MGK Reveals What Taylor Swift Said to Him While Watching the Chiefs Lose the 2025 Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs' disappointing loss at the 2025 Super Bowl is one that fans of the team — including Taylor Swift and MGK — will remember all too well. Both musicians were present at the big game against the Philadelphia Eagles in February, with the pop star there to support boyfriend Travis Kelce and the former rapper on site to cheer on Kansas City before performing at the team's afterparty later that night. But while hopes that the Chiefs could snag a 'three-peat' Super Bowl win were high at the beginning of the game, they quickly faltered as the Eagles kept scoring to win 40-22 — something MGK reflected on talking to Swift about that day in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday (Aug. 6). More from Billboard If Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Get Married, Andy Reid Has a 'Lot of Great Stories' to Tell at Their Wedding MGK Searches for 'Lost Americana' on New Album Cosigned by Bob Dylan: Stream It Now MGK Says His Haters Are Just 'Conformists' Who Pretend to Dislike Him to 'Fit In' 'I was in Travis' suite, and at the beginning of it, Taylor was like, 'Hell yeah, we're gonna come watch you perform, it's gonna be crazy tonight,'' the musician began. 'Internally, I was stoked. I was like, 'Oh what a legendary night this is gonna be.'' 'By the third quarter, dude, I was looking at that score,' he continued, laughing at the memory. 'I went up to Taylor, I was like, 'Y'all aren't coming tonight, huh?' She was like, 'I don't think so, man. I'll see if I can get [Travis] to get out, but I don't think [so].'' MGK still had to perform at the losing team's post-game party in New Orleans that night — a gig he does not recommend to other artists. 'Don't ever sign yourself up for that,' he said before joking, 'Wait to sign the paper 'til third quarter or something, 'til it looks like it's going one way or the other.' But while the afterparty was a little bit grim, MGK will always support Kelce — a fellow Ohioan — and the rest of the Chiefs. 'That's my dawg,' the artist added of the athlete. 'He's from Cleveland. He's from right next to where I'm from.' Shortly after the interview, MGK went on to release his new album, Lost Americana, on Friday (Aug. 8). With none other than Bob Dylan in his corner during the rollout, his rootsy new project marks a shift away from the hip-hop and pop-punk genres he previously experimented with. As for the Chiefs, Kelce and his teammates have been hard at work training for the upcoming season, which kicks off in early September. And after becoming a mainstay at Arrowhead Stadium throughout the past two NFL seasons after beginning her romance with the tight end in 2023, Swift is expected to appear at even more games this year now that she's finished her global Eras Tour.

Chicago Rolls Out The Hits And More During N.Y.C. Tour Stop
Despite the moniker, the rock group Chicago has important ties to New York City; it was where the band from the Windy City recorded their now-classic debut album, The Chicago Transit Authority, 56 years ago. That double record launched a legendary career built on mostly horn-powered rock and pop hits — among them '25 or 6 to 4,' 'Make Me Smile,' 'Saturday in the Park,' 'If You Leave Me Now' and 'You're The Inspiration' — that continues to this day. Fittingly, Chicago, which is currently led by original members Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane and James Pankow, returned to New York this past Wednesday for a sold-out show at the Beacon Theatre, where they played two hours' worth of their hits and more. The concert coincided with the recent reissue of Chicago IX: Chicago's Greatest Hits on its 50th anniversary, and now includes additional songs from the band's 1969-1980 period. The show opened with the aptly named 'Introduction,' from 1969's The Chicago Transit Authority album, which reminded the audience members of Chicago's early progressive jazz-rock roots before they evolved into Top 40 hitmakers. After that, it was an evening of wall-to-wall favorites such as 'Dialogue (Part I & II),' 'Old Days,' 'Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?', 'Beginnings,' 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry/Get Away' and 'Hard Habit to Break.' They also performed the entire 'Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" suite (originally from the 1970 album Chicago, also known as Chicago II), which featured 'Make Me Smile" and 'Colour My World," and unveiled a deep cut, Mongonucleosis," from Chicago VII. The band's encore ended the show on an exuberant note with raucous 'Free' and, of course, the blistering rocker '25 or 6 to 4.' Though the die-hard fans at the Beacon might have wished Chicago had played an additional favorite or two of theirs, they would be very hard-pressed to complain about this satisfactory overview of the band's catalog. Each member from Chicago's present lineup shone through during those two hours—among them trumpeter Loughane, trombonist Pankow and woodwinds player Ray Herrmann; lead singer Neil Donell, especially on 'You're the Inspiration'; drummer Walfredo Reyes Jr. and percussionist Ramon Yslas for their solos on 'I'm a Man'; and guitarist Tony Obrohta, who delivered some fiery riffng on '25 or 6 to 4.' Just before the concert began, a giant video screen behind the stage showed every Chicago album the band has released in reverse chronological order, featuring the famed logo (at last count, it was 40 albums). It's a testament to the band's longevity and decades' worth of hit songs — all of which were on full display at the Beacon show. Chicago's current tour continues through Set I: Introduction Dialogue (Part I & II) Questions 67 & 68 Call on Me (I've Been) Searchin' So Long Mongonucleosis If You Leave Me Now Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon: Make Me Smile/So Much to Say, So Much to Give/Anxiety's Moment/West Virginia Fantasies/Colour My World/To Be Free/Now More Than EverSet II: Alive Again Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

Patrick Mahomes opened up for first time about his dad's arrest in new Chiefs doc
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes opened up for the first time about his father's 2024 arrest for driving while intoxicated right before the Super Bowl. 'It was during that Super Bowl week. It became a story and so I had to answer questions about it,' Mahomes said in the ESPN docuseries 'The Kingdom,' which airs on Aug. 14. Mahomes' father Pat, a former New York Mets pitcher, has a history of arrests and stints in jail for DWI convictions. In Feb. 2024, just days before his son won a third Super Bowl, he was arrested for another and served 10 days in jail. Advertisement 'I think just knowing that it hurt me, woke him up to know that like you can't keep doing the same things,' Mahomes said. In the docuseries, Pat admits how he felt after his son was forced to field questions about his arrest. 4 Patrick Mahomes reflected on his father Pat's 2024 arrest in the new Kansas City Chiefs docuseries 'The Kingdom.' Getty Images Advertisement 'It kind of hit home before the Super Bowl last year, when I got in trouble. For him to have to answer questions about me, you know, was probably the most embarrassing thing that I've ever been through in my life,' he revealed. 'I called him right after … I said, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry that it's taken away from your time and focus.' … I made a vow that he would never have to deal with anything because of drinking because of me. I haven't had a drink since then.' Mahomes' wife Brittany also spoke about her father-in-law's road to recovery in the doc. 'I think it finally hit him that, you know, 'I have my kids watching me, I have my grandkids now that are watching me,'' she said. Advertisement 'He really enjoys watching his son play football and live out his dream.' And Mahomes agreed. 4 It was Mahomes' agent who pointed out that the quarterback's interview for the docuseries was the very first time he spoke publicly about his dad's arrest. ESPN/Words + Pictures 'For him to be there supporting me, that's really cool cause those moments are just moments that you won't ever get again and he's been there for all of them this last year,' he said. Advertisement 'The Kingdom's' two-time Emmy Award winning director, Kristen Lappas, who conducted 120 hours of interviews for the docuseries, also wasn't expecting Mahomes' father to speak with her. 4 Mahomes' dad Pat was a pitcher for the Mets. New York Post 'I was surprised that his dad agreed to sit down for an interview and was as forthcoming as he was about his struggles. I do think it allows you to understand Patrick in a different and new way,' she said. Lappas, whose father Steve was a college basketball coach at schools like Villanova University, was told her experience as a 'coach's kid' would help her to earn the trust of Chiefs coach Andy Reid — who was 'apprehensive' about the project at first. 'He is notoriously known as one of the coaches that is old school, doesn't let cameras in his locker rooms, doesn't let people around the practice facility,' explained Lappas, whose recent projects include 'Full Court Press,' a docuseries on WNBA stars Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso and Kiki Rice, and 'Giannis: The Marvelous Journey,' about NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Lappas and her crew were given access to the Chiefs' field at Arrowhead Stadium; locker room; training room; and their underground archive room, the first time cameras were ever let into the space. 4 Lappas, the daughter of former Division I men's basketball coach Steve, got exclusive access to spots like the Chiefs' archive room. Heather S. Smith 'The Chiefs have kept their artifacts and library down there for half a century. And no player or coach had ever been brought down there. So that was like the real organic reaction from the guys being down in the caves, they call them. They looked like little kids.' Advertisement In the scene, Chief tight end Travis Kelce, who earns around $17 million a year, commented on a check that dated back to 1961 for $48.50 — the amount a player got paid for one game. Adjusted for inflation, it's $521.44. 'Back then, that was like a million dollars though, right?' he quipped.
