Taylor Swift - English
Travis Kelce - English
Grief has quietly encroached on NFL life this week as the Kelce family gathers to mourn the passing of Maureen Maguire, longtime partner of Ed Kelce.
Despite being a prominent part of the Kelce family’s constellation, both Travis Kelce and his partner Taylor Swift were notably absent from the funeral, which took place on Thursday at St. John Vianney Church in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania.
Instead, the duo remain committed to intense preparations at Kansas City Chiefs training camp in Missouri, just days before the NFL season kicks off.
Jason Kelce, now retired from the NFL, and his wife Kylie represented the family with visible emotion at the service. Ed Kelce walked alongside them, carrying the weight of loss with grace.
Maureen, 74, was remembered for her vibrant spirit, love of simple joys like dogs and the beach, and her unexpected newfound passion for football – often attending Chiefs games alongside Ed and Taylor Swift.
A personal loss amid professional demands
For Travis, this marks a painful personal loss during a critical professional moment. As he prepares for his 13th NFL season, the shadow of the Super Bowl defeat still looms large.
The news of Maureen’s death reportedly added emotional weight to his mindset – it could even serve as a deeper motivation to refocus and deliver for his final contract year.
The absence from the funeral, while practical due to season obligations, nevertheless underscores the fragile balance between personal mourning and professional responsibility.
The Kelce family now searches for solace in shared memories amid grief, while Travis continues to gear up for a season full of expectation.

Análise: Perda da liderança do Brasileirão após derrota e queda de rendimento ligam sinal de alerta no Flamengo
A derrota do Flamengo ontem, por 1 a 0, para o Bahia, na Fonte Nova, ligou o sinal de atenção no clube por diversas razões. A principal delas é que, junto da virada por 3 a 2 conquistada pelo Palmeiras em clássico contra o São Paulo, o resultado fez com que o rubro-negro caísse para a segunda colocação do Campeonato Brasileiro, com os mesmos 55 pontos do alviverde, mas com uma vitória a menos e um jogo a mais. Além disso, a derrota representou a quarta partida das últimas seis em que o Flamengo não venceu no Brasileirão — e a segunda consecutiva que não marcou um gol sequer. O retrospecto indica uma queda no rendimento do time de Filipe Luís em meio a uma fase decisiva da temporada. Os três próximos jogos do rubro-negro após a pausa para a […]
How McLaren climbed out of the doldrums to become serial champions
"I walked in not understanding how bad it was..."Those are the words of McLaren chief executive Zak Brown reflecting on his first weeks in the team at the end of 2016, following two painful seasons during which finishing races wasn't a guarantee, let alone scoring points. Under Brown's leadership, with some significant help from team principal Andrea Stella, McLaren have transformed into a dominant force at the close of the current ground-effect regulations.On Sunday, the team wrapped up the Constructors' Championship with a record-equalling six rounds to go to match Red Bull's 2023 feat of the earliest the teams' title has ever been won.Stella told Sky Sports F1: "It's an incredible feeling, a feeling I want to share with the entire team. Congratulations to everyone at the factory, all our technical partners, everyone that supported us on this journey. "Already […]
