Travis Kelce may be dating the most popular woman in the world … but he was tight-lipped with his own family when it came to Taylor Swift — ’cause Kylie Kelce says they were all left in the dark in the early days of their relationship.

Jason Kelce‘s wife hopped on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast with Alex Cooper … where she said JK’s little bro made sure to keep updates regarding Swift as minimal as possible.

“It did not hit the group chat,” she said.

While the family knew they were together before they hard launched their relationship at a Chiefs game in 2023, Kylie said they found out not long before the rest of the world was put on notice.

She also addressed all the chatter about how long it took her to get acquainted with Taylor … revealing she didn’t meet Travis for “close to a year” after dating Jason, so it’s not as weird as people thought.

Not only that, she said Taylor was “a little busy” during the start of their relationship — a reference to her ultra-popular “Eras” tour.

“It’s just so silly to me that’s like the storyline that’s written,” Kylie said.

The two have been spotted together plenty of times since — from sitting together during the Chiefs’ playoff run to Kylie and even attending some of the Swift’s tour stops.

Vince Neil‘s birthday party in Florida may have been a lifesaver … because it’s the reason the Mötley Crüe frontman wasn’t onboard a doomed private jet flight that killed his longtime pilot.

Vince’s close friend, Lance Graves, tells TMZ … before Vince’s private jet was involved in a fatal crash Monday in Arizona, Neil and his friends were in Florida celebrating his 64th birthday.

The rocker’s girlfriend, Rain, was on the flight with her friend when it landed at Scottsdale Airport, lost control and crashed into a parked jet — killing Vince’s pilot — but Vince was not.

As we first reported … Vince’s girlfriend suffered 5 broken ribs in the crash. She was traveling with a friend who was also injured, and the plane’s co-pilot suffered injuries as well.

Vince’s friend says Rain will no longer be competing in the barrel racing competition as she’ll need time to recover from her injuries, both physically and emotionally. He says Vince’s friends will give her the “time and grace” she needs to heal.

Mötley Crüe’s manager previously told us Vince’s heart goes out to the pilot’s family and the band is brainstorming how they can help.

Vince’s friend says the pilot, a 78-year-old Marine veteran, flew with Vince for many years and Vince felt a loyalty to hire him after he retired from commercial airlines and wanted to support him.

A security guard at a Taco Bell slapped a woman clean across the face as she tried to place an order … and it’s all on video.

Footage from inside the Taco Bell Cantina location in downtown Los Angeles shows the restaurant’s security guard confronting a woman and smacking her upside the head.

The video picks up with the woman beelining to order from a kiosk … and the guard is hot on her heels. He grabs her arm, turns her so they’re face to face and unloads a vicious slap.

Customers in the store mostly watch in stunned silence … and the woman argues with the security guard before he’s ultimately able to usher her out the front door.

Unclear what sparked the confrontation … the video does not show the buildup.
