America’s hottest couple shared an emotional kiss in front of a huge crowd of cheering admirers before joining the raucous afterparty – which went on long into the night.

Fans were kept on the edge of their seats throughout the dramatic NFL game, with Swift seen nervously chugging beer in the stands.
The Grammy winner held her breath as she watched the final nerve-shredding stages of the game, with her beau’s team the Chiefs winning over the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in Sin City with seconds to go – sending her into wild celebrations.
But the night was full of twists and turns that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. Shortly before half-time the Chiefs were trailing the opposition prompting an outburst from Kelce.
He screamed in the face of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and nearly knocked the 65-year-old off his feet before being hauled away.
It was shocking and threatened to become the defining image of a night when Kansas City unravelled and spurned a chance to make history.
The tense game unfolded in front of a star-studded crowd with American rapper Jay-Z taking pictures of his daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi on the pitch before the game kicked off and then joining his wife Beyonce in the stands.
Justin Bieber, who had been rumoured to appear as a guest singer during the half-time show, and his model wife Hailey were filmed dancing during Usher‘s performance, while Leonardo DiCaprio, Lady Gaga and Lana Del Ray also enjoyed the day out. Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney spotted chatting away in Swift’s £1.6million suite.

In response one man said: ‘Hey Bill’s wife did you enjoy the game?’ While another added: ‘He has a name.’
Last night’s win marks the third time the Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, have won the Super Bowl in five years.
Mahomes led his team to a 25-22 victory in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, collecting his third ring, after he threw the match-winning touchdown to Mecole Hardman Jr in overtime. After the game he thanked his coach who he said ‘knows when to call those plays at the right time’.
The football star said: ‘He’s one of the best coaches of all time, I believe he is the best coach of all time.
‘I know he didn’t have the trophies yet, and I have a lot of respect for some of those great coaches, but the way he is able to navigate every single team he has, continue to have success no matter where he is at.
‘For me, he brings out the best in me because he lets me be me. He doesn’t try to make me anyone else, I don’t think I would be the quarterback that I am if I didn’t have coach Reid being my head coach.’
Down 19-16 with less than two minutes left, the quarterback took the game into his own hands and led his team downfield to give kicker Harrison Butker a chance at a 29-yard field goal with just six seconds left, which he converted, sending the game to overtime.
The 28-year-old continued to dominate the big moments in overtime, running the ball on fourth down to keep the game alive and give his team a set of new downs. He finished with 333-passing yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner.
The last-minute win had crowds on the edge of their seats – including Swift who was pictured watching the game intensely during the final moments.
