Travis Kelce's cousin's long-standing Chiefs fandom unveiled
Ashton Corum, identifiable by her TikTok username @carebearlover111, recently took to the platform to address and shut down assumptions about her allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs. On Wednesday, May 21, Corum posted a TikTok that swiftly went viral, offering compelling evidence of her genuine and long-standing support for the team, stemming from her direct family ties to star player Travis Kelce.
Responding to a hypothetical query that often targets new Chiefs fans, Corum depicted the scenario: "You like them because of Taylor Swift, right?" She then proceeded to dismantle this assumption with a visual narrative. The series of photos began with a casual shot of Corum holding a baby, captioned with the text, "Told him I was a Chiefs fan." This was followed by a picture of her on the beach, furthering the narrative with the overlaid question: "He said: 'oh you like them because of Taylor Swift, right?'"
The definitive proof arrived in the final slide: a touching collage of throwback photographs depicting Corum and Kelce across various stages of their lives.
These images included intimate family gatherings from their younger years and more recent on-field moments, showcasing Kelce in his distinctive red and gold Chiefs uniform. Corum succinctly captioned the post, "Been a fan #cousin," punctuated by two glaring emojis, underscoring her long-standing dedication.
The TikTok's immediate impact was significant, accumulating nearly 300,000 views and approximately 34,000 likes within a single day of its upload.

The comment section quickly filled with reactions from fans of both Kelce and Swift, many expressing astonishment at her familial connection. One user enthusiastically remarked, "I would put this one my resume."
The prospect of a "Tayvis" wedding also sparked speculative comments, with one user noting, "You're gonna be COUSINS with Taylor Swift," and another musing, "So in theory you will be at the Tayvis wedding and be one of the first and/or ONLY people to see her wedding dress ...
do you understand how blessed you are.'

Kim Kardashian backed off—Dating isn't coming easy for Tom Brady as insiders think he is still obsessed with with Gisele Bündchen
Tom Brady is reportedly struggling in the dating world (Getty Images) NFL legend Tom Brady might have conquered the football world, but his personal life seems to be stuck at the line of scrimmage. Nearly three years after his high-profile divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen, the 47-year-old seven-time Super Bowl champion is reportedly struggling to find lasting chemistry in the dating scene—and insiders claim it's largely his own doing. Obsessed with the past? Tom Brady's dates reportedly include rants about Gisele Bündchen and self-pity Despite Tom Brady's fame, fortune, and elite athlete looks, sources say his emotional baggage is pushing away even the most interested women. According to 'Word's getting around that Tom's a whiny, flaky man diva and not much fun to be around.' The report paints a picture of a man still caught up in the past, unable to move on from his former relationship. Women who have gone on dates with Brady, insiders claim, often come away unimpressed—not because he's not attractive or successful, but because the former quarterback can't stop talking about how miserable he is. 'He whines about his ex and it just puts off any potential partners,' one source told Radar. The emotional wallowing hasn't just affected his everyday dating prospects—it's allegedly soured potential flings with A-list celebrities too. Even Kim Kardashian, once rumored to be flirting with the idea of dating the NFL star, has supposedly backed off. 'Even Kim Kardashian has given up the idea of dating him because he's wallowing around,' the source noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Gisele Bündchen has moved on—leaving Tom Brady seemingly stuck in limbo While Bündchen enjoys a reportedly fulfilling relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente and embraces a modern, blended family dynamic, Brady's romantic life has remained stagnant. Friends say his current behavior is only making things worse. 'When he is on dates, he just talks about himself and how miserable he is,' one insider added. 'That is never attractive to the opposite sex.' Even Brady's Met Gala appearance—an event where star power usually shines—did little to improve his image. Though surrounded by admirers, onlookers claimed he seemed distant and disengaged. One source summed it up bluntly: 'Unless he changes his strategy, he's never going to be able to get back in the game.' Whether Brady can bounce back emotionally the way he did on the field remains to be seen.

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the US after being detained by ICE
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.
