While Alpine might have failed to clinch the Grand Prix, it didn’t stop Travis Kelce from partying with the winners! The Kansas City Chiefs tight end celebrated Lando Norris’ victory at Carbone Beach. It truly was ironic to see the new co-owner reveling with the McLaren driver, which also happens to be Alpine’s rival!

Lando clinched his first Grand Prix trophy by defeating Red Bull’s M. Verstappen and Mercedes’ Louis Hamilton, with the Alpine driver Esteban Ocon finishing 10th. Kelce attended the Mclaren star’s bash just a few hours after attending the Kentucky Derby. Kelce was seen leaving South Beach’s popular supper club, dressed in a white Kidsuper patchwork shirt, matching trousers, and light pink sneakers.

While Taylor Swift was missing from her beau’s side, busy with her Eras Tour, Patrick ‘Magic’ Mahomes attended the F1 event with his teammate. However, the pop star wasn’t forgotten, as Kelce was offered one of the now-synonymous-with-his-relationship friendship bracelets by a fan. While the Super Bowl winner was delighted with the gift, he guiltily confessed that he didn’t have one to offer back. He said, “I wish I had one to give back.”

The Miami Grand Prix was a star-studded affair with several high-profile names from the sports world in attendance. LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Odell Beckham Jr., and Tom Brady were among those spotted at the Hard Rock Stadium to enjoy the championship motor race. The New England Patriots legend wasn’t in the headlines just for his F1 appearance, but also for his recent wisecracks at the expense of the Kelce-swift romance.

Brady roasts Swift and Travis Kelce in his Netflix special

After suffering through endless jabs on Netflix’s ‘The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady,’ the quarterback finally got the center stage. In his closing speech, the all-time great had some witty jabs of his own, especially at the most popular sports romance in recent years.

The former Patriots star poked fun at Swift’s young fans, which later incurred the wrath of the Swifties.”Kansas City, you say your stadium is the loudest?” asked Brady before delivering the punchline. “It helps when all your fans are 14-year-old girls. And in honor of Tay Tay, let’s take a look at the Chiefs’ eras. Terrible for 50 years, good for five. Shake it off.
