Questions Kelce brothers should ask Taylor Swift on 'New Heights'
In honor of Swift's 12th album, here are 12 questions the Kelce brothers should ask Swift.
Is there any part of you that still roots for the Eagles?
As Jason Kelce noted in the introduction clip that made social-media rounds Wednesday, Swift is from Pennsylvania originally. Her previous Eagles fandom is well-documented. With the Eagles and Chiefs playing each other in two of the last three Super Bowls, it's worth asking.
What was her reaction to being booed at the Super Bowl?
In New Orleans in February, the Caesars Superdome jumbotron showed Swift in the first half. The boos came ferociously - on brand from the Eagles contingent. Sometimes, it's your own people who turn against you the most.
Who's her favorite player on the Chiefs - not named Travis Kelce or Patrick Mahomes?
The qualification of this question is key. Obviously No. 1 is "Trav." Mahomes is too easy of a copout. Make her go down the roster and reveal some of the knowledge she's picked up.
How many songs on the new album are about Travis?
"So High School" alluded to the Chiefs tight end on her most recent album. But after a couple of years of worldwide and whirlwind romance, there has to be more, right?
How many lyrics are about the Chiefs? Or football in general?
And with that will certainly come some references to "Chiefs Kingdom" or the gridiron, one would presume.
Who was the best hang at the Super Bowl 58 after-party?
Swift and Kelce were part of the Chiefs' crew that partied in Vegas after last year's Super Bowl win. Did anybody impress her with their dancing or partying ability?
Are you engaged?
Jason Kelce is not afraid to poke the bear. There has to be at least one question about whether the Travis Kelce-Swift relationship is taking the next step.
Will she do Kylie Kelce's podcast next?
Now that she's done one Kelce podcast, what's another one? Jason's wife, Kylie, is the host of "Not Gonna Lie."
Who's the ideal crew to fill her suite at the game?
Sophie Turner. Sabrina Carpenter. Ryan Reynolds. Ice Spice. Caitlin Clark. Donna Kelce (the Kelce brothers' mother). Brittany Mahomes. Swift has been joined by a number of friends and family at games.
Is she the Chiefs' good-luck charm?
The Chiefs are 19-4 with Swift in attendance at games. But 1-1 in Super Bowls.
What has it been like getting to know the Kelce family?
From the aforementioned Kylie and Jason, to Travis' parents Donna and Ed, gaining an understanding of how she vibes with her (potential) future in-laws would be insightful.
Which artist have you not yet collaborated with that you would like to? Any reveals for the upcoming album?
Let the hunt for "Easter Eggs" begin.

Did Taylor Swift copy an A-list pop star's iconic look?
When Taylor Swift unveiled the burlesque artwork for her 12th studio album The Life of a Showgirl, she could be seen wearing a rhinestone bra, fringed arm bands, and a bedazzled nude thong which seemed familiar. The 35-year-old pop star might have taken inspiration from one of her idols, Britney Spears, who donned a very similar set designed by Bob Mackie for her $53.3M-grossing, 69-date Dream within a Dream Tour in 2001. The 86-year-old designer - who was a favorite of Cher and Carol Burnett - originally created The Ziegfeld Follies-inspired glittery pieces for the 1981 Las Vegas stage production Jubilee! On April 1, Julien's Auctions sold the 43-year-old Grammy winner's bra, panties, and armbands for an eye-popping $78K. The reproduction of Britney's bedazzled, low-waisted Levi's 501 medium wash jeans - designed by Corbin Struck - were sold for $2,925. In 2023, Spears posted about the time she originally met Taylor backstage at her $40.9M-grossing, 88-date Oops!... I Did It Again Tour circa 2000-2001. 'My good friend at the time was the assistant to my manager who was trying to become a manager himself,' the semi-retired pop star - who boasts 41.8M Instagram followers - wrote. 'There was a knock, and then he said, "I have a girl named Taylor who wants to come in and sing for you." I was like of course! He walks in, and she sings a beautiful song with her guitar. 'I was like, "Wow wow she's unbelievable!" We took a picture, and she then became the most iconic pop woman of our generation. Kinda cool she plays stadiums, and I prefer her videos over movies any day. She's stunning! Girl crush!' The feeling was certainly mutual as Swift gushed to GMA in 2004: 'I think Britney Spears is awesome just because she has this aura that, you know, being around her in real life people just change and she's just so just awesome that way. 'She has this aura that people just can't resist. And that's what I love about Britney Spears because she's just like nobody else and she's very different.' The 14-time Grammy winner announced Wednesday on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast New Heights that she will release The Life of a Showgirl on October 3. Taylor's 12-track record includes two songs - Ruin the Friendship and CANCELLED! - which many predict to be about the deterioration of her friendship with Blake Lively. The canceled 37-year-old allegedly blackmailed Swift in February by threatening to release a decade of private text messages if she didn't issue a statement of support amid her Justin Baldoni legal war. On May 30, the How Does It End singer regained the masters to her first six studio albums - Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. Spears wrote: 'She sings a beautiful song with her guitar. I was like, "Wow wow she's unbelievable!" We took a picture, and she then became the most iconic pop woman of our generation. Kinda cool she plays stadiums, and I prefer her videos over movies any day. She's stunning! Girl crush!' The canceled 37-year-old (L, pictured in 2023) allegedly blackmailed Swift in February by threatening to release a decade of private text messages if she didn't issue a statement of support amid her Justin Baldoni legal war Billboard reported that Taylor spent around $360M to buy back her music catalog from Shamrock Capital after 'bully' Scooter Braun sold her masters to the private equity firm in 2020 (a year after buying them from Big Machine) Meanwhile, Britney will soon launch her first-ever jewelry brand, B. Tiny, and she's also said to be hands on with her fully-authorized biopic for Universal Pictures helmed by Wicked director Jon M. Chu. Spears - who recently joked about adopting 'a beautiful baby girl' - will next celebrate the 19th birthday of her son Jayden Federline on September 12 immediately followed by her son Sean Federline's 20th birthday on September 14. Last November, the Hold Me Closer hitmaker made her final $20K child support payment to second ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she was only married to for two years before their 2007 divorce. Britney's 47-year-old former back-up dancer amassed $5M in support payments during the 17 years he had primary custody of their sons.

Taylor Swift reveals that steamy Nicole Kidman scene is inspiration for track from new album The Life of a Showgirl
When Taylor Swift announced her new album The Life Of A Showgirl last week she said the 12 tracks were inspired by the 'joyful, wild, dramatic' times in her life. Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal one song in particular was influenced by some very raunchy scenes involving Nicole Kidman. The Australian actress starred in the racy thriller Babygirl last year as a high-powered CEO seduced by a younger colleague played by Harris Dickinson, 29. But it was one erotic scene that caught Ms Swift's attention as Mr Dickinson lap-danced half-naked for Ms Kidman, 58, to the George Michael track Father Figure. So inspired was Ms Swift that she has chosen to reimagine the 1987 single on the new album, set to be released on October 3. 'Taylor is a huge fan of Nicole and has been so grateful for her support over the years,' a source close to the singer said. 'She always makes sure to watch Nicole's movies and loved Babygirl. She just couldn't get that song out of her head and it has proven a real inspiration for this new track.' Ms Kidman has known Ms Swift since she was a teenager, after she and her husband singer Keith Urban discovered the then-fledgling country singer. She said: 'We listened to Love Story. I remember thinking she was going to be huge – the rest is history.' Since supporting Mr Urban on his 2009 tour when she was 19, Ms Swift has become one of the most successful artists of all time, having sold 114 million albums and completed a 152-date world tour that made £1.5billion. The actress has posted pictures with the singer over the years, describing them as 'Folklore sisters' in reference to one of Ms Swift's albums. In 2018, Ms Kidman even skipped her husband's concert to take her daughters, Faith Margaret and Sunday Rose, to see the singer perform that night. She shared a photo of herself hugging the pop star backstage, writing: 'Thank you Taylor Swift for your kindness to my girls and me. Beautiful woman inside and out. Your talent is extraordinary.' The Kidman-inspired track has been described as an 'interpolation' of George Michael's hit and will feature new lyrics by Ms Swift, but sample his melody. Kenny Goss said his late partner Mr Michael 'would've been proud' of the tribute. While he never met Ms Swift, he 'would've appreciated someone of her calibre taking an interest in his work'. Ms Swift said: 'This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour... It comes from the most infectiously joyful, wild, dramatic place I was in in my life.'

Patrick Mahomes reveals secret ingredient that makes his marriage to wife Brittany work
has claimed his wife Brittany is 'just as competitive' as him as he gushed about his wife in a new interview. While the Chiefs quarterback and three-time Super Bowl winner has had a historic start to his NFL career, Brittany was formerly an athlete in her own right as well as the pair attended Whitehouse High School together. The now mom-of-three starred as a soccer player at the Texas school and later went on to play collegiately at the University of Texas at Tyler. She even played professionally for one season in Iceland. And while her soccer (playing) career is now over, her husband recognizes that their shared competitiveness is a major boon for their marriage. 'There's no better feeling than having someone by your side who is just as competitive as you and supports you in everything you do,' the quarterback told People. He added of their time together in high school: 'Whether it was her in soccer or me in football or baseball, we both understood the level of commitment it takes.' Aside from raising their three children together, Brittany and Patrick have also teamed up as co-owners of NWSL team the KC Current, who debuted last March. The couple welcomed their most recent child, Golden Raye, back in January, and Patrick recently beamed about how his wife handled the pregnancy of the couple's second daughter. 'Brittany crushed it. I was watching playoff games the entire day. She went to labor after one game,' Patrick Mahomes recalled in a clip of new ESPN documentary 'The Kingdom' which aired on the latest episode of 'Good Morning America.' 'Baby was here before the next game, so I didn't even miss a playoff game. So, she is as locked in as I am as far as football goes.' The couple welcomed their first child, Sterling Skye, in 2021 before their son, Patrick III ('Bronze') was born the following year. Brittany and Patrick also got married in March 2022 after his Chiefs lost to the Bengals in the AFC Championship. Back in July, the family-of-five enjoyed some time together in Mexico ahead of yet another grueling NFL season. In one photo, a beaming Mahomes sat alongside his wife and their children on the couch of their vacation home in one of the pictures and held Golden Raye up for the photo. In another, the Chiefs passer was seen holding hands with Bronze as they walked down a path on the holiday resort. Mahomes is now back training with the Chiefs as they prepare for their first game of the season on September 5. He played sparingly in Kansas City's preseason opener against the Cardinals last week, and did not appear against the Seahawks on Friday.
