Why Everyone Loves the Kentucky Derby

Before the showdown, Fallon went viral after posting an over-the-top video to her 27.1 million Instagram followers.

In the clip, the veteran comedian is seen lip-syncing to Taylor Swift’s Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me.

Fallon rocked a Swift hoodie and sweatpants adorned with her new album logo.

Wearing bright orange sunglasses, Fallon lowered the camera to show off custom-made Knicks Nike sneakers.

Travis Kelce’s next ring?

TRAVIS Kelce has three Super Bowl rings – and a psychic matchmaker reckons he could soon add an engagement ring.

Speaking to The US Sun, the psychic stated that Kelce will soon propose to his music megastar girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

But she also predicted that they would both end up getting married twice.

“The stars are aligned for these two right now,” Deborah Graham told The US Sun.

“I see the relationship moving forward and moving to the next level.

“The difficulty is that I see two life paths for them and two rings – I see two marriages for both of them.”

“Go, Knicks!” he captioned the video, which has racked up more than 200,000 likes.

“I need this adjustment ASAP,” said one fan in the comments section.

“Come on, Knicks!” added another.

“She’s coming to the show?!” said a third.

New York advanced to the NBA Conference Semifinals on Thursday night after securing a 4-2 series victory over the Sixers.

Jalen Brunson scored 41 points as the Knicks rallied from a halftime deficit.
