Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce share 3 rare insights into private relationship
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have shared new intimate details about their romance with the world in the New Heights podcast.
They are one of the hottest celebrity couples in the world and they have been going strong for two years. The couple joined the NFL player's brother Jason to talk everything from Swift's new album The Life of a Showgirl to their relationship.
Pop star Swift is usually shy when it comes to talking about her romance but NFL player Kelce has made no secret that he is the "happiest man in the world".
Travis Kelce's big romantic gesture
Their love story started with a public gesture.
Kelce pinned his hopes on a chance meeting at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in July 2023 where she was performing her Eras tour. The sportsman wanted to gift the singer a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it but he never got to meet her after the show.
Kelce wore his heart on his sleeve as he detailed his plans on a podcast which got Swift's attention and she cheekily quipped it become his "dating app". His heartfelt actions led to their first meeting. "This dude didn't get a meet and greet, and he's making it everyone's problem," she said. Swift teased her boyfriend saying he had a "man tantrum".

The Life of a Showgirl singer said it was a movie moment. She said: "[It] felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie, and he was standing outside of my window with a boombox saying, 'I want to date you! Do you want to go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet! Do you want to date me?"
It was the love story she had been dreaming would happen to her since she was a teenager. "I was like, if this guy isn't crazy — which is a big if — this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager," she said.
Green flags
There were no red flags for the couple. Swift and Kelce revealed the "green flags" they both spotted early on in their relationship.
For Swift, she loves that Kelce has the same friendship circle. "Travis has had the same friends since he was probably four years old," she said. "And he's incredibly good at maintaining friendships and he's so loyal and his friends are equally loyal. They're just the funniest, most hilarious group of people."
Kelce loves that Swift was willing to go through the front door of the stadium to watch him play, despite being an international star.
"You wanna talk about green flags?" He said. "The first game she went to, the Bears game, she literally went through the front door of the stadium, though general admission, with everybody on the bus to the game. I was like, 'Oh, she's just in it. She's down for the ride. She's here for the fun.'"
Making sourdough bread together
They may be superstars in their own fields but they showed they are down-to-earth. Away from the stage, the couple bake sourdough bread together in their downtime.
"There's chest hair in his and cat hair in mine," Swift joked of making sourdough bread. "Both inedible." Swift said they have set up a workstation for her and one for Kelce.
"I'm always baking bread and texting my friends for feedback," Swift shared. "I'm on sourdough blogs, there's a whole community of us... There's people like me out there. This is where the internet is good."

The docuseries ‘Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' isn't bad, except the Tom Brady parts
Well, here's the basic timeline. Appreciated every extraordinary thing he did on the field during his 20 years with the Patriots … recognized he was getting weird on us with stuff like the Alex Guerrero connection, offensively overpriced TB12 gear, and the no-mushroom policy, but hey, his unprecedented late-career excellence made for a heck of a case on his behalf … cringed when the formerly down-to-earth young QB who used to chug beers faster than his linemen started pushing crypto and running with the oligarch class… watched almost every broadcast of his rookie season as Fox's lead NFL analyst last fall, eventually concluding that the reason he didn't show much personality is that it might not be there to show … But the tipping point that brought on the aforementioned realization was Brady's behavior in his version of a current trend among the rich, famous, and presumably bored — buying an English soccer team, and making a documentary about it in which the star is the rescuing hero. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham: Brady & the Blues' is a five-episode docuseries that debuted at the end of July on Amazon Prime. It's about a Champions League soccer team (the second tier in English soccer, below the Premier League) that Brady and his private equity pal Tom Wagner recognize as an undervalued asset (always heart-warming when vultures find their food) and purchase, with Brady taking on minority ownership but with full boss duties. Advertisement 'Built in Birmingham' is not bad at all. The city (gritty, industrial, and full of amusingly blunt fans that will remind you of specific Ted Lasso side characters), players (the third episode, featuring star player Jay Stansfield's back story, is the best in the series), and the team (whose history roughly resembles the Red Sox' from 1919-2003) are compelling. The problem is it's far less interesting when Brady is around. He speaks to the players in bromides and banalities — 'We practice like it's the Super Bowl' — about his time with the Patriots (and Bucs), which he seems to presume these futbol players know from A to Z and XXXVI to LV. He punctuates his Cliff Notes Tony Robbins proclamations with a specific expletive so often that it's a wonder it hasn't slipped through on a Fox broadcast. Related : When he is involved, Brady — who describes his role as 'being there in a visionary role' — only seems authentic when he's belittling something or angry. He joins his friends in talking condescendingly about the city and the team as they're on he way to see the Blues' aged facilities for the first time. Before a game against Wrexham — famously owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney — Brady tells the camera, 'Let's go get a [expletive] win against Wrexham ... Ryan Reynolds, Mackilrey, whatever your [expletive] name is.' Advertisement When Wagner informs Brady that putting together a swag bag for visiting legend David Beckham would be considered a faux pas — Beckham never played for the team — Brady gets a look on his face that suggests Joey Galloway just ran the wrong route again. He tells Wagner through a scowl that Beckham should be gifted something anyway. He likes to talk about how he was an underdog, but he comes across as someone who can no longer remember what that was like, or what he was like. The most off-putting scene occurred in the opening episode when Brady, Wagner, and his team strategized in the back of an SUV before popping into a local pub to meet some fans for a quick public-relations opportunity and a few more Lasso vibes. 'We have to feel this one out, boys,'' Brady says. 'This is not my thing.' He's told it will only be 15 minutes. He asks if he'll be signing autographs. The pop-in is designed to make him look like a man of the people. He's friendly enough once he's in the pub, but we know how he really feels. His people these days aren't the ones chugging beers. I was hoping while watching the series that Brady might have a revelation by the fifth episode, ditch the processed corporate speak, abandon the arrogant expectation that whatever he says carries weight because of what he accomplished in the NFL, and show some authentic emotion, like he did after winning those first few Super Bowls. I was hoping any success he found in Birmingham would remind him of his best times with the Patriots, and thereby bring out genuine emotions. Related : Advertisement Instead, that happened with, of all people, Wagner, the calculating investor, who by the end is fully invested in the people on this team. I won't spoil the circumstances, because this show is worth watching, despite the Brady frustrations. In the fifth episode, Wagner makes a truly stirring and heartfelt speech, and as I was watching it, I couldn't help but think, 'Man, when the private-equity guy can summon more passion than Tom Brady, that's awfully damning.' Hmmm. Maybe Fox should give Wagner a shot as its lead NFL analyst. Tom Brady comes back to Gillette Stadium for the unveiling of this statue before the New England Patriots preseason game versus the Washington Commanders. Chad Finn can be reached at

SUPERMAN Concept Art and Photos Reveal First Look At Kal-El's Suit Without The Divisive Red Trunks — GeekTyrant
We have our first look at what Superman might have looked like without one of his most recognizable wardrobe choices. Newly revealed concept art gives fans a glimpse of an alternate version of the suit designed for Superman, one that skips the red trunks entirely. Graphic and surface designer Maybelle Pineda shared the behind-the-scenes concept on social media, offering a peek at an early take on the Man of Steel's costume. And yes, the red trunks were nowhere to be seen. Without them, the design feels oddly incomplete, almost like something you'd find on a knock-off toy version of the character. There's a strange nakedness to it, even if everything else about the design remains the same. There was a serious debate behind the scenes about whether or not the red trunks should make a return in the DCU. It echoes the earlier decision made by Zack Snyder to ditch the trunks in his interpretation with Henry Cavill, a move that sparked plenty of controversy back in the day. Initially, Superman director James Gunn was leaning in the same direction. "We were trying on all these different versions, and we screened tested with trunks and no trunks," Gunn explained to io9 during an on-set interview last year. "And one of the things David said is that Superman wants kids to not be afraid of him. 'He's an alien. He's got these incredible powers. He shoots beams out of his eyes… He's this incredibly powerful, could be considered scary, individual and he wants people to like him. He wants to be a symbol of hope and positivity. So he dresses like a professional wrestler. He dresses in a way that makes people unafraid of him, that shows that hope that shows that positivity. And that really clicked in for me. 'And I think trying to pretend that Superman's costume doesn't have some frivolity to it at its base, trying to make it look serious, is silly because he is a superhero. He's the first one, brightly colored and that's who he is." It turns out we have David Corenswet to thank for standing up for the red trunks. His argument wasn't just about tradition, it was about what Superman represents to the world. That visual cue, however campy it may seem to some, carries weight. It's about tone and symbolism. Corenswet pushed for the classic look, and thankfully, he got through to Gunn. So while this trunk-less concept may never see the light of day on screen, it's an interesting glimpse into the creative process behind one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. And it shows just how close we came to another red-trunkless Superman in the DC Universe.
