Travis Kelce Reveals Taylor Swift Movie Night Details
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Travis Kelce revealed details about his movie nights with girlfriend Taylor Swift on a new episode of his New Heights podcast. Newsweek reached out to Kelce's representative via email for comment on Wednesday. The Context The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 35, and pop star, 35, have been linked for nearly two years beginning in July 2023. Kelce was spotted at Swift's Eras Tour stop in Kansas City, Missouri at the time, and she was seen in the crowd at his NFL games. They confirmed they were a couple in October that same year at a Saturday Night Live after-party. What To Know On Wednesday's episode of New Heights, which Kelce co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, the siblings briefly chatted about Swift during their "Film Club" segment. Once a month, the duo watches and reviews classic movies, often from their childhood. They ask listeners for film suggestions and share their views about whether they stand the test of time. "We need to pick a genre," Travis Kelce said. "Do we want to do summer blockbusters? Maybe one of our favorites—Adam Sandler films in honor of Happy Gilmore coming out in July? We could do summer scaries if you guys want to do some scary movies, get into some horror films—movies that give you f****** nightmares." Travis Kelce makes a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2, which is set to be released on Netflix on July 25.

Rodriguez/Getty Images; Shirlaine Forrest/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management "Scary movies are fun to revisit because they're just absurd," Jason Kelce said. "They don't make any sense. Half of them are not even relevant anymore because of technology, like they'd be so easily solved in today's age by phones and whatnot." The brothers floated films like 10 Things I Hate About You, American Pie and She's All That. When Pretty Woman was suggested, Travis Kelce made a quick sidenote. "Could do Brink! We mentioned Pretty Woman—that's been on me and Tay's movie list for a while," the Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? host said, referring to the nickname he gave Swift. "I'm down to watch that." After news of their romance went public, Kelce has spoken out numerous times about Swift on New Heights. During an April 2024 episode of the show, the football star credited his girlfriend with bringing new fans to the sport. "It's fun, man," he told guest Lil Dicky. "I'm having a blast in life, baby, just flying high and enjoying it all... bringing new lives to the football world and opening the football world up to new things." What People Are Saying In the comments underneath the podcast on Spotify, fans were quick to make "Film Club" suggestions. Spotify user LG wrote: "I've been rewatching some 90s movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Cruel Intentions, those types. I actually still enjoy them lol! Also, how about some M. Night Shyamalan movies! Local Philly guy. Some of them are silly, but The Village and Signs are two that are really good." Svaughn said: "Gremlins, Breakfast Club, Goonies, Shanghai Noon [are] the bomb!" Judy Kerka Salmon added: "Here is a girly Disney 90s one for you with a little sports, High School Musical. Curious to find out if it is a rewatch or first watch." Megan chimed in: "3 Ninjas, Steel Magnolias, Tommy Boy." What Happens Next New episodes of New Heights are released on Wednesdays on platforms like Wondery, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube. The Chiefs' preseason begins on August 9.

Cher's son Elijah Allman hospitalized after erratic behavior, officials say
Elijah Allman, son of pop icon Cher and songwriter Gregg Allman, landed in the hospital this weekend after law enforcement responded to a report of a man 'acting erratically' in a home in the Mojave Desert. Deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department on Saturday responded to the residence in the unincorporated community of Landers where Allman, 48, 'was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel,' officials said in a statement shared with People. Deputies also 'located drugs inside the home' and the musicians' son was transported to a hospital. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, which did not immediately respond on Monday to The Times' request for comment and additional information, said it is investigating the incident. The statement did not reveal whether drug use led to Allman's hospitalization but TMZ, which broke the news, reported he overdosed earlier Saturday morning. A source told the outlet Allman is 'receiving the best care possible' and 'lucky to have survived.' A representative for Cher did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment and an inquiry about Allman's condition. Marieangela King, Allman's estranged wife, expressed support for her husband and spoke about his 'unwavering commitment to sobriety and his loyalty to those he loves' in a statement to People. She acknowledged that her spouse has 'faced personal challenges in the past.' 'Like many, he continues to confront his inner struggles — but it is important to recognize that he does so from a place of strength, not defeat,' she added. 'Despite the assumptions that often color how his journey is portrayed, the reality is that Elijah remains grounded, focused and deeply committed to living with integrity and purpose.' Allman has been open about his struggles with sobriety in the past, telling Entertainment Tonight in a 2014 interview that his drug addiction began before he was even a teenager. 'I mean it's just what you did, it's just what everyone did,' he told Rob Marciano at the time. 'I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and that's when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,' he said in 2014. He also recalled 'some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality.' Details of his alleged drug use also surfaced in December 2023 when his mother filed her bid for conservatorship to take over his finances. The Grammy-winning 'Believe' singer alleged at the time that her son was 'substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues.' Cher ended her conservatorship bid less than a year later, dismissing her petition in September 2024. King filed a petition to divorce Allman in Los Angeles in April, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' The couple, who married in December 2013, was previously headed for divorce when Allman filed a petition in 2021. In January 2024, he filed to dismiss that case without prejudice. Amid their ongoing relationship tensions, King underscored in her weekend statement, 'I will always root for him. 'My support is steadfast and comes from a place of deep respect for the person he is and the resilience he continues to show,' King said.
