    King Charles snubs Taylor Swift with controversial decision that Travis Kelce and Prince William would not be happy with

    King Charles III is offering a rare glimpse into his personal music preferences, showcasing a diverse and eclectic playlist as part of a new Apple Music program, The King’s Music Room. The special, which premieres on March 10, allows listeners to explore Charles’ deep appreciation for various musical genres, all while he shares personal anecdotes and reflections on the significance of certain songs.

    His preferences may disappoint his son, Prince William, as one of his favorite singers, Taylor Swift, has not been included in the playlist, one which is largely Commonwealth-themed, featuring artists from around the world, including Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Beyonce and Miriam Makeba.

    As he introduces each song, Charles’ enthusiasm for music and storytelling shines through, revealing that the monarch has a remarkably engaging radio voice.

    King Charles’ playlist

    Among his favorite tracks, Bob Marley & The Wailers’ Could You Be Loved stands out for its infectious energy and deep sincerity. Charles recalls Marley’s words about giving people a voice. Diana Ross‘ Upside Down brings back memories of his younger days when he found it impossible not to dance to the song.

    Beyonce’s Crazy in Love is another notable choice, with Charles expressing gratitude for her support of his charity, The King’s Trust, and congratulating her on her recent Grammy win. Grace Jones’ La Vie En Rose holds sentimental value as he and Queen Camilla have known Jones for years, recalling a recent meeting at St. James’s Palace.

    His travels have also influenced his playlist. Daddy Lumba’s Mpempem Do Me reminds him of his 2018 visit to Ghana, where he found himself dancing along.

    He expresses admiration for Afrobeats through Davido’s KANTE, appreciating the growing global popularity of pidgin English. Arrow’s Hot, Hot, Hot takes him back to Montserrat and the warmth of the Caribbean climate.

    Some songs carry deep family memories. Al Bowlly’s The Very Thought of You reminds him of his beloved grandmother, who often played music from the 1920s and 1930s.

    Dame Kiri Te Kanawa’s E Te Iwi E (Call To The People) is especially sentimental, as the New Zealand opera singer performed it at his wedding to Princess Diana.

  • Taylor Swift gets made fun of by Bill Maher and Travis Kelce is the reason for it

    Taylor Swift gets made fun of by Bill Maher and Travis Kelce is the reason for it

    Given her global fame and how much weight her name carries, Taylor Swift is very used to famous people talking and gossiping about her. It comes with the territory of being so successful, but Swift has kept a clean record for her part, making it difficult for media personalities to find faults and exploit them for views.

    There is one thing that perhaps stands out about Swift, although it’s an aspect of her life that isn’t fully fleshed out. Swift has made it a theme in her music to talk about past boyfriends and relationships, which has made some believe she dates around a lot. In reality, she hasn’t had that many partners in recent times, and was dating Joe Alwyn for around seven years before Travis Kelce. But that doesn’t stop talking heads from making jokes.

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark rumors in resurfaced club video

    Bill Maher takes dig at Taylor Swift’s dating history

    That’s what Bill Maher did on his show over the weekend, monologuing that President Donald Trump took “three weeks to break up with Ukraine and Mexico, and Canada“, but Swift has been able to date Kelce for over a year.

    It’s a harmless joke, but one that may not actually be based on truths. It’s possible Swift uses relationships from way back for a lot of her songs. She may even draw inspiration from relationships that weren’t hers. After all, whatever she’s doing is working, because her albums continue to sell like hotcakes.

    Kelce, meanwhile, is still getting used to the newfound media attention. He isn’t totally new to it, as he’s been one of the best players in the NFL for over a decade, and his podcast made him an Internet sensation even before Swift came into his life. But he likely wouldn’t have gotten a call-out from Maher were it not for Swift.

    Rob Gronkowski is fed up with the Travis Kelce comparison and gives a thousand reasons to 'get away' from him

    In the NFL comparing tight ends is something usual. Every generations has its debate and for the last couple of months its was time for the Rob Gronkowski vs Travis Kelce debate. But Gronk is officially done with the comparison.

    There’s plenty of talks between who had the better career. Rob was often regarded as the best blocking tight end in history, while Kelce continues to produce at the highest level at age 35.

    Travis Kelce opens up about his decision to return for year 13 with the Chiefs

    After Kelce’s announcement that he’s coming back for the next season. Julian Edelman put Gronk on the spot during there podcast Dudes on Dudes and the future hall of famer completely shut down the debate.

    Edelman asked the former Patriot TE about the comparison and Gronk believed there’s no debate. “It’s not a comparison. I mean, you can compare us, but we’re two different players, to tell you the truth. It all depends on what type of scheme you’re in”.

    It’s not a comparison. I mean, you can compare us, but we’re two different players, to tell you the truth. It all depends on what type of scheme you’re in”.

    Gron about his comparison with Travis Kelce.

    Kelce has 1,004 receptions and has been Patrick Mahomes’ go-to receiver for various seasons now, but Gronk still has 15 more touchdowns than Kelce in the NFL. There’s no doubt that both of them have made a career worth of the Hall of Fame.

  • Emmanuel Acho 'puts out' Travis Kelce flame with tough advice to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes

    Emmanuel Acho 'puts out' Travis Kelce flame with tough advice to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes

    Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho has suggested that Kansas City Chiefs needs to change its plans if it is to snatch back the Super Bowl next season.

    The Chiefs were on the cusp of history last month as they came into the Super Bowl against the Eagles, knowing that a win would make them the first team to ever win three Super Bowls in a row.

    The Eagles won handsomely and the Chiefs have been licking their wounds since, which much of the focus on whether Kelce will retire and if Andy Reid will step away from his post.

    Neither of those two things has ended up happening, but Acho thinks that some reflection is still needed if they are to avoid making the same mistakes.

    “Travis Kelce needs to be the icing, not the cake. Let’s build a team that can win a Super Bowl without Travis Kelce and be glad that we have Travis Kelce,” Acho said on FS1’s ‘The Facility’.

    “We need to stop depending on Kelce to go for 10-plus touchdowns. I don’t want to depend on him to beat man coverage anymore, because the tape suggested he’s not as good doing that at 35, 36 as he was at 25, 26. And that’s fair. I don’t think the Chiefs should still depend on Kelce to be that guy,” he added.

    Kelce is sticking around

    Despite so much speculation, Kelce will be sticking with the Chiefs for another season and he recently explained his decision on the New Heights Podcast.

    “I think the biggest thing is that I f-king love playing the game of football,” Kelce said. “I still feel like I can play at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. 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. I want to give it a good run. I have a bad taste in my mouth in how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was for the people around me. And I love so many people in Kansas City, both in that facility and in the community, and it’s home for me.

    “I don’t want leave that life yet. I’ve put on a lot of hard work and a lot of focus into being the best that I can for KC. Last year, it didn’t end well for us and I feel like there is a responsibility in me to play out the contract I initially signed to give Kansas City and the Chiefs organization everything I’ve got and that’s what I’m gonna do, man.”

  • Here's how Travis Kelce won over Taylor Swift: He got her number and made the first move

    Here's how Travis Kelce won over Taylor Swift: He got her number and made the first move

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance has been one of the most talked-about celebrity relationships in recent memory.

    New details are emerging about how it all began, including confirmation that Kelce made the first move and that the couple had already been dating before Swift’s first appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023.

    According to a source exclusively speaking to Parade, Swift and Kelce began talking in August 2023. It was Kelce who initiated contact, with the insider confirming that he “got her number and made the first move.”

    This aligns with what Swift revealed in her TIME “Person of the Year” interview in December 2023, where she shared that their relationship quietly began after Kelce called her out on his podcast, New Heights.

    “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that,” Swift told TIME.

    “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard-launch a first date.”

    Timeline confusion

    The timeline of their relationship has been a topic of speculation, especially after reality TV star Wes Bergmann claimed that he knew about their romance months before it became public.

    Bergmann, who appeared on The Traitors, previously stated that he was aware of the relationship before Swift’s public debut at a Chiefs game in September 2023 because he was Kelce’s neighbor.

    However, in a statement posted on X on March 4, he walked back his claims, acknowledging that Kelce didn’t even move into the luxury Kansas City apartment complex until November 2023-two months after Swift’s first public outing in support of him.

    “We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” Swift explained in her TIME interview.

  • Injured player's sacrifice at NFL Combine puts him on Chiefs' radar

    Injured player's sacrifice at NFL Combine puts him on Chiefs' radar

    The Kansas City Chiefs received some good news last week when Travis Kelce announced he would be returning next season.

    It comes after weeks of speculation over the 35-year-old’s future, as questions hung over the star tight end following the Chiefs’ heavy defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

    Kelce’s return certainly means the Chiefs will continue to be one of the most covered teams next season, as his relationship with music sensation Taylor Swift will no doubt bring plenty of eyes to the game.

    However, on the field, the Chiefs may have to readjust how they use the future Hall of Famer, who showed signs of slowing down last season.

    That means the Chiefs could use the upcoming NFL Draft to address life after Kelce. Tyler Warren is one name attracting plenty of attention, but with Kansas City drafting down at No.31, the former Penn State star will be long gone by that point.

    Player grabs headlines at the NFL Combine

    One player who could be on the Chiefs’ radar is former Texas tight end Gunnar Helm.

    The tight end didn’t turn heads after a less than impressive showing in the 40-yard-dash, but it’s what came after that has everyone talking.

    Pictures showed Helm was running with a sprained ankle, and while it doesn’t mean he would have delivered a stellar 40-yard-dash time, it does show teams that he has enough toughness to play in the league.

    Aside from that, Helm has shown himself to be one of the better pass-catching prospects in the draft. He may not excel in run-blocking, and that will have to improve if he wants to become more than a TE2 on any team.

    However, his ability to perform despite carrying a pretty gruesome injury may be enough to keep Helm from dropping all the way down to Day 3, and could be enough to have the Chiefs take him as the heir to Kelce.

  • Patrick Mahomes had the perfect wordless response to Travis Kelce returning for “The Last Dance”

    Patrick Mahomes had the perfect wordless response to Travis Kelce returning for “The Last Dance”

    One domino has fallen in the Kansas City Chiefs‘ offseason game. In fact, the most important domino of all was the one that fell. Travis Kelce will return to the team for the 2025 season, despite reports that he heavily weighed retirement at 35 years old.

    Given how long it took for Kelce to ultimately decide on coming back, it’s fair to wonder if he would have rode off into the sunset if the Chiefs had won Super Bowl LIX instead of losing to the Philadelphia Eagles. Regardless, it’s great news for a Chiefs team that could see some major roster turnover this offseason. Getting an iconic captain like Kelce back will help make everything easier.

    Travis Kelce is back! The Kansas CIty TE is coming back for the 2025 season

    Patrick Mahomes channels Michael Jordan for Travis Kelce news

    He won’t be alone, of course. Veteran Chris Jones will be back to lead the defense. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes will have a chip on his shoulder following a disappointing overall season for him. Mahomes knows what Kelce means to the team, and his first response to the news of Kelce returning drove fans wild.

    Mahomes uses the memorable clip of Michael Jordan‘s security guard, John Michael Wozniak, hitting the famous MJ “shrug”. It appears clear that 2025 will be Kelce’s “The Last Dance” moment.

    Kelce, Mahomes and the Chiefs will be hoping it ends with another Super Bowl. A legendary player like Kelce deserves to finish his career on the highest note in the sport.

  • Chiefs GM sends strong message on future of two stars-but what about Travis Kelce?

    Chiefs GM sends strong message on future of two stars-but what about Travis Kelce?

    While most NFL teams scramble to finalize their rosters for 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs appear to be playing a different game entirely. Instead of focusing solely on immediate concerns, General Manager Brett Veach is taking a long-term approach, setting the stage for what could be a crucial offseason for the franchise.

    But while discussions are already underway regarding extensions for two key defensive players, one major question still looms over the team’s future-one that involves one of the franchise’s biggest stars.

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spark rumors in resurfaced club video

    The Chiefs are already making moves to secure their core for the future, and two names have emerged at the top of their priority list: cornerback Trent McDuffie and defensive end George Karlaftis. Both players, drafted in 2022, have quickly become foundational pieces of Kansas City’s defense, making their contract status a hot topic of discussion.

    Veach recently addressed the situation, revealing that securing new deals for McDuffie and Karlaftis is on the team’s agenda. “That’ll be on the list of things to do,” he said, noting that the front office will first work through free agency before shifting focus to contract extensions later in the offseason. If everything goes as planned, negotiations could ramp up following the NFL Draft.

    However, there’s an added layer of urgency. With their rookie contracts set to expire after the 2025 season, Kansas City will need to decide whether to exercise their fifth-year options by May 1. The price tag won’t be cheap-those options are projected to cost the Chiefs nearly $28 million combined in 2026, putting additional pressure on the team to explore long-term deals sooner rather than later.

    But while McDuffie and Karlaftis remain at the center of Kansas City’s long-term planning, there’s another contract situation that fans can’t ignore-one that could have a massive impact on the team’s immediate future.

    Even as the Chiefs work to lock in key pieces of their defense, the biggest storyline remains unresolved. Travis Kelce’s future has been a topic of speculation for months, and while the star tight end hasn’t made any official announcements, all signs indicate that the Chiefs are expecting him back for another season.

    Veach recently provided insight into Kelce’s status, stating that the veteran remains fully engaged. “How we left it at the end of the season is that he was fired up,” Veach said. “I still think he has that fire and desire to play.” The GM added that, as of now, there’s no specific deadline for Kelce to make a final decision.

    At 35 years old, Kelce is at a crossroads. Retirement rumors have swirled, especially given his increasing presence outside of football. Between a booming media career, a popular podcast, and his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, the future Hall of Famer has plenty of options beyond the field. But despite these distractions, Kelce hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down, and the Chiefs are preparing as if he’ll be part of their plans in 2024.

    One key factor? Kelce is due an $11.5 million roster bonus on March 15, meaning a decision will likely be made before then. Head coach Andy Reid, for his part, has encouraged Kelce to take time before making a commitment. “That’s up to Travis,” Reid said. “At this point, get out of town and relax. They’ve played a lot of games over the years. You get to the end, and you’ve exhausted yourself mentally and physically.”

    The KC defense is in prime position to bounce back

    Despite falling short in their quest for a third straight Super Bowl, the Chiefs remain in position to contend next season. With McDuffie and Karlaftis emerging as future defensive anchors and Kelce seemingly prepared for another run, Kansas City’s blueprint for sustained success appears to be taking shape.

    But as history has shown, nothing in the NFL is guaranteed-and until Kelce officially makes his decision, the Chiefs’ biggest offseason storyline remains far from settled.

  • Chiefs think they could 'make up' for Travis Kelce's departure with another player already on team

    Chiefs think they could 'make up' for Travis Kelce's departure with another player already on team

    The Kansas City Chiefs is still not entirely sure whether Travis Kelce will be available for the 2025 NFL season, but they could already have a player who would make a departure easier.

    There are strong suggestions that Kelce could retire from the sport following the Super Bowl defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

    The tight end is taking some time away to reflect on the decision whilst spending time with his partner, Taylor Swift.

    The 35-year-old has been given until March 14 to decide and the fact that it is taking so long to decide shows that retirement is a genuine possibility for Kelce.

    He has not excelled over the past year in the way that he has in the past, totaling 823 yards and three touchdowns from 97 receptions. The numbers are still good, but he has produced better in the past.

    Who could replace Travis Kelce?

    The Chiefs have to start planning for the eventuality that Kelce is not at Andy Reid‘s disposal, and ESPN’s Mima Kimes thinks that there is already a player on the Chiefs roster who could soften the blow of Kelce retiring.

    “I think it’s a big loss. I also think, though, getting Rashee Rice, depending on his health, might compensate for that in some ways,” Kimes said on The Mina Kimes Show. “I think the loss of Rashee Rice was kind of slept on.”

    Rice suffered a serious knee injury against the Los Angeles Chargers and since then, he has only managed to make four appearances. Before that injury, Rice was in very respectable form, having 288 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 71 receiving yards per game.

    Perhaps Kelce retiring could be the boost that Rice needs to finally fulfil his undoubted potential and become an important player for the Chiefs on a regular basis.

  • Travis Kelce's new friend Taylor Swift is sure to hate: Will their relationship survive Travis' impulsive decision?

    Travis Kelce's new friend Taylor Swift is sure to hate: Will their relationship survive Travis' impulsive decision?

    What happens when a dog person falls in love with a cat person? Well, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are about to find out. A recent life decision by the Kansas City Chiefs tight end could put his relationship with the pop superstar, whose love for felines seems to be beyond measure, at risk.

    The famous couple has been through all kinds of situations that have put their relationship to the test. From being on opposite sides of the world for their jobs to Swift’s recent booing at the Super Bowl, their relationship has gone through some pretty stressful times.

    However, former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce just revealed an unexpected decision by his younger brother that could turn his relationship with the famous singer upside down.

    Travis’ new best friend

    In a recent chat on the Fitz & Whit podcast, the elder Kelce recounted that on a visit to Travis’ house, he saw some very expensive new green velvet couches. However, “I come back maybe six months after that, and one of the couches is pushed against the wall.”

    When Jason asked his brother why he moved the couch, the answer left him speechless. “He just got a puppy,” Jason said with a laugh. “The puppy had chewed a hole in the back of it,” the former Eagles center explained.

    It’s normal for a puppy to need some training to stop it from destroying its human’s things, but that’s easily fixed. The real problem is that Travis’ new furry friend might not fit into the life of the world’s most famous cat lady, his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

    Taylor and cats

    By now, most of the world knows that Swift is the proud owner of three cats: Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button. The three felines are a constant presence on the singer’s social media, and Benjamin even joined her on the cover of Time magazine’s Person of the Year issue.

    While Taylor has never shown any dislike for dogs, it remains to be seen how her furry life partners react when they inevitably meet Travis’ pup. Relationships have ended for less. What will the lovebirds do if their four-legged friends don’t get along? We’ll probably find out soon enough.
