Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live to introduce her friend Ice Spice, who was the musical guest.
Swift followed Travis Kelce’s cameo earlier in the show in a parody of the excessive NFL coverage the singer and the Kansas City Chiefs have been getting.
The Wildest Dreams singer has been having a wild week following the premiere of The Eras Tour concert film. Swift has dominated the box office with a “near-record opening day for October with $39M” with estimates of a $90M-$109M weekend.
Aside from Swift’s concert film, the star has been dominating the headlines with her rumored romance with football star Kelce. Although neither Swift nor Kelce have confirmed they are in a relationship, the couple have been spending a lot of time together. The songwriter has attended three Chiefs games, hung out with Kelce’s mom while watching the games...

The players gonna play, play, play, play, play – but not all of them have Taylor Swift rooting for them. In case you’ve been living in the Carolina Panthers’ end zone this year, 12-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift is apparently dating two-time Super Bowl champ Travis Kelce. But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has criticized the NFL for over-publicizing the budding romance, forcing the league to call an audible and speak out against one of its stars.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the NFL stated, “We frequently change our bios and profile imagery based on what’s happening in and around our games, as well as culturally,” referring to changing their Instagram bio to read “chiefs are 2-0 as swifties” and even adding “Taylor’s Version” to their X handle. “The Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce news has been a pop cultural moment we’ve leaned into in real time,...

The NFL is defending its decision to spotlight Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, who have sparked romance rumors, amid recent backlash from some football fans.
For the past two Sundays, Sept. 24 and Oct. 1, the pop star has shown up at the Kansas City Chiefs games, leading to quite a frenzy on social media. Following her appearances, the NFL has played along with the extra attention the singer has brought the league, including changing its bio on official NFL social accounts as well as posting additional photos of Swift.
Most recently, after the Chiefs beat the New York Jets, 23-20, in a controversial victory, the NFL’s Instagram bio read, “chiefs are 2-0 as swifties,” acknowledging how many times Swift has attended the tight end’s games. The NFL also wrote “NFL (Taylor’s Version)” in its bio on X (formerly Twitter).
Although the Swift references were removed the following day after each game,...

Sunday Night Football hasn’t been the same since Taylor Swift popped into the Kansas City Chiefs’ family and friends box two weekends ago amid rumors that she’s dating tight end Travis Kelce. And anyone who thought the festivities of Swifties explaining football to unfamiliar fans and puns about the singer eating chicken tenders with seemingly ranch would die down after a few days were sorely mistaken — and that include Kelce himself.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce told his brother Jason on their “New Heights” podcast that the NFL is going a bit overboard when it comes to Taylor Swift coverage. Update: The NFL has responded.
The Grammy-winning pop star and Kelce have captured the media zeitgeist in recent weeks amid dating rumors. While neither of them have outright confirmed they are in a relationship, Swift has caused a media frenzy by recently attending two Kansas City Chiefs games. She was joined by famous friends like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Sophie Turner and more at the Chiefs’ Oct. 1 game against the New York Jets, as the NFL broadcast frequently cut to Swift in the stands.
“Is the NFL overdoing it?” Jason asked Travis on the podcast. “Take away your feelings for Taylor Swift.”
“I think it’s fun when they show who all is at the game,” Travis answered.

ESPN’s “Toy Story”-themed alternative live stream of Sunday’s Jaguars-Falcons game was incredibly ambitious, and it showed early on in the form of technical issues.
The stream was available on both Disney+ and ESPN+. That is, if you could get in. I was able to log in on my second or third try after fully restarting my TV; a colleague gave up after five minutes of continuous trying. Those who joined halfway (or more) through the first quarter probably had the best viewer experience.
Ball-tracking was the first noticeable challenge and the most consistent issue throughout the game. At times, the football would just appear on random spots of the carpet (field) or slide around the playing surface on its own. Sometimes The Claw, playing the role of umpire in Andy’s room, never even spotted the ball at the line of scrimmage.
Catches were occasionally presented as drops,...

The Toy Story gang is hitting the gridiron for a special collaboration between Disney, ESPN and the NFL called Toy Story Funday Football that will put today’s Atlanta Falcons-Jacksonville Jaguars game live inside of Andy’s bedroom.

The NFL goes to “Infinity and Beyond” when the October 1 football match-up between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars instantly transforms into a real-time animated simulcast set in the “Toy Story” world. Thanks to a first-time collaboration between ESPN, Disney/Pixar, and the NFL — and AI and animated tech — “Toy Story Funday Football” (streaming on Disney+ and ESPN+ at 9:30 a.m. Et) transports the game live from London’s Wembley Stadium to Andy’s room.
That’s where Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Bullseye, Bunny, Ducky, Forky, Green Aliens, Jesse, Rex, and Slinky Dog (sans voice talent) watch the animated toy versions of the players compete on a miniature field and react on the sidelines. There’s even a half-time daredevil motorcycle jump by “Toy Story 4” character Duke Caboom.
