Travis Kelce Floored By Taylor's Lyric Change ... 'She Really Just Said That!!!'
Travis Kelce says he was downright floored when he heard Taylor Swift give him a shout-out with a lyric change last week ... admitting the now-viral moment in Buenos Aires "blew me away."
The NFL star went in-depth about his trip to Argentina to see his new girlfriend on this week's episode of "New Heights is presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment" ... saying that because it was all "public knowledge," he was down to spill some of the beans on how his bye week vacation went.
The Chiefs tight end told his brother, Jason, that he had a "whole bunch of fun" on the excursion ... revealing it was his first time ever heading south of the equator.

He said he and Swift -- plus her dad -- got dinner on Friday night following the postponement of Taylor's concert ... and they dined on "some good steak."
Then, he opened up about Saturday ... gushing to Jason about how "electric" it was to be in attendance for her show.
As for the big moment when Swift sang about him during her "Karma" performance ... he said he had some idea it was coming -- but that didn't change his emotions when "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me" reverberated through the stadium.
"Definitely when I heard it come out of her mouth, it still shocked me and blew me away," he said. "I was like, 'Oh, shhh! She really just said that! All right!'"
Kelce then apologized to Taylor's dad for missing a high-five he had tried to get during the calamity.
"Sorry, Mr. Swift!" he said with a laugh.
Kelce also said he convinced Taylor's dad to switch allegiances from the Eagles to the Chiefs -- something Jason, Philadelphia's star center, wasn't exactly pleased about.
Travis, of course, won't be able to attend another Swift show for a while -- Kansas City now has weekly games until at least the playoffs ... though give the pod a listen, it sure sounds like the two lovebirds have a bond strong enough to survive some long distance between now and the spring.

Donna Kelce Hits The Movie Theater ... Watching Taylor Swift's 'Eras' Tour Film!
Donna Kelce is givin' all her love and attention to Taylor Swift ... because Travis Kelce's mama was spotted watching the singer's "Eras" Tour film in theaters!
Swiftie Dannielle Sparks said in her TikTok it was her 4th time checking out the Taylor Swift concert movie -- a true fan -- but she spotted a familiar face while stepping out of a Florida movie theater.
Once the credits rolled, Dannielle says she bumped into Donna and was SHOCKED ... calling it one of the greatest moments of her freakin' life. The best part? She says no one even knew Donna was in the building during the screening.
After chatting it up with, according to Dannielle, the "sweetest human ever," she says she offered Donna a friendship bracelet, but she politely declined -- 'cause she's already got way too many!
As you know, Taylor and Travis were spotted smoochin' at her Argentina concert over the weekend ... and she changed the lyrics to her song, "Karma," just for the football star.
She ended up singing, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me," and Dannielle claims the fans in the theater used the new words during the screening -- apparently, singing it right in front of Donna!

Travis Kelce Adios, Argentina ... Dips After Kissing T-Swift at Concert
update
12:17 PM PT -- And just like that ... Travis Kelce is outta here.
The Chiefs tight end boarded a private jet Sunday to fly out of Argentina and presumably head back to the States. His team doesn't have a game until the 20th, but he's probably expected at practice and team meetings in the coming days.
No sign of Taylor here to send him off ... but ya gotta imagine they had a great night together after a huge PDA moment the day prior. Dude's got a pep in his step, for sure.
Don't cry for Taylor Swift in Argentina ... she had an amazing show Saturday night, after which she passionately made out with her man.
We've seen Travis Kelce and Taylor hold hands, wrap their arms around each other, etc, but this is the first big PDA moment. She races to Travis as she leaves the stage and they embrace and make out in a "get-a-room" type way!
As for why there seemed to be electric passion between the 2 ... well, Taylor changed the lyrics to "Karma" ... the OG version -- "Karma is the guy on the screen/Coming straight home to me." The updated version -- "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs/Coming straight home to me."
Travis is stoked when he hears the lyrics ... you see it in his face and he begins vibing to the song.
Taylor doesn't need it, but Travis sorta served as her hype man during the show ... getting the frenzied crowd into an even more intense frenzy.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
BTW ... Taylor's dad was at the show and gave his stamp of approval to the relationship by wearing a Chiefs' lanyard. It's a big deal 'cause he's an Eagles fan.
This is the first show Travis has attended since their relationship went public, although we knew for weeks before it was the real deal.

T&T have been making the rounds in Argentina the last few days ... they were holding hands Friday during a romantic dinner at the swanky Four Seasons in Buenos Aires.
Travis doesn't have a game this weekend so he was clear to fly to his girl. Long-distance relationships are tough, but private jets and other perks make it a lot easier for sure, so good luck you two!
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Taylor Swift teamed up with her NFL beau Travis Kelce for an intimate dinner in Argentina -- and the lovebirds couldn't stop holding hands, proving they have an ironclad relationship.

Check out the video ... after their meal, the two -- surrounded by security -- stroll across the room, passing by staff and patrons trying to catch a glimpse of the world's most famous couple. During the 20-second clip, Taylor and Travis are clearly gripping each other's hands as they make their way out the door.
Earlier in the day ... Travis hopped on a plane for a 13-hour flight to watch Taylor perform in Buenos Aires Friday night, but the show got canceled due to torrential rain.
Travis also missed Taylor's Thursday concert in the capital city because he attended a charity event thrown by his teammate, Patrick Mahomes, in Kansas City. At the gala, Travis was pictured standing at a table and clapping his hands, while appearing happy.
The question -- how much time will Travis spend on the road, given that Taylor will be performing the international portion of her Eras Tour for a long, long time.
Travis sure has a lot to smile about these days ... not only is he dating Taylor, but he's a 2023 Super Bowl champion.
Who's got it better than him right now?

Travis Kelce Arrives In Argentina ... Taylor Concert Postponed
update
11:54 AM PT -- Huge bummer for Tayvis -- the singer's second Buenos Aires date was just postponed 'til Sunday due to rain.
Unclear how long Travis Kelce was planning to stay in town ... but we take it he'll just tune in to Saturday's show.
Taylor Swift released a statement on the decision to push back the gig ... saying she loves to perform in uncooperative weather, but didn't want to put her fans in harm's way.
Guess this clears her schedule for a date night with Travis!!
Travis Kelce has touched down in Argentina -- the NFL superstar made his way to Buenos Aires in time to catch Taylor Swift's concert in just a few hours.
There were rumblings TK -- who's currently enjoying his off week from his football duties -- was planning to make the nearly 13-hour trip to South America to watch his lady rock the stage ... and now there is proof he is the ultimate supportive boyfriend, with Daily Mail snapping pics of the Super Bowl champ at the airport.
As we previously reported, the Chiefs tight end was spotted at Patrick Mahomes' charity event on Thursday ... electing to skip night one of T-Swift's international tour in order to be there for his bestie.
Taylor has attended four of Travis' games this season ... and now, it's his time to return the favor.
It's currently 3:15 PM local time ... so Travis has a few hours to relax before dancin' and singin' like crazy.
Of course, this won't be TK's first "Eras" tour experience -- he saw her live at Arrowhead Stadium back in July, and famously detailed how he wanted to shoot his shot, but never got the opportunity.
Fast forward to now ... and the two are the biggest couple in sports and entertainment.
Funny how life works.

Taylor Swift Jar Husband Charges Wife a Quarter Whenever She Talks Taylor, Travis!!!
A husband's going viral for putting a Taylor Swift tip jar in his house, and making his wife pay up for every mention of the pop star OR her boyfriend, Travis Kelce!
Maryland resident Dana Rice shared the clip of her hubby's new "invention," showing him clearly fed up with the Taylor/Travis chatter going on around their home these days ... prompting him to tape a sign with the new house rules on a tall glass.
It says, "Any mention of T. Swift and you owe $0.25" ... adding, "I can't take it anymore." And yes, there's a footnote reminding Dana the Kansas City Chiefs star is included in the deal.
Dana says she became a Swiftie when Taylor launched her "Eras" tour back in March ... and now fellow fans are coming to her defense in the comments -- one jokingly wrote, "25 cents is a small price to pay to spread the gospel."
Dana slips up pretty early, BTW ... saying they both were recently on 'SNL' -- referring to their brief cameos last month on the show's season premiere. As you know, that's when the entire country was goin' nuts over their relationship.
As we reported, the duo was spotted holding hands in NYC before their brief appearances on 'SNL' ... and they also hit up the show's after-party together.
It's clear Dana's husband started his Tay-Tay tip system almost a month ago, so they're probably on to a second jar by now!

Taylor Swift One Of The WAGs!!! Hosts Chiefs Watch Party At NYC Apartment
Travis Kelce and the Chiefs were playing across the pond, but Taylor Swift and her fellow Kansas City wives and girlfriends still showed support for their men on Sunday ... with a group of ladies making their way to the singer's NYC apartment to tune in to the game!!
Former Chiefs backup quarterback Shane Buechele's wife, Paige, and tight end Blake Bell's partner, Lyndsay, were all smiles after K.C. pulled off the 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins in Germany ... exiting Taylor's TriBeCa pad following the matchup.
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes' good pal Miranda Hogue -- whose hubby, Summitt, played alongside the two-time Super Bowl champ at Texas Tech -- was also present for the watch party.
We're told the fun didn't stop after the final whistle ... as Swift, Brittany and the crew took the hang over to Casa Cipriani (one of Taylor's favorite spots), where they celebrated the victory for hours.
Of course, Brittany has been spending a ton of time with Swift recently -- as we previously reported, they all went out in the Big Apple together the night prior ... enlisting Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne for the occasion.
Brittany also spent some time with the WAGs on Saturday ... sharing some snaps from their quick East Coast trip on social media.
Swift has had no issue fitting in with Chiefs Kingdom ... and coincidentally, Kelce plays much better when she's at his games.
Fans are probably hoping she'll return soon, as Kelce only had three receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's win.

Travis Kelce Are You In Love With Taylor Swift?!? ... Press Conference In Germany Gets Awkward
Travis Kelce didn't seem to be too keen on answering questions about Taylor Swift while out in Germany on Friday ... especially when the inquires turned to whether or not he was "in love" with his new girlfriend.
Kelce sat down with media members out in Frankfurt to preview the Chiefs' Sunday international game against the Dolphins ... when suddenly, one reporter began prodding the tight end about his latest romantic partner.
First, the journalist wanted a relationship update ... which Kelce kind of gave.
"The latest status is I got to see her last week," he said with a smile. "That's the latest status right there."
Then, the questioner asked straight up, "Are you in love?"
Kelce, however, dodged the question like it was a linebacker in the middle of a football field.
"I'm going to keep my personal relationship personal," he said.
The Swift questions didn't end there, though ... because just before Kelce got off the podium, one reporter wanted to know if Swift would be in attendance for the big game against Miami at Deutsche Bank Park.
But, as he did with the previous questions, Kelce sidestepped the inquiry as well.
Of course, we shoulda seen this one coming ... after all, Kelce promised a few weeks ago he was going to keep his relationship with Taylor a little more under wraps -- and while he's bent the rules here and there, it seems he's done now.
Sorry, Swifties.

Travis Kelce Fam Thinks T-Swift Frenzy Is ... A Lot!!!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship remains the apple of the media's collective eye -- and after more than a month of the spotlight, it's starting to take a toll on his loved ones.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the frenzy in the press over TayTay and Travis has become incredibly overwhelming for his immediate family members -- including his mom, Donna, his dad, Ed, and even his fellow NFLer and older brother, Jason.
We're told all the attention the couple's getting isn't the fam's favorite thing in the world -- seeing how it ends up spilling over on them -- but, by the same token, they're happy Travis is happy ... so they're dealing.
Our sources tell us the whole family's been under a microscope since the initial dating rumblings way back in September ... and they've all been getting blown up nonstop on their personal phones and on social media since Trav and Tay went public as a couple.
One other interesting tidbit relayed to us ... Travis's flesh and blood are a bit startled by Swifties and their intense, to put it mildly, love for her. We're told their fierce passion actually makes them a little worried for her BF's safety -- even with him being a 6'5", 250 lb. NFL superstar.
All that being said, the Kelces keep smiling for cameras -- they're fully aware how many are on them, especially when they interact with Taylor face-to-face.
Fortunately for them, there might be a break in the near future, as Taylor's about to go back on tour again, and this time she'll be overseas. Of course, he'll be here playing football ... probably into February, as his Chiefs remain a favorite to reach the Super Bowl.
However, some reports suggest Trav might actually join her for some of those international dates in 2024 -- after his season's done -- so, we'll see if there's a breather for the Kelces or not.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Skeleton Homages Pop Up ... Takin' Over Halloween
Looks like Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce are dominating the Halloween game this season, much to the surprise of no one ... appearing as skeletons on front lawns everywhere.
The spooky version of the couple has been popping up across the country, as made apparent from the viral vids online ... one shows Travis and a whole lotta versions of Taylor in her Halloween Era -- paying homage to the singer's multiple looks in her "Eras" tour concerts.
One fan also had a bunch of different Taylors out front, with a skeleton Travis cheering them on in a folding chair on the sidelines.
They're all pretty creative, TBH ... one display was done up to look just like a private concert -- with the decorator even taking over the local airwaves, so anyone that drives by can listen along with the undead crowd!
As you know, Taylor and Travis are the talk of the town right now, with their romance in full swing ... so the pop-ups don't seem that far outta left field. Folks have even been dressing up as the iconic duo over Halloweekend, as expected.
Don't forget, a couple of huge skeletons were set up outside Michal Owens' home in Indiana earlier this month ... but what followed were a bunch of Swifties lookin' to get in on the fun, too!

Sources close to Taylor and Brittany tell TMZ ... they swapped digits the first time Taylor went to a Kansas City Chiefs game to cheer on Travis Kelce, back on Sept. 24, and they've kept in touch ever since -- texting each other even when it's not gameday.

We're told Taylor and Brittany don't only see each other at Chiefs games ... and all their fun times NFL fans see on camera aren't just for show, as some folks are speculating.
Case in point ... Taylor and Brittany took shots together at Travis' after-party for the first game TS attended, as the WAGs were hanging out at the shindig.
From there, they progressed to hugs and dances in the players' family stadium suites ... and then this past Sunday, Taylor and Brittany debuted their new handshake to much fanfare.
Travis and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have a strong connection on and off the field ... and the same can be said for Taylor and Brittany.
No word if Patrick's bro Jackson Mahomes has Taylor's digits too, but he did find his way into their secret handshake.

Travis Kelce Caught Singing, Dancing to T-Swift At TX World Series Outing
Travis Kelce has Taylor Swift on the brain whether he's with her or not -- 'cause the dude's out here singing her songs in public ... even though she's nowhere to be seen herself.
The Chiefs tight end was out in Arlington, TX Friday -- where he swung by Globe Life Field to catch Game 1 of the World Series between the Rangers and the D-backs ... and where he ended up getting caught on camera indulging in his girlfriends catchy tunes.

First, fans noticed TK crooning and dancing along to 'Shake It Off' ... which was played during the game. Travis' bouncing around was actually shown on the jumbotron, and he didn't shy away from lip-syncing -- bobbing his head and getting a little hand action in too.
Later in the evening ... there was another opportunity to belt out some TayTay, and he did.
Check it out for yourself -- the dude was singing his heart out to one of her most well-known songs, 'Love Story,' and he was even seemingly recording himself while doing it. That, or he was on the phone with someone ... possibly even Taylor. 👀
In any case ... the timing of this great for a couple reasons. For one, it shows that he's all in on Taylor and supports her even when she ain't looking. Of course, the bigger deal here is the fact that Taylor just re-released her '1989' album ... and needs all the pub she can get.
Looks like Travis is solid boyfriend material in both capacities -- and funny enough, he's got a similar cheering style as she does when up in the stands.
It's a match made in heaven, y'all.

Taylor Swift Won't Watch Travis Kelce in Person This Weekend It's Tour Time, Baby!!!

Exclusive

Taylor Swift has been a fixture at a bunch of Travis Kelce's games this season, but that's not gonna happen this weekend ... cuz her multibillion-dollar tour is about to start back up.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Taylor won't be making the trip to Denver Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs take on Russell Wilson and the Broncos because she's gotta get back into tour mode.
Taylor's first show back from hiatus is slated for November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina -- so you gotta imagine there will be some serious rehearsals and meetings before then.
Taylor's been on a 3-month break from her 'Eras' tour -- closing out the first leg of U.S. shows with 6 nights at SoFi Stadium back in August -- but she'll now be touring off and on for the next year internationally with dates in Brazil, Japan, Sweden, Australia, Canada, France, Italy and a whole bunch more.
As we reported, she's also just hit billionaire status -- Forbes says she's worth $1.1 billion thanks to the "Eras" tour -- and credits her for being one of the only artists to hit the milestone solely off touring and recording sales.
Of course, she's likely made the NFL a bunch of money this season in new viewership and jersey sales ... attending a bunch of her boyfriend Travis' games and cheering him on from a private suite with friends from Sophie Turner to Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany.
If things keep up between Travis and Taylor, you might expect her to buy her own suite for next season ... she's certainly got the money handy.

Travis Kelce 'Doing Something Right' With Taylor ... After Andy Reid's Blessing
Travis Kelce knows he's doing the right thing in dating Taylor Swift ... and it's all thanks to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid giving his stamp of approval on the relationship.
Big Red gave a glowing review of the pop superstar following the Chiefs' big win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday ... saying "Taylor can stay around all she wants" as Kelce continues to ball out every time she attends his games.
Travis addressed Reid's comments on his "New Heights" podcast with his brother Jason on Wednesday ... saying the coach's endorsement is a good sign.
"I love Coach Reid, man," Taylor's boo said. "What a guy. Listen, when you’re getting Big Red’s approval and blessings, you know you’re doing something right."
Of course, Jason noted Travis' stats see a huge spike whenever T. Swift comes around ... saying he averages nearly 100 yards a game when she's present, and just 46.5 when she skips.
Kelce laughed it all off ... saying there's no way he couldn't know about Taylor's impact on his game -- considering everyone's talking about it on social media.
Fantasy owners with Kelce on their teams have gotta hope this romance continues ... 'cause the guy has been putting up points this season!!

Jason Kelce On Travis, Taylor Swift ... My Bro's 'Excited,' 'Genuine' About Relationship
Jason Kelce clearly thinks Travis Kelce is getting smitten with Taylor Swift ... saying Sunday night his brother sure seems "excited" and "genuine" about the relationship.
The Eagles star told Peter King following the Eagles' win over the Dolphins in Philadelphia, however, that he is at least a little concerned about the level of attention the two new lovebirds are getting.
"On one hand, I'm happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he's excited about, that he is genuine about," Jason said. "But there's another end of it where it's like, 'Man, this is a lot.'"
Jason -- who added that he's "really, really happy" for his brother's "current situation" -- appeared to be particularly worried about the paps who have been following the duo's every move since they went public with their relationship in Kansas City last month.

"There's paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I'm like, 'Is that really necessary information to share?'" Jason said. "This is another level of stardom that typically football players don't deal with."
Jason, though, seemed to believe his brother could handle it all ... as long as the safety of his friends and family isn't threatened.
As for Travis, it doesn't look like he has many concerns about any of it ... he's been as open with Taylor as anyone, holding hands with her immediately after his game on Sunday, before warmly welcoming a kiss on the cheek from her later in the evening.

Taylor Swift Kisses Travis Kelce After Chiefs Win
Taylor Swift planted one on Travis Kelce this weekend -- the first time we've seen her pucker up to her boyfriend in public ... though it's still very PG-13.
The singer was photographed after the game Sunday next to her man, posing with Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. and his girlfriend, Chariah Gordon. In one of the shots, you can see TayTay kissing Travis on the cheek, with her hand on his chest.
Like we said, this marks the debut of any kind of affection at this level -- thus far, we've only seen them hold hands in public ... so, it would seem their PDA is growing by the day.
TBH, this is a side of Taylor we haven't really seen until now. Before getting with Travis, she's tended to be quite private and away from the spotlight as it relates to her significant others ... particularly while she was dating Joe Alwyn. They were practically in the shadows.
Now, however, Taylor seems to be embracing the public nature of this relationship ... and she's loving it. Not only have we seen her express herself at games full throttle, but even when it comes to stuff like this -- it doesn't seem like she and Trav are all that shy.
As for TK ... he, too, seems ready for all the scrutiny -- something that undoubtedly comes with the territory of what he does professionally. If anything, this attention is nothing new.
Gotta say, the more we see of these two ... the more it feels like they could have real legs as a couple. Their lives are certainly blending at a fast rate -- and the people are all about it.
Let's give 'em a big ol' AWWWWW. 😚
