“Hustle culture has no future,” an op-ed on the Forbes web site proclaimed not so way back. But Forbes-official billionaire Taylor Swift and her consort, three-time Super Bowl champ turned sport present host (extra on that in a minute) Travis Kelce would possibly disagree. The star couple has day jobs that don’t require their attendance for a bit, however each are rising and grinding in their very own methods.
Swift’s Eras Tour is on a break till May, when it heads into 4 months of stops throughout Europe and the U.Ok. Kelce is again on the clock even earlier than that, because the Kansas City Chiefs—for which he performs tight finish—will maintain its first official exercise on April 15. Team actions rev up in May, and sure exercises can have obligatory attendance as of June.
But each are packing in work throughout their restricted downtime, with Swift asserting by way of an Instagram story on Saturday that her new album is lower than two weeks away. In the now-expired submit, a guide typewriter tapped out the phrases “13 days until the TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.” (The footage was black and white, so it’s unclear if the typewriter in query was the identical Searing Cutlass from her “All Too Well” quick. Let the Easter egg hunt begin!) The LP, which Swift introduced from this yr’s Grammys stage in her album of the yr acceptance speech, has a launch date of April 19.
At the identical time, Kelce is, per Us Weekly, in the midst of taping “several episodes” of the sport present Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, on which he isn’t a celeb however the far-less-intellectually-questioned host.
The present, which is reportedly capturing episodes back-to-back, began filming in early April and is predicted to proceed via subsequent week. The sequence is a reboot of Are You Smarter Than a fifth Grader, a Jeff Foxworthy-hosted sport present that pitted an grownup contestant in opposition to three tween children and ran from 2007-2011, with another season in 2015. The present then moved to under-new-scrutiny community Nickelodeon for a John Cena-hosted season in 2019.
In the brand new, Kelce-hosted iteration, the fifth graders have been swapped for as-yet-unnamed celebrities, who might or is probably not smarter than their civilian competitors. Perhaps certainly one of their challenges might be to determine how Kelce can full tapings, get in his NFL-mandated exercises, and nonetheless be part of Swift—as he’s publicly promised—for the European leg of her blockbuster tour.
