Chiefs’ Travis Kelce answers NFL postseason question with Taylor Swift text

The Kansas City Chiefs The quest for an unprecedented third consecutive Vince Lombardi Trophy begins in earnest on Saturday when they welcome the Houston Texans to Arrowhead Stadium in a playoff game.

The Texans were upset Los Angeles Chargers in the wild card round over the weekend, which punched them a ticket to the divisional round. Travis Kelce, 35, has been in the NFL for more than a decade, but the Chiefs star tight end told ESPN’s Pat McAfee that he still feels the energy of a young athlete.

Kelsey gave a specific number — 22 — when asked how he feels about the Chiefs making the playoffs. “22” is also referred to as one of pop star Taylor Swift’s songs from her album “Red”.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m 22 years old,” he said, nodding to one of the song’s lyrics during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show this week.

Kelsey and Swift have been romantically involved for over a year, and the singer has been a regular at Chiefs games since the 2023 season.

Kelce was recently selected to his 10th consecutive Pro Bowl. But he’s likely hoping to skip the event and pitch for the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

While Kelce fell short of the coveted 1,000 receiving yard mark last regular season, he seemed to transition into playoff form as the year progressed.

Kelce was a key part of three Super Bowl-winning teams, including the Chiefs’ victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII and last year’s title. No NFL team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
