Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are clearly well aware they have plenty of detractors ... but the Chiefs star admitted he and his boo talk about how important it is for their relationship to block out all of the "outside noise."

Kelce made the revelation while chatting with reporters about his off-field life on Friday -- just two days before Kansas City takes on Baltimore in the AFC Championship Game.

After one media member asked if he and Taylor had discussed the growing criticism they've received as they've gone more and more public with their love ... he said matter-of-factly, "The only thing we've talked about is as long as we're happy, we can't listen to anything that's outside noise."

"That's all that matters."

Kelce also said at the press conference there have been newfound challenges and critiques he's had to deal with this year as his star power has risen exponentially ... although he said he's been able to compartmentalize it all for the most part, allowing his teammates to believe in him.

Travis Kelce and Chiefs Kingdom won't like this ...

An extremely talented Baltimore fan is hoping to bring some good Taylor Swift juju to his favorite team ... by painting a mural of the pop star decked out in a Lamar Jackson jersey!!

The artist goes by dlordink on social media ... and at some point, after it was revealed the Ravens would take on the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game this weekend, he got the idea to try to use Swift's good luck powers for his squad.

The painter threw up the artwork at Unlimited Art Studio in Havre de Grace, Md. ... and he said on his TikTok page he and another designer spent three hours perfecting it.

Afterward, he was clearly pleased with how it all turned out ... writing in a caption on a pic of the wall, "Tag @taylorswift & @killatrav in the comments and let them know how good she looks in @new_era8 @ravens purple."

Great news for people who can't get enough of Travis Kelce -- the Kansas City Chiefs tight end just landed yet another commercial ... teaming up with Patrick Mahomes to sell some sammiches.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend shared his latest ad campaign with Subway on Thursday ... a short clip that primarily focuses on the superstar quarterback raving about pairing subs with the chain's new footlong cookie.

Mahomes addresses the camera in the spot ... saying, "There's nothing better than a Subway series footlong -- except when you add a new footlong sidekick."

"This might be my favorite sidekick ever," the two-time Super Bowl MVP adds ... as the camera cuts to Travis, who's clearly jealous of being replaced by a snack.

Mahomes and Kelce are one of the most dominant duos in NFL history -- they even broke Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski's career record with 16 postseason touchdowns this past weekend ... so the ad couldn't come at a more relevant time.

The Subway partnership adds to Kelce's growing list of endorsements he's landed after becoming a household name ... joining companies like Experian, Pfizer and State Farm who have used him in commercials over the past year.

In fact, Kelce also joined Mahomes for an ad with the insurance giant last year ... so they've really liked the idea of packaging themselves together lately.

It's been an incredible ride for the Ohio native -- he's won two Super Bowls, hosted "Saturday Night Live" and is dating the biggest star on the planet.

Taylor Swift has been trending these past couple days for all the wrong reasons -- somebody cranked out a bunch of X-rated/NSFW AI photos of her ... and they're absolutely wild.

Here's the deal ... tons of different mockups and renderings depicting fake Taylor in a bunch of sexual situations have been flooding Twitter over the past 24 hours or so, and they all come from artificial intelligence programming. And yes, they do look somewhat real, too.

The "photos" show AI Taylor in graphic fashion -- whether it's her being groped and fondled by fans/players at a Kansas City Chiefs game ... or, in some instances, more explicit sex.

In all the AI KC renderings that are circulating, fake Taylor is basically being tossed around and used as a sex prop -- and she's depicted in red paint, and often fully nude as well. There are other AI offerings that are surfacing too ... and she's again being sexualized.

While some pervs are relishing in the images -- and trying to crank out even more, it seems -- more than enough Swifties have come out in fierce defense of their hero/idol.

In fact, that's exactly why "PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT" is trending on X right now ... it's her fans who are denouncing the flood of AI photos, pointing out she's being victimized here.

Not just that ... but it looks like the Swifties are flagging accounts that are allegedly spreading all this -- and while X tends to let porn slide, it does appear that moderators on the site are flagging these and yanking them. Some accounts also seem to be getting dinged.

Of course, Taylor herself hasn't addressed this yet -- and frankly, she doesn't need to ... it's very much so beneath her. But the fact these AI porn pics made their way onto the internet in the first place signals a dangerous time for stars. Your image/likeness is in the wind!

We've seen other instances of AI trying to impersonate/replicate stars -- be it through music or otherwise -- and now ... deep-fake images showing them in gross settings is the latest.

Scary times we live in ... but at least T-Swift has her army fully behind her in this cause.

Taylor Swift ha sido trending estos últimos días por todas las razones equivocadas, y es que alguien lanzó un montón de fotos porno de ella usando la IA y son absolutamente salvajes.

Este es el asunto, toneladas de diferentes maquetas de una falsa Taylor en un montón de situaciones sexuales han estado inundando Twitter en las últimas 24 horas y todas provienen de la programación de inteligencia artificial. Y sí, también parecen algo reales.

Las "fotos" muestran a una Taylor de IA de forma explícita, ya sea, siendo manoseada y acariciada por aficionados/jugadores en un partido de los Kansas City Chiefs o, en algunos casos, en situaciones sexuales más gráficas.

En todos los renders que circulan, la falsa Taylor Swfit es básicamente manoseada y utilizada como accesorio sexual y se la representa con pintura roja y a menudo también completamente desnuda.

Aunque algunos pervertidos se deleitan con las imágenes y tratan de sacar aún más, al parecer, más que suficientes Swifties han salido a defender ferozmente a su heroína.

De hecho, esa es la razón por la que el hashtag "PROTECT TAYLOR SWIFT" es tendencia en X en este momento. Son sus fans los que están denunciando la avalancha de fotos IA, señalando que está siendo víctima aquí.

No solo eso. Parece que los Swifties están marcando las cuentas que supuestamente están difundiendo todo esto, y aunque X tiende a dejar pasar la pornografía, parece que los moderadores en el sitio están marcando estos sitios y los están removiendo. Algunas cuentas también parecen estar siendo marcadas y rechazadas.

Por supuesto, la propia Taylor no ha abordado esto todavía y, francamente, no necesita hacerlo, es muy bajo para ella. Pero el hecho de que estas fotos porno de AI lleguen a Internet sugiere un momento peligroso para las estrellas. ¡Su imagen está en el viento!

Hemos visto otros casos de IA tratando de suplantar y/o replicar estrellas, pero estas falsas imágenes de celebridades en contextos desagradables es lo último.

Taylor Swift al parecer no tenía problemas con Jason Kelce a torso desnudo en el partido de los Bills el domingo, porque Travis Kelce dijo que su novia "absolutamente amaba" a  Jason.

Los hermanos Kelce dedicaron casi media hora de su pódcast "New Heights" del miércoles a analizar el comportamiento extravagante de Jason en su primer viaje como aficionado al Highmark Stadium y no pasó mucho tiempo para que el mayor de los Kelce explicara por qué prescindió de su parte superior delante de la mayor estrella del pop en el planeta.

Jason dijo que quería vivir la experiencia de los Bills Mafia y se sumergió en la experiencia de ser un aficionado de los Buffalo, pero bromeó con que todo esto casi causa una pelea con su esposa, Kylie.

"Ella ya me estaba diciendo que me portara lo mejor posible porque íbamos a conocer a Taylor", dijo Jason.

El hermano de Travis, sin embargo, luego dijo hilarantemente: "Yo estaba como, Kylie, el primer día que te conocí estaba borracho y me quedé dormido en el bar. Esto es parte del encanto. Es parte del encanto de Jason Kelce". Quiero causar mi mejor primera impresión... esta es mi mejor oportunidad".

¿La buena noticia? Travis dijo que a pesar de que Jason pasó la mayor parte de la noche cerca de Swift bebiendo cervezas sin camiseta... el cantante de "Bad Blood" no tuvo ningún problema con él.

"Bueno", dijo Travis, "Tay dijo que te quería absolutamente".

Parece que casi todo el mundo alrededor de Jason también lo hizo esa noche. Como recordaréis, después de que subiera a unas niñas al palco para saludar a Swift, los fans le suplicaron que se uniera a los Bills.

Taylor Swift apparently had no issues with Jason Kelce freein' the nip in front of her at the Bills game Sunday ... 'cause Travis Kelce said his GF "absolutely loved" him despite the shirtless antics.

The Kelce brothers dedicated nearly half an hour of their "New Heights" podcast on Wednesday to breaking down Jason's wacky behavior on his first trip as a fan to Highmark Stadium ... and it didn't take long for the elder Kelce to explain why he dropped his top in front of the biggest pop star on the planet.

Jason said he wanted to get the full Bills Mafia experience and immerse himself into Buffalo fans' famous "pageantry" ... but he did joke it all almost caused a tiff with his wife, Kylie.

"She was already telling me to be on my best behavior because we were meeting Taylor," Jason said.

Travis' brother, however, then hilariously said, "I was like, 'Kylie, the first day I met you I was blacked-out drunk and fell asleep at the bar. This is part of the charm! This is part of the Jason Kelce charm!' I want to make my best first impression -- this is my best chance."

The good news? Travis said despite Jason spending most of the night near Swift slugging beers without a shirt on ... the "Bad Blood" crooner had no issues with him whatsoever.

"Well," Travis said, "Tay said she absolutely loved you."

Seems most everyone else around Jason did that night, too. You'll recall, after he brought some little girls up to the box to say hi to Swift, fans pleaded with him to join the Bills.

Travis Kelce said what everyone was thinking about the Buffalo Bills' head-scratching fake punt with Damar Hamlin during Sunday's playoff game ... admitting he bluntly asked himself, "What in the f*** are they doing??"

The Bills were feeling spicy early in the fourth quarter of their 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs ... going for it on fourth and five from their own 30-yard line, which resulted in a turnover on downs.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend spoke about the interesting decision to try and pull a quick one on the defending Super Bowl champs ... and he was just as confused as everyone else.

"Initially, I'm like, 'What the f*** are they doing?'" Kelce told his brother, Jason, on their "New Heights" podcast. "Fourth and five, in your own territory at that point in the game, that's not time for a fake ... especially in the playoffs, where everything is on the line."

Kelce broke down what he eventually concluded about the move ... explaining he believes the Bills noticed the Chiefs only had 10 men on the field, and they had an audible in place for that specific scenario in hopes of maximizing on the opportunity.

Of course, Hamlin was stuffed after just a few yards ... and the Chiefs took over possession before eventually securing the win and a spot in the AFC Championship Game.

Sorry, Swifties ... Travis Kelce just admitted his viral heart hands celebration on Sunday was NOT aimed at his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed on Wednesday's episode of his "New Heights" podcast that the gesture was actually for angry Buffalo Bills fans.

Kelce explained to his brother, Jason, on the show that as he was pulling up to Highmark Stadium in Buffalo to prep for the Divisional Round playoff game, Bills Mafia threw shade his team's way that he thought crossed the line.

"The Bills -- coming into their house, they want to make it rowdy," Kelce said. "Did it get a little disrespectful? One-thousand percent. One-thousand percent. Did it get a little extra? One-thousand percent."

Kelce declined to say exactly what was said by the Bills backers ... though he did tell Jason, "Some things were said about the families -- some pretty inappropriate things were said about Pat Mahomes. It was pretty wack."

So, in an effort to make sure Bills fans knew the feelings weren't "mutual" ... he formed his fingers into a heart after scoring his first touchdown of the night.

"I don't hate you guys like you hate us," he said of what his intentions were with the celly. "It's all love, baby. It's all love."

Of course, Swift has made the move famous over the years ... and Kelce was actually spotted throwing it up to her fans at her show down in Argentina late last year.

Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes y Cara Delevingne fueron a celebrar la gran victoria de los Kansas City Chiefs en los playoffs a la Gran Manzana para una noche de chicas el martes.

La superestrella del pop y sus dos amigas salieron con estilo en dirección al restaurante Nobu en Manhattan para comer un delicioso sushi. El sexy trío llegó al lugar en un todoterreno, antes de que su chófer las ayudara a bajar del asiento trasero.

Un montón de paparazzi tomaron fotos mientras las mujeres subían un pequeño tramo de escaleras hasta desaparecer en el interior del famoso restaurante.

En cuanto a sus atuendos, Taylor llevaba un vestido negro con botas de cuero a juego y un bolso de mano. Cara también iba vestida de negro, con pantalones y blazer con una camiseta interior. Mahomes eligió una minifalda estampada en negro y gris con botas de tacón negras. También llevaba un bolso blanco.

El domingo, Taylor y compañía comenzaron su celebración, festejando como locos después de que los Chiefs lograran una victoria por 27-24 sobre los Buffalo Bills para avanzar al juego por el Campeonato de la AFC contra los Baltimore Ravens.

Taylor tenía mucho por lo que alegrarse, ya que su galán, el ala cerrada de los Chiefs Travis Kelce, atrapó un pase del maridito de Brittany, el QB Patrick Mahomes, durante el partido. Tras el touchdown, Kelce formó un corazón con sus manos en dirección a la suite VIP de Taylor en el Highmark Stadium de Buffalo. ¡Hablando de amor verdadero!

Taylor Swift, Brittany Mahomes and Cara Delevingne took their celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs' big playoff victory to the Big Apple for a girls' night out Tuesday.

The pop superstar and her two close buds went out in style, hitting up Nobu in Manhattan for some yummy sushi. The sexy trio rolled up in an SUV to the restaurant, before their chauffeur helped them out of the backseat onto the curb.

A slew of paparazzi photogs were snapping pictures as the women strolled up a small flight of stairs, disappearing inside the famed eatery.

As for their outfits ... Taylor wore a black dress with matching leather boots while carrying a clutch purse. Cara was also decked out in all black, sporting pants and a blazer with an undershirt. Mahomes chose a black and gray patterned mini skirt with black heeled boots. She also carried a white purse.

On Sunday, Taylor and co. began their celebration, partying like crazy after the Chiefs eked out a 27-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills to advance to the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Taylor had much to be happy about as her hunky beau, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, caught a touchdown pass from Brittany's hubby, QB Patrick Mahomes, during the game.

After the Chiefs won, Taylor, Brittany and Cara enjoyed lots of booze and fun conversations in their VIP suite at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium. Travis' All-Pro brother, Jason, and his wife, Kylie, joined the women and had a blast, too.

8:38 AM PT -- The 10 Lives Club just gave us an update on the amount of donations for Tyler Bass' charity ... as of early Tuesday morning, they've collected over $50K for the Bills kicker!

"We've never received this much in a day ever," said 10 Lives Club spokesperson.

Football fans are throwing their support behind Tyler Bass with their wallets ... 'cause tons of donations are flooding in for the Bills kicker's charity after he missed a crucial field goal in Buffalo's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

26-year-old Bass -- one of the best kickers in the league -- was targeted with heavy criticism after his 44-yard attempt went wide right in the closing minutes of the Divisional Round game on Sunday ... which helped seal the 27-24 win for the defending Super Bowl champs.

Bass reportedly even received threats over the mishap ... which seemingly resulted in him deactivating his social media accounts.

But, in true Bills Mafia fashion, diehards are showing serious love for Bass to try and drown out the hate ... by making $22 contributions (as a nod to his No. 2 jersey) to the Ten Lives Club, a cat rescue charity he has worked with over the years.

So far, the organization has seen more than $25,000 come in from both Bills and Chiefs fans, according to WIVB in Buffalo.

The shelter also released a statement on social media ... calling for the negativity toward Bass to stop.

"WE STAND WITH TYLER BASS. DON’T BULLY OUR FRIEND 👊," the org. said on Monday. "We just heard the terrible news that Tyler Bass is receiving threats after yesterday’s game and our phones are ringing off the hook from people who want to donate $22 to Ten Lives Club in Tyler’s name."

"Tyler doesn’t deserve any of the hate he’s receiving. He’s an excellent football player and an even better person who took the time to help our organization and rescue cats last year. Leave our friend alone."

Bass owned up to the miss right after the game ... taking blame for the Bills' exit from the postseason, but his teammates like Josh Allen had his back -- saying it was a group effort.

It's no surprise the Bills' passionate fanbase is rallying behind one of their guys with charitable contributions ... as they've helped raise money for Allen, Damar Hamlin and more in the past.

We're off to the races at TMZ to kick off the week -- and yes, that means a helluva lot of good TV content right from the jump ... and we're here to catch you up on all of it.

Richard Simmons said he didn't give Pauly Shore permission to make a movie about his life -- but now ... Pauly Shore is suggesting RS appears to have changed his tune, or so he claims anyway. We got into the apparent about-face on 'TMZ Live' ... trying to make sense of this back-and-forth, and whether Pauly actually has the fitness legend's blessing or not.

On the face of it ... it's kinda hard to tell for sure -- even after this weekend.

Over on the 'TMZ on TV' side of things ... Taylor Swift was all the rage -- but not nearly as much as rage as Travis Kelce's brother, Jason ... who was partying it up at the game Sunday. As we discussed here, the guy let it all hang out in the brisk, cold weather.

Yes, he was shirtless ... and we had some laughs about the whole thing. All in good fun!

When it comes to 'TMZ Sports,' we were still talking Chiefs-Bills ... but specifically, the snowball pelting that the Bills Mafia unleashed on Patrick Mahomes, who ducked for cover.

Buffalo is refuting claims that it shut off the Chiefs' hot water following their playoff game Sunday night ... a rep for the city tells TMZ Sports the allegations are "false."

Chiefs offensive lineman Donovan Smith went public with the accusation on his X page just after Kansas City upset the Bills, 27-24, at Highmark Stadium ... writing, "Damn caught a L and they shut our hot water off…"

However, a spokesperson for Eerie County -- which owns Highmark Stadium -- said in a statement Monday morning that the team and its officials did no such thing.

"This is false," Eerie County Press Secretary Peter Anderson said. "There is no way to turn hot water off on one side or the other. There are two huge hot water tanks which feed both home and away locker rooms."

Anderson said if the Chiefs did experience any issues, it was likely due to high demand following the frigid game.

"It is no different than in your home;" Anderson added, "when the water runs continuously, it will struggle to keep up with demand. Everything for hot water in the locker rooms was upgraded in recent renovations."

Of course, the alleged shower problems weren't the only thing K.C. players had a gripe with following the big victory ... they also didn't love that they were pelted by snowballs from angry fans as well.

Bills' Tyler Bass is kicking himself after missing the game-tying field goal against the Chiefs in Sunday's divisional round ... placing the blame for the loss squarely on his own shoulders.

"Ultimately you can put it on me," the 26-year-old kicker told reporters after the 27-24 loss. "I got to do a better job of keeping my target."

Of course, the Bills were down 3 with 1:47 left in the game when Bass -- who signed a 4-year extension last April -- attempted a 44-yard FG which sailed "wide right" (which have become the franchise's most dreaded words).

For all intends and purposes it was game over at that point.

The crushing loss marks the third time in the last four years that the Chiefs have sent the Bills home for the season.

"I got to do a better job of playing it a little bit more left to right," Bass said.

"I’ve been playing here long enough to know you got to do that. It just didn’t work out. I feel terrible. I love this team and this one hurts bad."

Despite fans ripping the kicker for the miss, his quarterback Josh Allen had his back after the game, comforting Bass, and reminding people it's time to comfort, not rip the kicker.

"Wish it wouldn't have been put in that situation," Allen said. "You win as a team, you lose as a team."

Taylor Swift no es eclipsada muy a menudo, pero el hermano de Travis Kelce, Jason, puede haber hecho precisamente eso en el partido del domingo, donde se mostró sin camiseta y listo para celebrar.

El centro de las Águilas -cuya temporada ha terminado después de que su equipo perdió en los playoffs la semana pasada- estaba pasando el rato con T-Swift y un montón de otros amigos y familia en una suite privada en el Highmark Stadium cuado Travis y los Chiefs se enfrentaron a los Bills de Buffalo en un gran juego.

Se podía decir que Jason estaba listo para la fiesta desde el primer momento, porque muy rápidamente perdió su camiseta y estuvo a pecho descubierto durante gran parte del juego, aplastando cervezas y rugiendo.

Por supuesto, Tay-Tay también estuvo a su lado, gritando como loca, mientras bebía con Brittany Mahomes y otras amigas, como Cara Delevingne. Por lo que se ve en las fotos de su celebración, se lo estaban pasando muy bien allí.

Ahora, en un momento en que las cosas se calmaron, algunos fans llamaron la atención de Jason -al parecer eran jóvenes swifties que querían saludar a su ídola- Jason vio esto, bajó hacia ellas (de nuevo, sin camisa) y accedió a su petición.

Cogió a las dos chicas y las llevó a la ventana, donde pudieron saludar a Taylor y a todos los que estaban dentro... Jason se limitó a hacer el papel tipo simpático que facilitó todo.

Fue un momento bastante dulce, debemos decir que el chico es bastante relajado, y así son sus padres.

Taylor, Travis y todos los demás se fueron juntos después del partido, los detalles son un poco confusos acerca de dónde fueron a celebrar, pero hay una foto dando vueltas que muestra Trav y compañía posando en una foto grupal.
