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.

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.

According to Billboard, Swift reportedly paid around $360 million for the rights to those recordings.

Travis Kelce flirted with the idea of retirement after the Chiefs lost in Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles. But the 35-year-old will be back for the 2025 season, which is the final season of his current contract.

After winning the first two outings of their four-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco, the San Diego Padres failed to sustain their form, as they lost the final two contests. Advertisement They punctuated that series with a 3-2 loss on Thursday night, but if there's one positive takeaway for San Diego from that contest, it's that star third baseman Manny Machado reached a major milestone with his 350th career home run in the big leagues. San Diego announced Machado's impressive achievement with a post on social media. 'Manny is the moment,' San Diego's caption read.

Aliyah Boston Makes Blunt Admission About Controversial Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese Incident
Aliyah Boston Makes Blunt Admission About Controversial Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese Incident originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One more chapter of the rivalry between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky will take place on Saturday as Angel Reese and Co. host the Fever at Wintrust Arena. Advertisement Unfortunately, Caitlin Clark will not be able to take the floor as the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year continues to deal with a quad strain that will force her to miss her fourth straight game on Saturday. There was no shortage of action when these two stars last faced off earlier in the season. In fact, Clark was called for a flagrant after a hard foul on Reese, who, for her part, made it abundantly clear that she did not appreciate the contact. Fever forward Aliyah Boston got involved in the altercation, too. Boston shoved Reese as the Sky star went after Clark, which resulted in Boston getting whistled for a technical foul. In the video later posted by espnW, Boston was seen reacting after learning that she was assessed with a technical foul for her role in the incident. As it turns out, she still remains in disbelief over this unexpected turn of events. Advertisement A fan brought up the incident to Boston as she was signing autographs after practice, which prompted a blunt admission from the Fever All-Star. "AB got the tech?" asked the fan. "And I still can't believe it," Boston responded, shaking her head. Clark won't be able to take the floor on Saturday, but Boston will. She will get an opportunity to go face-to-face against Reese in what should be a nice matchup between the two All-Stars. The Sky will be looking to get some revenge in this upcoming matchup after the Fever humiliated them in their last meeting via a 93-58 blowout at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
