After a run of sensitive British men, Taylor Swift appears to be dating a stubbled American in a No. 87 jersey, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The coupling has put America into something akin to a state of emergency, but on NBC's "Today" show, Kelce's mother, Donna, offered a display of calm. "It's fairly new," she told the show's co-anchor Hoda Kotb. "Just another thing that's amped up my life." When asked how she'd liked hanging out with the thirty-three-year-old singer-songwriter at Arrowhead Stadium, Mrs. Kelce, wearing a dark jacket and green spectacles, smiled and said, "It was O.K." For the N.F.L. franchise, it was more than O.K. The first game Swift attended, the Chiefs versus the Chicago Bears, became the most watched telecast of the week, and sales of Kelce jerseys grew by nearly four hundred per cent.
Can romance be cashed out in brand loyalty? Certainly, when it comes to celebrity couples, passion and ambition are typically inseparable. David and Victoria Beckham, who became an item in 1997, may have brought the pop star-sports hero dyad to its modern apogee, making a billion hearts flutter while creating an interstellar expansion in their consumer base. Netflix's recent docuseries "Beckham," directed by Fisher Stevens, reveals their pairing to be blissfully adolescent.

CHICAGO ON THE SEINE CAMILLE BORDAS
I used to tell myself stories on the job, to make it feel exciting—spy stories, exfiltration stories, war stories. I used to come up with poignant little details that turned the repatriation cases I worked on into “Saving Private Ryan,” into “Johnny Got His Gun.”

FOND OF FLAGS
My wife is fond of fast food. I am not. My wife is particularly fond of the Wendy’s Baconator. I argue that it’s less expensive to order a Dave’s Double with a side of bacon, then put your own pretzels on top. (I’m fond of the Rold Gold Tiny Twists Original.)
