TRAVIS KELCE MISSING GRAMMYS, SORRY TAYLOR ... Strict SB Schedule!!

UPDATE

11:15 AM -- Travis expressed his disappointment over not being able to jet to L.A. for the awards show ... saying on "The Pat McAfee Show" he wishes he could go and "watch her win every single award that she's nominated for" -- but his day job simply won't allow it.

SUPER BOWL COMES FIRST

Just like we reported, Travis explained he will be traveling to Sin City on Sunday -- the same day of the Grammys -- and while he'll be supporting in spirit, he'll have to be with the team as they focus on bringing a Lombardi Trophy back to Kansas City.

Taylor Swift's been showing up to her boo Travis Kelce's games to cheer him on ... but he won't be returning the favor during her big night at the Grammys -- but for good reason.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Kansas City Chiefs tight end will actually be arriving in Vegas the same weekend as music's biggest night ... where he and the team will be on a strict schedule ahead of squaring up to the 49ers for the Super Bowl.

This kills any hope from Swifties that TK would show up as Taylor's plus-one at the Grammys -- as they all realized his spot in the SB meant he'd no longer play in the Pro Bowl the same day ... and would therefore technically be free to hit up the Grammys with Tay Tay.

Alas, it ain't gonna happen -- our sources say there's no chance Travis shows up in L.A. this weekend. So, it looks like Taylor's gotta find company elsewhere or even ride solo for the glam evening this weekend. ... where she's up for 6 awards.

Of course, the conflict in their schedule doesn't signal any trouble in paradise between the pair ... remember, he just dropped the L-bomb after the Chiefs earned their way to the Super Bowl following a 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. AKA, they're doing just fine.

While TK's been soaking up Taylor's PDA-packed show of support lately, many NFL'ers haven't ... blasting the singer for making the games about her -- even though she has no control over the stadium cameras ... something both he and she have made abundantly clear.

For his part, Travis is totally aware of the venom directed at his woman ... telling off-field reporters days ahead of the AFC Championship Game they frequently discuss blocking out all of the "outside noise."

Fortunately for him, he won't have to hear any of it on a huge showbiz stage -- his mind's strictly focused on football right now ... and his GF's more than capable of handling her business in the spotlight.

DAVID LETTERMAN I'M TEAM TRAYLOR ... NFL Haters, Shut Up!!!

David Letterman is telling Taylor Swift's NFL haters to "shut up" about her romance with Travis Kelce -- even though he seems a little confused about who her boyfriend is.

The talk show host offered up a passionate defense of Taylor in a new clip he posted to his social media ... and yes, it's a fierce cosign of all things Taylor, whom he calls a bright light in a world full of darkness.

Such a lovely thing
Instagram / @letterman

Also ... DL hilariously confused TK for Kelsey Grammer -- something he continued to mistakenly say, even after being corrected a couple times. Point being ... he loves Taylor!

According to David, Tay doesn't deserve any hate whatsoever ... especially if her stadium-packing credentials are anything to go by -- but to those who couldn't care less about her pop culture icon status and don't want her anywhere near the pitch ... he tells 'em to zip it.

David says T&T's PDA-packed relationship is a lovely, positive, and good thing for both the NFL camp and Taylor's own. He just wants more unity in the world, not division -- and he seems to think Tay-Tay provides that.

ICYMI, Taylor's been coming out to cheer on the KC Chiefs tight end since September ... though she's been heavily criticized for distracting from the sport by fuming diehard fans.

In fact, Tony Dungy even recently compared her to outside noise affecting the game itself in a Fox News interview -- and who can forget Taylor's viral stare-down with Golden Globes host Jo Koy when he mocked her NFL appearances during his opening monologue?

David Letterman defiende a Taylor Swift De los haters de la NFL

David Letterman le dice a los haters de Taylor Swift de la NFL que "se callen" sobre su romance con Travis Kelce, a pesar de que parece un poco confundido acerca de quién es su novio.

El presentador del programa de entrevistas le ofreció su apoyo a Taylor y Travis en un nuevo clip que publicó en sus redes sociales y sí, él dice que Taylor es una luz brillante en un mundo lleno de oscuridad.

David hilarantemente confundió varias veces a Travis con Kelsey Grammer, incluso después de ser corregido un par de veces. ¡El punto es que ama a Taylor!

Según David, Tay no se merece ningún tipo de odio, dice que Taylor es un fenomeno cultural estos días y al que no le importe debería quedarse al margen.

David dice que la relación es encantadora, positiva y buena tanto para el campo de la NFL y la propia Taylor. Él solo quiere más unidad en el mundo, no la división y parece pensar que TayTay proporciona eso.

Por si no lo sabías, Taylor ha estado saliendo a animar a los Chiefs desde septiembre, aunque ella ha sido duramente criticada por distraer la atención del deporte.

De hecho, Tony Dungy incluso la comparó recientemente con las cosas molestas que no tienen que ver con el juego en una entrevista con Fox News y ¿quién puede olvidar el enfrentamiento viral de Taylor con el anfitrión de los Globos de Oro Jo Koy cuando se burló de sus apariciones en la NFL durante su monólogo de apertura?

Kristin Juszczyk Strikes Licensing Deal With NFL ... After Taylor Swift's Jacket Goes Viral

Kristin Juszczyk has gone official ... just days after her custom NFL fits went viral -- with some help from Taylor Swift -- the league granted her a licensing deal to use their logos on her designs!

The deal was struck this week, according to Sportico ... allowing Juszczyk -- who is married to 49ers star fullback Kyle Juszczyk -- will be able to legally use the logos of NFL teams for men's and women's clothing.

The financial terms of the agreement aren't known.

Kristin's brand is one of the hottest things going right now ... all since she received the best free marketing ever from Swift, who rocked her puffer coat design (an ode to Travis' #87) to the frigid Chiefs vs. Dolphins game in Kansas City on January 13.

Brittany Mahomes also wore a custom Juszczyk jacket with Patrick Mahomes' jersey number ... as did Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles, who wore a bubble vest representing her husband Jonathan Owens.

Olivia Culpo -- who's engaged to Christian McCaffrey -- also modeled a 49ers bustier by Juszczyk for the Divisional Round game this month.

And, it's not just the WAGs rockin' Juszczyk's custom designs ... "Twilight" actor Taylor Lautner wore a dope Aidan Hutchinson jacket at a Detroit Lions playoff game a few weeks ago.

While Juszczyk's amazing work has just recently grabbed the public's attention, she's been building the business for years, and now the hard work has paid off.

"She’s been grinding for years now and working so hard," Kyle said.

"I'm so happy to see her get her stuff out there, everybody sees it and recognizes it was hers."

Expect to see more of Kristin's work at Super Bowl LVIII (though probably no puffer coats in the desert) ... and seasons to come!

Ha habido rumores últimamente de que Taylor y Travis se comprometerían lo antes posible, pero Kyle dice que el escenario más realista es que Travis haga la propuesta en 2025, sobre la base de una serie de factores que vamos a dejar que él explique.

Dicho esto, dice que se están plantando todas las semillas para una relación duradera en este momento, y que no se sorprendería si una propuesta llega incluso antes.

Sobre cuándo podrían, potencialmente, casarse, él tiene una respuesta para eso también. Según Kyle, Tay-Tay parece tener algunos logros más en su lista de cosas por hacer antes de casarse. ¡Al menos eso es lo que los cielos le están diciendo!

With that said ... he does say that all the seeds for a long-lasting relationship are being planted right now -- and he wouldn't even be surprised if a proposal came sooner.

On the question of when they might, potentially, get hitched ... he's got an answer for that too. According to Kyle -- Tay-Tay seems to have a few more accomplishments on her bucket list that she might be wanna cross off first. At least that's what the heavens are telling him!

Travis Kelce It's True, I 'Love' Taylor Swift ... L-Bomb Confirmed

The CW / Inside The NFL

Put all the speculation to rest -- Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are in love and they don't care who knows ... 'cause new audio proves the Kansas City Chiefs superstar shared his deep feelings for the singer right after the AFC Championship Game.

There was speculation about what exactly was said between the two after the Chiefs punched their tickets to the Super Bowl with a 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday ... with many believing they dropped L-bombs, but the sound quality couldn't definitively confirm the exchange.

The "Inside the NFL" cameras came through in the clutch for all Tayvis fans just minutes ago ... releasing a clip where hot mics picked up the majority of their convo.

Swift replied by telling him how proud she is ... and there very well may have been an "I love you, too," but we can't say for sure.

Ravens' Justin Tucker Addresses Pregame Spat With Travis Kelce, Mahomes ... 'I Find It Kind Of Silly'

Justin Tucker just opened up about the tiff he got into with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes before their game on Sunday ... downplaying the incident, while calling it all "kind of silly."

The Chiefs stars had big beef with JT just before the AFC Championship at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, after he placed his helmet and kicking balls near their warm ups. Kelce actually got so heated during the moment, he kicked Tucker's stuff ... before hurling his helmet.

On Monday, the Ravens star was asked about the encounter ... and he said it was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his 12-year career. But, he did seem to say he wasn't taking anything too personal.

"I saw Patrick there trying to warm up and get some drop backs," Tucker said. "He asked me while I was on the ground stretching if I could move my helmet. I happily got up and I moved my helmet out of the way -- at least I thought it was enough out of the way. And then Travis comes over and he just kicks my stuff, and he throws my helmet."

"I just thought it was all just some gamesmanship, all in good fun but they seemed to be taking it a little more seriously."

Tucker added he's now ready to put the whole thing behind them.

"That's just what I've done for 12 years and it's not like I'm out there trying to be problematic," he said. "I'm just trying to get ready for the football game just like they are."

Taylor Swift Will Not Perform at Super Bowl LVIII ... The Stage Is All Usher's!!!!

Taylor Swift is headed to the Super Bowl in 2 weeks to watch Travis Kelce -- but for everyone thinking she might step into music mode while there ... we have bad news for ya.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... T-Swift is NOT going to be performing in any capacity during SB LVIII -- and that includes during the Halftime Show ... when Usher is scheduled to rock the house as a solo act.

Not only is Taylor not going to pick up a microphone to croon a tune ... but we're hearing there's no chance T-Swift will go anywhere near the stage, let alone step onto it.

In other words, our sources say there are zero plans to have her participate in the Super Bowl whatsoever -- outside of her just being there as a fan -- and Usher is going to have the spotlight all to himself in terms of live entertainment that day.

The reason this even has to be stated, explicitly, in the first place is because ... well, with Tay Tay cashing her ticket to the big game -- along with the Kansas City Chiefs -- her fans were rife with speculation that there might be some type of big musical surprise in store.

Makes sense, frankly ... she's the biggest pop star in the world right now, and her mere presence at the Super Bowl itself is enough to get the rumor mill whipped up, we suppose.

GETTING THE BIG CALL

Of course, Taylor doesn't owe any favors to the NFL ... so even though her fan base might've assumed something was in the works, it's a little naïve -- everyone knows Taylor's a businesswoman, and she ain't working for free. More importantly though ... this is Usher's moment.

The other thing to consider is the fact that Taylor will have just arrived from Tokyo when she hits Vegas ... from none other than the last of 4 straight shows back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

So, yes ... Taylor will probably be pretty tired, and all her energy (we imagine) is going to be put toward her cheering on her man. It's gonna be an emotional rollercoaster ... and Taylor won't have the time or the will to put on a show. Plus, again ... her talents ain't free!

Taylor Swift no actuará en el Super Bowl LVIII

Taylor Swift estará en el Super Bowl en dos semanas para ver a Travis Kelce, pero para todo el mundo es más bien una oportunidad para verla actuar... aunque tenemos malas noticias al respecto.

Fuentes directas le dicen a TMZ que Taylor no va a presentarse en el medio tiempo este año y que será Usher quien tendrá el honor de hacerlo.

Y eso no es todo... también nos enteramos de que no va a subirse al escenario para nada los próximos días.

Imaginamos que disfruta mucho estar en el papel de fan, sobre todo si es su novio quien está en el campo de juego.

Es nuestro deber aclarar que TayTay no se presentará, ya que los fans estaban especulando muchísimo.

Tiene sentido si pensamos que es la estrella musical más grande del mundo en la actualidad, y el Super Bowl es un escenario muy importante para los estadounidenses.

Por supuesto, Taylor no le debe ningún favor a la NFL, por lo que a pesar de que su base de fans podría haber asumido que se presentará, es un poco ingenuo pensar que lo hará gratis. Todo el mundo sabe que Taylor es una mujer de negocios, sin embargo, lo más importante es que este es el momento de Usher para brillar.

La otra cosa a considerar es el hecho de que Taylor estará llegando de Tokio cuando aterrice en Las Vegas, y vendrá de dar nada menos que el último de cuatro shows consecutivos.

Asumimos que Taylor estará bastante cansada y toda su energía se va a enfocar en el estadio. Va a ser una montaña rusa de emociones y Taylor no tendrá el tiempo o la voluntad de montar un espectáculo. Además, de nuevo, ¡su talento no es gratis!

Taylor Swift Seems to Say 'I Love You' to Travis ... During On-Field Celebration

POST-GAME LOVE STORY

Taylor Swift said the "L" word to Travis Kelce after his big win Sunday -- or at least that's what fans *think* she's saying in this video ... which is getting picked apart and dissected.

The couple shared an on-field hug/kiss after the game against the Ravens -- where TK had a ton of people around him, batting him on the big and celebrating his team's victory ... but it wasn't until Taylor herself showed up to embrace her man that folks really paid attention.

For good reason, too, of course ... 'cause as they were talking to each other and whispering sweet-nothings into one another's ear -- people started to do some deep-dive lip-reading.

Watch the video yourself and you'll see what's got everyone down a rabbit hole right now. After they chit-chat for a quick sec -- which you can hear -- they go in for a smooch, and as Taylor pulls away and goes back in for another hug, she appears to mouth "I love you."

That's certainly what it looks like to a lot of people, anyway ... eye of the beholder, though.

This probably wouldn't be the first time Taylor's said this to Travis -- there's been speculation dating back to New Year's Eve that he said it to her as well -- but it is further evidence that these two are very serious ... and knee-deep into their relationship by now.

Anyway, Taylor and Travis are clearly tied at the hip these days -- especially in a football capacity -- and you gotta figure she'll be there front and center for the Super Bowl as well.

Taylor Swift le dijo la palabra con "L" a Travis Kelce después de su gran victoria el domingo, o al menos eso es lo que los fans piensan que dijo en este video.

La pareja compartió un abrazo y un beso en el campo después del partido contra los Ravens, donde Travis tuvo a un montón de gente a su alrededor celebrando la victoria de su equipo, pero no fue hasta que la propia Taylor apareció para abrazar a su hombre que la gente realmente prestó atención.

Se les pudo ver conversando y diciéndose cosas al oído, la gente comenzó a hacer algunas especulaciones de lectura de labios.

TAYLOR SWIFT & TRAVIS KELCE AIRLINES HONOR Trayvis FANDOM ... W/ Special SB Flights!!!

Love is in the air for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce -- and now their fans can be too ... 'cause airlines are cashing in on the celeb romance for the Super Bowl!

Ahead of the big game two Sundays from now, American Airlines has announced direct flights between Kansas City, Missouri, and Sin City with the number "1989" -- which Swifties will immediately recognize as the 2014/2023 re-recorded album of hers.

Following the game, flight AA 87 will be your ticket home to TK's hometown, an obvious nod to his jersey number. Yes, AA went all out with this gimmick-y flight path ... creative, indeed.

They're not the only airline hopping on the T-Swift bandwagon, BTW ... United's doing it too.

UA has added similar flight numbers as well -- including UA 2287 referring to Tay Tay's song "22" and Travis' jersey number. Plus another flight UA 1587 merges Kelce and fellow Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes' jersey numbers. The airline's schedule also includes special flights from San Francisco to Vegas.

Tickets are now available from the airlines' website and their apps -- and you better believe these airlines are banking on people hopping aboard. On its face, this seems to be one mile high club everyone will be scrambling to be a part of!

It's only fitting that these companies are trying to capitalize on the whole frenzy that's blown up among the football couple's super fandom, which kickstarted back in September when Taylor first came out to cheer on Travis, sitting alongside his mamma, Donna Kelce at the time.

Taylor Swift No, You're The Man, Tony Romo!!! ... Trade Compliments After AFC Title Game

Taylor Swift and Tony Romo were gassin' each other up when they crossed paths at the AFC Championship Game ... with both sides showering each other with compliments -- and the cute interaction was caught on video.

Swift made her way to the field to celebrate her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, following the Kansas City Chiefs' 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday ... and as the players accepted the Lamar Hunt Trophy, the pop superstar made her way over to the former quarterback-turned-CBS commentator to give him his flowers.

Reporters on the scene claim Swift initiated the praise-off ... telling Romo he does a good job, to which he appeared to reply that she's "even better."

In a clip of the exchange, it appears Swift downplayed the comparison ... saying, "We’re doing very different things, aren’t we? It’s a different skill set" before the two shared a fist bump.

The two also shared a hug as Travis did his thing on the stage ... and Taylor was over the moon as Chiefs Kingdom soaked in the dub.

Taylor Swift Big Postgame Hug For Travis Kelce ... Chiefs to Super Bowl!!!

Taylor Swift's a very happy pop star right now ... 'cause her boyfriend Travis Kelce just booked a place in Super Bowl LVIII -- and she gave him a huge hug on the field to celebrate.

The Kansas City Chiefs just defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 at M&T Bank Stadium and booked their ticket to the NFL's final showdown where they'll play either the San Francisco 49ers or the Detroit Lions. Tay and Travis hugged it out on the field -- a sweet moment between the power couple.

Taylor was super into the entire game ... cheering loudly after Travis caught a TD in the first quarter -- and wringing her hands down the stretch when Baltimore looked like they might mount a late comeback. Happy ending for a team that's dominated the league in recent years.

It's K.C.'s fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five years, but their first since Taylor and Travis took over as the world's most famous couple.

While she won't be on the field in Vegas Feb. 11 -- this feels like a big moment for Tay too ... a culmination of a full season of football super fandom that started way back in September.

Remember ... we first saw Taylor at the Chiefs' week 3 matchup against the Bears. She sat next to Donna Kelce -- the first time but most certainly not the last -- while she watched her BF beat down on Chicago for a 41-10 Chiefs W.

T-Swift headed on the road for the next game -- traveling to East Rutherford, New Jersey to watch K.C. pull out a narrow 23-20 win over the New York Jets. She brought some friends with her BTW ... close friend Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and freakin' Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman.

On top of that, Swift was spotted hanging the night before with Sophie Turner and one new friend in NYC ... Brittany Mahomes -- who has remained a constant football companion for the 34-year-old.

The Swift era in K.C. kept going strong  ... with a 19-8 win over the Broncos on a chilly Thursday night in Missouri back in October. Taylor gave Donna a friendship bracelet ... and the Chiefs moved to 3-0 with Swift in attendance.

Four appearances, four wins for the Chiefs. Taylor and new BFF Brittany hit the suite for the Chiefs' win over the Chargers on Oct. 22. They even revealed a new secret handshake to the world ... reviews were mixed.

It took more than a month for Swift to hit up another NFL game ... with Travis traveling to Europe to play a game and Swift going on tour in South America. We didn't worry about the couple though -- 'cause Travis went down to Argentina to visit for a couple days.

Swift cropped up again in early December ... but the long-term separation seemed to spoil the T-Swift magic. The Chiefs dropped their first game with Swift in attendance to the Green Bay Packers -- and some fans started to question if there was a curse attached to the star.

Bills vs Chiefs ... a game marred by controversy -- and T-Swift was on hand to see all of it. A competitive game throughout, Taylor could be seen blasting those amazing pipes of hers ... before a controversial offsides call late resulted in a 20-17 Buffalo victory and a Patrick Mahomes freakout.

On the road once again ... Taylor traveled to New England to watch the Chiefs play the Patriots with her pops, Scott. The Chiefs got back to their winning ways in a 27-17 victory win over Bill Belichick's boys.

Merry Christmas, Taylor!!! Instead of roasting chestnuts on an open fire, Swift -- joined by one of the few people more popular than her, Santa Claus -- cheered on her man from the suite on Christmas Day against the Raiders. Another L for the red and gold.

Another holiday, another Swift appearance. On New Year's Eve, Taylor watched as K.C. beat Cincinnati -- taking home the AFC West title after coming back from 10 points down to win 25-17.

HEY TAYLOR!!!
Storyful

The dreaded Bills once again ... but this time, no late offsides call changed the game. Instead, the Chiefs won 27-24 after a field goal miss by Bills kicker Tyler Bass ... though most people are gonna remember a shirtless Jason Kelce.

And now, with the win today ... there's just one more game to go. Swift's got concerts in Japan coming up the week of the SB, so we don't know yet if she'll be there -- but, either way, it's been one magical season for the NFL and Taylor.

Taylor Swift Cheering on Chiefs in Baltimore ... Last Game of Season???

Update

2:04 PM PT -- Tons of memorable moments in the first half ... including one where the Ravens offense seemed to mock a T-Swift celebration from past games.

1:54 PM PT -- We've got eyes on Jason ... who's going with a two-layer approach, Hawaiian shirt over Chiefs T. Gonna be a little harder to free the nipple now, JK!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It's that time of the week again folks ... Taylor Swift's ready to cheer on Travis Kelce and the Chiefs -- in what could be her last game of the season.

The pop star pulled up to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to take on the Ravens Sunday ... going with a more toned-down look than we've seen her sport in past weekends. She's got a bright red shirt on, but she's covered it with a long black coat.

Why exactly she's doing that ... looks like T-Swift's twinning with her better half -- who looked downright vicious in a matching coat and black beanie. In fact, his whole ensemble's black -- giving him the look of a real bad dude.

The Chiefs' X account's playing into the joke BTW ... captioning the vid "Knew he was a Killa first time that we saw him" -- tossing Trav's "Killa" nickname into a paraphrased version of Taylor's first line in "...Ready For It?"

At Swift's side ... her best gameday gal pal Brittany Mahomes who stuck with the toned-down colors theme in a black and white leather-looking coat with her hubby Patrick's number stitched into the lapel.

BTW ... Travis' big bro Jason -- whose shirtless celebration after TK's TD last weekend sparked national headlines -- and his wife Kylie are also reportedly going to the game. No sign of them yet though.

It's the biggest game of the season for K.C. The Chiefs are one win away from the Super Bowl -- with the best team in the AFC standing in the way ... worst of all, this may be the last time the team benefits from the "Taylor Magic."

Obviously, if they lose, no more Chiefs games this season for Swift ... but even if they win it might be hard for Taylor to make it to the Super Bowl. The big game's scheduled for Sunday, February 11 -- the same weekend that TayTay heads back on tour.

Swift's got shows February 7-10 in Tokyo ... we had the TMZ Math Department crunch the numbers, and that should leave Swift about 36 hours from the end of her show to fly from Tokyo to Vegas to see the game.

We know she's got her own private jet ... but damn that's a lot on her. Plus, we've already seen what happens when Swift's working on her own career -- she missed a couple of Kelce's games back in November when she was down in South America.

So, this may be the end of another Taylor Era ... or maybe not! Travis just made an incredible touchdown catch -- so those Super Bowl hopes are alive and well.

We may just have to see if Swift can make the commute work.
