Global Sensation: Travis Kelce Dishes on His Love Story with Taylor Swift

NFL star Travis Kelce has offered an intimate glimpse into his two-year romance with music icon Taylor Swift, revealing that despite intense media scrutiny, their relationship feels remarkably normal. In a recent GQ cover story published on August 12, Kelce, 35, stated, "Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people. When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love." He acknowledged the public perception often differs from reality due to constant media tracking but emphasized the organic nature of their connection. Kelce recounted that their love blossomed naturally, without any "controlled, organized process," founded on shared values of fun, respect, and appreciation for others.

Fans recall Kelce's initial, humorous attempt to connect with Swift in July 2023, when he expressed disappointment on his "New Heights" podcast about not being able to give her a friendship bracelet after her show. Now, their relationship has progressed significantly, with Swift making a highly anticipated appearance on Kelce's podcast to announce her upcoming album, "The Life of a Showgirl." This episode, set to drop on August 13, has generated considerable excitement among fans.

Beyond the album announcement, Taylor Swift has also fueled speculation about a potential Super Bowl performance in February. During her appearance on the "New Heights" podcast, where she discussed her 12th record, she embedded several "Easter eggs" suggesting she might headline the gridiron final at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Clues included references to the number 47, noting her 47th Eras Tour show was at Levi’s Stadium, and joking about performing in “47,000 countries.” She also mentioned her love for numerology and math. The orange theme on her new album cover, combined with the Kansas City Chiefs' red and yellow kit (which mix to make orange), and the podcast setting adorned with Super Bowl memorabilia like the Lombardi Trophy and a Travis Kelce figurine, further intensified the rumors. It's believed that Swift's previous refusals to perform at the Super Bowl were due to her focus on re-recording her first six albums, a battle she recently won, securing the master recordings on May 30. This achievement now opens the door for new opportunities, potentially including the highly coveted Super Bowl halftime show.

In other celebrity news, supermodel Kate Moss continues to embrace her iconic image, appearing in Yves Saint Laurent’s Fall 2025 campaign, "Velvet Heat." Footage from the shoot, posted by her agency, showed Moss holding cigarettes in various poses, including on a beach and in a fur coat. Interestingly, a video released by YSL for the same campaign appeared to have edited out the cigarette, reflecting a potential shift in public perception or brand image, despite Moss admitting in 2023 to still smoking occasionally.

Meanwhile, TV presenter Maya Jama is expanding her influence by launching MIJ Mentorships, a nationwide search for young talent. She has applied to trademark the initiative, which aims to match five aspiring creatives from underrepresented backgrounds with mentors from her personal network, covering fields such as TV production, broadcasting, fashion, communications, marketing, and talent management. Jama, who moved to London at 16 to pursue her dreams, emphasized the program is for women at an aspiring, entry, or junior-level career stage who haven't had a mentor before.

Ed's cousin, screenwriter Murray Cummings, who directed the 2018 documentary "Ed Sheeran: Songwriter," is also listed as a member of the partnership.

Fans of Wolf Alice can anticipate a visual treat in the band's upcoming video for "Just Two Girls," from their new album "The Clearing." Actress Lucy Boynton, known for "Bohemian Rhapsody," stars in the promo and is noted for her striking resemblance to Wolf Alice's lead singer, Ellie Rowsell. The video was filmed at Freemasons’ Hall in central London.

Lastly, Sarah Jessica Parker expressed a "very weepy" reaction to the conclusion of the "Sex And The City" reboot, "And Just Like That," which recently wrapped its third series. Her emotional response was shared online with a fan, marking the end of another chapter for the iconic character Carrie Bradshaw and the beloved franchise.

Raye introduced Absolutely to Pinterest, encouraging her to take fashion seriously, gather inspiration, and create mood boards, which has led Absolutely to now design all her own outfits. Absolutely is set to perform at the All Points East Festival, where Raye will also headline, showcasing her dual talent in music and style.
