Travis Kelce was in fine form as the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football, with the tight end smiling as he saw a sign referencing his girlfriend Taylor Swift
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce was all smiles when he spotted a fan’s banner quoting Taylor Swift lyrics following the team’s victory against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Chiefs star had an impressive game with 10 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown, showing his strong on-field connection with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
After shaking off a sluggish start to the 2024 season, Kelce’s performance post-bye has fans talking about his undeniable talent again. Onlookers noted he was particularly unstoppable during the clash with the Raiders, and the tight end himself seemed pretty chuffed with how he played.
In related news, the Minnesota Vikings are dealing with a tough blow as they received a devastating injury update on Christian Darrisaw following their bout with the LA Rams. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have made a roster move that might just open up enough cap space for yet another high-profile signing after bringing DeAndre Hopkins on board.
As for Kelce, the heartwarming moment came when leaving the field; he caught sight of a sign featuring Swift’s cleverly altered lyrics from her ‘Karma’ track—lyrics she serenaded at an Argentina show which he attended: “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me”.
Beaming, Kelce walked by the poster brimming with pride as he headed off to the locker room, while his girlfriend, the pop sensation herself, continues her bustling tour schedule away from the gridiron spotlight.
Swift has been lighting up stages in Miami and New Orleans recently, but she’s now set for a two-week break. It’s likely she’ll spend this time with Kelce before jetting off to Canada to continue her tour.
Despite attending only three Chiefs games this season, compared to 13 last year, Swift is hoping to see her beau shine on the world’s biggest sporting stage again this year. With the Chiefs undefeated, they’re tipped to win their third consecutive Super Bowl – a feat no team in NFL history has ever achieved.
The chances of Mahomes and Kelce clinching the title were boosted this week when the team traded for superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. As the season progresses, he’s expected to become the go-to receiver.
