Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Reportedly Took a Major Relationship Step in Ohio
Last month, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted on a lunch date in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. The couple did more than just sightsee in Kelce's home state, though. Local outlet Cleveland Scene spoke to multiple sources who revealed that the couple 'visited at least two opulent homes currently for sale in Northeast Ohio's tony eastside suburbs.'
The news comes months after Us Weekly reported that Swift and Kelce were discussing purchasing property together. In late January, a source told the outlet that Swift was considering buying a house in Kansas City, Missouri, where Kelce is based during football season. He plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.
'When they have time, they want to look at real estate,' the source said then. '[They've] talked about exploring buying a home together.'
Swift and Kelce have been together for about two years. On July 1, a source told People that this year has been transformative for their relationship, particularly the spring and summer when the pair was off work and able to spend time together privately.
'It's been a turning point for their relationship in a lot of ways,' the source said. 'They're incredibly happy and in sync. There's a calmness and ease to their relationship right now that's been really grounding for Taylor and Travis.'
Kelce recently went Instagram official with Swift, sharing personal photos of what they did together during his offseason. A source told People this move 'was intentional. They've been private in their own way, but this was his way of showing how serious things have become.'
'They're in a really solid place and more in sync than ever,' the source added.

Eddie Palmieri, a champion of Latin jazz, dies at 88
Eddie Palmieri, the Grammy-winning Nuyorican pianist, bandleader and composer who helped innovate Afro-Caribbean music in the States and transform the New York salsa scene, died on Wednesday. He was 88. According to a post on his official Instagram, Palmieri passed away in his Hackensack, N.J., home. The New York Times confirmed via his youngest daughter, Gabriela Palmieri, that his death came after 'an extended illness.' Multiple celebrities chimed in to pay their respects, including Spike Lee, Ramon Rodriguez and representatives from Fania Records, the pioneering New York salsa label, also released a statement. '[On Wednesday], Fania Records mourns the loss of the legendary Eddie Palmieri, one of the most innovative and unique artists in music history,' the statement said. Palmieri briefly recorded music with the label but also released music under Tico, Alegre, Concord Picante, RMM and Coco Records. Others took to social media to mourn the loss, including David Sanchez, a Grammy-winning jazz tenor saxophonist from Puerto Rico, who uploaded a slideshow of photographs of the two. Sanchez recounted the time when his soprano saxophone was stolen — and Palmieri helped him pay for a new one. 'Your being and your music will continue to live on in the hearts of many,' Sanchez wrote in the Instagram caption. Palmieri's contemporary Chuchito Valdes, a Grammy-winning Cuban pianist and bandleader, also chimed in with an Instagram post lamenting the loss: 'A sad day for music. One of the greatest of all time is gone, an innovator. The man who revolutionized salsa and Latin jazz. My great friend.' Born on Dec. 15, 1936, in East Harlem to Puerto Rican parents from Ponce, Palmieri was the younger brother of Charlie Palmieri, the late piano legend known as the 'Giant of the Keyboards.' The family later moved to the South Bronx, where they opened up a luncheonette called 'Mambo': a name chosen by young Eddie, who was enthralled by the Cuban dance hall rhythms. He often controlled the jukebox with blissful Latin jazz tunes by Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez and Machito. Palmieri was deeply influenced and inspired by his older brother, who was nine years his senior and introduced him to prominent big-band acts of the 1940s, like Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Woody Herman, all of whom seemed to dissolve by the end of World War II. Though Palmieri had an itch to lean into the timbales like Tito Puente, he would eventually follow in his brother's footsteps and take piano lessons from Margaret Bonds, one of the most prominent African American concert pianists at the time. Although he briefly joined his uncle's orchestra, Chino y sus Almas Tropicales, as a timbal player, Palmieri rose to fame as a pianist, playing with various bands including the Eddie Forrester Orchestra, Johnny Segui and His Orchestra, and eventually Tito Rodriguez and His Orchestra, which was a main act at the Palladium Ballroom between 1958 to 1960. 'In the audience, you could have maybe a Marlon Brando, Kim Novak, all the Hollywood starlets because it was the height of the mambo,' said Palmieri in a 2013 interview with Jo Reed. 'On Saturday, you had the blue-collar, mostly Puerto Rican. And then Sunday was black, Afro-American. It was intermingled or different nationalities that had nothing to do whether you were green, purple, white, we came to dance.' But in 1961, Palmieri went on to start his own band, La Perfecta, an ironic title given its not-so-perfect setup. It formed as an eight-piece Cuban conjunto, which ditched the traditional jazzy saxophone. There were timbales, congas, bongos, bass, piano and vocals — but with a twist of its own kind: the inclusion of two trombones, played by Barry Rogers and Jose Rodriguez, instead of the costly four-set trumpets. Palmieri also added a whistling flute, played by George Castro, for a charanga edge (in the place of a traditional violin). 'La Perfecta changed everything in the history of our genre, in my opinion. Certainly in New York,' said Palmieri. 'And then influenced the world, because after that all the pawn shops got rid of their trombones.' His group helped usher in the iconic salsa genre with their first album, 'Eddie Palmieri and His Conjunto 'La Perfecta,'' dubbing him the nickname 'Madman of salsa.' However, he was not too fond of the emerging term, which seemed to cram different styles like mambo, charanga, rumba, guaracha and danzón into one single category. 'Afro-Cuban is where we get the music,' explained Palmieri in a 2012 interview with the Smithsonian Oral History Project. 'The influence of the Puerto Rican is the one [that] upheld the rhythmical patterns and the genre of Cuba. So then that becomes Afro-Caribbean.' La Perfecta went on to release its most famed album, 'Azúcar Pa' Ti' in 1965. It included the song 'Azúcar,' an eight-minute track that was later added to the National Recording Registry in 2009. In 1976, Palmieri became the first to win a Grammy for the inaugural category of best Latin recording, for his album 'Sun of Latin Music.' He holds a total of eight Grammy awards. In 2013, the National Endowment for the Arts honored him as a Jazz Master and the Latin Grammys granted him a Lifetime Achievement Award. But Eddie Palmieri's impact spanned beyond his own accomplishments. He was a mentor, a teacher and an advocate for Latin music and culture, which includes advocating twice for the inclusion of the Latin jazz album category in the Grammys — first in 1995, then again in 2012 after its removal. Palmieri was predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Iraida Palmieri, who passed away in 2014 — and who he often referred to as 'Mi Luz Mayor.' He is survived by his four daughters, Renee, Eydie, Ileana and Gabriela; his son, Edward Palmieri II; and four grandchildren.

Swansea City's Snoop Dogg and Luka Modric boost ahead of Middlesbrough opener
ALAN Sheehan has described the 'buzz' since Snoop Dogg became a Swansea co-owner and explained how the Championship club plan to build on the feel-good factor. The 53-year-old American rapper joined a growing list of celebrity investors in British football last month by becoming part of a Swansea ownership group that already included Croatia midfield great Luka Modric. Multi award-winning Snoop said Swansea's 'underdog' story 'really struck a chord with me' and his vast following on social media – 89 million on Instagram and 20.5 million on X – quickly learned about the Welsh club and his love for Joe's ice cream in the city. 'To have Snoop and Luka on board is a massive benefit,' Swansea boss Sheehan said ahead of Saturday's league opener at Middlesbrough. 'There is a buzz, obviously. As a football club you have to become more appealing commercially, to be more competitive, and appeal to the wider nation. 'It's different to how it was maybe when I was a player, but I understand why, and I totally welcome it. 'Rome wasn't built in a day, but there are big plans for the football club. 'It's about building strong foundations and building that character and resilience within the football club.' RECOMMENDED READING: Inside Middlesbrough recruitment: 'In-depth lists', clarity and plan explained Max Arfsten transfer stance & Middlesbrough's next move after opening offer rejected Rav van den Berg Middlesbrough transfer state of play after rejected bids Comparisons with Wrexham, who are owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, are unavoidable and already being made. The two Welsh clubs are Championship rivals this season after Wrexham became the first team in the top five tiers of English football to win three successive promotions. A docu-series tracking life at Swansea, on similar lines to the award-winning FX show 'Welcome to Wrexham', is understood to be already in the pipeline. Asked if Swansea – who were relegated in 2018 after seven seasons in the Premier League – were the 'new' Wrexham, Sheehan said: 'No, we're Swansea. We're not new anything. 'Now they're in our division, I suppose, it becomes more there now (rivalry), but we don't play them until December. So I won't really be speaking about them until December.' Modric – who joined the board in April following a takeover led by American businessmen Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen six months earlier – was unveiled as an AC Milan player on Monday after his trophy-littered 13-year spell at Real Madrid ended this summer. The 39-year-old has played his part in Sheehan's summer recruitment strategy, actively persuading players to join the Welsh club. 'Obviously, his transfer situation… he was unavailable to come here,' smiled Sheehan. 'We've had a few text messages and he's involved. 'Luka has spoke to some players, passed on his knowledge, what he knows about the football club, and the plans that we have for it. 'Snoop and Luka are very invested in the club. They care, they speak through the ownership and the ownership are very good to us.' So will Grammy-nominated Snoop soon be swapping California for Swansea to watch a game? 'I believe so,' said Sheehan. 'But I'm not sure which game yet. It would be very naive and narrow-minded to think two very successful people in what they do could not help us. 'Successful people have a lot in common – a work ethic, a grit, a determination to get where they want to get to. So with Snoop, Luka and the ownership there is a lot of positivity around the football club.'

MGK Details Private Conversation with Taylor Swift as the Chiefs Were Losing 2025 Super Bowl
NEED TO KNOW MGK revealed a private conversation he and Taylor Swift had when the Kansas City Chiefs were losing the 2025 Super Bowl During an appearance on the Wednesday, Aug. 6, episode of ABC News Live, the pop-punk artist and rapper recalled how he initially thought it was going to be a "legendary night" for the Chiefs MGK's album Lost Americana is out Friday, Aug. 8MGK opened up about a private conversation he had with Taylor Swift while the Kansas City Chiefs were losing the 2025 Super Bowl. During an appearance on the Wednesday, Aug. 6, episode of ABC News Live, the pop-punk artist and rapper — whose real name is Colson Baker — recalled how he initially thought the Big Game was going to be a "legendary night" for the Chiefs. Instead, the Philadelphia Eagles won. "I was in Travis [Kelce's] suite, and at the beginning of it Taylor was like, 'Hell yeah we're gonna come watch you perform,' like it's gonna be crazy tonight," MGK, 35, said during the interview. "By the third quarter, dude, I was looking at that score, I went up to Taylor I was like, 'Y'all aren't coming tonight, huh?'" He added: "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 [so].'" MGK then commented on his bond with the NFL tight end, 35. "That's my dawg," the "cliché" artist said. "He's from Cleveland. He's from right next to where I'm from." MGK has opened up about his admiration for Swift, 35, and Kelce in the past. During an episode of Hot Ones Versus in April 24, he was asked multiple questions by Trippie Redd — with whom he collaborated on the Genre: Sadboy EP — about the couple while eating spicy wings. First, Redd, 26, referenced a previous offer MGK had made to hand over $1 million ($500,000 in cash and the same amount as a donation to their high schools Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights) if his friend Kelce left the Kansas City Chiefs and joined the Cleveland Browns. Then, he told MGK: 'Burn that bridge by saying three mean things about Taylor Swift.' 'Ladies and gentlemen, you have got to be out of your motherf---ing mind if you think I want any smoke with that fanbase,' the "vampire diaries" performer responded, staring directly at the camera while mentioning the Swifties. MGK added: 'Also, Taylor is a saint and very nice to me, and Travis is my bro." After the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl, Swift and Kelce spent time with MGK and his now-ex Megan Fox at an afterparty at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas. MGK's new album Lost Americana is due Friday, Aug. 8. Read the original article on People
