Travis Kelce weighs in on the Kansas City Chiefs earning the 'America's Team' nickname
During the recent episode of New Heights, Travis Kelce shared his thoughts on the rumor that the Kansas City Chiefs have taken over the slogan of America's Team from the Dallas Cowboys.
'Yeah, so I'm kind of out on just the whole America's Team deal; I don't give a…about that (talk),' said Kelce, 'I want to be in Kansas City. I want to be the Chiefs. That's all I want to be. I'm gonna be the big bad Chiefs. Come join if you want. But America's team? The Boys can have that if they want it.'
The Cowboys and Chiefs will headline a Thanksgiving battle this year, while Kansas City will host a Christmas evening game. Kansas City will play seven prime-time games in 2025, the most of any team in the league.
The Kelce brothers showed a clip of a Cowboys fan changing allegiances to the Chiefs with an extensive back tattoo cover-up of the former's logo.
'We'll treat you right over in Chiefs Kingdom,' said Kelce. 'We'll make it so you will never have to cover up that Chiefs logo, dude.'
The Chiefs' recent success and polarizing players like Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have catapulted them to more mainstream attention. They have handled it well through the years, whether or not they are viewed as America's Team.

Travis Kelce Sends Strong Message After Taylor Swift's Personal Decision
Travis Kelce Sends Strong Message After Taylor Swift's Personal Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Taylor Swift is arguably one of the biggest and most prominent pop stars in the world today, and therefore, it is no doubt that her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce draws tons of attention. Advertisement A common sight on television during Chiefs games is Swift watching from a luxury box. It is something that annoys some fans, but it has also brought lots of publicity, not to mention viewership, for the NFL. On Friday, it was announced that Swift made a huge career move when she made it known that she now owns the rights to her first six albums. This should open up plenty of business opportunities for her, including the ability to receive royalties from her songs. Kelce congratulated Swift on gaining the rights to all the songs on those albums, including "I Knew You Were Trouble," a song from the album "Red" in 2012. NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal tried to sing along with the lyrics during an appearance on the "New Heights" podcast with Kelce and his brother Jason. 'Shout out to Tay-Tay, just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back, so it's finally hers too. I appreciate that," Travis Kelce said. Until recently, the rights to those six albums were held by Shamrock Capital, which had purchased them from Ithaca Holdings. Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings previously bought Big Machine Label Group, which had owned the rights to the master recordings of those six albums.

New Video of Taylor Swift Singing Turns Heads on Friday
New Video of Taylor Swift Singing Turns Heads on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, have kept a low profile over the past several months. Fans assumed Swift was taking a much-deserved break after performing 149 "Eras Tour" shows across the world. Ever since Super Bowl LIX, Kelce and 14-time Grammy have only been spotted in public a handful of times. While Kelce prepares for this 13th season in the NFL, however, Swift revealed that she was quietly working on getting back ownership of her master recordings from music released between 2006 to 2017. Swift broke five months of social media silence to announce on May 30: "I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me." "And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work," Swift noted. Billboard reported she bought back ownership of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital, the firm that purchased them from Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings in late 2020, for approximately $360 million. Helping celebrate Swift's exciting news on Friday, Jack Antonoff, the singer's longtime friend and music producer, who co-wrote numerous songs featured on "Reputation." With the 2017 album back under Swift's ownership, Antonoff posted a video of Swift (and her cat, Meredith) singing along to "Getaway" on X. He captioned the post, "rep forever guilt free listening!" Because Swift never finished recording "Reputation: Taylor's Version," numerous fans felt guilty listening to the original album. One fan commented, "NEW TAYLOR FOOTAGE, JACK WE LOVE YOU." One Swifite wrote, "THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY 🥹." Another fan posted, "the concept of meredith witnessing swiftie independence day." One X user wrote, "AWWW SHES SO HAPPY." Following Friday's announcement, "Reputation" immediately shot to No. 1 the iTunes music story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.

After 149 "Eras Tour" shows across the world, Swift earned a much-deserved breaks While fans hoped she'd soon announce either "Reputation: Taylor's Version" or the re-recorded version of her self-titled debut, she's remained out of the spotlight. However, on May 30, Swift surprised fans with a huge announcement about her music and career. The 35-year-old pop star now finally owns all her music and master recordings. "All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to buy and purchase my music outright. I'm simply attached, in partnership, with full authorization. It will be forever, starting at midnight @ the moment Capital has transferred everything back over to the hands of me." Back in 2019, Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings purchased Big Machine Label Group, which owned Swift's master recordings. The "Karma" singer then moved to re-record her music in order to regain ownership. In 2020, Shamrock Capital purchased Swift's master recordings. Sources told Billboard that Swift purchased her catalog back to her "for an amount relatively close to what they paid for it -- around $360 million." While she already re-recorded "Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)," and loves how it sounds, she revealed "Reputation: Taylor's Version)" is not even close to being finished. "I haven't even recovered a quarter of it. The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to rework it... To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in the first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it." Both her debut and "Rep:TV" will "re-emerge when the time is right."This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
