Why Taylor Swift is more excited than ever for Travis Kelce's next NFL season with Kansas City Chiefs
Taylor Swift is more excited than ever for the upcoming NFL season now that she has more time on her hands to jet around the country supporting Travis Kelce.
The songstress will be free to follow Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs home and away in 2025 after wrapping up her worldwide Eras Tour, which prevented her from attending all road games last year other than the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
This time around, however, she plans to cheer her Chiefs-star beau on from the stands a lot more regularly.
'Taylor is really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season. Not just because she loves supporting Travis, but because for the first full season since they started dating, she's not juggling a packed tour schedule,' a source is quoted as saying by PEOPLE.
'This fall will be completely different,' the insider continued. 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.'
Swift dominates headlines whenever she attends a Chiefs game, with the pop megastar seen at Arrowhead Stadium on several occasions since her and Kelce began dating in 2023.
She did travel to a number of road games in her first season as a Kansas City WAG, before completing a mad dash from her latest Eras Tour show in Tokyo to Las Vegas to watch their Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Yet last season Taylor was not seen at a single one of Travis' games away from Arrowhead, something that will be far easier in the upcoming campaign given she has no commitments of her own.
'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible. It wasn't easy but they made it work,' the source added.
Swift joined her man at the Stanley Cup Final in Florida on Thursday night as the Panthers locked horns with the Edmonton Oilers.
They watched on as the hosts suffered a dramatic overtime defeat in Game 4 at Amerant Bank Arena, which tied the series at 2-2.
As the hosts stormed into an early 3-0 lead, Taylor and Travis were seen celebrating in the stands as Kelce high-fived another member of the crowd.
Yet during the third period, Swift sparked controversy when she was seen sitting next to hockey legend and Donald Trump ally Wayne Gretzky.
It comes less than a month since Trump took a random shot at her when he bizarrely claimed on Truth Social that he is the reason she is 'no longer hot.'
Liberals and Swift's legion of diehard fans were therefore not happy to see her in the company of a full-blown Trump ally on Thursday night.
'Ugh with a trumpster so disappointed,' one Swiftie wrote on X.
Another posted: 'it's unfortunate he's a huge maga trumpie'.

LA chopper reporter elicits laughs and concern for deadpan coverage of 'No Kings Day' protests
A local reporter had people all over the internet laughing out loud and sending him words of concern for his outlandish coverage of the 'No Kings Day' protests in Los Angeles. Stu Mundel, FOX 11 Los Angeles' aerial reporter since June 2020, had a somewhat of a meltdown while his chopper was flying over crowds of people in the streets who had gathered to protest Donald Trump 's actions as president. After being asked a question by an audience member about his relationship status, Mundel let out a three-second groan directly into the mic before saying: 'You know, I don't care about my- ...I, uh, I am married. I am legally married. I am legally married. That's about the only way you can really say it,' he replied. He then appeared to say that he wasn't 'looking' for someone to date, before mentioning that he's been through 'a bunch of debacles with my personal life.' 'I got nothing right now. I got really looking,' he said. 'I'm trying to find myself and be happy. I'm being serious about that. I want to be beholden to no one at this moment.' He continued: 'You know, do I get lonely? Of course. Of course. But I got cats.' He later clarified that he and his wife are legally separated. A few minutes after he talked about his current marriage not working out, a viewer goaded him on by asking him to fly over his ex-wife's house. 'Someone said "fly over your ex-wife's house." I said, which one?' His tone of voice also had people speculating that he might have had something to drink before getting in the news helicopter that day. 'How many martinis did this guy knock back before going on air?' one person wrote in a comment on the YouTube stream after it posted. Mundel did nothing to quell people's worries when began talking about his love for alcohol at one point. 'Yes, I love bourbon. I do. I do love the bourbon. I love the whiskey. I love the bourbon. Love the gin. Do love the gin. Alright, kids, we're making our way to Torrance,' he said. Saying outlandish things before making a quick pivot to updating his audience on where the chopper was headed was a constant feature of the stream. While hovering over a group of protestors, Mundel decided to sing the 'I'm just a bill' song from Schoolhouse Rock. 'I'm just a bill, and I'm sittin' on Capitol Hill. It would be funny if one of those guy's names down there was Bill. Eh, it's not Capitol Hill though. True,' he said. He also had no qualms bantering with his audience as they sent in comments. While they were flying over highways and warehouses, some viewers were upset that they couldn't see any action from the protests. His responses to them resembled how parents scold their kids when they repeatedly ask 'are we there yet' on the way to a vacation. 'We're here for the protests. Yes Paloma!' Mundel said to a viewer. 'Yes, Paloma, I know! It's not a magic carpet. I can do a lot of things, but I can't bend space and time. Yet. Emma, same thing! We're on our way! ...Sandra? No, we're not there yet. Three minutes.' At one point in the stream, he seemed to be aware that his bosses at the television station might not be too happy with his shoot-from-the-hip approach. 'They probably have the audio down. I don't blame 'em. I would too,' he said. However, based on many of the comments he received, his off-the-cuff style was a smashing success. Some even suggested he should have his own show. 'Thanks fox news 11 for giving us your funny wacky and newly divorced helicopter pilot reporter in the sky report! Somebody please buy him some jello shots tonight!' one person wrote. 'I hope the pilot is doing okay, we're praying for you buddy!' another wrote. 'Don't let the people get you down, stu. you are a treasure. - LA,' a third wrote. Shortly after his broadcast, protesters in LA began to turn violent as police said concrete, rocks, bottles and commercial grade fireworks were thrown at officers. LAPD deployed less lethal munitions in an effort to quell the chaos.

Diamondbacks stage huge rally to beat Padres in 9th
June 15 - Josh Naylor drove in Geraldo Perdomo from third base with a chopping ground ball to first to cap a five-run ninth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for an 8-7 victory over the San Diego Padres in Phoenix on Saturday. Pavin Smith, Gabriel Moreno and Alek Thomas singled to open the ninth off Padres' closer Robert Suarez (1-2), who entered in a non-save situation. After Corbin Carroll struck out, Ketel Marte beat out an infield single to shortstop on a play that was changed on a video review to make it 7-4. Perdomo, who had two hits, tripled into the right-field corner to drive in three, bringing up Naylor. Naylor beat the Mariners with a walk-off grand slam in an 8-4, 11-inning victory over Seattle in the first game of the homestand Monday. Eugenio Suarez had a three-run homer for the D-backs, who have won five in a row. Gavin Sheets had three hits including a homer, and Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado each had two-run hits in a four-run San Diego seventh for a 5-3 lead, and the Padres tacked on two runs in their ninth for what appeared to be a safe cushion. Kevin Ginkel (1-3) gave up two runs, one earned, in the ninth. The Padres have lost four of five. Arizona starter Zac Gallen gave up six hits and was charged with four runs in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out six and walked four. He leads the NL with 40 walks. Jake Cronenworth singled and Elias Diaz drew a one-out walk to load the bases in the seventh before Ryan Thompson replaced Gallen. Tatis grounded a two-run single to left to tie it at 3-3 and Machado's two-out double made it 5-3. Padres starter Ryan Bergert gave up three runs on three hits and two walks in five innings in his third start while taking the place of Michael King in the rotation. He struck out eight. Sheets' homer in the second for a 1-0 lead was the 15th homer Gallen has allowed this season, one short of the league high. Bergert retired 10 of the first 11 he faced before walking Perdomo with one out in the fourth. Naylor singled to center and Suarez hit a 3-1 pitch 410 feet into the left field seats for the 3-1 lead. Suarez has 20 homers, tied with teammate Corbin Carroll for second in the NL. --Field Level Media

Trump's military parade was feared to be the stuff of authoritarians. It was more small-town July 4
Some feared that Donald Trump's military parade would bring a touch of North Korea to the nation's capital. The sight of tanks rolling into the city in the same week the president deployed the troops to quell protests and delivered a deeply political speech to soldiers at Fort Bragg did little to alleviate those fears. But when the day came, it was something closer to a medium-sized town's July 4th celebration. There were families, picnics, bad weather and small crowds. There were no 20-foot missiles or long lines of intimidating military hardware. The sparse crowds that did turn out were instead treated to a history lesson about the U.S. Army to celebrate its 250th birthday (it also happened, by pure coincidence, to be Trump's 79th birthday). As a regiment or unit would parade by, a voiceover told the crowd its history, and that same booming voice would intermittently follow up with a word for a sponsor. 'With thanks to our sponsor, Lockheed Martin,' the voice said after a touching tribute to the 1st Cavalry Division. Next, the same voice thanked the crypto platform Coinbase. Somewhere in the field behind, an energy drink company co-owned by Dana White, a friend of the president, was handing out free cans with the words 'screamin' freedom' on the front. The darker military parades that have become synonymous with tyrannical regimes around the world don't take breaks for corporate sponsors, nor do they sell pretzels, or have cooling tents. As Trump's favorite crooner Lee Greenwood took to the stage at sundown to sing 'God Bless the U.S.A,' the event took on a feel closer to Las Vegas than Pyongyang. More kitsch than threatening. But this event was more political than many Americans will be comfortable with. And even those who couldn't criticize the occasion doubted Trump's motives. 'This is the kind of thing that Stalin would have done. This is the kind of thing North Korea does. It sickens me that we're putting on this display just for one man's ego,' said Donna Stork, 73, who came from Hagerstown, Maryland, to protest. 'I have no problems with the Army having a celebration,' she said. 'What I do have a problem with is the implication that this is more about Trump and military might than it is about the 250th anniversary of people who fought and died for our country.' Paul Scott, a Trump supporter who came from Dallas with his wife to watch the parade, did not appreciate the comparisons. 'You're a part of the tired media. We are exhausted with you,' he said. 'Go yell at everybody you want to yell at. We love hearing that you personally think that Donald Trump is North Korea's dictator. You're insane, not me.' Tanks, armored personnel carriers and artillery rumbled down Constitution Avenue, a rare sight in the U.S., which has rarely in modern history had to prove its military strength to anyone. Trump's parade was planned long ago, but it happened to come at the end of an eventful week in which the president trampled norms and tested laws governing his control of the U.S. military. He dispatched troops to Los Angeles to handle relatively minor protests and threatened to do the same to cities across the country. He gave a deeply politicized speech to soldiers at Fort Bragg, during which he criticized political opponents to the cheers of the enlisted behind him. After all that, Saturday's parade seemed like a relatively tame use of the world's most powerful military force. For many, though, especially veterans, it was a chance to pay tribute to their fallen comrades and to receive thanks for their own service. 'I retired from the Army 30 years ago and I came to honor all the people that came before me, all the friends that I've lost,' said Van Beal, 70, who first joined the Army in 1978, 'and just to be here because it's only going to be one 250th, so it's a wonderful opportunity.'
