Travis Kelce's Behavior Toward Taylor Swift in Viral Wedding Video Catches Attention
Travis Kelce's Behavior Toward Taylor Swift in Viral Wedding Video Catches Attention originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a three-and-a-half month break from the public eye, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift haven't stopped popping up on social media quite a bit lately. The couple were spotted out in public on two date nights in Palm Beach, Florida, over the last week, and Swift ended her social media hiatus to announce the major news that she bought back the master recordings of her first six albums — 'Taylor Swift,' 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation' — in a $360 million acquisition. And while Kelce and Swift likely knew both of their date nights would end up in tabloids and on social media at some point, they likely didn't expect their appearance at a wedding in Nashville on Friday night to go viral. But that's exactly what happened when one guest took a video of the couple dancing together int heir seats and posted it to TikTok. The video was then reposted by several other accounts and made its way to X as well, and fans couldn't stop talking about the behavior they saw from Kelce, who not only had his hand on Swift's knee as they danced together, but he also matched her vibe pretty well. Several fans — many of whom have been clamoring for a future Kelce-Swift wedding — hit the comment sections across both social platforms applauding the Pro Bowl pass-catcher for both supporting Swift's lighthearted side and embracing her playful nature in a way many of her followers believe her previous love interests never did. 'They match each other's energies so well and yet some people still insist she's in a miserable closeted situation instead of being happy for her that she found someone who treats her how she wants to be treated,' one fan wrote. 'The way my mouth DROPPED at that video. THEY ARE TOO CUTE,' another fan added. 'Taylor and Travis attending a wedding together and dancing together in their chairs 😭🥹💜,' a third fan expressed. 'They're such a supportive couple. God continue to bless them,' one user noted. 'His hand on her knee…' another user replied. 'I love that she's finally having a normal relationship,' remarked one fan. 'Awww #TNT/#Tayvis looked so happy and cute vibing together! Power couple's chemistry/aura over 13 million! 💕💞' another fan exclaimed. Kelce was able to fit the wedding in due to the break in the Chiefs' offseason schedule. The team wrapped up Phase 2 of OTAs on Wednesday, and it'll resume Phase 3 on June 10. After Phase 3 wraps on June 13, Kansas City has a three-day break before hosting mandatory minicamp June 17-19. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Vic Fangio feels good about Eagles' pass rush despite offseason departures
The Eagles' pass rush that relentlessly pressured Patrick Mahomes was a big part of the reason they won Super Bowl LIX, but that pass rush will look different in 2025: Josh Sweat, who led the team in sacks in the regular season and had 2.5 sacks in the Super Bowl, is gone. Milton Williams, who was third on the team in sacks in the regular season and had two sacks in the Super Bowl, is gone. Defensive ends Brandon Graham and Bryce Huff are gone. But Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio isn't worried. Fangio mentioned Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt, Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari as players he thinks he can count on to be a big part of the pass rush this season. 'I feel good about Nolan,' Fangio said. 'I think we'll feel good about Jalyx now that he's gonna get a lot of reps and develop. He played good for us down the stretch last year, and played a lot, as you saw, so I feel good about those two guys, and I think they'll continue to improve. We've got Uche, we've got Azeez, we've got three other guys there. I think we'll be fine.' The Eagles suffered heavy losses on defense in free agency, but Fangio has repeatedly said he trusts General Manager Howie Roseman to give him a roster he can succeed with. The roster will look different in 2025, but that doesn't mean it can't again land in the Super Bowl.
