Kansas City Chiefs

Vegas has rolled out the red carpet for Super Bowl LVIII weekend ... capitalizing on the sporting event of the year with some exclusive swag.

Check it out ... the NFL Super Bowl Experience at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center is selling some funky gold sequined SB branded tops -- a must-have if you wanna stand out at those watch parties.

For those hoping to keep things low-key, there's also some casual clothing merch on sale ... and you can make a touchdown of your own by grabbing one of the footballs lining the walls.

Oh, and there are loads of toys on sale to keep those kiddos preoccupied while you enjoy the match.

Of course, excitement is high ahead of the game, with Vegas gearing up how they know best -- tons of Elvis Presley impersonators, bright lights, and massive SB billboards everywhere down the strip.

Preparation is also underway at Allegiant Stadium, where either the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs will reign supreme come Sunday.

Donna Kelce has apparently forgotten that her son is dating a known billionaire -- 'cause she's out here acting like she might not be in the luxury suite come game time.

Travis Kelce's mom did an interview on the 'Today' show Wednesday, and they were asking her where exactly she'd be sitting in the private luxury suite that Taylor and Co. will be in during the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas.

Hoda suggested DK oughta sit next to Taylor for good luck -- amounting to a pretty standard and easy softball question ... but instead of knocking it out the park, Donna muddied things up a bit.

Check it out ... she says that the suites referenced are actually quite expensive (indeed, they are) and that as far as he knows, she'll be in the bleachers cheering Travis on around a bunch of normies. You can tell the 'Today' crew wasn't buying it ... and nobody else is either.

Fact is ... Donna will almost certainly be among the select few in the private box -- just like she has been for several weeks this season -- and it goes without saying ... Taylor and Travis's camps can absolutely afford it, even if it is in the price range of millions.

Even though most everyone assumes this ... Donna is almost making it seem like she's not sure where she'll be sitting -- and on its face, it sorta makes Taylor and Travis look bad, which is bizarre. You'd think this issue would've been cleared up by now ... apparently not!

Remember, Christian McCaffrey's mom also recently suggested she wouldn't be in a private suite because of the astronomical price ... but her son's GF, Olivia Culpo, quickly clarified that her potential future mother-in-law was, in fact, gonna be sitting pretty in a box at the game.

Ya gotta imagine Taylor and Travis will do the same as well at some point. Yes, Mama Bear ... you're gonna have a great freakin' view, and you're 100% getting the VIP treatment.

The winner of Super Bowl LVIII could grab the Lombardi Trophy AND a whole lot of booty ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned a Nevada brothel is offering the Big Game's winner a "sextravaganza" -- free of charge!

Two workers at the famed Chicken Ranch brothel, Alice Little and Addison Gray, tell us bookings for their services have skyrocketed this week due to Las Vegas' Super Bowl festivities ... and in order to thank the NFL for it all, they've come up with an offer that the Niners or Chiefs will be hard-pressed to turn down if they win on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.

The two say whoever gets the dub will have access to a "no-holds-barred orgiastic blowout" at the establishment's 40-acre campus.

The package, the two say, includes a free limo service, access to the bar, swimming pool, VIP Bungalows ... and sex specialty areas. They added that "nothing is off limits" ... explaining that anything the winners desire is 100 percent on the house.

"It's only right that we play our part and express our sincere appreciation to this year’s champions for their invaluable contribution to our industry," Gray said.

The brothel is also extending the invite to the players' WAGs ... with Grey telling us there's no need for the significant others to be left out.

"If any player would like to invite his wife or girlfriend, many of our ladies specialize in threesomes, orgies and swinger sessions," Gray said. "All guests, male and female, are welcome to participate."

The two tell us sex is not mandatory for the special deal ... saying the winning team can just pull up to party away from the Vegas chaos if they choose.

"We're going to treat the Big Game winners like the gridiron gods they are," Little said.

Taylor Swift tribute artist and "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant Jade Jolie is calling all Swifties ... for a meet and greet and Swiftie look-alike contest ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

Jade is hosting the contest at the Cat's Meow in Downtown Vegas the day before Taylor's beau Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

There are 3 prizes for Swifties who can pull off Taylor's iconic look -- first place gets a Cat's Meow Party Package valued at $1,500 ... it's 4 hours of karaoke and a premium open bar for up to 20 people.

Second place gets $500 toward a bar tab and third place wins free admission for life to the Cat's Meow ... a famous karaoke joint on Fremont Street.

Jade, a damn good Taylor look-alike, will also host a meet-and-greet with fans.

The event is going down Saturday night from 9 PM to 1 AM ... which should be around the time Taylor is potentially touching down in Vegas after wrapping up her concert in Japan, hopping on her jet and zooming east to catch Travis and the Chiefs play.

Taylor and Jade have crossed paths in the past ... Jade was in her music video for 'You Need To Calm Down' and attended the 2019 VMA's with Tay. It doesn't sound like Taylor's gonna be on hand for this event ... so we're gonna have to settle for a bunch of look-alikes.

Start making those friendship bracelets!!!

La artista tributo a Taylor Swift y concursante de "RuPaul's Drag Race" -Jade Jolie- está convocando a todos los Swifties para un encuentro y un concurso de imitación de Swiftie antes del Super Bowl LVIII.

Jade organiza el concurso en el bar de karaoke Cat's Meow en Las Vegas el día antes de que Travis Kelce y sus Kansas City Chiefs se enfrenten a los San Francisco 49ers en la Super Bowl.

Hay tres premios para los Swifties que puedan lucir el icónico look de Taylor. El primer puesto se lleva un Cat's Meow Party Package valorado en 1.500 dólares... son 4 horas de karaoke y barra libre premium para hasta 20 personas.

El segundo lugar recibe $500 hacia una cuenta de bar y el tercer lugar gana la entrada gratuita de por vida a Cat's Meow, un famoso bar de karaoke en la calle Fremont.

Jade es una excelente doble de Taylor que también será la anfitriona de un meet-and-greet con los fans.

El evento tendrá lugar el sábado por la noche de 21:00 PM a 01:00 AM, que será más o menos la hora en la que Taylor podría llegar a las Vegas luego de su concierto en Japón. A tiempo para subirse a su jet y partir a ver a Travis y los Chiefs jugar.

Taylor y Jade se han cruzado en el pasado, Jade estuvo en su video musical para "You Need To Calm Down" y asistió a los VMA 2019 con Tay. No parece que Taylor vaya a estar presente en este evento, así que tendremos que conformarnos con un montón de parecidos.

Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime performance on Sunday is so highly anticipated, it's bringing out the inner fan in several of his industry peers ... including Gayle King.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Gayle and OG human beatbox Doug E. Fresh as they were both leaving a Grammy shindig -- and both highlighted just how loaded Usher’s catalog is with hits.

In fact, they have 2 different tracks at the top of their wish lists.

Gayle didn’t have much of an opinion on the response to Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” but tells us her top pick for Usher’s SB is "Confessions" ... and even gave us a little of her vocal seasoning to let you know she’s serious!!!

Doug, on the other hand, is confident his pick -- “Yeah!” with Lil Jon and Ludacris -- is what the people want to see the most.

All signs point to Jon joining Usher on stage Sunday in Vegas, because he’s releasing a mediation album a few days later ...  most likely to capitalize on the Super Bowl buzz.

Luda’s been making his interview rounds as well, so seems highly like Doug's music request dreams will come true!!!

Doug and Gayle are also pining for the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, respectively, to snag the victory.

Rich people are gonna feast like it at the Super Bowl this weekend ... 'cause the luxury suite that comes with a $2.5 MILLION price tag will be fully stocked with the finest grub!!

Some lucky media members got an inside look at the expensive box that'll house 20 wealthy football fans when the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs face off at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Super Sunday ... and they certainly won't have empty stomachs by the end of the night.

The spread consists of some bomb-lookin' items ... from a surf-and-turf buffet with wagyu beef and lobster to carne asada fries, seafood stuffed potatoes, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, cheesecakes and your classic souvenir popcorn, according to reporter Luke Sawhook.

There will be plenty to drink, too ... with a full-service bar complete with bartenders.

For those less financially blessed, StubHub says the get-in price is currently $5,300 -- a bargain from last week -- and the average ticket is going for $8,800.

Kansas City Chiefs fans seem way more amped up for Super Bowl LVIII than their San Francisco 49ers counterparts ... at least in terms of interest in short-term rentals in Las Vegas.

The good folks over at Airbnb tell TMZ ... searches for rental listings in the Las Vegas region are up by more than 65% for the week of the Super Bowl, and most of the potential renters are flocking in from K.C.

Airbnb says Chiefs fans were in a frenzy looking up places to stay in Vegas after Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce beat the Baltimore Ravens to secure a spot on SB LVIII ... the day after the AFC and NFC Championship Games, total Airbnb searches were 3x higher from K.C. than SF.

The numbers make ya wonder if there's a Taylor Swift effect at play here ... the Chiefs are playing in the Super Bowl for the 4th time in the last 5 years, so it's nothing new to them and their fans, and Taylor's bringing in new fans and tons of extra interest.

No matter which team's fans are booking short-term rentals, Las Vegas looks like the big winner here ... Airbnb says the rental interest is bringing big economic potential to the region.

Los fans de los Kansas City Chiefs parecen estar más emocionados por el Super Bowl LVIII que sus pares de los San Francisco 49ers, al menos si comparamos su interés en arrendar algo en Las Vegas en el corto plazo.

La buena gente de Airbnb le dice a TMZ que las búsquedas de arriendos en Las Vegas se han incrementado en más de un 65% para la semana del Super Bowl, y la mayoría de los inquilinos potenciales provienen mayoritariamente de Kansas City.

Airbnb dice que los fans de los Chiefs estaban vueltos locos buscando lugares para alojarse en Las Vegas después de que Patrick Mahomes y Travis Kelce le ganaron a los Ravens de Baltimore para asegurar su lugar en el Super Bowl LVIII. El día después de la AFC y NFC Championship Games, el total de búsquedas en Airbnb fue 3 veces mayor de Kansas City que de San Francisco.

Los números nos hacen preguntarnos si no hay un efecto Taylor Swift aquí. Los Chiefs están jugando en el Super Bowl por cuarta vez en los últimos 5 años, por lo que no es nada nuevo para ellos y sus fans, pero Taylor está trayendo nuevos fans y muchísimo interés adicional.

No importa que los fans del equipo estén reservando alquileres a corto plazo, Las Vegas parece el gran ganador aquí. Airbnb dice que el interés por los arriendos está trayendo gran potencial económico para la región.

Grandes noticias, Swifties ... Travis Kelce dice que ha escuchado algo del nuevo álbum de Taylor Swift, y hasta ahora, "¡es increíble!"

La estrella de los Chiefs hizo la revelación mientras conversaba con los periodistas en la Noche de Apertura del Super Bowl en el Estadio Allegiant de Las Vegas el lunes. El jugador compartió con el mundo que se ha acercado tanto a su novia que la estrella del pop le permitió escuchar algunas de sus inéditas canciones.

Y Kelce dijo que le ha encantado lo que ha escuchado hasta ahora.

"No puedo esperar a que sacuda al mundo cuando finalmente salga", dijo.

Swift reveló en los Grammys, el pasado domingo en la noche, que su nuevo proyecto "The Tortured Poets Department" saldrá el 19 de abril. El lunes por la tarde, justo antes de que Kelce participara en la conferencia de prensa en la ciudad del pecado, Taylor dio a conocer los títulos de las canciones, volviendo locos a los fans en Internet.

Kelce no quiso decir mucho más sobre el nuevo trabajo de su novia. Solo añadió: "No puedo decirte nada, se lo dejo a ella", pero le hizo un montón de elogios a lo largo de su entrevista el lunes por la noche.

El jugador del Kansas City dijo que estaba orgulloso de ella por ganar sus Grammys 13 y 14, diciendo: "Ella está reescribiendo los libros de historia". Luego dijo que esperaba añadir otro Trofeo Lombardi para que coincida con sus nuevos honores.

"Le dije que tendría que mantener mi parte del trato y volver a casa con algo de hardware también", dijo.

Kelce no confirmó si Swift estará presente el domingo, aunque dijo que era la "fan número 1" de los Chiefs, lo que de alguna manera insinúa que haría el largo viaje desde Tokio para verlo.

Patrick Mahomes says his father is "doing good" following his DWI arrest ... but the Chiefs star didn't want to reveal much further about his dad's legal issues, explaining, "It's a family matter."

The quarterback opened up briefly about Patrick Mahomes Sr.'s situation while he was on the podium at Super Bowl Opening Night at Allegiant Stadium on Monday ... after he was asked twice about his pops' run-in with cops on Saturday in Texas.

He kept things short and sweet ... saying at first, "I don't really want to get into it too much, but he's doing good for whatever the situation is."

Then, he shut down the line of questioning ... adding in a follow-up, "It's a family matter. So I'll just keep it to the family. And, that's all I really have to say at this point."

As we reported, Mahomes Sr. was booked on a charge of driving while impaired over the weekend after authorities claimed he showed signs of being intoxicated during a routine traffic stop in Tyler.

Authorities wrote in police documents that Mahomes Sr. admitted to having "a few beers while watching a game at a local bar" before getting behind the wheel. They added he also had an open 16-ounce can of Coors in his center console.

It's Mahomes Sr.'s third DWI -- and if he's convicted this time, he's facing up to 10 years behind bars.

Great news, Swifties ... Travis Kelce says he's heard some of Taylor Swift's new album -- and so far, "it is unbelievable!!"

The Chiefs star made the revelation while chatting with reporters at Super Bowl Opening Night at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Monday ... sharing with the world that he's grown so close to his pop star girlfriend, she's actually allowed him to listen to some of her top-secret, unreleased tunes.

And, Kelce said he's been loving what he's been hearing up to this point.

"I can't wait for her to shake up the world when it finally drops," he said.

Swift revealed at the Grammys on Sunday night that her new project, "The Tortured Poets Department," will be dropping on April 19. On Monday afternoon -- just before Kelce took the podium in Sin City -- she unveiled the titles of the songs ... sending the internet into a frenzy.

Kelce didn't want to say much more about his GF's new work -- adding only "I can't give you anything; I leave that up to her" -- but he did heap a ton of praise on her throughout his Monday evening Q&A regardless.

The Kansas City tight end said he was proud of her for winning her 13th and 14th Grammys ... saying, "She's rewriting the history books herself." He then said he was hoping to add another Lombardi Trophy to match her new honors.

"I told her I'll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with some hardware too," he said.

Kelce did not confirm whether or not Swift would be in attendance Sunday ... though he called her the Chiefs' "No. 1 fan" -- implying that she'd somehow make the lengthy trek from Tokyo to watch him in action.

Bryant McKinnie says it'll be time to start putting some serious respect on Brock Purdy's name if the QB scores a victory on Sunday ... telling TMZ Sports he'll consider the signal-caller "elite" if he's able to beat Patrick Mahomes at Super Bowl LVIII.

McKinnie -- who won an SB of his own back in the 2012 season -- said he's been impressed with what Purdy's done so far in his first two years in the league ... and if he's able to showcase it one more time in Las Vegas, the former Ravens O-lineman says BP's detractors better get their flowers ready.

"At a certain point," the ex-left tackle said, "you have to start giving him respect and credit for what he's been doing."

"Winning a Super Bowl is definitely going to put him at a different level because a lot of quarterbacks haven't won one."

McKinnie said fans will simply have no choice but to slot Purdy in their top-10 rankings if he outduels Mahomes at Allegiant Stadium.

As for if the Chiefs star gets the dub over Purdy -- McKinnie said that'll put Mahomes in some seriously rare air ... telling us the 28-year-old will be "in conversations" for a spot on the NFL's Mt. Rushmore if he gets it all done.

There's more ... McKinnie also spoke with us about his former Baltimore team, and it's not hard to see he's a bit disappointed with how the Ravens bowed out of the playoffs.

He told us he wished Lamar Jackson had used his legs more in the AFC Championship game against K.C. ... saying straight up, "if he stayed true to his game, it would have been a different outcome."

Authorities claim Patrick Mahomes' father was driving around with an open can of beer in his car before he was arrested for DWI on Saturday night.

The allegation is spelled out in an arrest affidavit from the Smith County Sheriff’s Office ... according to the New York Post.

The outlet reported Monday that in the docs, an officer wrote Mahomes Sr. was found with an open, 16-ounce Coors beverage in his center console after he was pulled over around 8:30 PM in Tyler, Texas.

The officer added that Mahomes Sr. told them during the stop he "had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar" before he got behind the wheel.

Officials wrote in the docs they initially pulled over Mahomes Sr. after they discovered his car had expired tags after he was seen driving slower than the rest of traffic in the area.

The arresting officer alleged Mahomes Sr. failed field sobriety tests once they got him out of his vehicle ... writing in the docs, "I believed Patrick was impaired to a perceptible degree while operating a motor vehicle in a public place."

Mahomes Sr. was ultimately booked on a felony charge of driving while impaired. It's his third DWI -- and if he's convicted this time, he's facing up to 10 years behind bars.

Mahomes Sr. will, however, still be allowed to travel to watch his son play in the Super Bowl this weekend ... TMZ Sports has learned no travel ban was imposed on him as part of the conditions of his bond -- although it remains unclear if the Chiefs quarterback will now want him in attendance.

Taylor Swift podría tener una indirecta más para su ex novio -Joe Alwyn- es decir, si su nuevo álbum está relacionado con un club de chicos... y parece que es así.

Fans con ojos de águila se dieron cuenta de que el próximo proyecto de Tay Tay -que ella ha titulado "The Tortured Poets Department"- suena extrañamente similar a un grupo que Joe admitió una vez que había creado entre sus amigos en el mundo virtual, y Taylor podría estar troleándolo en su cara.

La razón por la que muchos están llegando a esa conclusión es que Joe contó este pequeño detalle hace un par de años durante una entrevista que le hizo Paul Mescal en un segmento de "Actors on Actors".

En la entrevista, Paul y Joe -que son amigos- revelaron que forman parte de un grupo de WhatsApp llamado "Tortured Man Club" (Club del Hombre Torturado)... donde, al parecer, comparten sus problemas con sus parejas. Se rieron de ello, señalando que ya no estaban tan torturados.

Esto fue durante una época en la que Paul y Joe estaban ambos en relaciones. Joe estaba obviamente todavía con Tay Tay a finales de 2022, y el propio Paul estaba saliendo con la cantante Phoebe Bridgers.

Por supuesto, el nombre de su club es una broma y suena inquietantemente similar al título del nuevo álbum de Taylor. Hay que tener en cuenta que Paul rompió con Phoebe no mucho tiempo después de esta charla con Joe (por no hablar de Joe y Taylor rompiendo), aparentemente todo está conectado.

Curiosamente, Taylor y Phoebe son mejores amigas estos días, así que sí, es una indirecta.

Mientras que sus fans se deleitan con esta nueva amistad, básicamente se viene otro álbum post-ruptura con Taylor quemando a su ex. Algunos están levantando una ceja si esta es de hecho la ruta que está siguiendo, porque ella está metida hasta las rodillas en una relación con Travis Kelce.

El hecho es que si Taylor va a utilizar un álbum entero (o una buena parte de él) para destrozar a Joe y airear sus sentimientos acerca de su ruptura -lo cual la mayoría de la gente está asumiendo- entonces hace que te preguntes... ¿cómo se sentirá Kelce al respecto?

No es el tipo de persona que se muerde la lengua, y tienes que imaginar que si le molestara, lo haría saber. Su álbum saldrá en unos dos meses, así que ya veremos que es lo que pasa.

Por cierto, recientemente nos encontramos con  la estrella de "Million Dollar Matchmaker" -Patti Stanger- y nos dieron sus impresiones acerca de Taylor y Travis, y si ella piensa que van a continuar juntos.

Resulta que Patti cree que van a terminar casándose, y compartió algunas especulaciones de como debe ser la vida sexual de la pareja. Según ella, ¡tienen muy buen sexo!

Una cosa más Swifties... tenemos un nuevo pódcast que sale esta semana en el que tocaremos todas las cosas relacionadas a Taylor Swift, que se llama "TMZ Swift-Tea" y vamos a estar hablando todo sobre Tay Tay... TODO, lo bueno o malo.

Taylor Swift might have one more dig for her ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn -- that is, if her new album is in any tied to a boy's club he admitted to have created ... and it sure seems to be.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Tay Tay's forthcoming project -- which she's titled "The Tortured Poets Department" -- sounds eerily similar to a group that Joe once admitted he'd created among his buddies in the virtual world ... and on its face, Taylor might be trolling it.

The reason many are jumping to that conclusion -- Joe spilled this little detail a couple years ago during an interview he did with Paul Mescal on an 'Actors on Actors' segment.

In the sit-down, Paul and Joe -- who are friends, BTW -- reveal they're part of a WhatsApp group called the 'Tortured Man Club' ... where they apparently share their woes about their significant others. They had a good laugh about it, noting they weren't so tortured anymore.

This was during a time when Paul and Joe were both in relationships -- Joe was obviously still with Tay Tay in late 2022, and PM himself was dating singer Phoebe Bridgers.

Of course, the name of their joke-y club sounds eerily similar to Taylor's new album title ... almost to a T. And considering that Paul broke up with Phoebe not too long after this chat with Joe (not to mention Joe and Taylor hitting Splitsville) ... it's all seemingly connected.

Funny enough, Taylor and Phoebe are low-key BFFs these days ... so yeah, it's a dig.

While her fans are reveling in this perceived connection -- basically, it's yet another post-breakup album with Taylor torching her ex -- some are raising an eyebrow if this is in fact the route she's pursuing ... 'cause she's knee-deep in a relationship with Travis Kelce.

Fact is ... if Taylor's gonna use a whole album (or a good portion of it) to trash Joe/air out her feelings about their breakup -- which most people assume is the case at this point -- then it makes ya wonder ... how does TK feel about that???

He's not the type to hold his tongue -- and you gotta imagine if he's bothered by it, he'd let it be known. Her album is coming out in about 2 months ... so we'll see, we suppose.

BTW, we recently ran into "Million Dollar Matchmaker" star Patti Stanger ... and we got her thoughts about Taylor and Travis, generally, and whether she thinks they'll go the distance.

As it turns out ... PS does think they'll get hitched eventually, and had some other interesting insights -- including what their sexual chemistry might be like between the sheets. According to her, they have great sex!

One more thing we'll leave you with regarding TS -- we actually have a new podcast coming out this week that touches on all things T-Swift ... it's called "TMZ Swift-Tea" and we're going to be talking all about Tay Tay and everything that comes with her ... good or bad.
