After the Kansas City Chiefs won 26-7 against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night, advancing in the NFL Playoffs, Taylor Swift joyfully celebrated. The thirty-four-year-old player, Kelce, played a big part in the Chiefs’ win with seven receptions for 71 yards.
As the game was ending, cameras caught Swift sitting between Donna Kelce and Brittany Mahomes, happily singing along with other Chiefs fans.
This victory means the Chiefs move forward to the next round of the playoffs the following weekend. It also opens up the possibility of winning more games in the AFC Championship round and even reaching the Super Bowl.
Taylor Swift was a regular at Chiefs games during the season
The Kansas City Star thinks the Chiefs have a 70% chance of reaching the Super Bowl. It’s important because if they do, it will be their fourth time in the championship game in the last five years, and they won in 2020 and 2023.
Travis Kelce played a big role in the Chiefs winning the AFC West division for the eighth time in a row and making it to the playoffs nine times in a row. He’s also in a growing romantic relationship with Taylor Swift. During the season, Swift often watched Chiefs games from a special box, sitting with the families of teammates and Kelce.
People close to the Kelce family say Taylor is kind and easy to get along with. Donna Kelce, Travis’s mom, appreciates this. She even mentioned in the Wall Street Journal that her son has been very happy since being with Taylor Swift, and Donna Kelce was named one of PEOPLE’s 25 Most Interesting People of the Year.
Taylor Swift was always there to cheer Kelce
Taylor Swift was always there, cheering for Kelce on the sidelines. Kelce finished the regular season really well—93 receptions, the most on the team, for 984 yards and five touchdowns. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw the ball to Kelce 121 times, more than anyone else on the team, showing they have a strong connection.
Even at 34 years old, Kelce has gotten over 1,000 receiving yards in each of the last seven seasons. In the Chiefs’ last game of the regular season, he decided not to play, saying on a podcast that he didn’t want to play just to reach 1,000 yards. It didn’t feel right to him. Kelce made it clear that he’d rather take a break, avoid unnecessary hits, and get ready for the playoffs.
The head coach, Andy Reid, praised Kelce for being humble and not wanting to seem conceited.
Valentine’s Day Gift Pressure: The Kelce Brothers Admit
Even the Kelce brothers feel the pressure when it comes to picking Valentine’s Day gifts! In a recent episode of their New Heights podcast, NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce talked about their own plans for the upcoming romantic occasion.
Travis understood the challenge of finding the right gift when he saw an Etsy ad where Jason shared his realistic approach and what his wife usually gets. Recognizing the difficulty of choosing the perfect gift for a loved one, 34-year-old Travis recommended Etsy as the go-to place for adding a personal touch to gifts.
“Valentine’s Day is coming up, and it’s that time when I start looking for something really special for Kylie,” said Jason, who is 36 years old. He chuckled and admitted, “Well, that’s not entirely true; I usually end up doing it last minute, just like every other guy out there on the planet.”
Then, Travis playfully tried to guess what Jason might be planning for the mother of his three daughters. Jason revealed a common trend: “I usually get the same flowers and chocolates every year.” Travis laughed and excitedly responded, “Oh, chocolates and flowers! Classic!”
Travis is particularly excited about this Valentine’s Day because he’s spending it with Taylor Swift, whom he’s been dating secretly since the summer.
In a recent podcast episode, Travis talked about the thoughtful and stylish Christmas gifts he gave to his teammates, giving a peek into his gift-giving approach. He and high-end sportswear designer Daniel Patrick collaborated to create matching velour jumpsuits, which Travis described as “nice,” “cozy,” and “comfy”—perfect for the upcoming winter.
