In a new episode of the New Heights podcast — which he hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce — Travis addressed Swift’s latest appearance over the weekend with her famous pals. The telecast included Swift-themed promos, which, reportedly, the audience booed at. The cameras repeatedly cut to the star-studded suite throughout the game, further angering football fans. Wednesday’s (October 4) New Heights episode is titled with a reference to Swift’s 2019 Lover track, “You Need to Calm Down.”Jason asks his younger brother, “Is the NFL overdoing it? What is your honest opinion?” To which the Kansas City Chiefs tight-end says, “I think everybody is just, like, overwhelmed.” In typical big brother fashion, Jason teases, “Take away your feelings for Taylor. What is your honest opinion on how the NFL is treating celebrities at the games?” Travis, 33, then admits that despite finding it “fun” to see stars at the game, he admits that, especially in his situation, the NFL is “overdoing it a little bit, for sure.” He adds, “I think they’re just trying to have fun with it.”NBC had Taylor-themed promos, a segment featuring Carson Daly and The Voice explaining football to Swifties, and plenty of references to the singer throughout the night. NBC had a massive ratings boost with about 27 million viewers and topped off at around 29 million during the second quarter, according to Deadline. Jason notes in the podcast episode that two million of those viewers were said to be female. “That’s gotta be an NFL record right there,” he says. “I think a few of them might have been there for Deadpool and, uh, Taylor.”The brothers also thanked their mom, Donna Kelce, for attending both the Eagles and Chiefs games in different cities just hours apart. “She’s been on top of the f—ing world, man,” Travis said. He added that his mom also thanked him for the opportunity to spend time with Swift and her pals at the games. “She also told me thank you because she was in an alternate universe. She was sitting there with Deadpool and Wolverine.” He added, “That suite was rockin’. They were enjoying themselves. Somebody told me that everybody was enjoying themselves in that suite.”The Super Bowl is not only the biggest event every year in the sporting world, but the Halftime Show is also the biggest entertainment event. Even though the Halftime show is under 15 minutes, it is talked about months in advance. And if the performance is successful, it’ll be talked about for years afterward. Only the biggest names in music have had the honor to grace the Super Bowl stage: Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Aerosmith, *NSYNC, Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Who, Prince, the Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Beyonce, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry and The Weeknd, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem and 50 Cent.Last year’s Super Bowl LVII show took place in Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium, and featured Rihanna. Fans who were hotly anticipating new music were given another surprise by the “Diamonds” singer. Debuting her pregnant belly, the artist’s performance wasn’t as electrifying as anticipated due to her inability to do any crazy choreography. The show’s elevated stages and backup dancers tried to compensate for that. As with any pop artist, people online were criticizing her choice of wardrobe and debated on whether or not she was pregnant, as she waited until after the show to confirm it. Though this wasn’t the comeback we wanted from Rihanna, it was still great to watch her perform for the first time in years.For Super Bowl 2024, it has been announced that R&amp;B superstar Usher will be heading the halftime show. Back in April, he told Access Hollywood that he “would be a fool to say no” to headline the Super Bowl, a “bucket list” dream of his. Usher has sold over 23 million albums and 38 million digital songs in the United States. With over 80 million records sold worldwide, the “There Goes My Baby” singer is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, and we cannot wait for his performance. But it’s never too early to discuss who might take the stage for Super Bowl LIX.
