Taylor Swift’s Reaction To Accidentally Clubbing With Her Parents Is All Of Us

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce headed to the club to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ stunning Super Bowl win in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

And with them, they brought two unexpected guests: her parents, Scott and Andrea Swift.

The Blank Space singer hilariously posted a TikTok of the after-party with her parents, captioning the video, “Accidentally going clubbing with your parents is something everyone should try at least once in their life.”

“It’s a friends and family party, they said,” Taylor Swift wrote in text over the video clip, which showed Kelce sticking his tongue out at the camera.

“Bring your parents, they said,” she joked, as Ludacris’ What’s Your Fantasy played in the background and her mom and dad looked at the camera.

The video ended with Swift giving the camera a slight grimace.

Swift and the Chiefs partied at the XS Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas, according to a Wynn press release shared with HuffPost on Monday, and arrived at around 2:15 am.

Fellow celebrities ― including Miles Teller, Jason Kelce, Brittany Mahomes and Blake Lively ― partied alongside the Super Bowl champs. The Wynn shared that Kelce and Swift stayed out until at least 5:15 am.

During their celebratory night out, the couple sang along to two of Swift’s hit songs, Love Story and You Belong With Me.

Swift will head back to the stage in just a few days, as she heads to Melbourne, Australia, for the next international leg of her Eras Tour.

Just prior to the Super Bowl, the Cruel Summer singer performed four straight nights at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.

Blake Lively Expertly Responds To Ryan Reynolds’ Super Bowl Trolling

Blake Lively knows exactly how to handle husband Ryan Reynolds’ trolling attempts.

Reynolds expertly called out Lively, who attended the Super Bowl with Taylor Swift on Sunday, during the big game.

“Has everyone seen the #Deadpool trailer?” he wrote on Instagram on Sunday, as the trailer for his new film, Deadpool 3, dropped during the game.

“Also, has anyone seen my wife?” Reynolds quipped, referencing his wife’s high-profile attendance at the game alongside Swift.

Of course, Lively had the perfect retort ready for her husband of over 10 years.

“Honey, I’m home,” the Gossip Girl actor posted to her Instagram story after watching the Super Bowl and celebrating at the after-party in Las Vegas.

“My day was good. Yours?” she added, posing in front of the exact same spot Reynolds did, with Deadpool on in the background.

Earlier this year, both Lively and Reynolds attended a Kansas City Chiefs game with Swift to help cheer on her beau, Travis Kelce.

The Spirited actor later told “Extra” that he had “a lot of fun” at the game ― and seemingly referenced the effect Swift’s relationship with Kelce had on the NFL.

“The NFL right now is reaching a kind of fever pitch, you know, that’s usually only reserved for the Super Bowl,” Reynolds said back in October. “But, you know, here we are at the fourth or fifth game of the year and it’s already happening.”

Swift’s appearance at the Super Bowl marked the 13th time the singer has attended one of Kelce’s games. Given that 13 is her lucky number, some Swifties thought the significant milestone would bring good luck to the Chiefs.

Whatever was in the air obviously worked, as the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime.

Travis Kelce Reveals If He’ll Be Taylor Swift’s Date To The Grammys

Travis Kelce is trying to keep his head in the game before Super Bowl LVIII.

While there was some speculation the NFL star would be on girlfriend Taylor Swift’s arm at this weekend’s Grammy Awards, Kelce confirmed he won’t be around for the biggest night in music.

“I wish I could go support Taylor at the Grammys and watch her win every single award that she’s nominated for, but I think I’ve got practice on Sunday,” he said during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday.

This year, Swift is nominated for six awards, including Record of the Year and Album of the Year.

“Unfortunately, I’ve got to get ready for this big old Super Bowl that we’ve got in a week,” the tight end added.

Although Kelce isn't joining Swift at the Grammys, it's still unknown if she'll be able to make it to the Super Bowl to support Kelce.

While Kelce and Swift’s relationship has caused a frenzy, the athlete told McAfee his personal life is not going to be a distraction on the field.

“Football is my main focus right now,” he said. “There’s a lot of people counting on me … and on top of that, it’s in my heart to be able to pour everything I got out there on the field.”

The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, February 11, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

It’s still up in the air if Swift will make it to the big game to support Kelce.

While she’s been a fixture at Chiefs games this season, she’ll be performing in Toyko the night before the Super Bowl.

Usher Has Emotional Reflection On Road To Super Bowl Halftime Show

Usher has been on quite the run lately, and that train isn’t stopping anytime soon. The eight-time Grammy-winning singer is currently wrapping up his hit Las Vegas residency after a brief pause in September for a residency in Paris, and gearing up for a new era with his forthcoming studio album “Coming Home.”

After 30 years of being a mainstay in R&B, Usher is taking this time to reflect on what’s in store for him as he enters a new era, one he calls his “magnum opus.”

“[Vegas] brought everybody together,” Usher told me on the inaugural episode of “I Know That’s Right,” HuffPost’s podcast about entertainment news and internet culture. He said his residency and these recent years have put him on a clear path to be able to tackle one thing that has been on his bucket list for a while: a Super Bowl halftime performance.

“I’m very fortunate to have gotten that call from Jay Z that it was time, and of course, I was ready, and I am ready for it,” the My Way singer said. “I can tell you that you should expect a celebration, a celebration of life for those people who are not able to be here with me for this performance. I’m going to be celebrating for them. … We’ll be celebrating for the 30 years of a career that I stand on. I’ll be celebrating because music has been this connective tissue between me and people, because for every experience that I’ve had, I put it into music and maybe that gave us something to cry to, that gave us something to be vulnerable and transparent to.”

During the interview, Usher took time out to honour the life of his friend and drummer Aaron Spears, who died last month at age 47. He also put an emphasis on cherishing the life of his children. The musician has partnered with Sanofi to encourage families to test early for type 1 diabetes with “The 1 Pledge.” His child, who he asked not to be identified, was diagnosed with the disorder at age 6. It was a shock to Usher, but he said he wants to be more vulnerable about their story to help other families.

“If I had this opportunity, I would have really felt more prepared,” he said. “The greatest preparation is the fact that I was available. I love my babies. I love my children, and I want them to live an incredible life that flourishes and allows them to do each and everything that they want to do, and gives them the tools that they need in order to do it. So this journey starts with informing yourself.”

Usher gets vulnerable about fatherhood, his residency, the 20th anniversary of Confessions and his forthcoming album (dropping on February 11, the day of the Super Bowl) in this intimate interview.

Dolly Parton Explains Why She’s Passed On The Super Bowl Halftime Show ‘Many Times’

Dolly Parton isn’t ruling out a Super Bowl halftime show in the future, despite turning down invitations to perform at the big game on a number of occasions.

The Jolene singer, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, shared that she’s received offers to play the halftime show and explained why she has ultimately had to decline them.

“Oh, sure. I’ve been offered that many times. I couldn’t do it because of other things, or I just didn’t think I was big enough to do it — to do that big of a production,” said Dolly.

“When you think about those shows, those are big, big productions. I’ve never done anything with that big of a production. I don’t know if I could have. I think at the time, that’s what I was thinking.”

The iconic country musician nearly took part in the Super Bowl halftime show when Katy Perry was the headliner in 2015.

She told GQ in 2020 that she would have done the show because she loves Katy but revealed that her husband, Carl Dean, “was not doing good” at the time, so she didn’t want to leave him for the performance.

A future halftime show isn’t out of the question, however, with publication noting that she “looks at the epic performance slot a little differently” with the upcoming release of Rockstar, her first rock album.

“It would make more sense. That might change. I might be able to do a production show,” claimed Dolly, whose album drops in two weeks.

Dolly Parton is set to appear at a different halftime show later this month as the Dallas Cowboys announced that she’ll perform at the team’s Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Commanders on 23 November.

Fire” Lyrics: \n\nLiar, liar the world’s on fire\nWhatcha gonna do when it all burns down\nFire, fire burning higher\nStill got time to turn it all around\n\nNow I ain’t one for speaking out much \nBut that don’t mean I don’t stay in touch\nEverybody’s trippin’ over this or that \nWhat we gonna do when we all fall flat\n\nLiar, liar the world’s on fire \nWhat we gonna do when it all burns down\n\nI don’t know what to think about us\nWhen did we lose in God we trust\nGod Almighty, what we gonna do\nIf God ain’t listenin’ and we’re deaf too\n\nLiar, liar the world’s on fire\nWhatcha gonna do when it all burns down\nFire, fire burning higher\nStill got time to turn it all around\n\nDon’t get me started on politics\nNow how are we to live in a world like this\nGreedy politicians, present and past\nThey wouldn’t know the truth if it bit ‘em in the ass\n\nNow tell me what is truth\nHave we all lost sight\nOf common decency\nOf the wrong and right\nHow do we heal this great divide\nDo we care enough to try\n\nLiar, liar the world’s on fire \nWhat we gonna do when it all burns down\n\nBilly got a gun, Joey got a knife\nJaney got a sign to carry in the fight\nMarching in the streets with sticks and stones\nDon’t you ever believe words don’t break bones\n\nOh, can we rise above\nCan’t we show some love\nDo we just give up\nOr make a change\n\nWe know all too well\nWe’ve all been through hell\nTime to break the spell\nIn heaven’s name\n\nLiar, liar the world’s on fire\nWhatcha gonna do when it all burns down\nFire, fire burning higher\nStill got time to turn it all around\n\nLiar, liar the world’s on fire\nWhatcha gonna do when it all burns down\nFire, fire burning higher\nStill got time to turn it all around\n\n(Liar, liar, the world’s on

all around)\nLet’s rise above\n(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire\nWhatcha gonna do when it all burns down)\nLet’s make a stand\n(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire\nWhatcha gonna do when it all burns down)\nLet’s lend a hand\n(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire\nStill got time to turn it all around)\nLet’s heal the hurt\n(Liar, Liar, the world’s on fire\nWhatcha gonna do when it all burns down)\nLet
