The entire world is watching their first game, especially since it takes place in Brazil, and the NFL is doing everything they can to draw interest to American football on an international level.<\/p>\n<p>For players like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, playing in such a high-profile game doesn\u2019t make them nervous. They\u2019re very used to the spotlight, and both players are in the public eye all the time. For Kelce, that\u2019s become even more the reality now that he\u2019s engaged to Swift. For the past two years that they\u2019ve been dating, they\u2019ve been in the media constantly, and they\u2019re taking it in stride.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is this a big weekend in sports, since it\u2019s the start of the NFL\u2019s regular season, but it\u2019s a big weekend in music. That\u2019s because the MTV VMAs are on Sunday, September 7, and it\u2019s an event that draws plenty of the biggest names in music spanning the genres. Even if MTV doesn\u2019t play music videos anymore, they\u2019re still very much a part of the fabric of the music world.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Decide on Attendance to Major Event<\/h2>\n<p>So, will Kelce and Swift attend the MTV VMAs together following the Chiefs opener, now that they\u2019re engaged? The answer is no. According to multiple reports, both of them will skip the VMAs this year.<\/p>\n<p>The reason Kelce isn\u2019t attending the awards show is because he\u2019s in Brazil for the opening game, and even if he\u2019s home in time, he\u2019s likely going to want to take it easy. For Swift, she\u2019s only up for one award this year and will likely be up for several next year, when her new album is out, as Elle notes, citing that as a reason to not attend.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Last year, Swift won even trophies. Her single \u201cFortnight,\u201d which features Post Malone, won Video of the Year, Song of the Summer, Best Collaboration, Best Editing and Best Direction. Swift also took home awards for Artist of the Year and Best Pop Artist.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Looking Back on Taylor Swift\u2019s Podcast Appearance on \u2018New Heights\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The world was watching as Taylor Swift appeared as the special guest on Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs and his brother Jason Kelce\u2019s podcast, the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast on Wednesday, August 13. Swift was breaking the news on the show that her new album is on the way, which will mark her 12th and be named \u201cLife of a Showgirl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swift and the Kelce brothers made history on the show. According to streaming numbers on YouTube during the show, more than 1.3 million people were watching the episode debut live.<\/p>\n<p>On the podcast, Swift talked about everything from her Eras Tour to her newfound enjoyment for football to her obsession with baking. She\u2019s actually a big baker and has been experimenting with different sourdough bread recipes.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, nobody knew that these two would soon be engaged. But, Kelce proposed just a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
