Taylor Swift, while accepting the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, announced that her new album “The Tortured Poets Decomponentment” will be released on April 19. Travis Kelce didn’t need to reveal too much, but said he’d heard part of the album.
“It’s unbelievable,” he said, Kelce. No I can’t wait for him to turn the world upside down when he still falls.

On Monday’s opening night of Super Bowl LVIII, Travis Kelce attracted a giant organization of media members. Not long before the Kansas City Chiefs tight end asked him about his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, the music superstar who won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year on Sunday night.
“She’s rewriting the history books,” Kelce said of Swift’s Grammy Awards. “I told him he had to comply with the reduced price and bring some things home as well. “
Swift’s first appearance at an NFL game this season was on Sept. 23, 2023, when she sat in a box at Arrowhead Stadium watching Kelce and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. Since then, Swift has attended several Chiefs games, adding to her playoff wins. Kelce praised Swift’s “incredible fan base” for “following and supporting her life. “
“It’s been fun to bring the Swifties together in the Kingdom of the Chiefs,” Kelce said, “to open them up to the world of football. “

At October’s Global Gaming Conference, Amy Howe, CEO of FanDuel, and Jason Robins, CEO of DraftKings, said the stakes on Travis Kelce were rising with Swift on the scene.
Legal sportsbooks in the States are limited to bets more closely related to the outcome of the game and action on the field with some notable exceptions like betting on the Gatorade color in certain states. So, while Swifties and football fans in the U.S. won’t be able to bet on Swift herself, there are plenty of props you can use to guide your party prop sheet.

A climate technology company based in Los Alamos, N.M., says it has committed to removing the carbon emissions from Taylor Swift’s presumed jet flight from Japan to the U.S. for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
According to Spiritus, the one-way flight could cover about 5,500 miles and produce an estimated 40 tons of carbon emissions, which it said it will offset using its technology “that mimics aspects of the human lung.”
“We actually take the CO2 directly out of the air and store it away, which is different from the idea of traditional offsets, which is paying someone else not to emit,” Spiritus co-founder and CEO Charles Cadieu said. “And if you just pay someone else not to emit, you still have the CO2 you emitted in the air.”
Cadieu said Spiritus uses technology to take CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it underground. Spiritus typically works with corporations and has had big purchases from technology companies like Stripe and Shopify, according to Cadieu.
There is no contract in place with Swift, but Cadieu said he hopes the commitment will raise awareness of his mission.
“I think we’re just hoping to draw some attention to this concept of carbon removal, which is independent of offsetting and creates that 0-net impact. . . which is what everyone is looking to achieve here,” he said. Cadieu declared.

Usher said the show will last 13 minutes and will feature a set list that summarizes the “past, offering and future” of his 30-year career. He said his upcoming album “Coming Home,” out Friday, will be included in the set and made sure to point out that he will be the first independent artist (meaning he is no longer signed to a label) to appear on the Headlines.
“I’m very aware of my past, I celebrate my present and I think about where we’ll spend in the future,” Usher said.
The eight-time Grammy Award winner said he incorporated his recent Las Vegas residency into his halftime performance, adding roller skating.
“I was born out of the confidence that I could come to this city and do something amazing, and it happened,” he said of his residency. “I now intend to share some of the power I’ve created here with the rest of the world. “

Usher hints that the Super Bowl halftime show could feature special guests

Usher didn’t make any major confessions at his Super Bowl halftime news conference on Thursday, but hinted that some guests might sign up to see him on stage.
“I think I made it simple for me when I featured articles about songs that have become hit records,” Usher told Nadeska Apple Music’s Alexis, who moderated the press conference, about the attitude of the guest artists.
“I had a lot of concepts about who would have shared that moment with me. I feel like the other people who are going to share it deserve so much popularity for what they do in their careers.
Alexis asked Usher if he had any idea about the visitors when he booked the halftime show, and he smiled and simply replied, “Of course,” making the crowd laugh.
Usher has collaborated with many artists throughout his career, including Ludacris, Lil Jon, Alicia Keys, and Justin Bieber. Ludacris and Lil Jon filmed an Apple Music music video featuring actress Taraji P. Henson teasing the halftime show, leading enthusiasts to speculate whether the two rappers would perform with Usher on Sunday.
Usher made sure to avoid giving too much away at his press conference, which was to be expected considering he only answered previously approved questions from Alexis and a few more questions from visitors in the audience who also thanked Apple Music.

There are tons of traditional and unorthodox bets you can place on every Super Bowl, but there’s nothing better than a smart, old-fashioned square bet. There’s something magical about researching “your” numbers while imagining intricate scenarios that would allow you to benefit from them.
“I need the 49ers to score a touchdown here, then have the Chiefs score a field goal and then no one score for the rest of the quarter. Easy.”
It’s also a good way to turn a game in which you don’t have a rooting interest into something you’re invested in. That’s usually true of betting in general, but there’s something carefree and almost innocent about squares. There’s no buyer’s remorse because you didn’t get to pick your numbers (outside of playing squares at a sportsbook where all the odds are intentionally against you). And because you can’t pick your numbers, there’s no skill or knowledge required. You want to play? You have as good of a shot as anyone else — until the squares are assigned.
Check out my article below to find out which seats you’d like to have on Super Bowl Sunday.

An account executive at Paramount Business Jets, which offers charter flights on personal jets around the world but is not affiliated with Taylor Swift’s plans, said that as of Jan. 26, there were no slots available to land on Las Vegas Super Bowl weekend.
“I have 4 clients who wanted to fly to the Super Bowl and we had to cancel their trips because no one could get the right times to land in Las Vegas,” the account manager said.
Swift’s travel plans are not clear, and she hasn’t publicly confirmed she will attend the Super Bowl. An email to her publicist was not immediately returned.
Even if Swift doesn’t land in Las Vegas, she may just fly into Los Angeles, either to LAX Airport or Van Nuys Airport, and the rest of the way.
In this scenario, the flight would be about forty-five minutes shorter to Los Angeles, or a flight of about nine hours and forty-five minutes.
A drive from LAX to Allegiant Stadium takes 4 to hours, depending on stops and traffic.
