MVP IN DA CLUB!!!

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs partied their faces off to celebrate their massive Super Bowl victory ... enlisting A-list celebs like The Chainsmokers and Post Malone to get the job done!!

The back-to-back champs hit up Zouk nightclub at Resorts World with the Lombardi Trophy in tow to kick off the wild night of drunken debauchery ... and judging by the videos of the festivities, the vibes were at an all-time high.

The three-time Super Bowl MVP and his bestie were front and center throughout the night ... even getting behind the DJ booth with Alex Pall and Drew Taggart.

Mahomes' wife, Brittany, got Posty to briefly join Chiefs Kingdom ... having him remove his Dallas Cowboys 'fit for a Kansas City jacket in front of the whole crowd!!

TIME TO PAAAAAARTY!!!

Fittingly enough, Mahomes was met with "MVP" chants ... and he acknowledged the love by sipping a Coors Light.

Kelce proved to be the life of the party ... dancing his ass off as the music blared through the speakers.

Taylor Swift had to have been happy with the setlist ... as "Swag Surfin'" by Fast Life Yungstaz made the cut. Travis' older bro, Jason, also had a helluva time, rocking a luchador mask as he downed a drink.

Larsa Pippen, Marcus Jordan Trouble In Paradise?!? ... Spark Breakup Rumors With Social Media Activity

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan appear to be headed toward Splitsville ... all signs are pointing toward a breakup after the two unfollowed each other on Instagram over the weekend.

The couple also removed all pictures of each other on the social media app ... indicating they're caput.

Neither, however, has publicly commented on the situation ... though Larsa did write on a poll in her IG Story on Sunday evening, "Should your friends unfollow your ex?" She also shared a quote about choosing a partner "wisely."

Jordan, meanwhile, seemed to spend Super Bowl Sunday away from Larsa ... opting to watch the big game with his famous father instead.

Larsa and Marcus first ignited dating rumors way back in September 2022 ... when they were seen hobnobbin' around Miami. At the time, the two claimed to be just friends.

But, as the weeks went by, it became more and more clear they were more than that -- and by Valentine's Day 2023, they were swapping "I love you's."

Taylor Swift besa a Travis Kelce Tras ganar el Super Bowl LVIII

actualización

8:13 PM PT -- Ahí está, el beso que todos estábamos esperando. Taylor Swift acaba de encontrarse con su amor y le dio el beso más esperado del día.

Taylor y Travis cerraron los labios durante un buen rato y ella lo abrazó con todas sus fuerzas mientras lo felicitaba por la gran victoria. Era un poco difícil leer sus labios, pero las emociones eran inconfundibles. Taylor y Travis están tan felices y claramente muy enamorados.

Como cuento de hadas ¿No?

Taylor Swift estaba en la luna cuando Travis Kelce y los Kansas City Chiefs ganaron el Super Bowl de manera dramática.

La estrella del pop fue vista animando y gritando mientras Patrick Mahomes lanzaba el último pase de touchdown el domingo por la noche, en lo que resultó ser un auténtico momento de tensión en un partido que estuvo increíblemente peleado.

Mahomes lo lanzó a Mecole Hardman y el juego terminó. La cámara rápidamente enfocó a Taylor, pero estaba de espaldas celebrando con las chicas.

Sin embargo, la emisión más tarde mostró otras imágenes del momento justo en el que Taylor vio el touchdown, y se podía ver su eufórica reacción.

El propio Travis se mostró emocionado, dando vueltas y abrazando a sus compañeros de equipo en lo que parecía ser un momento muy emotivo. Ella no está en el campo todavía, pero puedes imaginar que se está abriendo camino para felicitar a su novio.

Como hemos dicho, resultó ser un juego muy dramático, con altibajos en todo momento para ambos equipos y estamos seguros de que la celebración será igual de intensa.

Taylor Swift Kisses Travis Kelce After SB LVIII Win ... Fairy Tale Ending in Vegas!!!

update

8:13 PM PT -- There it is, the kiss seen 'round the world. Taylor Swift just planted one on Travis Kelce and it was a smooch for the ages, 'cause she and TK were wrapped up in each other for a while.

Taylor and Travis locked lips for quite a while and she hugged him a ton too as she congratulated him on the big win. It was a little hard to read their lips -- but the emotions were unmistakable ... Taylor and Travis are so, so happy, and very clearly in love.

Talk about a fairy tale ending, huh?

Taylor Swift was over the moon when Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl in dramatic fashion -- and you can tell by how freaking happy she looked.

The pop star was seen cheering and screaming as the final touchdown pass was thrown by Patrick Mahomes Sunday night in overtime -- this in what turned out to be an absolute thriller of a game that came down to the wire.

PM threw it to WR Mecole Hardman and the game was over. The camera quickly cut to Taylor, but her back was turned as she an her group in the suite were all over each other.

However, the broadcast later showed other footage the moment Taylor saw the touchdown pass go down ... and you could see her raw reaction -- she was ecstatic and then some.

Travis himself was stoked on the field ... going around and hugging his teammates in what looked to be a very emotional moment. She isn't on the field just yet, it seems, but ya gotta imagine she's making her way down there right now to give her man some sugar for the W.

Like we said ... it turned out to be a very dramatic game -- with ups and downs all throughout for both teams -- and the celebration down below is sure to be more eventful.

Usher Obtains Marriage License in Vegas ... Getting Hitched with GF?!?

Usher and his girlfriend seem to be headed toward one of the wedding chapels in Vegas -- at least that's what these legal filings suggest ... which gives 'em a green light to get hitched.

The singer and his longtime partner, Jennifer Goicoechea, obtained a marriage license on Feb. 8 in Clark County -- this according to court records obtained by TMZ. Their marriage certificate is not yet filed ... so for now, it seems they haven't said "I do" yet.

Unclear if Usher and Jenn are actually gonna get married tonight -- considering he just had a huge Super Bowl Halftime show an hour ago ... something tells us they might.

If they don't do it now ... they got a year to get it done in Clark County before it expires.

Usher and Jenn were first seen chit-chatting in 2016 -- but they went official as a couple in late 2019, and have been together as a couple ever since. In other words, they have history.

Usher's been married twice before -- namely, to Tameka Foster and Grace Harry -- and if he walked down the aisle again ... this would be his third go-around. He already has two children with Tameka, and he welcomed two children with Jenn as well in recent years.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

BTW, Jenn is in the music biz too -- but on the business side. She's an A&R exec at Epic Records. She's not nearly as much in the spotlight as he is, but definitely holds him down.

We'll see if Usher and Jenn are ready to tie the knot in front of Elvis here tonight.

Taylor Swift Ready for Kickoff ... Arrives at Super Bowl

Update

2:26 PM PT -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell just had a one-on-one chat with Taylor ... hopefully he remembered to thank her for all the new fans she's brought to the sport!!!

1:39 PM PT -- Taylor's giving out hugs left and right ... with Travis' brother Jason Kelce wrapping her up in a short embrace before introducing himself to Ice Spice with a courteous handshake. Ever the gentleman, Jason!

1:30 PM PT -- Taylor Swift is in the building!!! CBS' broadcast just showed the pop star pulling up to Allegiant Stadium along with several close/famous friends including Ice Spice who appears to be hugging Swift's mom Andrea and Blake Lively who'se decked in a bright red jacket.

Taylor Swift is on the move -- she just took off in a private jet headed to Las Vegas ... and just in time too, 'cause the Super Bowl is low-key about to start pretty damn soon!

BACKGRID

The pop star boarded her aircraft late Sunday morning -- flying out of L.A. and heading to Sin City to see her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium. Everyone assumed she'd be there, and she's on her way now.

Tay Tay was once again being covered by umbrellas (just like yesterday) as she got on her PJ -- and from the looks of it ... she and the peeps she's rolling with are rocking Chiefs gear.

She oughta be landing pretty soon here ... and from the looks of it, her motorcade is already waiting for her in Vegas. She's got a brigade of SUVs all set -- as if she was POTUS! We suppose we wouldn't expect anything less for T-Swift, she kinda is American royalty.

PREPARED FOR ARRIVAL

Anyway, it looks like our theory of her crashing in L.A. for the night after a long flight from Tokyo ended up being correct. Rather than just go straight there, she laid low for a night.

It was a whirlwind trip for her, no doubt, and she's probably running on fumes right now.

And yet ... she's being a total trooper and making the trek to Vegas to see Travis, where she'll get a chance to cheer her head off on the biggest stage in American sports. And yes, as we reported -- she'll be in a private suite with her fam and Travis' brood too, no question.

Folks have been glued to their screens to see when Taylor will be landing in Vegas -- and now, it looks like she's pretty much at the finish line. The flight from L.A. is like 45 minutes.

Her being at the Super Bowl is this fairytale story coming full circle ... her NFL journey has been one for the ages -- and it's either gonna end in pure bliss with a W, or something else.

At any rate ... we're all stoked to see how it plays out, and we're sure TK's happy too.

The game is right around the corner -- kicking off at 3:30 PM PT -- and Taylor is about to take Vegas by storm. We're sure it'll be a circus ... but nothing she can't handle. And per usual ... she's sort of arriving at the 11th hour -- but she'll be right on time regardless.

TayTay fue una vez más cubierta por los paraguas (al igual que ayer) mientras subía a su vehículo, y se le podía ver con ropa de los Chiefs.

Sin embargo, sabemos que su amor por Travis puede más, y tendrá la oportunidad de animar a su novio en el escenario más grande en los deportes estadounidenses. Y sí, como informamos, ella estará en una suite privada con su familia y la de Travis.

La gente ha estado pegada a sus pantallas para ver cuando Taylor va a aterrizar en Las Vegas, y parece que está por llegar. El vuelo desde Los Ángeles es de unos 45 minutos.

Su presencia en el Super Bowl es una historia de cuento de hadas llegando a su final feliz.

Todos estamos emocionados de ver cómo se desarrolla esta historia, y estamos seguros de Travis también está viviendo un sueño.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Family Bonding in Super Bowl Suite ... 87's Footing the Bill

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's families are getting super close ... taking in Sunday's big game from a suite together TMZ has learned -- and, like a gentleman, Travis is paying.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Taylor's mom, Andrea, dad Scott, brother Austin and his girlfriend Sydney are going to sit with Travis' mom Donna, dad Ed, brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce while watching Travis compete for his third Super Bowl ring.

Taylor's gonna be there of course, and we're told some of her friends are tagging along ... though we don't know if any of her famous entourage will join the two families.

Allegiant Stadium sources tell us the suite costs well over $1 million ... and we're told that Travis is covering all of it because he just wants everyone to enjoy Super Bowl Sunday together.

87 sorta said this was the case on his "New Heights" podcast earlier this week when he joked he was "just counting how much money I'm spending on this damn Super Bowl for family and friends to come."

Well, we now know exactly who he spent all that dough on ... and it seems like he'll definitely be staying in the good graces of the Swift family.

There's been a ton of interaction between the happy couple and their families this year ... whether it be pics and videos of Donna cheering alongside Taylor or T-Swift hanging out with her own parents at a game, Travis has been feeling the love and support this season.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce Sus familias verán juntas el partido desde una suite

Las familias de Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce se están volviendo súper cercanas y mirarán el gran partido del domingo juntas desde una suite, según ha averiguado TMZ, y como todo un caballero, Travis está invitando.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que la mamá de Taylor, Andrea, su padre, Scott, su hermano Austin y su novia Sydney van a sentarse con la madre de Travis, Donna, su padre Ed, su hermano Jason y su cuñada Kylie Kelce mientras ven a Travis competir por su tercer anillo en el Super Bowl.

Taylor va a estar allí, por supuesto, y nos dicen que algunos de sus amigos estarán allí acompañándolos, aunque no sabemos si algún famoso amigo de su séquito se unirá a las dos familias.

Fuentes del Allegiant Stadium nos dicen que la suite cuesta más de 1 millón de dólares y nos dicen que Travis está cubriendo todo porque solo quiere que todos disfruten del Super Bowl juntos el domingo.

El 87 más o menos lo dijo en su podcast "New Heights" a principios de esta semana cuando bromeó que estaba "contando cuánto dinero estoy gastando en este maldito Super Bowl para que mi familia y amigos vengan".

Bueno, ahora sabemos exactamente en quién gastó toda esa pasta y parece que definitivamente quedará como rey con la familia Swift.

Ha habido un montón de interacción entre la feliz pareja y sus familias este año, ya sea con fotos o videos de Donna animando a su hijo junto a Taylor o T-Swift pasando el rato con sus propios padres en un juego, así que Travis definitivamente ha estado sintiendo el amor y el apoyo esta temporada.

Braxton Berrios & Alix Earle Get Matching Diamond Pandas ... Best Present Ever!!!

braxton-berrios-and-alix-earle-2
if you get it, you get it

Talk about charm-ing ... Braxton Berrios and girlfriend Alix Earle turned their super cute pet names for each other into shiny bling, copping two diamond-filled panda bear pendants!

TMZ Sports has learned the Miami Dolphins receiver recently hit up Sean Salci for matching necklaces for him and his TikTok star GF, whom he started dating in 2023.

"My boyfriend just got me the best present I've ever gotten in my life," Earle said on social media.

"We call each other panda and he got us matching panda diamond necklaces!"

We're told each piece contains solid, 14-karat yellow gold with 5 carats of VVS1 F diamonds. Top notch.

"The eyes, nose, and mouth all have custom-sized and shaped diamonds to really enhance the panda look we were going for," Salci said. "It was extremely important to keep the all-diamond look while maximizing the panda face concept."

We're not sure if Berrios rocked the piece to the NFL Honors show in Las Vegas on Thursday, but another athlete did wear a Salci piece to the event ... New York Giants QB Tommy DeVito.

We're told the 25-year-old quarterback copped a custom cross and necklace ... and you can clearly see the massive chain on DeVito's neck while on the red carpet and on television during the show, even prompting Keegan-Michael Key to make a "Goodfellas" joke.

Salci -- who also happens to be Tommy's marketing guy (he makes the jewelry through his family-owned jewelry business) -- told us DeVito's iced-out piece contains a total of 55 carats of diamonds.

It's unclear how much dough Berriors and DeVito dropped on the pieces.

Berrios signed a $3.5 million contract with the Dolphins last March and DeVito -- who went undrafted in 2023 -- signed a bunch of endorsement deals since becoming a star last year in Daniel Jones' absence.

In other words, they're good!

Barry Keoghan Keeps Mum on His Valentine ... Amid Carpenter Romance

VALENTINE ON THE MIND
TMZ.com

Barry Keoghan is keeping his relationship status a closely guarded secret ... refusing to say if rumored GF Sabrina Carpenter is his Valentine -- even though we all know the deal.

We talked to BK out in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon and -- in between doling out signatures and taking selfies with a bunch of fans -- we asked Barry if he had a Valentine, specifically Carpenter, this year ... and he gave us something of a non-answer answer.

Check out the vid ... Barry doesn't answer the question and instead simply repeats the questions with a mischievous grin on his face -- before posing for another selfie and taking off down the alley.

He doesn't flat-out deny having a Valentine ... so, it seems his rumored romance with Sabrina's still going strong. A number of outlets are reporting the pair got nice and cozy at a post-Grammys bash earlier this week.

As we reported ... Barry and his ex-wife Alyson Kierans reportedly split in 2023 about a year after welcoming son Brando together. Keoghan seemingly confirmed the news during an interview GQ published last month.

The couple's been spotted out a few times together in previous months ... with paps catching them on a dinner date in Brentwood in early December and fans taking some quick pics at an interactive museum in L.A. in January. They've also posed together at events ... so the cat's outta the bag, really. You'd never be able to tell from BK's response to us though!

We also asked Barry Keoghan if he wants a bathwater-scented candle created in his honor, like the one made for his pal and costar Jacob Elordi based on their iconic and disturbing bathtub scene in "Saltburn" ... and Keoghan jokes he hopes to reach that milestone one day!

It appears Barry's love life is staying in the zipped-lips realm for now ... though his tongue-in-cheek body language may be another indication he's going steady with Sabrina.

A Travis Kelce le pidieron que terminara una de las letras de Taylor Swift, de cara al Super Bowl y pareciera que no se la sabía muy bien, lo cual es interesante.

El jugador de los Chiefs estuvo hablando con los medios el jueves en Las Vegas, donde le preguntaron mucho sobre su novia, incluyendo una pregunta que lo comparó a él y a Tay Tay con la versión americana de los Royals. Sí, sin duda una gran adulación.

Luego, la misma periodista le preguntó por qué cree que la gente está tan fascinada con ellos como pareja y Travis respondió que la gente ama los "valores" que ellos representan, etc. Respuesta legítima y probablemente cierta, pero ¿sabes qué más les encanta? Las letras de Taylor y ahí es donde este intercambio se puso interesante.

El reportero le pidió a Trav que completara una línea de una canción MUY conocida de Taylor "Karma", que cualquier fan podría recitar.

La letra en cuestión es: "Karma is the guy on the screen // Coming straight home to me".

El reportero le dijo: "Karma is the guy on the".... y Travis añadió con confianza, "Chiefs", un guiño al cambio de letra que hizo Taylor durante su concierto en Argentina el año pasado y que el jugador de los Kansas City presenció desde la multitud.

No está claro si se da cuenta de que esa no es la letra original. Por cierto, tampoco fue capaz de terminar el resto de la letra.

She then asked why he thinks people are so fascinated with them as a couple -- and he said people love the "values" they stand for, etc. Legit answer, and probably true ... but ya know what else they love? Taylor's lyrics, and that's where this exchange got interesting.

The reporter asked Trav to complete a line from a VERY well-known Taylor song, "Karma," and she lobbed up the lyric even a mild Taylor fan could recite.

Keegan-Michael Key Ghosts of NFL Couples Past Swift & Kelce Are Simpson & Romo 2.0

020924_keegan_michael_key-kal
HAPPY FOR THEM
CBS/NFL

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are stirring up memories of past high-profile NFL couples -- including one controversial ex-couple -- at least for Keegan-Michael Key.

KMK hosted the NFL Honors -- the league's annual end-of-season award ceremony -- and, obviously, the funnyman had to bring up Traylor.

He pointed out Kelce isn't the first NFL baller to date a pop star ... name-dropping Russell Wilson and Ciara and Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson before cracking a joke about Brad Paisley and Peyton Manning's friendship.

While Russ and Ciara are still going strong nearly a decade into their relationship, JS and TR didn't make it nearly that long ... with their relationship causing constant drama for the pair.

You'll recall ... Romo and Simpson started dating in late 2007, and just like T-Swift, Simpson became a huge staple in the crowd at Dallas Cowboys games.

Dallas struggled in 2008 though -- the first full season Simpson and Romo dated -- missing out on a playoff spot by one measly tie to the rival Philadelphia Eagles.

Some fans, rather unfairly, blamed the team's issues on Romo and Simpson's relationship ... the couple broke up the following year after Tony found out Jessica was still in contact with her ex, John Mayer.

Worth noting ... Romo's been very supportive of Swift and Kelce since they took their relationship public in September -- recently saying he's rooting for the couple to marry after accidentally referring to Swift as Kelce's wife back in December.

BTW, Key made a few more jokes involving Swift and Kelce though none at the couple's expense ... instead poking fun at the Carolina Panthers and ex-Pats head coach Bill Belichick.

Time will tell if Taylor/Travis is more Ciara/Russ -- married with children -- or more of the bad memory Jessica and Tony are for Cowboys fans.
