Kansas City Chiefs

It might be Monday morning, raining and nearly freezing in Kansas City ... but Chiefs fans are still pouring out in droves to support their team before their huge matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to reporters at Arrowhead Stadium, Patrick Mahomes fanatics showed up to the site of arguably the biggest game of the NFL's regular season some 12 hours before it began ... this despite it being a workday with some pretty crappy weather.

You can see in images taken by KCTV5's Nathan Brennan, a line of cars filled with Chiefs fans stretched all the way into the street outside the stadium -- even though it's about 40 degrees out.

Plenty more are expected to be on their way soon, too.

Of course, it's hard to blame them for the excitement ... after all, the "Monday Night Football" matchup features two of the best teams in the league -- and it's also a rematch of Super Bowl LVII.

The Chiefs are currently 2.5-point favorites ... though many believe the Eagles -- who are 8-1 this season -- are the better squad.

Travis Kelce's love for Taylor Swift is much deeper than her looks and musical talent ... the NFL superstar says he's fascinated by her brain and learning new things from her every day.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end opened up on his relationship with the pop icon in an interview with the Wall Street Journal this week ... where he detailed how he's personally growing from their one-on-one time together.

"I've never been a man of words," Kelce said. "Being around her, seeing how smart Taylor is, has been f***ing mind-blowing. I'm learning every day."

Kelce also praised Swift's ability to turn her own experiences into words ... specifically pointing out his love for a line in her hit song, "Blank Space" -- when she sings, "I could make a bad guy good for the weekend."

Kelce -- who referred to Swift as "hilarious" and a "genius" -- added the two are on the same page with their views ... especially when it comes to family.

"Everybody knows I'm a family guy. Her team is her family. Her family does a lot of stuff in terms of the tour, the marketing, being around, so I think she has a lot of those values as well, which is right up my alley."

As for how they first linked up, the two-time Super Bowl champion said someone in Taylor's circle played Cupid after he publicly shot his shot on his podcast ... and eventually, Taylor reached out directly.

Another interesting point -- Travis claims his mother, Donna, is upset with herself to this day about how she downplayed meeting Taylor for the first time during her appearance on the "Today" show ... when she famously said it was just "okay."

Kelce says his mom was just trying to play it cool ... but he reassured her she handled the question perfectly.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are looking to get into the Christmas spirit as a couple ... we're told they're moving forward with plans to be together for the holidays.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Taylor and Travis are trying to work out their schedules to make sure they set aside as much time together as possible.

We're told Thanksgiving with the 2 families could go down in Kansas City ... Travis and his fam will already be in town Monday for his game against the Eagles. Here's the thing everyone knows ... Thanksgiving with 2 fams is a BIG step.

As we reported, Travis picked up a sweet $6 million K.C. home ... which is a lot more secluded than his old place ... so he could easily host everyone with room to spare.

It's unclear where they'll spend Christmas, but they've already told folks close to them they've been chatting about it. Our sources say the couple REALLY wants to be together this holiday season.

It's not going to be easy for T&T to continue what we're told is a serious relationship ... she's going to be all over the world next year and, of course, he's got his own obligations. But, our sources say as of now, they're both committing to making it work.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están buscando entrar en el espíritu navideño como pareja. Nos dicen que están avanzando con sus planes para estar juntos durante las vacaciones.

Fuentes cercanas a la pareja le dicen a TMZ que Taylor y Travis están tratando de resolver sus horarios para asegurarse de tener tanto tiempo juntos como sea posible.

Nos dicen que una celebración de Acción de Gracias con las dos familias podría ocurrir en Kansas City, Travis y su familia estarán en la ciudad el lunes para su partido contra los Eagles. Esto es lo que todo el mundo sabe, Acción de Gracias con dos familias es un gran paso.

Como hemos informado, Travis gastó unos $6 millones en su nueva casa, la cual es mucho más aislada que su antiguo hogar, por lo que fácilmente podría recibir a todos con espacio de sobra.

No está claro dónde van a pasar la Navidad, pero ya le han dicho a la gente cercana a ellos que ha habido conversaciones. Nuestras fuentes dicen que la pareja REALMENTE quiere estar junta estas fiestas.

Jackson Mahomes was partying his face off to kick off the weekend ... and he had the best seat in the house to watch a DJ do his thing.

Patrick Mahomes' little brother was front and center Friday night at Mosaic Ultra Lounge in Kansas City, MO -- where James Kennedy was handling music for all the club-goers ... and putting on a pretty good set, if Jackson's reaction here is any indication.

Check it out ... in footage obtained by TMZ, you can see the 23-year-old influencer raging as Kennedy spins his records, and even got on his feet at one point and cheered JK on.

Looks like Jackson was also making it rain behind James too ... with confetti, that is.

JM might've been having a blast here, but he's got some very serious issues to deal with in the near future ... including a preliminary hearing in his sexual battery case.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están a punto de tener su propia versión de la vida real de "Meet the Fockers" en Monday Night Football, ¡donde sus padres se reunirán!

Fuentes le confirmaron a TMZ que la estrella del pop y el atleta de la NFL están esperando para presentarle sus familias el uno al otro cuando los Philadelphia Eagles y los Kansas City Chiefs se encuentren.

Los planes no están definidos todavía, pero nos dicen que la idea es que Andrea y Scott Swift y Donna y Ed Kelce estén todos bajo el mismo techo por primera vez. Así es fans de la NFL, prepárense para un montón de fotos y noticias.

ET fue el primero en informar de la noticia de la fiesta familiar, y tiene mucho sentido. La gente todavía se acuerda del último Super Bowl. Travis juega para los Chiefs y su hermano mayor Jason es una estrella de los Eagles.

Así es la cosa: el padre de Taylor es un gran fan de los Eagles, aunque su devoción parece haberse resquebrajado debido al nuevo romance de su hija. Scott llevaba un cordón de los Chiefs cuando se le vio con Travis en el show de Tay en Argentina.

En su podcast, Travis le dijo a Jason: "Lo tengo del lado de los buenos", refiriéndose al aparente cambio de Scott Swift. Y añadió: "Uno a uno, consiguiendo que todos los buenos se pasen". Sí, Taylor también fue una vez fan incondicional de los Eagles.

En un mensaje directo a Scott, Jason preguntó: "¿Qué estamos haciendo Scott? ¿Vas a dejar que el aspecto diabólico de este hombre y su relación con tu hija te aparten de toda una vida de fanatismo, Scott? Ridículo".

Mientras tanto, ya sabemos que Taylor ha hecho buenas migas con Donna. Han salido en los partidos de los Chiefs y la madre de Trav estaba viendo recientemente la película de la gira "Eras" en un cine cuando un Swiftee la vio.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are about to have their own real-life version of "Meet the Fockers" play out on Monday Night Football ... where their parents will come together!

Sources confirmed to TMZ ... the pop icon and NFL athlete are hoping to introduce their families to one another when the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs meet up.

Plans aren't set in stone yet, but we're told the hope is for Andrea and Scott Swift and Donna and Ed Kelce to all be under one roof for the first time. That's right, NFL fans, get ready for LOTS of luxury box shots of the folks.

ET was first to report the news of the family jamboree, and it makes a lot of sense. Of course, you'll remember from the last Super Bowl -- Travis plays for the Chiefs and his older bro Jason is an Eagles star.

Here's how the families get involved -- Taylor's dad is a massive Eagles fan, although his devotion seems to have cracked due to his daughter's new bae ... Scott was wearing a Chiefs lanyard while bonding with Travis at Tay's Argentina show.

On their podcast, Travis boasted to Jason ... "Got him over to the good side, baby," referring to Scott Swift's apparent switch. He piled on by adding, "Just one by one, getting all the good ones to come on over." Yes, Taylor was also once a diehard Eagles fan.

In a direct message to Scott, Jason asked: "What are we doing, Scott? You're gonna let this man's devilish good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott? Ridiculous."

Meanwhile, we already know Taylor has hit it off with Donna -- they've hung out at Chiefs games -- and Trav's mom was recently watching the "Eras" tour film in a theater when a Swiftee spotted her.

Travis Kelce says he was downright floored when he heard Taylor Swift give him a shout-out with a lyric change last week ... admitting the now-viral moment in Buenos Aires "blew me away."

The NFL star went in-depth about his trip to Argentina to see his new girlfriend on this week's episode of  "New Heights is presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment" ... saying that because it was all "public knowledge," he was down to spill some of the beans on how his bye week vacation went.

The Chiefs tight end told his brother, Jason, that he had a "whole bunch of fun" on the excursion ... revealing it was his first time ever heading south of the equator.

He said he and Swift -- plus her dad -- got dinner on Friday night following the postponement of Taylor's concert ... and they dined on "some good steak."

Then, he opened up about Saturday ... gushing to Jason about how "electric" it was to be in attendance for her show.

As for the big moment when Swift sang about him during her "Karma" performance ... he said he had some idea it was coming -- but that didn't change his emotions when "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me" reverberated through the stadium.

"Definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, it still shocked me and blew me away," he said. "I was like, 'Oh, shhh! She really just said that! All right!'"

Kelce then apologized to Taylor's dad for missing a high-five he had tried to get during the calamity.

"Sorry, Mr. Swift!" he said with a laugh.

Kelce also said he convinced Taylor's dad to switch allegiances from the Eagles to the Chiefs -- something Jason, Philadelphia's star center, wasn't exactly pleased about.

Travis Kelce dice que estaba totalmente impresionado cuando escuchó a Taylor Swift enviándole un mensaje al cambiar de letra de una canción la semana pasada, admitiendo que el momento ahora viral en Buenos Aires "me dejó alucinado".

La estrella de la NFL habló sobre su viaje a Argentina para ver a su nueva novia en el episodio de esta semana de "New Heights", diciendo que porque todo era "de conocimiento público", que estaba abajo a derramar algunos de los frijoles en cómo sus vacaciones de la semana de descanso fue.

El ala cerrada de los Chiefs le dijo a su hermano, Jason, que se había "divertido mucho" revelando que era la primera vez que iba al sur del ecuador.

Dijo que él y Swift —además de su padre— cenaron el viernes por la noche tras el aplazamiento del concierto de Taylor y cenaron "un buen filete".

Luego, se abrió sobre el sábado, diciéndole a Jason acerca de lo "eléctrico" que es asistir a su show.

En cuanto al gran momento, cuando Swift cantó sobre él durante su actuación "Karma", dijo que tenía alguna idea de que venía, pero eso no cambió sus emociones cuando las palabras "Karma es el chico de los Chiefs que viene directamente a casa para mí" reverberó a través del estadio.

"Definitivamente, cuando lo oí salir de su boca, todavía me sorprendió y me dejó alucinado", dijo. "Me dije: '¡Oh, shhh! ¡Lo ha dicho de verdad! Está bien'".

Kelce se disculpó entonces con el padre de Taylor por perderse un choque de manos que había intentado conseguir.

"¡Lo siento, señor Swift!", dijo entre risas.

Kelce también dijo que convenció al padre de Taylor para que cambiara su lealtad de los Eagles a los Chiefs, algo que a Jason, el centro estrella de Philadelphia, no le hizo mucha gracia.

For Travis and Jason Kelce, blood is thicker than water ... because the Kansas City Chiefs star is singing on a Philadelphia Eagles Christmas song despite an NFL rivalry.

Here's the deal ... Travis is lending his voice to a track on the upcoming Philadelphia Eagles holiday album, "A Philly Special Christmas Special," singing a duet with his brother Jason.

The Kelce Christmas song is called "Fairytale of Philadelphia" and it's dropping Wednesday ... ahead of next month's full album release.

Travis and Jason are super close, but they play on rival NFL teams ... with their squads meeting in last season's Super Bowl. They play the rematch this week on Monday Night Football.

Frankly, it's kind of strange for Travis to be on a Philadelphia Eagles holiday album ... and some are questioning if the Kelce brothers' relationship is going too far. Sure, they host a weekly podcast together ... but this is a whole different ballgame.

Of course, there's a Taylor Swift angle to this too ... the main reason Travis is being featured on an opposing team's album is because he's dating Taylor.

In a preview for the song, Travis sings "You are handsome" to Jason, who replies, "You are pretty." Travis then sings "You're the king of South Philly" before they launch into song together.

Jason's Eagles teammates Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson are his partners on the album ... and in the song with Travis they say, "We're going to let a Chief steal the show? Hell no!!!"

For his part, Travis said on the most recent Kelce brothers podcast he has no musical talent. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Para Travis y Jason Kelce, la lealtad entre hermanos es más fuerte que cualquier cosa, porque la estrella de los Kansas City Chiefs está cantando en una canción de Navidad de los Philadelphia Eagles a pesar de su rivalidad en la NFL.

El asunto es el siguiente, Travis está prestando su voz para una pista que saldrá en el próximo álbum navideño de los Philadelphia Eagles, "A Philly Special Christmas Special", cantando a dúo con su hermano Jason.

La canción navideña de Kelce se llama "Fairytale of Philadelphia" y fue liberada el miércoles, antes del lanzamiento del álbum completo que será el próximo mes.

Travis y Jason son súper cercanos, pero juegan en equipos rivales de la NFL. De hecho, sus escuadrones se encontraron en el Super Bowl de la temporada pasada. Ellos juegan la revancha esta semana en Monday Night Football.

Francamente, es un poco extraño que Travis esté en un álbum navideño de los Philadelphia Eagles, y algunos se preguntan si la relación de los hermanos Kelce está yendo demasiado lejos. Claro, ambos son anfitriones de un podcast semanal juntos, pero este es un juego completamente diferente.

Por supuesto, también hay un ángulo de Taylor Swift en todo esto. La principal razón por la que Travis está en el álbum de un equipo contrario es porque está saliendo con ella.

En un adelanto de la canción, Travis canta "Eres guapo" a Jason, quien responde: "Eres bonita". A continuación, Travis canta "Eres el rey del sur de Filadelfia" antes de lanzarse a cantar juntos.

Jordan Mailata y Lane Johnson, compañeros de Jason en los Eagles, son sus compañeros en el álbum, y en la canción con Travis dicen: "¿Vamos a dejar que un Chief nos robe el show? Diablos no!!!"

The NFL is giving unlikely Vikings hero Josh Dobbs the same love it showed Taylor Swift last month ... putting the quarterback all over its social media pages!!

The Shield leaned heavily into Taylor's presence at Kansas City Chiefs games amid her budding romance with Travis Kelce ... temporarily changing its bio and imagery to have fun with the whole ordeal.

The "Cruel Summer" singer had real estate on the NFL's pages for a bit ... but now it's Dobbs' turn to get the spotlight after leading Minnesota to its second win in two weeks.

Of course, Dobbs was thrown into the Vikes vs. Falcons matchup after joining the team days prior and didn't even know his teammates' names or plays, but was still able to come out with the 31-28 win.

His magic continued on Sunday ... when he helped Minnesota outlast the Saints, 27-19.

Given his surprising success story, the league decided it was time to hand Dobbs his flowers ... adding him to its banner and saying, "in Dobbs we trust" in the bio.

La NFL le está dando al improbable héroe de los Vikings, Josh Dobbs, el mismo amor que mostró por Taylor Swift el mes pasado, poniendo al mariscal de campo en todas sus redes sociales.

La NFL se apoyó fuertemente de la presencia de Taylor en los partidos de los Kansas City Chiefs en medio de su incipiente romance con Travis Kelce, y había cambiado la imagen principal de su biografía para divertirse con toda la experiencia.

La cantante de "Cruel Summer" estuvo en las páginas de la NFL por un tiempo, pero ahora es momento de darle el protagonismo a Dobbs después de que le otorgara su segunda victoria en dos semanas al equipo de Minnesota.

Por supuesto, Dobbs fue lanzado al partido de los Vikes vs Falcons después de que se uniera al equipo días antes. En ese momento, ni siquiera se sabía los nombres de sus compañeros o las jugadas, pero así y todo fue capaz de entregarles la victoria 31-28.

Su magia continuó este domingo cuando ayudó a Minnesota a superar a los Saints, 27-19.

Dada su sorprendente historia de éxito, la liga decidió reemplazar a Taylor y tirarle flores a Dobbs, eligiéndolo en su banner principal y biografía con el mensaje: "En Dobbs confiamos".

Patrick Mahomes ha jugado más de 100 partidos en la NFL, y en cada uno de ellos desde que era un novato, el dos veces campeón del Super Bowl ha usado el MISMO par de calzoncillos de la suerte, ¡que solo limpia de vez en cuando!

Mahomes, de 28 años, hizo la confesión en el programa "Manningcast" de Peyton y Eli durante el Monday Night Football, confirmando una historia que había sido soplada por el ex QB de Pat, Chad Henne, sobre su cábala de los calzoncillos rojos.

"Me encanta tener una buena superstición, pero ¿no podías comer la misma comida antes del partido? ¿Tenía que ser la ropa interior roja?", le preguntó Eli a Patrick.

"Primero, mi mujer Brittany me los compró. Así que no los estoy tirando abajo, pero tengo que usarlos", respondió Mahomes y agregó: "Por otro lado, me los puse esa primera temporada y fue bastante buena. Aunque solo los uso el día del partido para que no se desgasten demasiado".

Mahones tiene razón. Los Chiefs terminaron 12-4 en 2018 y Patrick fue el MVP de la liga con solo 23 años.

Y desde esa primera temporada completa, los Chiefs pasaron a ganar dos Super Bowls y una tonelada de juegos. Así que los calzoncillos no se van a ir a ninguna parte.

La pregunta es, ¿Mahomes los lava?

Ehhh, a veces.

"Los lavo de vez en cuando por lo menos", dijo Mahomes. "Si estamos en una buena racha, no puedo lavarlos. Tengo que mantenerlos rodando".

Esperemos que esté bromeando, pero probablemente no.

"Mientras esté ganando partidos, mantendré la superstición", dijo Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes has played more than 100 NFL games ... and for every single one of 'em since his rookie season, the 2x Super Bowl champ has rocked the SAME lucky pair of underwear, which he only occasionally cleans!

28-year-old Mahomes made the admission while on Peyton and Eli's "Manningcast" show during Monday Night Football ... confirming a story told by Pat's former backup QB, Chad Henne, who blew the lid on the lucky red drawers.

"I love a good superstition, but couldn't you just do something like eat the same pregame meal? Did it have to be the red underwear?" Eli asked Patrick.

"First, my wife Brittany got them for me. So I'm not throwing y'all down, but I have to wear them," Mahomes responded, adding, "At the same time, I threw them on that first season, we had a pretty good season that season. I only wear 'em for game day though so they're not too worn down."

He's right ... the Chiefs were 12-4 in 2018, and Patrick was the league MVP at just 23 years old.

And since that first full season, the Chiefs went on to win 2 Super Bowls, and win a ton of games. So, they're not going anywhere.

Question, does Mahomes wash them?

Ehhh, sometimes.

"I wash 'em every once in a while at least," Mahomes said. "If we're on a hot streak I can't wash 'em. I gotta keep it rollin'."

Let's hope he was joking ... but probably not.

"As long as I'm winning football games, I'll keep the superstition going," Mahomes said.

Taylor Swift cambió el romance con Travis Kelce por una reunión de chicas con su buena amiga Gracie Abrams en la Gran Manzana el lunes por la noche.

Después de una parada de la gira llena de titulares en Argentina, Taylor probablemente estaba desglosando los acontecimientos de su fin de semana - profesional y romántico - con su amiga cantautora mientras reían y charlaban.

Taylor se veía elegante para su salida en su chaqueta azul marino de gran tamaño por encima de un vestido blanco, mientras que Gracie mantuvo las cosas más informales.

El avistamiento se produce después de que la cantante de "Karma" besara apasionadamente los labios de su novio de la NFL el sábado por la noche luego de actuar ante un estadio lleno de fans durante su parada de Buenos Aires.

La frase "conseguir una habitación" definitivamente vino a la mente cuando la pareja se besó en el backstage. La demostación de afecto era de esperarse, no olvidemos que fue justo después de que la superestrella cambiara la letra de "Karma".

La versión original, "Karma is the guy on the screen/Coming straight home to me", se actualizó a "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/Coming straight home to me" (El Karma es el chico de los Chiefs viniendo hacia mi). Inteligente 😉

El cambio de letra fue una sorpresa muy agradable para los fans y para Travis, a quien se le vio muy emocionado mientras vibraba con la música junto al padre de Taylor.
