Taylor Swift and Travis Back in Public Eye for Awards
But they recently took a brief break from the public eye.
The two had a very busy 2024, and beginning of 2025, with Kelce helping the Chiefs to the Super Bowl, and Swift finishing up her Eras Tour. Now, the two are going to be back in the spotlight, as they have both been nominated for awards.
According to People, Kelce and Swift have both been nominated for awards at the upcoming Kids' Choice Awards on June 21, with the latter being named a finalist for multiple honors.
Kelce joins superstars like Jayson Tatum, Jalen Hurts, LeBron James, Shohei Ohtani, Stephen Curry, Lionel Messi and his teammate Patrick Mahomes for the nomination for Favorite Male Sports Star.
Swift has been nominated for Favorite Female Artist, alongside Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez and SZA. She also secured a spot among the nominees for Favorite Song for "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart."
The global superstar has also been named a finalist in six categories at the upcoming Video Music Awards, set to take place on May 26.
The duo are both among the best in their respective fields, and Kelce - in what might be his final pro season - will look to become the best by helping the Chiefs bounce back from a loss in the Super Bowl this past season.

Byron Leftwich still a 'volunteer' under Deion Sanders at Colorado: What to know
Colorado football coach Deion Sanders introduced Byron Leftwich to his team this week, telling his players that the former NFL quarterback would be part of the team's coaching staff and work with the Buffaloes' quarterbacks. 'This guy knows what he's doing,' Sanders told his team, as documented in a YouTube video posted July 29 by Deion Sanders Jr. 'And he's gonna be an intricate part of our success. I already know that. … So, let's welcome Coach Leftwich.' The team clapped. However, the university confirmed Friday, Aug. 1 that, 'as of right now, Mr. Byron Leftwich is still considered a volunteer with the University," as he was in the spring. This could change in days or weeks if Leftwich officially joins the staff as a paid assistant. The university didn't respond to requests for further comment. In the meantime, it's the second or third time since March that Sanders Sr. has suggested Leftwich has been hired or is on the verge of being hired at Colorado, raising questions about whether Sanders is getting what he wants from the university in terms of staffing. He's at least been having to wait for it. Deion Sanders brought it up at Big 12 media days Sanders previously brought up the subject at a Big 12 Conference media days event July 9, when he indicated he wanted to add Leftwich and former NFL head coach Mike Zimmer to his staff in Boulder but that something was in the way of making it official. After noting his staff already had more than 150 years of combined NFL experience, Sanders said, 'This is without Byron Leftwich, which I'm praying that he does the right thing, and Mike Zimmer." Sanders didn't say who he wanted to do 'the right thing.' It sounded then like he might have been hoping that Leftwich accepted the job. But considering that Leftwich has returned to Boulder and is not yet getting paid by the university, it's also possible Sanders could have been applying public pressure on a decision-maker at CU to do 'the right thing,' meaning fund and approve the hiring of Leftwich. Colorado is getting a great deal with Leftwich working for free. He previously helped lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory in February 2021 as the team's offensive coordinator. The New England Patriots also interviewed him for their head coach vacancy in January. Leftwich, 45, declined comment when contacted by USA TODAY Sports July 11. The university confirmed in July that Zimmer isn't on the Colorado staff. Other previous comments by Deion Sanders In March, Sanders said more notable staff hirings were on the way. 'We have a couple more huge moves we'll probably make this week, maybe one next week that you're gonna really appreciate the understanding of how wonderful this staff is,' Sanders said March 17. Two days later, on March 19, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that 'Leftwich is back in coaching as he is joining Deion Sanders' staff at Colorado.' At the time, Schultz was a client of the same talent agency that works with Sanders, SMAC Entertainment. But no big staff moves were announced after that. Leftwich wasn't officially hired. He was spotted at Colorado wearing school gear in March. In response to questions about it, the school said then that Leftwich was a volunteer. Also in March, Sanders made a cryptic remark about money on a show called "The Morning Run." 'These people better go and get my money and stop playing," he said. He then quickly said 'bye, bye' before exiting the show. It's not clear what he was talking about then, but it could have been about pay for his staff. Sanders also got a new five-year contract after that worth more than $10 million annually, nearly double his previous annual pay. Bigger staff and new costs Despite any holdup with Leftwich, Colorado still has expanded its football staff under Sanders, including the addition of two former Dallas Cowboys players to coach its offensive line – Andre Gurode and George Hegamin. Meanwhile, Colorado's athletic department is facing the same financial challenges as other major colleges after a judge recently approved a legal settlement that allows schools to pay players up to $20.5 million for their names, images and likenesses (NIL). That's a whole new cost to add to the budget, starting July 1. The Buffaloes began preseason practice this week and will open the season at home against Georgia Tech Aug. 29.

Chiefs' Chris Jones expresses marriage desire after messy split from longtime girlfriend
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones may have gotten a bit too real at training camp this week. The Chiefs' social media team continued the tradition of asking players a question as they walked through the grounds at training camp. On Wednesday, the question was: "What's one thing on your bucket list you haven't completed yet?" Chiefs defensive lineman George Karlaftis expressed an interest in going to Japan, cornerback Jacobe Covington wanted to go skydiving, and linebacker Brandon George added that he wanted to go to Brazil. But when Jones appeared, he poured his heart out a little bit. "I just wanna be married, I just wanna be loved," he said. The New York Post noted that Jones' remarks came after his ex-girlfriend Sheawna Weathersby accused him of cheating. The two apparently split some time between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. "I'm choosing to focus on the positive as I close this chapter on a 9-year relationship. Ultimately Chris' infidelity with the woman he's recently been pictured with led to my decision to end our relationship months ago," she wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories in March, according to the New York Post. "This is especially troubling given her history of harassment, stalking and disrespect towards me, including constantly calling and messaging me and my close friends from text free apps and fake Instagram pages. This behavior has forced me to change my number and has forced Chris to ask her multiple times to please leave me alone and respect our coparenting dynamic." Jones acknowledged in January that he was single, but he has not addressed the cheating allegations. The two share two children together. Jones, a three-time Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowler, is entering his 10th season with the Chiefs. He had five sacks in 15 games last season.

New York Knicks Star Reacts to Terry McLaurin Trade Rumors
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This week, the Washington Commanders have officially reached a low point in their contract negotiations with the veteran wide receiver, Terry McLaurin. New York Knicks star Josh Hart, who is a well-known Commanders fan, took to social media to react to the viral news report that confirmed Terry McLaurin requested a trade from the Commanders. "Damn," said a stunned Josh Hart. All offseason, McLaurin and the Commanders understood they were on different pages in terms of what they want. While the Commanders want McLaurin around for next season and beyond, and McLaurin wants to remain a Commander for the rest of his career, the financials aren't working for either side. McLaurin wants to be paid like one of the top wideouts in the NFL. The Commanders seem to think that his financial demands are too steep at this time. Back in the spring, McLaurin was willing to show up for OTAs at first. Then, he changed his mind. When the Commanders reached mandatory minicamp, McLaurin was away from the team. He stayed away at the start of training camp as well. Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders is interviewed on the sidelines against the Baltimore Ravens during the first half of a preseason game at M&T Bank Stadium on August 27, 2022 in Baltimore, Maryland.... Terry McLaurin #17 of the Washington Commanders is interviewed on the sidelines against the Baltimore Ravens during the first half of a preseason game at M&T Bank Stadium on August 27, 2022 in Baltimore, Maryland. MoreLate last week, McLaurin surprisingly showed up at the Commanders' camp. He wasn't suited up, as he got placed on the PUP list, but McLaurin was showing that he's still committed to the team despite not having a deal in place just yet. His presence didn't move the needle. Now, McLaurin's on to the next step, and is attempting to force his team's hand. Pay up or trade him away so he can secure his money somewhere else. Read More: Chad Johnson Suggests Two Possible Trade Suitors for Terry McLaurin Seeing the Commanders part ways with McLaurin would be a tough pill to swallow for fans like Josh Hart. Not only has McLaurin been one of the most consistent wide receivers in the NFL since 2019, but he's coming off a career-best season in the scoring department. Playing in his first season with Jayden Daniels, McLaurin caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns. In the playoffs, he racked up 227 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Commanders were one game away from the Super Bowl. McLaurin and Daniels could be a dangerous duo in the NFC East for years to come, but the veteran is reaching a point where he might need to pack up and move elsewhere to secure his desired deal.
