The back-to-back Super Bowl winners secured the victory thanks to a bizarre early snap that led to a turnover as the Raiders were driving for the potentially game-winning field goal.
Taylor Swift was in attendance, supporting her boyfriend Travis Kelce. The 14-time Grammy winner went through a lot of emotions over the course of the back-and-forth affair. After the game, the The Tortured Poets Department singer hung around to interact with fans.
Swift was seen leaning out the open window of the suite, greeting fans and taking photos. It was a perfect ending for Kansas City Swifties.
The Kansas City tight end proved once again that you have to have your head on a swivel with a perfect pitch to teammate Samaje Perine on Friday. It was 3rd & 10 on the play, with just over four minutes left in a first quarter that saw the back-to-back Super Bowl champs tied with the Raiders 3-3.
The lateral earned Kansas City a first down, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes would end the drive with a 6-yard pass to Justin Watson that gave the home team a touchdown lead.
Kelce’s girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, absolutely loved it, mimicking her beau’s first down signal after the play.
Swift is back in Kansas City to support boyfriend Travis Kelce.
It’s Black Friday, which means daytime NFL action for the second year in a row.
The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting an AFC West rival in the Las Vegas Raiders in Arrowhead Stadium, and pop star Taylor Swift made her triumphant return for the game. The Eras Tour star had been absent for the Chiefs’ recent road games, but made it back to support boyfriend Travis Kelce against the Raiders. With just three shows remaining of the wildly popular concert series, Swift will likely be able to be at a lot more of the remaining games for the Chiefs.
Swift arrived in a bright red Louis Vuitton jacket for the game, alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna. The The Tortured Poets Department singer paired the jacket with black pants, a red purse, black platform boots and a high, braided ponytail.
Billboard’s completely unforced error rightfully landed them in hot water.
Billboard has been rolling out its ranking of the Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century, naming Taylor Swift in the No. 2 spot on Tuesday.
In the video created to celebrate the 34-year-old’s achievements, Billboard made the baffling decision to include a clip from Kanye West’s music video for the song “Famous” where he included a wax figurine of a naked Swift and the line “I made that [expletive] famous.”
The music magazine faced massive backlash online for the unforced and head-scratching error as the duo have a fraught history, dating back to 2009 when West interrupted Swift on stage at the MTV Music Awards.
Understandably, fans of the singer were furious. Billboard eventually deleted the video and re-posted it without the clip on Wednesday, but it took until 1am ET — over a day later — on Thursday morning to issue an apology to the The Tortured Poets Department singer.
“We are deeply sorry to Taylor Swift and all of our readers and viewers that in a video celebrating Swift’s achievements, we included a clip that falsely depicted her,” Billboard said on social media. “We have removed the clip from our video and sincerely regret the harm we caused with this error.”
We are deeply sorry to Taylor Swift and all of our readers and viewers that in a video celebrating Swift’s achievements, we included a clip that falsely depicted her. We have removed the clip from our video and sincerely regret the harm we caused with this error.
Unsurprisingly, the noted 1989 fan went with something off that album.
Travis Kelce will not shy away from talking about his favorite Taylor Swift songs. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has been dating the mega pop star for over a year, and is a frequent attendee — and one-time performer — at her iconic Eras Tour.
Kelce and his big brother Jason have started the Heights Helpline as part of their New Heights podcast, and this week fielded a question from a listener about the Swift song they could listen to for the rest of their lives.
A noted 1989 fan, Travis unsurprisingly chose “Blank Space,” but listed a few more contenders. “‘Blank Space’ is a song I’ll always listen to forever, it’s just unbelievable,” Kelce said. He went on to add “Death By A Thousand Cuts,” “The Alchemy,” “So High School” and “Cowboy Like Me.”

Good morning, Winners! Thanks for reading TMW today. We appreciate your time.
You know who isn’t a winner? Drake. That’s who.
I don’t know if it’s possible that anyone thought he somehow “won” the beef with Kendrick Lamar, though I’d contend that beef isn’t something you win or lose. It’s just something you do.
But if there’s any doubt about who the bully is here in this tête-à-tête, yesterday should’ve erased it.
News broke that Drake is threatening to sue Universal Music Group and Spotify for allegedly artificially boosting streams on Kendrick Lamar’s bouncy-yet-visceral takedown track, “Not Like Us.”
Drake claims that UMG conspired with “paid and currently unknown parties” to use bots to “inflate the spread” of “Not Like Us” and paid influencers to boost the song on social media. The court documents also claim Universal used bots to spike the streaming numbers on Kendrick Lamar’s song directly and decreased the licensing fee on the song to allow the song to be recommended on streaming platforms more.
That was definitely all done organically, right? Riiiiiight. *wink wink*
It further cements the massive L the Canadian rapper took this summer. This is quite literally the equivalent of someone bringing their basketball to the park to play 1-on-1 and getting cooked so badly that, not only did they take their ball home, but they also called the police for some reason to report that their ankles had been stolen.
It’s corny. It doesn’t make any sense. “Not Like Us” is a great song regardless of streaming numbers. Those streams didn’t fill up the Forum in LA this summer and aren’t why people love that song so much. It’s legitimately a great song! No lawsuit is changing that.
Let this be a lesson to us all, folks. You reap what you sow. Don’t beg for the smoke if you’re not ready for it. And, if you get the smoke and it’s too much, please don’t contact your lawyers.
That’s wack.
Dan Hurley brings about his own downfall

UConn’s Men’s hoops team lost its first game of the season on Monday to an unranked Memphis team that it probably had no business losing to in the Maui Invitational.
The Huskies’ comeback effort fell short, in part because of the team’s head coach.
One thing about Dan Hurley? That man is always angry. And he never hesitates to let everyone know it — especially the officials. But, on Monday in the waning moments of the overtime period, the refs had had enough.
With the game tied at 92-92, Hurley got a technical foul with 40 seconds left to go in the game. He absolutely lost it because of an over-the-back foul call. Memphis’ P.J. Carter hit both free throws and the Tigers never looked back.
You’ve got to take the good with the bad with Hurley. This is a guy who won back-to-back championships for the Huskies. He’s impressive.
But, man, when it gets bad its seems to get really bad. Can you imagine this guy coaching LeBron James? Sheesh.
In the battle of the brothers Harbaugh, John remains the top dog after grabbing yet another win over his brother with the Ravens 30-23 win over the Chargers.
To be fair to Jim, they’ve only coached against each other three times in their collective 20 years of NFL coaching experience (of which John has 15).
Can we just take a second to appreciate how great these dudes are? They’ve both coached in the Super Bowl, obviously against one another. John has a Lombardi trophy. Jim has a National Championship with Michigan. The Harbaughs are football royalty. It’s nice to see them match up like this.
There’s a chance they’ll match up again this winter in the playoffs. I’m hoping for it.
The more Harbowls, the better.

With a break in her touring schedule, did the 14-time Grammy winner make the trip to Charlotte?
With a break in the Eras Tour schedule, there was a question as to whether pop icon Taylor Swift would make her first 2024 season appearance at a Chiefs road game to support boyfriend Travis Kelce. The 14-time Grammy winner just completed six shows at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, with the last three Eras Tour performances starting December 6 in Vancouver.
She wasn’t there in Sunday on the road for Kelce’s game against Carolina.
Swift skipped last week’s loss to the Bills in Buffalo, but she has been in attendance for several home games in Kansas City already this season.
There is still one more home game for the Chiefs this month — against the Raiders — so we may see Swift back at an NFL game soon.

The 14-time Grammy winner only has three more shows left of her mega popular concert.
Taylor Swift is nearing the end of her mega popular Eras Tour, with just three shows remaining in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The 14-time Grammy winner has been touring around the world for nearly two years, during which she has released three albums — Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), 1989 (Taylor’s Version) and The Tortured Poets Department — put out a tour movie that became the highest grossing concert film of all time and started a relationship with Kansas City Chief Travis Kelce.
Every show, the crowd follows her “Champagne Problems” performance with an extended ovation. The emotion of her tour drawing to a close overwhelmed the singer on Saturday night’s Toronto show, bringing Swift to tears as she spoke about what the experience has meant to her and her entire tour staff.
🚨| Taylor got so emotional and started crying during the last standing ovation in Toronto 🥹!
The Eras Tour is almost at a close, so it’s time for a few more surprise songs.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continued on Saturday night in Toronto with the sixth of nine total shows in Canada. The now 14-time Grammy winner has been touring almost non-stop for the entire year, and at each show she adds two “surprise songs” to her 44-song, three hour plus set list.
For her final night in Toronto, Swift once again went with the double mashups she loves so much. On guitar, Swift went with “Sparks Fly” from Speak Now combined with “Message In A Bottle” from Red (Taylor’s Version). On piano, Swift went with a mashup of “You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)” from Midnights (The Late Night Edition) and “How Did It End” from The Tortured Poets Department.

Kendrick Lamar dropped a surprise album, GNX, out of nowhere on Friday, and we’ve already got a fantastic meme from one of the new album’s best songs.
Lamar’s “tv off” is one of two excellent collaborations with Mustard on the record, and it’s that song where Lamar gives the legendary Los Angeles producer a delightful shoutout.
At certain points in the song, Lamar loudly yells “MUSTARD!” and holds the name just long enough to really make it a moment.
Lamar’s “MUSTARD!” exclamation turned into a very fast meme for the internet, as it’s just such an irresistible moment on a great album.
Here are some of the best “MUSTARD!” memes we’ve seen, including some given the seal of approval from the music producer himself.
