(01:03):
stay right here as we break itall down. Taylor Swift Grammy Award winner
and songstress extraordinaire has cast her spellover yet another member of Chief's Kingdom.
Defensive backs coach Dave Merritt simply couldnot contain his elation over the positive effect
he believes Travis Kelsey's glamorous girlfriend hadon the star tight end and the entire
(01:29):
Kansas City team. She actually affectedthe team in a positive way, he
gushed in a recent interview. Lessthan two weeks after their glorious twenty twenty
four Super Bowl victory. Dave noticeda change in Travis since he began dating
Taylor last summer. Travis came inthere a different man. So she helped
(01:49):
us. My goodness, you won'tbelieve this, but Dave even jokingly credited
Taylor for the win. She wona super Bowl in her first year in
the in the NFL. How aboutthat, he quipped. And it wasn't
just Travis who benefited from Taylor's presence. She charmed the entire team with her
thoughtful home made treats. Head coachAndy Reid revealed with a chuckle that she
(02:15):
even baked pop tarts for the offensivelineman. It was over, he said,
She knew right where to go.It just warms my heart to see
Taylor embracing the Kansas City family andcommunity, and I have a feeling this
won't be the last we hear aboutthe magical effect Taylor Swift had on the
(02:35):
twenty twenty four Super Bowl Champs.Wide receiver Micole Hardman Junior recently shared a
fun interaction he had with pop starTaylor Swift after the Kansas City Chief's Super
Bowl victory. According to Hardman,Swift approached him on the field following his
game winning touchdown catch and congratulated him, saying, good job, pro you
(03:00):
good game. She then made areference to some magic card tricks Hardman had
shown her at a team party earlierin the season hosted by her boyfriend Travis
Kelcey. Every time she sees me, she talks about it, Hardman said.
So then she was like, man, you and these cards your hands
(03:21):
are magical something like that, likeyou catch the game winning touchdown. Hardman
appreciated Swift acknowledging his skills both onthe field and off. That was kind
of cool, her saying that.He remarked. Swift has been spotted at
many Chiefs games this past season cheeringon Kelsey since the two began dating publicly
(03:45):
last fall, and while Hardman admittedfeeling star struck by the Grammy winner at
times, he said Swift fits rightin. Taylor's so cool bro. She
just vibes, Hardman stated, comparinginteracting with her to being around any other
player's girlfriend or wife. Still,he confessed that afterward he'd thinked to himself,
(04:06):
Damn, that's like Taylor Swift.Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift have faced
ongoing criticism from PETA and animal rightsgroups over their recent date to the Sydney
Zoo. However, actress and PETAsupporter Jennifer Coolidge has given the couple a
bit of a pass, saying sheunderstands Pete's issue but doesn't think Kelsey and
(04:30):
Swift meant any harm. According toCoolidge, she sees the zoo outing as
simply a high profile couple trying tohave a nice time together. I understood
why PETA was mad, but Ididn't think Travis and Taylor's date was malicious,
she commented to me. It lookedlike a public couple going on what
they considered a romantic date. Kelseyflew from Las Vegas to Hawaii to Sydney
(04:55):
last week in order to meet upwith Swift, who was touring Australia.
Video footage shows the two walking throughvarious Sydney Zoo exhibits hand in hand.
This isn't Kelsey's first brush with controversyregarding formal events and protocol. Last year,
he had to be escorted away fromthe press podium at the White House
(05:17):
by Patrick Mahomes after wandering up andpretending to make remarks following the Chief's Championship
visit. Still, despite the minorscandals, Kelsey is likely headed back to
the White House soon given the Chief'srecent Super Bowl win. Whether or not
he causes another stir at the presidentialpodium remains to be seen. If you
(05:41):
tuned in for your usual midweek doseof Kelsey brother fun on the New Heights
podcast today, you may have felta little lost when there was no new
episode, But not to worry.The Kelsey boys have just been catching their
breath after a whirlwind couple of weeks. I mean, can you them with
travisof celebrating his Chief's latest Super Bowlvictory and then jetting to Australia to visit
(06:05):
sweet Taylor Swift on her tour andJason soaking in all the festivities in Las
Vegas. Well, these two havebeen busy bees, So the brothers decided
to take a very well deserved breakthis week before getting back to their usual
podcast antics. And who knows,maybe next week Travis will have some backstage
(06:28):
Taylor Swift scoop to share. Eitherway, I'm just happy these two talented
guys are taking some time for selfcare. They'll be back better than ever
soon, and you know, aKelsey podcast is always worth the wait.
We could all use a little moreKelsey joy in our lives. Travis and
Jason Kelcey simply could not contain theirlaughter when Kansas City Chiefs player Chris Jones
(06:53):
recalled his cringe worthy experience at theNFL combine years back. It all stemmed
from us wanting to stand out fashionwise from the other players. But let's
just say his bold wardrobe choice completelybackfired. I was so big on being
different. Everybody was wearing the longtights. I was like, I'm not
(07:14):
copying them, I'm wearing short tights, Chris explained on their podcast. I
didn't realize they were actually boxers,and well, you can imagine what happened
next. As Travis summarized while chuckling, Chris's private parts accidentally made a surprise
appearance mid workout. My deep fellout, Chris confirmed, bluntly, unable
(07:35):
to believe it himself, that's exactlywhat I said. The Kelsey brothers erupted
into herdy goufaws no doubt envisioning thecomedy of errors, and now with the
NFL combine starting up again, theyclearly couldn't resist reposting Chris's cautionary tale of
athletic fashion gone wrong. Here's hopingthis year's participants choose their workout attire wisely
(08:03):
and avoid any embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions.But either way, you know the Kelsey
boys will find the humor in it. Bless their hearts. Kylie Kelsey,
wife of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelsey, got very real about her feelings on
being labeled a wag meaning wives andgirlfriends of athletes on her brother in law,
(08:26):
Travis Kelsey's podcast. When asked howshe felt about the term, Kylie
didn't mince words. I don't likeit, and she went on to explain
why that label bothers her so much. There's a stereotype that wags are all
about designers and are with their athletepartners for the wrong reasons, she said,
honestly, that's the part that deeplybothers me. Oh, as if
(08:52):
we needed more proof that Jason andKylie are the real deal. After meeting
on Tinder back in twenty fifteen,after Jason's embarrassing first date blunder where he
fell asleep at the bar, Kyliegave him another chance, and I'm so
glad she did. The adorable couplenow has three precious daughters, and you
(09:13):
can tell Kylie loves Jason for him. She doesn't fit the typical wag image
falsely portrayed in media. In fact, despite Jason joking she'd love gifts like
the Louis Vaton bag their teammate JalenHurts gave him, Kylie is her own
woman. She even left her hubbybehind recently to attend a fab fashion show
(09:37):
in Milan. You go, Kylie, keep breaking those unfair stereotypes and keep
giving us relationship goals with your sweetJason. This wag label doesn't fit a
loving, down to earth mama doubtedwhether the couple's relationship could survive real life
stresses like marriage and kids. Well. When mister edkins Helse caught wind of
(10:01):
Bethany's remarks, he took to Facebookasking incredulously, who TF is this troll?
Ha you tell her? Ed,He certainly won't stand for anyone trash
talking his son and possible future daughterin law, especially not some loud mouth
former reality star trying to stir updrama. In fact, Ed has nothing
(10:22):
but praise for the down to earthTaylor, even sharing how kindly she helped
clean up trash in their stadium.Sweet ones. So Bethany can flap her
gums all she wants. She clearlyjust wants attention. Meanwhile, Travis is
taking the petty comments in stride,continuing to celebrate his Super Bowl victory in
(10:43):
Las Vegas with Taylor cheering him onin spirit from afar, these two are
still going strong peacocks or not.Here's to Ed Kelsey for having his kid's
backs when the trolls creep in.With a protective Papa bear like that,
I think Travis and Taylor will bejust fine no matter what nonsense comes their
(11:05):
way. In a now Signature AwardsShow move, Taylor Swift nonchalantly unveiled her
eleventh studio album mid Best Pop VocalGrammy acceptance speech, the ominously titled The
Tortured Poet's Department, arriving April nineteenth. I want to say thank you to
the fans by telling you a secretthat I've been keeping from you for the
(11:28):
last two years, a grinning SwiftTeasthecrypto dot Com Arena audience Sunday night,
before spilling the beans on the projectshe's been crafting in secrecy since early twenty
twenty two. The album's stark blackand white cover followed on Instagram, featuring
Swift sprawled seductively in lingerie from therow, her face concealed all's fair in
(11:54):
love and poetry. She captioned thepost. A scrawled note on tea t
tpd's stationary also teased lyrics my musesacquired like bruises, my talismans and charms
the tick tick tick of love bombsmy veins of pitch black ink. In
(12:15):
a serendipitous full circle moment, Swiftnabbed her record extending fourth Album of the
Year trophy later that evening for Midnights. But make no mistake Tortured Poets and
its uniquely eccentric track names now havethe Swifties full attention. Collaborators include Post
Malone on Fortnite and revered art poppriestess Florence Welch of Florence Plus the Machine,
(12:41):
paired fittingly with Swift on the EclecticFlorida. Welch previously described Swift as
the most magnetic person in the room, surrounded by people who are fascinated by
the idea of being near her.From but Daddy, I Love him and
fresh out the Slammer Closer the SmallestMan who Ever lived, Swift is clearly
(13:05):
embracing a new era of brutal honestyin her writing. The sixteen standard track
listing also includes the mysterious bonus cutThe Manuscript, Kansas City Chief's tight End,
and Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelcey, whoclaims insider access to snippets, recently
deemed the album unbelievable. Meanwhile,the title itself bears an uncanny resemblance to
(13:31):
the Tortured Man club group chat betweenSwift's actor ex Joe Alwyn and Paul mescal
during her Era's tour Tokyo opener,Swift revealed she's been crafting tortured poets for
around two years, continuing to writeduring her twenty twenty three US stadium run.
(13:52):
I've never had an album where Ineeded songwriting more than I needed it
on Tortured Poets, she recently confessedto a Melbourne crowd. Fans can also
expect alternate special editions The Bolter andThe Albatross over the coming months, with
track names ranging from but Daddy,I Love Him and Fresh out the Slammer
(14:13):
to the Smallest Man who Ever Lived. Swift is clearly pulling no poetic punches
come April nineteenth, the wait forher most raw and personal album yet will
finally conclude. When The Tortured Poet'sDepartment arrives April nineteenth. Prepare to witness
Taylor Swift at her most candid,haunted, loved up, broken hearted,
(14:37):
and creatively emboldened. The rebirth beginsnow, and that wraps up our breakdown
of everything we know so far aboutTailor Swift's mysterious upcoming album, The Tortured
Poet's Department. Thanks so much fortuning in to unravel the clues in secrets
surrounding Tailor's eleventh record. Taylor Swifthas been spotted cheering on her football star
(15:03):
bo Travis Kelcey at his Kansas CityChiefs games. And get this, even
Chiefs coach Andy Reid says Tay doesn'tmake it about her. She just wants
to support her man without being thecenter of attention. How refreshing. Coach
Reid said, Tay fits right inwith the Chief's wives like Brittany Mahomes.
(15:24):
She hangs in the box, hassome wine and cheers Travis on. And
when Andy met her, he couldtell she was down to earth and knew
how to handle herself. The funniestpart, Andy has known Taylor's family longer
than Travis. When she told Travis, he was like, oh no,
(15:45):
that's not what I wanted to hear. But Andy gave his stamp of approval.
He said they are good people,both of them. I'm happy that
they're happy. Aw could this powercouple be any cue? It just warms
my heart. Tay finally has agood one and I'm so thrilled for her.
(16:07):
Zac Efron just weighed in on thosecomparisons between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's
romance and his high school musical characterTroy Bolton's love story, and he is
all for it. When asked aboutthe parallels, Zephyrn gushed, Wow,
I didn't think about that. That'sreally cool. He gave a shout out
(16:27):
to all the HSM fans, seeingTravis as the jock and Taylor as the
artsy cheerleader type, just like Troyand Gabriella. And even though he hasn't
kept up with the chatter, Zachsaid he just loves seeing Travis and Taylor
so happy. In his words,they're two of the best people in the
world. How can you not bestoked? Um, excuse me while I
(16:52):
swoon. It really does seem likethese two are living out their own musical
worthy love story. Travis even jettedto Australia to catch Taylor's latest concert before
zipping back for the Chief's Super Bowlparty, and Travis made it clear he's
not worried about the spotlight on them, saying the scrutiny magnifies Taylor, but
(17:14):
he's just living and enjoying life withher. Be still my heart. These
two have definitely got their heads inthe game and only have eyes for each
other, and we are one hundredpercent here for it. Zach gave them
his stamp of approval. Now wejust need a Troy and Gabriella duet from
Travis and Taylor fingers crossed? Howprecious would that be? After popping over
(17:38):
to Australia for a quickie visit withgirlfriend Taylor Swift, the Chief's tight End
headed to Las Vegas to party withhis team, and when none other than
DJ Marshmellow played a remix of Taye'siconic song love Story, Travis was seen
smiling and dancing along. How sweetis that? It was just two weeks
(18:00):
ago on Super Bowl Sunday when Travisand Taylor slow danced and sang those lyrics
You'll be the Prince and I'll bethe Princess to each other. It gave
us all the feels. And nowto see Travis swaying to that special song
again with Taylor on his mind,excuse me while I grabbed the tissues.
(18:22):
These two are clearly head over heels, from their PDA filled reunion in Australia
to Travis fangirling at Taylor's concert tothese musical moments. Earlier this month,
Travis even sang along to You Belongwith Me at the Chief's first Super Bowl
after party in Vegas. Taylor calledit the most romantic thing that's ever happened.
(18:47):
Is anyone else getting emotional whiplash fromall the cuteness after years hiding her
relationships. It warms my heart tosee Taylor so publicly in love, and
Travis clearly isn't afraid to share itfrom the rooftops, the way he keeps
his princess close even when thousands ofmiles apart. That's the kind of romance
(19:07):
I'm manifesting in twenty twenty three.Here's hoping we get more adorable glimpses into
this fairy tale soon. Trailer ForeverTailor and Travis are at it again with
the swoon worthy romantic gestures. Beforeheading back from his whirlwind Australia trip to
party with the Chiefs in Las Vegas, Travis snuck in one last date night
(19:27):
with his songstress Sweetye in Sydney.The couple was spotted walking hand in hand
down a Sydney marina with huge smiles, still in their concerts rehearsal outfits.
How cute is that, just soakingup their last moments down Under together.
I can just imagine them cozied upon the boat deck after with Tay wrapped
(19:49):
under Travis's big bicep. Sigh.It's so clear these love birds are trying
hard to make it work between theirbeyond busy careers, with Tay's Heiress tour
and Travis celebrating his Super Bowl champstatus with the Chiefs. A source said
Travis really wanted to reciprocate the supportTaylor showed during his NFL playoff run,
(20:12):
and they're putting in that effort.Between the kisses when they reunited backstage and
holding hands on sunset strolls. Theyaren't afraid to show their affection when they
steal private moments together. Uugh,be still my heart. Here's hoping with
Tay soon wrapping her Australia shows andon a tour break in March and April,
(20:36):
she and Travis can get some morequality time. Absence makes the heart
grow fonder, but this romantic pairclearly can't stand to be a part more
