Kansas City is in love…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A new relationship is exciting. It can leave you feeling butterflies, and sometimes it’s the only thing you can talk about — just ask Kansas City.
Days after Taylor Swift cheered on Travis Kelce at the Chiefs’ latest home win, many in the city are still buzzing. (Of course, much of the internet still is, too.)
Swift, 33, seems to bring a wave of excitement and fervor everywhere she goes, and she can also be a boon to the economy.
Welcome to K.C., it’s been waiting for you.

Stanford doing better on Sunday than Saturday
Stanford alum scored six touchdowns in the Cardinals-49ers game, bringing some much needed smiles to the football office down on The Farm.
San Francisco’s Christian McCaffrey rushed for three scores and caught a TD pass while Micheal Wilson hauled in two scoring tosses for Arizona.
It’s been a rough few gridiron years for Stanford (1-4), which was crushed by Oregon, 42-6, on Saturday just 13 miles up the road.

From late last week: Colin Kaepernick writes letter offering to join Jets after Aaron Rodgers injury
Seven years after he last took an NFL snap, Colin Kaepernick believes he can still help a team in need of a quarterback — even if it means playing on the practice squad.
The former San Francisco 49ers signal-caller, who left the league in controversial fashion, wrote a letter to the Jets last week requesting a chance to play quarterback for them, but with a twist.
Rather than lobby for the Jets’ starting quarterback job as the team struggles in the wake of the season-ending injury to star Aaron Rodgers, Kaepernick asked for an opportunity to be the team’s practice squad quarterback.

Swift and Kelce inspire viral prank on TikTok
Did Taylor Swift put Travis Kelce on the map?
That’s the basis of the latest TikTok prank, in which people troll their football-loving partners by posting videos suggesting the pop star has made the Kansas City Chiefs tight end famous. (He has won two Super Bowls. And hosted NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”)
The prank, which began after Swift was spotted at last Sunday’s Chiefs game, entails people secretly recording themselves telling their partners that Swift put Kelce on the map and that nobody knew who he was before the association with Swift. The reactions, mostly from boyfriends and husbands, have ranged from shock to outrage.
“What? You’re kidding right?” one partner asked in response.
“Baby, that’s not what happened,” said another partner.
“Oh, my God, don’t,” another partner said. “Just don’t say that!”
