Back in a New York groove! Travis Kelce looks suave in photoshoot near Taylor Swift's apartment
Kelce carried around a camouflage tote bag while a vintage luxury Chevrolet Chevelle SS appeared in the background during the Manhattan job.
The housing and sidewalk behind Kelce speak to the area of the Tribeca neighborhood where Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, has her New York residence.
The brand Kelce is shooting the commercial for is unclear in his swanky all-white outfit.
Kelce has stayed with Swift in 'The Big Apple' before, last being seen several weeks ago in America's biggest city.
The duo also had a date last December in southern Manhattan in the middle of Kelce's NFL season.

Swift and Kelce have frequented New York City as one of their favorite date spots during their relationship, also coming to the area for last year's US Open men's final, alongside friends Patrick and Brittany Mahomes.
The quartet watched as Jannik Sinner defeated American Taylor Fritz before going out to a swanky Mediterranean dinner.
Kelce may have an extended period in New York as the MET Gala takes place on Monday with him and Swift resurfacing as possible attendees at one of the biggest nights in fashion of the year.
Saturday is also the Kentucky Derby, with Swift and Kelce attending the biggest American horse race of the year together in 2024. There would not be much stopping the duo from hoping on a plane to Louisville and doing the same this year.
This year, though, Kelce has kept a lower profile. In March, he enjoyed dinner with Swift in New York and travelled to Montana for a skiing trip.
Recent reports suggested that Kelce believes the circus surrounding his relationship caused a dip in his performances on the field.
It's claimed he wanted a breather from all the attention and last week Kelce was on the training field away from prying eyes.
The 35-year-old is looking to bounce back from February's Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, after which he contemplated retiring from the NFL.

Kelce decided to continue his career for at least one more season and, as reported by the Daily Mail, he won't let his girlfriend's fame get in the way.
'Travis is going all in for this season and the only thing that could derail him would be injury. Losing the Super Bowl was a major blow, as he wants to be someone that can have it all and one who can handle having it all,' a source said.
'[The couple] don't have to be the center of attention anymore and are going to often not be seen out and about as much as they have been... his on field play needs to improve, and he knows that.'

Jerry Jones risks more outrage from Cowboys stars after brutal take on Micah Parsons' trade request
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has delivered a brutal verdict on Micah Parsons' decision to submit an official trade request. The Cowboys' top defensive star, 26, had been locked in a tense standoff with the franchise throughout the offseason as they continued to fail to reach an agreement over a new contract extension. And with no deal in sight heading into the second week of training camp, the pass rusher has officially attempted to force his way out of Jerry Jones's team. Parsons announced that he had formally submitted a trade request in a bombshell statement on social media Friday afternoon, saying: 'I no longer want to be here.' Reports later emerged that a number of Cowboys stars had turned on owner Jones in the wake of Parsons' contract demand but it appears their owner is unbothered. Speaking publicly about the matter for the first time on Saturday afternoon, Jones told reporters: 'I would say to our fans, don't lose any sleep over this.' More to follow...

Charley Hull charges into Women's Open contention at Royal Porthcawl
Hull began the day at Royal Porthcawl on even-par, 11 shots off the lead, but launched her charge with seven birdies and one bogey as her six-under score catapulted her up the leaderboard into a tie for fourth place. Japan's Yamashita, who led by three shots overnight after a bogey-free 65 on Friday, carded a two-over 74 and saw her lead cut to one shot after South Korea's Kim A-lim posted a five-under 67 to climb into outright second. Charley charges into contention. Currently tied third on the leaderboard 👀 — AIG Women's Open (@AIGWomensOpen) August 2, 2025 American Andrea Lee also shot a 67 and sits third, while Japan's Minami Katsu sank seven birdies and an eagle for a brilliant 65 – spoilt by two birdies – to climb alongside Hull, American Megan Khang (68) and Rio Takeda (74). When world number 20 Hull was asked if she would go for victory on Sunday, she told the media: 'Yeah, 100 per cent. I've got nothing to lose have I? 'I hit it in the bunker on the first and made a good up and down there. Then I just made birdies when I gave myself an opportunity to make a birdie, apart from the last hole. 'I just kind of enjoy chasing. It's quite fun. I like it. It's more fun that way. I like hunting someone down.' England's Georgia Hall, Open winner in 2018, also climbed up the leaderboard, a four-under 68 leaving her tied in eighth place with Taiwan's Hsu Wei-ling (69) and Switzerland's Chiara Tamburlini (72). Lottie Woad, in just her second event as a professional after winning the Scottish Open last week, is a shot further back on three under after shooting a 71. The pre-tournament favourite from Surrey, who birdied the final hole after squandering several other chances, is among a group of seven tied in 11th after her one-under round alongside England's Mimi Rhodes (70). World number one Nelly Korda finished two over for the day after a 74 and sits in a group tied in 36th place, which includes New Zealand's defending champion Lydia Ko (70).

Cut-throat NFL roster cull pits Australian pair against each other with millions at stake
There is a brutal ritual involving Australian punters that takes place this time of year in Louisiana's intense summer heat, near the bayous and swamps that are home to alligators and venomous cottonmouth snakes. It features former Australian rules footballers battling for a single $US3m NFL punting contract with the New Orleans Saints. This year's showdown began with Matt Hayball, a former Geelong Cat and the Saints' incumbent punter, against James Burnip, a 198cm rookie from Mount Macedon in Victoria, who just wrapped a standout punting career at the University of Alabama. The Saints complicated the battle this week by signing a third punter, American Kai Kroeger. Only one will survive final cuts on 26 August, when NFL teams must slash their training camp rosters from 90 players to 53. The winner will enjoy the spotlight and riches of playing in America's most popular sports league, while the losers will be unemployed and left with the long shot hope one of the other 31 NFL teams might need a punter. 'It's the nature of the NFL,' Hayball tells Guardian Australia from a boisterous Saints locker room inside the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in New Orleans. 'You're always competing for your position, and it's the same for every other player in this building.' This isn't Hayball's first showdown. Last year, he was the rookie and edged out West Australian and Saints incumbent punter Lou Hedley. A year before that, it was Hedley who was the rookie and ousted the incumbent, American punter Blake Gillikin. No NFL team has embraced Australian punters more than the Saints in recent years. They prize their mobility, toughness and versatile kicking skills, honed from years of booting a Sherrin on both feet. Special teams coordinator Phil Galiano even dubbed Hayball 'The Aussie Flash' last season after a successful fake punt saw him dash 11 yards for a first down. Despite the cutthroat stakes, Hayball and Burnip maintain a relaxed camaraderie. 'There's only going to be one punter at the end of camp, but it's friendly,' Burnip says. 'We still wake up, get a coffee together, eat, and head out to practice. We're trying to make each other better.' 'James is talented and a good dude,' says Hayball. 'It's a similar situation to last year with Lou. We're learning from each other while competing. But really, we're competing against ourselves.' Hayball and Burnip are graduates of ProKick Australia, the Melbourne-based punting academy that has sent several hundred former Australian rules footballers to play with US colleges. 'Matt was leaving ProKick for the US when I was just starting,' Burnip says. 'We kept in touch whenever he came back to Australia.' Like many before them, both endured the heartbreak of seeing their AFL dreams fade. Hayball was raised in Adelaide, played U18s as a midfielder with the West Adelaide Football Club and was drafted by Geelong in 2015. But after three years playing for the Cats in the second-tier VFL, he was delisted. He joined ProKick, secured a punting scholarship at Florida Atlantic University, and later transferred to Tennessee's Vanderbilt University. Burnip played junior footy in the Riddell District Football League, but when it became clear the AFL wasn't in his future, he pivoted. 'I found ProKick, and the rest is history,' he says. Burnip landed at US college football powerhouse Alabama in 2021, won the starting job under legendary coach Nick Saban, and became the Tide's punter for four seasons – although Saban often referred to him as a 'rugby player'. While Hayball enters the Saints camp as the incumbent and having led the NFL last season in punts downed inside the opponent's 20-yard line, recent history favours the rookie. The Saints have opted for the rookie punter in each of the last three training camp duels. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion Hayball is in the second year of a three-year, $US2.84m contract, so has already pocketed close to $US1m. Burnip, undrafted at April's NFL draft, quickly signed a three-year $US2.975m free agent deal with the Saints. But with just $US35,000 guaranteed, that's all Burnip will keep if cut later this month. Kroeger, also a rookie, has had a short and tumultuous NFL career. He punted for the University of South Carolina the past four years, also was undrafted in April, was signed by the New York Jets, waived on 27 July and picked up by the Saints four days later. They are all well aware of what Saints head coach Kellen Moore and Galiano are looking for. 'It's about consistency, hang time, distance, direction, getting the ball off quickly, and flipping the field,' Burnip says. 'If you can do those things, you'll have a pretty successful career.' Hayball says he is 'chasing perfection with every punt.' 'Last year I did a good job getting it inside the 20, but this year I want more plays down inside the 10 or five. Those can be game changers.' If Hayball wins the job and stays in New Orleans, he has one non-NFL goal: exploring the Louisiana swamps on an alligator sightseeing tour. 'I know [Saints kicker Blake] Grupe is into that kind of stuff, so I might tag along next time he goes,' Hayball says. When asked if Americans might expect him to go full Steve Irwin and jump out of the boat and wrestle an alligator, he grins. 'Nah, I couldn't see myself doing that. Even though our crocs are way bigger in Australia, I still wouldn't want to share the water with them.'
