Kansas City Chiefs

Even the Empire State Building wants to be as lit as Taylor Swift, which is why its iconic lights were shaded to honor her -- not for her music, but for her choice in condiments.

Yes, NYC's famed skyscraper shamelessly hopped on the "ketchup and seemingly ranch" craze Wednesday night by turning its crowning lights red and white ... the culmination of a wild frenzy that started 4 days earlier in Kansas City.

Follow along, because this is kinda crazy -- Sunday at the Chiefs game Taylor takes a photo with a fan, next to a plate with a chicken tender and 2 dollops of ketchup and seemingly ranch.

Then that photo gets tweeted on a Taylor fan account, gets 32 million views and births a new meme trend so big the Empire State Building folks had to get in on the action! BTW, Heinz is capitalizing on the moment, too.

Mind you, red and white are also the colors for Taylor's BF Travis Kelce's Chiefs ... who are coming to NY this weekend to play the NY Jets -- yes, Taylor's expected to attend -- and yet the Jets' hometown Empire State Building just couldn't resist.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are clearly two people comfortable with each other ... as Taylor draped her arm around the NFL stud's neck following his big team win Sunday.

Check out the pic, obtained by TMZ, showing Taylor very casually hanging on Travis as they spoke to Kelce's friends at a private party at Prime Social in Kansas City, Missouri.

Travis appears to be looking down, while Taylor engages in some conversation standing next to him.

As you can see, they were they were very comfortable holding court with TC's inner circle.

Travis reportedly rented out the rooftop restaurant/bar -- which is one of KC's trendiest spots -- to keep the party going with close friends, family and Chiefs teammates.

As we first told you, Travis and Taylor's first rendezvous didn't come Sunday at the game ... our sources say they've actually hung out several times, just in more intimate settings.

The photo marks the first time we've seen the two together outside of Arrowhead Stadium. Remember, Travis and Taylor walked out of the locker room area together Sunday and into his waiting convertible to leave Sunday's big win for the KC Chiefs.

Taylor's yet to say anything publicly about her situation with Kelce, but Travis spilled a bit Wednesday on his podcast "New Heights" ... calling T. Swift "pretty ballsy" for showing up to the game and hanging with his mom.

Lucky for Taylor, Travis caught a touchdown during the matchup -- something he does often -- but this one felt a little more special.

Taylor Swift is really digging Travis Kelce ... because she's expected back at his next NFL game.

Sources confirm to TMZ … as of now, Taylor is expected to attend Sunday's game between Travis' Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

We're told Taylor's team is still working out security logistics with MetLife Stadium, where she played a huge concert earlier this summer on her "Eras" tour.

Taylor would be going back for seconds ... she went to the Chiefs game last Sunday, watching Travis score a touchdown from a private suite with his family. It was the first time she went to one of his games since they started hanging out, and the first time she met his parents.

The NFL schedule is lining up perfectly for Taylor and Travis ... his team is playing on the road against the Jets, across the river from New York City ... where Taylor owns a place.

TMZ broke the story ... Taylor and Travis got super cozy with one another after last Sunday's game, she was draping her arm around his neck while they chatted at the private party he set up.

As we first reported ... the singer and NFL stud have hung out several times before, but in more intimate settings than a football stadium.

Taylor Swift was already at the "meet the parents" stage of her relationship with Travis Kelce ... and it turns out she's getting cool with his buddies, too -- 'cause Patrick Mahomes just revealed he got to chop it up with the singer at the tight end's postgame party on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar was asked about Kelce's recent super VIP guest at Arrowhead Stadium after practice on Wednesday ... and while he initially said days ago he hadn't met Swift yet -- that has since changed following TK's shindig at Prime Social in K.C.

"Yeah, I met her," Mahomes told local reporters. "She's really cool, good people."

But Patrick wasn't super chatty about the subject ... echoing Kelce and saying he's going to keep it to talkin' football moving forward.

"But like Trav said, man, I'm going to let them have their privacy and just keep it moving," the two-time MVP added.

As we previously reported, Swift and Kelce -- who hung out a few times in intimate settings before Sunday's game -- were a bit closer at the postgame party ... with TS putting her arm around the four-time first-team All-Pro's neck.

Taylor Swift ya estaba en la etapa de "conocer a los padres" en su relación con Travis Kelce y ahora resulta que está conociendo a sus amigos también, porque Patrick Mahomes acaba de revelar que pudo conversar con ella en la fiesta posterior al partido del domingo.

La superestrella de los Kansas City Chiefs fue consultado sobre la reciente invitada súper VIP de Kelce en el estadio Arrowhead, después de la práctica del miércoles, y aunque hace algunos días contaba que aún no había conocido a Swift, eso ha cambiado desde entonces.

"Sí, la conocí", dijo Mahomes a los periodistas locales. "Es genial, buena persona".

Pero Patrick no fue súper hablador sobre el tema, haciendo eco de Kelce y diciendo que iba a dejarlo hasta ahí para hablar de fútbol en adelante.

"Pero como Trav dijo, voy a dejar que tengan su privacidad y solo mantenerlo en movimiento", agregó el dos veces MVP.

Como informamos anteriormente, Swift y Kelce, que salieron un par de veces en ambientes íntimos antes del partido del domingo, estaban un poco más cerca en la fiesta posterior al partido, con Taylor poniendo su brazo alrededor del cuello del cuatro veces All-Pro del primer equipo.

¡Travis Kelce se está abriendo sobre la única cosa de la que todo el mundo está hablando, su romance con Taylor Swift!

El ala cerrada de los Kansas City Chiefs se sentó para una entrevista con el podcast que comparte con su hermano Jason Kelce llamado "New Heights", durante el cual Travis admite que ya no tiene ninguna privacidad después de la cita del domingo con la estrella del pop.

Échale un vistazo al video, Jason arranca la conversación diciendo: "Hemos estado evitando este tema por respeto a tu vida personal... ahora tenemos que hablar de ello."

Travis responde: "Mi vida personal que no es tan personal. Me hice esto a mí mismo Jason, lo sé".

Jason pregunta: "Entonces Trav, ¿qué se siente que Taylor Swift finalmente te haya puesto en el mapa?".

Travis comienza a reírse antes de contar cómo su vida ha cambiado desde que Taylor entró en su vida. Él dice que ha estado viendo muchos más paparazzis con cámaras y acento británico fuera de su casa, tratando de echarle un vistazo.

Travis también dio elogios a Taylor por ser "bastante valiente" por aparecer en su partido de la NFL y pasar el rato con sus amigos y familiares en su suite personal.

Él dijo que ella "se veía increíble" y que todo el mundo la vio de una manera positiva, añadiendo que era un juego que nunca olvidará. Dijo que la imagen que más se le quedó grabada fue la de Taylor dándole golpes en el pecho y chocando los cinco con su madre.

También habló sobre el brazalete de la amistad de Taylor que llevaba puesto mientras que también afirmaba que quería "respetar la vida de ambos".

Pero Travis nunca se refirió a la pregunta más importante... ¿está saliendo con Taylor Swift?

TMZ publicó la noticia, Taylor y Travis han estado saliendo en privado los últimos meses y es bastante claro que hay algún tipo de relación. Como ya informamos, ella estuvo sentada en su regazo durante una fiesta después del partido del domingo.

Travis Kelce is opening up about the one thing everyone is talking about -- his romance with Taylor Swift!!!

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end sat down for an interview with the podcast he shares with his brother Jason Kelce called "New Heights," during which Travis admits he no longer has any privacy after Sunday's rendezvous with the pop star.

Check out the video ... Jason kicks off the convo by saying, "We've been avoiding this subject out of respect for your personal life -- now we've got to talk about it."

Travis replies, “My personal life that is not so personal. I did this to myself Jason, I know this.”

Jason asks, “So Trav, how does it feel that Taylor Swift has finally put you on the map?"

Travis starts chuckling before launching into how his life has changed since Taylor came into it. He says he's been seeing a lot more camera-wielding paparazzi with British accents outside his home, trying to catch a glimpse of him.

Travis also gave kudos to Taylor for being "pretty ballsy" by showing up at his NFL game and hanging out with his friends and family in his personal suite.

He said she "looked amazing" and everyone saw her in a positive light, adding that it was a game he will never forget. He said the image that sticks out most in his mind was Taylor giving chest bumps and high fives to his mom.

He also mentioned the Taylor friendship bracelet he wore while also claiming he wanted to "respect both our lives."

But Travis never addressed the one burning question on people's minds -- is he dating Taylor Swift?

Taylor and Travis have been hanging out privately over the last few months and there's clearly some sort of relationship ... as we reported, she was sitting on his lap during a party after Sunday's game.

Of course, Travis has been the talk of the town --- and the world for that matter -- after Taylor swooped into Arrowhead Stadium to watch Kansas City trounce the Chicago Bears 41 to 10. After the game, Taylor and Travis were filmed fleeing the media circus in their getaway car -- and the rest is now history.

Wanna eat like Taylor Swift at Arrowhead Stadium ... now ya can Swifties -- and it's all thanks to Heinz!!

The condiment company revealed on Tuesday it's debuting a new flavor honoring Swift's appearance at Travis Kelce's game on Sunday.

It's called "Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch" ... and it, of course, is a nod to the snack choice Swift made while she was hanging out with Donna Kelce in Travis' suite during Kansas City's blowout win over the Chicago Bears.

The pop star was seen munching on a piece of chicken with some ketchup and what her fans dubbed "seemingly ranch" -- and to capitalize on the moment, Heinz has made it possible for her and Travis' supporters to replicate the mini-meal.

Heinz says 100 bottles of the sauce will be made -- an ode to Taylor's favorite No. 13 and Travis' No. 87 jersey. No word yet, however, on when it'll go on sale or how Swifties can get their hands on it ... as the condiment co. has promised to release more info later this week.

In the meantime, there's plenty that Kelce and Swift fans can do to memorialize the big day -- merch is available all over the internet ... and Kelce's famous game day 'fit was for sale for fans of the couple too (although it is currently sold out).

¿Quieres comer como Taylor Swift en el estadio Arrowhead? ¡Ahora ya puedes hacerlo!, y todo gracias a Heinz.

La compañía de condimentos reveló el martes que está estrenando un nuevo sabor en honor a la aparición de Swift en el juego de Travis Kelce el domingo.

Se llama "Ketchup and Seemingly Ranch" y, por supuesto, es un guiño a la elección de aperitivos que Swift hizo mientras estaba pasando el rato con Donna Kelce en la suite de Travis durante la victoria aplastante de Kansas City sobre los Chicago Bears.

La estrella del pop fue vista masticando un trozo de pollo con un poco de salsa de tomate y lo que sus fans apodaron "aparentemente rancho". Para capitalizar el momento, Heinz ha hecho lo posible por que ella y los seguidores de Travis puedan replicar la mini comida.

Heinz dice que se harán 100 botellas de la salsa, una oda al número 13 favorito de Taylor y al número 87 de la camiseta de Travis. Sin embargo, aún no se sabe cuándo saldrá a la venta ni cómo los Swifties podrán obtenerla, ya que la empresa de condimentos ha prometido publicar más información a finales de esta semana.

Mientras tanto, hay mucho que los fans de Kelce y Swift pueden hacer para conmemorar el gran día. Hay merchandising disponible en todo Internet, incluso estuvo a la venta la famosa chaqueta que usó Kelce el día del partido (aunque actualmente está agotada).

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce han puesto a Kansas City de cabeza. Supuestos avistamientos han causado que cientos de fans se agolpen en los negocios locales sin razonamiento alguno.

Por ejemplo, una multitud masiva se formó afuera de Free State Brewing Company en Lawrence el lunes, después de que la oleada de rumores decidiera que Taylor y Travis estaban cenando allí. Un empleado de la cervecería nos dijo que hicieron saber a los Swifties que ellos no estaban allí, pero los fans no se lo creían.

Esto se ha convertido en un juego tipo Whac-A-Mole, que los negocios locales están utilizando para el marketing viral.

The Dentists In Lawrence publicó: "Se rumorea que Taylor Swift pasó a hacerse una limpieza dental después de salir hoy de Free State Brewery".

Los Kansas Rebels Baseball Class de 2030 también entraron en acción, escribiendo: "Nos gustaría abordar el supuesto rumor de que Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce fueron vistos en la práctica con los Rebels esta tarde".

El Programa de Trabajo para el Éxito de Lawrence puso esto: "¡¡¡Taylor Swift estaba tan intrigada con la clase!!! Muy atenta. ¡Ella es una gran oyente y ofreció algunos consejos maravillosos! No puedo creer los rumores de que ella se tomara el tiempo para pasar por algunas de las pequeñas empresas Lawrence!"

Como informamos, la línea de ropa KidSuper sacó provecho de la atención mundial que Taylor y Travis han estado recibiendo, cambiando el nombre del outfit que Travis llevaba puesto mientras fue visto con Taylor por el de su álbum "1989".

El truco, obviamente, funcionó, porque la chaqueta de la compañía ya se agotó.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have turned Kansas City upside down ... false sightings have caused swarms of fans to descend on local businesses, and there's no reasoning with them.

A massive crowd formed outside Free State Brewing Company in Lawrence, KS Monday, after the rumor mill decided Taylor and Travis were dining there. An employee at the brewery told us they let the Swifties know T&T were not in the house, but fans weren't buying it.

It's become a Whac-A-Mole-type game, one local businesses are using for viral marketing.

The Dentists In Lawrence posted, "Rumor has it Taylor Swift stopped by to get her teeth cleaned after she left Free State Brewery today."

The Kansas Rebels Baseball Class of 2030 got in on the action, writing, "We would like to address the alleged rumor that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted at practice with the Rebels this afternoon."

The Lawrence Work for Success Program put this out ... "Taylor Swift was so intrigued with class!!! Very attentive. She's a great listener and offered some wonderful advice! Can't believe the rumors that she took the time to stop by some of the Lawrence small business!"

As we reported, clothing line KidSuper cashed in on the worldwide attention Taylor and Travis have been getting ... by changing the name of the 'fit Travis was wearing while spotted with Taylor to align with her "1989" album.

That stunt obviously worked, because the company's jacket already sold out.

BTW, the brewery manager tells us Taylor's fans weren't great customers -- they were doing a lot more "stalking" than buying.

Travis Kelce has been a fan of Taylor Swift for a while now ... dancing to her hits, making friendship bracelets and talking about wanting to kiss her over the years.

One of the first times Travis publicly talked about Tay Tay was back in 2016 ... when he played "Kiss, Marry, Kill" during an interview -- ya see where this is going.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was given the choice between Taylor, Ariana Grande, and Katy Perry. Taylor didn't get the axe -- RIP Ari -- but instead was chosen for a smooch ... while KP was granted the long-term option.

Travis was also seen groovin' along to a remix of her 2008 track, "Love Story," this past February. He even traded his black shades for a fan's pink ones while he kept the dancing going.

He took a page out of Taylor's book in July, making friendship bracelets for the guys at this year's Tight End University, which he founded in 2021 with his fellow NFL stars George Kittle and Greg Olsen.

Travis went to her "Eras" tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium -- his home turf -- that same month ... and said he was "butt hurt" that he wasn't able to give a bracelet to her while she was in the building.

He also talked about her last month, which might be the most revealing sign yet -- the Chiefs were all talking about who their celebrity crush was growing up ... and as Travis was thinking, his teammate, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, answered for him.

Travis Kelce ha sido un fan de Taylor Swift desde hace un tiempo. Ha bailado sus éxitos, ha hecho pulseras de la amistad y ha hablado de querer besarla a lo largo de los años.

Una de las primeras veces que Travis habló públicamente de Tay Tay fue allá por 2016, cuando interpretó "Kiss, Marry, Kill" durante una entrevista. Ya pueden ver por dónde va esto.

Al jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs le dieron a elegir entre Taylor, Ariana Grande y Katy Perry. Taylor fue elegida para un beso, mientras que a Katy Perry le concedió la opción de largo plazo. Lo siento, Ariana.

Travis también fue visto bailando a lo largo de un remix de su canción de 2008, "Love Story", el pasado mes de febrero. Incluso cambió sus gafas negras por las rosas de una fan mientras seguía bailando.

En julio siguió el ejemplo de Taylor y fabricó pulseras de la amistad para los chicos de la Tight End University de este año, que fundó en 2021 con sus compañeros de la NFL George Kittle y Greg Olsen.

Travis también fue a su concierto de la gira "Eras" en el estadio Arrowhead, su tierra natal, - ese mismo mes y dijo que estaba "ofendido" por no ser apaz de darle un brazalete a ella mientras estaba en el edificio.

Los fans de Taylor Swift le están dando a Travis Kelce un sello de aprobación en forma de nueva mercancía. Parece que los Swifties piensan que esta relación podría tener cierta longevidad. Al menos lo suficiente como para empezar a imprimir su nombre en todos lados.

El cantante y el semental de la NFL están siendo emparejados en toneladas de mercancía que apareció esta semana en Etsy, sobre todo en forma de diferentes camisas que van desde los $10 hasta los $38, además de un equipaje con una etiqueta de precio de $206.

Los Swifties parecen pensar que Taylor y Travis tienen posibilidades de ser algo serio, incluso hay un top que dice: "Swift 2024 Kelce" a la venta.

Otros artículos incluyen una versión de Kelce del logotipo de la gira "Eras" de Taylor y una camiseta con la imagen ahora infame de ellos conduciendo en un convertible después de que ella lo vio jugar al fútbol.

Travis Kelce está siendo llamado "tramposo" por una de sus ex. Fuentes cercanas a la superestrella de la NFL dicen que está harto del asunto y que Maya sólo está tratando de aprovechar sus 15 minutos de fama.

Por si te lo perdiste, Maya Benberry ganó el programa de citas de Travis en E! "Catching Kelce", allá por 2016, y acaba de dar una entrevista en la que llamó a Kelce tramposo y advirtió a Taylor Swift: "Taylor parece una chica tan divertida, con un espíritu hermoso, así que le deseo la mejor de las suertes. ¡pero no sería una chica considerada si no le aconsejara que sea muy cuidadosa!".

Maya le dijo a Daily Mail: "Una vez tramposo, siempre tramposo".

Fuentes cercanas a Kelce nos dicen que solo salieron durante un mes después del programa y no podían anunciar públicamente su separación real debido a un contrato que tenían con la cadena.

La fuente nos dice que Travis nunca engañó a Maya.

Nuestra fuente añade que Kelce y Maya no han hablado en unos 5 años y su entrevista es "una pobre excusa de alguien tratando de conseguir sus 15 minutos de fama".

Taylor Swift fans are giving Travis Kelce a serious stamp of approval ... in the form of new merch, and it seems Swifties think this relationship might have some longevity -- enough to start printing his name, anyway.

The singer and the NFL stud are now getting paired on tons of merchandise cropping up this week on Etsy ... mostly in the form of different shirts going for between $10 to $38, plus some luggage with a $206 price tag.

Swifties seem to think Taylor and Travis have some staying power ... there's even a campaign-themed "Swift 2024 Kelce" top for sale.

Other items include a Kelce version of Taylor's "Eras" tour logo, and a graphic tee with the now infamous image of them driving off in a convertible after she watched him play football.

The Taylor and Travis merch is another sign of just how well Kelce is scoring with her fans. As we first reported, the jacket the KC Chiefs tight end wore with Tay Tay after the game quickly sold out.
