Brittany Mahomes topped off her Super Bowl 2025 day outfit with the perfect lavish accessory.

The Kansas City Current co-owner, 29, wore a VRAI diamond necklace around her neck while cheering on her husband, Patrick Mahomes, 29, as his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, during the big game.

She donned the VRAI “Mixed Shape Double Strand Tennis Necklace,” which features two strings of diamonds in seven “distinctive shapes” — including baguette, hexagon and marquise — set in “14k solid gold” with a “box clasp closure.” According to VRAI’s website, the chain is 15.5” at its shortest length and is described as having “a statement-making” look.

The item retails on VRAI’s website for a whopping $73,000 and comes in white gold or yellow gold.

Brittany paired the show stopping necklace with an all-white outfit, which included a white corset and cropped white jacket with long, baggy sleeves, which she teamed with custom white cargo jeans. The wide-leg pants featured embellishments and the team name written in red down one of the legs. Designer Raquelle Pedraza shared on Instagram that she created the custom corset and jacket from Brittany’s “favorite” Re/Done pants.

Her outfit was initially revealed on Patrick’s brother Jackson Mahomes’ Instagram. He shared a photo of the pair posing in a box with a view of the field. He captioned the photo, “SUPER BOWL SUNDAY! #chiefskingdom.”

Additional photos of Brittany revealed that she was joined at the game by her and Patrick’s two oldest children Sterling Skye, 3, and Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 2, on the field. Both kids were also decked out in their Chiefs gear.

The couple also shares daughter Golden Raye Mahomes, who was born on Jan. 12. The couple announced her birth on Instagram with a black-and-white photo of the pair holding their baby daughter’s feet above a wooden sign that read her name. “•Golden Raye Mahomes• 1/12/25🎀✨,” they wrote in the caption.

Brittany touched down in New Orleans just days ago and went out for a double date with her husband and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift on Feb. 7. For their night out, Brittany wore a Chiefs red coat with red boots and carried a red bag, fully showing support for the Kansas City team.

Brittany has been showing off her Chiefs pride all season long, including when the team faced off against the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 15. During that game, she wore a neutral Prada puffer jacket, which retails for $3,150 and was customized to read “Chiefs” on the lower back in large silver block letters, courtesy of New York-based creative studio Lefty’s Right Mind.

When the Chiefs played the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 8, she also wore a white mock-neck top and jeans over a bright red patent leather coat. She paired that with another silver chain necklace.

Jayson Tatum’s 40-point night powers Celtics to road beatdown of Knicks

The New York Knicks entered Saturday night’s showdown at Madison Square Garden just a game and a half behind the Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings. They were, it seemed, a different team than the one that lost to Boston by 23 points back on opening night.

Apparently not.

Despite playing without two starters, the Celtics dealt their Atlantic Division rivals an even more emphatic beatdown, cruising to a 131-104 victory on the Knicks’ famed home floor.

Headlining the blowout win was one of Jayson Tatum’s finest performances of the season: 40 points on 13-of-26 shooting (7-of-14 from 3-point range), plus six assists and four rebounds.

Nineteen of Tatum’s points came in the third quarter as he moved past Jo Jo White and Dave Cowens and into ninth place on the Celtics’ all-time scoring list. He dominated his matchup against the Knicks’ top wing defender, Mikal Bridges, whom they traded five first-round picks to acquire, and consistently exploited mismatches against Karl-Anthony Towns, New York’s other big offseason addition.

“That was a special performance,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla told reporters postgame.

Payton Pritchard hit six of his eight 3-point attempts off the bench to finish with 25 pounds. Derrick White scored 17 and helped snuff out a third-quarter Knicks rally, and Luke Kornet, thrust into the starting lineup minutes before tipoff, turned in a 14-point, 12-rebound double-double with three blocks and one steal.

As a team, Boston outscored New York by 30 points on 3-point shots (19 makes to nine) while also owning a 48-30 edge in rebounding. The Knicks’ lone reliable scorer was All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson, who finished with 36 points on 18 field-goal attempts. Fellow All-Star starter Towns scored a season-low nine points against an undermanned Celtics frontcourt.

The win came four days after the Celtics handled the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers in another road victory, winning 112-105 in a game that was not as competitive as the final score suggested. Mazzulla’s squad, frustratingly inconsistent for a six-week stretch that began before Christmas and persisted through January, is 5-1 in its last six games and 8-3 in its last 11.

Here are five takeaways from Saturday’s result as Boston heads into its final two games before the All-Star break (at Miami on Monday; home vs. San Antonio on Wednesday):

1. Late lineup change

The Celtics expected to be without starting guard Jrue Holiday and newly signed reserve wing Torrey Craig against the Knicks. Holiday was ruled out for the second straight game due to a nagging shoulder injury, and Craig’s Boston debut was delayed as he continued to recover from an ankle sprain that’s sidelined him since Dec. 30.

Boston then learned after pregame warmups that it also would be without starting center Kristaps Porzingis, who was a late scratch with what the team called a non-COVID illness. It was the second time in three weeks that a starting Celtics big had been downgraded minutes before tipoff (Al Horford was the first, in a Jan. 18 loss to Atlanta).

Horford and Kornet started in place of Holiday and Porzingis. The Knicks were missing starting forward OG Anunoby (foot) and big man Mitchell Robinson (ankle), who has yet to play this season.

2. Kornet stays ready

In that aforementioned Hawks game, Kornet stepped into the starting lineup and delivered one of his best outings of the season (17 points, seven rebounds, four steals, two blocks). The 7-footer was similarly impactful Saturday night. Playing against the team that gave him his NBA start in 2017, he blocked two shots in the opening five minutes and grabbed eight rebounds in the first half alone, including three offensive boards.

Even with Porzingis unavailable, Mazzulla utilized double-big lineups for most of the game, with Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman also making appearances behind Kornet and Horford. In the first half, Kornet, Queta and Horford combined for four blocks and seven offensive rebounds and helped hold New York to 8-of-27 shooting inside the paint.

Kornet picked up his fourth foul early in the third quarter, however, and had to watch from the bench as New York ripped off a 12-2 run to cut a 13-point Celtics lead down to three. But the Knicks never closed the gap, and the Horford/Queta pairing eventually stabilized. By the time Kornet returned to the floor with 2:29 remaining in the third, Boston was back up by 17.

Kornet then scored eight points in the fourth — his most in any single quarter since Dec. 12 — to help the Celtics put the game away.

Though he struggles against certain matchups and doesn’t offer Porzingis’ and Horford’s perimeter shooting ability, Kornet quietly has put together a very good season as a core reserve and spot starter. The 29-year-old entered Saturday ranked in the top 10 among NBA qualifiers in a slew of advanced metrics, including fifth in net rating and true shooting percentage and eighth in assist-to-turnover ratio and offensive rebounding percentage.

Queta finished with 11 points and eight rebounds in 26 minutes.

3. White stems the tide

Tatum’s 19 points were the story of the third quarter, but White’s 14 were just as important, if not more so.

The Celtics were trying to hold off the Knicks’ strongest surge of the night when White elevated for a three at the end of the shot clock and drew a foul on Miles McBride. After making all three free throws, White scored a backdoor layup on the ensuing possession, teamed up with Queta to block a Towns shot under the basket and then hit a three less than a minute later. That flurry erased all of New York’s momentum and sparked a 19-3 Celtics run.

White (4-for-7 from three in the game) also assisted on Tatum’s last two field goals of the quarter, which ended with Boston holding a 96-76 lead. White has shot better than 40% from beyond the arc in six of his last seven games, shaking off the shooting slump that limited his effectiveness for much of January.

4. Pritchard can’t miss

After helping power an ill-fated fourth-quarter comeback against Dallas on Thursday, Pritchard was sensational in the second quarter at MSG. The Sixth Man of the Year favorite scored 14 points in the frame on 5-of-7 shooting — three 3-pointers, a jumper in the lane and a heads-up layup after salvaging what initially appeared to be a Jaylen Brown turnover.

Pritchard added another 11 points in the fourth as the Celtics’ stretched their lead to 35. Boston was able to empty its bench with 4:31 to play.

After scoring 10 or fewer points in 10 of his 15 games in January, Pritchard now has posted back-to-back 20-point showings, looking more like the elite off-the-bench weapon he was for the first two months of the season.

“He means everything,” Tatum said in a postgame interview with ESPN’s Cassidy Hubbarth. “When guys are out — we didn’t have KP — we need everybody to step up, and (Pritchard has) done an unbelievable job since he’s been with the team, and he’s getting better every year. He should be the Sixth Man of the Year.”

5. Bounce-back Boston

The Celtics now are 15-1 in games after losses this season. They’re also 21-6 away from TD Garden, the best road record of any NBA team.

Kyle Kuzma is pushing the pace after being traded to the Bucks

With 12 seconds to go in the first quarter of the Milwaukee Bucks’ 135-127 win against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, Kyle Kuzma buried a deep fadeaway 3-pointer from the left wing. Then, with three ticks left, he caught everyone by surprise, firing a floor-length pass from under the Bucks’ basket to Gary Trent, Jr. The ball went out of bounds off a 76er, leading to a buzzer-beating lay-in by Kuzma on the ensuing out-of-bounds play.

The sequence saw Kuzma score the Milwaukee Bucks’ final five points of the quarter. It also spotlighted the frenetic pace Kuzma, acquired by trade last week for Bucks stalwart Khris Middleton, has already brought in his first two games with Milwaukee.

“We want him to stay being an athlete,” coach Doc Rivers said after the Bucks’ win.

Rivers noted that Kuzma will take time learning the finer points of the team’s offensive and defensive schemes. For now, he’s largely acting on instinct and speeding up the Bucks’ attack. Kuzma played the entire first quarter, often initiating the offense with drives to the basket.

On one set, his dribble drive into the center of the lane drew Joel Embiid off of his man, Bucks center Brook Lopez. Lopez popped back behind the arc, where Kuzma hit him for one of his five assists.

“He just understands the game, you know,” said point guard Damian Lillard, who lit up the 76ers for 43 points on 8-for-15 shooting from 3-point range. “And he knows how to be effective and how to find his way.”

With Giannis Antetokounmpo out for the next week or longer with a left calf strain, the Bucks had to rely on others to make up for their superstar’s 12 rebounds a game. The 6-foot-10 Kuzma snared 8 boards, as did the smaller Lillard. They contributed to a 53-42 rebounding edge over the 76ers, who lost despite having their Big Three of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey.

Kuzma was far from perfect. On some of his drives, he got out of control and turned it over. Once, he shook Embiid and had an open lane to the hoop, only to get rejected by the rim on a dunk attempt. After his hot shooting first quarter, he cooled significantly, ending at 5-for-13 from the field and just 1-for-6 from three-point range.

Ultimately, it didn’t matter in a game where the Bucks hit 24 three-pointers on 43.6% shooting from downtown. Kuzma’s aggressive, attacking style seemed to help open up the offense, a key reason the franchise brought him over.

“We played with good pace,” Lillard said. “The ball was moving. It was just a good flow to the game.”

Next up: a back-to-back at home Monday night against the Warriors.

Mavericks Finally Reveal Real Reason For Trading Luka Doncic To Lakers

 

Mavericks Finally Reveal Real Reason For Trading Luka Doncic To Lakers

The Dallas Mavericks made a seismic shift in their organizational direction by trading superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025. The move sent shockwaves through the NBA community and marked a dramatic turning point for the franchise.

Patrick Dumont, who purchased the majority stake from Mark Cuban in 2024, defended the controversial decision by pointing to team culture and work ethic concerns. His comments sparked significant debate among basketball analysts and fans alike.

“In my mind the way teams win is by focus, by having the right character, by having the right culture, and having the right dedication to work as hard as possible to create a championship-winning outcome,” Dumont said. “And if you’re not doing that, you’re going to lose.”

He didn’t stop there, though.

“If you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with — Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Shaq — they worked really hard, every day, with a singular focus to win. And if you don’t have that, it doesn’t work. And if you don’t have that, you shouldn’t be part of the Dallas Mavericks,” Dumont continued, before concluding by saying, “if you want to take a vacation, don’t do it with us.”

The trade represents one of the most significant moves in recent NBA history. Doncic, a generational talent who consistently posted elite numbers for Dallas, had led the Mavericks to multiple playoff appearances and established himself as one of the league’s premier players.

Key Timeline Events:

2024: Patrick Dumont purchases Mavericks from Mark Cuban

2025: Doncic traded to Los Angeles Lakers

2025: Front office cites cultural fit as primary trade motivation

Fan reaction to the trade has been overwhelmingly negative. Many supporters question the wisdom of trading away a franchise cornerstone who had become the face of Dallas basketball.

The Mavericks’ leadership drew particular criticism for their assessment of player work ethics and championship culture. Basketball experts noted several contradictions in their stated reasoning, particularly regarding historical comparisons to NBA legends.

This move marks a stark departure from the Mavericks’ previous strategy of building around Doncic. The team had previously acquired Kyrie Irving and made various roster adjustments to complement their European star.

The decision carries significant implications for the Mavericks’ future. Beyond the immediate basketball impact, it affects their ability to attract free agents and maintain fan engagement in a competitive sports market.

Professional analysts have raised questions about the front office’s basketball knowledge and decision-making process. The evaluation criteria used to justify the trade has faced intense scrutiny from media members and former players.

The timing of the trade adds another layer of complexity, as it occurred while Doncic was still under contract and performing at an elite level. This unusual circumstance has led to widespread speculation about behind-the-scenes factors that influenced the decision.

Disney Studios

This time around, Hawaiian newcomer Maia Kealoha plays the role of Lilo. “When I found out I was going to be Lilo, my jaw literally dropped and I couldn’t even believe it. I rung my dad and I said, ‘I did it! I’m Lilo! I’m Lilo!’ And then they grabbed me and we jumped up and down. I was so excited,” Kealoha told PEOPLE in May 2024.

As for Stitch, the character will be voiced by Chris Sanders, the voice actor, filmmaker and animator who originally created the character and co-wrote and co-directed the animated film with Dean DeBlois.

Sanders told Collider in September he always hoped the movie’s “story and characters would have staying power, and I’m really glad that they have.”

“I’ve never stopped doing the voice. I do it for all the different stage shows and parades and everything, and it’s nice to, several times a year, be able to revisit that character,” he said.

Additional cast members include Sydney Agudong, who plays Nani, Lilo’s sister, and Kahiau Machado as David Kawena, Nani’s love interest and Lilo’s friend.

Inside the hectic life of Australia’s biggest family

When Jeni first met her husband Ray, she was certain of one thing — she never wanted children.

“Ray wanted at least four kids. I thought that was crazy. Like, who has that many children?” Jeni told Mamamia.

Now, over three decades later, they are the proud parents of 16 children.

$600 every week on groceries

If you’re from Australia, you might have heard of them, but for me, it was a real shock when I first started reading about The Bonell Family.

Life for the Bonell family, who are raising 16 kids in Australia, is anything but ordinary. From feeding their large brood to coordinating the chaos of daily life, Jeni and Ray Bonell have mastered the art of juggling it all — and with a healthy dose of humor, too.

The Bonell family, from Queensland’s Toowoomba, is made up of nine boys and seven girls – Jesse, 35, Brooke, 34, Claire, 31, Natalie, 30, Karl, 28, Samuel, 26, Cameron, 25, Sabrina, 24, Tim, 22, Brandon, 20, Eve, 19, Nate, 17, Rachel, 16, Eric, 15, Damian, 14 and Katelyn, 10.

Comedian Jim Gaffigan once joked, “You know what it’s like having a fourth kid? Imagine you’re drowning, then someone hands you a baby.” So what’s it like to have sixteen kids?

Jeni, the mother at the helm, spends a staggering $600 every week on groceries just to keep their pantry stocked. With inflation hitting hard, that budget has crept up by $50. For a family of 18 (with 8 kids still living at home), it takes a lot to keep everyone well-fed.

The weekly grocery list is nothing short of impressive: 17 three-litre bottles of milk, 14 boxes of cereal, 45 tubs of yogurt, and a whopping four dozen eggs.

“We go through 50 litres of milk each week and one to two loaves of bread every day,” says Jeni.

Getting a good family photo is difficult

It’s a logistical nightmare for anyone, but for the Bonells, it’s all part of the rhythm of life. The Bonell family’s home life is a carefully choreographed routine.

“Getting a good family photo is difficult,” says Jeni, laughing. “You need an extra-wide lens, and there’s always someone looking away, pulling a funny face, or with their eyes closed. But we enjoy those little quirks in the photos. They’re not picture perfect, but that’s part of the fun.”

With 16 kids, it’s not just about taking photos — it’s about keeping up with the whirlwind of daily life.

Imagine having 16 kids, a full-time job, part-time jobs, and a household to run. That’s the reality for Jeni and Ray.

“I used to think life was busy with little kids,” says Jeni, “but I’m certainly busier these days with older children.” Between coordinating three different schools, sporting activities, part-time jobs, and the older kids’ studies, it’s a juggling act. And yet, Jeni wouldn’t have it any other way. “Life is very hectic – but it’s good.”

The evening routine in their home is a perfect reflection of the Bonell family dynamic. “Take an average-sized family and multiply it by eight, and that’s what our evening routine is like,” Jeni laughs.

Stretching every dollar

Some nights it’s total chaos; other nights, everything falls into place like a well-oiled machine. But regardless of how the evening unfolds, one thing is always consistent: dinner time. “Dinner is always great,” Jeni explains. “Some nights we have eight people at the table, other nights we have more than 20!”

The Bonells are pros at stretching every dollar. Jeni is known for her budget-friendly meals that cost between $2 and $10. She often shares her grocery trips on YouTube to help others manage their food costs.

“It’s a struggle for everyone at the moment,” says Jeni, “We’re all feeling that pinch with the budget.” To stay organized, Jeni uses a chore chart to divide household responsibilities, making sure everyone from age eight upwards pitches in. The kids are also taught to cook from a young age. “Our 12-year-old can put a roast dinner on for 20 people with almost no supervision,” Jeni says with pride.

The laundry load in a house like theirs is equally immense. Jeni does three full loads of laundry every day, which amounts to about six average-sized loads. And when it comes to grocery shopping, Jeni fills up two trolleys each week. “I always need one of the kids to help with the load,” she says.

The Bonell Family religion

When it comes to their finances, the Bonells have learned to make sacrifices. While they pay off their home mortgage, the financial pressures are still real. “It’s expensive and you definitely have to make sacrifices with your budget,” says Jeni. “But we all work, and our family doesn’t live off the taxpayer. However, we do get a lot of criticism for having so many kids.”

Although the Bonells are deeply religious and regularly attend church, Jeni insists that their large family isn’t solely the result of their strong faith.

“God has a funny sense of humour,” says Jeni. They have no regrets, though. ”It just feels right for us,” says Ray, who works as an electrician. ”People have to do what’s right for them. Having 16 kids is not for everyone, but it’s what works for us.”

Despite their busy lives, Jeni and Ray find moments for themselves. “Do I get alone time with my wife? Of course, I do. We make time for each other,” says Ray with a smile. “It’s important to look after each other.”

Their two older children have now left home and are married, adding to the family dynamic as Jeni and Ray become grandparents to two grandchildren. It’s proof that the Bonell family just keeps growing. But with each addition, the love, laughter, and sense of togetherness only deepen.

Inside their roster system

In a family where organization is key, the Bonells have developed a solid routine. From prepping school uniforms and lunches the night before to creating a rotation system for chores, the Bonells make it work.

“We have a roster system, so when a kid turns eight, they get put on the roster,” says Jeni. “They rotate through chores like sweeping, mopping the floor, packing up the table, and helping with meal prep.”

When it comes to snacks, Jeni has a few favorites she shares with fans on YouTube, including air fryer egg cups and air fryer pizza bites. Both snacks are simple to prepare, freeze well, and are perfect for school lunches.

For the Bonells, it’s all about creating a system that allows everyone to pitch in and contribute. And despite the chaos of managing a household of 16, it’s clear that love, teamwork, and humor keep the Bonell family thriving.

Whether it’s feeding the kids, running a household, or finding time for a quick coffee date, the Bonells make it all work — and they do it with a smile.

At the end of the day, the Bonell family proves that with a little creativity, a lot of organization, and plenty of love, you can make just about anything work. Sure, raising 16 kids isn’t easy, but for Jeni and Ray, it’s all part of the adventure.

Whether it’s sharing tips on how to feed a crowd on a budget, keeping up with the endless laundry, or just enjoying the chaos of family life, the Bonells know how to make it happen. And through it all, they’re creating a home full of memories, laughter, and endless love. If there’s one thing we can all take away from this, it’s that family, no matter how big, is always worth it.

The Voice Coach stepped up big time and helped save the day in a small way.

What do Suits alum Meghan Markle, Grammy winner Billie Eilish, and The Voice’s Adam Levine have in common?

The three stars recently banded together to help a young fan who needed help the most!

In a February 4 Instagram post, Markle told the story of a chance encounter that ended up having one of the sweetest happy endings ever. The Duchess of Sussex, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, explained that a few weeks ago, she and her husband, Prince Harry, recently visited Altadena, California —  a community that was destroyed due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

While there, Markle said she met a mother and daughter surveying the damage to their own home, and that’s when an unlikely bond was made.

“Her mom shared something with me, and said that when they came back to see their house for the first time, which is as we were meeting them, that all she’d been looking for in her home was the T-shirt from the Billie Eilish concert that she had just gone to,” she explained in her Instagram video. “And of course they now see their home and the washing machine, their dryer, are ash. They’re not there anymore.”

Meghan Markle’s plea was answered by Adam Levine

Markle quickly formulated a plan, although it was one that she wasn’t even sure would work.

“And so I said, ‘I don’t know Billie Eilish, but I’m going to figure out how to get you this shirt,’” she recalled. “So I thought of everybody that I knew and I made a voice note and I was like, ‘Please, can someone get this voice note to Billie Eilish? Here’s what I’m asking.’”

As it turns out, although Eilish didn’t hear her voice note directly. It was actually the Maroon 5 frontman himself, and he apparently made sure the message got to the 23-year-old pop sensation immediately. (Talk about knowing the right people at the right time.)

The teenage fan’s haul is genuinely impressive, from signed tour shirts to a blue lunch box that caused the former Suits star to quip, “Is that a thing?”

Ultimately, a group effort between three amazing people from different walks of life made one family’s harrowing experience less painful.

“To everyone who is showing up for people in big and small ways to get through what’s happened in California — just thank you so much,” Markle said. “I’m going to go and email her mom now. Just wanted to share that with you guys.”

Super Bowl rigged claims surface as Tom Brady calls refs into question after controversy

 

AJ Brown’s huge gainer for the Eagles was called back by the officials, leaving Tom Brady baffled© Reach Publishing Services Limited

Tom Brady admitted he did not like the call from the officials after bringing back a huge gain for Philadelphia Eagles’ AJ Brown on the first drive of the Super Bowl.

On 4th-and-2, Eagles quarterback threw it up to Brown as he managed to bring down the catch, but the referee had thrown a flag immediately. Replays had shown that Brown had made contact with Trent McDuffie’s helmet, but it had only been minimal. The referee’s had called offensive pass interference, bringing it back 10 yards and forcing the Eagles to punt.

Brady, as well as former official Mike Pereira had disagreed with the call, as the legendary quarterback had said: “I don’t like that call at all, so early in the game.”

In the Eagles second drive though, the officials appeared to more than make up for their previous call against them. On a third down play, the referee’s had called McDuffie for a pass interference of his own after hitting Dallas Goedert in the head, again which looked to be minimal contact.

After that penalty, Brady had said: “I don’t like that one either. I just think you throw the ball high and he barely gets hit by the defense.”

Both sets of fans had complained about the calls against their teams, with the general consensus appearing to be that both should not have been called for penalties.

Many have argued that the Chiefs have been on the receiving end of some favorable calls throughout the playoffs this season, with commissioner Roger Goodell even addressing the idea that the NFL might be rigged in their favor.

Goodell said: “This sort of reminds me a little bit of the script… That I write a script, and I have the script for the entire season … I think it reflects a lot of the fans’ passion, and I think it also is a reminder for us how important officiating is. And I think the men and women that officiate the NFL are outstanding. They have the highest possible standards.

“Our officials are evaluated in several ways. It’s not just the performance on the field, but it’s things that go on in their own lives, and we have a very tight control over that. We monitor that very closely in a number of ways.”

As has become tradition, the Season 27 Coaches on The Voice are welcoming Artists to their teams with gifts. Kelsea Ballerini is giving hers brown cowboy boots with “V S27” on the heels and “Team Kelsea” at the top, a clear nod to her roots in Nashville. But what’s up with Coach Adam Levine’s sweaters for his Artists? Here’s what we know:

Adam Levine’s The Voice Season 27 gift for his team

As we saw on the premiere episode, Adam Levine’s recruits, like Darius J and Ethan Eckenroad, received distressed white sweatshirts with a graffiti-style scowling unicorn on the front. The unicorn has a rainbow mane and a spiked choker, and there are punk-y, tattoo-y insignias all over the garment. Levine himself is clearly a fan of getting inked and has over a dozen tats.

So, what is that? Well, the hoodies are from the streetwear brand Friendly Unicorn (it’s no coincidence that the initials are a cheeky “FU”), which Levine has worn, including in the “Beautiful Mistakes” video, and which was sold in a pop-up at the Maroon 5 residency in Las Vegas. Levine is a partner of the brand and told People in 2021, “Friendly Unicorn makes these extremely comfortable and great quality shorts that you can wear around the house or out on a hike. I live in sweats, and these are my favorite. Plus, they have a very cool, unique design.”

On the back of Levine’s special Team Adam hoodies, it says “The Voice: Team Adam,” with a few more unicorn sketches.

Adam Levine is back with a vengeance on The Voice

The OG Coach hasn’t lost a step since his years-long hiatus from the red chairs. In June 2024, he took to Instagram to tease his return. “I’m so excited. I cannot wait. I’m well-rested. I’m ready to go. I’m a little nervous — I’m not nervous — but I’m so excited,” he said. “It’s going to be great, and I can’t wait. It’s going to be awesome, let’s go! Team Adam is back!”

“I feel bad for other teams,” Levine added. Maybe this unicorn isn’t so friendly?

Donald Trump launched a parting social media salvo at Taylor Swift as he bailed on the Super Bowl early after

The president roasted the pop star for being booed while he was cheered at the New Orleans Superdome in a ruthless post on his Truth Social platform.

Trump shared contrasting videos of the rapturous applause he received compared to the boos Swift received when she was shown on the big screen.

He shared another user’s post with the caption: ‘Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.’

His social media trolling only heaped more misery on the evening for Swift as she watched her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs being dismantled by the Philadelphia Eagles in a 40-14 defeat.

It comes despite Trump having predicted glory for the Chiefs and commending their Trump supporting quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The president was snubbed by the Eagles in 2018 when they refused to attend the White House following their Super Bowl win.

Trump and Swift have feuded for years, with the superstar singer having endorsed both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris over Trump in the past two elections.

Trump apparently had given up on his prediction that the Chiefs would beat the Eagles, leaving shortly after halftime.

The president was roundly applauded as he strolled the sidelines and was shown in a booth with the rich and powerful at America’s biggest sporting event. Conversely, Swift was left stunned after being met with emphatic booing at the Caesars Superdome when she appeared on the jumbotron for the first time on Sunday night

His departure after the break was expected, however. Mahomes´ mother, brother and sister posed for a photo with Trump in his suite before he left.

In September, Trump said he hates Taylor Swift after the pop star endorsed Harris.

‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!’ the former president lamented on his social media website Truth Social on Sunday.

It comes just five days after Swift said in a lengthy Instagram post that she would be voting for Harris in November. However, she did not attack or call out Trump personally.

She also encouraged her millions of followers to do their research on the election and register to vote with a link she shared of vote.gov on her Instagram story sharing her grid post.

Trump and Swift were nominally on the same side Sunday, however, as he had predicted that the Chiefs will win their third straight Super Bowl on Sunday.

He praised the team’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, claiming that he had their support in his 2024 presidential bid.

‘I hate to do it,’ Trump said of guessing whether the Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles would win Super Bowl 59.

‘I guess you have to say that when a quarterback wins as much as he’s won – I have to go with Kansas City,’ the president told Fox News Bret Baier in clips played ahead of the big game. ‘At the same time, Philadelphia is fantastic, it’s going to be just a great game.’

Trump went on to praise Mahomes and his wife, who are widely popular but who are rumored to be Trump fans.

The president sent crowds wild tonight as he took to the field and made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl game.

He strode onto the field with his daughter Ivanka and son Eric to shake hands with players and local cops before kickoff at the New Orleans Superdome.

The president posed for photos with family members of victims in the New Year’s Eve ISIS attack on Bourbon Street and emergency responders and waved to the cheering crowd.

Trump was also spotted shaking hands with Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones, one of the many three-time Super Bowl winners hoping to make it four against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The president then headed up to his seats and mingled with Benson and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Trump, who was inaugurated just three weeks ago after his seismic election victory, was attending as a fan of the Chiefs.

In an interview that aired just hours before the game, Trump praised the team’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes – a MAGA supporter. It comes after the Eagles in 2018 refused to attend Trump’s White House following their Super Bowl win.
