Since the photo went viral, NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins has noticed the picture and decided to speak out about it. He sent a hilarious message to Swift.
"God bless Taylor Swift for being good with that," Cousins said. "That's awesome. Good for her."
Cousins went on to make it clear that he does not deal with body hair, but that he sees a lot of it in NFL locker rooms.
"Thankfully, I don't have to deal with that, but I'm in a locker room a lot," he said. "That's just a part of life. It is what it is."
Moving past his back hair, Kelce will be coming back for at least one more season with the Chiefs in 2025. After losing in the Super Bowl, he simply could not walk away on a loss like that.

After making the decision to come back for the upcoming campaign, Kelce spoke out with his reasoning.
"The biggest thing is that I (expletive) love playing the game of football. I love playing," Kelce said. "I still think I can play it at a high level, and possibly at a higher level than I did last year."
He also revealed that losing in the Super Bowl was probably the biggest reason for his comeback in 2025.
"I don't think it was my best outing. I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past," he continued. "I got a bad taste in my mouth for how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was for the people around me."

25 best Indianapolis Colts since 2000
IndyStar is spending the summer looking at the best athletes from Indiana sports teams since 2000. Here is our list of the 25 best Indianapolis Colts players since 2000: Stats: 11 seasons, 176 games, 66.0%, 46,954 yards, 347 touchdowns, 155 interceptions, 97.5 passer rating Manning loses two seasons based on the timeframe but it makes no difference; he's an easy choice atop this list. Manning was named MVP four times, a six-time first-team All-Pro (and made a second team) and was a Pro Bowler for 10 seasons. Stats: 9 seasons, 130 games, 791 catches, 10,439 yards, 95 touchdowns Harrison loses four seasons — including an All-Pro year with 1,663 yards and 12 scores — due to the timeframe, so this spot is a little closer, but he's another easy choice. Harrison made seven All-Pro teams (2 first, 5 second) and seven Pro Bowls while setting the since-broken record with 143 catches in 2002. Stats: 11 seasons, 163 games, 44 forced fumbles, 107.5 sacks, 590 tackles, 113 tackles for loss Freeney made the Pro Football Hall of Fame as one of the league's greatest pass rushers. He led the NFL in sacks in 2004 (16) and tackles for loss (20) as a rookie in 2002, made All-Pro first team four times and second team once, as well as seven Pro Bowls. Stats: 7 seasons, 112 starts Nelson has made three All-Pro first teams and two seconds, as well as the Pro Bowl in all seven of his seasons. He's quickly establishing himself as one of the NFL's best guards of all-time and shows few signs of slowing down. Stats: 14 seasons, 211 games, 1,070 catches, 14,345 yards, 82 touchdowns After a relatively slow start to his career (1,899 yards over his first three seasons), Wayne became one of the NFL's most consistent receivers over the next nine years. He led the NFL in receiving yards in 2007 (1,510), made All-Pro three times (first once, second twice) and six Pro Bowls. Stats: 13 seasons, 188 starts The undrafted free agent became a full-time starter in his second season and only missed six games after that with the Colts. Saturday made five Pro Bowls, All-Pro first team twice and second team once. Stats: 6 seasons, 80 games, 7,673 rushing yards, 51 touchdowns, 4.2 yards per rush, 294 catches, 2,253 yards, 7 touchdowns No one takes a bigger hit for the timeframe than James, who loses a spectacular rookie season (NFL-high 1,553 rushing yards, 13 TDs, 62 catches, 586 yards, 4 TDs). He still made All-Pro second team twice and four Pro Bowls despite a knee injury the cut short his 2001 season and caused a dip in his production. Stats: 13 seasons, 192 games, 54 forced fumbles, 17 fumble recoveries, 123 sacks, 538 tackles, 108 tackles for loss Despite being a fifth-round pick, Mathis was an impact player almost immediately, hit double-digit sacks his second and third seasons, and established himself as an elite pass rusher. Mathis made All-Pro first team once and was a five-time Pro Bowler. Stats: 7 seasons, 48 games, 6 interceptions, 16 passes defended, 295 tackles, 10 tackles for loss How do you rate Sanders? He had one of the greatest three-year runs for a safety in NFL history, making first-team All-Pro twice — including being named Defensive Player of the Year— and being the key figure for the Colts' Super Bowl championship turnaround in 2006. But he played a total of 15 games with the Colts outside of those three seasons. Stats: 6 seasons, 70 games, 12 interceptions, 31 passes defended, 17 forced fumbles, 7 fumble recoveries, 15 sacks, 614 tackles, 32 tackles for loss He made All-Pro his first four seasons (first team three times) before injuries ended a remarkable career. Turnovers are not supposed to be predictable, but Leonard was a remarkably consistent playmaker. If you want to bump him down the list a few spots, I won't argue, but I'll take peak over longevity. Stats: 10 seasons, 143 games, 631 catches, 9,691 yards, 53 touchdowns He quickly became a primary target of Andrew Luck when both were rookies in 2012 and carried on the tradition of Colts' receivers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. Hilton led the NFL in receiving yards in 2016 (1,448) and made four Pro Bowls. Stats: 6 seasons, 86 games, 60.8%, 23,671 yards, 171 touchdowns, 83 interceptions, 89.5 passing rating, 1,590 rushing yards, 14 touchdowns What could have been. Luck, of course, retired at 29 due to injuries, so we will only rank him based on what he did. That, of course, was drag four teams to the playoffs, including one AFC championship game, and make four Pro Bowls. Did Luck live up to his potential? No, but he's still 12th on this list. Stats: 5 seasons, 78 games, 17 passes defended, 6 forced fumbles, 39 sacks, 342 tackles, 50 tackles for loss The Colts traded a first-round pick for the defensive tackle and have never regretted it. Buckner made first team All-Pro in 2020 and has made two Pro Bowls. If last year's injuries don't continue, he'll move up this list. Stats: 10 seasons, 154 starts Glenn started every game he appeared in, all but his 16 as a rookie right guard at left tackle, protecting Peyton Manning's blind side. He missed just 6 games in his career — all in 2003 — and returned to make three straight Pro Bowls before retiring at 30. Stats: 8 seasons, 123 games, 14 interceptions, 47 passes defended, 805 tackles, 16 tackles for loss The sixth-round pick quickly stepped into the Colts' starting lineup at safety, making two Pro Bowls in Indianapolis. Bethea had two seasons with 4 interceptions, defended at least 4 passes in all eight years with the Colts and had at least 100 tackles five times. Stats: 9 seasons, 121 starts The center started all 121 games he appeared in with the Colts before signing with the Vikings this offseason. He missed games in six of his nine seasons but made four Pro Bowls. Stats: 5 seasons, 67 games, 6,013 yards, 51 touchdowns, 4.9 yards per rush Taylor was spectacular his first two seasons, leading the NFL in yards (1,811) and touchdowns (18) in his second season (to make first team All-Pro) after rushing for 1,169 yards and 11 TDs as a rookie. He's struggled to stay healthy since but ran for 1,431 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, making his second Pro Bowl. Stats: 10 seasons, 144 starts The left tackle started all 144 games he appeared in, starting with Peyton Manning, through Andrew Luck and finishing with Philip Rivers. Castonzo never made a Pro Bowl but was an excellent left tackle for 10 seasons. Stats: 11 seasons, 150 starts An underrated member of the Peyton Manning-era Colts. The offensive lineman never made a Pro Bowl but after coming off the bench seven times as a rookie in 2001, he started every game he appeared in the rest of his career, primarily at right tackle. Stats: 9 seasons, 427 catches, 4,887 yards, 46 TDs A productive tight end, making the Pro Bowl in 2009 with 100 catches, 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns. Clark only had two other seasons over 600 yards but was a reliable target for Peyton Manning. Stats: 8 seasons, 104 starts, 17 passes defended, 12 forced fumbles, 15 fumble recoveries, 28.5 sacks, 303 tackles, 45 tackles for loss Another underrated member of the Manning-era Colts, providing consistent production on the defensive line. Brock forced as many as 4 fumbles, defended as many as 4 passes, had 6.5 sacks twice and hit double-digits in tackles for loss twice. Stats: 9 seasons, 116 games, 12 interceptions, 29 passes defensed, 712 tackles, 21 tackles for loss Undrafted and undersized (5-11, 235 pounds), Brackett was the heart of the Colts' defense during their most successful run. He topped 99 tackles five times after entering the starting lineup and had seasons with 4 interceptions, 7 passes defended, and 6 tackles for loss. Stats: 14 seasons, 336 field goals, 85.3%, 507 PATs, 96.8% Ranking kickers is hard but Vinatieri — a future Pro Football Hall of Famer and the NFL's all-time leading scorer — has to be on the list. The Colts signed him as a free agent in 2006 at the age of 34 and he'd kick until he was 47. Vinatieri only made one Pro Bowl for the Colts, leading the league in field goal percentage in 2014 at .968. Stats: 9 seasons, 295 catches, 2,729 yards, 24 TDs Doyle made two Pro Bowls despite being an undrafted free agent who didn't step into a starting role until he was 26 in 2016. He had his best season in 2017 with 80 catches for 690 yards and 4 touchdowns, but he was best known for his versatile blocking skills. Stats: 8 seasons, 118 games, 20 interceptions, 62 passes defended, 10 sacks, 594 tackles, 36 tackles for loss

Taylor Swift Fans Are Spiraling Over a Mysterious Instagram Countdown
Something appears to be coming. And by "something," I mean a new Taylor Swift Fans are convinced music is incoming thanks to several clues across social media, so in the interest of clowning, let's break it down. First up, Taylor Nation posted a listening party to Tay's self-titled album on July 18, with the event starting at 1 pm. This post seemingly kicked off a listening party countdown of sorts, with Taylor Nation posting one for Fearless on July 19 at 2:00 pm, then one for Speak Now on July 20 at 3:00 pm, and then one for Red on July 21 at 4 pm. In other words, they're posting one album at a time, one day apart, with listening parties one hour apart. It's clearly a countdown, BUT TO WHAT. Meanwhile, the caption to that ^ first post includes "Everything we need is finally right here by our side," which is a reference to Taylor's 12th song on the album. Which could be a clue that her 12th album is dropping? More details here: Of course, there's also a chance that Taylor is dropping Taylor's Version of debut, which she told fans she re-recorded in a letter about buying back her masters. "I've already completely re-recorded my entire debut album, and I really love how it sounds now," she said, adding that Debut and Reputation "can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about. But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now." ANYWAY, guess we'll see what happens?

Fans Think Taylor Swift's 12th Album Is Coming Soon — Here's Why
Fans Think Taylor Swift's 12th Album Is Coming Soon — Here's Why originally appeared on Parade. Is Taylor Swift's 12th album releasing soon? Swifties are convinced so. Beginning on Friday, July 18, Swift's social media team, Taylor Nation, began posting listening parties for all of her previous albums, starting with her debut album Taylor Swift. "Welcome home, self titled. 💚 Dive into our favorite memories on the new Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour archival site #SelfTitledEraTSTheErasTour," Taylor Nation wrote via Instagram, alongside photos from Swift's debut era. "Everything we need is finally right here by our side and to celebrate, stream the album with us at 1pm EDT today In the days following, Taylor Nation hosted listening parties for Fearless, Speak Now, Red, and 1989. On Tuesday, July 22, a Swift fan page posted a theory on X which said that the listening parties are a countdown to the singer's new album, placing the release date on Tuesday, July 29. "Debut– 1pm ☑️ Fearless– 2pm ☑️ , Speak Now– 3pm ☑️ , Red– 4pm, 1989– 5pm ☑️ , Reputation– 6 pm 👀👀👀👀👀👀, Lover– 7pm, Folklore– 8pm, Evermore– 9pm, Midnights– 10pm, TTPD- 11pm, TS12– 12am 👀👀👀👀," the fan wrote. Many Swfties in the replies agreed with the theory - though some offered alternative options. Some speculated the countdown was for the highly-anticipated re-recording of Swift's 6th studio album reputation - though the pop star claimed in May she hasn't even re-recorded "a quarter of it." Others theorized that it could be something in celebration of the 5-year anniversary of folklore, Swift's highly-acclaimed 8th studio album which released on July 24, 2020. The mysterious countdown comes less than two months after Swift announced she owns her entire discography, following a years-long public battle with talent manager Scooter Braun. "I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away," she wrote in a letter shared via her official website. "But, that's all in the past now… I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made now belongs to me." 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Fans Think Taylor Swift's 12th Album Is Coming Soon — Here's Why first appeared on Parade on Jul 22, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 22, 2025, where it first appeared.
