Travis Kelce becomes paparazzi magnet amid Taylor Swift romance but catching her is the real challenge
Paparazzi confess five-hour chase just to snap Travis Kelce while Taylor Swift remains under the radar (getty Images) In a world where celebrity couples dominate headlines, few generate the kind of relentless buzz that surrounds Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift . While the Kansas City Chiefs star continues to make waves on the football field, his high-profile romance with the pop icon has propelled him into a new realm of superstardom. And as one determined paparazzo recently revealed, snapping a photo of Kelce-even without Swift-is no casual feat. Five-hour wait for one Travis Kelce photo and still no glimpse of Taylor Swift, says paparazzo Freelance photographer Melanie Miller , a former TMZ producer, recently gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the grueling reality of chasing celebrity moments. While covering the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe, Miller got wind of a potential goldmine-Travis and Jason Kelce might be making an appearance at a nearby high-roller casino. Even juicier, there was a tip that Taylor Swift could join them. 'You might be wondering, 'How did you get these photos? Oh my god, it must be very complicated, it must be a hard process, it must be impossible,'' Miller shared in a viral TikTok. 'And the answer is, I just plopped myself down on a slot machine for five hours and waited for them to leave.' That's exactly what she did. Trading excitement for endurance, Miller kept a low profile in the casino's high-stakes zone. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo As the hours ticked by, it became evident that Taylor wasn't in sight, but Jason Kelce's security movements confirmed the brothers' presence upstairs. Still, the mission remained: hold out long enough to capture a glimpse. Eventually, her patience paid off. 'I waited there for five hours, but I just sat at a slot machine. For five hours,' Miller reiterated, underscoring the monotonous, solitary side of her profession. Travis Kelce's star power reshaping paparazzi priorities Although neither Kelce brother left much of an impression on the golf leaderboard-Travis tied for 63rd, Jason lagged even further behind-their off-course movements drew far more attention. This incident encapsulates a larger trend: the Kelce-Swift romance has elevated Travis into a paparazzi magnet, worthy of marathon stakeouts typically reserved for A-list movie stars. Miller ultimately succeeded in selling her casino shots to various media outlets, cashing in on the frenzy surrounding Kelce. But her story also strips back the glamorous façade of celebrity photography. Behind every glossy headline and viral snap lies a world of long waits, quiet corners, and unwavering patience, especially when the goal is to capture even a brief moment of pop culture's most-watched duo.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Just days after losing her world No. 1 ranking to 22-year-old Jeeno Thitikul, Nelly Korda is back in the headlines, this time due to a new national responsibility. Korda, along with golf legends Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, has reportedly joined Bryson DeChambeau on President Donald Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, as posted by Nuclr Golf on X. 🚨🇺🇸👀 #UPDATE — Nelly Korda, Jack Nicklaus & Gary Player are among the golfers who will also join chairman Bryson DeChambeau on President Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition. — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) August 5, 2025 The main agenda of this newly revitalized initiative is aimed at reshaping youth fitness and athletic engagement across America. The announcement came during a White House ceremony on July 31, where DeChambeau was officially named chairman of the council. "We believe we can change the fabric of our communities and kids' livelihoods for the future generations that are to come," DeChambeau stated while addressing the media as captured in a video on X. "I can't thank you enough and looking forward to making massive changes in kids' lives and America's future". The President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition, originally established in 1956 under President Dwight Eisenhower, was phased out during former President Barack Obama's reign. Now, it returns with a star-studded lineup of athletes from across disciplines, including Wayne Gretzky, Bryson Dechambeau, Tony Romo, Paul "Triple H" Levesque and more.

Korda's 71-week reign atop the Rolex Rankings ended after a T36 finish at the AIG Women's Open just days ago. Presently, Thailand's Thitikul has replaced Korda to reclaim the No. 1 spot. But the two-time major winner's appointment to the council signals a broader role beyond competition. As one of the most recognizable faces in women's golf, Korda's influence is most likely to inspire young athletes, especially girls, to pursue the sport they are passionate about. Additionally, Jack Nicklaus, with 18 major titles, and Gary Player, with nine, bring decades of legacy to the council. What do you think about this initiative?

Marc-André Fleury gets five offers to un-retire as NHL faces goalie shortage
NHL teams call retired Fleury as goalie shortage worsens (Image via: getty Images) The 2025 NHL free agency kicked off with a surprising twist, teams are racing for goaltenders amid a sudden shortage. With top NHL goalies off the market and limited free agents available, desperate franchises are now eyeing even retired legends like Marc-André Fleury. The unexpected goalie crisis has quickly become the biggest storyline of this year's NHL offseason. Goaltender shortage sparks NHL panic as teams reach out to retired Marc-André Fleury Goaltenders have become one of the hottest commodities in the 2025 NHL offseason. With the Florida Panthers lifting their second straight Stanley Cup, teams quickly turned to free agency to stay competitive. However, the limited number of experienced goaltenders available has sparked desperation across the league. According to the Associated Press' Stephen Whyno, fewer than a dozen goalies from the 2024-25 season were available in free agency. That's alarmingly low for a league with 32 teams all needing depth between the pipes. The shortage became even more evident when Marc-André Fleury's agent, Allan Walsh, revealed that five teams reached out on July 1 asking if the retired goaltender would consider returning. Fleury, a three-time Stanley Cup champion and Vezina Trophy winner, retired after the 2024-25 season with the Minnesota Wild. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo Despite a first-round playoff exit against the Vegas Golden Knights, his career ended with immense respect. Yet, the fact that teams were willing to offer him one-year deals days after retirement highlights just how desperate the market has become. While Fleury has no intention of returning, his brief stint with Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship likely added to speculation. Teams saw an opening and took their shot—but were ultimately turned down. In the meantime, goalie movement across the NHL has been rapid. John Gibson was traded to the Detroit Red Wings, while Dan Vladar signed with the Flyers and David Rittich joined the Islanders. The Devils extended Jake Allen on a five-year, $9 million contract, and the Canucks kept Thatcher Demko.

Nelly Korda Looking to Tap into Scottie Scheffler at Women's PGA Championship
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. World No. 1s Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler have been golf's parallel forces over the past two seasons, dominating their respective tours with a blend of consistency and calm that's become their shared signature. Both sit atop the world rankings—Korda leads the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings while Scheffler reigns over the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking. If we skim their 2024 winning list, each professional had seven strong winning titles, including a major. Their mirrored success has no doubt continued into 2025 as well, despite a slower start to the season. Nelly Korda looking to tap into Scottie Scheffler at women's PGA Championship.

(Image Collage | Picture Cridits: getty Images) Getty Images Nelly Korda draws inspiration from Scottie Scheffler's PGA Championship win To date, the Texas native has three wins this season, including the PGA Championship. On the other hand, Korda has four top-10 finishes in her nine starts but is still grinding to win the first title this season. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler : 3 majors, 15 PGA Tour wins World No. 1 Nelly Korda: 2 majors (going for No. 3 today) , 15 LPGA Tour wins Both have a chance to secure their 16th tour victory today — claire rogers (@kclairerogers) June 1, 2025 Her next battle is at the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, and the LPGA pro confessed how Scheffler is inspiring her this time. "Yeah, he's just an incredible player, incredible human being, and how consistent he is week in and week out, that's something to look up to, " Korda admitted during her pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday. "He's just so steady," she added. "That's something I've been working on—just staying in my own bubble and trusting the process." Her comments came in response to a question about Scheffler's dominant win at the PGA Championship last month, where he shot 11-under at Quail Hollow to claim his third career major by five strokes. Scheffler's final-round 71 on May 18th was breathtaking. He sealed the deal, capping off a stretch that included birdies on 14 and 15 and a composed finish through the Green Mile. It is interesting to see how Korda and Scheffler each seem to embrace each other's style of play while participating in several TaylorMade videos. The push from the opposite side of the sport is not the only thing motivating her. Korda's runner-up finish at the U.S. Women's Open earlier this month also appears to have reignited her confidence. The 26-year-old skipped the Meijer LPGA Classic, finished T15 at the ShopRite LPGA Classic and now looks to rebound from a missed cut at last year's KPMG Women's PGA. In 2024, she shot 6-over through two rounds. Are you rooting for the World No. 1 this time? Let us know in the comment section below!
