Kansas City Chiefs

Taylor Swift hizo una aparición por la Gran Manzana a lo grande con sus amigos de la lista A para celebrar su cumpleaños 34 el miércoles por la noche, pero su novio Travis Kelce no pudo estar a su lado debido a todo el asunto de la práctica obligatoria de fútbol.

La ganadora de 12 premios Grammy paseó por Manhattan con su mejor amiga Blake Lively, primero para comer algo en Freemans antes de irse de fiesta a la discoteca The Box.

En Freemans, Taylor y Blake fueron fotografiadas saliendo de su SUV y caminando de la mano hacia el restaurante. Ambos iban vestidas completamente de negro y estaban absolutamente impresionantes.

Taylor llevaba un mini vestido que acentuaba sus piernas y Blake lucía un conjunto de cuero con botas hasta la rodilla.

Después de la comida, se fueron a The Box cerca y ahí es cuando realmente comenzó toda la diversión con varios amigos de Taylor sumándose a su fiesta de cumpleaños.

Los asistentes famosos incluyeron Gigi Hadid, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, su esposa Keleigh Sperry, las hermanas Este y Alana Haim y Antoni Porowski.

Pero una persona claramente estuvo ausente de la velada, su novio Travis Kelce.

Travis tenía una muy buena excusa para faltar. El jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs tenía una práctica obligatoria de fútbol para su próximo partido del domingo contra los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra.

Como informamos anteriormente, la pareja tuvo una pre-celebración de cumpleaños con su madre Donna Kelce y su amigo Patrick Mahomes el domingo por la noche.

Taylor Swift hit the Big Apple in a big way with her A-list friends to celebrate her 34th birthday Wednesday night ... but her boyfriend Travis Kelce couldn't be by her side because of the whole mandatory football practice thing.

The 12-time Grammy Award winner galavanted around Manhattan with BFF Blake Lively, first grabbing some grub at Freemans before heading over to The Box nightclub to party.

At Freemans, Taylor and Blake were photographed exiting their SUV and walking hand-in-hand inside the restaurant. Both were dressed in all black and looked absolutely stunning.

Taylor was in a mini dress accentuating her legs and Blake was sporting a leather ensemble with knee-high boots.

After their meal, the two made their way to The Box nearby ... and that's when all the fun really kicked off as Taylor's famous friends dropped in for her Bday bash.

Celeb attendees included ... Gigi Hadid, Zoë Kravitz, Miles Teller, his wife Keleigh Sperry, sisters Este and Alana Haim and Antoni Porowski.

But, one person was glaringly missing from the soiree -- Taylor's hunky boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Travis had a very good excuse for skipping out ... the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had mandatory football practice for his upcoming game Sunday against the New England Patriots.

As we previously reported ... the couple got in a pre-celebration with his mom, Donna Kelce, and his QB, Patrick Mahomes Sunday night.

Josh Allen isn't holding a grudge against Patrick Mahomes for blowing up during their postgame exchange on Sunday ... telling reporters he didn't take anything personally, and understood where he was coming from.

The Chiefs superstar went viral for losing his cool over the controversial Kadarius Toney penalty that derailed Kansas City's comeback hopes against the Buffalo Bills ... and when he met with Allen after the 20-17 loss, he didn't seem to display the best sportsmanship.

Allen was asked about the interaction with media members at the Bills' practice on Wednesday ... and he said Mahomes hit him up to make sure they were good.

"He reached out to me," Allen said. "And I was just like, 'It's football, it's a game of emotion.'"

In the clip, Mahomes is heard yelling, "Wildest f***ing call I've ever seen. Offensive offsides in that moment, man ... f***ing terrible."

Allen actually defended Mahomes ... saying the outburst just shows how much the game of football means to him.

"I know he didn't mean anything by it," he added. "I know the cameras caught the last few seconds of what we were talking about. But, he's an ultimate competitor. He wants to win, and that's why he is who he is."

Bill Belichick was asked multiple times if he was going to keep his job with the New England Patriots on Wednesday ... and the legendary coach proved once again he's the king of rejecting questions he doesn't want to answer -- shutting each and every one down with his signature cold demeanor.

BB spoke with the media ahead of the Pats' matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend ... and when the topic changed to his future with the team he helped lead to six Super Bowl victories, he made it clear he was only going to talk about their upcoming opponent.

Of course, there are reports Belichick is a sitting duck in Foxborough ... with some rumors stating he'll inevitably get the boot once the Pats' disappointing season is over.

Not surprisingly, Bill wasn't ready to sing like a bird about where he stands with team owner Robert Kraft ... instead, he made it clear he would much rather talk about Patrick Mahomes and Co.

"Getting ready for Kansas City," Belichick said. "That's what I'm doing."

He basically repeated himself several times using the same phrase ... something he's been known to do over the years.

Taylor Swift might not have Travis Kelce by her side to kick off her 34th birthday, but turns out the couple got in a pre-celebration with his mom, Donna Kelce, and his QB, Patrick Mahomes ... and we've got video of their night out.

The gang painted Kansas City red -- for Taylor and the Chiefs -- Sunday night at the Miracle on Main Street Christmas bar ... and despite the fact Trav and co. had lost to the Bills that day, everyone still seemed to have a great time.

We're told Donna was the first to dip out, leaving around 10:45 PM with some other folks in a Mercedes van. Patrick and his wife Brittany stuck around until about 1 AM when they jumped in their own party bus.

Taylor and Travis, however, enjoyed their time together until around 2 AM -- gotta get in every possible minute when you're in a long-distance relationship! As we reported, Taylor planted a big smooch on Travis inside the holiday-themed bar that night.

They eventually left together in a white SUV with security in tow, and interestingly ... Travis' had driven his Rolls-Royce to the bar, but must've had a few drinks -- he opted to leave his luxury car on the street, and ride with Taylor instead.

Taylor's showing no signs of stopping when it comes to cheering on Travis from the sidelines ... win or lose. They've lost the last 2 she attended, but hey ... they're still 4-2 with her, and still 1st in their division!

Taylor Swift podrá no tener a Travis Kelce a su lado para celebrar sus 34 años, pero resulta que la pareja organizó una pre-celebración con su madre Donna Kelce y su compañero de equipo Patrick Mahomes, y tenemos un video de su noche de fiesta.

La pandilla se fue de juerga en Kansas City el domingo por la noche, particularmente al bar Miracle en Main Street, y a pesar de que Travis y compañía habían perdido contra los Bills ese día, todo el mundo parecía estar muy contento.

Nos han dicho que Donna fue la primera en salir, alrededor de las 22:45, con otras personas en una furgoneta Mercedes. Patrick y su esposa Brittany se quedaron hasta alrededor de la 1 AM cuando se subieron a su propio carro.

Taylor y Travis, sin embargo, disfrutaron de su tiempo juntos hasta alrededor de las 2 AM. ¡Hay que aprovechar cada minuto cuando estás en una relación a larga distancia! Como informamos, Taylor le plantó un beso a Travis en el bar esa noche.

Finalmente, se fueron juntos en un SUV blanco. Curiosamente, Travis había conducido su Rolls-Royce hasta el bar, pero debe haber tomado un par de copas, por lo que quizás optó por dejar su carro de lujo en la calle y pasear con Taylor en su lugar.

Taylor Swift se metió en modo pre-cumpleaños el martes por la noche, pintando la ciudad de rojo con Selena Gomez, Miles Teller y su esposa, Keleigh Sperry.

La superestrella del pop cumplió 34 años el miércoles, pero la noche anterior, cuando aún tenía 33 años, se fue de fiesta con un pequeño grupo de amigos en la Gran Manzana.

TMZ obtuvo el video y las imágenes que muestran a Taylor, Miles y Keleigh llegando a Zero Bond en Manhattan y saliendo de su SUV.

Taylor iba vestida con una gabardina de color canela de moda y botas negras.

Keleigh también estaba muy elegante. Se la vio con una chaqueta azul marino y una falda corta. Miles, sin embargo, se vistió para la ocasión, luciendo pantalones vaqueros, una camisa de franela y una gorra de béisbol.

Selena debe haberse unido a ellos en el interior porque fue fotografiada llevando a Taylor de la mano fuera del popular lugar con Miles y Keleigh. Por cierto, Selena estaba guapísima con su ajustado conjunto negro.

El cuarteto fue a un bar de vinos antes de dar por terminada la noche.

Pero había un hombre muy especial que andaba desaparecido y como ya lo han adivinado es... ¡Travis Kelce! El novio de Taylor y jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs, quien tuvo un tiempo relajado consigo mismo, o eso parece.

Taylor Swift got in some pre-birthday partying Tuesday night ... painting the town red with Selena Gomez, Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry.

The pop superstar turned 34 Wednesday -- but last evening when she was still 33, she and her small posse of famous friends went clubbing in the Big Apple.

TMZ obtained video and images, showing Taylor, Miles and Keleigh pulling up to Zero Bond in Manhattan and climbing out of their SUV.

Taylor -- clad in a fashionable tan trench coat and black boots - then sauntered inside the private club with the couple.

Keleigh also appeared stylish, wearing a navy jacket and short skirt. Miles, though, dressed down for the occasion, sporting jeans, a flannel shirt and a baseball cap.

Selena must have joined them inside because she was pictured leading Taylor -- hand in hand -- out of the hot spot with Miles and Keleigh in tow. By the way, Selena looked amazing in her tight black ensemble.

The foursome hit up a wine bar before calling it a night.

But there was one very special man who was MIA and that was ... you guessed it ... Travis Kelce!!! Taylor's hunky boyfriend/Kansas City Chiefs tight end had some quiet time to himself it seems.

Chad Johnson's been in a similar spot to the one Kadarius Toney is currently in ... and he's telling TMZ Sports he's got one big piece of advice for the Chiefs star to get out of it all -- ignore the haters.

"F 'em," he said.

Johnson sent the message loud and clear on Tuesday -- after Toney received a ton of criticism for lining up offsides on what would have been the potential game-winning play against the Bills at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

"As a former player, I've also been in the situations before where I've made mistakes and those mistakes have cost the game," the ex-Bengals wide receiver said. "It's happened to me. It happened to me early in my career."

Johnson said the moment he remembers specifically went down during a game against the Colts -- when he dropped a key pass that could've led to a Cincinnati W.

"You know, you go back to the drawing board," Johnson said of how he fixed it all, "you bust your ass this week in practice, and you make sure you make up for that play. And, I think [Toney] will do that."

Johnson said Toney should learn a lot about the play moving forward -- telling us the young wideout will now know to make sure to keep his eye contact with officials long enough to ensure he's always onside.

"It's a mistake that Kadarius can fix," Johnson said. "And, I think he'll be OK."

¡¡¡¡Travis Kelce puede haber perdido ante los Buffalo Bills el domingo, pero sigue siendo un gran ganador para su novia superestrella, Taylor Swift, quien le plantó un apasionado beso en la mejilla después del juego!!!!

Echa un vistazo a esta foto, Taylor aparece cerrando los ojos mientras sujeta la cabeza de Travis con sus manos y le da un cariñoso beso mientras él sonríe. ¡¡¡Travis es un tipo con suerte, de hecho!!!

La feliz pareja fue fotografiada en un bar para una fiesta posterior al partido de los K.C. Chiefs contra los Bills en el Arrowhead Stadium el domingo.

El estilista de famosos Patrick Regan subió la instantánea a su página de Instagram el lunes, junto con un montón de otras fotos de la victoria de los Bills 20-17 sobre los Chiefs.

Como saben, Taylor volvió a aparecer por el estadio para animar a Travis, y el fornido jugador consiguió 6 recepciones para 83 yardas. ¡No está nada mal!

De hecho, fue la sexta vez que la estrella del pop aparece para un partido de Travis - y, para aquellos que llevan la cuenta, los Chiefs tienen un récord de 4-2 victorias con Taylor observando desde las tribunas.

Travis Kelce may have lost to the Buffalo Bills Sunday ... but he's still a big winner in the eyes of his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who planted a passionate kiss on his cheek at the game!!!

Check out this photo ... Taylor closes her eyes as she holds Travis' head with both hands and delivers some major lip service to the side of his grinning face. Travis is one lucky guy, indeed!!!

The happy couple was snapped at a festive Christmas-themed bar for a postgame party after the K.C. Chiefs battled the Bills at Arrowhead Stadium Sunday.

Celeb stylist Patrick Regan uploaded the snap to his Instagram page Monday, along with a bunch of other pics from the Bills 20-17 victory over the Chiefs.

As you know, Taylor showed up again to the stadium to cheer on Travis as the hunky tight end recorded 6 catches for 83 yards. Not too shabby!

In fact, it was the sixth time the pop star popped up on gameday for Travis -- and, for those who are keeping count, the Chiefs have a 4-2 winning record with Taylor watching from the crowd.

If Chiefs fans are looking to blame anyone for the offensive offsides penalty that foiled their comeback attempt Sunday, it should be the Philadelphia Eagles ... so says Dean Blandino, who tells TMZ Sports their "Tush Push" play might have actually impacted the call during the Bills game.

The former NFL Vice President of Officiating said he believes refs are calling line of scrimmage fouls much more closely this year due to the nature of the Birds' "Brotherly Shove" play -- and that's leading to more calls like the one against Kadarius Toney at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday evening.

"You think about 2015 to 2022," Blandino said, "there were only 14 offensive offsides called in the entire league. This year already, with the Toney call, there's 13. So, it's definitely a point of emphasis this year."

That all being said, however, Blandino made it clear the flag against Toney was the right call.

"This was clearly a foul," he said. "The officials have to call it."

Of course, Patrick Mahomes vehemently disagreed -- he absolutely melted down after the flag was thrown ... calling it "f***ing terrible," while later explaining he wished the refs had just let it go.

Blandino said as a fan of the game, he understands the sentiment -- though he said that if refs call things differently based on the game's situation, it could have even more drastic implications.

"You say, 'Let the players decide the game,'" Blandino said. "The problem with that is you tell the officials that and then the officials say, 'K, we're not going to call anything in the last two minutes.'"

"The players, the coaches will understand that and say, 'Hey, we're going to get away with -- we're going to play more aggressive, we're going to push the envelope.' And then the game, it's going to be decided unfairly for a different reason."

3:38 PM PT -- Patrick Mahomes is sharing his regret over how he reacted in the closing seconds of his loss to the Bills ... admitting after going back and watching the video, it was, in fact, the correct call.

Mahomes did an interview with 610 Sports on Monday ... where he said his actions were unacceptable, especially how he treated Josh Allen after the game.

"Obviously, you don't ever want to react that way," Mahomes said. "I care, man. I love this game, I love my teammates. I want to go out there and put everything on the line to win."

"But obviously, can't do that, can't be that way toward officials or really anybody in life, so I probably regret acting like that. But, more than anything I regretted how I acted toward Josh after the game, because he had nothing to do with it."

Mahomes said he'll learn from the whole thing, as he wants to be a good role model to his young fans ... and he's ready to move on to his next opponent, the New England Patriots.

Patrick Mahomes showed a completely different side of himself after a controversial penalty eventually led to the Chiefs' loss to the Bills on Sunday ... going on a tirade on the sidelines and telling Josh Allen the call was "f***ing terrible."

Trailing 17-20 with just under 1:30 left in the game, Kansas City had a wild 25-yard touchdown play involving Travis Kelce and Kadarius Toney ... but it was called back after officials determined the latter lined up in the neutral zone prior to the snap.

The Bills went on to secure the victory ... and when Mahomes headed to the bench, he had to be held back by his teammates as he unloaded on the referees for what he thought was a BS call -- even throwing his helmet in frustration.

The tensions were just as high when Mahomes met up with Allen after the game ... 'cause instead of simply saying "good game" and trotting to the locker room, the two-time Super Bowl champ continued to rant about the penalty.

"Wildest f***ing call I've ever seen," Mahomes said while embracing Allen. "Offensive offsides in that moment, man ... f***ing terrible."

Of course, the consensus is Toney was visibly offsides prior to the start of the play ... and while Mahomes and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid aren't denying he was lined up in the neutral zone, they felt the sideline official should have either told the receiver to back up, or kept the flag in his pocket.

Mahomes' wife, Brittany, also shared her frustration with the call ... saying the ref was the real "MVP" of the game on her Instagram story.

When speaking with reporters, Mahomes said it was wrong for officials to "take away greatness like that" ... and it was "tough to swallow."

Reid echoed his quarterback ... saying it was an "embarrassing" moment for the league.

As for the refs' side of the controversy, Carl Cheffers said players can check with officials on their alignment prior to the snap ... but ultimately, it's their own responsibility -- especially because Toney's positioning was "beyond a warning."

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid says Kadarius Toney was offsides by an inch or two when he was penalized during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills ... telling reporters his receiver failed to check with officials prior to the snap, but was hoping they would have given him a heads up.

Reid was livid following the 20-17 loss to the Bills ... saying he felt the officiating crew should have tipped Toney off before the play, calling it "embarrassing" the game ended in that fashion.

Big Red addressed the controversial call again with the media on Monday ... when he explained his frustrations came from a lack of communication with the officials, which he's grown to expect over his decades in the NFL.

Regardless, he was not using the controversial call as an excuse for how the game played out.

"I've been doing this a long time," Reid said. "This isn't an excuse. It's a working relationship. That part is so important in this thing. You see it on both sides. You give the head coach a heads-up. That's what I was really trying to get across."

Reid said he reviewed the game tape and admitted Toney was past the line of scrimmage ... and he will make sure the receiver checks with officials moving forward.

Travis Kelce puede haber sido un perdedor en el campo el domingo por la noche, pero sigue siendo un ganador fuera de él, porque abandonó el Arrowhead Stadium de la mano con Taylor Swift.

La novia de la superestrella de los Chiefs asistió a su partido contra los Buffalo Bills por segundo fin de semana consecutivo y mientras Kelce y Kansas City no pudieron conseguir la victoria en casa, pero Swift estuvo allí para consolarlo.

Ella fue vista agarrando su mano y charlando con él después de la derrota por 20-17. Dada la forma controvertida en que los Chiefs perdieron, podemos apostar a que Travis necesitaba algo de afecto.

A pesar de los problemas que arruinaron la tarde para los Chiefs, Travis jugó sólidamente, registrando seis recepciones para 83 yardas.

Swift fue vista en la transmisión animándolo a menudo y en un momento durante el juego, el locutor Tony Romo en se refirió a ella como la "esposa" de Kelce, un error verbal que corrigió rápidamente.

El concurso de la NFL fue el sexto al que Swift ha asistido esta temporada y si usted está llevando la cuenta en casa, los Chiefs van 4-2 con ella en la asistencia.

Travis Kelce may have been a loser on the field on Sunday night, but off of it, he continued his winning ways, leaving Arrowhead Stadium hand in hand with Taylor Swift.

The Chiefs superstar's girlfriend was in attendance for his game against the Buffalo Bills for the second straight weekend ... and while Kelce and Kansas City couldn't pull out the win at home, Swift was there to console him afterward.

She was spotted grabbing his hand and chatting with him following the 20-17 L ... some TLC we're sure he could use, given the controversial way the Chiefs lost.

Despite an offsides call that ruined the afternoon for the Chiefs ... the tight end still played solidly, recording six catches for 83 yards.

Swift was seen on the broadcast cheering him on often ... and, at one point during the game, announcer Tony Romo actually referred to her as Kelce's "wife" -- a verbal flub he quickly corrected.

The NFL contest was the sixth one Swift has attended this season -- and if you're keeping score at home, the Chiefs are now 4-2 with her in attendance.
