HEY MICK...!

Drake vs. Kendrick? Cute. The real heavyweight grudge match is in the senior circuit ...  'cause Mick Jagger’s new nemesis seems to be none other than George freakin' Thorogood!

Yup, TMZ snagged the vid -- 75-year-old blues-rock legend George exited Houston’s House of Blues Wednesday following his show with The Destroyers ... only to turn back, eye a fan and drop the line ... "You tell Mick Jagger he can suck on that," pointing at the venue behind him, to a few supportive cheers, with one onlooker exclaiming "U-S-A!"

For the record -- there’s zero known beef between the "Bad to the Bone" singer and 82-year-old Mick. So either George was flexing to claim he's the boss, straight-up trolling for kicks, or just tossing Mick's name out at random 'cause of an adrenaline high.

YOU BELONG WITH ME???

Taylor and Travis' "Love Story" started back in July 2023, after the NFL tight end voiced his disappointment that he wasn't able to meet the pop star at her "Eras" tour stop in Kansas City. Travis made the confession on his "New Heights" podcast, admitting he made a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it for her.

Word got back to Taylor, however, who later called the gesture something out of a "John Hughes movie" during her first "New Heights" podcast appearance in 2025.

The couple made their relationship public in September 2023, when Taylor attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game -- cheering on Travis from his box at Arrowhead Stadium.
