Well, it looks like the Swift and Kelce families are getting along nicely. Taylor Swift brought her family and her possible-future-in-laws together on Saturday at the AFC playoff game in Kansas City and, honestly, they looked like one big, happy family.

Swift invited her whole family—her mom, Andrea Swift, dad, Scott Swift, and younger brother, Austin Swift—to join her and Travis Kelce’s parents, Donna and Ed Kelce, in their private suite at Arrowhead Stadium to watch the Kansas City Chiefs’ Jan. 18 game against the Houston Texans.

The Swifts went all out showing their support for the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer’s boyfriend and were all decked out head-to-toe in Chiefs’ merch when they were seen arriving at the stadium—all except Taylor, that is, who was decked out in $16,500 worth of head-to-toe Chanel for the game.

This is just the latest example of the Swifts and Kelces coming together as one big family unit. In November, Swift’s parents reportedly hosted a joint family Thanksgiving dinner.

“Taylor and Travis had a great Thanksgiving together with their families,” a source told People at the time. “It’s the first Thanksgiving they celebrated together.”

The People source went on to add that Travis’s older brother, Jason Kelce, “was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.”

The joint family appearance at the Chiefs game came amid increasing reports that Swift and Kelce’s relationship is getting very serious—and speculation about an impending engagement for the two.

In December, a source close to the pair told the Daily Mail that the pair were planning to make Nashville their home base for the time being and that “falling in love with Travis so deeply has shifted [Swift’s] priorities around a bit and has given her a new outlook on life.”

“Ideally, she and Travis will live together in one home as they start a family,” the source added, alluding to the couple’s future plans for the relationship. “This is no different than any other couple with a family.”

Electrifying Moment! Mic’d Up Travis Kelce Loses Himself in the Unmatched Playoff Magic at Arrowhead—Fans Can’t Get Enough!

Travis Kelce doesn’t know how many playoff moments he’ll have left.

At 35, Kelce has already put together a career that could probably put him in the Hall of Fame twice over, and questions over how long he’d continue his push with the Chiefs dynasty have come up more frequently since his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.

Kelce has given no direct indication that he plans on hanging up his cleats in the immediate future, both in his words off the field and his impressive play on it. But he’s also not taking moments for granted through this playoff run with the Chiefs.

A mic’d up Kelce could be heard appreciating the moment and the atmosphere of Arrowhead Stadium during the Chiefs win over the Texans in the divisional round.

“This place is f—— rocking today. There’s nothing like playoff atmosphere man. That’s the most fun you could ever have in life,” Kelce told one of his teammates on the bench. “We’ve only got so many of these. Can never lose sight of that. No matter how hard it is, you’ve got to embrace how hard it is and really enjoy it. Only way to do it.”

Kelce has already had plenty of huge moments—you don’t get to chase a three-peat unless you repeat as Super Bowl champions first—but it’s clear he still finds magic in the one-of-a-kind atmosphere that is playoff football.

Heartfelt Farewell: Roger Daltrey, Jon Bon Jovi, Sammy Hagar, and More Honor the Legendary “Soul Man” Sam Moore in Emotional Tributes

The music world is mourning the loss of Sam Moore of the legendary soul duo Sam & Dave, who died on Friday, January 13, at age 89 from complications experienced during a medical procedure.

Moore is best-known for some of the classic soul hits he recorded during the late 1960s as half of the duo Sam & Dave, along with Dave Prater, including “Soul Man” and “I Thank You.” After Sam & Dave split in 1981, Moore continued to perform and record, working with a wide variety of other music stars over the years. Moore was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Sam & Dave in 1992.

Sam’s powerful and emotive voice greatly influenced and inspired plenty of other well-known music artists. Here are a few of the tributes that have been pouring in from other famous singers:

The Who’s Roger Daltrey

Who frontman Roger Daltrey paid homage to Moore in a note that was posted on the band’s official website and social media pages.

“When I think back to my teenage years and the sounds of the records which would eventually shape my life to come, Sam Moore’s voice still rings fresh in my ears,” Daltrey wrote. “His pure soul voice was inspirational to me. Thank you, Sam for the great music.”

Jon Bon Jovi

Jon Bon Jovi posted two photos on his socials of him performing with Moore, along with a message sharing his admiration for the singer. He also revealed that a milestone his and his wife’s relationship involved Moore.

“Sam Moore, the Soulman, one of the pioneers and greatest singers ever has left us,” Jon wrote. “I’m not saddened as much as I felt incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to be in his presence.”

He continued, “Having had the opportunity to perform and even record with Sam was humbling and an honor … But knowing that I convinced Dorothea to come on what was our first date to see Sam and Dave [i]n the spring of 1980 at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park was one of my fondest memories.”

Bon Jovi concluded, “Sending my luv to his wonderful wife Joyce … And imagining that heaven sounds a little better with the voice of an Angel. Much luv Soulman.”

Incidentally, Jon was one of the guest singers on Moore’s star-studded 2006 solo album, Overnight Sensational. The two vocalists recorded a duet version of “Lookin’ for a Love,” a R&B hit that was a The Valentinos, Bobby Womack and The J. Geils Band.

Paul Rodgers

Another well-known singer featured on the Overnight Sensational album was Paul Rodgers, of Free and Bad Company fame. Interestingly, Rodgers teamed up with Moore on a rendition of the 1992 Garth Brooks song “We Shall Be Free.”

Paul posted a photo on his social media pages of him and Sam together, along with a heartfelt message.

“We are shocked!” Rogers wrote. “You were beautiful, so full of life and energy, so giving and loving. As a one of a kind singer and as a man you taught me so much. You have left an imprint on our hearts permanently. Brother, I will miss you until we meet again in heaven. Joyce and family we stand with you in tears, our condolences and love.”

Rodgers also included a cover of “I Thank You” on his 2014 solo album, The Royal Sessions. The album featured Paul’s renditions of various soul, R&B, and blues tunes recorded at the famed Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.

Sammy Hagar

Sammy Hagar posted a tribute to Moore on his socials while also acknowledging the plight of those affected by the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area. The Red Rocker also shared a video of him and Sam rehearsing a version pf “Soul Man” for the Keep Memory Alive charity’s 2023 Power of Love benefit concert in Las Vegas.

“I know there’s so much heartbreak and devastation going on in southern California right now, but I have to share the passing of @legendarysammoore,” Sammy wrote. “The original soul man has left us to join his many brothers and sisters in the afterlife.”

Hagar then commented about the video he posted, “This once in a lifetime experience [I] had rehearsing in Las Vegas for the wonderful [Keep Memory Alive] event is one of the highlights of my musical collaborations. Here in his mid 80s that voice, that voice, that voice. [R]est in peace, soul, brother. Love and prayers to Joyce and the family.”

Steven Van Zandt

E Street Band guitarist “Little Steven” Van Zandt also paid homage to Moore on his social media pages.

“RIP Sam Moore. One of the last of the great Soul Men,” Van Zandt wrote. “Him and Dave Prater were the inspiration for me and Johnny [Lyon] to start Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. An important righteous wonderful man,”

Dolly Parton is ready to prove that her way with words extends beyond songs. In early 2022, she’ll release her first novel, Run, Rose, Run.

The country music megastar has teamed up with bestselling mystery author James Patterson to put together a Nashville-based thriller about a young singer-songwriter with a dark secret. “She’s a star on the rise, singing about the hard life behind her,” explains a description on publisher Little, Brown and Company’s website.

“Nashville is where she’s come to claim her destiny,” the description adds. “It’s also where the darkness she’s fled might find her. And destroy her.”

Says Parton said in a statement to People, “I cannot be more excited about the release of my very first novel.” Adds Patterson, “It’s been an honor — and a hell of a lot of fun — to work with the inimitable Dolly Parton, whom I’ve long admired for her music, her storytelling, and her enormous generosity.”

Little, Brown and Company

Though Parton has a habit of venturing beyond music, she never leaves those roots far behind — and she won’t with Run, Rose, Run, either. In addition to the book’s music-focused plot, it will arrive in tandem with an album of 12 original songs, “based on the characters and situations in the book,” by Parton.

“The mind-blowing thing about this project is that reading the novel is enhanced by listening to the album and vice versa,” says Patterson. “It’s a really unique experience that I know readers (and listeners) will love.”

Both the Run, Rose, Run book and album are set for release on March 7, 2022.

During his Saturday, Jan. 18 concert at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., Timberlake paused the Forget Tomorrow World Tour stop to call attention to the fires that continue to burn in L.A.

While on stage at the venue, about 30 miles away from the ongoing blazes, the “Cry Me a River” singer commended the efforts of those fighting the fires and helping others cope in the aftermath.

“I want to take a moment to recognize what’s going on in L.A. I want to give a shout-out to the first responders, firefighters, citizens of the community, all that you gave,” Timberlake said.

He continued, “I’m sure so many of us in this room know someone, or is related to someone, or has heard about someone so close to us being affected by this devastating incident. And so many of us onstage either live there and in the crew know people who live there, and we just came from there, and it truly is devastating.”

Despite the nature of the tragedy that continues to unfold, Timberlake called attention to the silver linings — how in times of crisis, people from all walks of life find a way to come together to help others.

“I just wanted to recognize how beautiful it is, how well everyone has responded in that area,” he concluded. “And I just wanted to say: Keep your thoughts and prayers with L.A. Donate if you can — if you can — but thoughts and prayers with L.A. Thank you so much, Anaheim.”

Timberlake’s tour began on April 29 in Vancouver, following the release of his album, Everything I Thought It Was, in March. His next stop will take him further from the L.A. fires to Palm Desert, Calif. on Monday, Jan. 20.

The wildfires began in L.A. on Jan. 7, following “red flag” warnings for high winds and dry weather, and has since been dubbed the most destructive firestorm in the city’s history.

The two major fires, the Eaton and Palisades fires, are at 73% and 59% containment as of Monday afternoon. Thousands have lost their homes, and tens of thousands remain under evacuation orders.

Fans are all saying the same thing as Brittany Mahomes gives husband Patrick a good luck kiss at Chiefs playoffs game less than a week after giving birth

 

 

Love is in the air — and on the football field.

Freshly postpartum Brittany Mahomes was spotted giving Patrick Mahomes good luck kisses shortly before kickoff at the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Houston Texans on Saturday.

“Love you! Good luck. Love you!” Brittany, 29, sweetly told her star quarterback husband, also 29, with some smooches in between.

The high school sweethearts welcomed their third child — and second daughter — into their family on Jan. 12, meaning Brittany was back in action supporting her man from the sidelines just six days after giving birth.

Their new daughter, Golden Raye, is now the younger sibling of sister Sterling, 3, and brother Bronze, 2.

Golden was born during a bye week for the Chiefs, meaning Patrick could be present for her birth.

 

“It was cool that we got the bye [week] just because you can kind of really focus in on just being at the hospital, being in the moment,” the three-time Super Bowl champion gushed during a press conference on Tuesday.

“It’s a special moment that a lot of dads and moms experience. And you don’t forget that stuff.”

He also praised Brittany, saying she “crushed it” during delivery, and said it was “fun” to see his other two kids become older siblings.

And even though Patrick previously said he was “done” having kids, he admitted he would “maybe” have a fourth.

“We’ll stick there for a while and see if we need to come back and get another one later on,” he explained.

In the meantime, newborn Golden has a lot of love around her — including from Taylor Swift.

Page Six learned the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker, 35, is “looking forward to meeting” the little one and gifted her a handmade blanket.

“[It’s] something she loves doing and something that can’t be bought. It comes from the heart,” a source told us.

Patrick Mahomes is riding high these days, balancing a personal and professional life that seems to be going just right. Not only did he recently welcome his third child into the world, but his Kansas City Chiefs are also in a great spot, securing a 23-14 victory that pushed them into the AFC title game once again. Despite being outgained by over 100 yards, Mahomes and his team managed to hold it together when it mattered most.

But there’s one part of Mahomes’ job he can’t escape: the press conference. After every game, the star quarterback steps into the room to face the media and share his thoughts. This time, though, he had more than just the game on his mind. An unexpected interruption made focusing on his answers a little trickier than usual.

An unexpected distraction steals the spotlight

As it turns out, the interruption came from none other than Mahomes’ son, Bronze. The little guy couldn’t resist making his presence known during his dad’s time in the spotlight. While Patrick was speaking to the press, Bronze chimed in, chatting away with an adorable sense of curiosity. In a moment that had everyone smiling, Patrick lost his cool-in the most charming way possible.

Brittany Mahomes, who had recently given birth to their daughter Golden Raye, was looking absolutely stunning, but you could tell she had little energy left to deal with the relentless antics of Bronze. Patrick eventually had to step in, gently scolding his son with a smile. It was a moment that reminded everyone that Mahomes is not just a superstar quarterback, but a hands-on dad trying to juggle it all.

A hands-on dad in action

Bronze has always been the one with the mischievous streak, and Brittany has been all too happy to share his playful side with her followers on Instagram. The little guy is known for his funny, rebellious attitude and his adorable antics. But no matter how much trouble he gets into, it’s clear that Brittany has a soft spot for her son. You can see it in every photo and video she posts-he’s clearly her favorite little boy, even when he’s driving her crazy.

Throughout it all, Patrick and Brittany continue to prove that family is their top priority. They juggle the demands of high-profile careers with the joy and responsibility of raising their kids, always keeping their well-being at the forefront. Whether it’s football games or family moments, the Mahomes family has found a perfect balance that works for them, showing that being great parents and professionals can go hand in hand

 

Brittany Mahomes sends social media wild with surprise appearance at husband Patrick’s press conference

 Brittany Mahomes stunned fans with a surprise appearance at her husband Patrick’s postgame press conference just six days after the couple welcomed their third child.  

Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs kept their Super Bowl three-peat hopes alive with a 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans in the NFL Divisional Round Saturday.

As the Chiefs kickstarted their latest playoff campaign, Brittany was there to support her husband, despite giving birth to their third child and second daughter Golden Raye just last Sunday.

Mere days after giving birth, the mother-of-three made sure she had a front row seat as the quarterback fielded questions from the media following the victory.

In clips shared to social media, the former soccer player was spotted sat on the floor with her two eldest children – Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 2, – while Mahomes spoke from the podium.

And many fans on social media were left amazed at Brittany’s ability to juggle cheerleading duties as a new mom.

‘Props to Brittany being there right after baby number 3,’ one user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

‘She just gave birth and out there looking fab. Wow,’ another said as a third added: ‘Precious! Brittany was glowing!’

‘So Brittany gave birth less than a week ago and she is out there supporting her man with her kids? Who is the super women,’ another fan praised.

‘More impressive is his wife who gave birth less than a week ago! Go Brittany,’ one amazed user wrote, while another agreed adding: ‘I am most impressed by Brittney sitting on the floor 6 days after having a baby!’

Sterling and Bronze were captured intently watching their dad, adorably clinging on to every word he said.

Once he wrapped up, they ran up to him with Mahomes lifting Sterling into his arms in sweet scenes.

‘Brittany is amazing. Kiddos are so well behaved,’ one social media user said of the youngsters.

‘They’re so sweet – intently watching,’ another posted.

Many fans were left amazed at Brittany’s ability to juggle mom and cheerleading duties 

‘The way sterling hugs her dad,’ a third wrote, alongside a red hart emoji.

‘Sterling adores her dad,’ a fourth added.

Earlier in the day, Brittany had appeared on the field just minutes before Patrick and the Chiefs took to the field to face the Texans.

The Chiefs WAG could be seen giving her husband a kiss and wishing him luck as he resumed his bid for an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl this season.

The couple had announced last July that they were expecting another child together.

Six months later Brittany confirmed that she brought Golden Raye into the world on Sunday January 12.

In an Instagram post on Monday, she shared a photo of her and Patrick’s hands resting above Golden Raye’s feet, which were placed just in front of a sign with her name on it.

The 29-year-old Patrick had said on Christmas Day that Brittany was due to give birth imminently and joked that he hoped it was during his team’s bye week before the NFL playoffs.

Speaking after his team beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 25, a win that gave his team an extra week off before the playoffs, Mahomes said: ‘I told my pregnant wife I was gonna get her the number one seed so we can go have that baby. So we got that number one seed.’
