The actor who went viral for his spot-on Rob Gronkowski portrayal on the new Aaron Hernandez drama is hoping to strike gold again with his upcoming role as Travis Kelce ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to win over the Swifties!!

Laith Wallschleger became an overnight sensation after his scenes as the legendary New England Patriots tight end premiered on "American Sports Story" ... with fans pointing to his perfect impression of Gronk's signature laugh.

As it turns out, Laith has had a while to study the subject ... 'cause he's actually been pretty tight with Gronk over the years -- even partying with the four-time Super Bowl champ on countless occasions.

Taylor Swift's final leg of her epic "Eras" tour is off and running after after a two-month hiatus -- and the Miami concert drew some major celebs.

Taylor swooped in to perform at the Hard Rock Stadium, with the likes of retired NFL star Tom Brady, tennis great Serena Williams and "Today" cohosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie all enjoying the show.

Just before the gig, Tom posted a photo with his 2 sons, Jack and Benjamin — and the happy trio was all smiles. Tom wrote in the caption, "Boys night at the Eras Tour."

Travis Kelce is insisting he's a Cleveland guy through and through, despite showing up to a Guardians vs. Yankees game with Taylor Swift in neutral clothes this week ... clapping back at fans who questioned his fandom with a fiery response.

Game 3 of the ALCS ended in dramatic fashion on Thursday ... a matchup that went back-and-forth in the final two innings before the Guards secured the win in the 10th with a David Fry two-run homer.

Kelce -- who is from Cleveland Heights -- shared his excitement over the shocking result ... saying, "Playoff baseball baby!!! @CleGuardians have the city absolutely ROCKIN TONIGHT!! What a game!"

Taylor Swift's influence can do wonders for a small business ... Fazit Beauty happily learned this is true after the singer wore their brand at an NFL game.

Co-founder Aliett Buttelman tells TMZ ... she was always determined to get the glitter freckles in front of the pop star following Fazit Beauty's launch back in May. Per Aliett, she felt the trend fit Taylor's vibe on the 'Eras' tour ... which sees the chart-topper in a number of glittery outfits.

In an effort to get the glitter freckles into Taylor's makeup bag, Aliett confessed to sending a PR package to the agency that represents the pop star's makeup artist. Though, Aliett isn't 100% certain if this is how they got on Taylor's radar ... citing a few viral TikToks and Instagram posts as other possibilities.

Travis Kelce is now on the backside of 30 having celebrated his 35th birthday Saturday, and Taylor Swift was MIA, but fear not Swifties ... this will all course correct Monday night.

Travis hit up his Kelce Car Jam spectacle in Kansas City, and he broke the news to the staff Taylor was not showing up.

As you know, there's this crazy buzz that when Taylor is not at every Travis game or event, there's trouble in paradise, but not the case. Travis said Taylor will be cheering him on Monday night when the Chiefs take on the Saints in K.C.

Travis Kelce's acting career has taken off this past year, but it's NOT the direct result of his relationship with Taylor Swift ... so says "Friday Night Lights" actor Sinqua Walls, who tells TMZ Sports he's gettin' gigs because he's a natural talent -- but being a 3-time NFL Super Bowl champ doesn't hurt, either!!

The 39-year-old actor -- also known for his leading role in the "White Men Can't Jump" remake -- broke it down for us this week ... shortly after he drove by a billboard for "Grotesquerie," a new horror TV series featuring Kelce.

"I think that what we've seen over the last few years of Travis is that he has a natural, innate charisma and personality," Walls said.

If Taylor Swift wants to draw up some plays for the Chiefs, so be it ... so says ex-NFL star Nate Burleson, who tells TMZ Sports the pop superstar being hands-on in Travis Kelce's career will only bring good results.

The All-Pro tight end recently confirmed his lady has fully immersed herself in football since they started dating ... and it's gotten to the point where she's been working on her Xs and Os and designing some Kelce-focused routes.

Burleson -- who now stars in front of the camera for CBS -- has no issue with the "Karma" crooner getting involved in her man's day job ... especially considering the Chiefs have continued their dominance amid her presence on gamedays.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce brought their love affair back to NYC Friday night, touching down for some Italian food in Brooklyn and causing quite a stir among the locals.

The pop superstar and her Kansas City Chiefs boyfriend sank their teeth into yummy pizza and/or doughy calzones – the only two food items on the menu -- at Lucali restaurant in the borough's leafy Carroll Gardens.

Check out the photos/videos ... the place was packed with people inside and out trying to catch a glimpse of the famous couple.

Travis Kelce didn't get the game ball after the Kansas City Chiefs won their season opener, he got something better ... a kiss from Taylor Swift.

In new photos from the postgame celebration Thursday night in K.C., Taylor is smooching Travis on the cheek.

Taylor and Travis are cheesing for the camera next to another Chiefs couple ... wide receiver Mecole Hardman and his fiancée, Chariah Gordon.

Travis Kelce wants everyone to know he's still just a regular guy at heart ... despite being a three-time Super Bowl champ, podcasting juggernaut, up-and-coming actor, and boyfriend to the biggest musician on the planet.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar opened up on just how awesome his life is during a sit-down with "Good Morning America" on Thursday ... and while he's becoming one of the most famous athletes around, he said he's not taking any of it for granted.

"I’m so fortunate, so grateful of everything that's come my way in life," the 34-year-old said.

Travis Kelce's officially at the Kentucky Derby ... arriving in a suit fit for a classic movie gangster -- but, he's without his very special someone.

The Chiefs tight end embodied every little bit of his nickname at the race Saturday ... cutting up the fashion game as only Killa Trav can. Just check out the pics flooding in from the KD -- a spectacular white suit and fedora Don Corleone could appreciate.

Despite his killa looks, Trav showed off his 'fit alone ... no Taylor Swift in sight -- and, we can only speculate as to the reasons why.

Travis Kelce está oficialmente en el Derby de Kentucky y llegó con un traje digno de un gánster de una película clásica, aunque anda sin su persona favorita.

El ala cerrada de los Chiefs encarnó cada pedacito de su apodo en la carrera del sábado, apareciendo con muchísimo estilo, solo como Trav puede hacerlo. No hay más que ver las fotos: el jugador usó un espectacular traje blanco y un sombrero de fieltro al más puro estilo de Don Corleone.

A pesar de lo guapo que se ve, Trav mostró su atuendo solo, sin Taylor Swift a la vista y solo podemos especular en cuanto a los motivos.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are back to jet-setting ... hitting the Las Vegas Strip for a fun night of drinks with their best couple pals, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Taylor, Travis, Patrick and Brittany pulled up to Easy's Cocktail Lounge inside the ARIA Resort & Casino.

While definitely an L.V. hot spot ... it's a bit more secluded, tucked away inside the Proper Eats Food Hall in the hotel -- where the celebrity quartet was less likely to be spotted.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están de vuelta en el jet, esta vez para volar hasta el Strip de Las Vegas y pasar una divertida noche de copas con su pareja favorita, ¡Patrick y Brittany Mahomes!

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Taylor, Travis, Patrick y Brittany llegaron a Easy's Cocktail Lounge dentro del ARIA Resort & Casino.

Aunque definitivamente este es un punto caliente en Las Vegas, es un poco más aislado que otros, escondido al interior del Proper Eats Food Hall del hotel, donde era menos probable que el cuarteto fuera visto.

Taylor Swift can't hide she's totally smitten with BF Travis Kelce in her new YouTube promotional clip for her first music video, "Fortnight," off her recently released 11th album.

The pop superstar's short, but sweet YT montage shows various parts of her personal life as the "Fortnight" track plays in the background with Travis appearing almost instantly.

The clip begins with Taylor rocking out in the studio, then cuts to Travis giving her a smooch as she cooks in the kitchen.
