Fans have pointed out that one habit Taylor Swift seems to have is DRINKING ALCOHOL in public celebrating Kansas City Chiefs’ victories by snapping pictures and enjoying a alcohol drink in public.

Taylor Swift braved the frigid temperatures Sunday and headed to Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, to cheer on Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Buffalo Bills.

Swift could be seen in a suite at the stadium alongside Kelce’s brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.

The singer also attended the AFC wild card game between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs on Jan. 13, the fourth-coldest game in NFL history.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, the Bills and concession stand operator Delaware North revealed select locations at Highmark Stadium would offer menu items referencing some of Swift’s biggest hits.

“Bad Blood” Waffle Fries and the “Karma” Quesadilla were added to some of the menus at the stadium, CBS New York reported.

Preparations for Sunday’s game also included another round of shoveling, with seats being covered in snow two weekends in a row.
Swift, who has been romantically linked to Travis Kelce for months, first attended a Chiefs game in September. She’s attended several games since, including on Christmas Day and then again on New Year’s Eve.

Football is awesome, it turns out,” Swift said in her Time Person of the Year interview. “I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

Other celebrities, including Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman — all of whom are friends with Swift — have also attended Chiefs games this season.

Fans at Chiefs games have held up several signs this season referring to the singer and to her relationship with Kelce. Some Bills fans carried a sign on Sunday saying they came to the game “for Taylor.”

Kelce first broke his silence about Swift in late September during an episode of his “New Heights” podcast. The Chiefs player said he’s been on the “rollercoaster of life” since Swift’s first appearance at one of his games.

The Bills are scheduled to face the Chiefs at 6:30 p.m. ET in the divisional round playoff game. The winner will advance to the AFC Championship game

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky fuel third baby rumors during NYC stroll as hitmaker covers up

Rihanna has been seen covering up in a loose-fitting two-piece amid rumors that she is pregnant with her third baby, after she recently declared that she is “starting over” with her latest music project

Rihanna has been spotted rocking a zebra two-piece, sparking “baby number three” rumors after several appearances where she’s kept her midsection under wraps.

The music icon turned heads in the eye-catching zebra-striped ensemble on Thursday, July 11. She paired the flowy pants and coordinating top with a casual baseball cap and chic silver flats for an added touch of glam.

She was seen wearing this outfit while taking a casual walk with her beau A$AP Rocky in Soho, New York City. The 36 year old superstar gave birth to her second son last summer, sharing the bundle of joy with 35 year old A$AP Rocky.

The duo first became parents to RZA Athelston Mayers, who arrived in May 2022, and they welcomed their second child just over a year later. Now, the rumor mill is buzzing with speculation that the pair might be expanding their family once again.

Speculation started swirling after the couple enjoyed a romantic evening out on Mother’s Day in May, reports the Mirror. Adding fuel to the fire, in June, Rihanna was seen in a T-shirt emblazoned with “I’m retired” while strategically covering her stomach, which led some eagle-eyed fans to speculate that she might be pregnant with her third child, less than a year after giving birth to her second son.

Back in May, celebrity psychic Inbaal Honigman did a Tarot reading about Rihanna’s baby plans and has now shared the intriguing results with us. The cards suggest that while Rihanna is not in a hurry, another baby could be on the horizon, with family being her top priority.

The “IX Hermit” card, which came up for Rihanna, signifies a preference for staying in over going out, hinting that she’d happily swap a night out for time with her family. According to Honigman, this card’s connection to Virgo suggests that September might be the month Rihanna feels ready to expand her brood.

Ms Honigman revealed to The Mirror: “When asking the Tarot about Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s baby plans, Rihanna receives the ‘IX Hermit’ Tarot card, which is wise and indoorsy.”

“It indicates that if she needed to, the songstress would gladly miss a night on the tiles for a night by the cot, changing nappies. Her family are her number one priority, and her third baby will arrive, but she’s in no rush. The Hermit card relates to the sign of Virgo, meaning that in September, she may feel that it’s time to start working on another little bairn.”

Rihanna has also hinted at a fresh start with her latest music project, expressing a sense of rediscovery in her approach to music. She divulged: “Music for me is a new discovery. I’m rediscovering things,” and added, “I have been working on the album for so long that I kind of just put all that stuff aside.”

“Now I’m prepared to go back into the studio. Now I’m prepared. So I’m gonna start.” She then quipped under her breath: “Gimme a second.”

“So we’re starting over,” the reporter then probed, to which Rihanna affirmed: “Yeah, starting over.”

Patrick Mahomes Says Taylor Swift Has Already Started ‘Drawing Up Plays’ for the Kansas City Chiefs

“She’s really interested in football, she asks a lot of great questions,” Mahomes said of his teammate Travis Kelce’s partner Swift

Taylor Swift is getting stuck in when it comes to cheering on her boyfriend Travis Kelce at Kansas City Chiefs games!

While speaking to Chris Simms for a new NFL on NBC interview that aired on Thursday, Aug. 29, Kelce’s teammate and close friend Patrick Mahomes, 28, praised Swift, 34, once again, and explained she’s genuinely “interested” in the sport.

The “Love Story” singer attended her first Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 24, 2023 when she and Kelce, 34, first sparked dating rumors.

“Meeting Taylor, realizing how genuine and cool she is… that’s been special to me, because like you said [she’s] the most famous person in the world,” Mahomes told Simms.

“She’s really interested in football, she asks a lot of great questions. She’s already drawing up plays so we might have to put one in,” the quarterback revealed.

While discussing whether the attention surrounding him and the Chiefs “went up to another level” once Swift showed an interest in the sport, Mahomes responded, “I think it’s been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football.”

“I know being a girl dad how cool it is for me… to see these little girls, these daughters and how much they’re loving spending time with their dad watching football,” the athlete continued.

Mahomes shares daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 21 months, with his wife Brittany Mahomes, 28. The high school sweethearts, who married in 2022, are expecting their third baby together; another little girl.

This definitely isn’t the first time Mahomes, who attended Swift’s Eras Tour show with Brittany and Kelce in Amsterdam in July, has shared his appreciation for the pop superstar.

In a December 2023 interview with CBS Mornings, the three-time Super Bowl winner said, “She’s top-tier at her profession, and to see how she drives and she becomes that — Dude, it’s really cool to hear about and to see, and now I have a first-hand look at that through Brittany and Travis’ eyes,” referencing his wife’s friendship with Swift and his teammate’s relationship with the singer.

Mahomes revealed that when Swift and Kelce first began dating, “everybody stayed away” and “just let [Kelce] do what he was doing.”

“Then, he started bringing Taylor around, and he realized how cool of a person she was, and she is, and so for us, there were a couple of jokes here and there at the beginning,” he added at the time.

“She’s just part of Chiefs Kingdom,” Mahomes said. “And she’s part of the team.”

Taylor Swift’s New Midnights Bodysuit at Eras Tour Might Be Teasing a Major Announcement — If History Repeats Itself

The day before Swift announced ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ in August 2023, she also wore a new outfit for the ‘Midnights’ era

Taylor Swift, who is “cryptic and Machiavellian” because she cares, might be hinting at an impending announcement with her newest Eras Tour outfit.

The “Mastermind” singer, 34, debuted a bodysuit during the Midnights portion of her London show on Friday, Aug. 16. If history repeats itself, she might be revealing the release date of her next re-recorded album, potentially Reputation (Taylor’s Version), at her Aug. 17 show.

The Zuhair Murad bodysuit, which features stars and a sliver of a moon, is reminiscent of when she wore a new Midnights outfit the day before she announced 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in August 2023. She eventually released the 1989 re-recording with bonus vault tracks in October 2023.

If this timeline pattern continues this year, Swift might announce Reputation (Taylor’s Version) onstage on Saturday and then might release it two months later ahead of Halloween to capitalize on the original 2017 release’s snake motif and spooky “Look What You Made Me Do“ video.

The Aug. 9, 2023, announcement happened at her final U.S. stop last year. This potential message might take place at one of her three final European stops in London on Aug. 17, Aug. 19 or Aug. 20.

Reputation (Taylor’s Version) would mark the fifth re-recording for Swift, following the re-releases of 1989 in 2023, Speak Now in July 2023, Red in November 2021 and Fearless in April 2021.

The 14-time Grammy winner’s Taylor’s Version blitz is to reclaim her music catalog after Scooter Braun acquired her albums in 2019 against her wishes from former label Big Machine.

Swift confirmed in August 2019 that she would be re-recording her albums.

“I think that artists deserve to own their work,” she told Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts. “I just feel very passionately about that.”

In TIME’s 2023 Person of the Year issue in December, Swift discussed revisiting her Reputation era, describing the impending release as “a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure.”

“I think a lot of people see it and they’re just like, sick snakes and strobe lights,” Swift elaborated, adding that the vault tracks will be “fire” and that re-releasing her albums feels like “collecting horcruxes” or “collecting infinity stones,” referencing Harry Potter and Marvel movies.

“Gandalf’s voice is in my head every time I put out a new one,” she said, looping Lord of the Rings into the mix. “For me, it is a movie now.”

Inside Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s rags-to-riches family life

Rihanna is in her third trimester of pregnancy with her first child, and one thing’s for sure – this baby is going to grow up very different to its mum and dad.

Here’s how parents-to-be Robyn Rihanna Fenty and Rakim Mayers (aka A$AP Rocky)’s upbringings compare to how their child will live.

Rihanna grew up in a three-bedroom bungalow in the parish of St. Michael, Barbados, and at one point A$AP stayed in a Manhattan shelter with his mother.

But their child can expect a much more glamorous lifestyle.

Rihanna owns a US$22 million mansion in her home country, where she was named a National Hero in 2021 – only the second woman ever to get the Right Honourable title. Her property portfolio also includes a US$13.8 million manor in Beverly Hills, the US$10 million Tudor-style home just next door, plus a home in London.

A$AP Rocky was raised in Harlem, New York, which was also the location the couple used for their epic pregnancy announcement photo shoot. While his Barbados-born grandmother still lives there, the Back Home rapper later moved down to swanky SoHo. His main abode is a contemporary build worth US$3 million in LA’s West Hollywood neighbourhood, but the rapper also has a pad in London’s Mayfair. Every Thanksgiving, A$AP Rocky donates meals to the Regent Family Residence shelter where he once lived.

Rihanna endured an upbringing of abuse from her drug addict father Ronald Fenty, who she watched be physically violent to her mother, Monica Braithwaite. Her parents divorced when she was 14 and Rihanna often stayed home to take care of her brother and help out with childcare.

Rihanna – who experienced domestic violence herself when she was in a relationship with Chris Brown – gave US$2.1 million to charity to help mothers and children going through pandemic-induced domestic violence.

When asked by Vogue UK if she would be a single mum, Rihanna said she would, adding that she believes love is all you need to be a great mother.

Rihanna Reacts to Chris Brown’s Alleged Sabotage of Quavo’s Concert: A Controversial Move?

In the ever-dramatic world of celebrity feuds and music industry rivalries, Chris Brown has once again found himself at the center of controversy. Recent reports suggest that the “Go Crazy” singer bought a significant number of tickets to a Quavo concert, causing the event to fall flat in terms of attendance. The concert, which was held in a venue with a capacity of nearly 6,000 people, became a laughingstock online after footage surfaced showing only a handful of attendees. The question remains: Did Chris Brown intentionally sabotage the event, and how does Rihanna fit into all of this?

The Quavo Concert Disaster

The concert in question was supposed to be a major event for Quavo, one of the members of the popular rap trio Migos. However, when footage from the night began circulating on social media, it showed what appeared to be an embarrassingly empty venue. Despite the large capacity, only a small group of fans were present, leading to widespread mockery across various platforms.

The low turnout quickly raised eyebrows, with many wondering why such a high-profile artist like Quavo would draw such a minimal crowd. That’s when rumors began to swirl, alleging that Chris Brown was behind the scenes, orchestrating the failure. Industry insiders claim that Brown purchased a bulk of the tickets, effectively preventing Quavo from performing to a full house.

Allegations of Sabotage

According to a source close to the situation, Chris Brown’s alleged sabotage was no accident. The source revealed, “Chris Brown is behind the failure of Quavo’s concert. He bought up all the tickets to embarrass and humiliate him and ruin the whole concert. He wanted a big, grand way to get back at him and really push his buttons.”

The idea behind this move, as per the same insider, was to show off Chris Brown’s wealth and power in the industry. By buying out the tickets and leaving the venue nearly empty, he aimed to embarrass Quavo publicly and make a statement that he could flex his financial muscles at will.

The alleged beef between the two artists hasn’t been made clear, but the speculation is that this move was personal. Brown’s attempt to sabotage Quavo’s career might be rooted in deeper, behind-the-scenes drama in the music industry, or perhaps unresolved tensions between the two.

Rihanna’s Reaction

As with many viral moments in pop culture, the drama didn’t go unnoticed by Rihanna, who herself has a complicated history with Chris Brown. In a surprising twist, the singer-turned-beauty mogul reacted to the situation in her typical humorous style, leaving a comment on a post that detailed the concert disaster. Rihanna’s comment, “It’s too early for this,” was enough to send her fans into a frenzy.

The public loved Rihanna’s light-hearted and seemingly neutral response. Instead of taking a side, she kept her comment witty and fun, a trademark of her online persona. Fans praised her for not getting dragged into the controversy, yet still acknowledging the absurdity of the situation.

One fan commented, “Rihanna is the queen of not being messy but still making everyone laugh. She just gets it.” Another added, “I love how Rihanna can always keep it real without being shady. This is why she’s loved by everyone.”

Rihanna’s ability to stay above the fray while still participating in viral moments has only enhanced her appeal. In the world of celebrity feuds, her humorous take on the situation allowed her to maintain her position as a fan favorite.

The Impact of Chris Brown’s Alleged Actions

While Rihanna’s response brought some levity to the situation, the larger implications of Chris Brown’s alleged stunt have sparked debate among fans and industry insiders. Many have expressed disappointment at what they see as a childish and unnecessary display of wealth and power.

One fan noted, “I find this whole thing kind of childish. These guys have way too much time and money on their hands, which they could be using for better things.” Another fan compared the incident to the infamous beefs of the early 2000s, saying, “This brings me right back to the Ja Rule days. These kinds of beefs were iconic back then, but it just doesn’t feel the same now.”

Others voiced concerns over the message this sends to aspiring artists and fans. One Twitter user wrote, “Buying out an entire concert to humiliate someone? That’s a dangerous precedent. We’ve got people struggling out here, and the rich are wasting money on this kind of thing. It’s excessive.”

While some may admire Chris Brown’s ability to pull off such a grand stunt, others worry that it reflects poorly on the industry as a whole. The focus, many argue, should be on the music and the talent, not on ego-driven power plays.

A Reflection of the Music Industry’s Changing Dynamics

At its core, this situation serves as a reflection of the changing dynamics within the music industry. With social media giving fans direct access to their favorite artists, celebrity beefs have become more performative and public than ever before. What might have been a private disagreement between Chris Brown and Quavo has now become a viral spectacle, with millions weighing in on the drama.

Ultimately, the saga surrounding Quavo’s disastrous concert and Chris Brown’s alleged sabotage will continue to unfold, but one thing remains certain: the world of hip-hop and R&B is no stranger to controversy. And in true Rihanna fashion, she’s managed to find the humor in it all, once again proving why she’s one of the most beloved figures in entertainment.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky named their child after RZA from Wu-Tang Clan. Listeners discuss naming their children after celebrities on The Breakfast Club.

 

Some prefer names with meaning, like Arabic or West African leaders. Celebrities like Fantasia and Nelly inspire some to name their kids after them.

One caller named her son Jason after The Game, another named her son Kingston after changing the spelling.Jalen becomes a popular name after rapper Jelly Roll. Naming after celebrities like Beyoncé or Charlamagne is a trend.

 

Others opt for names like Omarion, Kanye, and Nas, inspired by famous figures. One caller chose the name Shia after actor Shia LaBeouf.

Another named her son Phoenix Marley after Hendrix and Joaquin Phoenix. Some derive names from soap operas, like Stefano from “Days of Our Lives.”

Gender-neutral names like Peyton or Brooklyn challenge traditional norms. Personal experiences influence name choices, regardless of gender associations.

Listeners debate the versatility of names like Kingston or Brooklyn. The significance of a name’s meaning is a factor for many parents.

Names like Claudia or Leonard are less adaptable in gender perception. Some names, like Rashawn, are considered gender-neutral by some but not others.

Listeners share anecdotes about naming their children after celebrities or personal experiences.

The Breakfast Club hosts engage in banter about naming conventions and gender perceptions.

Ultimately, personal preference and significance shape parents’ choices in naming their children.

 

The conversation highlights the evolving nature of naming practices and gender perceptions in society.

Rihanna Just Wore The Tiniest $25 Lace Thong For Savage x Fenty

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Nearly every A-lister is trying to make  thongs happen, flaunting them under sheer dresses, showing off whale tails, or forgoing pants entirely. While the slinky piece can instantly boost someone’s confidence, thongs have always topped the list of least comfortable lingerie. And lacy thongs? Might as well prep the chafing cream.

That said, if there’s one celeb who can evangelize the lacy thong, it’s Rihanna. And, boy, did she do just that in her latest campaign for Savage x Fenty. Behold: Rih’s lacy ensemble with the tiniest thong you’ve ever seen.

Rihanna’s See-Through Lacy Set

The “Diamond” singer has been fronting her portfolio of brands’ campaigns for a hot minute now, which makes sense, since she is the best endorser in the industry. While they all cause quite the stir, no ads are ever as steamy as her lingerie label’s — her latest one included.

To launch the “Bold Lace” collection, which dropped on both SavageX.com and Nordstrom on Thursday, Aug. 15, RiRi wore an inky four-piece ensemble. Her underwire bra and thong were both covered in floral lace — unlined and positively see-through. To up the spicy ante, she also wore a matching lace garter around her waist which held up her thigh-high stockings. Paired with wet, curly blond hair, glossy lips, and a sparkly diamond-encrusted bracelet, it was a look.

A Moment For The Back

While every single piece in her look was risqué, extra props are needed for the pièce de résistance: the slinkiest thong you’ve ever seen. Even the garter’s straps offered more coverage than her actual panties, which, btw, retail for $25.
