhode Island home Saturday ... as sources say she's celebrating her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce with her closest gal pals at the iconic mansion.

But, we have not independently confirmed if it was the Grammy winner or a member of her posse.
The family of the doodle Jameson, who was shot to death by an LAPD officer last Saturday, has torn the "reckless" officer apart after bodycam footage showed them shooting the pup multiple times ... even after he was down.
Jameson's owners, Marie Marseille and Jeremiah Garcia, called the incident "unnecessary and profoundly dangerous" via their attorney, Brett Greenfield ... and questioned the judgement of the officer in a statement to TMZ.
They slammed ... "Throughout the encounter, the officer repeatedly used profanity, focused on the dog’s size, and displayed an aggressive attitude during what was supposed to be a welfare check."
Travis Kelce stole the show at DJ Chris Lake's Los Angeles concert Friday night ... stepping out with some pals as Taylor Swift's Rhode Island home bustles with foot traffic.

Check out the emotional clip -- Karmelo is crying out to police that Austin touched him after he warned him not to ... seemingly trying to justify the stabbing. As you know, Karmelo used a self-defense claim during his murder trial, alleging that he had to protect himself because Austin made physical contact with him first.
The bodycam video goes on to show that Karmelo calmed down and was being compliant with Frisco police officers as they searched his person during his initial detainment. He also confirmed he's not an "alleged suspect" ... straight out admitting, "I did it."

It's no surprise -- Stephen infamously doubted the talent of Brunson and several NBA futures while they were playing collegiate basketball ... and continued when they were drafted.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding guest list is gaining more star power ... 'cause TMZ has learned Sombrhas scored an invite to the couple's big wedding celebration.
Sources familiar with the guest list tell us Sombr is expected to attend the July 3 celebration at Madison Square Garden -- the massive event we've told you about that's separate from the actual wedding ceremony.
The singer's invite makes sense ... Sombr and Taylor have become close in recent months, and they were even spotted together after a Knicks game in New York. He also performed for Taylor earlier this month at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

7:11 PM PT -- Mayor Karen Bass released the following statement after the footage dropped ... “What I saw on the bodycam footage is disturbing and tragic. The Chief and I agreed that it was important to release the bodycam footage swiftly. While the investigation is ongoing, I am very concerned about why shots were fired and Jameson was killed. This shooting makes clear that while LAPD provides officers with written guidance on the use of force and pets, this is not enough."
She added ... “I have directed the Police Commission President and the Chief to examine the Department's Use of Force policy on Dog Encounters to determine best practices from around the country, and use this opportunity to update the LAPD's overall tactics, policies, and training related to the use of lethal force to increase safety for everyone – officers, Angelenos and their pets.”
Warning: Graphic Video
An officer fired not once, but four times, in the controversial fatal shooting of the Canoga Park dog, Jameson, on Saturday.
The LAPD just released the bodycam footage from the officer who killed Marie Marseille's golden retriever, Saint Bernard, and poodle mix ... and it's difficult to watch.
When officers first approach Marie's apartment, she cracks the door ... and Jameson pokes his head out and barks.
Now you can see the evidence against Karmelo Anthony for yourself ... because a Texas court has made a ton of it public.
The court released shocking photos, videos, 911 calls, and other evidence from Karmelo's trial ... where he was sentenced to 35 years in prison for murdering Austin Metcalf.

This includes a security camera video that shows the murder scene moments before Karmelo fatally stabbed Austin.
The mystery surrounding Taylor Swift's Rhode Island weekend is only getting deeper ... but the latest evidence suggests whatever's happening is taking place at her house, not at the ritzy Ocean House hotel next door.
TMZ obtained new photos Friday of the massive tent erected on the Ocean House lawn in Watch Hill, just a block from Taylor's beachfront mansion. While the structure is enormous, a closer look reveals little more than a large wooden dance floor inside. There are no tables, place settings, or other signs that the space is being readied for a wedding reception.
We've spoken with two sources familiar with the weekend's plans who are adamant Taylor is not hosting an event at Ocean House. Instead, both sources insist the weekend is shaping up to be a bachelorette-style gathering centered around Taylor and her closest girlfriends.

The attorney, Brett Greenfield, tells TMZ ... "If the LAPD does not address this appropriately relating to the officer and my client, I will be filing a lawsuit. We play to win, it's just that simple. We are not happy about this."
