Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship has captivated audiences across sports and entertainment for nearly two years. Swift stands atop the pop music mountain as one of the biggest artists in the history of the industry while Kelce has contributed to the Kansas City Chiefs' dynasty.
The combination of their successes and relationship has kept them in the public eye for a while. Now with the NFL in the offseason and Swift coming off the worldwide Eras Tour, the couple hoped to get a breather from the spotlight.
A situation outside their control has drawn them back into the public eye. Swift has herself caught between two sides in a feud between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment back in 2024 and that accusation has spiraled into a sequence of events that has drawn Swift in due to her connections to both sides.
That has led to a rift between Swift and the couple of Reynolds and Lively. Because of that ongoing conflict, Kelce's recent social media decision stirred attention online.
Kelce unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram in a move that at least represents a defense of his celebrity partner. Now could it be just a mindless timeline cleanse on his part? Sure.
But his involvement with Swift has his every move under a microscope. Even considering his non history with both Reynolds and Lively, a simple click of a button can stoke flames on social media.
On Kelce's part, he may just be looking to support his partner and ensure he is standing on the right side.

Drake Just Took a Savage Shot at Serena Williams During a Steamy Shoot with Sexyy Red: 'Uncalled For'
Drake and Serena Williams' long-running, indirect feud resurfaced, as the Canadian rapper appeared to subtly mock the tennis champion by liking a pointed comment on his Instagram post. On Monday, Drake shared a series of tennis-themed photos featuring rapper Sexyy Red. He captioned the photos, "I said tennis lesson she said where's the bracelet or the necklace." Fans were quick to catch another detail, too. Drake liked a comment from a user that said, "Serena Williams upgrade [fire emojis]." According to the Daily Mail, The shoutout sparked new speculation that the rapper was rekindling beef with Williams, whom he dated on and off from 2011 to 2015. Their dynamic has drawn public attention over the years, often resurfacing during high-profile moments. One such moment came during Kendrick Lamar's 2025 Super Bowl halftime performance. Williams tweeted after her cameo on stage: "Let's go Super Bowl halftime??! I died a little!" Many saw her appearance as a subtle jab, given Lamar's highly publicized feud with Drake. Capital XtRa report notes Williams also joked about the Drake-Lamar rivalry during the 2024 ESPYS, which she was hosting. Williams said, "If I've learned anything this year, it's that none of us - not a single one of us, not even me - should ever pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar." She added, "He will make your hometown not like you. The next time Drake sits courtside at a Raptors game, they're gonna Forrest Gump him, 'seat's taken'." Drake has responded indirectly before. In the wake of Williams' Super Bowl appearance, he posted a photo on his private Instagram with her former agent Jill Smoller - a veiled reference that, according to the source, again stoked the online narrative over their troubled relationship. A photo taken in 2015 during one of Williams' Wimbledon matches was posted without a caption, prompting followers to speculate in the comments. Drake and Williams were first linked romantically in 2011. The two were spotted together multiple times - including at a Cincinnati restaurant in 2015 - before splitting. Drake seemed to address the breakup on his 2016 song "Too Good," rapping, "I'm too good to you/ I'm way too good to you/ You take my love for granted/ I just don't understand it." Williams married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in 2017. The Daily Mail reports that Drake mentioned Ohanian years later in his 2022 song "Middle of the Ocean."
Yankees rumors: Jon Heyman outlines ‘surprise’ from NY after Trent Grisham decision
On Tuesday, Trent Grisham decided to accept the qualifying offer worth $22.025 million tendered to him by the New York Yankees as a reward for his career-year in 2025. Grisham became the Yankees’ everyday centerfielder and he made that position his, smashing a career-best 34 home runs and driving in 74 runs on an OPS of .812. As per FanGraphs, his contributions last year were worth 3.2 WAR — a performance that the Yankees then deemed worthy of trying to keep. Perhaps the Yankees felt as though there would be a bigger market for Grisham in free agency, which is why they tendered the qualifying offer. Alas, Grisham doesn’t exactly have the kind of track record that would make any other team commit that much money to him annually on a long-term deal. Thus, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, there appears to be some surprise among the Yankees brass that Grisham decided to return to the team on the QO. “I think there were some Yankees people that were somewhat surprised by this decision,” Heyman said. Heyman then wondered how Grisham’s $22.025 million contract for 2025 would affect the Yankees’ other pursuits in free agency, namely re-signing Cody Bellinger, as well as reinforcing their shaky bullpen. “Does this affect their ability to sign Cody Bellinger?” Heyman asked. “How much money does that leave for the bullpen, for maybe an extra starter, fill maybe a little bit on first base?” Nonetheless, as the reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers have proven, spending is key to winning it all. Will the Yankees follow suit, even after signing Grisham to a more expensive deal than some may have expected? Will Yankees’ Trent Grisham come back to earth in 2026? From 2022 to 2024, Grisham failed to hit over the Mendoza line. He hadn’t even hit over 20 home runs in a single year prior to his explosion in 2025. There is a huge chance that the 29-year-old falls off in 2026, although he will be in a contract year again, so he’ll at least be motivated to replicate his 2025 season for the Yankees. Considering how much money they have already tied up to Grisham, the Yankees are hoping he does.
Islanders-Stars game ends with ejection, review and Patrick Roy screaming
The New York Islanders' 3-2 win over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday night ended with complete mayhem that included an ejection, Islanders coach Patrick Roy screaming and a replay review on what could have been a potential buzzer-beating game-tying goal. It is probably the most chaotic ending of the 2025-26 NHL season to date. Here's what happened. Mikko Rantanen ejected for hit that enraged Patrick Roy Things really started to pop off when Stars forward Mikko Rantanen was ejected for boarding Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov with just 27 seconds remaining. Rantanen was assessed a match penalty for the hit, resulting in Roy screaming at him between the benches. Roy is no stranger to these sorts of altercations in his head-coaching career, and he has repeatedly gotten himself into verbal — and nearly physical — altercations with opponents. His first game as an NHL head coach with the Colorado Avalanche nearly resulted in him climbing over the glass to fight then-Anaheim Ducks head coach Bruce Boudreau. He has passion. But that was only the start of the crazy ending. Potential buzzer-beating game-tying goal overturned on replay review As the Islanders were attempting to cling to a one-goal lead, the Stars appeared to tie the game with a buzzer-beating goal that would have sent the game to overtime, completing a wild comeback that started with a goal just one minute earlier. The only problem: The goal was taken away when it was determined that Stars forward Jason Robertson interfered with goalie David Rittich. Robertson definitely makes contact with Rittich in the crease, and he is responsible for making every possible effort to avoid that. But it is also true that Islanders defenseman Ryan Pulock gives him a pretty good hit that sends him into the crease and into Rittich. The officials and NHL clearly did not think that was the cause of the interference and overturned the goal, securing the Islanders win. Goaltending interference can be a pretty subjective call. In this case, it did not favor the Stars.
The 'NFL single-game completions leaders' quiz
The Arizona Cardinals dropped to 3-7 with their 41-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but quarterback Jacoby Brissett was able to make NFL history in the process. Brissett completed an regular-season NFL-record 47 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns with two picks in the loss. The 452 yards are also the second-most in the NFL so far this season, trailing just Joe Flacco’s 470-yard performance in Week 9. Ben Roethlisberger is the only other player to complete 47 passes in a game, doing so in the 2021 wild-card round, which also resulted in a loss. Which brings us to today’s quiz. An NFL quarterback has completed at least 40 passes in a regular season NFL game on 37 occasions. How many of those quarterbacks can you name in five minutes? Good luck! Did you like this quiz?
