Rania Aniftos:Taylor Swift upped the game and fueled Travis Kelce dating rumors with a football date. From football to more football, Usher has some Super news. The fight continues for Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner as the kids are ordered to stay in New York. Drake is back on top with a new Hot 100 hit and we learn more about Vic Mensa as he goes Speed Dating.
Hey, everybody! Happy Monday! I’m Rania Aniftos, it’s Monday, September 25th, and this is Billboard News.
We have a lot of sports today in the show, so let’s start off with Taylor Swift’s big game. Football season is in full swing and Taylor Swift is in her football era as she was spotted at the Kansas City Chiefs game on Sunday.
Taylor Swift was spotted sitting in Travis Kelce’s box at the Chiefs vs. Bears game this past Sunday wearing a team jacket and cheering alongside Mama Kelce. Cameras were quick to show Taylor with Travis’ mother enthusiastically cheering for her rumored boyfriend. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed that he invited Swift to watch him play, saying in an interview, “I threw the ball in her court. I told her I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead.” Barstool Sports caught the two leaving the game together and posted it to their IG. The Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears 41 to 10. I think Taylor might be a lucky charm.
We warned you it was a sports day. From football to more football, Usher has some big news.
