Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce keep low profile on dinner date in Park City after ‘reconnecting’ on romantic getaway

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were seen getting into their getaway car after a recent dinner date in Park City, Utah.

The pop sensation and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end kept a low profile as they quickly exited a restaurant together, per a video shared by DeuxMoi Monday.

Swift and Kelce kept each other close as they were escorted to their SUV by security. The couple’s outing in the snowy destination reportedly took place last week.

The “Bad Blood” hitmaker was dressed warmly in a long coat and black boots, while the NFL star wore a striped jacket and matching pants.

Kelce made sure that his girlfriend of a year and a half safely got into their white Range Rover before following directly behind her.

The outing marked the first joint sighting of the pair since the football player lost in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9.

The lovebirds have seemingly been making an extra effort to avoid extra attention in recent weeks.

A source told Page Six in late February that Swift and Kelce, both 35, “went unnoticed” during a night out on the town at the time.

“They weren’t photographed or anything,” the insider said, adding that the duo felt “lucky” to have a paparazzi-free evening.

The date followed the couple’s return to the US after spending quality time together abroad on a romantic vacation.

“Taylor and Travis had a really nice time reconnecting after a very busy year,” the source exclusively told us.

The Grammy winner and the NFL star headed out of town shortly after the Chiefs’ tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.

Swift has not made any formal appearances since she was last seen cheering on Kelce from a VIP suite at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The billionaire musician has seemingly been taking a break after concluding her record-breaking Eras Tour in December 2024.

Swift and Kelce were first romantically linked in summer 2023 before going public with their romance that September.

Travis Kelce and Kim Kardashian have been spotted together at Kim’s private party. Furious Taylor Swift feels “BETRAYED” by Travis’ closeness with Kim, sparking outrage among fans… but that’s not all, as a shocking video confirms the pop star’s worst fears. “If you were in Taylor’s shoes, what would you do after seeing this?!”

 

In the ever-entwined worlds of sports and entertainment, few stories have captivated the public’s imagination like the recent events involving NFL star Travis Kelce, pop icon Taylor Swift, and media mogul Kim Kardashian.

Rumors have swirled, emotions have run high, and fans have been left in suspense, eager to uncover the truth behind the headlines.

 

 

It all began when reports surfaced that Travis Kelce and Kim Kardashian were spotted together at a private event. Eyewitnesses claimed the two were engaged in deep conversation, laughing and appearing quite comfortable in each other’s company.

Given their high-profile statuses, it wasn’t long before whispers of a potential new friendship—or something more—began to circulate.

As the news spread, attention quickly turned to Taylor Swift, Kelce’s girlfriend and global superstar. Anonymous sources hinted that Swift felt “betrayed” by Kelce’s closeness with Kardashian, especially considering past tensions between Swift and Kardashian.

Fans recalled the infamous feud that played out years prior, adding fuel to the fire. Swift’s supporters took to social media, expressing their outrage and concern over the potential strain on their idol’s relationship.

Amid the speculation, a video began making rounds online, purportedly showing Kelce and Kardashian in a compromising situation.

The grainy footage, taken from a distance, depicted two figures resembling the celebrities sharing an intimate moment. The video’s authenticity was immediately questioned, but that didn’t stop it from going viral, with millions dissecting every frame.

Social media platforms were ablaze with theories and debates. Swifties, as Taylor’s devoted fans are known, rallied behind her, condemning Kelce’s alleged actions and accusing Kardashian of meddling.

Memes, hashtags, and think-pieces flooded timelines, each adding a new layer to the unfolding drama. Media outlets capitalized on the frenzy, with tabloids publishing speculative articles and talk shows dedicating segments to analyze the situation.

After days of mounting tension and public speculation, the truth finally emerged, bringing clarity to the convoluted narrative.

It was revealed that the private event where Kelce and Kardashian were spotted was, in fact, a surprise wrap party organized by Kelce to celebrate the conclusion of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour.

The event was meticulously planned, with Kelce enlisting the help of Swift’s close friends and industry insiders to ensure it remained a secret.

Kim Kardashian, a long-time admirer of Swift’s work and eager to mend past misunderstandings, was invited as a gesture of goodwill. Her attendance symbolized a potential thawing of the icy relations between the two influential women.

The controversial video that had fueled so much speculation was, in reality, a misrepresentation.

The clip showed Kelce and Kardashian rehearsing a light-hearted skit they planned to perform in Swift’s honor during the party.

The supposed “intimate moment” was merely a scripted segment, taken out of context by an attendee who leaked the footage prematurely.

Contrary to the rumors of feeling betrayed, Taylor Swift was reportedly “blown away” by the surprise party and deeply touched by the efforts of her boyfriend and friends.

Sources close to Swift revealed that she appreciated Kardashian’s presence, viewing it as an olive branch and a step toward reconciliation. The party was a joyous occasion, filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt speeches, marking a memorable end to her tour.

This episode serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of jumping to conclusions based on incomplete information.

In today’s digital age, where snippets of content can go viral within minutes, it’s crucial to approach such stories with caution and seek out verified facts before forming opinions.

For the celebrities involved, it highlighted the importance of clear communication and the value of resolving past conflicts with grace and understanding.

The saga of Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, and Kim Kardashian underscores the complexities of life in the public eye.

While fans are quick to support their idols, it’s essential to remember that celebrities, like all individuals, navigate personal relationships that aren’t always as they appear from the outside.

As this story shows, sometimes, what seems like a scandal is simply a misunderstood gesture of friendship and love.

BREAKING: Happy 44th Birthday, Kim Kardashian — Love Her or Hate Her Guts, She’s Still the Unstoppable Queen of Chaos Ruling the Spotlight With No Apologies! Kim Says: ‘I live loud because quiet is for the weak who can’t handle me.’

March 08, 2025 – The sun dips low over the horizon, casting a sepia glow across the sands, and there she stands: Kim Kardashian, the undisputed lightning rod of fame, celebrating her birthday with a beach spectacle that’s as polarizing as her very existence. In a world that can’t decide whether to crown her or crucify her, Kim isn’t just throwing a party—she’s hurling a grenade into the court of public opinion. And her statement says it all: “I live loud because quiet is for the weak who can’t handle me.”

Picture this: Kim, framed against the crashing waves, her silhouette sharp yet softened by the vintage sepia haze. She’s draped in a barely-there bikini that screams defiance, diamonds glinting like battle scars under the muted light. The beach stretches out like her kingdom—wild, untamed, and hers to command. Photographers scramble, fans cheer, and detractors seethe, but Kim? She’s unbothered, sipping something sparkling, her eyes daring anyone to challenge her throne.

This isn’t just a birthday. It’s a declaration. For years, she’s been called too much—too sexy, too rich, too fake. The haters have their pitchforks ready, claiming her empire’s built on shallow sand. But Kim’s response cuts through the noise like a blade: “I live loud because quiet is for the weak who can’t handle me.” It’s less a quote and more a war cry, a middle finger to the timid and a toast to the bold. She’s not here to shrink; she’s here to dominate.

The scene is pure Kim—over-the-top yet grounded in that gritty realism she’s mastered. The sepia tone doesn’t just soften the edges; it amplifies the drama, turning every pose into a timeless standoff. One image captures her mid-stride, waves licking at her feet, hair whipping in the wind—a modern goddess who knows the camera’s her weapon. Another shows her lounging on a throne of driftwood, staring down the lens as if it’s her next conquest. The controversy swirls like the tide: Is she a genius or a gimmick? A trailblazer or a trainwreck? Kim doesn’t care—she’s too busy winning.

Her birthday bash isn’t quiet or quaint. It’s a full-on assault of glamour—music blaring, drones buzzing overhead, and a crowd that’s equal parts worshippers and warriors. She’s brought the chaos of her life to the shore, and the statement echoes: “I live loud because quiet is for the weak who can’t handle me.” It’s a line that’ll spark X posts for weeks—some praising her audacity, others slamming her arrogance. But that’s the Kim Kardashian effect: love her or loathe her, you’re still talking about her.

Critics will say she’s too much, that her beachside reign is just another stunt. Supporters will argue she’s a force of nature, rewriting fame’s playbook with every scandal-soaked step. The truth? She’s both—and neither cares what you think. As the sepia sun sets, Kim stands tall, a living paradox in a world too small to contain her. Happy birthday, Kim K. Keep living loud. The weak never stood a chance.

Rosie O’Donnell Confirms Move to Ireland, Will Return to U.S. ‘When It’s Safe for All Citizens to Have Equal Rights’

The comedian previously seemed to hint that she had moved abroad in a selfie as she joked about driving on the “wrong side of the road”

Rosie O’Donnell has confirmed that she is no longer living in the U.S.

In a TikTok video posted on Tuesday, March 11, the comedian confirmed she had moved to Ireland on Jan. 15 with her 12-year-old daughter Dakota, four days after she seemingly teased that she was living abroad in an Instagram post.

“It’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I’m very grateful,” O’Donnell said in the TikTok video as she revealed her international move.

She said that she’s “in the process” of getting Irish citizenship as her grandparents hail from the country, before expanding on the reasoning behind her move.

“I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are,” she said.

“You know, I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” she said.

She continued her video by seemingly referencing changes made in the country since President Donald Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20: “It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know.”

PEOPLE has reached out to O’Donnell’s rep for comment.

O’Donnell said that everyone in Dublin, where she’s currently living, has been “friendly.” She also said she’s “met a bunch of people” in the nearly two months since she moved, but felt a need to share the news with her fans as she was “sorry for those of you who were worried and who missed me.”

“I just felt like we needed to take care of ourselves and make some hard decisions and follow through. And now as we’re getting settled, I was ready to post this and to tell everybody what’s been going on,” she said.

As she concluded the nine-minute video, O’Donnell shared a message with her fans. “Protect your sanity is all I can say. Protect your sanity as much as you can, and try not to swim in the chaos if possible, but I know it’s nearly impossible when you’re there in the middle of it.”

She continued, “And I think about everyone every day and the United States of America. And I am hoping that we can turn things around, counting on you, all of you, to do what’s right. And I think deep down inside, we all know what that is.

O’Donnell’s confirmation of her move to Ireland comes after she hinted at the move in a series of Instagram posts on March 7. She shared a selfie from a car and wrote in the caption that she’d “bought a little used car to tool around the countryside on the wrong side of the road.”

She also shared a photo of her daughter Dakota in the backseat of a car with her backpack beside her on the way to school, which further hinted at a move.

George Clooney debuts new hair color while out to lunch with wife Amal

George Clooney debuts new hair color while out to lunch with wife Amal

George Clooney’s got a new ‘do.

The “Ocean’s Eleven” star debuted a dramatic hair transformation on Sunday while out to lunch with his wife, Amal Clooney.

The couple dined at celeb-loved eatery Raoul’s in New York City alongside their attorney and friend, Kevin Johnson.

Amal, 47, looked spring-ready in a cropped plaid jacket, oversized sunglasses, bell-bottom jeans and dramatic dangling earrings.

George, for his part, looked cool in a black leather jacket, beige chinos and Adidas sneakers.

The silver fox, 63, traded his signature salt-and-pepper locks for a head of dyed-brown hair ahead of his upcoming role on Broadway.

The A-list actor is set to play legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow in “Good Night, And Good Luck,” an adaptation from the 2005 movie of the same name.

George co-wrote, directed and starred in the 20-year-old film; however, he took on a supporting role as CBS President Fred Friendly.

This time around, the Oscar winner is taking the story to the stage and playing the lead.

The play, which George also co-wrote with Grant Heslov, opens on April 3 but will begin preview performances on March 12.

However, the actor previously told the New York Times he wasn’t excited about having to dye his hair — and neither was Amal.

“My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair,” he joked. “My kids are going to just laugh at me nonstop.”

George shares 7-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with the human rights lawyer, whom he wed in 2014.

Along with changing his look, the “Wolfs” star also started smoking to get into character as the famed broadcaster, who smoked three packs a day and died from complications of lung cancer at just 57.

“I had to get better at inhaling,” he told the publication. “I go outside so the kids don’t see and smoke a little bit.”

However, he plans to switch to herbal cigarettes once he takes the stage next month, which he is admittedly “terrified” of.

“Are you kidding? I’m doing 11 monologues. When you get older, your recall isn’t the same,” he said of his nerves.

“When I was doing ‘ER,’ it was 12 pages of medical dialogue. You look at it in the morning and you say, ‘OK, let’s go!’ Now you get older and you’re going, ‘What’s wrong with me? Well, don’t drink any wine tonight.’”

Despite his anxiety, George feels a story about truth and the importance of fact is needed now more than ever.

He said the play “feels more like it’s about truth, not just the press. Facts matter.”

SHOCKING TWIST: Kid Rock Invites Infamous Trump-Hater to the White House—”Time to Unite America!”

Kid Rock says he plans to bring Bill Maher as a dinner guest to the White House to chat with President Donald Trump soon, claiming the meetup could “unite” the country.

“I’m actually going to try and unite this country, and I’m starting at the end of the month. I’m taking Bill Maher to the White House for dinner. This guy who has done nothing but talk smack about the president since day one,” the musician said.

During an episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” which aired Saturday, Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) told host Glenn Beck that he first thought of setting up the dinner with Trump and Maher, who has been vocal about his distaste for the Republican president, when he recently stopped by the comedian’s “Club Random” podcast.

The “Cowboy” singer, an ardent Trump supporter, said he feels he could find “common ground” and “break bread” with the political commentator, calling Maher “actually more reasonable than a lot of people on the right would think.”

As much as Maher has dug his heels in on Trump, he has also sounded off over his gripes about liberals and the overall state of America’s political climate.

“I was doing [Maher’s] podcast, I said, if I could hook you guys up … and trust me, there’s a lot more people deserving at that table for dinner so it’s a big deal to me to bring [Maher] there and to even have the president be like, ‘yeah, do it, let’s do it,’” Rock said. “I go, man, what would it say to this country?”

Rock continued, “Let’s start at the top with [two] very public figures — a television comedian and president of the free world — and we can just break bread, have some laughs, take a picture and be like, ‘hey, you know, we don’t agree on everything, but we got along.’”

The “Joe Dirt” actor went on to claim the president dining with such a vocal critic like Maher could possibly spark opposing political sides to come together despite their differing opinions.

“Does that start to send a message to people … I think we just gotta start somewhere,” Rock added. “Maybe [it will inspire someone] to call that family member that you got into it with over politics.”

Ne-Yo STUNS Fans: Unveils 4 Girlfriends in Shocking Polyamorous Relationship – “We Happy Over Here!”

Ne-Yo introduces his 4 girlfriends from polyamorous relationship: ‘We happy over here’

Ne-Yo is not ashamed of his polyamorous lifestyle.

Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the “Miss Independent” singer introduced fans to the four women he’s currently in a relationship with, urging critics to “say something nice” or “move on” with their lives.

“Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly. LADIES AND GENTS I PRESENT MY PYRAMID,” he captioned the upload.

Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Chimere Smith, revealed that his four girlfriends are Arielle Hill, Brionna Williams, a woman who goes by Cristina and another woman who goes by Moneii.

The “Because of You” singer, 45, added that each woman also has a nickname –– Cristina goes by “Pretty Baby,” Moneii is “Phoenix Feather,” Williams is “Sexy Lil’ Somethin’” and Hill goes by “Twin Flame.”

He concluded his caption by writing, “We happy over here.

Although it’s the first time Ne-Yo has publicly confirmed his relationship status with the four women, he has previously shared photos and videos with all of them over the last month.

Three of the women –– Cristina, Moneii and Hill –– even refer to each other as “wives” and have an Instagram account dedicated to their relationship with Ne-Yo.

Titled @the.mrs.lefts, the account features photos of the three of them cozying up with Ne-Yo, partying together and holding hands.

Meanwhile, Williams, who is one of Ne-Yo’s backup dancers, has not posted with the other woman and has stuck to only sharing snaps with the singer.

Ne-Yo previously defended his decision to be in a polyamorous relationship during a Feb. 20 interview on the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show.”

“I ain’t manipulating nobody, I ain’t brainwash nobody, I ain’t lying to nobody,” he said at the time. “I set it out there. ‘Here’s what it is. I like you, but I also like her, and her, and her. If you cool with that, come on we gonna have a great time.’”

The “So Sick” singer added that all individuals are “honest,” “consenting” and “telling the truth” about their dynamic.

“I feel like I wasted a lot of time just being dishonest about things, to the point where had I taken this approach initially, I could’ve saved myself a lot of headache and heartache,” he explained.

Prior to his polyamorous relationship, Ne-Yo was married to Crystal Renay from 2016 to 2022. The former couple share three children together: sons Shaffer Chimere Jr., 8, and Roman Alexander-Raj, 6, and daughter Isabella Rose, 3.

“I ain’t manipulating nobody, I ain’t brainwash nobody, I ain’t lying to nobody,” he said last month. Ne Yo/Instagram

He has two other kids –– daughter Madilyn Grace, 14, and son Mason Evan, 13 –– with ex Monyetta Shaw-Carter and another two children –– sons Braiden, 3, and Brixton, 1 –– with ex Sade Jenea.

Ne-Yo shared that his kids are aware of his relationship status and explained how he told them the news.

“It’s like, ‘Hey, this is daddy’s girlfriend,’” he said during the same radio interview. “’And so is that, and so is that, and so is that. She gonna make you some cereal, she gonna cook lunch and she gonna wash your clothes.’ And it’s all good.”

Ne-Yo is ready to give fans a closer look at his love life.

“Since the world is so intrigued, I guess I should introduce my loves properly,” he wrote in the caption of a Sunday Instagram post. The video shared by the “So Sick” singer features four women vamping for a camera, which circles around them. “Ladies and gents I present my pyramid,” he added.

The musician born Shaffer Chimere Smith has been teasing details about his polyamorous relationship for months, but finally took the opportunity Sunday to introduce fans to his four girlfriends by nickname, first name, and in two cases last name: Cristina (Pretty Baby), Arielle Hill (Twin Flame), Moneii (Phoenix Feather), and Brionna Williams (Sexy Lil’ Somethin’).

“Say something nice or move on with your life. We happy over here,” the musician wrote in conclusion to his post, which also featured a solo picture of each partner, a picture of each partner with Ne-Yo, and a final group shot.

Three of Ne-Yo’s current partners — Cristina, Moneii, and Hill — run the Instagram account @the.mrs.lefts, which has documented their relationship with the musician since last September.

Several of the women have previously acknowledged the relationship and even commented on the perceived public opinion around it. Moneii wrote in a February Instagram post, “Yes we’re in the public eye and we know people are gonna voice their opinion that’s what’s expected but y’all need to understand over here it’s a solid foundation… when it comes to each other a lot people will never understand that and that’s cool just know it’s US VS NOBODY.”

The day after Christmas 2024, Hill posted a photo featuring herself, Ne-Yo, Cristina, and Moneii all dressed in red with the caption, “Happy Holidays from us.”

Ne-Yo has two children with former girlfriend and Real Housewives of Atlanta star Monyetta Shaw-Carter, three children with ex-wife and Bold & Bougie star Crystal Renay Williams, and two children with former girlfriend and influencer Sade Jenea Bagnerise. Bagnerise accused the musician of physical assault last year, which she then retracted. But last month Bagnerise criticized Ne-Yo’s new relationship, saying, “Poly relationships aren’t five girlfriends that party with you every night so that you can pick up more girls.”

Ne-Yo opened up about his own motivations for the unique relationship arrangement in an appearance last week on The Cruz Show podcast. “I know people that have been married for years, happily. It’s definitely a real thing. It just personally didn’t work for me. Polyamorous relationships work for me,” he said, adding with a laugh, “Don’t go and ask your girlfriend for a girlfriend and say what Ne-Yo said. Don’t do that.”

ELON MUSK’S DOGE SHOCKER! U.S. Government TERMINATES $18M Contract Over EMPTY Migrant Shelter – What Really Happened?

Elon Musk’s DOGE, HHS ended $18 million contract with San Antonio nonprofit over empty migrant housing facility — but organization calls claims of corruption ‘baseless’

Since Donald Trump took office, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been on a mission to fight waste, fraud, and abuse in the government. DOGE also has an X account highlighting the actions it is taking to allegedly help taxpayers save money.

In late February, DOGE’s X account sent out a message reporting it had ended a contract with a San Antonio non-profit called Family Endeavors, claiming that by having HHS terminate the contract, they’d saved taxpayers over $215 million per year.

Endeavors, however, claims it was fulfilling its mandate, and that its contract was not an example of fraudulent spending. The non-profit issued a statement, saying that “any claims of corruption or mismanagement are baseless.”

So, what exactly happened, and what was the contact DOGE put an end to?

Nonprofit paid millions to operate empty facility

According to the DOGE post, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was paying around $18 million per month to Endeavors to run a facility in Pecos, Texas, that was intended for use housing unaccompanied migrant children. However, at the time, the facility was sitting empty.

DOGE officials felt that paying millions per month for an unused shelter wasn’t the best use of taxpayer money — especially as it noted the occupancy of national licensed facilities is now below 20% — so it ended the contract.

Endeavors, however, believes it was acting within the scope of its obligations and that the service it was providing was a valuable one that was in line with its obligations. In an interview with News 4 San Antonio, a source from Endeavors shared that the shelter had been occupied from March 2021 to March 2023, and again from September 2023 to February 2024, over which time it served 40,000 unaccompanied minors.

When the government stopped using the shelter in March 2024, Endeavors said funding was still needed to pay all the expenses associated with keeping the shelter ready to be used again at any time — like its lease, medical facilities, vaccine refrigeration and the hundreds of cameras required for security.

It also said federal officials were on site daily, and that the federal government decided which locations should be used as shelters for migrants and not the nonprofit itself.

Regardless, the contract has now come to an end so Endeavors’ work with the government on this issue is halted, at least for now, along with payments to the nonprofit.

Is there a conflict of interest?

The DOGE post on X didn’t just focus on the emptiness of the facility. It also aimed to highlight the connections Endeavors had with the Biden administration in order to cast doubt on whether the contract was on the up-and-up in the first place.

The X post stated that, “A former ICE employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021 and helped secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities. As a result, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023.”

While this might seem like a conflict of interest, Endeavors’ statement indicated the nonprofit had been serving migrant families under contracts with the government since 2012 and that it was just one of 15 organizations contracting with the government in 2021 to try to help house migrants.

“Our selection was based on our proven experience, capacity, and more than a decade of performance,” the nonprofit stated.

Evidence of a connection with former government officials alone isn’t, by itself, evidence of corruption or wrongdoing, so readers of DOGE and Endeavors’ statements can draw their own conclusions from the competing facts.

It’s worth noting, though, that Musk’s companies SpaceX and Tesla have been awarded $18 billion in federal contracts since 2015 — although those contracts were largely awarded under the Biden administration. Still, some have questioned whether Musk himself may have a conflict of interest in determining what contracts will be cut as they believe it’s unlikely his own company’s contracts will be on the chopping block — unlike the contract with Endeavor.
