Simone Biles came away from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding celebration with a story that had nothing to do with the ceremony itself - and everything to do with a missing pair of sunglasses.
Biles, who has 11 Olympic medals, was among the athletes, entertainers and celebrities at the high-profile event in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Her presence sparked some fan curiosity online, and she answered that chatter with a blunt reminder: “Remember this, I only show y’all what I want y’all to know,” she wrote.
Weeks later, Biles offered a lighter detail from the party when asked about a favorite memory. She said Avril Lavigne ended up with a pair of her YSL sunglasses during the wedding festivities.
“I messaged her on Instagram and was like, ‘Yo, can I get those YSL’s back?’ But I don’t think she’s seen it yet,” Biles said.
Lavigne has not publicly responded, and Biles described the moment with a smile, making it clear she wasn’t treating it like a serious issue.
The wedding invite also fit into a relationship that has stretched back years between Biles and Swift. Swift congratulated Biles and the U.S. women’s gymnastics team after their gold-medal run at the 2016 Rio Olympics, and the connection deepened in 2021 when Biles stepped away from Olympic competition because of “the twisties.”
At that time, Swift sent Biles a supportive text that read, “I cried watching YOU,” Swift wrote. “I feel so lucky to have gotten to watch you all these years, but this week was a lesson in emotional intelligence and resilience.
We all learned from you. Thank you.”
So yes, Biles got the invite. And apparently, it came with a side quest for her sunglasses.

Kadarius Toney Just Reopened A Chiefs Debate Fans Didn't Expect
Kadarius Toneys time in Kansas City still carries enough weight that even a passing glimpse of him can stir up old conversations. He was a real part of the Chiefs Super Bowl LVII run, flashing the kind of game-breaking ability that included a record punt return and a touchdown catch, before injuries and a limited role eventually pushed him out of the picture. After his release in August 2024 and a brief stop with the Browns, Toney had appeared to move on to other pursuits.
Now his name is back in the Chiefs orbit for a different reason, and not because of anything on the field. A recent photo showing Toney with a Chiefs helmet has set off the kind of speculation that always follows a former playmaker with unfinished business in Kansas City, even if nothing official has been said about a reunion. For a fan base that remembers how explosive he can be when healthy, it is enough to reopen a debate no one necessarily expected to revisit this soon. [Read more 🡒]
Travis Kelces Camp Look Has Chiefs Fans Debating One Big Thing
Travis Kelces latest look from camp has given Chiefs fans something unexpected to pick apart as the team works through the early grind of preparation. The veteran tight end, fresh off marrying Taylor Swift, was the subject of a viral practice video that quickly turned into a bigger conversation about how he looks and what might be behind it, with plenty of fans weighing in from different angles.
Some of the reaction centered on his physical condition, while others pointed to the possibility that football gear and practice setup were influencing the way he appeared on video. For now, there has been no official word tying the chatter to Kelces fitness or his status, which leaves the Chiefs with one more offseason talking point hanging in the air as camp continues.

Patrick Mahomes May Already Have A New Camp Favorite
Patrick Mahomes has spent the opening stretch of Chiefs training camp leaning on a new name in the receiver group, and rookie Cyrus Allen has been impossible to ignore. The fifth-round pick has been getting more chances in team drills and has shown up with a handful of highlight grabs, a notable start for a player trying to carve out a role in a crowded offense.
Kansas City is still early in the evaluation process, and camp can change quickly once the pads come on and the reps get sorted out. But with Rashee Rice seeing limited participation so far, Allens growing work with Mahomes has become one of the more interesting developments on the field, a small but telling sign that the rookie is making the most of his opportunities.
