Taylor Swift Could Play Role in Iconic Sports Rivalry
Those who haven't been living under a rock for the past 18 months are well aware of the relationship between Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The couple kicked off their relationship in the summer of 2023 after Kelce called out the billionaire musician for avoiding his request to exchange friendship bracelets. The rest, as they say, is history as the couple has been inseparable over the past year and a half.
Kelce attended Swift's Eras Tour on a number of occasions all around the world including in London and Singapore. Meanwhile, the 14-time Grammy winner has been a mainstay at Chiefs home games ever since their romance started - attending her first game in September 2023 in a bout between the Chiefs and Chicago Bears.
Taylor Swift attends the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.However, Swift's exposure to the sporting world might just be getting started. According to a new report from RAC1, via Sports Illustrated, Swift could be the musical artist to feature on Barcelona's shirt as it takes on bitter rival Real Madrid in El Classico.

Swift is reportedly the "first choice" to be the next artist to appear on Barcelona's iconic shirt in the highly-anticipated game on Sunday, May 11. She's reportedly the top choice from Barcelona, which allegedly hopes to have Swift collaborate with its sponsor - Spotify, who named Swift the Global Top Artist for 2024.
Ed Sheeran and Travis Scott are reportedly in conversation for the role as well, which previously went to the likes of Coldplay, Drake and the Rolling Stones.
Swift does have a brief relationship with Barcelona's rival, playing two sold out shows at the home of Real Madrid, Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Kylian Mbappe to miss Real Madrid's Club World Cup game against Pachuca due to illness
Kylian Mbappe will not feature in Real Madrid's Club World Cup game against Pachuca on Sunday. The 26-year-old missed his side's opening game against Al Hilal on Wednesday and was later hospitalised after being diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. The France international left the hospital on Thursday but has not recovered in time to travel to Charlotte with his Real Madrid teammates to face Pachuca at the Bank of America Stadium. Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal will also not be available for Sunday's game against the Mexican side. The 33-year-old defender has been out of action since he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee in October last year. He has since returned to training, but a neck injury will see him miss Real's second group stage game. Advertisement However, Antonio Rudiger will be part of Real's squad for the Pachuca game. The 32-year-old centre-back had been sidelined since late April after after undergoing surgery for a meniscus tear in hs left knee.

Arsenal plot raid for Real Madrid frontman after top target chooses Barcelona
Arsenal have been among the clubs who were tracking Nico Williams for the past few weeks. But everything suggests the player could be on his way to Barcelona this summer. This is why Arsenal have shifted their priorities in the market and may instead go for a Real Madrid frontman. Arsenal eye move for Rodrygo According to AS, Arsena's search for a new attacker has led them towards Rodrygo. Advertisement The Brazilian international is one of the few Real Madrid players who are in contention to leave the club after a disappointing season and a poor performance in the opening Club World Cup match. Rodrygo has found himself in a precarious position this summer, where if he fails to convince Xabi Alonso, he might be in for a reduced role in the Real Madrid setup. Arsenal have set their sights on Rodrygo (Photo by) That has put Arsenal on red alert, with Mikel Arteta reportedly keen on bringing in players that can offer versatility in the final third. Rodrygo, to that end, could be a perfect bet. Arsenal expect many hurdles However, Arsenal have accepted the signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid won't be as straightforward. Advertisement The Premier League giants are having difficulties meeting the high salary demand of key attackers. This was the problem in the Nico Williams deal and there is no reason why Rodrygo, too, will not also demand a similar package. The report adds that Arsenal are not necessary the top choice for top players across Europe and even though the Gunners are playing in the Champions League, Rodrygo might want to weigh his options. For now, though, the Brazilian remains focused on the Club World Cup, where he will have an opportunity to impress Xabi Alonso.
