Travis Kelce's absence at Taylor Swift's Lyon shows explained
Travis Kelce opted not to join his girlfriend Taylor Swift for her Eras Tour concerts in Lyon, France, as he chose to stay in the US following a busy weekend. On Saturday, Kelce participated in the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in Kansas City, where a skit with Jason Sudeikis humorously addressed his relationship with Swift. The day before, he celebrated the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl win at the White House. Despite his absence, Swift subtly acknowledged Kelce during her Lyon performance, smiling during a football-related lyric in her song 'Fifteen'. The couple, who last appeared publicly together in mid-May in Italy, plans to reunite soon, though the exact timing remains private. Kelce is expected to be in Europe later this month for a podcast recording, aligning with Swift's tour dates. A source noted that Kelce aims to see Swift as much as possible before his NFL training camp begins on July 23.

Travis Kelce's barber, Patrick Regan, recently shared his thoughts on Kelce's relationship with Taylor Swift during an appearance on the 'Your Day Off Podcast'. Regan, who has been friends with Kelce for years, described Swift as a down-to-earth person who doesn't act like a major celebrity. He praised her for being attentive and a good girlfriend to Kelce.
Since the couple started dating, Kelce's life has changed, including increased security and a move to a new home in Kansas City, which has slightly altered Regan's routine of visiting his friend. Despite these changes, Regan expressed happiness for Kelce's rising stardom and joked about the possibility of an upcoming wedding, saying it would be fun and hinting that he has received numerous plus-one requests for the hypothetical event.
Regan also revealed that Swift enjoys Kelce's haircut, often complimenting Regan's work. The barber has been cutting Kelce's hair for six years, traveling to Kansas City weekly during the NFL season to maintain the football star's signature fade.

Billy Corgan defends Taylor Swift's ambitious double album length
Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins has come to Taylor Swift's defense regarding the length of her 31-song double album, 'The Tortured Poets Department'. In an interview with The Irish Times on June 3, Corgan praised Swift's artistic ambition and dismissed criticism of the album's length.
Corgan, 57, emphasized Swift's status as one of the most gifted pop artists and questioned why releasing more music would be viewed negatively. He pointed to the convenience of skipping tracks on platforms like Spotify for those who find the album too lengthy. Drawing parallels to his band's recent three-part album, 'Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts', Corgan encouraged listeners to curate their own playlists if they prefer shorter albums. He criticized the hyperbolic reactions to lengthy albums and urged people to maintain a sense of proportionality.
Swift, 34, explained the double album's length was due to her prolific writing of "tortured poetry" over the past two years. She announced the surprise double album on Instagram in April, describing it as a collection of deeply personal work now shared with her fans.
Swift revealed the project while accepting the Album of the Year award for 'Midnights' at the 2024 Grammy Awards, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding 'The Tortured Poets Department'.
