Travis Kelce and Justin Timberlake's viral dance moment raises eyebrows—when did these two become so close?
Travis Kelce and Justin Timberlake break the internet with dance and lip-sync during epic golf hangout (Credit: Getty Images) Travis Kelce turned heads again, but this time, it had nothing to do with football or Taylor Swift . Instead, it was his unexpected bromance with pop icon Justin Timberlake that left fans both amused and curious. A viral video recently shared by Timberlake captured the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dancing and lip-syncing on a golf course—alongside the former *NSYNC star and comedian Andrew Santino. And while most were laughing at Kelce's smooth (and sometimes goofy) moves, others couldn't help but wonder: When did these two actually become so tight? Travis Kelce and Justin Timberlake steal the show with golf course dance party The clip, which was uploaded to Instagram, opened with Justin Timberlake casually telling the camera, 'It's a real easy vibe today.' Moments later, Travis Kelce took center stage, pretending to sing the opening verse of Midnight Star's 'Curious' into a golf club. He grooved left and right, swayed his hips to the beat, and seemed totally in his element as Timberlake and Santino joined in, forming an impromptu boy band. Kelce eventually broke out into his own rhythm, spinning and shaking as the green became his dance floor. Timberlake couldn't hold back his laughter, dapping him up before the video cut off. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo The caption from Timberlake said it all: 'We are just @killatrav's backup dancers now.' Kelce chimed in with, 'The vibes were unmatched!!' and Santino added, 'The tequila had me leaning 😂.' But here's the twist—this wasn't some random celebrity hangout. Kelce and Timberlake actually go way back. While their viral dance had fans wondering if this was a budding bromance, it turns out the two have been golfing buddies since at least 2021. Long before Swift entered Kelce's life, Timberlake and the NFL star had already formed a bond over their shared love of golf. Timberlake has been involved with celebrity golf tournaments for years and even co-founded a golf-themed restaurant with Tiger Woods. Kelce, meanwhile, will be appearing in the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2, further proving his off-field love for the sport. Their recent hangout took place in Las Vegas during Timberlake's 8AM Invitational at the Wynn Casino. Kelce's brother, Jason, joined the fun and shared on the New Heights podcast that he was 'really struggling' during the tournament and even got 'audibly laughed' at for his golf game. But the night wasn't over. Jason redeemed himself with a karaoke performance of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart,' while Travis kept his own song choice under wraps—though one can only hope it was an NSYNC throwback like 'Digital Getdown.' This moment, equal parts goofy and wholesome, isn't just internet fodder—it's a glimpse into Kelce's growing circle and how fame, football, and fun can intersect. With his NFL legacy already secure and his Hollywood presence rising, Kelce continues to surprise fans—not with touchdowns, but with tequila-fueled dance moves and unexpected friendships.

‘John & Paul' Review: When Lennon Met McCartney
John Lennon was a tough Liverpool teenager with a well-earned reputation—a rocker with a volatile streak—when he first encountered Paul McCartney. It was a summer day in 1957. John's skiffle band the Quarrymen were playing a local gig, and Paul was amazed to see John playing the difficult-to-find-in-England R&B hits and inventing lyrics to boot. Wary and slightly shy but profoundly convinced of his own ability, Paul eventually contrived an audience during which an impressed John watched him perform Eddie Cochran's 'Twenty Flight Rock' and fell in love. As Ian Leslie writes in 'John & Paul, A Love Story in Songs,' once Paul joined the Quarrymen on guitar (he would later switch to bass), he and John became best friends. More significantly, they became writing partners. The Liverpool scene was teeming with rock 'n' roll acts playing Carl Perkins and Little Richard tunes. In their early days, that's what the Quarrymen—later renamed the Beatles and eventually joined by George Harrison and Ringo Starr—would do as well. But in the private teenage terrarium of their flourishing imaginations, John and Paul had already dreamed something bigger. Their inspirations were brilliant songwriting teams: Leiber and Stoller or Gershwin and Gershwin. A shared vision for what was to come led to the fateful decision to be co-credited as Lennon-McCartney. Describing an early miracle, Mr. Leslie rightfully stipulates that 'the musical genius of 'She Loves You' is as easy to miss because its effect is so immediate.' Paul's sentimental heart and John's exuberant screaming met the charming mayhem of a perfectly-formed foursome. The telepathic rapport of John, Paul, George and Ringo sprung from the bonding that occurs after shared triumph and trauma: long days and nights toiling in obscurity, followed by the hothouse of their early fame. Mr. Leslie has written multiple books about topics in psychology, including 'Curious' (2014) and 'Conflicted' (2021), and here he combines his interest in the workings of the mind with a focus on how emotion fueled his subjects' songs. 'John & Paul' shows us that the band's collective closeness grew out of an earlier intimacy between the Beatles' twinned geniuses. It celebrates the convoluted, beautiful and tragic nature of a songwriting partnership that still reverberates across the universe. Both young men encountered unusual depths of grief when in their teens. Paul's mother, Mary, was the anchor and major breadwinner for his close-knit family. Her diagnosis with cancer and subsequent death occurred in horribly quick succession. John, meanwhile, was raised by his Aunt Mimi after his slightly wild mother, Julia, was judged unfit for the care of a child. At 17, John was beginning to reconnect with Julia when she was pointlessly struck dead by a the Lennon-McCartney partnership was a force of life, it was stalked by these and other deaths: The former Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe died at 21, their beloved manager Brian Epstein at 27. In each instance, the bandmates proceeded with an obsessive work ethic that mirrored the 'keep calm and carry on' mantra of their parents' war-worn generation. One way to read the Beatles' outpouring of songs is as a pent-up, exhilarated, terrified and kaleidoscopic breakthrough of that decadeslong, carefully managed energy.
