Travis Kelce unveils slick new haircut at Chiefs training camp as he ditches long locks ahead of new season
The 35-year-old, who is getting ready for his 13th season in the NFL, was sporting a slick new haircut when he emerged for practice with his teammates on Sunday.
Kelce is back in football mode after enjoying some downtime in the offseason with girlfriend Taylor Swift, who he will not see for the next three weeks while in camp.
Earlier this week he finally went Instagram official with Swift after posting her on his account for the very first time as part of an offseason photo dump.
The superstar couple look smitten in a number of the pictures, which show them posing together in a warm setting, clowning around in the snow, skating on an ice rink and out with friends.
One of the pictures even sparked engagement rumors after eagle-eyed Swifties spotted that Travis has an image of him and Taylor as the lock screen on his phone.
In a photo that shows them out for dinner together, Kelce's phone is lying on the table with his loved-up screensaver clearly visible.
And Swift's die-hard legion of fans pointed out how their beloved singer appeared to be holding both hands up to the camera with a ring on her finger.
Yet according to TMZ , the pop megastar is actually wearing Kelce's three Super Bowl rings in the picture he saved as his phone background.
Unfortunately for Swifties, it is believed that Travis has not yet popped the question to Taylor just yet.
After his offseason adventures with Swift, Kelce was back on the practice field on Tuesday as the Chiefs began their preparations for the new NFL season.
Up until August 13, the team will be based at Missouri Western State University in St Joseph - around an hour north Arrowhead Stadium.
There, Kelce and the other 89 players on the roster will stay in dorms on campus for the duration of camp. That means three weeks without seeing their partners and families. For Travis, that means three weeks without seeing his girlfriend.
Kelce and Swift enjoyed a more low-key offseason together than last year, with the pair only making a handful of public appearances since the Chiefs' Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in February.
The most noteworthy of the lot came when Taylor made a surprise cameo at her man's 'Tight End University' event in Nashville last month, where she took to the stage and performed her famous 'Shake It Off' song.

Song satirist Tom Lehrer dies aged 97
Tom Lehrer, the popular and erudite US song satirist who lampooned marriage, politics, racism and the Cold War, then largely abandoned his music career to return to teaching maths at Harvard and other universities, has died aged 97. Friend David Herder said Lehrer died on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. No cause of death was revealed. Advertisement Lehrer had remained on the maths faculty of the University of California at Santa Cruz well into his late 70s. In 2020, he even turned away from his own copyright, granting the public permission to use his lyrics in any format without any fee in return. A Harvard prodigy, having earned a maths degree from the institution at the age of 18, Lehrer soon turned his very sharp mind to old traditions and current events. His songs included Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, The Old Dope Peddler (set to a tune reminiscent of The Old Lamplighter), Be Prepared (in which he mocked the Boy Scouts) and The Vatican Rag, in which Lehrer, an atheist, poked at the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church. Accompanying himself on piano, he performed the songs in a colourful style reminiscent of such musical heroes as Gilbert and Sullivan and Stephen Sondheim, the latter a lifelong friend. Advertisement Lehrer was often likened to such contemporaries as Allen Sherman and Stan Freberg for his comic riffs on culture and politics and he was cited by Randy Newman and 'Weird Al' Jankovic among others as an influence. He mocked the forms of music he did not like (modern folk songs, rock 'n' roll and modern jazz), laughed at the threat of nuclear annihilation and denounced discrimination. But he attacked in such an erudite, even polite, manner that almost no-one objected. Lehrer produced a political satire song each week for the 1964 television show That Was The Week That Was, the US version of the ground-breaking topical comedy show that anticipated Saturday Night Live a decade later. He released the songs the following year in an album titled That Was The Year That Was. Advertisement The material included Who's Next?, an examination of which government will be the next to get the nuclear bomb … perhaps Alabama? (Lehrer did not need to tell his listeners that it was a bastion of segregation at the time.) Pollution takes a look at the then-new concept that perhaps rivers and lakes should be cleaned up. His songs were revived in the 1980 musical revue Tomfoolery, and he made a rare public appearance in London in 1998 at a celebration honouring that musical's producer, Cameron Mackintosh.

Rangers dispatch Braves for sixth straight win
July 27 - Wyatt Langford drove in three runs with a first-inning double and Josh Smith and Josh Jung added two RBI each to back a solid start by rookie Jack Leiter as the soaring Texas Rangers waylaid the Atlanta Braves 8-1 on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game interleague series in Arlington, Texas. The Rangers won their sixth straight game, earned their second consecutive series sweep and captured their fourth series in a row. Texas is 8-1 since the All-Star Break and pulled to within four games of Houston in the American League West standings while collecting 10 hits, three by Smith. Atlanta, mired in fourth place in the National League East, dropped its fifth straight game and seventh of nine contests after the break. The Braves managed just four hits on Sunday against three Texas pitchers and are season-worst 16 games under .500. Leiter was outstanding for the Rangers, allowing a run on two hits and three walks over six innings. He tied a season high with seven strikeouts and won his career-high third straight start. Brad Elder (4-7) was ineffective from the start for the Braves, allowing eight runs on six hits, four walks and a hit batter over 2 2/3 innings while pitching about 50 miles southeast of his hometown of Decatur, Texas. The Rangers set the pace early, taking a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a two-out, three-run double by Langford that drove in Smith, Marcus Semien and Adolis Garcia, all of whom reached without a hit. Atlanta cut into its deficit in the second as Sean Murphy's bloop, ground-rule double scored Drake Baldwin, who had walked. But the Rangers swung back in the bottom of the frame, adding a pair of runs on Smith's two-run home run over the right field fence that scored Jonah Heim and made it 5-1. In the third, Texas loaded the bases off Elder with a single, a walk and a hit batsman before Josh Jung plated Garcia and Langford with a single. Heim then drove in Carter with a single that ended the Atlanta starter's stint. That was more than enough for the Rangers and way too much of a hole from which Atlanta to climb. --Field Level Media

Cubs hold on to lead for crosstown series win over White Sox
July 27 - Pete Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and Ben Brown pitched five strong innings to lift the visiting Chicago Cubs to a 5-4 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. An early spurt staked the Cubs to a 2-1 lead before they held on to take two of three in the crosstown series. Daniel Palencia worked around a hit-by-pitch with two outs in the ninth inning to earn his 14th save. White Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi reached reliever Ryan Brasier for a three-run home run in the eighth inning, his second homer of the game, to bring the White Sox within the final margin. Ian Happ scored the deciding run in the top half when White Sox third baseman Colson Montgomery was called for obstruction in a rundown between home and third. It was one of three White Sox errors in the game. The Cubs scored a pair of first-inning runs against opener Grant Taylor, who struck out Michael Busch to begin the game before encountering trouble. Crow-Armstrong punctuated the rally with a two-run double that followed a double and walk. Benintendi cut the deficit in half with a solo home run against Brown in the bottom of the inning. Brown (5-7) regrouped from a rough relief outing Tuesday, his first major league appearance since June 23. He spaced one run and three hits in five innings with zero walks and four strikeouts. Right-hander Sean Burke kept the White Sox afloat with 4 2/3 innings of two-run, five hit relief. Burke retired eight straight Cubs during one stretch while matching a career high with eight strikeouts against just one walk. Burke allowed the leadoff man to reach just once, and it hurt him. Carson Kelly led off the sixth with a single and scored on Nico Hoerner's two-out RBI single. Matt Shaw extended his hitting streak to nine games with a run-scoring double one batter later. Taylor (0-2) allowed two runs and two hits in one inning. He walked one and struck out two. Luis Robert Jr. returned to the White Sox lineup after missing the past two games with adductor soreness. Robert Jr. went 0-for-3 as his nine-game hitting streak ended. --Field Level Media
