Kelce and Swift have been very supportive of each other since taking their romance public. Kelce has attended several Eras Tour concerts throughout its run, while Swift went to many Chiefs games during the regular season, the playoffs and even the Super Bowl.

AGT contestant's journey from living in her car to golden buzzer wows everyone
Charity Lockhart will have quite the story to tell at her 50th birthday party later this year. The 49-year-old singer, who appeared on 'America's Got Talent' on June 10, went from being stopped by judge Simon Cowell midway through her set to earning a golden buzzer just minutes later. Now, she has hopes of winning America's largest talent show and, one day, earning herself a Grammy. And she has quite the story to go along with her ambitious goal. As is tradition on the show, Lockhart shared her story and reason for auditioning — arguing that, while she loves singing and loves music, she primarily does it for her two kids. She then joked that she's raising two 'little' children: a 27-year-old daughter and 21-year-old son. Following a divorce years ago, Lockhart says the trio were forced to live in a car while she performed at clubs and bars to make ends meet. 'All I had was my voice,' she told the audience as her two kids looked on. 'I asked live bands if I can sing with them, and they would give me a little money at the end of the night.' The family's first big break came when Lockhart won a local singing competition — which she joked was not as big as the stage she was standing on now. 'We won a monetary reward, and that gave us our first apartment,' she said to a crowd of cheers. According to her website, Lockhart won $1,000 in that competition in Arizona. She went on to create an Aretha Franklin tribute show that she says was approved by the Franklin family. The show was regularly performed on cruise ships and was 'rated one of the best-received acts on the international waters,' per her website. Prior to her audition, Cowell encouraged Lockhart by telling her that 'anything is possible' when you have talent. 'So, we are all honestly rooting for you right now. Come on!' he said. Lockhart's AGT audition starts off on the wrong foot For her first song, Lockhart sang an a capella of Judy Garland's 'Over the Rainbow.' Her talent was obvious, but she was cut short after just 30 seconds as Cowell put two hands in the air and asked her to stop. 'I stopped you because I like you, but it just wasn't working for me,' Cowell said to a crowd of boos. 'Have you got another song?' Cowell asked, giving Lockhart a chance at redemption. For her second song, she performed a version of 'Golden Slumbers' by The Beatles — this time with background music. 'Look, I really want this to work for you. And I know this is a lot of pressure. But come on, you've got it in you. Let's hear the other song,' Cowell said before she started singing. Sofía Vergara's jaw dropped 30 seconds later, and Cowell's jaw followed. And that was before she started hitting whistle notes. Mel B liked it so much that she was the first to stand up and cheer when the song ended — and the entire audience (including Cowell) followed. 'This is what a great audition is all about,' Cowell said. 'You know when people are going to talk about you the following day — that was one of those auditions. It was that good.' Mel B uses her second golden buzzer of the season As for Mel B, she had a golden look in her eye the entire performance. 'Oh man, you know what, every once in a while you see somebody, you connect with them and they just bring more and more to the table,' she said. 'I think you're amazing and I want to give you this right now,' she said — pressing the golden buzzer. The 'golden buzzer' is a button that AGT judges can press when they are so impressed by an act that they want to send them directly to the live shows. You can watch the golden moment in its entirety below: It was Mel B's second use of the buzzer this season after sending the Messoudi Brothers straight to the live shows during the second night of auditions. 'Oh, I know instantly,' she told NBC Insider of her golden buzzer sense. 'Both my golden buzzers, I knew. And I'm like, 'Nobody on the desk knows that I'm gonna buzz?' I even went to everybody else to see what they thought. I played it well,' she added, per NBC News. Live shows begin airing Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Joe Flacco talks about 'embarrassing' TikTok dances: 'Be an adult'
Joe Flacco is the elder statesman of the Cleveland Browns quarterback room. Having just turned 40 in January, Flacco has morphed into the "back in my day guy" and is now just one step away from telling the young whippersnappers to get off his lawn. Flacco has embraced that youthful energy in the twilight of his NFL career, taking the opportunity to pose for a fun photo at media day with rookie, Dillon Gabriel. Advertisement Regardless, he continued to provide plenty of entertainment for the media following Wednesday's minicamp practices, turning the session into a chat about social media, TikTok and posting dancing videos online. Flacco began discussing Twitter, now known as X, as it has evolved into a primary source of news. "The difference now is, everybody's getting their stuff from there, and it's treated a little bit more seriously because that is the main news source," Flacco said, via 92.3 The Fan's Daryl Ruiter. "You still have the same thing you always had, which is a million different opinions, but it kind of blends your actual news source with a bunch of other stuff." The quarterback went on to say that Instagram is the only social media platform he's used and made one thing clear –don't expect him to show up in a TikTok dancing video anytime soon. Advertisement "No TikTok dances," Flacco said. "The fact that people want to get on their phones and show people. That's embarrassing! You're an adult. Be an adult. I can't wrap my head around that." He followed up with some advice for the parents. "I get it, you have kids and you wanna have fun with your kids," Flacco added. "Like, have fun with your kids in private." Flacco appears to be no fan of the current social media landscape, but he also extended his media availability to discuss the good old days. While he wasn't walking up and down the rolling hills in 10 feet of snow to school, the quarterback did end up speaking about players who think offseason activities are too hard in the modern NFL. Advertisement "We're out there for an hour 15 minutes and guys think it's hard," Flacco said via Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein, referencing the two-a-days that used to be commonplace in the NFL. He went on to add that organized team activities (OTAs) used to be over two hours, highlighting just how much has changed since he entered the league in 2008. In other words, Flacco was in a reminiscing mood as the Super Bowl champion prepares for his 18th season in the league.

"Then there's another added layer of privacy and security," continued Gigi, who met Bradley at a backyard birthday party for a mutual friend's kid. "You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on Deuxmoi or whatever, but you just don't know." For more on their relationship, keep reading.
