Taylor Swift did not have a good time in New Orleans. Neither did Travis Kelce. Taylor got the hell out of NOLA on Monday, hours after the Kansas City Chiefs lost the Super Bowl. I still don?t know if Travis left with her, but I don?t think he did. Reportedly, she went to her home in Nashville, and it wouldn?t surprise me if Travis has to be in Kansas City for a few days, even with the loss. I?m sure there?s business to attend to. But after all the dust settles, it sounds like Travis and Taylor are going to take a big vacation.
With the Super Bowl finished and the Eras Tour now in the rearview, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are finally ready for some downtime. A source tells PEOPLE that the high-profile couple will ?have a break together? following the Kansas City Chiefs? 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, which ?was upsetting for everyone.?
?Their lives have been a whirlwind since they first started dating,? the insider says. ?Things seem great between them, and they?re incredibly happy together.?
Swift, 35, was a fixture at Chiefs games this past season, often bringing her friends and family members along to cheer from a suite at Arrowhead Stadium. The Super Bowl was no exception, as she brought brother Austin, dad Scott, and friends Ice Spice, Ashley Avignone and Este, Danielle and Alana Haim along to Caesars Superdome to root Kelce, 35, on as the Chiefs sought to become the first team in NFL history to ever win three consecutive Super Bowls.
?She truly loves watching Travis play,? the source adds. Kelce, too, was a fan of watching Swift in her element, as he attended more than a dozen Eras Tour shows ? and even joined his girlfriend onstage for a memorable cameo in London. The ?Fortnight? singer wrapped the record-shattering Eras Tour in December after almost two years on the road and nearly 150 shows.

As a gossip historian, I feel like I should point out that back when Taylor dated Calvin Harris, they took a long, lovely tropical vacation together? and broke up just a few months later. We were like ?aw, they?re so in love, look at their sweet vacation? and soon after, she was on the Worldwide Tiddlebanging Tour. Anyway! That was nine years ago. It will be different this time. Travis is a different guy. Everyone?s older and wiser.
Meanwhile, this video is going viral in a good way Taylor was seen tipping staffers at a Grammys after-party two weekends ago. She?s been seen handing cash/tips to staffers at Arrowhead when she goes to Travis?s games too. She?s the kind of rich person who keeps fifties and hundred-dollar bills on hand so she can quickly tip people. Like? Taylor isn?t my fave, but I love that she?s not cheap and she gives out generous tips and bonuses.

Taylor Swift had a nice vibe at the Grammys last night. Travis Kelce did not attend as her date, he?s still preparing for the Super Bowl (this coming weekend), so Taylor was just there to rep her album, The Tortured Poets Department and its six Grammy nominations. She was also there to hang out with friends and, as it turns out, cheer for two of her favorite people in music: Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar. Taylor ended up losing in all six categories in which she was nominated, but she presented Beyonce with the Best Country Album Grammy and she shared a toast with Jay-Z when Beyonce won Album of the Year. Swift was also super-happy for Kendrick when he won Record of the Year for ?Not Like Us.?
Throughout the night she made zero costume changes Taylor wore a fire-red Vivienne Westwood corseted minidress. It was flattering and pretty, and a little bit sexy. I?ve made my peace with the fact that she?s not a huge risk-taker when it comes to fashion, and this feels entirely in her comfort zone. My one complaint is that it?s a bit ice-skater-chic, but again, that?s Taylor. She loves that ?ice dancer princess? look. One sexy element was a delicate chain on her thigh with a charm with the initial ?T?- for Taylor or for Travis.
Are the Swifties mad that Taylor didn?t win another AOTY? I hope not I think if she had lost to someone other than Beyonce, they might feel some kind of way about it, but given Taylor?s clear happiness for her friend, I hope the truce between fandoms holds. Yes, another AOTY win would have been historic, but it was also a historic snub that Beyonce hadn?t won an AOTY Grammy before last night.

Taylor Swift was relatively quiet for several weeks in the new year. Then she got name-checked in Justin Baldoni?s lawsuit, and suddenly Taylor was out and about all over the place. Baldoni isn?t suing Taylor, but he claimed that Blake Lively used Taylor to pressure him into agreeing to Blake and Ryan Reynolds? rewrites. He also included text messages where Blake referred to herself as Khaleesi, and Ryan and Taylor were her ?dragons.? Blake and Taylor have been good friends for years, so I doubt their friendship has been rocked by any of this, but I doubt Taylor appreciates being name-checked in these lawsuits.
As soon as Baldoni sued Blake, Ryan and their publicist, Taylor quickly changed the subject and announced donations to ten charities and foundations dealing with the Southern California wildfires. She posted information about California Community Foundation Fund, Direct Relief, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation and more. Good for her.
Then on Friday, Taylor stepped out in NYC with her parents, her brother and her friend/stylist Ashley Avignone. They went out to dinner at Nobu, and Taylor wore a great ensemble by AREA, with Chloe boots. Taylor has a pretty epic boot collection, and it?s one of the reasons why she loves colder weather too she can bring out her boots! I actually really like this ensemble and her styling (minus the bangs).
After her New York outing, Taylor made it to Kansas City in time to watch the Playoff game between the Chiefs and the Houston Texans. The Chiefs won, 14-23. At the game, Taylor showed off her latest collected friend: none other than Caitlin Clark, who has challenged Taylor in the ?most-talked about white woman? stakes in the past year. Caitlin is genuinely a Taylor Swift fan she went to at least one Eras concert, and Clark also ?liked? Taylor?s Instagram endorsement of Kamala Harris. Taylor?s ensemble at the Chiefs game was all Chanel, from the Resort 2025 collection. A $9600 tweed coat, ?$4,650 wool jersey romper and $2,250 chain pearl belt. She also wore $1,150 oversize double C Chanel disc earrings and a $5,000 Chanel mini flap bag.?

It?s been a minute since Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were together in New York, but that?s where they were over the weekend. On Friday night, they were seen out on a double date with Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley they went to BondST for dinner, and People Mag carried those photos exclusively. On Saturday, Travis and Taylor went to dinner at Chez Margaux, a members-only ?supper club? and nightclub in the Meatpacking District. Taylor is a member of several of those private clubs in New York!
I saw people complaining about Taylor?s ensemble from Saturday night, but I sort of like it? Her coat is Simkhai Ganni, and she carried a Stella McCartney bag. She also wore Louboutins, the red soles of which ?matched? Travis?s hideous ensemble. This is how so many celebrity couples look these days it?s giving Justin and Hailey Bieber, right? The guy looks like he?s coming from the gym or like he slept in his clothes, all while the woman looks like she spent two hours in hair and makeup. It was rainy all weekend across the Eastern seaboard, I?m surprised Taylor?s hair didn?t get frizzy (mine certainly did).
Meanwhile, Page Six recently claimed that Taylor plans on spending more time in Kansas City and Nashville now that the Eras Tour has wrapped. Page Six?s ?insider? claims this will be ?Taylor?s domestic era? where she?s more focused on Travis and her relationship. We?ll see I think Travis enjoys being in New York, and lord knows how much longer he?ll play football.

I don?t think Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were ever ?feuding? this fall. When Brittany outed herself as a Donald Trump supporter, I think Taylor was simply a bit more careful about being seen with Brittany, but even then, they still hung out and Taylor was still a supportive girlfriend who spent time with Travis Kelce?s friends and teammates. Now that the election is over, Brittany and Taylor are back to being new-BFFs. To the point where Brittany is one of the few people authorized to post private photos of Taylor. Brittany posted these pics from a recent party with Taylor:
Brittany and Patrick Mahomes joined Taylor Swift for an epic Eras Tour wrap party following the end of the superstar?s record-breaking outing. Brittany posted several photos from the big night on her Instagram Wednesday, including a few pictures with the pop star herself.
Guests went all out for the fun theme, wearing homemade friendship bracelets and dressing up in different album eras ? from ?Fearless? to ?Reputation? and ?Lover.?
The 29-year-old wore a sparkling silver fringe mini dress, dazzling boots and a black-and-gray jacket, while her husband, Patrick, rocked a full suit with a black top hat ? nearly identical to the one Kelce wore on stage during Swift?s show in London.
The Grammy winner, for her part, continued her ?Tortured Poets Department? streak in a beautiful black mini dress from Balmain. The design featured a short flared skirt, a sweetheart neckline and was embroidered with beads, sequins and crystals down the front. Swift, 35, rocked her signature red lip and added more sparkle with drop diamond earrings.
[From Page Six]
Yeah. It looks like Brittany and Taylor?s friendship is back to regularly scheduled programming. Obviously, people are examining these photos for any hint of an engagement ring for Taylor. She seems to be making a point of playing some games with hiding her ring finger. I think that?s all it is games and gossip. If Taylor was engaged, she would either remove the ring for photos or she would just announce it.

For decades, ever since the birth of pop music really, it?s generally acknowledged that music stars are not making bank from selling their music, but rather from touring. Music sales are complicated and everyone gets a cut, especially nowadays in the Spotify/streaming era. An artist can be streamed tens of millions of times and they?re only making a small fraction of what they should earn. Tours are much more profitable and straightforward, organized by the artist and their team. Profitable not just from ticket sales, but from the ultra-lucrative merchandising. Well, I don?t know the exact breakdown, but Taylor Swift?s Eras Tour blew every record to smithereens, from ticket sales to merchandising.
For the last 21 months, Taylor Swift?s Eras Tour has been the biggest thing in music ? a phenomenon that has engulfed pop culture, dominated news coverage and boosted local economies around the world. Now we know exactly how big.
Through its 149th and final show, which took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sunday, Swift?s tour sold a total of $2,077,618,725 in tickets. That?s two billion and change ? double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history and an extraordinary new benchmark for a white-hot international concert business.
Those figures were confirmed to The New York Times for the first time by Taylor Swift Touring, the singer?s production company. While the financial details of the Eras Tour have been a subject of constant industry speculation since tickets were first offered more than two years ago ? through a presale so in-demand it crashed Ticketmaster?s system ? Swift has never authorized disclosure of the tour?s numbers until now.
The official results are not far from the estimates that trade journalists and industry analysts have been crunching for months. But they solidify the enormous scale of Swift?s accomplishment. Just a few months ago, Billboard magazine reported that Coldplay had set an industry record with $1 billion in ticket sales for its 156-date Music of the Spheres World Tour ? a figure that is just half of Swift?s total for a similar stretch of shows in stadiums and arenas.
According to Swift?s touring company, a total of 10,168,008 people attended the concerts, which means that, on average, each seat went for about $204. That is well above the industry average of $131 for the top 100 tours around the world in 2023, according to Pollstar, a trade publication. The biggest single night?s attendance was in Melbourne, Australia, on Feb. 16, 2024, with 96,006. And Swift?s eight nights at Wembley Stadium in London, which she played more than any other venue, drew 753,112 people ? about as many as live in Seattle.
As gigantic as they are, the figures revealed by Swift?s company are only part of the overall business that has surrounded the tour. They exclude her extraordinary merchandise sales, for example, a product line so in demand that Swift opened stadium sales booths a day early in some markets to sell T-shirts, hoodies and Christmas ornaments to fans, ticketed or not.
[From The NY Times]
?Phenomenon? gets thrown around a lot, but holy sh-t, the Eras Tour was a phenomenon, as is Taylor herself. Think about how she did this too she dropped Midnights as her relationship with Joe Alwyn was coming to a close, she announced the tour and the sales went through the roof, and she just committed nearly two full years of her life to all of this. AND she released another album in the middle of it, not to mention cycling through Matt Healy and starting up with Travis Kelce. It?s also amazing that Taylor had a great team around her and there were zero catastrophes. I mean, yeah, there was a terrorism threat in Europe and there were climate issues, but none of that was her fault or her team?s fault. Over $2 billion in ticket sales alone. Probably that much in merch sales too. Seriously, congrats to Taylor and her team.
Additionally, People Magazine had an exclusive about the bonuses Taylor hands out to her tour crew. It looks like Taylor?s touring production company decided to confirm a lot of news after her last Eras concert, right? People Mag says that Taylor ?gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her tour ? including truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, make-up, wardrobe, physical therapists and video team.? So, she gave out bonuses which were just shy of 10% of the total ticket sales. Say there were 1000 people working to ensure the tour ran smoothly that?s roughly $200K per person just in bonuses, in addition to their salaries.

Taylor Swift has maintained a penthouse apartment in Nashville for many years, even though she seemingly spends more time in New York and LA these days. I don?t know if her parents also have a home in Nashville, but it would make sense. Well, the Swift family was in Nashville for Thanksgiving, and they played host to the Kelce family. Travis Kelce, Travis?s parents and even Jason and Kylie Kelce all came to Nashville for Thanksgiving and they were hosted by the Swifts for the holiday. Who cooked though??
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a family-filled Thanksgiving together. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, and the pop superstar, 34, celebrated the holiday together and brought along both of their families, a source confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
According to the source, Taylor and her family ? including dad Scott and mom Andrea ? hosted the Kelces in Nashville, before Travis jetted off to prepare for the Chiefs winning game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, Nov. 29.
Taylor and Travis had a great Thanksgiving together with their families, the source tells PEOPLE, recalling how the Karma singer was in South America for the Eras Tour around Thanksgiving weekend last year. Its the first Thanksgiving they celebrated together. Taylor and her family were excited to host the Kelces this year, the source adds. [Travis brother] Jason was there with his family and kids too. It was very festive and special.
Following the festivities, Taylor also traveled to Kansas City, where she arrived at Arrowhead Stadium with Travis mom Donna to cheer on Travis.
The news may come as a surprise to some fans, as Travis mom Donna said one week before Thanksgiving, during an appearance on the Today show, that Taylor would probably not be joining the Kelces for the holiday. I dont think so. Shes kind of busy right now. She still has her tour to do, said Donna, 72, referring to Taylors record-breaking Eras Tour, which wraps up on Dec. 8.
[From People]
The unspoken thing is that Travis usually avoids traveling in the days before a home game. Even if he?s been with Taylor in New York, he comes back to Kansas City days before the game so that he can train and prepare. I guess an exception was made because it?s Thanksgiving. Plus, I?m sure Taylor lets the Kelces use her private planes, so it?s not like Travis is stressed out at the airport, trying to get a commercial flight back to Kansas City. Anyway, I?ve said that Travis is in it to win it. This is a sign that Taylor is in it to win it too. Hosting the Kelces in Nashville? The parents getting together for ?the kids.? And yeah, I?d want Jason around every holiday too.

Taylor Swift is usually all about autumnal style, all about sweaters and cute cold-weather ensembles. But was unseasonably warm all up and down the East Coast last week, which might explain why Taylor wore this summery frock in November. Taylor was seen going into Chez Margaux in New York on Friday. According to the paparazzi, she arrived with security and met up with Zoe Kravitz and Jerrod Carmichael. Taylor, Jerrod and Zoe were at Chez Margaux for eight hours! Taylor looked a bit worse for wear as she left, so I kind of wonder if she was getting good and drunk after the election. I would not blame her at all if that?s what happened.
Taylor?s dress and purse are Vivienne Westwood, and she wore Aquazurra Twist 95 velvet sandals. As I said, very summery. I was in t-shirts and flip-flops all of last week too. We had two consecutive 80-degree days. Now, do I like any of this on Taylor? Not really. The dress is unflattering and it makes her look knocked up (it?s the way the corset is boned in the midsection). The combination of the dress and her hairstyle is very Germanic to me, like she?s about to serve beer at Oktoberfest.
In case you?re wondering about Chez Margaux, it?s a private, members-only club in the same vein as many exclusive members-only clubs in Europe, specifically England. It?s supposed to have a real European feel and decadent vibes. Inside the club, there?s a Jean-Georges restaurant, a sushi lounge, a caviar-champagne room and nightclub. Taylor has memberships to several of these private clubs in New York. Post-election, my guess is that Chez Margaux was one of the go-to places for sad, rich Democrats to drown their sorrows and socialize with somewhat like-minded people.
Meanwhile, the Grammy nominations also came out on Friday. Taylor?s The Tortured Poets Department got six nominations, including Album of the Year, Pop Vocal Album, and Record and Song of the Year (for ?Fortnight?). Beyonce?s Cowboy Carter got 11 nominations, including noms in the big three: Record, Album and Song of the Year. Y?all know what that means? Beyonce?s once again losing the big Grammys to white artists, probably Taylor.

As a non-Swiftie, it amuses me to watch Taylor Swift beclown her fans with the long-sought after but never released Reputation (Taylor?s Version), her modern rerecording of her 2017 ?comeback? album, after the ?cancelation of 2016.? People have been begging for RepTV for two years, maybe longer. She still hasn?t released it, but she has been giving her fans some visual clues that RepTV is imminent. The Swifties are still playing along. Well, this morning, Taylor was supposed to make a big announcement. People were once again wondering if this would FINALLY be RepTV. It was not. Taylor is releasing an Eras Tour book and a vinyl and CD ?anthology? version of The Tortured Poets Department.
We?ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually.

Were you expecting Taylor Swift to turn up at last night?s MTV VMAs? I was not. But she was one of the last ones to walk the VMA red carpet, and she dashed inside to win one of the first awards of the evening. In total, Taylor picked up seven VMAs, including awards for Song of the Summer (nope), Video of the Year, Artist of the Year, Best Collab and Best Pop. VOTY, SOTS and Collab were all given to ?Fortnight? featuring Post Malone, her first single from The Tortured Poets Department. Like? even if you want to give it VOTY, there is absolutely no way that ?Fortnight? was the Song of the Summer. None.
Taylor wore this Westwood-coded Dior look, a black-and-yellow tartan with a mullet skirt and bustier. People Mag thought her look was ?Reputation-coded,? because I guess Swifties are still waiting for Reputation (Taylor?s Version). Y?all have been talking about the snake album for the better part of two years. I hope y?all get it after all this time. Seeing Taylor try to pull off a harder-edge look is always amusing to me though like, she still looks like a Disney princess, even with the boots and punk-lite ensemble.
Tay also made this VMA appearance not even 24 hours after she endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket. Taylor had been dominating headlines in the political world throughout the day Wednesday, and much of it was good news for her. In her Instagram post endorsement, Taylor included a link to vote.gov. The US GSA announced yesterday that Taylor?s post drove over 337,000 visitors to the site.
Last thing: While Travis Kelce did not attend the VMAs, Taylor did give a shout-out to, in her words, ?my boyfriend.?
