THE TAYLOR SWIFT-TRAVIS KELCE ROMANCE

There are two prime NFL games this weekend, Dolphins-Bills at 1PM and Chiefs-Jets at 8:20PM. As my posting today is on that intriguing romance, I'll just focus on that second game.

She is filling MetLife Stadium, for Swift is scheduled to again be in the Chief's suite box, and prices have increased. Once at $168/seat, resale prices have jumped 25% each day and and as of Wednesday, was up to $245.

Even though this will be an away game, you can expect a lot of red #87 jerseys, as Travis Kelce's uniform sales went up by 400%.
The proximity is convenient this time, for she lives in Manhattan.

You might say that Taylor Swift and Don Knotts are exact opposites. She is a very much alive 33-year old, and Knotts, who I feature this week, passed away in 2006. He is the ultimate wimp, and she is at the top of her entertainment game.

Who really is Taylor Swift?

Born in 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania, she was named after singer-songwriter James Taylor.
Here is one of her high school photos.
Started professionally at the age 14 as a country singer.
First #1 hit was We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together in 2012 when she was 16. She also co-wrote that song.

Now, she just topped Maroon 5, Rihanna and Katy Perry with her 12th #1 hit, Cruel Summer, on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart.
Has sold over 200 million records and is the most-streamed female artist on Spotify.
Won 12 Grammy Awards.
Has 101 Guinness World Records.
Is an advocate for women's empowerment.

Known as a music chameleon, as she ventures into various genres.
Possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range with a soft timbre.
Has been referred to as one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Her tours shows her showmanship and stage presence.
Is reluctant to publicly discuss her personal life.
Taylor might have gotten married to Joe Alwyn, but most probably not.
Owns three cats, and Benson is the third richest pet animal in the world, with a net worth of just about $100 million.
She is worth $740 million.

Okay, okay, what about Travis Kelce.

Born in 1989 in Westlake, Ohio, and is around two months older than Swift, both 33-years old.
Both he and his brother Jason, who plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, went to the University of Cincinnati.
One of the greatest NFL tight ends of all time, with the Kansas City Chief. Was a third round pick by the Chiefs, and has been with them for a decade.
Has a popular podcast with Jason on the NFL.
Never married.

Swift's Eras Tour , her sixth, began on 17 March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona, and will conclude on 24 November 2024 in Toronto, Canada. There is a break from August 26 in Mexico City to November 9 in Buenos Aires. Will be Tokyo and Australia in February 2024, then to Singapore and all of Europe in May to August in Europe, return to Miami in October. Tickets? Forget it, but go to for resale on StubHub and Vivid Seat, meaning a much higher cost/seat.

But not to particularly worry, for her Eras Tour film will open on October 13 in 100 countries. No Rotten Tomatoes ratings yet.

But on to the budding Swift-Kelce relationship. Even Donald Trump has an opinion: “I wish the best for both of them. I hope they enjoy their life, maybe together, maybe not — most likely not,” Trump said. Watch Steve Kornacki of NBC with the stats.

A NEXT COVID SUBVARIANT?

By now most know that the Omicron BA.5 subvariant has become the dominant infectious agent, now accounting for more than 80% of all COVID-19 cases. Very few are aware that a new one, BA.4.6, is sneaking in and steadily rising, now accounting for 13% of sequenced samples . However, as BA.4.6 has emerged from BA.4, while there is uncertainty, the scientific sense is that the latest bivalent booster targeting BA.4 and BA.5 should also be effective for this next threat. One concern is that Evusheld--the only monoclonal antibody authorized for COVID prevention in immunocompromised individuals--is not effective against BA.4.6. Here is a reference as to what this means. A series of two injections is involved. Evusheld was developed by British-Swedish company AstraZeneca, and is a t ixagevimab co-packaged with cilgavimab . More recently, Los Angeles County reported on subvariant BA.2.75.2 . which Tony Fauci termed suspicio...

Part 3: OUR NEXT AROUND THE WORLD ODYSSEY

Before I get into my third, and final, part of this cruise series, let me start with some more newsworthy topics. Thursday was my pandemic day for years. Thus, every so often I return to bring you up to date on the latest developments. All these subvariants derived from that Omicron variant, and each quickly became dominant, with slightly different symptoms. One of these will shock you. There has been a significant decline in the lost of taste and smell. From two-thirds of early patients to now only 10-20% show these symptoms. JN.1, now the dominant subvariant, results in mostly mild symptoms. However, once JN.1 infects some, there seem to be longer-lasting symptoms. Clearly, the latest booster helps prevent contracting Covid. A competing subvariant, BA.2.86, also known as Pirola , a month ago made a run, but JN.1 prevailed. No variant in particular, but research has shown that some of you will begin to lose hair for...

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota. Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north. Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge. If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic. Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing. The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University. Caught a bus. Was called the Century 21 Exposition . Also the Seattle World's Fair. 10 million joined me on a six-month run. My first. These a...
