Travis Kelce Talks About His Bahamas Trip With Taylor Swift, Says She’s Influenced His Music Taste – Cosmopolitan

Travis Kelce is out here promoting something called the Kelce Jam (aka his music festival!!!), which means he's blessing everyone with a buncha interviews. And as much as we all want to know more about the Kelce Jam, we're obviously here for the Taylor Swift contentand Travis didn't hold back!

In response to Entertainment Tonight straight-up asking, Is it the Bahamian sun or the Bahamian love that has you just glowing right now, Travis said, You know what? Its just the lovely place down there, isnt it? You can get it all down there. All the love in the world.

Coy! But cute!

Meanwhile, Travis told the outlet that Taylor has hugely influenced his taste in music. Ahem: It's definitely been fun to experience her taste in music, for sure. She's so amazing at what she does. And to find that creativity to see where she likes to pull things from and just, really, how she listens to music is very eye-opening for me. It's been fun to hear her take on it.

I'll tell you what, I'm a real music lover and it goes all over the place, especially when it comes to a game day playlist because I go all over, he added. Things from my childhood. My high school pep band used to play 'SpottieOttieDopaliscious' from Outkast. On top of that, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz back in the day had a song called 'Duffle Bag Boy' and I loved that. I play everything, from the old school jock jams from being a little kid. It goes all over the place. It's definitely a variety of music. I just can't pick one thing.

And when it comes to Taylor Swift's tracks? That's my everyday playlist, he gushed. Not just my game day.

My heart? Just casually melting out here, NBD!

The Degenerate’s Gambit: 2023 Week 15 NFL Gambling Lines with Tony – Football Absurdity

Welcome back to The Degenerates Gambit! Once again, please remember that these articles are for fun, and while I love writing them and gambling on football, if you or someone you know is addicted and needs help, please get help or get help for them. The national helpline number is 1-800-522-4700.

Were here early this week, as Im trying to get all my writing, podcasting, and picks in before MY WEDDING on Saturday. The powers behind Big Wedding have conspired to have my nuptials in the first week of the fantasy playoffs, so while Ill be tying the knot with the love of my life, its also a great excuse to not have to sit through the Bengals and Vikings fumble their way around lost seasons. Truly a galaxy-brain decision on my fiancees part.

Selflessly, Ive decided that Im giving you a wedding gift for being a loyal degenerate: 4 banger picks for this weekends upcoming games.

The Colts rank incredibly high on Walker Kellys patented Chaosmeter. Im not sure of the statistical implications, but I do know that its incredibly easy to beat any team with Mitchell Trubisky under center. George Pickens is having a Stevie Johnson-level existential crisis every time he runs a route, the team is still determined to run Najee into dust, and they cant stop opposing offenses. A big Michael Pittman week awaits us, and the Colts walk away with a win.

Carolina is a bad football team, who couldve seen that one coming? At the same time, Arthur Smith is learning that maybe leading with a scheme that gets his best players the ball is worth running. Atlanta runs zone the most in the league, and Carolina gives up the second most yards to zone runs. Atlanta is a top 3 offense in red zone rush rate, and Carolina gives up the most rushes inside the 5 this season. Smash the Falcons -3, and take as many Bijan overs as you possibly can.

Baltimore should be the number-one seed in a fraudulent AFC this year when all is said and done. With that in mind, they tend to play down to the quality of their opponents. I think this can bite them in the ass and cost them that top seed, but I dont think that letdown happens in this game. Jacksonville is far from a complete team, and Trevor Lawrence at full health covers up a lot of shitty Press Taylor schematic issues. That said, TLaw isnt at full health and the Ravens defense is going to turn up the pressure. Baltimore should win this game handily.

Its my wedding weekend and I can bet on the Bears if I want to, so I will. The Joe Flacco story is truly one to behold, but at the same time this Browns defense is getting absolutely rocked with injuries and I believe in the Justin Fields/DJ Moore connection against the man coverage scheme that Cleveland utilizes extensively (the numbers agree with me). Injuries on the Bears defensive line are also not ideal, but the addition of Montez Sweat has completely turned this defense around. Joe Flacco should be under pressure all game, and the secondary has the ability to smother Amari Cooper. Im taking the Bears on the road, and hoping the win streak extends to 3.

Last Week: 1-2-1 Year to Date: 30-25-1 (3-11 Long Shot Plays)
