Super Bowl

Taylor Swift's NFL critics have had bad blood over her presence on the football scene ... but Vegas is more than willing to let her dominate their Super Bowl festivities -- take a look!

As a tribute to the pop star tirelessly coming out to cheer on her boo Travis Kelce, a Vegas venue will be going ahead with a Taylor-themed event for the SB weekend -- serving up a cocktail inspired by her signature makeup look to cheers to the winning football team.

Chéri Rooftop, nestled under the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas, will be serving up the "Red Lip Classic" cocktail -- which, of course, also references the lyrics to her tune, "Style."

Combining Malibu, Baileys Strawberry Cream and Disaronno, the drink is price-tagged at $20 and will be available throughout Big Game week.

For those hoping for a bit of a T-Swift break ... there'll be plenty of other places to keep you entertained -- including Sin City hot spot HaSalon who's be hosting "The Big Game Soiree" for SB Sunday.

The venue will transform into a plush living room-style setting with TVs dotted throughout for you to kick back and watch the game in peace without having to deal with the crowds at the Allegiant Stadium -- while also chowing down on some fun game day staples.

Swiftie or not, the Super Bowl weekend is a chance for everyone to come together and celebrate -- though, it's been hard to ignore how much of an impact Taylor Swift has had on the game this year.

The music icon's been responsible for more people than ever tuning into the game thanks to her romance with Travis practically playing out on the field. So, it's only fair to celebrate the woman herself this weekend ... that's how these places feel about it anyway.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce estarán en Las Vegas este fin de semana, y con el amor en el aire y su romance viento en popa, un lugar está ofreciendo hacerlos marido y mujer, ¡gratis!

Con los visitantes acudiendo en masa a la Ciudad del Pecado para el Super Bowl este fin de semana, se podrán imaginar que no hay mejor momento para dar el "sí, quiero", y eso es exactamente lo que la capilla Little White Wedding Chapel tiene en mente y por eso ha decidido extenderle una invitación a Tay Tay y Travis Kelce.

El lugar de la boda le dice a TMZ que le están ofreciendo a Taylor y Travis un servicio matrimonial si tienen ganas de atar el nudo en algún momento este fin de semana, y sus puertas están abiertas para los negocios, a pesar de que cubrirán completamente el costo.

La capilla dice: "Taylor y Travis, ¡ya tienen suficiente, así que déjennos hacernos cargo! Taylor solo tiene que traer su afortunado y fabuloso vestido de los Grammy y nosotros nos encargamos del resto. Tenemos a nuestro florista a la espera para el ramo de tus sueños y nuestros ministros y Elvis están listos también. Lo que quieras, ¡¡nuestra capilla está preparada para atenderte!!".

Por cierto, su oferta no solo se extiende a T-Swift y Travis, en realidad se aplica a todos los jugadores de fútbol y parejas que se puedan encontrar en la ciudad en los próximos días.

Nos han dicho que Little White correrá con los gastos de cualquiera de los miembros de los equipos San Francisco 49ers y Kansas City Chiefs, incluidos los entrenadores: cualquiera de los afiliados tiene la oportunidad de casarse allí, ¡gratis!

Un cañón de confeti de cortesía se incorporará a la celebración para los miembros del equipo ganador. Hablando de anotar a lo grande dentro y fuera del campo. Ambos equipos del Super Bowl recibirían ramos de flores especialmente creados para la ocasión, lo que hará que sea un campo de juego parejo para todos.

La capilla también señala que aunque las bodas son tradicionalmente más protagónicas para la novia, quieren mostrar un poco de amor por los hombres del Super Bowl, porque el evento deportivo es una de las cosas más emocionantes e importantes que suceden en Las Vegas por estos días. Así que sí, ¡quieren mostrarles su amor!

También nos dicen que esperan que la oferta sirva como promoción añadida para el local y que los aficionados al fútbol también acudan a la capilla para casarse después del partido. Ahora, no esperen que les cubran la boda, eso es solo para las cabezas del Super Bowl.

Raiders pass rusher Janarius Robinson was arrested in Las Vegas on Tuesday morning -- right in the middle of the NFL's Super Bowl week.

Cops said in a statement the 25-year-old was booked on a charge of driving under the influence after he was stopped on The Strip at around 5:59 AM.

Further details surrounding the matter were not made immediately available.

Robinson initially began his career with the Vikings in 2021 after they selected him with a fourth-round pick ... but he was placed on injured reserve just before his rookie season began.

He spent time on Minnesota's and Philadelphia's practice squads in 2022 ... but he didn't see any regular-season action.

In 2023, he signed onto the Raiders' practice squad ... and in December, he was finally promoted to the active roster -- and he was able to flash some big potential in his limited snaps.

In six games -- two of which he started -- Robinson logged eight combined tackles and one sack ... leading many in Vegas' org to believe he could be a key player for the team next season.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will be in Vegas this weekend -- and with love in the air and their romance at an all-time high ... one venue's offering to make them man and wife for free!

With visitors flocking to Sin City for the Super Bowl this weekend, you'd figure there's no better time than Saturday/Sunday to say "I do" ... which is exactly what the Little White Wedding Chapel is thinking, and why they're extending an invite to Tay Tay and TK.

The wedding venue tells TMZ they're offering Taylor and Travis a comped marital service if they're feeling like tying the knot at some point this weekend ... and their doors are open for business, even though they'll completely cover the cost.

LWWC says, "Taylor and Travis – you two have enough on your plate so let us take care of you! Taylor just bring your lucky, and Fabulous Grammys gown and we can handle the rest! We have our florist on standby for the bouquet of your dreams, our ministers and Elvis are ready too. Whatever you want, our chapel is ready to take care of you!!

BTW, their offer here doesn't just extend to T-Swift and Travis -- it actually applies to all the football players and their significant others who might be in town in the next few days.

We're told Little White will cover the costs for any of the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs team members, including coaches -- anyone affiliated has the chance to get married there ... for free. From the aisle to the pitch ... that'll be one tight turnaround!

A complimentary confetti canon will be incorporated into the celebration for members of the winning team. Talk about scoring big on and off the field. Both SB teams will get specially created bouquets for the occasion, which will make it an even playing field for everyone.

LWWC also notes that while wedding days are traditionally all about the bride ... they wanna show some love to the SB men, 'cause the sporting event is one of the most exciting and important things happening in Vegas now. So yeah, they wanna show the dudes love!

They also tell us they hope the offer can serve as an added promo for the venue ... with football fans coming to the chapel to get married in a spur of the moment kinda deal after the game. Don't expect them to cover those weddings though -- just SB heads, y'all.

Not that the chapel really needs it ... with the likes of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears and Jason Alexander, and more celebs exchanging vows there -- with an Elvis impersonator as a witness, of course.

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."

The Kansas City Chiefs arrived in Las Vegas last night ... but before the team jet touched down in Sin City, star WR Rashee Rice got the cutest send-off from a bunch of his little neighbors!

The 23-year-old pass catcher documented his ride to the airport on Sunday -- just a week before the Super Bowl -- where 20-plus people, mainly kids, lined the street holding handmade signs.

“Let’s go Rashee #4”, one of the signs read ... while another said, “Good Luck Rashee”

Rice obviously appreciated the love, captioning the video with heart emojis.

The rookie WR will likely play a big factor in whether the Chiefs win or lose against the Niners ... despite it being his rookie season, outside of Kelce, RR's been their best receiver this year, especially in the second half, catching 79 balls for 938 yards and 7 touchdowns this regular season.

The 2nd round pick has carried his prolific play into the playoffs ... he had 130 yards against the Dolphins, and he scored a touchdown. The rook only trails Kelce in post-season receiving yards, topping all other Chiefs.

It might be the 49ers' and the Chiefs' year this season ... but in 2025, you can bet it'll be the Rams'!!!

... at least, that's according to YG, who tells TMZ Sports he's sure L.A. will be in the Super Bowl next season.

In fact, when we got the Compton rapper out at LAX this week -- he downright guaranteed it!!

"We'll be back in the Super Bowl next year, you know what I'm saying?" he said. "That's all I'm going to say!"

Of course, YG is biased ... he's been a huge Rams fan for years -- even joining in on in-game celebrations with Robert Woods and others in the past.

But, it might very well be possible ... after all, with a depleted roster this year, LA still nearly won a road playoff game against Detroit.

There's more ... YG also gave us his prediction for the outcome of Sunday's Super Bowl -- and he even doled out some advice to Travis Kelce for how the tight end should handle his love life heading into the matchup in Las Vegas.

Move over, Jason Kelce ... Shaquille O'Neal tells TMZ Sports he's hoping to score a seat right next to Taylor Swift at Super Bowl LVIII!!

The Big Diesel made his intentions known during a chat with us this week ahead of the Big Game ... saying straight up he wants a premium chair in Swift's suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas next Sunday.

"Hey, Taylor!" the NBA legend said with a smile. "Love you!"

Of course, there are plenty of people who are already vying for the spot. Jason obviously has some dibs -- his brother, Travis Kelce, is playing in the game after all -- as does Brittany Mahomes ... and anyone else from Swift's girl gang for that matter.

But it seems Shaq really wants in ... even saying he'll be rooting for Travis and Kansas City during the tilt!

There's more ... we also talked to the former Lakers center about his annual Super Bowl party, Shaq's Fun House, and he said in addition to Diplo and Lil Wayne, he's expecting even more artists -- perhaps even Snoop Dogg -- to show up.

Brock Purdy has always flown under the radar -- whether as a lightly recruited high school player or a college QB just hoping to get drafted -- the 49ers signal-caller has been overlooked, according to his H.S. coach ... though the collective football world shows signs they're starting to wise up!

"[The recruiters] don't know how to evaluate talent," former Perry High School head coach Preston Jones, wearer of a killer 'stache, told TMZ Sports this week.

"They don't know what's good and they look at all these things about height and speed. They don't look at winners and they don't look at all these things that [Purdy] is."

Before last season's unexpected turn of events (Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo going down), Purdy was just a 3-star prospect in the 2018 recruiting class  ... and outside of Iowa State, he didn't get much attention at all.

Brock chose ISU ... and went off for the Cyclones during his four seasons, throwing for 12,170 passing yards and 81 passing touchdowns. he also ran for a bunch of yards and TDs ... and he broke 32 school records!

Stud ... maybe even a first-round pick with those gaudy numbers, right?

Not so fast. Purdy wasn't taken in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd rounds ... no, he was the last pick -- selection 262 -- in the 7th and final round of the 2022 Draft ... colloquially known as "Mr. Irrelevant."

He's not so irrelevant anymore ... and Jones thinks a lot of coaches are likely kicking themselves for overlooking Brock.

"There's a lot of guys that missed on him and they're gonna regret this one day," Coach Jones said. "I like to laugh at those guys now."

At the end of the day, Jones is ecstatic it's all worked out for his former QB -- who he calls the greatest offensive player he's ever coached -- believing everything turned out the way it was supposed to.

"It was destiny, it was so cool that it worked that way and it's also kinda been his life's story. Coming out of high school, not getting recruited ... so it was kinda perfect," Jones said.

"It's a great chapter in his book that's not done yet."

And, with a win over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Brock's story may actually end up being a book ... and a movie.
