Machine Gun Kelly reveals somber Taylor Swift Super Bowl chat as Travis Kelce and the Chiefs were getting beat
The musician, who grew up near Kelce in Cleveland, Ohio, performed in New Orleans on the night of the game, which took place on February 9.
Before his show, he sat in Kelce's box alongside Taylor Swift, and envisioned a wild night before the game kicked off.
'At the beginning of it, Taylor was like, 'Hell yea, we're gonna come watch you perform. It's gonna be crazy tonight,' he recalled to ABC News.
'Internally I was stoked, I was like oh, what a legendary night this is gonna be.'
Of course, things didn't turn out quite like that as the Chiefs were blown out 40-22, and trailed 34-0 in the third quarter.
'By the third quarter, I was looking at that score, I went up to Taylor, I was like, 'Y'all aren't coming tonight, huh?,' he continued. 'She was like, 'I don't think so, man. I'll see if I can get him to get out but I don't think...'

The presenter is set to begin the new venture after leaving the BBC and Match of the Day at the end of last season. He will host The Rest is Football: LaLiga, a highlights show which will feature clips from every LaLiga match each week. It will be the first video edition of the podcast and presenter Alex Aljow will act as co-host. Lineker said of the new show: "I've made no secret of my love for Spanish football over the years. "Ever since I played there in the late '80s, I've followed the story of LALIGA closely. "Now, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marcus Rashford joining Jude Bellingham and Conor Gallagher in Spain, all eyes will be on LALIGA's biggest games each week." Lineker, 64, is also set to return to Saturday night TV - but with BBC rival ITV. The former MOTD star with host a new gameshow called The Box. However he is not in the broadcaster's plans to host the World Cup next year.

Son Heung-min fever hits Los Angeles as record MLS signing unveiled
Wednesday afternoons in the dog days of summer are usually quiet at the Los Angeles Football Club official store, with a smattering of fans braving the sweltering heat to buy black-and-gold merchandise. This week, however, it was packed. The star attraction was Son Heung-min, the 33-year-old forward who joined LAFC after a decade at Tottenham Hotspur for about £20million, a Major League Soccer (MLS) record fee. Son was given a reception fit for a Hollywood star at his official unveiling inside BMO Stadium, his likeness greeting the afternoon traffic from a billboard outside the arena alongside a welcome message in English, Spanish and Korean. Korean autograph hunters holding brand new shirts — as well as a couple of Spurs tops — gathered in the car park hoping that Son, by far and away the most popular athlete in South Korea, would stop to say hello. Seungwon Ha, a 26-year-old exchange student from Seoul, was among the first to get a new shirt with Son's name and number. He had ditched a summer class at the University of Southern California to get a glimpse of his idol. 'Everybody knows him and loves him in Korea,' Ha said. For the past decade he has been staying up late to watch Son at Spurs and is now excited to be in the same time zone. He predicted the MLS would get a huge popularity boost in Korea with a national icon playing week in week out. Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, was among the speakers at the event, effusive in her praise of 'Sonny'. The signing, she said, was 'a moment that will be remembered in the city for generations to come'. Bass then presented Son with a plaque and officially declared him an Angeleno.

Son should feel at home in southern California, with an estimated 320,000 Koreans living in greater Los Angeles. That includes the Koreatown neighbourhood, a trendy area filled with karaoke spots and Korean barbecue restaurants. For the past decade Spurs shirts with Son's name on the back have been a common sight. They are now sure to be replaced by black-and-gold LAFC tops. Matt Kim, a Korean American journalist living in Los Angeles, started supporting Spurs during the pandemic after watching Son's highlights from his time in north London. 'Just seeing someone from your country, who looks like you, dominate the sport in the way that he did for so long, it inspires,' he said. After being stung by the so-called Messi effect — when the Argentina legend signed for Inter Miami in the summer of 2023, tickets for matches shot up in price — Kim acted quickly this time around. When the rumours of Son's arrival in Los Angeles intensified, he bought two tickets for him and his girlfriend for about $100 each. Thanks to the 'Son effect', they would now cost almost double that. 'I'm very excited,' Kim said. The introductory press conference was filled with Korean journalists asking questions in two languages before rushing off to broadcast live for the breakfast news bulletins back home. An interpreter translated questions in English into Korean for the vast audience in Asia who had tuned in for a livestream. Son was also accompanied into the room by the loud drumbeat from the LAFC ultras. Kyu Cho, a 34-year-old originally from Seoul, has lived in Los Angeles for a decade, where he works in marketing. He said Son is bigger in South Korea than David Beckham is in the UK: 'He's a living legend in Korea.' Son, settling into his new surroundings, appreciated the support from his countrymen. After being welcomed by the mayor, he said: 'I'm here, I'm more than happy, and so, so excited seeing all Korean fans outside there.'
