Missouri couple names baby after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, but not all fans have questions: 'What if they breakup?'
Kelce Taylor: A name born from fandom
A Missouri couple is shaking it off and making headlines with their bold baby name choice. After welcoming a baby girl at Liberty Hospital, they knew they had a 'Blank Space' to fill, and they went with a name that honours both a pop icon and an NFL star.
Liberty Hospital celebrated the baby's arrival with a playful announcement on social media, writing, 'We are so excited to announce the birth of the youngest Swiftie and newest member of The Kansas City Chiefs Red Kingdom.'
They followed it up with a cheeky nod to Taylor Swift's tour, adding, 'Kelce Taylor is officially in her newborn era.'
In the comments, the hospital shared that the name was already a hit on the maternity floor: 'Our nurses say that baby Kelce loves her own special name.'

Not all fans are Enchanted by the tribute

More about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce first sparked dating rumours in September 2023 after Kelce openly admitted he tried—and failed—to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his number on it during her Kansas City Eras Tour stop. A few weeks later, Swift was spotted in a VIP suite at a Chiefs game, cheering him on alongside his mom. Since then, the couple has gone increasingly public, with Kelce making a surprise cameo during her Eras Tour stop in London in June 2024, joining dancers on stage in a tuxedo and top hat. Swift even gave him a subtle shoutout in her song intro at another tour stop.

Comedian Vir Das Urges Delhiites To Adopt Indie Amid Supreme Court's Order
Last Updated: Comedian Vir Das has joined voices in condemning the move, urging for compassionate alternatives like adoption, sterilisation and community support. The Supreme Court's recent order directing the removal of stray dogs from the streets of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) has drawn strong reactions from citizens and celebrities alike. The court has given local authorities a deadline of eight weeks to relocate all stray dogs into dedicated shelters, firmly stating that none of the captured animals should be released back to the streets. While some have welcomed the move on public safety grounds, others argue it is a deeply inhumane solution that goes against animal welfare principles. Vir Das' Post Among the public figures who voiced concern over the order is comedian and actor Vir Das. He shared a picture of his furry friends on social media and urged Delhiites to adopt an indie dog. In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Vir Das wrote, 'If you are a resident of Delhi. Can I persuade you to adopt an indie off the streets, more than one? They are extremely healthy, low maintenance and will provide you with more love, affection and gratitude than you could ever imagine." 'I am also asking you to wholeheartedly and generously support your nearest animal welfare NGO. I plan on doing so, I hope you will too. As appeals are filed in court and processes take their time, our humanity needs to kick in immediately. Please do your part, big or small, it all adds up," he added. If you are a resident of Delhi.

They are extremely healthy, low maintenance, and will provide you with more love affection and gratitude than you could ever imagine. Am also asking you to wholeheartedly and… — Vir Das (@thevirdas) August 11, 2025 A few hours back, he raised a legal query, asking, 'Legal minds. Given that the SC is the final word, are citizens not able to appeal this decision on dogs?" Legal minds. Given that the SC is the final word, are citizens not able to appeal this decision on dogs?— Vir Das (@thevirdas) August 12, 2025 Other Celebrities' Reactions Well, Vir Das is not alone in speaking out. Celebrities like Varun Dhawan, Sanya Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor have also voiced their opposition to the Supreme Court order. Taking to their Instagram Stories, the actors share a petition condemning the verdict. The note reads, 'They call it a menace. We call it a heartbeat. Today, the Supreme Court says — take every stray dog off the streets of Delhi-NCR and lock them away. No sunlight. No freedom. No familiar faces they greet every morning. But these aren't just stray dogs. They are the ones who wait outside your tea stall for a biscuit. They are the silent night guards for shopkeepers. They are the tails wagging when children return from school. They are the warmth in a cold, uncaring city." The post argued for more humane alternatives, instead of what it called the 'erasure" of an entire community of animals. 'Yes, there are problems, bites and safety concerns, but caging an entire community of animals is not a solution; it's an erasure. The real fix? Large-scale sterilisation programs, regular vaccination drives, community feeding zones and adoption campaigns. Not punishment. Not imprisonment. A society that can't protect its voiceless is a society losing its soul. Today it's the dogs. Tomorrow… who will it be?" it added. Shelters Ordered Across Delhi-NCR According to the Supreme Court's directive, civic authorities in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad must set up shelters with the capacity to house at least 5,000 stray dogs each. These shelters are expected to have proper facilities for vaccination and sterilisation and the entire relocation project must be completed within six to eight weeks.

Anupamaa fame Rupali Ganguly Criticizes SC Verdict on Delhi Stray Dogs; says, 'If We Remove Them Now, We Risk Losing Our Protectors'
Television actress Rupali Ganguly opposes the Supreme Court's order. The order is about moving stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to shelters. Rupali highlights the dogs' importance in Indian culture. She mentions their role in protecting communities. She urges care for strays through vaccination and feeding. She wants them to stay where they belong. Television actress Rupali Ganguly recently spoke out against the Supreme Court's decision to relocate all stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR area to shelter homes. Known for her role in the popular show Anupamaa, Rupali expressed her disappointment over the verdict, highlighting the importance of these dogs in society. On Tuesday, Rupali took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to share her thoughts on the issue. She spoke about how these dogs have long been respected in Indian traditions. 'In our traditions, dogs guard Bhairav Baba's temple and are fed on Amavasya for blessings,' she wrote. She added that these animals have grown up around us, protecting neighbourhoods, guarding shops, and alerting people to danger by barking at potential thieves. Removing them suddenly, she argued, is like 'silencing an alarm before a fire,' taking away a vital form of protection. Rupali further stressed that moving these dogs to distant shelter homes is not an act of kindness but an act of exile. According to her, stray dogs are not strangers but an integral part of Indian faith, culture, and community safety. She urged people and authorities to care for the strays by vaccinating and feeding them and allowing them to live where they have belonged for generations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo The Supreme Court's ruling, passed on Monday, instructed local authorities to capture and transfer every stray dog in the Delhi-NCR region to designated shelters.
