TAYLOR SWIFT SKIPPED THE CHIEFS GAME, EXCEPT SHE WENT TO THE CHIEFS GAME

TAYLOR SWIFT SKIPPED THE CHIEFS GAME, EXCEPT SHE WENT TO THE CHIEFS GAME

Shane Gillis hosted SNL on October 10 and spent a chunk of his monologue on how women dress at the gym, including calling them "whores." Kelce, 37, liked the show's Instagram clip of it. Swifties audit that account like forensic accountants, so the screenshots were up almost immediately. The defense arrived through the usual channel. A source close to Kelce told Page Six he's always been a massive fan of the show and was supporting a friend. Fans came back with receipts about which monologues he had not bothered to like. Supporting a friend, sure. Just not every friend. Then the gossip mill got greedy. Columnist Rob Shuter reported that Swift, 36, and Kelce were taking time apart, and that she would skip the Chiefs home game against the Chargers, with a source insisting the weekend was about Taylor and her career. Every word of that came from people who would not give their names. On Sunday she flew in from the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles, sat in a suite at Arrowhead in a red Louis Vuitton turtleneck with Caitlin Clark and Este Haim, and hugged Donna Kelce. Kansas City won 22-9 and moved to 5-0. The trial separation lasted about seventy-two hours and was never real. The only piece anybody actually stood behind was the like, and the confirmation came from Kelce's own camp explaining it.

Why you should give a shit: A marriage got reported as cracked by one unnamed tipster and a heart icon, and the correction was Swift in a red turtleneck hugging her mother in law at Arrowhead, so maybe wait for a named human to say a word before you book the funeral.
