Taylor Swift
may have done 'things greater than date the boy on the football team,' but now that she is dating one, it seems the NFL can't stop singing her tunes—literally. Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis Kelce
recently updated his favorite Swift track, and the surprise pick left fans buzzing.
Taylor Swift takes over the NFL again—Travis Kelce and teammates share their favorite tracks
At this year's Tight End University (TEU), a training summit founded by Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen to help players sharpen their craft, the Swiftie energy was impossible to miss. TEU isn't just about drills and technique anymore—it's turned into a mini music fest, with Swift taking center stage both on and off the field.
In a playful moment captured by Bussin' With The Boys and shared on Instagram by FanDuel, Kelce was asked to name his current favorite Taylor Swift song.
The question, innocent as it was, drew a long, dramatic pause from the tight end. After a pensive sigh and a few pursed lips, he cautiously said, 'I guess 'So High School?'' His delivery had fans grinning, especially when he bashfully declined to sing a few lines, adding with a smile, 'No, I'm nervous.
'
Kelce had once praised Blank Space as 'unbelievable,' but it appears the catchy, flirty tones of So High School have taken the top spot on his playlist.

The song, believed by many to be inspired by Kelce himself, includes the lyric: "You know how to ball, I know Aristotle," which seems almost too perfect to ignore.
Swift's presence at TEU was another highlight. She surprised attendees with an impromptu performance of Shake It Off, drawing cheers from NFL players and staff alike. While TEU is known for building bonds between the league's top tight ends, it now also doubles as a celebration of Swift's music—thanks in part to her relationship with Kelce.
Other NFL stars got in on the Swiftie moment too. Four-time Super Bowl champ Rob Gronkowski picked Shake It Off as his top track and even threw in a few dance moves. George Kittle of the 49ers didn't hesitate before naming Love Story, calling it 'incredible.' Meanwhile, Raiders rookie Brock Bowers intended to choose Love Story, but accidentally broke into You Belong With Me instead. Points for effort, if not accuracy.
With the NFL season set to kick off on September 5 as the Chiefs face the Chargers in primetime, fans can expect not just touchdowns—but maybe a few sing-alongs too. Because when love and football collide, apparently, there's always a Swift song to soundtrack the moment.

‘F1' Twitter Reviews: Brad Pitt's racing drama hailed as ‘pure cinematic adrenaline'; F1 fans warn, 'Don't expect accuracy'
Brad Pitt 's highly anticipated racing epic F1 has finally hit the theatres in India and around the world. Early viewers are already racing to X to tweet all about the film and share their reactions and honest reviews of this high-octane racing spectacle. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Joseph Kosinski , F1 sees Pitt going behind the wheel as a veteran Formula One driver returning to coach a rising star. With a massive $200 million budget and real-life F1 legend Lewis Hamilton on board as a producer, the expectations were sky-high. But as the early reviews roll in, it's clear the film is dividing audiences — and sparking some passionate debate among racing fans. Not everyone crossed the finish line impressed with this adrenaline pumping film. One viewer wrote, "Next time I'm asked the worst film I've ever seen, at least I can now confirm it's #F1TheMovie." Another added, "The horrific script, the endless clichés, the brainless race commentary that explains the rules… truly staggering. A corporate sports mess." On the positive side, many are hailing F1 as a pulse-pounding cinematic spectacle. One user gushed, "F1 delivers pure cinematic adrenaline! Brad Pitt shines, the races are heart-pounding, and the story of grit, strategy, and competition is a win." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Another echoed the sentiment, writing, "#F1 absolutely rocks. So entertaining, full of adrenaline and energy and such a fun watch. Soundtrack, cinematography and sound design are top notch. Kosinski did it again." Even those unfamiliar with the sport are praising the immersive experience. "No, I don't follow #F1 the sport," one fan wrote, "but you bet we were at the cinema on opening night for that 4DX experience... flying through all the races, wind in our hair, getting rained on… 10/10." Another user compared it favourably to Kosinski's previous hit, saying, "Much like Top Gun: Maverick, the driving setpieces are phenomenal but are a backdrop to a fantastic story. One of the movies of the year." Others offered more balanced takes, "F1 was good, didn't love it as much as I thought I would but it was enjoyable enough. The race scenes were incredible though! The story was generic, but the cast and racing scenes made up for it in spades. I had major anxiety through some of those races." For motorsport purists, one message was loud and clear: temper your expectations. "Watched F1: The Movie today and actually enjoyed it SO MUCH! Countless WTF moments. If you know about F1 and you plan on watching the movie, please don't expect it to be accurate." Another viewer summed up the general sentiment among audiences saying, "The F1 film is great. It's not a cinematic masterpiece and won't be winning Oscars, but I don't understand the hate. Yes, it's not entirely realistic, but it's not meant to be — it's meant to be entertaining, and that's what it is." As F1 prepares for its US debut, all eyes will be on the box office finish line to see if the film can fire up those engines and finish on a high, considering its huge budget.

Kamal Haasan, Vijay, Rajinikanth: When reuniting with old directors doesn't always guarantee a 'Nayagan' or 'Mersal'
In the changing landscape of Tamil cinema, stars face a crucial decision in choosing a director for their next film. Reuniting with an old trusted director or teaming up with a new talent? This decision has the power to elevate or derail a star's journey. Both approaches have strengths, but audience expectations, story, and context determine success. The power and pressure of reunions Old alliances create a unique impact in Kollywood. Rajinikanth-Shankar collaborations like 'Sivaji' and 'Enthiran' have been record-breaking box office hits and have captivated generations. The Vijay-Atlee duo delivered 'Theri', 'Mersal,' and 'Bigil', creating a string of hits. But not all old alliances are successful. Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam 's 'Thug Life' failed to make the same impact as 'Nayagan' and faced criticism. This shows that old alliances often come under the pressure of expectations. Fresh director, fresh perspective There is a special charm when teaming up with a new director. Dhanush-Maari Selvaraj's 'Karnan' captivated audiences with a strong village story. Similarly, Rajinikanth-Karthik Subbaraj's 'Petta' impressed the audience by combining the superstar's old charm and new perspective. The vision and experience of a new director give an actor the opportunity to create new roles, which can take the star to new heights. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Reunions vs fresh collaborations Both approaches have their pros and cons. Teaming up with an old director is a strong friendship and understanding, and it also brings with it the expectations of the fans. But there is also the pressure to surpass previous successes. Meanwhile, the strength of teaming up with a new director is the opportunity to create a new vision, new storytelling opportunities, and an environment that faces new challenges. But there is also the risk of failure. Story matter most In the end, what matters more than which path is best is a good story, strong direction, and the actor's search for innovation. No matter which director you team up with, new or old, only if the story and character are conducive to the actor's development will that partnership create a breakthrough in Tamil cinema. When the needs of the times, the desires of the fans, and the strength of the story come together in one place, a star can use any path to success. 'Even if I work with Vijay or SRK, I treat every film like the first. New ideas matter more than familiarity', said Atlee in a public event post the success of 'Jawan'. 'Fresh stories and fresh teams excite me. It gives a chance to show a different side of myself' said Dhanush when team up with Mari Selvaraj for 'Karnan'. 'Reuniting with old friends like Mani Ratnam feels like going back home. But working with new talents reminds me why I fell in love with acting' said Kamal Haasan about his reunion with Mani Ratnam for 'Thug Life.' 'Kaithi 2': Here's how Lokesh Kanagaraj and makers plan on 'Kaithi's sequel A timeless truth: Good stories build legends In today's era, audiences expect the new and the old equally. Memorable stories, strong visuals, and the hard work of the actors are the key to a film's success. So whatever path a star chooses, it should be one that showcases their individuality and delights their fans. Whether the director is old or new, the core of that collaboration is a good story. A good story is what turns a star, a director, and a film into a memorable story.
