Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding set for September in Montecito
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially tying the knot in a star-studded wedding this September in Montecito, California—and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be among the VIP guests. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024 after over a year of dating, have finalized plans for what is described as a relaxed but elegant two-day celebration in Santa Barbara County. According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, the wedding weekend will feature close friends and family only, keeping the event intimate despite the celebrity names involved. Taylor Swift, Gomez's best friend of over 15 years, and her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, are both expected to attend. Invitations have already gone out, and guests were reportedly instructed to bring overnight bags, suggesting the festivities will extend throughout the weekend. The guest list is rumored to include several A-list names, including Steve Martin and Martin Short—Selena's co-stars on Only Murders in the Building—as well as musical artists who have collaborated with Blanco over the years. While the Kansas City Chiefs have a full NFL schedule lined up in September, fans are wondering if Kelce will be able to attend alongside Swift. The Chiefs face games nearly every weekend that month, which may create a scheduling conflict. Still, the upcoming wedding is expected to be a major moment for fans of the couple and their inner circle, celebrating love, friendship, and one of the most high-profile celebrity unions of the year.

NFL Coordinator Offers League Warning About Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes
NFL Coordinator Offers League Warning About Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hasn't played up to his usual standards over the last couple of seasons, but despite that, he's won a Super Bowl and been to another. Advertisement Some have said that Mahomes, at just 29 years old, has already peaked, while others think the Chiefs' dynasty is going to come to an abrupt end in 2025. Now, we aren't there yet, taking a until we see it approach it will be as you were for the Chiefs, and when it comes to the "down" play of Patrick, which we know is true, an NFL coordinator gave the league a warning when it came to Mahomes in Jeremy Fowler's quarterback rankings piece for ESPN. "OL in decline, particularly at tackle, WR group completely cleaned out by injury, [Travis] Kelce not near the same player," the coordinator said via ESPN. "I thought he had more command of time/score/situation and better fundamentals from within the pocket than ever. He's a one-man army. And no NFL coach wants to deal with him. Complete dawg. No one like him. Maybe [Joe] Burrow, but Burrow isn't as dangerous as a player." Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick MahomesMark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images So despite Patrick's stats not being as eye catching as Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen, the "fear" that Mahomes instils into defenses is alive and well. Advertisement Plus, for all the reasons that the coordinator laid out, could we expect a bounce-back from the Chiefs this season? There's every reason to suggest so, and it seems that Mahomes has gotten better at different parts of his game as he enters Year 9. While some doubt Mahomes and the Chiefs in 2025, the anonymous coordinator still believes that Patrick is the gold standard when it comes to how defenses have to try multiple things to stop him. And now with a fully healthy supporting cast, the 2025 Chiefs might just be ready to make their doubters eat a slice of humble pie.

'NFL Season (Taylor's Version)': Taylor Swift's lucky number 13 has fans convinced Travis Kelce is destined for NFL glory in 2025
Travis Kelce's 13th NFL season has sparked excitement, fueled by Taylor Swift's lucky number (Getty Images) Travis Kelce is entering his 13th NFL season, but this one feels different—and fans think Taylor Swift has something to do with it. With 13 being Swift's famously lucky number, the coincidence has sparked excitement among Swifties and football fans alike. Could this symbolic season mark a fairytale Super Bowl run for the Chiefs' star tight end? Fans think Taylor Swift's lucky number 13 could spark Super Bowl magic for Travis Kelce Travis Kelce is gearing up for his 13th NFL season — and Swifties are convinced that the number isn't just a coincidence. After the Kansas City Chiefs honored their star tight end with a celebratory Instagram slideshow captioned 'Lucky year 13 coming soon for @killatrav', fans immediately made a bold connection: 13 is Taylor Swift's iconic lucky number. Fans are positive about Travis Kelce's 13th NFL season (SS via Instagram) That's all it took for the Swift-Kelce fandom to erupt with predictions, memes, and some serious championship energy. 'All the Swifties 'of course it'd be year 13!' one fan @janetmccormick_ wrote. 'NFL Season (Taylor's Version),' joked @booksovrbros . 'It only makes sense that they win the SB on his 13th year,' added a hopeful user @swiftiesforeternity. From Taylor Swift's sacred number to Super Bowl dreams — the year 13 narrative is already building Taylor Swift has long associated herself with the number 13. Born on December 13, she's talked about how the number has appeared at pivotal moments in her life and career. In her early performances, she would even write '13' on her hand for good luck. So when Kelce's 13th NFL season rolled around, it seemed tailor-made for conspiracy theories and romantic destiny narratives. But this upcoming season isn't just about numerology. It's a critical moment for Kelce's legacy. His 2024 season ended in heartbreak, with the Chiefs falling 40–22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. Despite whispers of retirement, Kelce shot them down in February, saying he couldn't end on a 'bad note.' Travis Kelce's new body, new mindset, and off-field spotlight suggest a refreshed chapter Fans have noticed more than just symbolism in the number 13 — they're seeing a transformation. At the Amazon MGM Studios Upfronts this past May, Kelce revealed he dropped 25 pounds in the offseason, debuting a noticeably leaner physique. In a November 2023 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Kelce opened up about the toll of the game. 'The discomfort. The pain. The lingering injuries — the 10 surgeries I've had that I still feel every single surgery to this day,' he shared.

And if Swift's influence and his own mental reset are any indication, fans may be witnessing the most poetic Super Bowl win yet — one where football meets fate.

Boat racing kid's smooth moves inspired the ‘aura framing' trend—here's why Travis Kelce and other celebs are taking part in it
Was he showboating? Viral TikTok dances seem to be a dime a dozen at this point. However, few have captivated the online masses like the 'aura farming' jig, a scintillating routine that's taken the platform by storm and has been replicated by everyone from DJ Steve Aoki to Travis Kelce. For those out of the loop, the now-ubiquitous clip shows a sunglass-sporting adolescent executing a sequence of moves while perched precariously on the prow of a racing boat — like a dance comp meets a regatta. Advertisement He blows kisses, rolls his hands and even points to the sky like Usain Bolt — all while maintaining the same stoic expression. 3 Rayyan Arkan Dikha performing his viral dance routine, which began as a morale-boosting method for Indonesian rowers but has since taken the world by storm. Tiktok/@atmorvx Clips of his dance, many of which have been notably dubbed over with a rap song called 'Young Black & Rich' by Melly Mike, have amassed millions of views and untold fans. Advertisement 'Bro is aura farming,' declared one admirer, while another wrote, 'bet he wasn't even trying to go viral.' One reportedly dubbed the aura farmer 'the Reaper' as he 'never loses.' This dancing tween has been identified as 11-year-old Rayyan Arkan Dikha, who performed the routine while participating in the Pacu Jalur boat race in his home province of Riau, the BBC reported. He is the Togak Luan, a boat dancer whose role is to boost the rowers' morale — like a swagtastic coxswain. 3 Motorcycle racer Marc Marquez performs the 'aura farming' dance on his bike. Advertisement Dikha told the BBC that he 'came up with the dance' himself and that 'it was just spontaneous.' The red-hot number might serve a pragmatic purpose. However, the routine — and Dikha's complete nonchalance while performing it — has become the embodiment of 'aura farming,' defined by Know Your Meme as the act of constantly trying to look 'cool' or 'badass' to cultivate charisma or, as Gen Alpha would call it, rizz. 3 Travis Kelce imitates Dikha's jig. Tiktok/@traviskelce It's safe to say the 'showboater' farmed a lot of aura among celebs, many of whom recreated his routine in viral videos. Advertisement In one TikTok clip with over 50 million views, MotoGP driver Marc Marquez, a MotoGP driver, is seen dancing on his bike to celebrate winning a race in Germany. Meanwhile, Kansas City Chiefs player and Taylor Swift beau Travis Kelce posted a viral TikTok compilation of him performing various endzone dances intercut with corresponding moves from Dikha's routine. DJ Steve Aoki also performed the jig onstage in Portugal, the Tab reported. Meanwhile, 'Young Black & Rich' singer Melly Mike — whose song was featured in the most famous 'aura farming' dance videos — joked about traveling to Indonesia to perform the ditty for Dikha. Dikha's dance has made him a hero in his hometown as well. The teenybopper was named a cultural ambassador by the governor of Riau, while this week he and his mother were invited to Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, to meet with the nation's culture and tourism ministers, and to appear on national television. When asked how fans can replicate his success, Dikha replied, 'Stay healthy, friends, so you can become like me.'
